Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay Lender (within fifteen (15) days of Lender’s written demand therefor), any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any reasonable costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the Loan hereunder. Upon written demand from Borrower, Lender shall demonstrate in reasonable detail the circumstances giving rise to Lender’s determination and the calculation substantiating the Adjusted Prime Rate and any additional costs incurred by Lender in making the conversion. Lender’s written notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

25


(c) In the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance in good faith by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:

 

  (I) shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder;

 

  (II) shall, if the Loan is then bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; or

 

  (III) shall, if the Loan is then bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, hereafter impose on Lender any other condition, the result of which is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder;

 

then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender (within fifteen (15) days of Lender’s written demand therefor), any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material as reasonably determined by Lender. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(c), Lender shall provide Borrower with at least thirty (30) days prior written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event or circumstance by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other Obligations.

 

(d) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (I) any default after the expiration of any applicable notice or grace periods by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on the Loan while bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Eurodollar Rate, (II) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the Loan on a day that (A) is not the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or (B) is the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto if Borrower did not give the prior written notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Eurodollar Rate hereunder and (III) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Applicable Interest Rate from the Eurodollar Rate to the Adjusted Prime Rate with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate on a date other than the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Eurodollar Rate hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (I), (II) and (III) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”). This provision shall survive payment of the Loan in full and the satisfaction of all other Obligations.

 

26


2.2.4 Payment on Maturity Date

 

Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including, without limitation, the Additional Interest), and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Security Instruments, and the other Loan Documents.

 

2.2.5 Payments after Default

 

Except as provided in Section 3.8 hereof, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan, shall accrue at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein, such amounts to be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such order as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, alternating applications thereof between interest and principal. Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due). To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Security Instruments. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default; and Lender retains its rights under the Note to accelerate and continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the happening and during the continuance of any Event of Default.

 

2.2.6 Late Payment Charge

 

Except as provided in Section 3.8 hereof, if any Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount is not paid by Borrower on 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 applicable law 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. Any such amount shall be secured by the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.

 

2.2.7 Usury Savings

 

This Agreement and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or 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 this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

 

27


2.2.8 Taxes

 

If the Loan is bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, all payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, Foreign Taxes, excluding, in the case of Lender, taxes measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which Lender is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of Lender, taxes measured by its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of Lender’s applicable lending office or any political subdivision thereof. If any non-excluded Foreign Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender hereunder (and such Foreign Taxes are not a result of activities of Lender unrelated to the Loan or Borrower), the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all non-excluded Foreign Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any non-excluded Foreign Tax is payable pursuant to applicable law by Borrower, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt, if available, or certified copy thereof showing payment of such non-excluded Foreign Tax. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender which may result from any failure by Borrower to pay any such non-excluded Foreign Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority of which Lender has used its commercially reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with prior written notice of or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, provided, however, in the event that Lender or any successor and/or assign of Lender is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a State thereof Lender agrees that, prior to the first date on which any payment is due such entity hereunder, it will deliver to Borrower (i) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying in each case that such entity is entitled to receive payments under the Note, without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and (ii) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or successor applicable form, as the case may be, to establish an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each entity required to deliver to Borrower a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or Form W-9 pursuant to the preceding sentence further undertakes to deliver to Borrower two further copies of the said letter and W-8BEN or W-8ECI or Form W-9, or successor applicable forms, or other manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such letter or form expires (which, in the case of the Form W-8ECI, is the last day of each U.S. taxable year of the non-U.S. entity) or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent letter and form previously delivered by it to Borrower, and such other extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by Borrower, certifying in the case of a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI that such entity is entitled to receive payments under the Note without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless in any such case an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such entity from duly completing and delivering any such letter or form with respect to it and such entity advises Borrower that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax, and in the case of a Form W-9, establishing an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such entity fails to provide a duly completed Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or other applicable form and, under applicable law, in order to avoid liability for Foreign Taxes, Borrower is required to withhold on payments made to such entity that has failed to provide the applicable form, Borrower shall be entitled to withhold the appropriate amount of Foreign Taxes. In such event, Borrower shall promptly provide to such entity evidence of payment of such Foreign Taxes to the appropriate taxing authority and shall promptly forward to such entity any official tax receipts or other documentation with respect to the payment of the Foreign Taxes as may be issued by the taxing authority.

 

28


Section 2.2.9 Extension of Maturity Date

 

Borrower shall have the option to extend the term of the Loan beyond the initial Maturity Date for three (3) successive terms (each, an “Extension Term”) of one (1) year each (each, an “Extension Term”) to (x) the Payment Date occurring one year following the initial Maturity Date, (y) the Payment Date occurring one year following the expiration of the first Extension Term and (z) the Payment Date occurring one year following the expiration of the second Extension Term (each such date, the “Extended Maturity Date”), respectively, and, as to each Extension Term, upon satisfaction of the following terms and conditions:

 

(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the applicable Extension Term is exercised and on the date that the applicable Extension Term is commenced;

 

(ii) Borrower shall notify Lender of its irrevocable election to extend the Maturity Date as aforesaid not earlier than one hundred twenty (120) days and no later than sixty (60) days prior to the then applicable Maturity Date (the “Extension Notice”);

 

(iii) Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender prior to commencement of such Extension Term, one or more Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreements, which Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreements shall be effective commencing on the first day of such Extension Term and shall have a maturity date not earlier than the next succeeding Extended Maturity Date;

 

(iv) in connection with the exercise of the second and third Extension Term, Borrower shall have paid to Lender the Extension Fee on or before the commencement of such extension term; and

 

(v) the maturity date of the Mortgage Loan shall have been extended such that the applicable maturity date of the Mortgage Loan shall not occur prior to the Maturity Date after giving effect to the proposed extension of the term of the Loan.

 

In the event that any of the foregoing conditions is not satisfied strictly in accordance with the terms hereof or waived by Lender in writing, the Extension Notice shall be null and void, and the Loan shall mature on the Maturity Date (without giving effect to the subject Extension Notice).

 

(b) All references in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents to the Maturity Date shall mean the applicable Extended Maturity Date in the event the applicable Extension Term is exercised.

 

Section 2.3 Prepayments.

 

2.3.1 Voluntary Prepayments

 

Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower shall not voluntarily prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, at any time during the Lock-Out Period. Thereafter, Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Loan in whole or in part (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), upon satisfaction of the following conditions:

 

(a) Borrower shall provide prior written notice to Lender specifying the date (the “Prepayment Date”) upon which the prepayment is to be made, which notice shall be delivered to Lender not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to such payment.

 

(b) Borrower shall pay to Lender, simultaneously with such prepayment, (i) if the Prepayment Date is not a Payment Date, (A) all interest on the principal balance of the Note then being prepaid which would have accrued through the end of the Interest Period then in effect, calculated at (1) the Applicable

 

29


Interest Rate if such prepayment occurs after the LIBOR Determination Date for the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs or (2) the Assumed Note Rate if such prepayment occurs before the LIBOR Determination Date for the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs (the “Interest Shortfall”) and (B) all Breakage Costs, if any, and without duplication of sums paid pursuant to clause (A) with respect to such prepayment, and (ii) a pro rata portion of the Additional Interest payable on the Maturity Date.

 

(c) each prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000.00 or any integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof.

 

In addition to the foregoing, Borrower may at any time (1) prepay a portion of the Loan or (2) deposit a Letter of Credit, in each case in an amount and to the extent necessary to cure a Triggering Event and achieve the Required Ratio provided Borrower satisfies the conditions 2.3.1(b) hereof.

 

Additionally, in the event that Mortgage Borrower sells the Property to an unrelated third party prior to the end of the Lock-Out Period, Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loan in full notwithstanding that the Lock-Out Period is then in effect, provided the following conditions are satisfied: (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) Borrower pays all accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan through the date of prepayment, (iv) Borrower pays the Additional Interest, (v) Borrower pays the Spread Maintenance Payment, (vi) Borrower pays all Breakage Costs, if any, and (vi) Borrower pays all other sums due under this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents.

2.3.2 Mandatory Prepayments

 

(a) On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Borrower or Mortgage Borrower actually receives any Net Proceeds, including at any time during the Lock-Out Period, if and to the extent the Mortgage Borrower is not entitled and is not otherwise permitted by Lender to use such Net Proceeds for restoration, Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Note in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds, subject to the rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents with respect to such Net Proceeds, together with any Interest Shortfall if the Prepayment Date is not a Payment Date. Any partial prepayment under this Section shall be applied to the last payments of principal due under the Loan, and a portion of the Additional Interest, calculated based on the amount of Net Proceeds being so applied, shall be due and payable contemporaneously therewith. All Net Proceeds received by Borrower shall be applied to the Loan only.

 

(b) Borrower shall have the right at any time to obtain a release of the Collateral if Lender has elected to apply the Net Proceeds of a Casualty or Condemnation of the Property towards the reduction of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note pursuant to this Section 2.3.2, provided, that, (i) no Event of Default has occurred and shall be continuing under this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, (ii) Borrower pays all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount of principal being prepaid through the date of prepayment, (iii) Borrower pays the Additional Interest, (iv) Borrower pays all Breakage Costs, if any, without duplications of the amounts provided for the proceeding clause (iii) above, and (v) Borrower pays all other sums then due under this Agreement, the Note, and the other Loan Documents.

If, following an Event of Default, Lender shall accelerate the Debt and Borrower thereafter tender payment of all or any part of the Debt, or if all or any portion of the Debt is recovered by Lender after such Event of Default, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws such payment shall include the payment of interest due and payable on such date together with all other sums due and payable (including, without limitation, the Additional Interest) under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and, if the date of such payment is other than a Payment Date, Interest Shortfall and Breakage Costs.

 

2.3.4 Making of Payments

 

Each payment by Borrower hereunder or under the Note shall be made in funds settled through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System or other funds immediately available to Lender by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on or prior to the date such payment is due, to Lender by deposit to such account as Lender may designate by written notice to Borrower. Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day succeeding such scheduled due date. All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction for, any setoff, defense or counterclaims. Borrower shall not be barred from bringing a counterclaim in a separate action or any compulsory counterclaim.

 

Section 2.4 Interest Rate Cap Agreement

 

(a) Upon the occurrence of an Interest Rate Cap Event, Borrower shall obtain, or cause to be obtained, and shall thereafter maintain in effect, an Interest Rate Cap Agreement, which shall be coterminous with the Loan (as it may be extended) and have a notional amount which shall not at any time be less than the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan and which shall at all times have a strike rate equal to the Strike Rate. The Counterparty shall be obligated under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to make monthly payments equal to the excess of 1 month LIBOR over the Strike Rate, calculated on the notional amount with interest accrual periods and payment dates that match those of the Loan. The notional amount of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement may be reduced from time to time in amounts equal to any prepayment of the principal of the Loan in accordance with Sections 2.3 and 2.5 hereof.

 

(b) Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender pursuant to an Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C, all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (and any related guarantee, if any) and shall deliver to Lender an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement and notify the Counterparty of such collateral assignment (either in such Interest Rate Cap Agreement or by separate instrument). The Counterparty shall agree in writing to make all payments it is required to make under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement directly to Lender or such other entity or account as directed by Lender. At such time as the Loan is repaid in full, all of Lender’s right, title and interest in the Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall terminate and Lender shall promptly execute and deliver at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, such documents as may be required to evidence Lender’s release of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and to notify the Counterparty of such release.

 

(c) Borrower shall comply with all of their obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be deposited immediately into such account as specified by Lender in writing. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of their rights thereunder.

 

31


(d) In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the long-term unsecured debt credit rating of the Counterparty below “AA-” (or its equivalent) by the Rating Agencies, Borrower shall replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice from Lender or Servicer of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification.

 

(e) In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any Replacement Interest Cap Agreement as and when required hereunder, Lender may purchase such Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Lender in purchasing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such cost is paid by Borrower to Lender.

 

(f) Each Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall contain the following language or its equivalent: “In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Counterparty below “AA-” (or the equivalent) by the Rating Agencies, the Counterparty must, within 30 days, either (x) post collateral on terms acceptable to each Rating Agency or (y) find a replacement Acceptable Counterparty, at the Counterparty’s sole cost and expense, acceptable to each Rating Agency (notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Counterparty’s rating is downgraded to “A” or lower, only the option described in clause (y) will be acceptable); provided that, notwithstanding such a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification, unless and until the Counterparty transfers the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to a replacement Acceptable Counterparty pursuant to the foregoing clause (y), the Counterparty will continue to perform its obligations under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. Failure to satisfy the foregoing shall constitute an Additional Termination Event as defined by Section 5(b)(v) of the ISDA Master Agreement, with the Counterparty as the Affected Party.”

 

(g) In connection with an Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender an opinion of counsel from counsel for the Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, that:

 

(1) the Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement;

 

(2) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property;

 

(3) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Counterparty of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and

 

(4) the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Counterparty, enforceable

 

32


against the Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 

Section 2.5 Release of Property on Payment in Full

 

Lender shall, at the expense of Borrower, release the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Instruments upon satisfaction of the Debt, including without limitation, payment of: (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Note; (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest, including, without limitation, Additional Interest (as reduced by any other prepayments in respect of which Additional Interest is not required to be paid, if any); (iii) if such payment is not made on a Payment Date, the Interest Shortfall; (iv) Breakage Costs, if any, but without duplication of any payment made pursuant to clause (iii) hereof; and (v) all other sums due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents.

Section 3.4 Eligible Accounts

 

Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to maintain each Account as an Eligible Account.

 

Section 3.5 Permitted Investments.

