2. THE LOAN
2.1. Making the Loan
In reliance upon the representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements of Borrower contained herein and in the other Loan Documents, and
upon full satisfaction by Borrower of the terms and conditions precedent set
forth in Article 4 of this Agreement, the Lender agrees to make a loan (the
"Loan") to Borrower, which Loan shall be advanced to Borrower in a single
advance of immediately available funds equal to the Loan Amount less the Lender
Costs and the Origination Fee (the "Net Loan Proceeds"). The Net Loan Proceeds
shall be used solely for the purposes described in Section 2.3 hereof. The Loan
will be secured by, among other things, Mortgages encumbering the Mortgaged
Properties and granting a lien on and security interest in certain other
Collateral under the Mortgages and other Security Documents effecting and
granting a lien on and security interest in such other Collateral, and shall
bear interest at the rates per annum specified in Section 2.4 hereof.
Notwithstanding that Borrower will receive an advance only of the
-24-
Net Loan Proceeds, Borrower shall be required to repay the full Loan Amount in
the manner described herein.
2.2. Mortgage Note
The obligation of Borrower to repay the full Loan Amount, together
with interest thereon, and Yield Maintenance Payments, Defeasance Deposits and
other charges, if any, related thereto, shall be evidenced by that certain
Mortgage Note made by Borrower as of the Closing Date to the order of the Lender
(the "Mortgage Note"), substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto
---------
and incorporated herein, in the original principal amount of Three Hundred
Twenty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($325,000,000).
The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender and its
successors and assigns, with full power of substitution, as its attorney-in-
fact, solely for the purpose, from time to time in connection with a foreclosure
on any Mortgaged Property following an Event of Default and/or acceleration of
the maturity of the Loan, of executing two or more promissory notes (each, a
"New Note") substantially in the form of Exhibit A, with an aggregate face
---------
principal balance equal to the principal amount then outstanding under the
Mortgage Note (with a notation on each such New Note as to the outstanding
principal amount of the Loan allocated to each such New Note) and marking each
promissory note that is to be replaced with such New Notes (whether the original
Mortgage Note or any Defeased Note or Undefeased Note) "REPLACED" or
"SUPERSEDED." Such power of attorney is a limited power of attorney coupled with
an interest.
2.3. Use of Loan Proceeds
Borrower agrees that the Net Loan Proceeds shall be used solely for
the purpose of:
(a) repaying all existing mortgage indebtedness of the Borrower,
which is secured by mortgages on the Hotels (the "Bank Debt"); and
(b) paying Deferred Incentive Management Fees to the Manager at
Closing in an amount not to exceed $4,200,000; and
(c) funding the FF&E Reserve Account in the aggregate amount of
$7,000,000.00 in excess of the balance in the FF&E Reserve Account immediately
prior to the Closing Date; and
(d) paying any transaction costs required to be paid by Borrower
pursuant to Section 11.7.1 hereof.
The balance of the Net Loan Proceeds may be used by the Borrower for any purpose
whatsoever, including, without limitation, making distributions to its Partners.
2.4. Payment of Principal and Interest
-25-

provided in this Agreement and the Mortgage Note. The Mortgage Note shall not
be prepayable except as expressly provided for in this Section 2.4.1, and
Sections 2.5 and 2.6 hereof. On any Due Date occurring on or after the date
that is six (6) months prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date, the Mortgage Note
may be prepaid, at the option of the Borrower, in full or in part, without
penalty or premium. To the extent not previously paid, the entire Debt shall be
due and payable on the Final Maturity Date.
Section 2.4.2 Interest.
--------
(a) Except as set forth in Sections 2.4.4(b) with respect to
interest accruing at the Default Interest Rate, the Debt shall bear interest for
each Debt Service Period at the applicable Interest Rate then in effect and
shall be payable as provided herein.
(b) Calculations of interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-
day year and the actual number of days elapsed during each Debt Service Period.
Section 2.4.3 Payments without Deduction, etc. All payments of the Debt
--------------------------------
to the Lender shall be absolute and unconditional, shall be paid strictly in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents without being subject to any
claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower may have against the
Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the
transactions contemplated herein or any other circumstance or happening
whatsoever. The Borrower shall pay such payments to the Lender free and clear
of, and without deduction for, any and all present or future taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges, penalties or withholdings, and any liabilities
with respect thereto, by whomever imposed, other than present or future taxes on
the income of the Lender or franchise taxes imposed on the Lender as a result of
its conducting business in specific jurisdictions. The Borrower shall pay and
indemnify and hold the Lender harmless from and against, any present or future
claim or liability for United States, state or local taxes or assessments on the
ownership by the Lender of the debt obligations of the Borrower evidenced by the
Mortgage Note, or on the principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable
under any Loan Documents or otherwise in respect of the Debt (other than income
or franchise taxes imposed on the Lender or its Affiliates by any jurisdiction).
The obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall survive repayment of the Debt
and termination of the Loan Documents.
Section 2.4.4 Periodic Payments.
-----------------
(a) On the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender
interest on the Mortgage Note at the Base Rate for the period beginning on and
including the Closing Date and ending on but excluding April 10, 1997.
(b) On May 9, 1997 and on each Due Date thereafter, the Borrower
shall pay (i) interest on the outstanding principal of the Mortgage Note at the
Base Rate for the prior Debt Service Period and (ii) the Scheduled Principal
Payment due on the applicable Due Date, subject however to adjustment pursuant
to Section 2.4.4(c) hereof (together, the "Monthly Debt Service Payment").
-26-
At any time while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Borrower shall, in addition to the Monthly Debt Service Payment and other
amounts due hereunder, be liable for the payment of interest at the Default
Interest Rate (rather than the Interest Rate) (which interest is payable both
before and after Lender has obtained a judgment with respect to the Loan);
provided, however, that for the purposes of this sentence, an Event of Default
shall be considered to have occurred and be continuing only until such Event of
Default has been cured, including, without limitation, pursuant to the
provisions of Section 7.1.3 hereof, if applicable. The priority of payment of
Default Interest shall be (i) up to and including the Scheduled Maturity Date,
as set forth in Section 4.3 of the Cash Management Procedures attached as
Schedule 5.11 hereto (or, if applicable, Section 6.9 thereof) and (ii) after the
-------------
Scheduled Maturity Date, as set forth in Section 4.4 of the Cash Management
Procedures attached as Schedule 5.11 hereto (or, if applicable, Section 6.10
-------------
thereof). Payment or acceptance of the increased rates provided for in this
Section 2.4.4(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment or full
performance by the Borrower and shall not constitute a waiver of any Default or
Event of Default or an amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document
and shall not otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Lender.
(c) If any portion of the principal balance of the Loan is prepaid
(i) on or about the Scheduled Maturity Date by the application of payments
received from or with respect to U.S. Obligations held by the Lender on the
Scheduled Maturity Date as a result of a Release of any Mortgaged Property from
the Lien of the Security Documents pursuant to Section 2.5 or, (ii) on or after
the last day of the Defeasance Period, pursuant to the second to last sentence
of Section 2.4.1 hereof, the Scheduled Principal Payment payable on each Due
Date thereafter shall be reduced by a percentage equal to the percentage
reduction in the outstanding principal amount payable under the Mortgage Note
resulting from such prepayment; provided, however, that the Scheduled Principal
Payments due on each Due Date shall in no event be reduced to an amount less
than the amount necessary to fully repay the Loan on or before the date on
which, determined as of the Scheduled Maturity Date (taking into account the
prepayment of the Loan to be made on such date pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof),
the Loan would have been repaid had such prepayment and adjustment not occurred.
(d) In addition to the payments required to be made under Section
2.4.4(b) above, subsequent to the Scheduled Maturity Date and in accordance with
the Cash Management Procedures, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender on each Due
Date (without duplication), until the entire Debt is repaid in full, Excess Cash
Flow for all Accounting Periods for which the Operating Profit Payment Date
occurred during the Debt Service Period relating to such Due Date, which
payments shall be applied in the manner contemplated by clause (N) of Section
4.4 of the Cash Management Procedures (or, if applicable clause (M) of Section
6.10 thereof).
2.4.5 Insufficient Payments
---------------------
In the event that the Borrower fails to pay all amounts due and
payable on the Mortgage Note on any date (including payments from the proceeds
of any sale of Collateral pursuant to any of the Loan Documents or payments from
the Debt Service Reserve maintained pursuant to of the Cash Management
Procedures attached as
-27-
Schedule 5.11 hereto), unless otherwise determined by Lender, all cash paid by
-------------
the Borrower on such date shall be applied in the following order of priority to
the extent of the cash so paid:

by the Lender in enforcing this Loan Agreement and any of the other Loan
Documents, including all costs and expenses of the foreclosure and/or sale

payable under Section 4.3 of any Mortgage;
SECOND: to pay interest at the Base Rate then due and payable on the
Mortgage Note;

Borrower shall execute and deliver all documents
necessary to replace the Mortgage Note with two
substitute promissory notes: one promissory note having a
principal balance equal to the portion of the then-
existing Mortgage Note that is to be defeased by payment
of the Defeasance Deposit (the "Defeased Note") and the

the Borrower simultaneously with the issuance of the
Defeased Note and the Undefeased Note. The Defeased Note

the Lender has the power to take, the Lender holds a
first priority perfected security interest in the
Defeasance Collateral, and (iv) if the Securitization has
occurred, (a) such transfer will not result in a deemed
exchange of the Certificates pursuant to Section 1001 of
the Code, (b) such transfer will not, by itself,
adversely affect the status of the Certificates as
indebtedness for federal income tax purposes and (c) such
transfer will not adversely affect the status of the
entity holding the Mortgage Note as a REMIC (assuming for
such purposes that such entity otherwise qualifies as a
REMIC and that the Mortgage Note was transferred to such
REMIC not later than two years prior to the Release
Date);

Comfort Letter in connection with a defeasance delivers a
Rating Comfort Letter.

