in this Section 2.7(b).
(c) On and after the Optional Prepayment Date, Borrower may
voluntarily prepay the Loan in whole or, if no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, in part, and there shall be no Yield Maintenance Premium or
penalty assessed against Borrower by reason thereof.
(d) All prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be
applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8.
(e) Any prepayment of the Loan by Borrower is required to be
made on a Payment Date.
(f) Borrower shall not be permitted at any time to prepay all or
any part of the Loan except as expressly provided in this Section 2.7.
Section 2.8. Application of Payments. Prior to the occurrence and
continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of any repayment, including
prepayments, of the
39
Loan shall be applied to pay: first, any costs and expenses of Lender,
including, without limitation, the Lender's reasonable attorney's fees and
disbursements actually arising as a result of such repayment or reasonably
expended by Lender to protect the Collateral; second, accrued and unpaid
interest at the Initial Interest Rate; third, to the Principal Indebtedness (but
not to Accrued Interest or interest thereon); fourth, to Accrued Interest and
interest accrued thereon; and fifth, any other amounts then due and owing under
the Loan Documents; provided, however, that any payment of the Casualty Return
of Buy-Up Payment, the Condemnation Return of Buy-Up Payment, or the Event of
Default Return of Buy-Up Payment shall be for Lender's own account to be applied
in any manner Lender determines in its discretion. After the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of repayment,
including any payment or recovery on the Collateral shall, unless otherwise
provided in the Mortgages, be applied to amounts which Borrower is obligated to
pay under the Loan Documents in such order and in such manner as Lender shall
elect in its sole discretion.
Section 2.9. Payment of Debt Service, Method and Place of Payment.
(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all
payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to
Lender not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due and
shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in federal or
other immediately available funds to an account specified to Borrower by Lender
in writing, and any funds received by Lender after such time, for all purposes
hereof, shall be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
(b) All payments made by Borrower hereunder or by Borrower under
the other Loan Documents, shall be made irrespective of, and without any
deduction for, any set-offs or counterclaims.
(c) Unless a Cash Management Event has occurred and is
continuing, Borrower shall pay to the Lender or its designee, on or prior to
each Payment Date, the Required Debt Service Payment for such Payment Date, the
Basic Carrying Costs Monthly Installment for the Interest Accrual Period
immediately preceding such Payment Date and the Capital Reserve Monthly
Installment for the Interest Accrual Period immediately preceding such Payment
Date. If a Cash Management Event has occurred and is continuing, the Collection
Account Bank, shall transfer to Lender all amounts due under the Loan Documents
(and all other amounts in the Collection Account pursuant to the Collection
Account Agreement and Section 2.12 hereof).
Section 2.10. Taxes. All payments made by Borrower under this
Agreement and under the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of,
and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future
income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions
or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or
assessed by any Governmental Authority (other than taxes imposed on the
40
income of Lender).
Section 2.11. Defeasance Requirements. (a) Subject to Section 2.6,
the Loan may be defeased (A) in whole, or (B) in part, but only pursuant to
Section 5.1(b)(P); provided that Operator: (i) provides, in the case of a
defeasance pursuant to Section 5.1(b)(P), not less than ten (10) days', and, in
all other cases, not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to the
Lender specifying a Payment Date (the "Defeasance Release Date") on which the
payments provided in clauses (ii) and (iii) below are to be made and the deposit
provided in clause (iv) below is to be made, (ii) pays all interest accrued and
unpaid on the Principal Indebtedness to and including the Defeasance Release
Date, (iii) pays all other sums then due and payable under the Loan Documents,
(iv) deposits with the Lender an amount equal to the Defeasance Deposit, (v)
intentionally omitted, (vi) intentionally omitted, and (vii) delivers to the
Lender (A) a security agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to Lender, creating a first priority perfected Lien on the deposits required
pursuant to this Section and the U.S. Obligations purchased on behalf of
Borrower in accordance with this Section (the "Security Agreement"), (B) for
execution by the Lender, a release of the Mortgaged Property from the liens of
the Mortgages and the Assignments of Leases and the other Loan Documents
(including, without limitation, liens on fixtures) in a form appropriate for the
jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located, (C) an Officer's
Certificate of Operator certifying that the requirements set forth in this
Section have been satisfied, (D) an opinion of counsel from Borrower's or
Operator's counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lender
stating, among other things, (x) that, without qualification, the U.S.
Obligations have been duly and validly assigned and delivered to Lender and
Lender has a first priority perfected security interest on the deposits required
pursuant to this Section and a first priority perfected lien on the U.S.