 

Sums on deposit in any Account described in Section 3.1(b)(i) through and including (ix) (other than the Property Account or Lockbox Account) may be invested in Permitted Investments provided (i) such investments are then regularly offered by Property Account Bank or Lockbox Bank, as the case may be, for accounts of this size, category and type, (ii) such investments are permitted by applicable federal, State, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and local rules, regulations and laws, (iii) the maturity date of the Permitted Investment is not later than the date on which sums in the applicable Account are required for payment of an obligation for which such Account was created, and (iv) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Borrower shall have the right to cause Mortgage Borrower to direct Property Account Bank or Lockbox Bank, as the case may be, to invest sums on deposit in such Accounts (other than the Property Account and the Lockbox Account) in Permitted Investments. All income earned from Permitted Investments shall be the property of Mortgage Borrower. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Property Account Bank or Lockbox Bank, as the case may be, to hold any income earned from Permitted Investments as part of the Accounts. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, State or local income or other tax applicable to income earned from Permitted Investments. No other investments of the sums on deposit in the Accounts shall be permitted except as set forth in this Section 3.5. Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Reserve Funds or of any funds deposited in the related Accounts.

 

Section 3.6 Triggering Event.

 

Triggering Event” shall mean the earliest of (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default, or (ii) the date on which the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the twelve (12) full calendar months immediately preceding the date of calculation (calculated assuming with respect to the Mortgage Loan an interest rate constant equal to the Contract Rate, and with respect to the Loan an interest rate constant equal to the then Applicable Interest Rate then applicable) is less than the Required Ratio. The Triggering Event shall be deemed cured (unless the cause of such Triggering Event was the occurrence of an Event of Default) on the first monthly test date on which the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (assuming with respect to the Mortgage Loan an interest rate constant equal to the Cure Contract Rate, and with respect to the Loan an interest rate equal to the Applicable Interest Rate then applicable plus 25 basis points) for the twelve (12) full calendar months for which Net Operating Income has been calculated based on the financial statements required to be delivered under Section 5.1.10 immediately preceding the date of calculation is equal to or greater than the Required Ratio and in connection with such cure Borrower shall no longer be required to deposit Excess Cash Flow into the Excess Cash Flow Account. The Required Ratio may be obtained by, (i) prepaying the Loan (or a portion thereof) subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents (the amount of such paydown, the “Paydown Amount”), (ii) posting cash collateral or a Letter of Credit in the Paydown Amount) or (iii) improved performance of the Property (a “Performance Cure”). In the event Borrower has cured the Triggering Event by posting cash collateral or a Letter of Credit in the Paydown Amount and the performance of the Property improve so that the Required Ratio is maintained without the cash collateral or Letter of Credit, as applicable, Lender shall promptly return the applicable cash collateral or Letter of Credit to Borrower upon Borrower’s written request therefor and, subject to Section 3.11 hereof, any sums in the Excess Cash Flow Account shall be distributed to Borrower. Borrower’s right to cure the Triggering Event shall be limited to two (2) times in each calendar year. In the event that (i) Borrower posts cash collateral or a Letter of Credit in the Paydown Amount and a subsequent Performance Cure occurs and (ii) Borrower does not request the return of the cash collateral or Letter of Credit as permitted hereunder, the occurrence of the Performance Cure (and the continued posting of the applicable cash collateral or Letter of Credit) shall not constitute a second cure for the purpose of the immediately preceding sentence. After the occurrence and during the

 

36


continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall be permitted to draw on any cash collateral or Letter of Credit deposited pursuant to this paragraph and apply the sums towards the Debt in whatever order and priority Lender desires.

 

Section 3.7 Transfer To and Disbursements from the Lockbox Account

Section 3.8 Borrower’s Obligation Not Affected

 

The sufficiency or insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Accounts is in no way related to and shall have no effect on Borrower’s obligations to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (except to the extent that sums sufficient to pay such amounts have been deposited in the Lockbox Account or are otherwise in escrow with Lender or Mortgage Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.

 

Section 3.9 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

 

Section 3.10 Lender Reliance.

As more particularly set forth in the Mortgage Loan Agreement, provided no Event of Default thereunder has occurred and is continuing, on each Payment Date all funds in the Excess Cash Flow Account shall be applied pro-rata by Mortgage Lender to pay down the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan. However, to the extent Excess Cash Flow is applied to pay the Loan (or a portion thereof), a portion of such payment of Excess Cash Flow in the amount of 3.20339% of such payment shall be paid to Lender in respect of the Additional Interest and only the balance of such

 

38


payment shall be applied in reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan. During the continuance of an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan Agreement, all Excess Cash Flow shall be applied by Mortgage Lender to pay down the Mortgage Loan. In certain circumstances, as more particularly set forth in the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Mortgage Borrower may have the right to direct Mortgage Lender to use the funds in the Excess Cash Flow Account to either (i) pay down the Loan and the Mortgage Loan pro rata or (ii) hold the funds in the Excess Cash Flow Account as additional collateral for the Mortgage Loan.

No contract to which Borrower or any of its Principals is a party contains any provision which provides that a change of ownership or control of Borrower or Principals resulting from the exercise of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents constitutes an unauthorized assignment thereof or gives the other party a right of termination or other right or remedy. Except to the extent obtained and delivered to Lender in writing prior to the date hereof, no registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any Person or any Governmental Authority (other than the filing of financing statements and continuation statements) is or will be necessary in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents by Borrower or any of Borrower’s Principals, consummation of the transactions herein or therein contemplated (including, without limitation, Borrower’s obtaining the Loan, the Guarantors’ guaranty of the certain Obligations of Borrower and the Borrower’s granting security for their Obligations under the Loan Documents), performance of or compliance by Borrower and any of Borrower’s Principals that is a party thereto with the terms and conditions hereof or thereof or the legality, validity and enforceability hereof or thereof.

(c) Borrower may cause Mortgage Borrower, without the consent of Lender, to amend, modify or waive the provisions of any Lease or terminate, reduce rents under, accept a surrender of space under, or shorten the term of, any Lease (including any guaranty, letter of credit or other credit support with respect thereto) provided that such Lease is not a Material Lease and that such action (taking into account, in the case of a termination, reduction in rent, surrender of space or shortening of term, the planned alternative use of the affected space) does not have a material adverse effect on the value of the Property taken as a whole, and provided that such Lease, as amended, modified or waived, is otherwise in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement, and the Mortgage Loan Agreement. A termination of a Lease (other than a Material Lease) with a tenant who is in default beyond applicable notice and grace periods shall not be considered an action which has a material adverse effect on the value of the Property taken as a whole. Any amendment, modification, waiver, termination, rent reduction, space surrender or term shortening which does not satisfy the requirements set forth in this Subsection shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and at Borrower’s expense. At Lender’s request, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender copies of all Leases, amendments, modifications and waivers which are entered into pursuant to this Section 5.1.17(c) together with Borrower’s certification that it has satisfied all of the conditions of this Section 5.1.17(c).

 

(d) Subject to the rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the extent permitted by law, Borrower shall promptly cause to be deposited with Lender any and all monies representing security deposits under the Leases, whether or not Borrower or Mortgage Borrower actually received such monies (the “Security Deposits”). Lender shall hold the Security Deposits in accordance with the terms of the respective Lease, and shall only release the Security Deposits in order to return a tenant’s Security Deposit to such tenant if such tenant is entitled to the return of the Security Deposit under the terms of the Lease and is not otherwise in default under the Lease. To the extent required by Legal Requirements, Lender shall hold the Security Deposits in an interest bearing account selected by Lender in its sole discretion. In the event Lender is not permitted by law to hold the Security Deposits, Borrower shall cause the Security Deposits to be deposited into an Eligible Account. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Lender’s rights under this Section 5.1.17 shall be subject and subordinate to Mortgage Lender’s rights pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

(e) Except as otherwise permitted herein, no warrants, stock options or similar rights in any tenant at any Property or any Affiliate thereof, any licensee or any other Person providing any services related to or for the benefit of the Property may be granted to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or Pledgor or their respective Affiliates in connection with any lease or in connection with any Property unless, subject to the rights of Mortgage Lender, Lender or Mortgage Lender receives a perfected security interest in such warrants, stock options or similar rights as security for the Debt or the Mortgage Debt.

5.1.18 Management Agreement.

 

(a) The Improvements on the Property are operated under the terms and conditions of the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement as applicable. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to (i) diligently perform and observe in all material respects all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, on the part of such Mortgage Borrower to be performed and observed to the end that all things shall be done which are necessary to keep unimpaired the material rights of such Mortgage Borrower under the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable and (ii) promptly notify Lender of the giving of any notice to such Mortgage Borrower of any material default by such Mortgage Borrower in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable on the part of such Mortgage Borrower to be performed and observed and deliver to Lender a true copy of each such notice. Borrower shall not, and shall not cause, permit, suffer to exist the surrender of the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, a consent to the assignment by the Manager of its interest under the Management Agreement (except as provided herein) or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, or a termination or cancellation of the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, or a modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, in any material respect, either orally or in writing, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Borrower hereby assigns to Lender as further security for the payment of the Debt and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement, all the rights, privileges and prerogatives of Borrower to surrender the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, or to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, in any respect, and any such surrender of the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, without the prior consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, shall be void and of no force and effect. If Mortgage Borrower shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, on the part of Mortgage Borrower to be performed or observed, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, on the part of Mortgage Borrower to be performed or observed to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Mortgage Borrower, to the end that the rights of Mortgage Borrower in, to and under the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, shall be kept unimpaired and free from default. Lender and any person designated by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, the right upon reasonable advance written notice to Borrower and Mortgage Borrower to enter upon the Property at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action. If the Manager shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice sent to a Mortgage Borrower of material default under the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, 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 unless such action constitutes the willful misconduct, fraud, illegal acts or gross negligence of Lender or Lender’s agent. Borrower shall notify Lender if the Manager sub-contracts to a third party any or all of its management responsibilities under the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable. Borrower shall, from time to time, obtain from the Manager such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by Mortgage Borrower with the terms of the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, as may be reasonably requested by Lender to the extent provided for in the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement if the Manger is not an affiliate of Borrower. Borrower shall exercise or cause the exercise of each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, upon demand by Lender made at any time within one (1) year of the last day upon which any such option

 

66


may be exercised, and Borrower hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact to exercise any such option in the name of and upon behalf of Borrower, as the sole owner of Mortgage Borrower, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest. Any sums expended by Lender pursuant to this paragraph shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such cost is incurred to the date of payment to Lender, shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by the Lien of the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.

 

(b) Without limitation of the foregoing but subject to the rights of the Mortgage Lender, Borrower, upon the request of Lender, shall cause to be terminated the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable and replace the Manager, without penalty or fee, if at any time during the Loan: (a) the Manager shall become insolvent or a debtor in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, (b) provided the Manager is an Affiliated Manager, there exists a non-monetary Event of Default which remains uncured for at least thirty (30) days following written notice from Lender to Borrower of such non-monetary Event of Default (provided, however, such thirty day notice and cure period is solely for the purpose of terminating the Management Agreement and Lender reserves all rights it has upon an Event of Default pursuant to Article VIII of this Agreement including, without limitation, a foreclosure of the Security Instruments), (c) provided the Manager is an Affiliated Manager, there exists a monetary Event of Default which remains uncured, or (d) there exists a default beyond all applicable notice and grace periods by Manager under the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable. At such time as the Manager may be removed, a Qualified Manager shall assume management of the Property pursuant to a Replacement Management Agreement.

 

5.1.19 Environmental Covenants

 

Except for conditions that exist on the date hereof and are expressly disclosed in an Environmental Report, (a) Borrower covenants and agrees that so long as Mortgage Borrower owns, manages, is in possession of, or otherwise controls the operation of the Property: (i) all uses and operations on or of the Property, whether by Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or any other Person, shall be in compliance with all Environmental Laws and permits issued pursuant thereto; (ii) there shall be no Releases of Hazardous Materials by Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower or Mortgage Borrower in, on, under or from the Property and Borrower shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, or cause commercially reasonable efforts to be used, to insure that there shall be no Releases of Hazardous Materials by any Person other than Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower or Mortgage Borrower in, on, under or from the Property; (iii) there shall be no Hazardous Materials in, on, or under the Property, except those that are in compliance in all material respects with all Environmental Laws and with permits issued pursuant thereto, if and to the extent required; (iv) Borrower shall keep, or cause to be kept, the Property free and clear of all Liens and other encumbrances imposed pursuant to any Environmental Law, whether due to any act or omission of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or any other Person (the “Environmental Liens”); (v) Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, fully and expeditiously cooperate, and cause Mortgage Borrower to fully and expeditiously cooperate, in all activities pursuant to paragraph (b) below, including but not limited to providing all relevant information and making knowledgeable persons available for interviews; (vi) Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, perform, and cause Mortgage Borrower to perform, any environmental site assessment or other investigation of environmental conditions in connection with the Property, pursuant to any reasonable written request of Lender, upon Lender’s reasonable belief that the Property is not in full compliance with all Environmental Laws, and share with Lender the reports and other results thereof, and Lender and other Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to rely on such reports and other results thereof; (vii) Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply, and cause Mortgage Borrower to comply, with all reasonable written requests of Lender to reasonably effectuate remediation of any Hazardous Materials in, on, under or from the Property in order to comply with any Environmental Law; (viii) Borrower shall use its best efforts,

 

67


and cause Mortgage Borrower to use its best efforts, to not allow any tenant or other user of the Property to violate any Environmental Law; and (ix) Borrower shall immediately notify, and cause Mortgage Borrower to notify, Lender in writing after receipt of written notice of (A) any material presence or Release or threatened Releases of Hazardous Materials in, on, under, from or migrating towards the Property; (B) any material non-compliance with any Environmental Laws related in any way to the Property; (C) any actual or potential Environmental Lien; (D) any required or proposed remediation of environmental conditions relating to the Property; and (E) any written notice or other communication of which Borrower becomes aware from any source whatsoever (including but not limited to a governmental entity) relating in any way to the non-compliance of any Hazardous Materials with all applicable Environmental Laws.