Mortgaged Properties, less than all of the Mortgaged Properties shall have been
released, the Lender shall use the Defeasance Deposit to purchase U.S.
Obligations that provide payments on or prior to, but as close as possible to,
all successive Due Dates after the Release Date that would be required with
respect to an assumed promissory note in a principal amount equal to (except as
provided in the last sentence of this paragraph) the Release Price(s) of the
Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties to be released from the Lien of the
Security Documents on such Release Date. Such assumed promissory note shall be
in the same form (including with respect to term, interest rate and scheduled
amortization) as the Mortgage Note but shall provide for a mandatory prepayment
thereof in full on the Scheduled Maturity Date, including through the
application by the Lender of U.S. Obligations pursuant to the provisions of
Section 2.5(h) hereof. In order to secure the Release, in addition to the U.S.
Obligations referred to in the preceding sentence, the Borrower may, at its
election, purchase U.S. Obligations for delivery to the Lender that provide
additional payments of the type referred to herein in order to satisfy the Debt
Service Release Conditions. If any Mortgaged Property is released pursuant to
this Section 2.5 as a result of a Casualty or a Taking subsequent to a the first
day of the Defeasance Period, the payments provided for in this subsection (b)
shall be equal to the greater of (A) the Allocated Loan Amount and (B) the
lesser of (x) the Release Price that would otherwise be required to secure a
Release of the Mortgaged Property and (y) the sum of the Net Sales Proceeds
received by Borrower from the sale of the Mortgaged Property or the part thereof
that remains following the Casualty or Taking plus the remaining Award or
Insurance Proceeds not previously applied to repayment of the Loan or
Restoration.
(c) If, as a result of the Release of the subject Mortgaged Property or
Mortgaged Properties, all of the Mortgaged Properties shall have been released,
the Lender shall use the Defeasance Deposit to purchase U.S. Obligations that
provide, together with any U.S. Obligations purchased in connection with any
prior Releases of Mortgaged Properties, payments on or prior to, but as close as
possible to, all successive Due Dates after the Release Date that would be
required with respect to an assumed promissory note in a principal amount equal
to the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Note and accrued
and unpaid interest thereon as of the Release Date. Such assumed promissory
note shall be in the same form (including with respect to term and interest
rate) as the Mortgage Note but shall provide for a mandatory prepayment thereof
in full on the Scheduled Maturity Date, including through the application by the
Servicer of U.S. Obligations pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.5(h)
hereof.
(d) The Borrower, pursuant to the Defeasance Security Agreement or other
appropriate document, shall irrevocably authorize and direct that the payments
received from the U.S. Obligations may be made directly to the Lender and
applied to satisfy the obligations of Borrower under the Mortgage Note. In
connection with any total defeasance of the Loan, any portion of the Defeasance
Deposit that exceeds the amount necessary to purchase U.S. Obligations required
by Section 2.5(c) shall be remitted to the Borrower reasonably promptly
following the purchase of such U.S. Obligations. In connection with
-31-
any partial defeasance of the Loan, any portion of the Defeasance Deposit that
exceeds the amount necessary to purchase the U.S. Obligations required by
Section 2.5(b) shall be retained by Lender in an Eligible Account as additional
collateral for the Loan, and shall be invested in Permitted Investments,
Borrower hereby granting to Lender a security interest in such account and in
such Permitted Investments.
(e) Upon compliance with the requirements of this Section 2.5, each
Mortgaged Property to be Released shall be Released from the Lien of the
Security Documents and shall not be deemed a Mortgaged Property hereunder, and
the U.S. Obligations shall constitute substitute collateral, which, together
with the Collateral covered by all other Security Documents applicable to the
remaining Mortgaged Properties, shall secure the Debt.
(f) If all the Mortgaged Properties have been Released, the Borrower may
assign its obligations under the Mortgage Note, together with the U.S.
Obligations, to a successor entity (the "Successor Entity") designated by the
Lender and shall thereupon be released fully from all of its obligations under
the Loan Documents except that the Borrower shall continue to be liable (i) for
damages caused by any material inaccuracy in any of the representations and
warranties made in Article 3 of this Agreement (which shall survive, as of the
date made or deemed made, for so long as any portion of the Debt is
outstanding), (ii) under Sections 7.5, Sections 11.5, 11.6 and 11.7.1 (provided,
however, that such Sections shall survive only as to matters arising out of
circumstances in existence before such assumption by the Successor Entity),
(iii) under the Environmental Indemnity Agreement (which shall terminate only in
accordance with its terms) and (iv) under the Cooperation Agreement (which shall
terminate only in accordance with its terms). In such event, the opinion of
counsel provided for in clause (a)(iv)(E) of this Section 2.5 shall provide
that, upon such assignment, the Defeasance Collateral will not be part of the
estate of the Borrower under Section 541 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.
In consideration of the payment of $1,000 by the Borrower, such Successor Entity
shall assume the Borrower's obligations under the Mortgage Note and the
Defeasance Security Agreement, the Borrower shall be relieved of its obligations
thereunder, and the Debt shall not be deemed outstanding for any purpose of this
Agreement. If required by the applicable Rating Agencies, the Borrower shall
also deliver or cause to be delivered a Substantive Consolidation Opinion with
respect to the Successor Entity in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender
and the applicable Rating Agencies.
(g) For purposes of this Section 2.5, "Defeasance Deposit" shall mean an
amount in cash equal to the sum of (x) (i) with respect to a Release referred to
in Section 2.5(c), all costs and expenses (including the purchase price)
incurred or to be incurred in the purchase of U.S. Obligations necessary to make
the payments required under Section 2.5(c); or (ii) with respect to a partial
release referred to in Section 2.5(b), the sum of (A) the Release Price of the
Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties (or, if applicable, such lesser
amount as is due under the last sentence of Section 2.5(b)) being released plus
----
(B) all costs and expenses (including the purchase price) incurred or to be
incurred in the purchase of U.S. Obligations necessary to make the payments
required under Section 2.5(b), to the extent the amount in clause (A) is
insufficient for such purpose; plus (C) all costs and expenses (including the
----
purchase price) incurred or to be incurred in the purchase of such additional
U.S. Obligations as may be required to make additional monthly payments
sufficient to cause the Debt Service Release Conditions to be satisfied,
-32-
and (y) in all cases, any revenue, documentary stamp or intangible taxes or any
other tax or charge due in connection with the transfer of the Mortgage Note,
the creation of the Defeased Note and the Undefeased Note if applicable, any
transfer of the Defeased Note, or otherwise required to accomplish the
agreements of Section 2.5(a)(iv)(I).
(h) If the payment of accrued and unpaid interest and principal of the
Mortgage Note and any other Debt has not been made in full by the Scheduled
Maturity Date, payments from or with respect to U.S. Obligations then held by
the Lender and such payments received by the Lender thereafter shall be applied
on the Scheduled Maturity Date, or, if later, on the date such payment is
received (i) first, to payment of accrued and unpaid interest (other than
Default Interest) on the Mortgage Note, (ii) second, to prepayment of the
Scheduled Principal Payments due on each Due Date, in the inverse order of their
scheduled maturities, and (iii) third, to payment of Default Interest, if any.
(i) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.5(a) setting forth the
time period during which a Mortgaged Property may be defeased, but subject to
Section 2.6, the Borrower may defease the Lien of the Security Documents to
cause the release of a Mortgaged Property for the purpose set forth in Section
7.1.3 prior to the date set forth in such Section 2.5(a) if it provides to the
Lender an opinion in form and substance, and from a firm, acceptable to the
Lender in the exercise of its sole discretion, that such release will not
adversely affect the status of the entity holding the interest in the Mortgage
Note as a REMIC (assuming for such purpose that such entity otherwise qualifies
as a REMIC).
2.6. Partial Release in Connection with a Casualty, Taking or Default
before Defeasance Period
In the event that, prior to (a) the first day of the Defeasance Period, a
Mortgaged Property has suffered a total or substantial Taking or Casualty (in
each case, as to which Restoration is not required or permitted under the
applicable Mortgage) or (b) a Securitization, a Default of the type described in
Section 7.1.3 occurs that can be cured by a Release of a Mortgaged Property from
the lien of the Security Documents, the Borrower shall cause the Release of such
Mortgaged Property from the Lien of the Security Documents upon the satisfaction
of the following conditions:
(a) the Borrower shall provide not less than 30 days' notice to the
Lender specifying a Due Date on which the amount set forth in clause (c) below
is to be provided to the Lender, which notice shall be accompanied by a
certificate of the Borrower and the General Partner, signed by a duly authorized
officer of the General Partner, to the effect that no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing (or, in the case of a Default or Event of
Default that shall be cured or avoided by the Release of the affected Mortgaged
Property, describing the nature of such Default or Event of Default, and
certifying that such Default or Event of Default shall be cured by such Release)
and that such Release will comply with all applicable requirements of this
Section 2.6;
(b) the Borrower shall pay to the Lender all interest that is accrued and
unpaid on the principal balance of the Mortgage Note and all other sums due
under the Loan Documents, through and including such Due Date, including,
without limitation, all reasonable costs and expenses of Lender incurred in
connection with the prepayment,
-33-
including any costs and expenses associated with a release of the Lien of the
Security Documents and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses;
(c) the Borrower shall pay to the Lender, to be applied to prepayment of
the Scheduled Principal Payments due on each Due Date, in the inverse order of
their scheduled maturities, an amount equal to (1) in the case of a prepayment
pursuant to clause (b) of the first paragraph of this Section 2.6, the Release
Price and the Yield Maintenance Payment for such Mortgaged Property or (2) in
the case of a Release pursuant to clause (a) of the first paragraph of this
Section 2.6, an amount equal to the greater of (a) and (b), in which (a) is the
Allocated Loan Amount for such Mortgaged Property and (b) is the lesser of (x)
the Release Price for such Mortgaged Property and (y) the sum of the Net Sales
Proceeds received by Borrower from the sale of the Mortgaged Property or the
part thereof that remains following the Taking or Casualty, plus the remaining
Award or Insurance Proceeds not previously applied to repayment of the Loan or
Restoration;
(d) the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender, for execution, forms of
release of such Mortgaged Property from the Lien of the Security Documents
appropriate for the jurisdiction in which such Mortgaged Property is located;
and
(e) if the Release is being requested in order to avoid an Event of
Default pursuant to Section 7.1.3 hereof, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Lender that the Debt Service
Release Conditions have been satisfied.
2.7. Partial Release after Defeasance Period
On any Due Date occurring on or after the last day of the Defeasance
Period, upon the sale of any Mortgaged Property to any Person, the Borrower may
cause the Release of such Mortgaged Property from the Lien of the Security
Documents upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:
(a) the Borrower shall provide not less than 30 days' notice to the Lender
specifying a Due Date on which the amount set forth in clause (c) below is to be
provided to the Lender, which notice shall be accompanied by a certificate of
the Borrower and the General Partner, signed by a duly authorized officer of the
General Partner, to the effect that no Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing (or, in the case of a Default or Event of Default that shall
be cured or avoided by the Release of the affected Mortgaged Property,
describing the nature of such Default or Event of Default, and certifying that
such Default or Event of Default shall be cured by such Release) and that such
Release will comply with all applicable requirements of this Section 2.7;
(b) the Borrower shall pay to the Lender all interest that is accrued and
unpaid on the principal balance of the Mortgage Note and all other sums due
under the Loan Documents, through and including such Due Date;
(c) the Borrower shall pay to the Lender, to be applied to prepayment of
the Scheduled Principal Payments due on each Due Date, in the inverse order of
their scheduled maturities, an amount equal to the Release Price of such
Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that (A) if a Mortgaged Property is
released pursuant to this
-34-
Section 2.7 as a result of a Casualty or a Taking as to which Restoration is not
required or permitted under the applicable Mortgage, such payment shall be an
amount equal to the greater of (a) and (b), in which (a) is the Allocated Loan
Amount for such Mortgaged Property and (b) is the lesser of (x) the Release
Price for such Mortgaged Property and (y) the sum of the Net Sales Proceeds
received by Borrower from the sale of the Mortgaged Property or the part thereof
that remains following the Taking or Casualty plus the remaining Award or
Insurance Proceeds not previously applied to repayment of the Loan or
Restoration;
(d) the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender, for execution, forms of
release of such Mortgaged Property from the Lien of the Security Documents
appropriate for the jurisdiction in which such Mortgaged Property is located;
and
(e) unless the Release is being made in connection with a Casualty or
Taking (as to which Restoration is not required or permitted under the
applicable Mortgage), the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Lender that the Debt Service Release Conditions
have been satisfied.
Sales of personal property at a Mortgaged Property in the ordinary
course of business may be made pursuant to Section 1.23 of the applicable
Mortgage without regard to Sections 2.5, 2.6 or 2.7 hereof.
2.8. Yield Maintenance
2.8.1.
If all or any part of the principal amount of the Loan is prepaid
after the Closing Date but prior to the last day of the Defeasance Period as a
result of the acceleration of the maturity of the Mortgage Note after an Event
of Default or if a Mortgaged Property is released for the purpose set forth in
Section 7.1.3 after the Closing Date but prior to the Securitization, Borrower
shall be required to pay a prepayment premium (the "Yield Maintenance Payment")
on the Mortgage Note equal to the greater of (A) 1% of the amount of the
principal prepayment that is to be applied to the Mortgage Note and (B) the
present value as of the end of the applicable Debt Service Period, discounted at
the Reinvestment Yield, of a series of payments each equal to the Payment
Differential on each of the remaining Due Dates prior to and including the
Scheduled Maturity Date, after giving effect to the regularly scheduled payment
of principal that is to be made on the Prepayment Date. No Yield Maintenance
Payment shall be required in connection with prepayments made on or after the
last day of the Defeasance Period.
2.8.2.
Promptly following such a prepayment, the Lender shall notify Borrower
of the amount and basis of determination of the applicable Yield Maintenance
Payment promptly upon determining the Treasury Rate, as contemplated below.
Absent manifest error, the Borrower shall not dispute Lender's calculations
hereunder.
For purposes of this Section 2.8, the following terms shall have the
meanings ascribed to them below:
-35-
"Payment Differential" means, an amount equal to (x) the Base Rate,
minus the Reinvestment Yield, divided by (y) 12, and multiplied by (z) the
amount of the principal prepayment.
"Reinvestment Yield" is the Treasury Rate converted to a monthly
compounded nominal annual yield.
"Treasury Rate" is equal to the lesser of (A) the annual yield on the
United States Treasury issue (primary issue) with a maturity date closest
to the Final Maturity Date and (B) the yield on the United States Treasury
issue (primary issue) with a maturity equal to the remaining average life
of the Mortgage Note, with each such yield being based on the bid price for
such issue as published in The Wall Street Journal on the date that is 14
-----------------------
days prior to (x) the applicable Prepayment Date set forth in the notice of
prepayment provided by the Borrower or (y) the date of acceleration by the
Lender (or if such bid price is not published on that date, the next
preceding date on which such bid price is so published).