Obligations and the proceeds thereof purchased hereunder and (y) that the
defeasance will not adversely affect the status of any REMIC formed in
connection with a Securitization, and (E) such other certificates, documents or
instruments as the Lender may reasonably request including, without limitation,
(x) written confirmation from the relevant Rating Agencies that such defeasance
will not cause any Rating Agency to withdraw, qualify or downgrade the then-
applicable rating on any security issued in connection with any Securitization
and (y) a certificate from an Independent certified public accountant certifying
that the amounts of the U.S. Obligations comply with all of the requirements of
this Loan Agreement. The U.S. Obligations shall mature on or be redeemable, or
provide for payment thereon, on or prior to the Business Day preceding the date
on which payments under the Note are due and payable and the proceeds thereof
shall be payable directly to the Cash Collateral Account. In connection with the
foregoing, Borrower and Operator each appoints the Lender as its agent for the
purpose of applying the amounts delivered pursuant to clause (iv) above to
purchase U.S. Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, in the event the Yield Maintenance Premium is due as a result of the
acceleration of the Indebtedness after the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Lender shall have the right to receive and collect the Yield Maintenance Premium
but shall have no obligation to purchase U.S.
41
Obligations or otherwise comply with this Section 2.11. Upon a complete
defeasance of the Loan in accordance with this Section 2.11 and subject to
Section 2.11(c), Lender's recourse shall be limited to the U.S. Obligations
purchased with the Defeasance Deposit and the proceeds thereof.
(b) Upon compliance with the requirements of this Section 2.11
in the event of a total defeasance of the Loan, the Mortgaged Property as to
which the defeasance has been consummated shall be released from the liens of
the Mortgages and all other Collateral which has been pledged as security for
the Loan shall be released from all the other Loan Documents. In connection with
a defeasance of the Loan, Borrower may be required by Lender to assign its
obligations under the Note, the other Loan Documents and the Security Agreements
together with the pledged U.S. Obligations to such other entity or entities
established or designated by Lender (the "Successor Obligor"). Such Successor
Obligor shall assume the obligations under the Note, the other Loan Documents
and the Security Agreements and, upon such assignment Borrower and Operator
shall be relieved of their respective obligations thereunder.
(c) Nothing in this Section 2.11 shall release Operator from any
liability or obligation relating to any environmental matters arising under
Sections 4.1(d)(U) or 5.1(b)(D)-(I), inclusive, hereof.
Section 2.12. Central Cash Management. (a) Collection Account and
Security Deposit Account.
(i) Borrower and Operator shall open and maintain at the
Collection Account Bank two (2) trust accounts (the "Collection Account"
and the "Security Deposit Account", respectively).
(ii) The Collection Account shall be assigned an identification
number by the Collection Account Bank and shall be opened and maintained in
the name "Nomura Asset Capital Corporation as Mortgagee of Brookdale Living
Communities of Florida, Inc., d/b/a The Classic at West Palm
Beach/Collection Account." Borrower and Operator shall not have any right
of withdrawal from the Collection Account. Operator shall direct all
tenants and subtenants of the Facility to deposit all lease payments,
Rents, Moneys and other items of Gross Revenue (other than security
deposits) directly into the Collection Account and shall cause all relevant
checks to be made payable to the name of the Collection Account. Without in
any way limiting Borrower's or Operator's obligations pursuant to the
preceding two (2) sentences, Borrower and Operator shall deposit directly
into the Collection Account all Rents, Moneys or other items of Gross
Revenue (other than security deposits and, prior to a Cash Management
Event, the FBTC Basic Rent and Lessor Basic Rent (each as defined in the
Operator Lease)) received by
42
Borrower or Operator in violation or contradiction of the preceding two (2)
sentences within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof.
(iii) The Security Deposit Account shall be assigned an
identification number by the Collection Account Bank and shall be opened
and maintained in the name "Nomura Asset Capital Corporation as Mortgagee
of Brookdale Living Communities of Florida, Inc., d/b/a The Classic at West
Palm Beach/Security Deposit Account." Borrower will direct the Operator to,
and the Operator shall, deposit all security deposits with respect to the
Facility directly into the Security Deposit Account and shall cause all
relevant checks to be made payable to the name of the Security Deposit
Account. Without in any way limiting the obligations of Borrower or
Operator pursuant to the preceding sentence, Borrower and Operator shall
deposit directly into the Security Deposit Account all security deposits
received by Borrower or Operator in violation or contradiction of the
preceding sentence, within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof.