 

In the event Lender has a reasonable belief that the Property is not in material compliance with all Environmental Laws, Lender and any other Person designated by Lender, including but not limited to any representative of a governmental entity, and any environmental consultant, and any receiver appointed by any court of competent jurisdiction, shall have the right (subject to the rights of tenants and hotel guests), but not the obligation, to enter upon the Property at all reasonable times upon reasonable prior written notice to Borrower to assess any and all aspects of the environmental condition of the Property and its use, including but not limited to, conducting any reasonably necessary environmental assessment or audit (the scope of which shall be determined in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion) and taking samples of soil, groundwater or other water, air, or building materials, and conducting other invasive testing, and to take appropriate action to correct or ameliorate any material non-compliance with Environmental Laws. Borrower shall cooperate with, and cause Mortgage Borrower to provide reasonable access to and cooperate with, Lender and any such Person designated by Lender.

 

5.1.20 Alterations.

 

Borrower shall obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any material alterations to any Improvements, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed except with respect to alterations that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s financial condition, the value of the Property, the Collateral or the annual Net Operating Income of the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender’s consent shall not be required in connection with any alterations that will not have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s financial condition, the value of the Property, the Collateral or the Net Operating Income of the Property, provided that such alterations (a) are made in connection with tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms of any Lease executed on or before the date hereof or any Lease executed after the date hereof which is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, (b) are made in connection with tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms and provisions of a Lease and not adversely affecting any structural component of any Improvements, any utility or HVAC system contained in any Improvements or the exterior of any building constituting a part of any Improvements, (c) relate solely to Equipment, or (d) together with the related costs thereof have been provided for in the Annual Budget which has been approved by Lender pursuant to the terms hereof and (i) are non-structural in nature and (ii) are budgeted to cost (including all labor and materials) less than $500,000.00. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.1.20, any alteration, the cost of which is equal to, or greater than, $5,000,000.00 shall be subject to receipt of confirmation from the Rating Agencies that any such alteration will not result in a withdrawal, qualification, or downgrade of the then ratings assigned to the Securities.

 

5.1.21 Parking Lot Leases.

 

(a) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to comply with all of the terms and conditions of the Employee Parking Lot Lease, the Miramar Lease, the Regency Lease and the Miami

 

68


Lease (or the Substitute Miami Lot Lease (defined below), as applicable) and to perform all of its obligations thereunder in a timely manner.

 

Subject to the terms of the Employee Parking Lot Lease, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that it shall not grant its consent and/or approval to Lot Owner (to the extent such consent and/or approval is required pursuant to the Employee Parking Lot Lease) to the extent any such consent and/or approval would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse affect to the Parking Area (as defined in the Employee Parking Lot Lease) and the operations of the Property without first obtaining Lender’s prior written consent and approval, which consent and/or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Borrower grant its approval and/or consent to any matter relating to the Alternate Parking Spaces (as defined in the Employee Parking Lot Lease) to the extent any such consent and/or approval is required pursuant to the Employee Parking Lot Lease without first obtaining Lender’s prior written approval and consent which approval and consent shall not be unreasonably withheld conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the terms of the Employee Parking Lot Lease, Lender hereby agrees that Lender’s consent to the subordination of the Employee Parking Lot Lease shall not be required provided that the such subordination is conditioned upon the granting of non-disturbance to Borrower and Lender and the form of recognition and non disturbance agreement entered into is in form and substance substantially similar to the form of Recognition and Non Disturbance Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit L.

 

Furthermore, Borrower covenants that at all times during the term of the Loan if Alternate Parking Spaces and/or any parking spaces (a) located on the Miramar Parcel (such parking spaces shall be referred to herein as the “Miramar Spaces”) (b) made available pursuant to the Miami Lease (or the Substitute Miami Lot Lease) and/or (c) made available pursuant to the Regency Lease are no longer available for Mortgage Borrower’s and/or the Property’s use, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to promptly replace such unavailable Alternate Parking Spaces and/or Miramar Spaces and/or spaces available pursuant to the Miami Lease (or the Substitute Miami Lot Lease) and/or Regency Lease, as applicable, pursuant to a written lease acceptable to Lender, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed provided such lease contains (i) market terms, (ii) a term equal to the lesser of (a) the period of time that the applicable spaces are reasonably expected to be unavailable or (b) at least one (1) year, and (iii) is for a comparable number of parking spaces (as those that become unavailable) and such parking spaces are within reasonable and sufficient proximity to the Property so as not to unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Property.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the immediately preceding paragraph which relates to the Miami Lease or the Substitute Miami Lot Lease, Borrower covenants that it shall cause Mortgage Borrower to use its best efforts to cause Regency’s interest in the Miami Lease to be assigned to Borrower within thirty (30) days of the date hereof (such thirty (30) day period, the “Miami Lease Assignment Period”). In the event Regency’s interest in the Miami Lease is not assigned to Borrower upon the expiration of the Miami Lease Assignment Period, Borrower hereby covenants to cause Mortgage Borrower to enter into a substitute written lease within sixty (60) days of the expiration of the Miami Lease Assignment Period acceptable to Lender, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed provided such lease contains (i) market terms and (ii) a term equal to the lesser of (a) the period of time that the applicable spaces are reasonably expected to be unavailable or (b) at least one (1) year and (iii) is for a comparable number of parking spaces (as those that become unavailable) and such parking spaces are within reasonable and sufficient proximity to the Property so as not to unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Property (such substitute lease the “Substitute Miami Lot Lease”).

 

To the extent, if any, that Lender’s prior written approval and/or consent is required pursuant to this Section 5.1.21 such request for approval shall be deemed approved if (i) Lender shall

 

69


have failed to notify Borrower of its approval or disapproval within ten (10) days (the “Approval Period”) following Lender’s receipt of Borrower’s written request together with any and all required material information and documentation relating thereto required by Lender to reach a decision and provided, the request to Lender is marked in bold lettering with the following: “LENDER’S RESPONSE IS REQUIRED WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED AND LENDER” and the envelope containing the request must be marked “PRIORITY”, (ii) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender a written notice of Lender’s failure to respond to Borrower’s request within the Approval Period (the “Failure to Respond Notice”), and (iii) Lender shall have failed to notify Borrower of its approval or disapproval within eight (8) days following Lender’s receipt of the Failure to Respond Notice. Borrower shall be required to provide Lender with such material information and documentation as may be reasonably required by Lender, in its reasonable discretion in order for Lender to determine whether or not to consent to any such request. Should Lender fail to approve any such request, Lender shall give written notice setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such disapproval. Notwithstanding any approval standards of Lender set forth in the Employee Parking Lot Lease which conflict with the standards set forth in this Section 5.1.21, the standards set forth in this Section 5.1.21 shall govern any such approval.

 

5.1.22 Intentionally Omitted

 

5.1.23 The Ground Lease.

 

(a) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to (i) pay all rents, additional rents and other sums required to be paid by Mortgage Borrower, as tenant under and pursuant to the provisions of the Ground Lease, the Miami Lease and the Miramar Parcel Lease (except as otherwise provided in Section 7.4 hereof), (ii) diligently perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Ground Lease on the part of Mortgage Borrower, as tenant thereunder, (iii) promptly notify Lender of the giving of any notice by a landlord under the Ground Lease to Mortgage Borrower of any default by Mortgage Borrower, as tenant thereunder, and deliver to Lender a true copy of each such notice within five (5) Business Days of receipt and (iv) promptly notify Lender upon learning of any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency of a landlord under a Ground Lease or of any notice thereof, and deliver to Lender a true copy of such notice within five (5) Business Days of Mortgage Borrower’s receipt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Monthly Ground Rent Deposit is duly deposited in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Documents and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the then-current obligations of clause (i) above. Borrower shall not and shall cause Mortgage Borrower not to, without the prior consent of Lender, surrender any leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or terminate or cancel the Ground Lease or modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Ground Lease, in any material respect, either orally or in writing, and if a Mortgage Borrower shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the Ground Lease on the part of a Mortgage Borrower, as tenant thereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Ground Lease on the part of Mortgage Borrower to be performed or observed on behalf of Mortgage Borrower, to the end that the rights of Mortgage Borrower in, to and under the Ground Lease shall be kept unimpaired and free from default. If the landlord under the Ground Lease shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice of default under the Ground Lease, 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, unless Lender’s action constitutes gross negligence, fraud, illegal acts or willful misconduct. Borrower shall, and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to, exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of the Ground Lease upon demand by Lender made at any time within six (6) months prior to the last day upon which any such option may be exercised, and Borrower hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact to cause

 

70


Mortgaged Borrower to exercise any such option in the name of and upon behalf of Mortgage Borrower, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest.

 

(b) Subleases. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Ground Lease to the contrary, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower not to further sublet any portion of the Property (other than as otherwise permitted hereunder) without prior written consent of Lender. Each sublease hereafter made shall provide that, (a) in the event of the termination of the Ground Lease, the sublease shall not terminate or be terminable by the sublessee; (b) in the event of any action for the foreclosure of the Security Instrument with respect to the Property, the sublease shall not terminate or be terminable by the subtenant by reason of the termination of the Ground Lease unless the sublessee is specifically named and joined in any such action and unless a judgment is obtained therein against the sublessee; and (c) in the event that the Ground Lease is terminated as aforesaid, the sublessee shall attorn to the lessor under the Ground Lease or to the purchaser at the sale of the Property on such foreclosure, as the case may be. In the event that any portion of the Leasehold Property shall be sublet pursuant to the terms of this subsection, such sublease shall be deemed to be included in the Leasehold Property.

 

5.1.24 Covenants under the Mortgage Loan

 

Borrower has reviewed the covenants, undertakings and obligations of Mortgage Borrower to and for the benefit of Mortgage Lender contained in the Mortgage Loan Documents and Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to perform such covenants, undertakings and obligations and such covenants, undertakings and obligations are incorporated herein by this reference as if fully set forth herein and deemed made by Borrower for the benefit of Lender in connection with the Loan.

 

5.1.25 O&M Program.

 

With respect to the Property, Borrower shall cause the Mortgage Borrower to enter into a contract with a licensed industrial hygienist to develop a fully documented O&M Program which Borrower shall submit within one hundred and eighty (180) days of the date hereof to Lender for its reasonable approval. Borrower further covenants and agrees to cause the Mortgage Borrower to implement and follow in all material respects the terms and conditions of such O&M Program during the term of the Loan, including any extension or renewal thereof. Lender’s requirement that Borrower cause the Mortgage Borrower to develop and comply with the O&M Program shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver or modification of any of Borrower’s covenants and agreements with respect to Hazardous Materials or Environmental Laws.

 

5.1.26 Bankruptcy.

 

Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or similar proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code (or other applicable law) against any Restricted Party or any tenant under any Material Lease.

72


Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit Mortgage Borrower to, initiate, join in, acquiesce in, or consent to any change in any public or private restrictive covenant or easement limiting, conditioning, changing, qualifying or defining the uses which may be made of the Property or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) Borrower further covenants and agrees to deliver to Lender such certifications or other evidence from time to time throughout the term of the Loan, as requested by Lender in its sole discretion, and represents and covenants that (A) neither Borrower nor Mortgage Borrower is or does maintain an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, or a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA; (B) neither Borrower nor Mortgage Borrower is subject to State statutes regulating investments and fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans; (C) one or more of the following circumstances is true: (i) equity interests in such Borrower are publicly offered securities, within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101(b)(2); (ii) less than twenty-five percent (25%) of each outstanding class of equity interests in Borrower are held by “benefit plan investors” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R.§ 2510.3-101(f)(2); or (iii) Borrower qualifies as an “operating company” or a “real estate operating company” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 (c) or (e); and (D) one or more of the following circumstances is true: (i) equity interests in Mortgage Borrower are publicly offered securities, within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101(b)(2); (ii) less than twenty-five percent (25%) of each outstanding class of equity interests in Mortgage Borrower are held by “benefit plan investors” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R.§ 2510.3-101(f)(2); or (iii) Mortgage

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.2.12(a) and (b) hereof, the following transfers shall not be deemed a Transfer, provided that in each case the transferee complies with the provisions of Section 4.1.22 hereof: (i) a transfer by devise or descent or by operation of law upon the death of a member, partner or shareholder of a Restricted Party; (ii) the Sale or Pledge, in one or a series of transactions, of not more than forty-nine percent (49%) of the stock in a Restricted Party; provided, however, no such transfers shall result in the change of voting control in the Restricted Party, and as a condition to each such transfer, Lender shall receive not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of such proposed transfer, (iii) the Sale or Pledge, in one or a series of transactions, of not more than forty-nine percent (49%) of the limited partnership interests or non-managing membership interests (as the case may be) in a Restricted Party; provided, however, as a condition to each such transfer, Lender shall receive not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of such proposed transfer, (iv) transfers, issuances, pledges and redemptions of stock in Wyndham (and its successors), so long as (A) Wyndham (or any such successor) is (or is controlled by) a Public Company and (B) the surviving entity is primarily involved in, or has a significant business line involving, the ownership and operation of real estate similar to the Property, (v) the merger or consolidation of Wyndham (or its successors), provided that the surviving entity of such merger or consolidation is (or is controlled by) (A) a Public Company, and (B) primarily involved in, or has a significant business line involving, the ownership or operation of real estate similar to the Property, (vi) the granting of easements, cross-easements, agreements, restrictions, reservations and rights in the ordinary course of business for use, access, water and sewer lines, telephone and telegraph lines, electric lines or other utilities or for other similar purposes, provided that no such easements, agreements, restrictions or rights shall materially impair the utility and/or operation of the Property or Borrower’s ability to repay the Debt as it becomes due, (vii) transfers of direct or indirect interests in Borrower, Principal or Restricted Party to Affiliates of Wyndham (or its successors) provided that after such transfers Borrower, Principal and Restricted Party are controlled, directly or indirectly, by Wyndham (or its successors), and (viii) pledges of direct and indirect interests in Borrower and Mortgage Borrower to Lender as collateral for the Loan and the exercise by Lender of its remedies under the Loan Documents.