Documents and to make the Loan to Borrower, Borrower makes the following
representations and warranties:

General Partner and are within the partnership or corporate power of the
Borrower and the General Partner, as the case may be, and this Agreement and all

be terminated, released or fulfilled at or prior to the Closing).
3.4. Title to Properties
Borrower has, and shall continue to have, good and marketable title
to the Mortgaged Properties, including good and marketable fee simple or
leasehold title, as applicable, in and to the Land, and good and marketable
title in and to the Improvements located thereon, in each case free and clear of
all Liens except for Permitted Liens, and Borrower has, and shall continue to
have, good title to its interest in all other assets that serve as Collateral
for the Loan (which, in the case of assets leased by Borrower, shall mean a good
and valid leasehold interest in such assets), free and clear of all Liens except
Permitted Liens. The Permitted Liens do not and will not materially and
adversely affect (i) the ability of Borrower to pay in full the principal and
interest when due on the Mortgage Note or (ii) the use of the Mortgaged
Properties for the use currently being made thereof or the operation of the
Mortgaged Properties as they currently are being operated. Borrower has no
interest in real property other than the Mortgaged Properties, including the

-------------
attached hereto, and each Ground Lease constitutes the entire
agreement with the landlord thereunder such that there are no
understandings, representations, warranties or promises not
fully set forth therein, (iii) to the best of its knowledge,
there is no existing default or event which with the passage
of time and/or the giving of notice would constitute a default
under any of the Ground Leases by any party thereto, (iv) the
continuation, validity and enforceability of the Ground Leases
will not be affected by the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (v) each such Ground
Lease is either superior to any mortgage encumbering the fee
interest in such Hotel or there is an existing and effective
nondisturbance agreement in place with any holder of such fee
-38-
mortgage that would have the effect of causing such Ground
Lease to remain superior to such fee mortgage upon its
foreclosure, and (vi) except as set forth on Schedule 3.5B, the
-------------
landlord under such Ground Lease has no right or option to
purchase the tenant's leasehold estate or to purchase any
leasehold mortgagee's interest in such Hotel.
(iv) Each Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been duly
recorded.
(v) Each Ground Lease permits the interest of the Borrower as
lessee thereunder to be encumbered by the related Mortgage.
(vi) The Borrower's interest in each Ground Lease may be subjected
to a leasehold mortgage.
(vii) Except as set forth in Schedule 3.5C, each Ground Lease
-------------
requires the lessor thereunder to give notice of any default by
the Borrower, as lessee, to the mortgagee under any leasehold
mortgage relating to such Ground Lease (including the Mortgage)
and provides the mortgagee a reasonable opportunity (including,
where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the
interest of Borrower thereunder) to cure any default under such
Ground Lease that is curable after the receipt of notice of any
such default, before the lessor thereunder may terminate such
Ground Lease.
(viii) The term of each Ground Lease (including all renewal options of
the Borrower, as lessee) extends to a date not earlier than
April 10, 2022.
(ix) Except as set forth in Schedule 3.5D, each Ground Lease
-------------
permits the Borrower, as lessee, to apply all Insurance
Proceeds either (A) to the repair or restoration of all or part
of the related Mortgaged Property, and the Lender, or its
designee, to hold and disburse such Insurance Proceeds as the
repair or restoration progresses, or (B) to the prepayment or
defeasance of the Mortgage Note.
3.6. Utilities
(i) All utility services and facilities (including water, sanitary
sewer, storm sewer, gas and electrical services and facilities) necessary for
the present and proposed use of the Hotels are available to the Hotels and,
except as shown on the surveys or title reports for the Hotels, enter the Hotels
either through adjoining public streets or through private lands pursuant to
valid, unsubordinated, perpetual, enforceable and recorded public or private
easements; (ii) all utility connections for the Hotels have been completed,
installed and paid for; (iii) except as shown on the surveys or title reports
for the Hotels and except for encroachments that would not reasonably be
expected to materially and adversely affect the operation of the applicable
Mortgaged Property, no Improvements on the Land are located upon any public
utility lines or upon any private utility lines serving property other than the
Hotels, or encroach upon any property adjoining the Hotels or
-39-
encroach upon any utility easements or rights-of-way; and (iv) neither Borrower
nor the General Partner has received any notice from any utility that any
utility services utilized by the Hotels will be revoked or otherwise terminated.
3.7. No Violations
No notices of any material violation of law or municipal ordinances or
of federal, state, county or municipal or other governmental agency regulations,
orders or requirements relating to the Collateral have been entered against or
received by the Borrower or, to Borrower's knowledge, the Manager, and the
Borrower has no reason to believe that any such notice may or will be entered or
received.
3.8. Other Agreements
Neither the Borrower, nor the General Partner is a party to any
agreement, instrument, indenture, or other contract or subject to any charter or
other restriction that could materially adversely affect, or threaten to
materially adversely affect, its business, operations, prospects, properties,
assets or condition (financial or otherwise). No material default by Borrower
or the General Partner has occurred or is continuing (nor has there occurred any
continuing event which, with giving of notice or the passage of time or both,
would constitute such a default) under any material contracts, material
agreements or material orders to which the Borrower, or the General Partner, as
the case may be, is a party or by which it is bound and, to the knowledge of
Borrower, no material default by a third party has occurred or is continuing
(nor has there occurred any continuing event which, with the giving of notice or
the passage of time, or both, would constitute such a default) under any such
contracts, agreements or orders. No holder of any indebtedness of Borrower or
the General Partner has given notice of any default thereunder, and no
liquidation or dissolution of Borrower, or the General Partner, and no
receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar
proceedings relative to Borrower, or the General Partner or any of their
properties, is pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower or the General Partner,
threatened against them or their properties.
3.9. Payment of Taxes
(i) Borrower and the General Partner have filed or have caused to be
filed all federal, state, local, and foreign income, excise, property and other
tax returns with respect to their operations, that are required to be filed,
(ii) all such returns are true and correct in all material respects, and (iii)
Borrower and the General Partner have paid or caused to be paid in full all
taxes as shown on such returns or on any assessment received by them, to the
extent that such taxes have become due. Except as so disclosed, the amounts
reserved as a liability for income and other taxes that may become payable are
sufficient for the payment of all such unpaid taxes of Borrower or the General
Partner, whether or not disputed, for which Borrower or the General Partner may
be liable in its own right or as a transferee of the assets of, or as successor
to, any other person or entity.
-40-
3.10. Litigation
There is no legal or governmental action, suit or proceeding
(including any condemnation proceeding) pending to which the Borrower or the
General Partner is a party or of which any property of the Borrower or the
General Partner is subject which, if determined adversely to the Borrower or the
General Partner, as the case may be, would individually or in the aggregate have
a material adverse effect on the Mortgaged Properties, or on the financial
position, business or results of operations of the Borrower or the General
Partner or that might affect in any material respect the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and, to the knowledge of the Borrower and the
General Partner, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated by
governmental authorities or threatened by others.
3.11. Regulation U
Neither Borrower, nor the General Partner is engaged principally, or
as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the
purpose of purchasing or carrying any "margin stock" within the meaning of
Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as now and
from time to time hereafter in effect, and no proceeds of the Loan will be used
for any purpose (and neither Borrower nor the General Partner acting on its
behalf has taken or will take any action, which might cause this Agreement or
any Loan Document to violate said Regulation U or any other regulation of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (in each case as in effect on
the date hereof or as the same may hereinafter be in effect)).
3.12. Investment Company Act
Neither Borrower, nor the General Partner is an "investment company"
or a company "controlled" by an "investment company," as such terms are defined
in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended and none is an open-ended
investment company, unit trust or face-amount certificate company that is or is
required to be registered under Section 8 of the Investment Company Act.
3.13. Transactions with Affiliates
Excluding all transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, no
officer of Borrower, and no other Affiliate of Borrower or of any such officer,
is currently a party to any transaction with Borrower, including any contract,
agreement or other arrangement providing for the employment of, furnishing of
advisory or other services by, purchase or lease of real or personal property
from, or otherwise requiring payments to, any such officer or Affiliate, except
on terms that are fair and reasonable and no less favorable to Borrower than
would be expected in arms-length transactions with third parties where neither
party is under duress or under any extraordinary compulsion to enter into such
contract, agreement or arrangement.
-41-
3.14. Non-Subordination
The obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Mortgage Note,
and each of the other Loan Documents, and the indebtedness evidenced by the
Mortgage Note, are not subordinated in right of payment or otherwise to any
other obligation of Borrower or to any rights of others.
3.15. Permits and Licenses
No proceedings are pending or, to the best of Borrower's and the
General Partner's knowledge, threatened seeking the revocation or suspension of
any permits, licenses or approvals issued with respect to the Hotels the
revocation of which might reasonably be expected to result in any material
adverse change in the business, operations, prospects, properties, assets or
condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower or any of the Hotels. No such
permits, licenses or approvals shall be altered or amended, nor shall Borrower
or the General Partner make any attempt to alter or amend the same, in any
materially adverse respect, without the prior written consent of the Lender.
The Borrower and the General Partner have all material permits, licenses and
authorizations necessary to conduct their respective businesses in the same
manner as currently conducted and currently planned to be conducted.
3.16. Patents and Trademarks
Borrower owns or possesses the right to use all patents, trademarks,
service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses, franchises, permits and rights