75


that certain Credit Agreement between Wyndham (or its successors) and The Chase Manhattan Bank dated June 30, 1999, as amended or another credit agreement with an Institutional Lender or a public bond offering to prepay or refinance in full or in part any such credit facility which Institutional Lender or bondholders (or the trustee on their behalf), as applicable shall be making or holding a loan to Wyndham or its successor or its Affiliates (other than Borrower or Principal), and (III) such pledges and hypothecations of indirect interests in Borrower are subject and subordinate to Borrower’s pledge of the Collateral as security for the Loan. A foreclosure sale (or transfer in lieu thereof) of any such pledge or hypothecation to The Chase Manhattan Bank, or another Institutional Lender as collateral agent for syndicate lenders or another Institutional Lender, or the bond trustee, shall be permitted provided (1) Lender is given at least sixty (60) days prior written notice of the proposed foreclosure sale or transfer in lieu thereof; (2) the transferee is a reputable entity or person, creditworthy, with sufficient financial worth considering any obligations assumed and undertaken with respect to the Loan, as evidenced by financial statements and other information reasonably requested by Lender; (3) the Property at all times shall continue to be managed by a Qualified Manager, and (4) any and all such entities will comply with all of the requirements set forth in the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents.

In the event of a change of voting control of Wyndham (or its successors) by reason of a transfer under Section 5.2.12(c)(iv) or (v) other than to a Qualified Transferee, Lender’s consent will be required. If Lender does not consent and the proposed transfer is to take place within the Lockout Period, Lender will permit prepayment of the Loan (notwithstanding that the prepayment will occur during Lockout Period) provided that Borrower pays: (i) all accrued interest through the end of the month in which prepayment occurs, (ii) the entire outstanding principal balance, (iii) the full Additional Interest (to the extent not previously paid), and (iv) the Spread Maintenance Payment.

 

(e) Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon a Transfer without Lender’s consent to the extent required hereunder. This provision shall apply to every Transfer regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Lender has consented to any previous Transfer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.2.12, (a) no transfer (whether or not such transfer shall constitute a Transfer) shall be made to any Prohibited Person and (b) in the event any transfer (whether or not such transfer shall constitute a Transfer) results in any Person owning in excess of forty-nine percent (49%) of the ownership interest in a Restricted Party, Borrower shall, prior to such transfer, deliver an updated Insolvency Opinion to Lender, which opinion shall be in form, scope and substance reasonably acceptable in all respects to Lender and the Rating Agencies.

 

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.2.12, Lender’s consent shall not be required for the financing and/or leasing of personal property, including, without limitation, furniture, fixtures and equipment owned or to be purchased by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower that is used in connection with the operation of the Property (“Equipment”), provided Lender has received prior written notification of such Borrower’s intent to finance and/or lease such Equipment, and provided, further, that (i) any such financing and/or leasing is subject to commercially prudent terms and conditions and at a market rate of interest, (ii) the Equipment financed and/or leased is readily replaceable without material interference or interruption to the operation of the Property as required pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Documents, (iii) the annual aggregate payments (including principal and interest) amount of such financing and/or leasing for Equipment located on or used in connection with each Property is at all times less than the amount set forth on Schedule VII attached hereto and made a part hereof for each the Property (“Permitted FF&E Financing”), (iv) the

 

76


documentation for such financing and/or any material leases entered into after the date hereof shall, among other things, provide that Lender shall be given written notice of a default thereunder and Lender shall be provided with a reasonable opportunity to cure such defaults, and (v) the financing and/or leasing does not create a lien on the Property other than the Equipment financed.

(i) comprehensive all risk insurance on the Improvements and the Personal Property, in each case (ii) in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost,” which for purposes of this Agreement shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a waiver of depreciation, but the amount shall in no event be less than the outstanding principal balance of the Note allocable to the Property; (iii) containing an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements and Personal Property waiving all co-insurance provisions; (iv) providing for no deductible in excess of $100,000; and (v) providing coverage for contingent liability from Operation of Building Laws, Demolition Costs and Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements together with an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsement if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time constitute legal nonconforming structures or uses. The Full Replacement Cost shall be redetermined from time to time (but not more frequently than once in any twenty (24) calendar months) at the request of Lender by an appraiser or contractor designated and paid by Borrower and approved by Lender, or by an engineer or appraiser in the regular employ of the insurer. After the first appraisal, additional appraisals may be based on construction cost indices customarily employed in the trade. No omission on the part of Lender to request any such ascertainment shall relieve Borrower of any of its obligations under this Subsection. Notwithstanding clause (iv) of this Section 6.1(a)(i) to the contrary, (1) with respect to comprehensive all risk insurance required by this Section 6.1(a)(i), Borrower shall be permitted to maintain a deductible of no more than $500,000.00 (the “Maximum Deductible”) provided Borrower delivers to Lender a Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the difference between the Maximum Deductible and $100,000.00, which Letter of Credit shall be held by Lender as additional collateral for the Loan and Borrower shall have no right to request that Lender draw on the Letter of Credit, (2) with respect to windstorm coverage, Borrower shall be permitted to maintain a deductible equal to 2% of the coverage provided by the Policy for the Property, and (3) with respect to earthquake coverage Borrower shall be permitted to maintain a deductible equal to $1,000,000.

The amount of such loss of rents insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on the greatest of: (x) Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross revenue from the Property (y) the estimate of gross revenue set forth in the Annual Budget; and (z) the highest gross income received during the term of the Note for any full calendar year prior to the date the amount of such insurance is being determined, for the succeeding twenty-four month period; and (D) containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and the Personal Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of eighteen (18) months from the date that the Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period; and (E) containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and the Personal Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income returns to the same level it was prior to the loss, or the expiration of eighteen (18) months from the date of the loss, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the payment of all sums that are then due and payable under the Note, this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents, Lender shall disburse to Borrower any remaining proceeds from business interruption insurance obtained under this Section 6.1(a)(iii). All insurance proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this Section 6.1(a)(iii) shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations secured hereunder from time to time due and payable hereunder and under Note and of this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its Obligations secured hereunder on the respective dates of payment provided for in this Agreement except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such loss of rents insurance provided, however, any sums not applied by Lender pursuant to this subsection 6.1(a)(iii) shall be returned to Borrower

(viii) earthquake, sinkhole and mine subsidence insurance, if required by Lender in amounts equal to one time (1x) the probable maximum loss of the Property as determined by Lender in its sole discretion and in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, provided that the insurance pursuant to this Section 6.1(a)(viii) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the all risk insurance policy required under Section 6.1(a)(i) hereof;

(xiii) to the extent not covered in clauses (i) through (xii) above, such other insurance as may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender in order to protect the Property and Lender’s interests in the Collateral; and

 

79


(xiv) to the extent not already required by Lender in accordance with the foregoing, such Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to obtain any additional coverage required by Mortgage Lender in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

All insurance provided for in Section 6.1 (a) hereof shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), in such forms and, from time to time after the date hereof, in such amounts as may be reasonably satisfactory to Lender, issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico with a claims paying ability rated “A-” or better by S&P and A3 or better by Moody’s and approved by Lender. The insurance required pursuant to Section 6.1(a) above may be with a syndicate of insurers through which at least (A)(i) 40% of the coverage is provided by carriers having a claims paying ability rating by S&P not lower than AA-, (ii) 85% of the coverage is provided by carriers having a claims paying ability rating by S&P not lower than A- and (iii) 100% of the coverage is provided by carriers having a claims paying ability rating by S&P not lower than BBB- and (B)(i) 60% of the coverage is provided by carriers having a claims paying ability rating by Moody’s not lower than A2 and (ii) 100% of the coverage is provided by carriers having a claims paying ability rating by Moody’s not lower than Baa3 (each such insurer shall be referred to below as a “Qualified Insurer”). For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, when an insurance company is rated only by S&P or only by Moody’s, then only such rating shall be applicable. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender pursuant to Section 6.1(a), Borrower shall deliver certified copies of the Policies or certificates marked “premium paid” or accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), provided, however, that in the case of renewal Policies, Borrower may furnish Lender with binders therefor to be followed by certificates of insurance. If Borrower’s insurers or reinsurance carriers fail to provide or maintain such ratings, Borrower may satisfy the ratings requirement of this Section by providing to Lender a “cut-through” endorsement in form and substance approved by Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, issued by an insurer with at least an “A+” rating by S&P.

 

(b) Except to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.1(a) hereof, Borrower shall not obtain any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy, unless such Policy shall specifically allocate to each Property the amount of coverage required thereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the terms of Section 6.1(a) hereof.

 

(c) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a) hereof,, except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(v), shall name Mortgage Borrower as the insured and Borrower, Lender and Mortgage Lender as additional insured, as their respective interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, and flood insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.

 

(d) All Policies provided for in Section 6.1(a) hereof, shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

 

(i) no act or negligence of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or anyone acting for Borrower or Mortgage Borrower, or of any tenant under any Lease or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

 

80


(ii) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or cancelled without at least 30 days’ written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured; and

 

(iii) each Policy shall provide that the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policy has not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration; and

 

(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

 

(e) Upon written request by Lender, Borrower shall furnish to Lender, on or before thirty (30) days after the close of each of Borrower’s fiscal years, an Officer’s Certificate certifying of the amounts of insurance maintained in compliance herewith, of the risks covered by such insurance and of the insurance company or companies which carry such insurance and, if requested by Lender, verification of the adequacy of such insurance by an independent insurance broker or appraiser acceptable to Lender.

 

(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property and the Collateral, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate after five (5) Business Days’ written notice to Borrower if prior to the date upon which any such coverage will lapse or at any time Lender deems necessary (regardless of prior written notice to Borrower) to avoid a lapse of such coverage. All expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Security Instruments and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

 

(g) In the event of a foreclosure of any of the Security Instruments, or other transfer of title to any Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower and/or Mortgage Borrower in and to such policies then in force concerning the Property (unless such policies are blanket policies insuring real property in addition to the Property) and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure, Mortgage Lender or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title and such party shall notify the insurer thereof.

 

Section 6.2 Casualty

 

If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall cause prompt notice of such damage to be given to Lender and Borrower shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to, promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Property in accordance with Section 6.4. Borrower shall pay, or cause Mortgage Borrower to pay, all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made timely (in accordance with industry standards) by Borrower. The rights of Lender under this Section are subject and subordinate to the rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

Section 6.3 Condemnation

 

Borrower shall cause prompt notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of all or any part of the Property to be given to Lender and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and such Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Such Borrower shall, at its expense, and shall cause Mortgage

 

81


Borrower to, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such takings), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of costs of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall, and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to, promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any other provision herein to the contrary, Borrower’s obligation to commence and pursue Restoration of the Property shall not be deemed to obligate Borrower to acquire any additional land to substitute for any portion of the Property which may be taken by Condemnation. The rights of Lender under this Section are subject and subordinate to the rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

Section 6.4 Restoration

 

Subject to the rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents and the provisions thereunder for Restoration, the following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:

 

(a) The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 6.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received pursuant to Section 6.1 (a)(i), (iv), (vi), (vii) and (viii) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be, plus (in the case of (i) and (ii) above) any interest or other income earned on the investment of the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(b) All Net Proceeds not required or permitted by Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents to be made available for the Restoration, or not required or permitted by Mortgage Lender to be paid to Mortgage Lender, shall be paid to, and applied by, Lender toward the payment of either (or both) (1) any then outstanding portion of the Debt or (2) the principal balance of the Debt whether or not then due and payable, in either case in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its discretion. If Lender shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the Lien of the Security Instruments shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Lender and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt. The rights of Lender to Net Proceeds in respect of the Property are subject and subordinate to the rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

(c) Each of Borrower and Mortgage Borrower shall deliver to Lender copies of all written correspondence delivered to and received from Mortgage Lender that relate to a Casualty, Condemnation and/or Restoration of the Property.

If the Required Repairs are not completed on or before the required deadline for each repair, subject to such extensions as required due to Force Majeure, Borrower shall deposit with Lender, immediately upon request by Lender, to the extent not already deposited with Mortgage Lender, an amount for the Property equal to 125% of the cost of any remaining or incomplete Required Repair for the Property (collectively, the “Required Deposit”). Amounts so deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Required Repair Fund”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of depositing the Required Deposit, Borrower shall have the option of delivering to Lender a Letter of Credit in the amount of the Required Deposit. It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if (a) Borrower or Mortgage Borrower does not complete the Required Repairs at the Property by the required deadline for each repair as set forth on such Schedule III, subject to such extensions as required due to Force Majeure or (b) Borrower does not satisfy each condition contained in Section 7.1.2 hereof in all material respects. Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender, at its option and subject to the rights of Mortgage Lender, may withdraw all Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account and Lender may apply such funds either to completion of the Required Repairs at the Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply Required Repair Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of depositing the Required Repair Deposit in the Required Repair Fund, Borrower shall have the option of delivering to Lender a Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the Required Repair Deposit. Lender’s rights hereunder shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower shall notify Lender of any request for disbursement from the repair funds under the Mortgage Loan Documents simultaneously with such disbursement request. All rights of Lender hereunder shall be subject to the rights of Mortgage Lender under Mortgage Loan Documents. If, and for so long as, Borrower or Mortgage Borrower has deposited funds in the Required Repair Fund under and in satisfaction of the requirements of the Mortgage Loan Documents, and Mortgage Lender has applied such funds to pay for the completion of the Required Repairs, as and when due from time to time, Borrower’s obligation to fund the Required Repair Fund hereunder shall be deemed satisfied. If at any time, for any reason or no reason, Mortgage Lender waives the requirements set forth in the Mortgage Loan Documents with respect to the Required Repair Fund, or the Mortgage Loan is satisfied, Borrower shall immediately be obligated to establish and maintain a Required Repair Fund as provided in this Section for the benefit of Lender.

 

7.1.2 Release of Required Repair Funds.

 

Provided Borrower has deposited funds in the Required Repair Account, Lender shall disburse to Borrower the Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account from time to time upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (a) Borrower shall submit a written request for payment to Lender at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made and specifies the Required Repairs to be paid, (b) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, (c) Lender shall have received an Officer’s Certificate (i) stating that all Required Repairs at the

 

83


applicable Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in good and workmanlike manner (or any materials to be reimbursed by the requested disbursement are on site at the Property or in a bonded warehouse reasonably acceptable to Lender and are properly secured or have been installed in the Property) and in accordance with all Legal Requirements and Environmental Laws, such certificate to be accompanied by a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required to commence and/or complete such Required Repairs, (ii) identifying each Person that supplied materials, labor or other services, including, without limitation, design, construction management and project supervision, in connection with the Required Repairs performed at the Property with respect to the reimbursement to be funded by the requested disbursement, and (iii) stating that each such Person has been paid in full all sums then due upon such disbursement, such Officer’s Certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers from each Person receiving $50,000 or more in payment or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender, (d) at Lender’s option, a title search for the Property indicating that the Property is free from all Liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender, and (e) Lender shall have received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Required Repairs at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement (or any materials to be reimbursed by the requested disbursement are on site at the Property or in a bonded warehouse reasonably acceptable to Lender and are properly secured or have been installed in the Property) have been completed and are paid for upon such disbursement to Borrower. Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Required Repair Account with respect to any Property unless such requested disbursement is in an amount greater than $25,000 (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the Required Repair Account is less than $25,000, in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made). Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any funds remaining in the Required Repairs Account after completion of all Required Repairs and the delivery of evidence thereof in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement will be disbursed to Borrower. In the event Borrower delivers a Letter of Credit to Lender in lieu of depositing cash into the Required Repair Account, provided Borrower delivers evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that the applicable Required Repairs are completed in a good and workmanlike manner and such Required Repairs have been paid for in full, Borrower shall be permitted to deliver a replacement Letter of Credit to Lender in an amount equal to 125% of the then remaining outstanding Required Repairs. Anything in this subsection 7.1.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, the rights and obligations hereunder shall be applicable only if, as and when the Required Repair Fund is being maintained for Lender’s benefit.

 

Section 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund

 

7.2.1 Deposits to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund

 

Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes (the “Monthly Tax Deposit”) that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (b) one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums (the “Monthly Insurance Premium Deposit”) that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies, with respect to, and allocable to the Property upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”). The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note and this Agreement, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 and 6.1 hereof. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer

 

84


or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax Lien or title or claim thereof, provided, however, Borrower shall have the right to contest the same in good faith and in accordance with the terms hereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 and 6.1 hereof, Lender shall return any excess to Borrower. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owners of the Property. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of making the Monthly Insurance Premium Deposit, Borrower shall have the option of (i) delivering to Lender a Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the estimated annual Insurance Premium, as the same is calculated each year during the term of the Loan or (ii) providing evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the liability or casualty Policy maintained) by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower covering the Property shall constitute an approved blanket or umbrella Policy pursuant to terms hereof along with evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that the Insurance Premiums for such approved blanket Policy or umbrella Policy for the immediately succeeding year has been paid in full. Amounts deposited with Lender in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account and all earnings and interest on such amounts shall be added to and become part of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. All rights of Lender hereunder shall be subject to the rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents. If, and for so long as, Borrower or Mortgage Borrower have deposited funds in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund in satisfaction of the requirements of the Mortgage Loan Documents, and Mortgage Lender has applied such funds in timely payment of the Taxes and Insurance Obligations, Borrower’s obligation to fund the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund hereunder shall be deemed satisfied.

 

7.2.2 Withdrawals From the Tax Account and the Insurance Premium Account.

 

Lender shall withdraw funds from the Tax Account to pay Taxes on or before the date Taxes are due and payable. Lender shall have the right to withdraw funds from the Insurance Premium Account to pay Insurance Premiums on or before the date Insurance Premiums are due and payable. Anything in this Section 7.2.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, the rights and obligations hereunder shall be applicable only if, as and when the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is being maintained for Lender’s benefit.

 

Section 7.3 Replacements and Replacement Reserve.

 

7.3.1 Replacement Reserve Fund

 

With respect to the Property, on the Closing Date, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to deposit $3,200,000.00. In addition to the foregoing, in the event that the budgeted amount for Replacements at the casino (based upon the Casino Budget) for a five (5) year period commencing on the Closing Date (such amount the “Budgeted Casino Replacements”) exceeds $4,600,000.00 (excluding any Excess (defined below) carried forward from prior years), Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to, within five (5) days of delivery of the Casino Budget, deposit with Lender an additional amount equal to the difference between the Budgeted Casino Replacements and $4,600,000.00. Borrower shall cause to be deposited the Replacement Reserve Deposit on each Payment Date during the term of the Loan for replacements and repairs to be made to the Property (collectively the “Replacements”). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Replacement Reserve Fund” and the account in which

 

85


such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Replacement Reserve Account”. Borrower covenants and agrees to cause Lender to be provided evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender, within thirty (30) days after the start of each calendar month, of the Actual Amount for the Property for the immediately preceding calendar month period. (For example, with respect to the Replacement Reserve Deposit payable on the Payment Date in June, Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of the Actual Amount for the month of April (the Subject Month) by May 30). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of depositing the Replacement Reserve Deposit, Borrower may cause to be delivered to Lender one (1) or more Letters of Credit each in the amount of the required Replacement Reserve Deposit. In the event the Actual Amount spent by Mortgage Borrower for Replacements to the Property in any given Subject Month exceeds the product of (a) the applicable Gross Income From Operations for the Property in such Subject Month and (b) the FF&E Factor (such amount, the “Excess”), Borrower or Mortgage Borrower may request payment or reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account (or may request a reduction in the amount of any Letter of Credit delivered to Lender in lieu of a cash deposit to the Replacement Reserve Account) for the Excess, up to the amount of funds or Letters of Credit on deposit in the Replacement Reserve Account, in accordance with Section 7.3.2 provided, however, at no time shall Borrower or Mortgage Borrower be entitled to receive funds (or reduce Letters of Credit) in excess of the Actual Amount for the applicable Subject Month. To the extent the Replacement Reserve Account has no funds or Letters of Credit on deposit or is less than the amount of the Excess, Borrower and Mortgage Borrower will be permitted to carry forward the amount of the Excess that was not paid or reimbursed from the Replacement Reserve Account (such amount, the “Shortfall”) as a reduction in subsequent month(s) calculation of the Replacement Reserve Deposit for the Property until the Shortfall has been exhausted. In other words, Borrower or Mortgage Borrower shall be reimbursed for its Replacement expenditures to the Property first by reduction of the current month’s Replacement Reserve Deposit, second from any funds (and by reductions in the amount of Letters of Credit delivered to Lender in lieu of cash deposits) on deposit in the Replacement Reserve Account (using first the funds and then reductions in the Letters of Credit), and third as an ongoing credit toward future months’ required Replacement Reserve Deposits until Mortgage Borrower or Borrower has been fully reimbursed for all expenditures for Replacements from the beginning of the first Subject Month to date. All rights of Lender hereunder shall be subject to the rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents. If, and for so long as, Borrower or Mortgage Borrower have deposited funds in the Replacement Reserve Fund under and in satisfaction of the requirements of Mortgage Loan Documents, and Mortgage Lender has applied such funds for Replacements as and when due from time to time, Borrower’s obligation to fund the Replacement Reserve Fund hereunder shall be deemed satisfied. If at any time, for any reason or no reason, Mortgage Lender waives the requirements set forth in the Mortgage Loan Documents with respect to the Replacement Reserve Fund, or the Mortgage Loan is satisfied, Borrower shall immediately be obligated to establish and maintain a Replacement Reserve Fund as provided in this Section for the benefit of Lender.

 

7.3.2 Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account

 

(a) Provided that (i) the Replacement Reserve contains funds or a Letter of Credit and (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account (or reduce the amount of Letters of Credit delivered to Lender in lieu of cash deposits to the Replacement Reserve Account) to pay or reimburse Borrower only for the costs of the Replacements made to the Property (with any funds on deposit being utilized prior to the reduction of any Letters of Credit). Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay or reimburse Mortgage Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to the Property, for replacement of inventory or for costs which are to be reimbursed from the Required Repairs Fund or are in excess of the funds deposited in the Replacement Reserve Account allocable to the Property.

 

86


(b) Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower within fifteen (15) Business Days of request amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay or reimburse Borrower for the actual approved costs and Replacements upon completion of such Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of Replacements made pursuant to Section 7.3.2(e)) as reasonably determined by Lender. In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account if a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

(c) Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be in a form reasonably specified or approved by Lender and shall specify (i) the specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested, (ii) the quantity and price of each item purchased or to be purchased, if the Replacement includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (iii) the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Replacement other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, and (iv) the cost of all contracted labor or other services (including, without limitation, design, construction management and project supervision) applicable to each Replacement for which the disbursement is requested. With each request Borrower shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate certifying that all Replacements subject to prior requests, have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Property to which the Replacements are being provided. Each request for disbursement shall include copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased or to be purchased and all contracted labor or services provided or to be provided and each request shall include waivers of lien and evidence of payment from each contractor, as applicable, previously receiving payment out of any prior such request provided, however, lien waivers shall only be required if the payments to such contractor is equal to or exceeds $50,000.00. Except as provided in Section 7.3.2(e), each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be made only after completion of the Replacement for which disbursement is requested. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of completion or partial completion, as applicable, satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment.

 

(d) Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Replacements with respect to each request for disbursement (i) prior to submitting such request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account, (ii) with the funds received from the applicable disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account or, (iii) at the request of Borrower, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to Borrower and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due in connection with a Replacement. In the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment equal to or in excess of $50,000.00 prior to Lender’s disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than $50,000 for completion of its work or delivery of its materials. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current payment or reimbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request).

 

(e) If (i) the cost of a Replacement exceeds $50,000, and (ii) the contractor performing such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract, a request for payment or reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the Property and are properly

 

87


secured or have been installed in the Property (or if stored at a place other than the Property, are secured in a manner reasonably acceptable to Lender), (C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (D) funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account together with other funds or assurances reasonably satisfactory to Lender deposited with Lender and available for such Replacements are, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when required, and (E) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments equal to or in excess of $50,000 under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor.

 

(f) Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with the final disbursement) the total cost of all Replacements in any request shall not be less than $25,000.00.

 

(g) Anything in this subsection 7.3.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, the rights and obligations hereunder shall be applicable only if, as and when the Replacement Reserve Fund is being maintained for Lender’s benefit.

 

7.3.3 Performance of Replacements

 

(a) Borrower shall cause Replacements to be made when required in order to keep the Property in condition and repair consistent with comparable hotels in the same market segment in the metropolitan area in which the Property is located, and to keep the Property or any portion thereof from deteriorating. Borrower shall cause to completed all Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of making each such Replacement. Borrower shall notify Lender of any request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Fund under the Mortgage Loan Documents simultaneously with such disbursement request.

 

(b) In connection with Replacements for which payments or reimbursements are requested from the Replacement Reserve Account, Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve each contract or work order with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials in connection with the Replacements in the event amounts payable under such contract or work order exceed $250,000.00, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign such contract or subcontract to Lender.

 

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account for any unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement, without providing any prior notice to Borrower and to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.

 

(d) In order to facilitate Lender’s completion or making of the Replacements upon a default which continues after the expiration of all applicable cure periods (during which period Borrower has not cured such default) under the Mortgage Loan Documents, Borrower grants Lender, and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to grant Lender, the right to enter onto the Property upon prior written notice to Borrower and subject to the rights of tenants and hotel guests and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make the Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect the Property from damage. All sums so expended by Lender shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Security Instruments. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the Replacements in the name of Borrower and as owner of beneficial interests in Mortgage Borrower. Such

 

88


power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked, provided, however, Lender shall not exercise such power of attorney until the earlier of (i) the occurrence and continuance of a default which continues after the expiration of all applicable cure periods (during which period Borrower has not cured such default) under the Mortgage Loan Documents, or (ii) ten (10) days after Lender notifies Borrower of its intention to exercise such power of attorney. Borrower empowers said attorney-in-fact as follows: (i) to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve Account for the purpose of making or completing the Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to the Replacements as shall be reasonably necessary or desirable to complete the Replacements; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be reasonably required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against the Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the Replacements, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower for itself or as owner of beneficial interest in Mortgage Borrower, which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Property or the rehabilitation and repair of the Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf, itself and/or as owner of beneficial interests in the Mortgage Borrower to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.