to carry on its business as presently conducted and presently planned to be
conducted without conflict with any rights of others.

neither Borrower nor the General Partner maintains or sponsors any Plan.
Neither Borrower nor the General Partner is obligated to make contributions on
behalf of the employees of any Person to any Plan.
3.19. No Notice of Non-Compliance
Neither the Borrower nor the General Partner nor, to the Borrower's
knowledge, the Manager has received any notice from any insurance company which
has issued a policy with respect to the Hotels or from any State Board of Fire
Underwriters (or any other body exercising similar functions) requiring the
performance of any repairs,
-42-
alterations or other work, which repairs, alterations or other work have not
been completed at the Hotels. Neither Borrower nor the General Partner has
received any notice of default or breach which has not been cured under any
covenant, condition, restriction, right-of-way, reciprocal easement agreement or
other easement or agreement affecting the Hotels which is to be performed or
complied with by it.
3.20. Compliance With Laws
Borrower and each Hotel is in compliance with all Laws, except for
such non-compliance as would not reasonably be expected, singly or in the
aggregate, to materially and adversely affect any Hotel or the business,
operations, prospects, assets, properties or condition (financial or otherwise)
of Borrower.
3.21. Compliance with Environmental Laws
To the best of Borrower's and the General Partner's knowledge, there
are no Hazardous Materials other than Permitted Hazardous Substances present at
any of the Mortgaged Properties, and Borrower and each of the Mortgaged
Properties is in compliance in all material respects with, all applicable
Environmental Laws, except for such matters as may be described in the Phase I
environmental reports delivered to Lender prior to the Closing Date (and, in the
case of the Mortgaged Property in San Antonio, Texas, the Phase II environmental
report delivered to Lender) prior to the Closing Date. There are not pending
(and, to the best of Borrower's knowledge, there are not threatened), any
actions, suits, claims, legal proceedings or any other proceedings claiming or
involving the presence on, at or under the Mortgaged Properties, or any part
thereof, of any Hazardous Materials or claiming violation of Environmental Laws
relating to the Mortgaged Properties or any part thereof, and neither the
Borrower nor, to its knowledge, the Manager has received, directly or
indirectly, formal or informal notice of any complaint, order directive,
citation, notice of responsibility, notice of potential responsibility, or
information request from any Governmental Authority or any other person or
entity relating to the foregoing.
3.22. Environmental Indemnification by Borrower
Borrower and the General Partner agree to execute in favor of the
Lender, its successors and assigns, the Environmental Indemnity Agreement. No
Person, other than the Lender and its successors and assigns (including a
purchaser at foreclosure or grantee of an assignment or deed in lieu thereof),
shall have any rights under, or be considered a beneficiary of, the
Environmental Indemnity Agreement.
3.23. Concerning Mortgaged Properties; Financial Statements
(a) All certifications, permits, licenses and approvals required for
the legal use, occupancy and operation of each Hotel as a hotel including any
applicable liquor license, certificate of completion and occupancy permit, have
been obtained and are in full force and effect; (b) Engineering Surveys have
been performed for each of the Hotels and, except as set forth in the
Engineering Surveys, the Hotels and other Improvements are in sound condition
and repair consistent with the conditions required of them under the Management
Agreement and neither Borrower nor the General Partner has knowledge
-43-
that any such Engineering Survey contains any material inaccuracy or omission;
(c) there are no proceedings pending or, to the best of Borrower's or the
General Partner's knowledge, threatened for the total or partial condemnation of
or affecting, any Hotel; (d) the Hotels are not subject to any leases, licenses
or other use or occupancy agreements other than the Ground Leases and leases of
equipment in the ordinary course of business that would not cause the
limitations on leasing contained in the Management Agreement or in any of the
Loan Documents to be violated (the "Leases"); (e) other than the Manager
pursuant to the Management Agreement and hotel guests from time to time, no
Person has any possessory interest in any Hotel or right to occupy any portion
thereof except under and pursuant to the provisions of the Leases; (f) Borrower
does not have on the date hereof any contingent liabilities, liabilities for
taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated
losses from any unfavorable commitments which in each case are known to Borrower
and which, in Borrower's opinion, are reasonably likely to result in a material
adverse effect on the Hotels or the operation thereof, except as referred to or
reflected or provided for in the financial statements heretofore furnished to
the Lender or as otherwise disclosed to the Lender herein; (g) since the last
date of such financial statements, (i) Borrower has not entered into any
material transaction or incurred any material liability or obligation,
contingent or otherwise, other than in the ordinary course of business, except
as disclosed to the Lender and (ii) there has not been any material adverse
change in the condition (financial or otherwise), business, net worth or results
of operations of the Borrower or the condition (financial or otherwise) of the
Hotels; and (h) except as described on Schedule 3.23 attached hereto, no
-------------
Mortgaged Property is located in a flood hazard area as defined by the Federal
Insurance Administration (and all Mortgaged Properties described in Schedule
--------
3.23 are covered by flood insurance satisfying the requirements of the
----
applicable Mortgage).
3.24. Access
Each Hotel has access and is contiguous to publicly dedicated streets,
roads or highways, or if not so contiguous, access to and from each Hotel and
publicly dedicated streets, roads or highways is available through private lands
pursuant to valid, perpetual, enforceable and recorded public or private
easements or rights-of-way; and pedestrian and vehicular access to and from each
Hotel via the easements or rights-of-way is not limited or restricted in any
unreasonable manner (except that with respect to the Leasehold Hotels only, the
duration of any such easements may not be perpetual but are at least coterminous
with the terms of the applicable Ground Leases, including all renewal options
whether or not presently exercised).
3.25. No Liens
There are no Liens of any type with respect to any of the Hotels,
except the Liens created by the Loan Documents and the Permitted Liens. There
has been no construction or other activities at any of the Hotels within such
periods of time as would permit the imposition of any mechanics' or
materialmen's Liens on any of the Hotels except as set forth on Schedule 3.25.
-------------
-44-
3.26. Accuracy of Information
To the best knowledge of the Borrower and the General Partner, neither
the Loan Documents nor any document, agreements, instrument, schedule,
certificates, statements, or cash flow schedules (collectively, the "Borrower
Documents") furnished by the Borrower, MII, the Manager, the General Partner or
Host Marriott to the Lender contains any untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. Since the furnishing of the Borrower Documents, there has been no
change nor any development or event involving a prospective change known to the
Borrower or the General Partner which would render any of the Borrower Documents
untrue or misleading in any material respect.
3.27. Mortgages and Security Interests
When executed and delivered, and, if necessary under applicable laws,
recorded, the Mortgages will create valid mortgage, deed of trust, or similar
Liens upon the Mortgaged Properties, the Land underlying them (which, in the
case of Land leased under a Third Party Ground Lease, will be a Lien on the
Borrower's leasehold interest in the Land, in all other cases, will be a Lien on
the Borrower's or Marriott Ground Lessor's, as applicable, fee simple interest
in the Land and, in the case of Land leased under a Marriott Ground Lease, will
also be a Lien on the Borrower's leasehold interest in the Land), and the
Improvements and valid security interests in the fixtures located thereon, and
the Mortgages and accompanying financing statements (if any) will be recorded
and filed in such places as may be required and, where appropriate, applicable
mortgage, transfer, recording and UCC taxes and fees will be paid, such that the
Mortgages will constitute valid first priority mortgage, deed of trust, or
similar Liens on the Land and Mortgaged Properties and will create valid
perfected first priority security interests of record with respect to the
respective Mortgaged Property and related Collateral (except Collateral as to
which a security interest cannot be created and perfected by a Mortgage or the
filing of a financing statement under the U.C.C.), subject only to the Permitted
Liens.
When executed and delivered, and, if necessary under applicable laws,
when appropriate filings of financing statements are made, the Security
Agreement by and between the Borrower and the Lender will create valid first
priority security interests with respect to the Collateral named therein, which
security interests shall be perfected to the extent that security interests in
such Collateral can be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under
the U.C.C.
3.28. Assignments of Leases and Rents
When executed and delivered by the Borrower and the other parties
thereto, the Assignments of Leases and Rents will create a valid assignment of
the Collateral described therein. The Assignments of Leases and Rents, and
accompanying financing statements (if any) will be recorded by the Title Company
and filed in such places as may be required so that all such documents will
create valid assignments of record with respect to the Collateral described
therein, subject only to the Permitted Liens.
-45-
3.29. Foreign Person
The Borrower is not a "foreign person" as defined in Section 1445 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and any regulations promulgated thereunder
(including temporary or proposed regulations).
3.30. No Defaults
No Default or Event of Default exists hereunder or under the other
Loan Documents.
3.31. No Fraudulent Conveyance
Borrower (i) is entering into this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby in good faith and
with no actual intent to disturb, hinder, delay, or defraud any present or
future creditor of the Borrower, the General Partner or any other Person, and
(ii) has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations
under the Loan Documents. After giving effect to the transactions contemplated
by the Loan Documents, the fair salable value of the Borrower's assets exceeds
and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan
Documents, exceed the Borrower's total liabilities, including subordinated,
unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities known to the Borrower. The
fair salable value of the Borrower's assets is and will, immediately following
the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, be greater than the Borrower's
probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities
known to the Borrower or its debts as such debts become absolute and matured.
The Borrower's assets do not and, immediately following the execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital
to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. The
Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe it will, incur debts and
liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its
ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and
amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of the Borrower).
4. CLOSING; CONDITIONS PRECEDENT
The Loan shall be made at a closing (the "Closing") on the Closing
Date. Without limiting the foregoing, the obligation of the Lender to make the
Loan to Borrower and to proceed with the Closing is subject to the satisfaction

the occurrence of the Closing shall be conclusive evidence that all such
conditions have been satisfied in full or knowingly waived):

all material respects the obligations contemplated to be performed by it under
the Management Agreement and each Ground Lease, subject to the provisions of the
Collateral Assignment of Management Agreement and the Ground Lease Rental
Subordination Agreement, and will, with due diligence and in a reasonable and
prudent manner, enforce its rights under the Management Agreement and each
Ground Lease to the extent failure to perform or protect its rights thereunder
might materially and adversely affect the business, operations, prospects,
assets, properties or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower. Without
limiting the foregoing, Borrower agrees that:
(a) Borrower shall at all times promptly and faithfully keep,
perform and comply with, or cause to be kept, performed and complied with,
prior to the expiration of any applicable grace period, the provisions of
the Management Agreement and of each Ground Lease to be complied with by

lessee in or under a Ground Lease or the Land leased thereby.
(c) If any legal action or proceeding shall be instituted to
terminate the Management Agreement or to evict Borrower under, or
terminate, any Ground Lease, or for any other purpose materially affecting
the Management Agreement or any Ground Lease, Borrower will, promptly upon
service thereof on or to it, deliver to the Lender a copy of each petition,
summons, complaint, notice of motion, order to show cause and of all other
provisions, pleadings and papers, however designated, served in any such
action or proceeding. Borrower will consult with the Lender before
instituting suit against the Manager or any lessor under a Ground Lease.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, of the
Management Agreement, or of any Ground Lease, if Borrower shall fail so to
do, the Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) take any such action as
the Lender reasonably deems required to prevent, mitigate or cure, in whole
or in part, any default by Borrower under the Management Agreement or any
Ground Lease, provided that the Lender shall have first given the Borrower
prior written notice of the Lender's intent so to act and a reasonable time
for the Borrower to act to prevent or cure such default and the Borrower
shall have failed so to act, unless the Lender, in its reasonable judgment
determines that there is inadequate time for either such notice or delay in
order to protect the Lender's interest in its security in the Management
Agreement or any such Ground Lease; and upon the receipt by the Lender from
the Borrower, the Manager, or a lessor under a Ground Lease of any written
notice of default by the Borrower under the Management Agreement or any
Ground Lease, the Lender may rely thereon, and such notice shall constitute
full authority and protection to the Lender for any action taken by the
Lender or its agents in good faith reliance thereon (provided the Lender
shall have given the notice of intent to take such action as required in
this paragraph (d)). All expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
incurred by the Lender to prevent, mitigate or cure any such default, or to
sustain the Lien of the Lender on or security interest in the Management
Agreement or the applicable Mortgaged Property, or the priority thereof,
together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate, shall be
deemed secured by the Security Documents and shall be payable within
fifteen (15) days after demand. Nothing in this paragraph (d) shall limit
the Borrower's right under the Management Agreement or any Ground Lease to
contest issues concerning requirements of law or other similar matters to
the extent permitted by the Management Agreement or any Ground Lease.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Lender shall, upon ten (10) days' prior
written notice to Borrower (except in the case
-54-
of an emergency) have the absolute and immediate right (but shall not be
obligated) to enter in and upon the Mortgaged Properties or any part
thereof to such extent and as often as the Lender, in its reasonable
judgment, deems necessary or desirable to prevent or cure any such default
or condition reasonably believed by the Lender to constitute a material
default by the Borrower.
(e) Borrower shall give the Lender prompt notice of the commencement
of, and consult with the Lender in connection with the conduct of, any
arbitration or appraisal proceeding under and pursuant to the provisions of
the Management Agreement or any Ground Lease.
(f) Borrower shall do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to
preserve and keep unimpaired its rights under the Management Agreement and
its rights as lessee under each Ground Lease and will enforce the material
obligations of the Manager under the Management Agreement and of each
lessor under a Ground Lease to the end that it may enjoy all of the rights
granted to it thereunder.
(g) Borrower or the Manager shall establish and maintain with the
Lender, on a consolidated basis with respect to all of the Mortgaged
Properties, the FF&E Reserve Account, and from time to time, in accordance
with Section 8.02B of the Management Agreement, contribute to the FF&E
Reserve Account with respect to each of the Mortgaged Properties the
amounts required by the Management Agreement (subject to the terms of the
Collateral Assignment of Management Agreement). The FF&E Reserve Account
shall be administered in accordance with Section 7 of the Cash Management
Procedures attached as Schedule 5.11 hereto.
-------------
(h) Borrower acknowledges that, pursuant to Section 365 of the
Bankruptcy Code, it is possible (although not intended hereby) that a
trustee in bankruptcy of the lessor under a Ground Lease (or the lessor
under a Ground Lease as a debtor-in-possession) could reject a Ground
Lease, in which case Borrower as lessee under such Ground Lease could have
the election described in Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code (which
election, as it may be amended or revised from time to time, and together
with any comparable right under any other state or federal law relating to
bankruptcy, reorganization or other relief for debtors, whether now or
hereafter in effect, is called the "Election") to treat such Ground Lease
as terminated by such rejection or, in the alternative, to remain in
possession for the balance of the term of such Ground Lease and any renewal
or extension thereof that is enforceable by the lessee under such Ground
Lease under applicable non-bankruptcy law. Borrower shall not terminate or
permit termination of a Ground Lease by exercise of the Election without
the prior written consent of the Lender and any such Election (without the
prior written consent of the Lender) shall be null and void. Because the
Ground Leases are a significant part of the Lender's security for the Loan,
the Lender does not anticipate that it would consent to termination of any
Ground Lease and shall not under any circumstances be obliged to give such
consent. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Election is in the
nature of a remedy and is not a property interest which can exist separate
from the Ground Lease. Therefore, it agrees that exercise of the Election
in favor of preserving the right to possession under any Ground Lease shall
not be deemed to constitute a
-55-
taking or sale of the affected Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties
by the Lender and shall not entitle the Borrower to any credit against the
Lender.
5.4. Financial and Other Information
Furnish to the Lender the Financial Statements, notices, and other
items described below in this Section 5.4 (the "Information") at the times
indicated. Whenever any Financial Statements, notice or other item shall be
stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such Financial Statement,
notice or other item shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day. All
Financial Statements relating to earnings and expenses shall set forth
separately, or otherwise identify all extraordinary and non-recurring items to
the extent required by GAAP. The Borrower will furnish the Lender, at least
once each year, a schedule of the dates on which each Accounting Period in such
Fiscal Year ends, and will notify Lender promptly of any changes in such
Accounting Periods.

reports, if any, filed by Borrower on Form 10-Q for so long as Borrower is

furnish to Lender, as soon as practicable, and in any event within 60 days after
the end of each Accounting Quarter (other than the last Accounting Quarter in
any Fiscal Year), an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Borrower as at the

reports with the SEC on Form 10-Q, setting forth in each case, in comparative
form, the corresponding figures for the corresponding period(s) of the preceding
Borrower Fiscal Year, which statements shall, as a whole, fairly present the
financial position of Borrower as at the end of the periods indicated and the
results of the operations of Borrower for such periods and which shall be
certified by an Authorized Accounting Officer as having been prepared under his
or her supervision in accordance with GAAP, subject to year-end audit
adjustments, and stating that such Authorized Accounting Officer knows of no
facts inconsistent with such Financial Statements and that such Financial
Statements, as a whole, fairly present the financial position of Borrower as of
the end of the periods indicated and the results of the operations of Borrower
for such periods. Any financial statements furnished pursuant to this Section
shall be accompanied by a certificate of an Authorized Accounting Officer
stating that, to his or her knowledge, no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing or, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, a statement as to the nature thereof, the period of its

as amended. For any Fiscal Year for which Borrower is not subject to such
reporting obligations, Borrower shall furnish to Lender, as soon as practicable,
and in any event within 120 days after the end of each Fiscal Year of Borrower,
a consolidated balance sheet of Borrower as at the end of such Fiscal Year and a
consolidated statement of income, partners' capital or deficit and consolidated
cash flow of Borrower for such Fiscal Year, setting forth in each case, in
comparative form, the corresponding figures for the preceding Fiscal Year,
prepared in accordance with GAAP, and in the form that would be required of
Borrower if Borrower were required to file annual reports with the SEC on Form
10-K. Such Financial Statements or reports on Form 10-K, as the case may be,
shall be accompanied by (A) (1) an audit report and opinion in respect of such
Financial Statements of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx & Co., L.L.P. or other independent
certified public accountants of recognized national standing selected by

Lender, and (2) the written statement of the accountants described in clause (1)
that, in making the examination necessary for their report and opinion on such
Financial Statements, they have obtained no knowledge of any condition, event or
act that constitutes a Default or Event of Default, or, if such accountants
shall have obtained such knowledge, a statement as to the nature and status
thereof, and (B) a certificate of an Authorized Accounting Officer, stating that
(1) such Financial Statements have been prepared under his or her supervision in
accordance with GAAP and that he or she knows of no facts inconsistent with such
Financial Statements and (2) to his or her knowledge, no Default or Event of
Default has occurred is continuing or, if a Default or Event of Default has

respect thereto.