 

(e) Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing the Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Replacement Reserve Fund to make or complete any Replacement; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with the Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Replacement.

 

(f) Borrower shall permit, and cause to be permitted, Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties making Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 to enter onto the Property during normal business hours and upon prior written notice (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases and hotel patrons) to inspect the progress of any Replacements and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Replacements which are or may be kept at the Property, and to complete any Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3. Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.3.3(f) or the completion of Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.

 

(g) Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in excess of $250,000 for the Property from the Replacement Reserve Account in order to verify completion of the Replacements for which payment or reimbursement is sought unless Mortgage Lender has verified such completion and Borrower has provided Lender with evidence of such verification. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.

 

(h) The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic’s, materialmen’s or other Liens (except for Permitted Encumbrances).

 

(i) Before each disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account in excess of $250,000.00 for the Property, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic’s or materialmen’s Liens

 

89


or other Liens of any nature (other than Liens being contested in good faith in accordance with the terms hereof) have been placed against the Property since the date of recordation of the mortgage and that title to the Property is free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Encumbrances), unless such search has been performed by Mortgage Lender and Borrower has provided Lender with such search evidencing compliance with this provision.

 

(j) All Replacements shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the Property and applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.

 

(k) In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with a particular Replacement to the extent not already provided by Borrower’s existing insurance coverage. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed. Certified copies of such policies shall be delivered to Lender.

 

(l) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to commence the Replacements at the casino costing approximately $3,200,000.00 which have been budgeted for in the Casino Budget and Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to cause such Replacements to be substantially underway prior to the initial Maturity Date.

 

7.3.4 Failure to Make Replacements.

 

(a) It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Section 7.3 and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice from Lender. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of such an Event of Default, Lender may use the Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to completion of the Replacements as provided in Sections 7.3.3(c) and (d), or for any other repair or replacement to any Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply the Replacement Reserve Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of Default to payment of the Debt or in any specific order or priority.

 

7.3.5 Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account.

 

The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.

 

Section 7.4 Ground Lease Escrow Fund.

 

Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date an amount (the “Monthly Ground Rent Deposit”) equal to one-twelfth of the annual amount that is estimated by Lender to be due and payable by the Mortgage Borrower under the Ground Lease, the Miami Lease and the Miramar Parcel Lease for all rent and any and all other charges (collectively, the “Ground Rent”) which may be due by Mortgage

 

90


Borrower under the Ground Lease, the Miami Lease and the Miramar Parcel Lease in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all sums payable under the Ground Lease, the Miami Lease and the Miramar Parcel Lease at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the dates due (said amounts, hereinafter called the “Ground Lease Escrow Fund’). The Ground Lease Escrow Fund is for the purpose of paying all sums due under the Ground Lease, the Miami Lease and the Miramar Parcel Lease. Provided Borrower is making Monthly Ground Rent Deposits and there are sufficient sums in the Ground Lease Escrow Fund or, if there are insufficient sums in the Ground Lease Escrow Fund, Borrower simultaneously pays any such deficiency to the ground lessor under the Ground Lease, the Miami Lease and the Miramar Parcel Lease, as applicable, Lender will apply any amounts held in the Ground Lease Escrow Fund to the payment of Ground Rent or other charges required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.23 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of depositing the Monthly Ground Rent Deposit, Borrower shall have the option of delivering to Lender a Letter of Credit equal to the annual Ground Rent due under each of the Ground Lease, the Miami Lease and the Miramar Parcel Lease, as calculated each year during the term of the Loan. Such deposit may be increased by Lender in the amount Lender deems is necessary in its reasonable discretion based on any increases in the rent due under the Ground Lease, the Miami Lease and the Miramar Parcel Lease. Borrower shall not be permitted to request a draw under the Letter of Credit. Anything in this Section 7.4 to the contrary notwithstanding, the rights and obligations hereunder shall be applicable only if, as and when the Ground Lease Escrow Fund is being maintained for Lender’s benefit.

 

Section 7.5 Intentionally Omitted.

 

Section 7.6 Debt Service Reserve.

 

7.6.1 Debt Service Reserve Deposit.

 

On the Closing Date, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to deposit with or at the direction of Mortgage Lender an amount equal to the Debt Service Reserve Deposit. Amounts so deposited shall be referred to as the “Debt Service Reserve”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of depositing the Debt Service Reserve Deposit with Lender, Mortgage Borrower shall have the option of delivery to Lender a Letter of Credit equal to the Debt Service Reserve Deposit.

 

7.6.2 Release of Debt Service Reserve.

 

Amounts on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve shall be released and applied in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.

 

Section 7.7 Intentionally Omitted.

 

  VIII.  DEFAULTS

 

Section 8.1 Event of Default

 

(a) Each of the following events shall constitute an event of default hereunder (an “Event of Default”):

Section 8.2 Remedies

 

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance 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 this Agreement or any of the other 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 Debt 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 all or any Collateral. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Collateral and each of the Security Instruments has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.

 

(b) With respect to Borrower, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other portion of the Collateral, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose or realize upon the Security Instruments in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Security Instruments then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose or realize one or more of the Security Instruments to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose or realize upon one or more of the Security Instruments to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by one or more of the Security Instruments as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Security Instruments to secure payment of sums secured by the Security Instruments and not previously recovered.

 

Section 8.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers

 

The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against any Borrower, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, 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,

 

96


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 or more Defaults or Events of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

 

  IX. SPECIAL PROVISIONS

 

Section 9.1 Sale of Notes and Securitization.

 

Lender may, at any time, sell, transfer, pledge or assign the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or grant participations therein or issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other securities (the “Securities”) evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement (a “Securitization”). At the request of the holder of the Note and, to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall, at Borrower’s expense (subject to the limitations set forth below), use reasonable efforts to satisfy the market standards to which the holder of the Note customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with a Securitization or the sale of the Note or the participations or Securities, including, without limitation, to:

 

  (a) (i) provide such financial and other information with respect to the Property, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower and Manager, (ii) provide budgets relating to the Property and (iii) to perform or permit or cause to be performed or permitted, at Lender’s expense, such site inspection, appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews and reports (Phase I’s and, if appropriate, Phase II’s), engineering reports and other due diligence investigations of the Property, due diligence with respect to the Collateral as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the Securitization (the “Provided Information”), provided, however Phase II reports and other invasive testing may not be performed at the Property unless Borrower has received evidence of insurance for any Person performing such testing, together, if customary, with appropriate verification and/or consents of the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;

 

  (b) if required by the Rating Agencies, deliver (i) revised and/or updated opinions of counsel as to non-consolidation, due execution and enforceability with respect to the Property, Collateral, Mortgage Borrower, Borrower, Guarantor, Indemnitor, Principals and their respective Affiliates and the Loan Documents, and (ii) revised organizational documents as they relate to the single purpose bankruptcy remoteness of Mortgage Borrower, Borrower and/or Principals, (provided, however, no such revisions to any Mortgage Borrower’s, Borrower’s or Principal’s organizational documents shall have a material adverse effect on such Mortgage Borrower, Borrower and/or Principal, as applicable) which counsel, opinions and organizational documents shall be satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;

 

  (c)

if required by the Rating Agencies, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such additional tenant estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements from parties to agreements that affect the Property, which estoppel

 

97


 

letters, subordination agreements or other agreements shall be satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies.

 

  (d) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and organizational documents, as may be requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or otherwise to effect the Securitization; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any organizational document or Loan Document if such modification or amendment would (except for modifications and amendments required to be made pursuant to Section (e) below,) (i) change the interest rate, the stated maturity or the amortization of principal set forth in the Note, or (ii) modify or amend any other material economic or material non-economic term of the organizational documents or Loan Documents.

 

  (e) if Lender elects, in its sole discretion, prior to or upon a Securitization, to split the Loan into two or more parts, or the Note into multiple component notes or tranches which may have different interest rates, amortization payments, principal amounts and maturities, Borrower agrees to cooperate with Lender in connection with the foregoing and to execute the required modifications and amendments to the Note, this Agreement and the Loan Documents and to provide opinions necessary to effectuate the same; provided, however Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan Documents if (i) (i) the initial weighted average interest rate of such split notes would be greater than the Applicable Interest Rate immediately preceding such loan split or (ii) such modification or amendment would change the Maturity Date or Monthly Scheduled Amortization payment or (iii) the aggregate scheduled amortization payments exceed the Monthly Scheduled Amortization Payments, provided, that, notwithstanding the provisions below, Borrower shall not be responsible for the payment of any title insurance premiums required by Lender in connection with the foregoing, but Borrower shall be responsible for all other cost and expenses (subject to the limitations set forth below) in complying with this Section 9.1(e).

 

  (f) execute modifications to the Loan Documents changing the interest rate and/or the amortization payments for the Loan and the Mortgage Loan, provided that the initial weighted average of the interest rate spreads for the Loan and the Mortgage Loan after such modification shall not exceed the weighted average of the interest rate spreads for the Loan and the Mortgage Loan immediately prior to such modification and the scheduled amortization payments after such modification will not exceed the Monthly Scheduled Amortization Payments, if any, due under the Loan Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Agreement immediately prior to such modification. Borrower shall also provide opinions and title insurance reasonably necessary to effectuate the same;

 

  (g) make such representations and warranties as of the closing date of the Securitization with respect to the Property, Collateral, Mortgage Borrower, Borrower, and the Loan Documents as are customarily provided in securitization transactions and as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies and consistent with the facts covered by such representations and warranties as they exist on the date thereof, including the representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents; and

 

98


  (h) supply to Lender such documentation, financial statements and reports in form and substance required for Lender to comply with Regulation S-X of the federal securities law, if and to the extent applicable to the Securitization.

 

Borrower shall not incur any costs in complying with this Section 9.1 except for fees of legal counsel employed by Borrower, Principals, Wyndham and/or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing in connection with any modifications to the Loan Documents or review of opinions, documents, agreements or similar items which are delivered by Borrower, Principals, Wyndham and/or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing in complying with the provisions of this Section 9.1. The limitation on costs and expenses set forth in the foregoing sentence shall in no way affect Borrower’s obligations to comply with this Section 9.1.

(b) Borrower agrees to provide in connection with each of (i) a preliminary and a final private placement memorandum or offering circular or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable (collectively, the “Offering Materials”), an indemnification certificate (A) certifying that Borrower has carefully examined such memorandum or prospectus, as applicable, including without limitation, the sections entitled “Special Considerations,” “Description of the Mortgages,” “Description of the Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Property,” “The Collateral,” “The Manager,” “The Mortgage Borrower,” “The Borrower” and “Certain Legal Aspects of the Mezzanine Loan,” and such sections (and any other sections reasonably requested to the extent the same relate to the Loan, the Loan Documents, Mortgage Borrower, Borrower, Guarantor, Indemnitor, Principals or an Affiliate of any of the foregoing) do not (and with respect to any portion of the Offering Materials prepared in reliance on the reports of third-parties, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, do not) contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B) indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 9.2, Lender hereunder shall include its officers and directors), the Affiliate of Lehman Brothers Inc. (“Lehman”) that has filed the registration statement, if any, relating to the securitization (the “Registration Statement”), each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each Person who controls the Affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Lehman Group”), and Lehman, each of its directors and each Person who controls Lehman within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which Lender, the Lehman Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such sections (other than such statement or misstatement made in Borrower’s good faith reliance upon the reports of third parties that do not to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, contain any untrue statement or

 

99


misstatement or a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading) or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such sections or necessary in order to make the statements in such sections or in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse Lender, the Lehman Group and the Underwriter Group for any legal or other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by Lender and Lehman in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent that any such loss claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the memorandum or prospectus or in connection with the underwriting of the debt, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower and Mortgage Borrower, operating statements, rent rolls, environmental site assessment reports and property condition reports with respect to the Property and valuations of Collateral but excluding any projections made in good faith by Borrower; and provided that this Section 9.2 shall not apply to any loss, claim, damage or liability to the extent arising out of any untrue statement, misstatement or omission or alleged untrue statement, misstatement or omission made in reliance upon and in connection with written information furnished to Borrower by Lender, any member of the Lehman Group or any member of the Underwriter Group expressly for use in the Offering Materials unless Borrower, Principals or Indemnitor fails to correct any such untrue statement, misstatement or omission with respect to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Principals or Indemnitor that is known to Borrower, Principals or Indemnitor or that, with the exercise of customary reasonable efforts, should be known to Borrower, Principals or Indemnitor. The foregoing indemnity with respect to any untrue statement or misstatement contained in, or omission from, preliminary Offering Materials shall not inure to the benefit of any member of the Lehman Group or the Underwriting Group (or any person controlling such Lehman Group or Underwriting Group) from whom the Person asserting any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense purchased any of the securities which are the subject thereof if Borrower shall sustain the burden of proving that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense resulted from the fact that such Person was not provided with a copy of the final Offering Materials at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such securities to such Person and the loss, liability, claim, damage or expense resulted from an untrue statement or misstatement contained in, or omission from, the preliminary Offering Materials that was corrected in the final Offering Materials. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification provided for in Clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective whether or not an indemnification certificate described in (A) above is provided and shall be applicable based on information previously provided by Borrower or its Affiliates if Borrower does not provide the indemnification certificate.

 

(c) In connection with filings under the Exchange Act, Borrower agrees to indemnify (i) Lender, the Lehman Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, the Lehman Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Provided Information a material fact required to be stated in the Provided Information in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading (other than any such statement, misstatement or omission made in reliance upon the reports of third parties that do not, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, contain any untrue statement or misstatement, of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading) and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Lehman Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Lehman Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities. The foregoing indemnity shall not apply with respect to any Liabilities that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement, misstatement or omission or any alleged untrue statement, misstatement or omission to state in the Provided Information a

 

100


material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading, if such untrue statement, misstatement or omission or alleged untrue statement, misstatement or omission related to statements of information that do not accurately reflect Provided Information or any corrections or updates to Provided Information which were provided prior to the delivery of the final Offering Materials to investors and none of Borrower, Principals or Indemnitor has been given reasonable opportunity to review the proposed filing under the Exchange Act and to correct such untrue statement, misstatement or omission. In no event shall the indemnification, contribution or reimbursement obligations of Borrower under this Section 9.2 apply to any filings made under the Exchange Act after the initial filings, if any, are made.

 

(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9.2, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 9.2 the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified patty in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party to parties. The Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by Borrower in writing; or (ii) in such claims or action there is, in the reasonable opinion of independent counsel, a conflict concerning any material issue between the position of Borrower and such Indemnified Person, in which case if such Indemnified Person notifies Borrower in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of Borrower, then such counsel shall have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Person; provided, however, that unless, in the reasonable opinion of independent counsel, an actual or potential conflict exists between two or more Indemnified Persons, Borrower shall not be required to pay the fees and disbursements of more than one separate counsel for all Indemnified Persons. Nothing set forth herein is intended to or shall impair the right of any Indemnified Person to retain separate counsel at its own expense.

 

(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreements provided for in Section 9.2(b) or (c) is or are for any reason held to be unenforceable by an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.2(b) or (c), the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following

 

101


factors shall be considered: (i) Lehman’s and Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.

 

(f) The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

 

Section 9.3 Servicer.

 

At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the “Servicer’) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrower shall not be responsible for the payment of the monthly primary servicing fee in connection with the Loan; however, Borrower shall be responsible in accordance with Section 10.13 hereof and the other applicable provisions of this Agreement for other reasonable and customary fees and charges incurred by the Servicer in administering the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

Section 9.4 Exculpation

 

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instruments, or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding against Borrower wherein a money judgment shall be sought, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, action for specific performance or other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest in the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instruments, the other Loan Documents, and the Collateral and any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instruments or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interests in the Collateral and in any other collateral given to Lender. In no event shall any Related Party have any personal liability for the payment of the indebtedness or any other sums due hereunder, under the Note, the Security Instruments or the other Loan Documents, or for the performance or observance of any other obligation of Borrower other than pursuant to a written instrument executed by such Related Party specifically providing for such liability. Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instruments, agrees that it shall not, except as otherwise provided herein, sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower and/or any Related Party in any such action or proceeding, under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Security Instruments. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (i) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by the Note, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Security Instruments; (ii) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower(s) as party defendant(s) in any action or suit for judicial foreclosure and sale or other remedy under the Security Instruments; (iii) affect the validity or enforceability of any indemnity (including, without limitation, the Environmental Indemnity), guaranty (including, without limitation, the Guaranty), master lease or similar instrument made in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instruments or the other Loan Documents, (iv) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (v) impair the enforcement of the Security Instruments; (vi) impair the right of Lender to enforce the provisions of Sections 4.1.8, 4.1.16(o), 4.1.26, 4.1.28, 5.1.9, 5.1.19 and 5.2.8 of this Agreement; or (vii) impair the right of Lender to obtain a deficiency judgment or other judgment on the Note against Borrower if necessary to preserve or enforce its rights and remedies against any Collateral and/or

 

102


Insurance Proceeds or Awards to which Lender would otherwise be entitled under the Loan Documents; provided, however, Lender shall only enforce such judgment against such Collateral and/or to the extent of the Insurance Proceeds or Awards actually obtained by Borrower, as the case may be.

 

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.4 to the contrary, Borrower shall be personally liable to Lender for the direct, actual Losses it incurs due to: (i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or any Related Party in connection with the execution and the delivery of the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instruments or the other Loan Documents; (ii) any intentional misapplication or misappropriation by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower of Rents received by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower after the occurrence of an Event of Default; (iii) any intentional misapplication or misappropriation by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower of tenant security deposits or Rents collected more than one month in advance; (iv) the intentional misapplication or the misappropriation by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower of Insurance Proceeds or Awards; (v) any failure to pay Taxes, Other Charges or Ground Rent, charges for labor or materials or other charges by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower that can create Liens on any of the Collateral or one or more of the Property (except to the extent that sums sufficient to pay such amounts have been deposited in the Lockbox Account or are otherwise in escrow with Lender or Mortgage Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Agreement) but only to the extent that the Net Operating Income from the Property available to Borrower was sufficient to permit Borrower to pay the same when due; (vi) any failure by Borrower to return or to reimburse Lender for all Personal Property taken from the Property by or on behalf of Borrower after the occurrence of an Event of Default and in violation of the terms of this Agreement and the Security Instruments and not replaced with Personal Property of the same utility and of the same or greater value; (vii) any act of actual intentional waste or arson by Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, any Principal, Affiliate or general partner thereof or by any Indemnitor or Guarantor which is not attributable to a lack of sufficient Net Operating Income available to Borrower from the Property or Collateral to perform all of Borrower’s or such Affiliate’s obligations under the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instruments or the other Loan Documents; (viii) any fees or commissions paid by Borrower to any Principal, Affiliate or of Borrower, Indemnitor or Guarantor in violation of the terms of the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instruments or the other Loan Documents; (ix) any failure by Borrower to comply with the provisions of Sections 4.1.26 and 5.1.19 hereof; or (x) if the Property, the Collateral or any part thereof shall become an asset in an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding commenced by any Person (other than Lender) and Borrower fails to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a dismissal of such proceedings.

 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the agreement of Lender not to pursue recourse liability as set forth in Subsection (a) above SHALL BECOME NULL AND VOID and shall be of no further force and effect as to Borrower (but not to any Related Party other than pursuant to a written instrument executed by such Related Party specifically providing for such liability) (i) in the event of willful default by Borrower to provide a report or information under Section 5.1.10(b), (c), (f), (i), (j), (k) and (l), but a failure to provide such reports and information shall not be deemed willful if such failure is the result of good faith error and is cured within ten (10) Business Days after notice is delivered to Borrower, provided, however, that if (x) Borrower is prevented by an unaffiliated third party from delivering such information, and (y) Borrower uses reasonable efforts (including the reasonable expenditure of money) to obtain such information, then such failure shall not be deemed willful so long as Borrower continuously endeavors in good faith to obtain the required financial reports and information and delivers same to Lender as soon as it becomes available to Borrower, (ii) in the event of a default under Section 4.1.22 of this Agreement such that either (A) such failure was considered by a court as a factor in the court’s finding for a consolidation of the assets of Borrower with the assets of another Person or (B) as a result thereof, Lender suffers any material damage, cost, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, whether or not litigation has commenced); provided, however, that in the absence of an actual consolidation, recourse may be had against any of the Borrower only to the extent of Losses

 

103


for its failure to comply with the provisions of Section 4.1.22, (iii) in the event of a default under Section 5.2.12 of this Agreement, (iv) in the event that Borrower or Mortgage Borrower incurs Indebtedness not otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents or the Mortgage Loan Documents; provided, however, if an agent or employee of Borrower or a Manager enters into an Equipment lease or Equipment financing in violation of the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Documents or the Loan Documents without express authorization from an executive officer of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Indemnitor or Guarantor, then such violation for purposes of this subsection (iv) shall not result in a nullification of subsection 9.4(a) (but Borrower shall be liable for all Losses related to such violation) so long as such Equipment lease or Equipment financing is terminated and released to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction within ten (10) Business Days of the earlier of (x) Lender’s notice to Borrower (or Mortgage Lender’s notice to Mortgage Borrower) of such violation or (y) the date that an executive officer of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or any officer of Borrower or Mortgage Borrower or of Indemnitor or Guarantor actually becomes aware of such violation, (v) if the Property or Collateral or any part thereof shall become an asset in a voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or (vi) if the first full Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount is not paid when due.

 

(d) Nothing herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the indebtedness secured by the Security Instruments or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the indebtedness owing to Lender in accordance with the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents.

 

Section 9.5 Intentionally Omitted.

 

Section 9.6 Reallocation of Loan Amounts.

 

Lender shall have the right, from time to time, to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, Security Instruments and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loan immediately following such severance shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to such reallocation, (ii) the aggregate Monthly Scheduled Amortization Payments immediately following such severance shall not exceed the aggregate Monthly Scheduled Amortization Payments immediately prior to such severance, (iii) the weighted average interest rate of the Note and the Mortgage Note immediately following such severance shall equal the weighted average interest rate which was applicable to the Note and the Mortgage Note immediately prior to such severance and (iv) except as provided in clauses (i) through and including (iii) above, Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall not be increased nor shall any of Borrower’s rights pursuant to the Loan Documents be diminished. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until ten (10) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. The Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the date hereof, except for those representations and warranties which Borrower will update as of the Closing Date, which will be given as of the Closing Date.

  X. MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 10.1 Survival

 

This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as all or any of the Debt is outstanding and unpaid unless a longer period is expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the legal representatives, successors and assigns of such party. All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf of Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.

 

Section 10.2 Lender’s Discretion

 

Whenever pursuant to this Agreement, Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole, but good faith discretion of Lender and shall be final and conclusive if made in good faith. Whenever herein it is otherwise provided that approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Lender shall apply the standards of a reasonably prudent mezzanine lender. To the extent Lender provides notice to Borrower, all rights of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or unsatisfactory, may be exercised by a member of Lender. Any such exercise by a member of Lender, as provided in such notice to Borrower, shall be treated as an exercise by Lender.

 

Section 10.3 Governing Law.

 

(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT ENTERED INTO PURSUANT TO THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED, CONSTRUED, APPLIED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS).

 

(b) WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OR ACTION ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE, OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, BORROWER (A) IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF, AND (B) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE LAYING ON VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS WILL BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE LENDER FROM BRINGING AN ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT HERETO IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

 

105


Section 10.4 Modification, Waiver in Writing

 

No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Note, or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

 

Section 10.5 Delay Not a Waiver

 

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

Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 10.10 Preferences

 

Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the Obligations. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, State or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.

 

Section 10.11 Waiver of Notice

 

Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.

 

Section 10.12 Remedies of Borrower

 

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 this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies (individually and collectively) shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.

 

Section 10.13 Expenses; Indemnity

 

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including without limitation any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Collateral or with respect to the Property or the Mortgage Borrower); (ii) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the date hereof and the Mortgage

 

108


Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with under the Mortgage Loan Documents, in each case, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) Lender’s ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the date hereof and the Mortgage Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s respective agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with under the Mortgage Loan Documents; (iv) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Lender; (v) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, 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 security interests in the Collateral in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Collateral or any other security given for the Loan or the Borrower’s interest in the Property; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Property, the Collateral or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender.

 

(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all direct, actual liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender, its employees or agents. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.

 

(c) Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the Lender and the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all losses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense, and settlement of losses incurred in correcting any prohibited transaction or in the sale of a prohibited loan, and in obtaining any individual prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA that may be required, in Lender’s sole discretion) that Lender may incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of a default under Sections 4.1.8 or 5.2.8 hereof.

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 10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses

 

Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

 

Section 10.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries

 

(a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Collateral other than that of pledgor, beneficiary or lender.

 

(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

 

Section 10.17 Publicity

 

All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, Lehman, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender.

 

Section 10.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.

 

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and/or shareholders, as applicable, and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Collateral, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of interests in all or any of the Security Instruments, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under

 

110


the Loan Documents to a sale of the Collateral, as applicable, for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt, in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

 

Section 10.19 Waiver of Counterclaim

 

Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents, but Borrower does not waive its right to assert any such claim in a separate action, provided that such separate action does not prevent the application of payments to the Debt.

 

Section 10.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance

 

In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

 

Section 10.21 Brokers and Financial Advice

 

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 hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.

 

Section 10.22 Prior Agreements

 

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, between Borrower and/or its Affiliates and Lender relating solely to the transactions contemplated hereby are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 10.24 Mortgage Loan Defaults

 

(a) Without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of Borrower’s obligations hereunder, if there shall occur any default under Mortgage Loan Documents and, in connection therewith, Mortgage Lender delivers a notice of default asserting that Mortgage Borrower has defaulted in the performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition of the Mortgage Loan Documents (and the same shall have continued beyond any applicable notice or grace periods, and without regard to any other defenses or offset rights Mortgage Borrower may have against Mortgage Lender), Borrower hereby expressly agrees that Lender shall have the immediate right, with prior notice to Borrower (to the extent required hereunder), but shall be under no obligation: (i) to pay all or any part of the loan evidenced by the Mortgage Loan Documents, 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 Mortgage Borrower, as may be appropriate, to cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Documents on the part of Mortgage Borrower to be performed or observed thereunder to be promptly performed or observed and to cure or attempt to cure any default under the Mortgage Loan Documents; 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 (including, without limitation, attorneys’ and other professional fees), with 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, shall constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by the pledge under Security Instruments, as applicable, and shall be due and payable to Lender within 10 days following demand therefor.