6.1. Limitation on Indebtedness
Borrower, General Partner and the Parent (if any) shall not incur,
create or assume any Indebtedness of any kind, provided that Borrower or the
General Partner may incur, create or assume any Permitted Debt and the Parent
may incur, create or assume Parent Debt, provided that the Borrower, the General
Partner or the Parent (as applicable) and the High Yield Lender (in the case of
Parent Debt) or the lender of the Indebtedness (in the case of Permitted Debt)
comply with the "Appointment of Advisor" requirements set forth in Section 4 of
Exhibit C-1 attached hereto, as applicable. The Parent may incur, create or
-----------
assume Parent Debt only to the extent that, immediately after the incurrence of
such Parent Debt, the Consolidated DSCR for the preceding 13 full Accounting
Periods for which financial statements are then available, calculated on a pro
forma basis to give effect to the incurrence of such Parent Debt, would be at
least 1.35 to 1.0 and the Consolidated Loan to Value Ratio would be no greater
than 79.0%. In the case of Parent Debt, at the High Yield Lender's request, the
Lender shall enter into a Parent Debt Intercreditor Agreement substantially in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1, and in the case of Permitted Debt of
-----------
the kind referred to in clause (iv) of the definition thereof, the Lender shall

yet due and payable or due and payable, but not yet delinquent, or that are
being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and as to which
adequate deposits have been made with the Lender as required by this Section
6.2; (iii) deposits or pledges to secure the payment of workmen's compensation,
unemployment insurance or other social security benefits or obligations, or to
secure the performance of trade contracts, leases, public or statutory
obligations, surety or appeal bonds or other obligations of a like general
nature incurred in the ordinary course of business; (iv) landlords', mechanics',
materialmen's, warehousemen's, carriers', or other like Liens arising in the
ordinary course of business securing obligations which are not
-62-
overdue for a period longer than 30 days, or which are being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings which are being diligently pursued (with
deposits having been made with the Lender as required by this Section 6.2) or as
to which the Liens are bonded to the satisfaction of the Lender; (v) easements,
rights of way, zoning, similar restrictions, and other similar encumbrances or
title defects that, singly or in the aggregate, do not in any case materially
detract from the value of the property subject thereto (as such property is used
by the Borrower); (vi) Liens arising by operation of law in connection with
judgments, only to the extent, for an amount, and for a period not resulting in
an Event of Default; (vii) Liens securing capitalized lease obligations insofar
as such Liens cover assets acquired pursuant to such capitalized lease
obligations and such capitalized lease obligations constitute Permitted Debt;
and (vii) Liens securing assets acquired pursuant to purchase money
Indebtedness, which Indebtedness constitutes Permitted Debt (each a "Permitted
Lien" and collectively "Permitted Liens").
In the event Borrower contests the payment of a tax, assessment or
other governmental charge pursuant to clause (ii) above or contests a
landlords', mechanics', materialmen's, warehousemen's, carriers', or other like
Lien pursuant to clause (iv) above, Borrower, prior to the commencement of such
contest and prior to the date such payment would otherwise be due and payable,
shall deposit with the Lender (or, following the assignment contemplated by
Section 9.1 hereof, deposit with the Servicer) an amount equal to 125% of the
amount of the contested payment, to be held in a segregated subaccount of the
Cash Collateral Account. Upon the conclusion of such contest and upon written
request by Borrower accompanied by supporting documentation, the Lender (or the
Servicer) shall disburse from the deposit made by Borrower with the Lender (or
the Servicer) any amounts required to be paid by Borrower and shall remit the
excess to Borrower, all as contemplated by Section 5.11 hereof. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Lender (or the Servicer) may pay over to the appropriate
Person any or all of the funds on deposit with the Lender (or the Servicer)
when, in the Lender's (or the Servicer's) reasonable judgment, the entitlement
of such Person to such funds is firmly established or if necessary to avoid the
foreclosure of a Lien that secures the contested payment.
6.3. Merger or Consolidation; Permitted Reorganization
Neither Borrower nor the General Partner shall be a party to any
merger or consolidation, except in connection with a Permitted Reorganization
that satisfies the requirements of this Section 6.3 (and the General Partner in

connection with the Permitted Reorganization contemplated by Section 6.3.4
hereof, the lessee's general partner or managing member) shall be at least 95%

thereto).

Single Purpose entity that has never conducted any business,
holds no assets other than its partnership interests in Borrower
(and other assets permitted by the proviso following clause
(xiii) of the definition of "Single Purpose") and has no
liabilities other than those arising out of its general partner
interest in Borrower and liabilities arising under the
Partnership Agreement and any liabilities of CBM One, arising
prior to the consummation of such merger, that it has assumed or
for which it has agreed to indemnify CBM One that relate solely
to CBM One being the general partner of Borrower;
(iii) following the consummation of such merger, all of the
partnership interests in Borrower are held by the Parent and the
General Partner;
(iv) counsel to Borrower shall have provided to Lender, and, if the
Securitization has occurred, the applicable Rating Agencies, an
opinion to the effect that, upon the bankruptcy of the Parent or
any Person that owns, directly or indirectly, a 50% or more
equity interest in the Parent or the General Partner, a court
would not have valid legal grounds to order the substantive
consolidation of the assets and liabilities of Borrower or the
General Partner with those of the Parent or such other parties,
which opinion shall be similar in form and substance to the
Substantive Non-Consolidation Opinion delivered to Lender on the
Closing Date;
(v) prior to and following the consummation of such merger, no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing; and
(vi) following the consummation of such merger, the Borrower shall be
a Single Purpose entity.
6.3.2 The Borrower shall be entitled to engage in a Permitted
Reorganization of the kind described in clause (ii) of the definition thereof,
provided that:
(i) the new General Partner shall be a newly formed Single Purpose
entity that has never conducted any business, holds no assets
other than its partnership interests in Borrower (and other
assets permitted by the proviso following clause (xiii) of the
definition of "Single Purpose") and has no liabilities other
than those arising out of its general partner interest in
Borrower and liabilities arising under the Partnership Agreement
and any liabilities of CBM One (or other predecessor General
Partner), arising prior to the consummation of such transaction,
that it has assumed or for which it has agreed to indemnify CBM
One (or such other predecessor) and that relate solely to CBM
One or such other predecessor General Partner being the general
partner of Borrower;
(ii) counsel to Borrower shall have provided to Lender, and, if the
Securitization has occurred, the applicable Rating Agencies an
opinion to the effect that, upon the bankruptcy of the Parent or
any Person that
-64-
owns directly or indirectly a 50% or more equity interest in the
Parent or the General Partner, a court would not have valid
legal grounds to order the substantive consolidation of the
assets and liabilities of Borrower or the General Partner with
those of the Parent or such other parties, which opinion shall
be similar in form and substance to the Substantive Non-
Consolidation Opinion delivered to Lender on the Closing Date;
and
(iii) prior to and following the consummation of such transaction, no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing.

Borrower shall not have or create any subsidiaries other than pursuant
to a Permitted Reorganization. The General Partner shall not engage in any
business or operate for any purpose other than as a general or limited partner
of the Borrower (provided that the General Partner may hold assets permitted by
the proviso following clause (xiii) of the definition of "Single Purpose") and
shall at all times be a Single Purpose entity; provided, however, that it is
understood that, notwithstanding the provisions of clauses (ii), (iii), (v) and
(vi) of the definition of "Single Purpose" contained herein (as such clauses
relate to the period from the date of formation of the General Partner and the
Borrower, as applicable, to the date hereof), (A) separate financial statements
for the General Partner have not heretofore been produced on a regular basis,
but the financial records of the General Partner have been and will remain
adequate to permit production of such separate financial statements (including
balance sheets and statements of income and changes in financial position) for
past periods if it hereafter becomes necessary to produce such financial
statements, and separate financial statements for the General Partner will
hereafter be prepared on an annual basis; (B) because of the limited nature of
the General Partner's operations it has not at all times heretofore maintained
separate deposit accounts in its own name, but it has recently established and
will maintain such accounts, consistent with the covenants contained in Section
5.10(i) hereof; (C) certain transaction and overhead costs incurred by the
Borrower, the General Partner and/or Host Marriott may not heretofore have been
allocated, but such costs hereafter will be fairly allocated; (D) except for (1)
obligations of the Borrower for which it is liable in its capacity as General
Partner and (2) any accrued obligations to Affiliates in connection with the
allocation of costs for shared overhead and office expenses, the General Partner
neither has nor expects to have any debt obligations, and (E) prior to 1989, the
Borrower was not able to make all payments required under the Bank Debt as they
became due, and the Borrower incurred approximately $13 million in liability to
Host Marriott in connection with (or in lieu of) advances by Host Marriott under
a guaranty of the Bank Debt, for which the Borrower remains liable and which
constitutes Permitted Debt of the kind referred to in clause (iv) of the
definition of that term herein. Neither Borrower nor the General Partner will:
(i) seek or consent to any dissolution, winding up, liquidation, consolidation,
merger or sale of all or substantially all of its assets; (ii) fail to correct
any known misunderstanding regarding its separate identity; (iii) commingle its
funds or other assets with those of any other Person (except as specifically
contemplated by the Cash Management Procedures); (iv) assume or guarantee or
become obligated for the debts of any other Person or hold out its credit as
being available to satisfy the obligations of any other Person (other than as
permitted by the Loan Documents); (v) acquire obligations or securities of its
partners or shareholders, as the case may be; (vi) pledge any of its assets for
the benefit of any other Person other than the Lender (except for purchase money
security interests or as otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents); (vii) make
any loans to any other Person (except advances of Permitted Debt by the General
Partner or its Affiliates to the Borrower); (viii) identify its partners or
shareholders, as the case may be, or any of its Affiliates as a division or part
of it (except for inclusion of the Borrower and the General Partner in
consolidated financial statements of Host Marriott); (ix) engage (either as
transferor or transferee) in any
-68-
material transaction with any Affiliate other than for fair value and on terms
similar to those obtainable in arms-length transactions with unaffiliated
parties, or engage in any transaction with any Affiliate involving any intent to
hinder, delay or defraud any entity; (x) engage in any business activity or
operate for any purpose other than as stated in Section 2.03 of its Partnership
Agreement and Article THIRD of the GP Certificate, as applicable, in each case
as in effect on the date hereof or (xi) without the consent of all its directors
or all the directors of its General Partner, as applicable, including the
consent of an Independent Director, file a bankruptcy or insolvency petition or
otherwise institute bankruptcy proceedings. Borrower will not acquire any assets
not related to the business and operation of the Hotels.
6.5. Amendments to Agreements

continues to be part of a comparable nationally recognized hotel system
acceptable to the Lender, and (c) if the Securitization has occurred, each of
the Rating Agencies delivers to the Lender a Rating Comfort Letter with respect
thereto; and provided further that Borrower may cancel, release, terminate,

(y) in compliance with the Loan Documents.
6.5.2.

to any termination, amendment, waiver or supplement of any of the provisions of
the General Partner's organizational or governing documents without the consent
of the Lender (other than in connection with a Permitted Reorganization).

actions:
7.2.1.
To declare the principal of and all amounts accrued but unpaid under
the Mortgage Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with
any associated Yield Maintenance Payment, to be immediately due and payable, and
such amounts shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, without
presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, other than any notice
specifically required by this Section 7.2, all of which are hereby expressly
waived by Borrower.
7.2.2.
Pursue such rights and remedies against the Borrower, or otherwise, as
are provided under and pursuant to this Agreement, the Mortgages or any of the

If the Event of Default involves the Borrower's failure to pay any
tax, assessment, encumbrance or other imposition binding on the Borrower or any
of the Collateral or to perform its obligation to furnish insurance hereunder,
or to perform or observe any other covenant, condition or term in any Loan

hereunder, pay, perform or observe the same, and, in connection therewith, the
Lender shall be entitled to rely on any representations and statements of the
ground lessor under any such Ground Lease or of the Manager under the Management
Agreement in regard to alleged breaches or violations thereof, and all payments
made or costs or expenses incurred by the Lender in connection therewith shall
be repaid by Borrower to the Lender within fifteen (15) days after demand
therefor, together with interest at the Default Interest Rate, and shall be
added to and become a part of the Indebtedness secured by the Mortgages and
other Security Documents. The Lender is hereby empowered to enter and to
authorize others to enter upon any Land and all Improvements located on any Land

permitted under applicable law, a receiver for the Borrower or for all or any
part of the Collateral, whether such receivership be incidental to a proposed

Default Interest Rate, be secured by the Security Documents and shall be due and
payable within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor.
7.3. Remedies Cumulative
Each of the rights, powers, and remedies provided herein are intended
and are hereby deemed to be cumulative, concurrent and in addition to, and not
in limitation of, those rights, powers, and remedies provided elsewhere
hereunder or in any other Loan Document or now or hereafter existing at law or
in equity or by statute or otherwise. No waiver of any Event of Default in one
instance shall constitute a waiver of any other or any succeeding Event of
Default, except to the extent provided in such waiver.
7.4. Default Interest
In addition to the provisions of Section 2 hereof, if Borrower shall
fail to make payment when and as due of any amounts due hereunder (whether at
the stated date for payment, or earlier upon an acceleration hereunder),
Borrower shall pay, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, interest
to the Lender on such past due amounts beginning on the date such payment
becomes past due at a per annum rate of interest (the "Default Interest Rate")
equal to the greater of (a) the Interest Rate in effect from time to time plus
two percentage points (2%) and (b) the Prime Rate. The Borrower acknowledges
that its obligation to pay Default Interest may be separated from the other
obligations of the Borrower hereunder, and may be held or transferred separately
from the other obligations of the Borrower hereunder.
7.5. Default Indemnity
Borrower hereby agrees to, and shall, indemnify and hold harmless the
Lender, against the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) which they may sustain or incur as a
consequence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder and in the enforcement
of the Lender's rights and remedies in connection therewith. Lender shall
provide to Borrower a satisfactory statement, signed by an officer of Lender and
supported, where applicable, by documentary evidence, explaining the amount of
all such costs or expenses. Any amounts that Borrower must pay to Lender under
this Section 7.5 shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate
-75-
and shall be due fifteen (15) days after demand therefor accompanied by
documentation sufficient to establish the amount of Borrower's liability, and
shall be added to and become a part of the Indebtedness secured by the Mortgages
and other Security Documents.
8. INSURANCE
8.1. Maintenance of Insurance
Borrower shall maintain at all times with Qualified Insurance
Companies (a) comprehensive general liability insurance, including broad form
property damage, blanket contractual liability coverage, and coverage for
personal injuries (including death resulting therefrom) containing minimum
limits per occurrence of not less than $20,000,000 (including umbrella
coverage), which insurance shall name the Lender, as an additional insured and
(b) all policies of insurance required under each of the Mortgages, which
policies shall name the Lender, as an additional insured or loss payee, as
applicable, as their interests may appear. Each policy of insurance required
hereunder shall require the insurer to give not less than thirty (30) days'
prior written notice to the Lender in the event of cancellation of such policy
for any reason whatsoever (ten (10) days in the case of non-payment of premium)
and, with respect to property insurance, shall provide that the interest of the
additional insureds or loss payees thereunder shall not be impaired or
invalidated by any act or neglect of Borrower or the owner of any of the insured
property or by the occupation of the premises wherein such property is located
for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by such policy. If Borrower
fails to provide and pay for such insurance, the Lender may, at Borrower's
expense, procure the same, but shall not be required to do so, and any amounts
reasonably expended by the Lender to do so, together with interest at the
Default Interest Rate shall become part of the debt secured by the Security
Documents.
8.2. Payment and Application of Insurance Proceeds
Insurance proceeds payable with respect to damage to or destruction of
any Mortgaged Property or the Improvements related thereto, including damage by
earthquake, if covered by the policy described in clause (a) of Section 8.3
hereof, if in effect, shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the
applicable Mortgage. All other insurance proceeds shall be payable in
accordance with the provisions of the applicable policy.
8.3. Earthquake Insurance
With respect to the Mortgaged Properties located in California,
Borrower agrees to purchase by June 1, 1997, from a Qualified Insurance Company,
a blanket policy of insurance (which policy may also provide coverage for hotels
managed by MII and its Affiliates other than the Mortgaged Properties), if
available at commercially reasonable rates, insuring all of such Mortgaged
Properties against damage by earthquake in an aggregate insured amount not less
than $10,000,000 and having a deductible of not more than five percent (5%) of
the total insured value or as commonly carried by operators of similar
properties and to maintain such insurance in effect thereafter. Pending the
initial
-76-
purchase of such insurance, Borrower shall, no later than April 1, 1997,
establish an escrow account, as a subaccount of the Cash Collateral Account, in
the amount of $1,000,000, which shall be returned to the Borrower at such time
as the required policy is procured (or applied to cover losses from earthquake
if any Mortgaged Property located in California is damaged by earthquake prior
to the time such policy is procured). If such insurance is not available on
commercially reasonable terms, or at any time hereafter is no longer available
on commercially reasonable terms, is canceled by the insurer, or otherwise is
not in effect , the Borrower will promptly obtain from a qualified seismic
engineering firm, with respect to the Mortgaged Properties located in
California, a 100-year study, using reasonable efforts to obtain such report
prior to expiration of the applicable insurance, of the probable maximum loss
(with a scope at least as broad as those performed and delivered in connection
with the Closing pursuant to Section 4.3.14) from earthquakes, which firm and
the scope of which study shall be reasonably acceptable to the Rating Agencies
and the Lender, and promptly upon the issuance of the report of such firm
deposit into a segregated reserve account maintained with the Lender, which
shall be a subaccount of the Cash Collateral Account (the "Earthquake Casualty
Reserve Account"), an amount of cash equal to the aggregate probable maximum
losses at all of the Mortgaged Properties located in California, as stated in
such report, (i) which deposit shall be retained by the Lender for distribution
to Borrower to repair uninsured damage caused by earthquake at any one or more
of the California Mortgaged Properties or for application to repayment of the
Loan, in the same manner and on the same conditions as if the amounts on deposit
from time in the Earthquake Casualty Reserve Account constituted Insurance
Proceeds on deposit in the Insurance Proceeds Subaccount and the necessary
repairs constituted "Restoration" under Section 1.8 of the applicable Mortgage.
All amounts on deposit in the Earthquake Casualty Reserve Account shall be
returned to Borrower upon payment in full of all amounts due under the Loan
Documents or at such time as Borrower obtains the earthquake insurance required
by this Section 8.3.
8.4. Environmental Insurance
With respect to the Mortgaged Property located in San Antonio, Texas,
environmental insurance with limits and coverage reasonably acceptable to Lender
from an insurance company having a minimum A.M. Best Rating of B+/VIII and an
S&P rating of not less than "AA," for an initial period of not less than ten
(10) years after the Closing Date, which shall be renewed annually so as to
remain in effect for the full term of the Loan; provided, however, that if such
insurance is not available from an insurer having an S&P rating of "AA" then
such insurance shall be obtained from an Insurer having the highest S&P rating
available among insurers that issue such insurance; and provided further that,
if such insurance is at any time not available at commercially reasonable rates,
the Borrower may cease carrying such coverage if, but only if, each of the
Rating Agencies shall have delivered a Rating Comfort Letter.