 

(b) 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, without limitation, 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 any action listed in Section 10.24(a), unless Lender or Lender’s agent shall have acted with willful misconduct or gross negligence in the discharge of such action. Lender shall have no obligation to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or any other party to make any such payment or performance. No Borrower shall impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, nor shall Borrower cause Mortgage 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 loan evidenced by the Mortgage Loan Documents, or to otherwise protect or preserve Lender’s interests in the Loan and the Collateral following a default or asserted default under the Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

112


(c) Any default or breach by Mortgage Borrower under the Mortgage Loan Documents which is not cured prior to the expiration of any applicable grace, notice or cure period afforded to Mortgage Borrower under the Mortgage Loan Documents, or otherwise afforded to Mortgage Borrower in writing by Mortgage Lender, shall constitute an Event of Default, without regard to any subsequent payment or performance of any such obligations by Lender. 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 beyond all applicable cure periods, or the assertion by Mortgage Lender that a default, beyond all applicable cure periods, has occurred under the Mortgage 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, Mortgage Borrower’s and/or Lender’s interest. Lender may take such action as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to carry our the intents and purposes of this subsection (including, without limitation, communicating with Mortgage Lender with respect to any defaults under the Mortgage Loan Documents), 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 Mortgage Loan Documents sent by Mortgage Lender to Mortgage 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, unless Lender or Lender’s agent shall have acted with willful misconduct or gross negligence in the taking or in failing to take such action. 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, except to the extent that Lender or Lender’s agent shall have acted with willful misconduct or gross negligence in the exercise of such rights and remedies. In the event that Lender makes any payment in respect of the Mortgage Loan, Lender shall be subrogated to all of the rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents against the Property, in addition to all other rights it may have under the Loan Documents.

 

(e) In connection with the exercise of its rights in this Section, Lender shall have the right at any time to discuss the Property, the Mortgage Loan, the Loan or any other matter directly with Mortgage Lender or Mortgage Lender’s consultants, agents or representatives without notice to or permission from Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or any other Restricted Party, nor shall Lender have any obligation to disclose such discussions or the contents thereof with Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or any other Restricted Party.

 

(f) Any default or breach under the Mortgage Loan Documents which is cured by Lender after the expiration of any applicable grace, notice or cure period under the Mortgage Loan Documents, shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under this Agreement without any notice, grace or cure period otherwise applicable under this Agreement.

 

(g) In the event that Lender makes any payment in respect of the Mortgage Loan, Lender shall be subrogated to all of the rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents against the Property, Mortgage Borrower and each other obligor thereunder in addition to all other rights Lender may have under the Loan Documents or Applicable Law.

 

(h) In the event the Lender is required pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement to pay over to Mortgage Lender any payment or distribution of assets, whether in cash, property or securities which had previously been paid to Lender, including, without limitation, any proceeds of the Property previously received by Lender on account of the Loan, which payment or distribution is applied in respect of the Mortgage Loan, then Borrower agrees that any amount so paid

 

113


shall continue to be owing pursuant to the Loan Documents as part of the Debt notwithstanding the prior receipt of such payment by Lender.

 

Section 10.25 Mortgage Loan Estoppels

 

Borrower shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to, from time to time, obtain from the Mortgage Lender such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by Mortgage Borrower with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender. In the event or to the extent that Mortgage Lender is not legally obligated to deliver such certificates of estoppel and is unwilling to deliver the same, or is legally obligated to deliver such certificates of estoppel but breaches such obligation, then Borrower shall not be in breach of this provision so long as Borrower furnishes to Lender an estoppel executed by Borrower and Mortgage Borrower expressly representing to Lender, to the best of their knowledge, the information requested by Lender regarding compliance by Mortgage Borrower with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents. 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, without limitation, 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 if and to the extent based in whole or in part upon any fact, event, condition, or circumstances relating to the Mortgage Loan which was misrepresented in, or which warrants disclosure to make the representation of such fact, event condition or circumstance not misleading, and was omitted from such estoppel executed by Borrower, and Mortgage Borrower.

 

Section 10.26 No Amendments to Mortgage Loan Documents

 

Borrower shall not cause or permit Mortgage Borrower to enter into any amendment or modification of any of the Mortgage Loan Documents without obtaining the prior written approval of Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld if such modification, amendment, extension, renewal or replacement does not in Lender’s sole, but reasonable, discretion have an adverse impact on Lender or the Loan; provided, however that Mortgage Lender and Mortgage Borrower shall have the right to enter into, execute and agree to a modification, amendment, consolidation, spreader, restatement or waiver of any provision of the Mortgage Loan Documents without obtaining the consent of Lender, provided no such modification, amendment, consolidation, spreader, restatement or wavier shall (i) be a material modification, amendment, extension or replacement of the Mortgage Loan Documents, (ii) increase the principal amount secured by the mortgage loan under such Mortgage Loan Documents, (iii) increase the interest rate payable under the mortgage loan under such Mortgage Loan Documents, (iv) provide for the payment of any additional interest, kicker or similar equity feature, (v) modify the maturity of the mortgage loan under such Mortgage Loan Documents other than pursuant to the terms of such Mortgage Loan Documents (except that Mortgage Lender may extend the maturity date of such mortgage loan in connection with any work-out or other surrender, compromise, release, renewal, or indulgence relating to such mortgage loan), (vi) spread the Lien of such mortgage loan to encumber any additional real property (except as expressly provided in the Mortgage Loan Documents), (vii) cross-default such mortgage loan with any other indebtedness, (viii) change the amount or timing of amortization of principal under such mortgage loan (except that Mortgage Lender may change the amortization of principal of such mortgage loan in connection with any work-out or other surrender, compromise, release, renewal, or indulgence relating thereto), (ix) adversely affect in any material respect the rights and interests of Lender under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amounts funded by Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents as a result of (A) the making of any protective advances or other advances by Mortgage Lender expressly permitted by the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, or (B) interest accruals or accretions and any compounding thereof (including default interest) shall not at any time be deemed to contravene this Section.

 

114


Section 10.27 Acquisition of the Mortgage Loan

 

(a) None of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor or any Affiliate of any of them shall acquire or agree to acquire the Mortgage Loan, or any portion thereof or any interest therein, or any direct or indirect ownership interest in the holder of the Mortgage Loan, 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 shall have failed to comply with the foregoing, then Borrower: (i) shall immediately notify Lender of such failure; (ii) shall cause any and all such prohibited parties acquiring any interest in the Mortgage Loan Documents: (A) not to enforce the Mortgage 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 mortgage loan pursuant to such Mortgage Loan Documents, (2) reconvey and release the Lien securing such mortgage loan and any other collateral under the Mortgage Loan Documents, and (3) discontinue and terminate any enforcement proceeding(s) under the Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

(b) Borrower hereby expressly covenants and agrees that if, at any time after the date hereof, the Loan and the Mortgage Loan cease to be under affiliated ownership, and Lender acquires the Mortgage Loan when an Event of Default shall be continuing, then, at Lender’s option, exercised in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, Lender may elect: (i) to declare that the Mortgage Loan is in default (which default shall not be subject to any grace, notice or cure periods); and (ii) to accelerate the indebtedness under the Mortgage Loan.

 

(c) Lender shall have the right at any time to acquire all or any portion of the Mortgage Loan or any interest in any holder of, or participant in, the Mortgage Loan without notice or consent of Borrower or any other Restricted Party, in which event Lender shall have and may exercise all rights of the Mortgage Lender thereunder (to the extent of its interest), including the right (i) to declare that the Mortgage Loan is in default and (ii) to accelerate the Mortgage Loan indebtedness, in accordance with the terms thereof and (iii) to pursue all remedies against any obligor under the Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

Section 10.28 Deed In Lieu of Foreclosure; Borrower not to Acquire Mortgage Loan

 

(a) Borrower shall not, nor shall Borrower cause, suffer or permit Mortgage Borrower to, enter into any deed-in-lieu or consensual foreclosure with or for the benefit of Mortgage Lender or any of its affiliates. Without the express prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not, nor shall Borrower cause, suffer or permit Mortgage Borrower to, enter into any consensual sale or other transaction in connection with the Mortgage Loan which could diminish, modify, terminate, impair or otherwise adversely affect the interests of Lender or Borrower in the Collateral or any portion thereof or any interest therein or of Mortgage Borrower in the Property or any portion thereof or any interest therein.

 

(b) For so long as any amounts in respect of the Loan remain outstanding, neither Borrower nor its Affiliates shall acquire the Mortgage Loan or any interest therein.

 

Section 10.29 Refinancing or Prepayment of the Mortgage Loan

 

(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, neither Borrower nor Mortgage Borrower shall be required to obtain the consent of Lender to make any partial or full prepayments of amounts owing under the Mortgage Loan.

 

115


(b) Following the end of the Lock-Out Period, neither Borrower nor Mortgage Borrower shall be required to obtain the consent of Lender to refinance the Mortgage Loan, provided that the Loan is paid in full in accordance with the terms of the Note (including any prepayment premiums, the Additional Interest and other amounts due and payable to Lender under the Loan Documents).

 

(c) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to obtain the prior written consent of Lender to enter into any refinancing of the Mortgage Loan, as applicable, other than as specified in subsection (b) of this Section, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided that any such refinancing: (i) shall be in an amount no greater than the original principal amount of, the Mortgage Loan, as applicable; (ii) shall be evidenced by loan documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender; (iii) shall be subject to an intercreditor agreement between Lender and such refinancing lender on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to Lender; and (iv) satisfies, in full, the debt under the Mortgage Loan.

 

Section 10.30 Independent Approval Rights.

 

Except as may be provided herein to the contrary (including without limitation, in Section 10.32), but without limiting any requirements in the Loan Documents that Lender not unreasonably withhold its consent or approval, if any action, proposed action or other decision is consented to or approved by Mortgage Lender, such consent or approval shall not be binding or controlling on Lender. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the risks of Mortgage Lender in making the Mortgage Loan are different from the risks of Lender in making the Loan, (ii) in determining whether to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval Mortgage Lender and Lender may reasonably reach different conclusions, and (iii) except as may be expressly provided herein to the contrary (including, without limitation in Section 10.32 hereof), Lender has an absolute independent right to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval based on its own point of view.

 

Section 10.31 Intercreditor Agreement

 

Lender contemplates that, subsequent to the date hereof, it may enter into an intercreditor agreement with Mortgage Lender memorializing their relative rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the Loan, Mortgage Borrower, Borrower and the Property (the “Intercreditor Agreement”). Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any such Intercreditor Agreement will be solely for the benefit of Lender and Mortgage Lender, and that Borrower and Mortgage Borrower shall not be intended third-party beneficiaries of any of the provisions therein and shall not be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein. Borrower’s Obligations are and will be independent of such Intercreditor Agreement and shall remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof.

 

Section 10.32 Subordination; Relationship to Mortgage Loan

 

(a) If the Mortgage Loan Documents (or Lender-approved loan documents evidencing or securing a replacement, substitution or refinancing of loan(s) represented thereby), on the one hand, and the Loan Documents, on the other, impose conflicting obligations upon Borrower and Mortgage Borrower with respect to the maintenance or operation of the Property, the maintenance of insurance, the application of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, the use and application of Rents and amounts paid or payable under Leases, leasing standards, Lease approval rights, the handling and application of cash collateral, or any other actions or obligations which would result in a default under the Mortgage Loan Documents if the requirements of the Mortgage Loan Documents or the holder of the Mortgage Loan are not performed or observed, the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Documents shall control, and Mortgage Borrower’s compliance with the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Documents shall constitute compliance with the Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) with respect to

 

116


maintenance of insurance, (A) Lender shall have the benefits of the insurance coverage required under Article VI hereof, including, without limitation, Lender’s being named as a loss payee or an additional insured or otherwise as a beneficiary as provided in Article VI on all insurance policies covering or otherwise affecting the Property and/or the Collateral, (B) such insurance policies procured pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents shall provide insurance coverage equivalent in all material respects to the insurance coverage required by Article VI hereof, and (C) Borrower and Mortgage Borrower shall procure insurance, if any, required by Lender with respect to the Collateral in accordance with Article VII hereof notwithstanding satisfaction of the requirements of the Mortgage Loan Documents; and (ii) with respect to approval of an Annual Budget, to the extent that Mortgage Lender, pursuant to its rights under the Mortgage Loan Documents, requires certain expenditures in such Annual Budget, Lender’s approval shall not be required with respect to such expenditures.

 

Section 10.33 Intentionally Omitted.

 

Section 10.34 Rescission of Payments.

 

If at any time all or any part of any payment made by Borrower or any other Restricted Party in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document is rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever (including the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or any other Restricted Party), then the Obligations of Borrower or such Restricted Party shall, to the extent of the payment rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such previous payment, and the Obligations shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such payment, all as though such previous payment had never been made.

 

Section 10.35 Attorney-In-Fact.

 

Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Lender, as its attorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with an interest, to execute and/or record in Lender’s or Borrower’s name any notices, instruments or documents that Lender deems appropriate to protect Lender’s interest under any of the Loan Documents if Borrower fails to execute and deliver, or cause same to be executed and delivered, within five (5) Business Days after written request by Lender, provided that Borrower is required to execute and deliver same pursuant to this Agreement or the Loan Documents.

 

Section 10.36 Counterparts.

 

To facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as may be convenient or required. It shall not be necessary that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature of all Persons required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single document. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, each of the parties hereto. Any signature page to any counterpart may be detached from such counterpart without impairing the legal effect of the signatures thereon and thereafter attached to another counterpart identical thereto except having attached to it additional signature pages. For purposes hereof, facsimile signatures shall be binding on the parties to this Agreement.

Section 10.40 Maintenance of the Registry.

 

Borrower (or its duly authorized agent) shall maintain or cause to be maintained a registry (the “Registry”) of the ownership of the Note at its principal office (or the principal office of its duly authorized agent).