9. SECURITIZATION
9.1. Securitization
The Borrower and the General Partner shall use commercially
reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the Lender in its activities in
connection with the sale of the Loan as a whole loan or any securitization of
the Loan (the "Securitization"), including obtaining ratings by the Rating
Agencies. The Securitization will involve the issuance of rated single- or
multi-class securities secured by or evidencing ownership interests in the Loan
Documents (the "Certificates"). The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, in
connection with the Securitization, (a) this Agreement, the Mortgage Note, the
Security Documents and the other Loan Documents may be assigned, pursuant to the
assignment, to a trustee (the "Trustee"), as trustee under a trust and servicing
agreement (the "Trust and Servicing Agreement") in form substantially similar to
those commonly used in rated commercial mortgage-backed securities offerings and
(b) pursuant to the Trust and Servicing Agreement, a professional loan servicer
of recognized standing (the "Servicer") would be appointed to service the Loan,
this Agreement and the Loan Documents as provided therein. The addresses of the
Trustee and the Servicer will be provided to the Borrower and the Ground Lessors
in writing before the Securitization is consummated. Upon such assignment, the
Trustee shall for all purposes be the sole Lender hereunder and the sole
mortgagee or beneficiary under the Mortgages (and all references herein to the
"Lender" shall be deemed to refer to the Trustee) and shall, together with the
Servicer, among other things, (i) have the sole and exclusive benefit of and the
right and power to exercise, or to direct the exercise of, all the rights and
remedies of the Lender hereunder and under the Security Documents, including the
right to inspect the Collateral, to receive notices and financial information,
to grant or withhold consents or approvals, to benefit from indemnities, to
receive, hold and apply proceeds or any other amount or property provided by the
Borrower hereunder, and, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an
Event of Default, to take any action required or permitted of the Lender with
respect thereto, all in the Trustee's own name, and to exercise all other rights
and remedies of the Lender hereunder and under the Security Documents, and (ii)
be bound by all the terms hereof which apply to the Lender. The Borrower hereby
acknowledges the foregoing and agrees to be bound to the Trustee, upon such
assignment, recognizing the Trustee as the Lender hereunder as if the Trustee
were named in this Agreement as the Lender, recognizing that the Servicer shall
be entitled to act on behalf of the Trustee and the Holders under and as
provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement and shall be entitled to and shall
receive all notices, financial and other information, agreements and other
documents to be delivered to the Lender or the Trustee hereunder or under any of
the other Loan Documents and accepting and agreeing to all of the terms
reasonably set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement and the exhibits
thereto, all of which shall be secured under the Security Documents. Upon such
assignment, the Borrower's obligations to the Lender specified in this Agreement
shall be satisfied by the Borrower's tendering full and timely payment or
performance thereof to the Trustee or, if directed by the Trustee, to the
Servicer. With respect to the delivery of documents and other written material,
the Trustee and the Servicer shall have only the obligations expressly required
of the Lender herein or in the other Loan Documents or of the Trustee or the
Servicer in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. All rights and remedies of the
Trustee as the Lender hereunder, including all indemnities running to the
Lender, shall also operate for the benefit of the Servicer and the Holders, as
provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, and shall be
-78-
exercised by the Trustee and the Servicer in accordance with and subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. The
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, until the Borrower has received notice
from the Trustee to the contrary, and subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in the Trust and Servicing Agreement to the contrary, all deliveries and
notifications to be made by the Borrower to the Trustee, as Lender, pursuant to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made to the Servicer only and
not to the Trustee.
9.2. No Assignment by Borrower
The rights and obligations of Borrower under this Agreement are
personal to Borrower and, accordingly, Borrower shall not assign this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or any other right, interest, or obligation of
Borrower hereunder or thereunder, either in whole or in part, to any Person
whatsoever, other than in connection with a Permitted Reorganization.
9.3. Method of Payment
Following the assignment contemplated by Section 9.1 hereof, Borrower
shall make or cause to be made all payments under the Mortgage Note, and any
other payments required to be made by the Borrower to or on behalf of the Lender
hereunder or pursuant to any other Loan Document, to the Servicer by application
of the provisions of the Cash Management Procedures attached as Schedule 5.11
-------------
hereto or by wire transfer through the Federal Reserve Bank of New York of
immediately available funds in lawful tender of the United States of America, in
accordance with instructions provided by the Servicer, which payments shall be
held and applied by the Servicer in accordance with the Trust and Servicing
Agreement.
10. ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATION
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any
other Loan Document, Lender and any assignee of Lender shall have the right at
any time and from time to time to (a) assign (and thereafter, at any time and
from time to time, repurchase) all or any portion of its rights and obligations
with respect the Loan, including, without limitation, all or any portion of the
outstanding principal balance of the Loan and thereafter be released from its
rights and obligations as Lender in respect of such portion of the Loan (except
to the extent such portion of the Loan is repurchased by the Lender or such
assignee), and (b) sell participations in the Loan. If requested by Lender,
Borrower shall execute and deliver a written acknowledgment acknowledging the
assignment of all or a portion of the Loan to an assignee.
11. MISCELLANEOUS
11.1. Limitation on Liability
Notwithstanding any contrary provision in any of the Loan Documents,
it is hereby expressly agreed that, except as otherwise provided in this Section
11 or in any
-79-
Section of any Loan Document that is substantially similar to this Section 11,
there shall be no recourse to the assets of Borrower or any of its Partners
(other than against the Collateral and any other property given as security for
the payment of the Mortgage Note) for (i) the payment of principal, interest,
Yield Maintenance Payments or other charges under this Agreement or the Mortgage
Note or for any other amount that is or may become due and owing to the Lender
by Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or (ii) the
performance or discharge of any covenant or undertaking hereunder or under the
other Loan Documents, and in the event of any Event of Default hereunder or
thereunder, the Lender agrees to proceed solely against the Collateral and any
other property given as security for payment of the Mortgage Note, and the
Lender shall not seek or claim recourse against Borrower or the General Partner
(other than against the Collateral and any other property given as security for
payment of the Mortgage Note) for any deficiency or for any personal judgment
after a foreclosure of the lien of any of the Mortgages or other Security
Documents or for the performance or discharge of any covenants or undertakings
of Borrower hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (except that
Borrower may be made a party to a proceeding to the extent legally necessary for
the conduct of a foreclosure or the exercise of other similar remedies under the
Mortgages or other Security Documents). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing
contained in this Section 11 shall relieve Borrower or the General Partner of
any personal liability for any loss, cost, expense, damage or liability arising
or resulting from (A) any breach of any representation or warranty made in this
Agreement that was materially incorrect when made and that was made with
fraudulent intent, (B) any amount paid or distributed to the General Partner,
the Limited Partners, the Manager or any Affiliate of any of them in violation
of the provisions of the Loan Documents, (C) fraud or breach of trust, including
misapplication of Loan proceeds or any Insurance Proceeds or Awards or other
sums that are part of the Collateral that may come into the possession or
control of Borrower or the General Partner or any Affiliate of any of them or
(D) liability of such Person under the Environmental Indemnity Agreement. It is
hereby expressly agreed that neither the General Partner nor any director,
officer, shareholder, partner or employee of Borrower or the General Partner,
nor the legal or personal representative, successor or assign of any of the
foregoing, nor any other principal of Borrower or the General Partner, whether
disclosed or undisclosed, shall have any personal liability under this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents, except as personal liability may be
specifically imposed upon the General Partner in accordance with clauses (A),
(B), (C) and (D) of this Section 11, and in no event shall any limited partner
of Borrower have any liability whatsoever with respect to the Loan or any
monetary obligations with respect thereto, or any of the matters described in
clause (A), (B), (C) or (D) above. It is the intention of the parties hereto
that this Section 11 shall govern every other provision of the Loan Documents
and that the absence of explicit reference to this Section 11 in any provision
of the Loan Documents or the absence of any Section similar to this Section 11
in any Loan Document shall not be construed to deny the application of this
Section 11 to such provision, notwithstanding the presence of explicit reference
to this Section 11 in other provisions of the Loan Documents.
11.2. Entire Agreement, Amendments
This Agreement, including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and the
other instruments and documents referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto,
contains the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and
-80-
supersedes all prior oral or written agreements, commitments or understandings
with respect to such matters. No amendment, modification or discharge of this
Agreement shall be valid or binding unless set forth in writing and duly
executed by both parties.
11.3. Notices
All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties

11.4. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies
No delay or failure on the part of any party hereto in exercising any
right, power or privilege under this Agreement or under any other instrument or
document given in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall impair any
such right, power or privilege or be construed as a waiver of any default or any
acquiescence therein. No single or partial exercise of any such right, power or
privilege shall preclude the further exercise of such right, power or privilege,
or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver shall be
valid against any party hereto unless made in writing and signed by the party
against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought and then only to the extent
expressly specified therein. The rights and remedies herein provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
11.5. Waiver of Jury Trial
Each of the parties hereto (i) covenants and agrees not to elect
trial by jury of any issue triable of right by a jury and (ii) waives any rights
to trial by jury to the full extent that any such right shall now or hereafter
exist. This waiver of right to trial by jury is separately given, knowingly and
voluntarily, by each party hereto, and this waiver is intended to encompass
individually each instance and each issue as to which the right to a jury trial
would otherwise accrue. The parties are hereby authorized to submit this
Agreement to any court having jurisdiction over the subject matter so as to
serve as conclusive evidence of the other party's herein contained waiver of the
right to jury trial. Further, each party hereto certifies that no representative
of the other party (including such other party's counsel) has represented,
expressly or otherwise, to that party, that the other party will not seek to
enforce this waiver by the such certifying party of the right to a jury trial.
11.6. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York (but not including the choice of law rules
thereof). In the event of any litigation arising out of this Loan Agreement,
Borrower agrees that the substantive law of the State of New York shall apply.
Borrower hereby consents to jurisdiction within the State of New York for
purposes of such litigation and agrees that service of process may be made, and
personal jurisdiction over Borrower obtained, by serving a copy of the summons
and complaint upon Borrower, at the notice address set forth herein, in
accordance with the applicable laws of the State of New York. Nothing herein
contained, however, shall prevent any owner or holder of the Mortgage Note from
bringing any action or exercising any right against any security or against
Borrower,
-82-
personally, or against any property of Borrower, within any other jurisdiction
or state. Initiating such proceeding or taking such action in any other
jurisdiction or state shall not, however, constitute a waiver of the agreement
contained herein that the laws of the State of New York shall govern the rights
and obligations of the parties hereunder.
11.7. Payment of Expenses
11.7.1.
Borrower shall pay all expenses incurred by Lender in connection with
this Agreement and in the preparation for, and consummation of, the transactions

initial rating fees and ongoing activity of any special Servicer incurred as a
result of an Event of Default, bank charges relating to the operation of the
Operating Account, the Lockbox Account, the FF&E Reserve Account, the Cash

incurred by the parties in connection with such transactions. In addition, the
Borrower shall reimburse the Lender for any expenses incurred by the Lender to
the extent provided in Section 4.8 hereof.
11.7.2.
Except as provided in Section 11.7.1, if the Securitization occurs,
the Servicer Fee (as defined in the Trust and Servicing Agreement) and the
Trustee Fee (as defined in the Trust and Servicing Agreement) and any other
amounts required to be paid to the Servicer or the Trustee under the Trust and
Servicing Agreement in reimbursement of expenses of the Servicer or the Trustee
shall be paid by the Lender or the Trust Fund (the "Trust Fund") created under
the Trust and Servicing Agreement.
11.8. Severability
In the event that any term or provision of this Agreement or of any
other Loan Document or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance
shall, to any extent, be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of
such term or provision or the application thereof to Persons or circumstances
other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be
affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid
and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
-83-
11.9. Gender, Etc.
Whenever used herein and where the context so requires, the singular
shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and the use of
the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall include all genders; and the word
"including" shall mean "including, without limitation."
11.10. Headings
The Article, Section and Subsection headings of this Agreement are
for convenience of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any
of the terms hereof.
11.11. Counterparts; Facsimiles
This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, none of
which need contain the signatures of all parties, each of which shall be deemed
to be an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the
same instrument. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to
produce or account for more than the number of counterparts containing the
respective signatures of, or on behalf of, all of the parties hereto. In the
event the parties hereto exchange signature pages of this Agreement by
facsimile, they agree to send the original executed counterparts of this
Agreement to one another by overnight delivery service, but the facsimile
signatures shall in any event be binding.
11.12. No Third Party Beneficiary
The parties do not intend the benefits of this Agreement to inure to
any third party other than the Trust (and the Servicer and Trustee on behalf of
the Trust), upon assignment hereof by the Lender to the Trustee, on behalf of
the Trust, as contemplated by Section 9.1 hereof. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein or in the Mortgage Note or any other Loan Document to the
contrary, or any conduct or course of conduct by any or all of the parties
hereto, before or after signing this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, nothing herein shall be construed as creating any right, claim or
cause of action against the Lender, or any of the Lender's officers, directors,
agents or employees, in favor of any materialman, supplier, contractor,
subcontractor, purchaser or lessee of any property owned by Borrower any other
person or entity other than Borrower.
11.13. No Liability of Lender
The relationship between Borrower and the Lender is, and shall at
all times remain, solely that of borrower and lender, and the Lender will not
undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to Borrower to review, inspect,
supervise, pass judgment upon, or inform Borrower of any matter in connection
with any phase of Borrower's business, operations, or condition, financial or
otherwise. Borrower shall rely entirely upon its own judgment with respect to
such matters, and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment, or
information supplied to Borrower by the Lender in connection with any such
-84-
matter is for the protection of the Lender, and neither Borrower nor any third
party is entitled to rely thereon.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement or
have caused this Agreement to be executed on their behalf as of the day and year
first above written.