Borrower and Operator shall not have any right of withdrawal from the
Security Deposit Account except that, prior to the occurrence of an Event
of Default, Operator may withdraw funds from the Security Deposit Account
in accordance with the Collection Account Agreement. Operator may designate
a new financial institution to serve as a Collection Account Bank if
approved by Lender in Lender's reasonable discretion. If any Collection
Account Bank resigns pursuant to the terms of any Collection Account
Agreement, Operator shall replace such Collection Account Bank with a bank
and documentation acceptable to Lender prior to the date that such
resignation becomes effective pursuant to such Collection Account
Agreement.
(iv) Any breach of this Section by Borrower or Operator shall be
an Event of Default
(b) Payments. Prior to the occurrence of a Cash Management
Event, Borrower shall pay to Lender or Lender's designee or to an account
identified by Lender or Lender's designee on or prior to each Payment Date, the
Required Debt Service Payment for such Payment Date, the Basic Carrying Costs
Monthly Installment for the Interest Accrual Period immediately preceding such
Payment Date and the Capital Reserve Monthly Installment for the Interest
Accrual Period immediately preceding such Payment Date. After the occurrence of
a Cash Management Event, pursuant to the Collection Account Agreement between
the Collection Account Bank, Borrower and Lender (the "Collection Account
Agreement"), Borrower and Operator will authorize and direct the Collection
Account Bank to transfer on a daily basis all funds deposited in the Collection
Account for the Facility to Lender or Lender's designee to be held in an
Eligible Account established by Lender or Lender's designee (the "Cash
Collateral Account"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event funds in the
Collection Account are being transferred to the Cash Collateral Account as
described in the foregoing sentence due to the
43
occurrence of a Cash Management Event described in clauses (i) through (iv) of
the definition of the term "Cash Management Event", on the date which is twelve
(12) months after the occurrence of such Cash Management Event and provided no
Cash Management Event exists on such date, the funds shall not be transferred to
Lender or Lender's designee for deposit into the Cash Collateral Account but
shall be transferred to an account designated by Borrower until a Cash
Management Event occurs in which event the funds in the Collection Account shall
be transferred to the Cash Collateral Account pursuant to the foregoing
sentence. The Cash Collateral Account shall be under the sole dominion and
control of Lender. Neither Borrower nor Operator shall have any right of
withdrawal in respect to the Cash Collateral Account.
(c) Establishment of Sub-Accounts. The Cash Collateral Account
shall contain a Debt Service Payment Sub-Account, a Basic Carrying Costs Sub-
Account, a Capital Reserve Sub-Account, a Securitization Expense Sub-Account, an
Operating Expense Sub-Account, Trustee Expense Sub-Account and a FBTC Payment
Sub-Account each of which accounts (individually, a "Sub-Account" and
collectively, the "Sub-Accounts") shall be an Eligible Account to which certain
funds shall be allocated and from which disbursements shall be made pursuant to
the terms of this Loan Agreement.
(d) Permitted Investments. Upon the written request of
Operator, which request may be made once per Interest Accrual Period, Lender
shall direct (x) the Cash Collateral Account Bank to invest and reinvest any
balance in the Cash Collateral Account from time to time in Permitted
Investments as instructed by Operator and (y) the Collection Account Bank to
invest and reinvest any balance in the Security Deposit Account from time to
time in Permitted Investments as instructed by Operator, to the extent permitted
by local law; provided, however, that (i) if Operator fails to so instruct
Lender, or if an Event of Default shall have occurred, Lender may direct the
Cash Collateral Account Bank and the Collection Account Bank, as applicable, to
invest and reinvest such balance in Permitted Investments as Lender shall
determine in Lender's sole discretion, (ii) the maturities of any Permitted
Investment on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account shall, to the extent such
dates are ascertainable, be selected and coordinated to become due not later
than the day before any disbursements from the Sub-Accounts must be made, (iii)
all such Permitted Investments shall be held in the name and be under the sole
dominion and control of Lender; (iv) no Permitted Investment shall be made
unless Lender shall retain a perfected first priority Lien in such Permitted
Investment securing the Indebtedness and all filings and other actions necessary
to ensure the validity, perfection, and priority of such Lien have been taken;
(v) Lender shall only be required to follow the investment instructions which
were most recently received by Lender and Borrower and Operator shall be bound
by such last received investment instructions; and (vi) any written request from
Operator containing investment instructions shall contain an Officer's
Certificate from Operator (which may be conclusively relied upon by Lender and
its agents) that any such investments constitute Permitted Investments. It is
the intention of the parties hereto that all amounts deposited in the
44
Cash Collateral Account and the Security Deposit Account shall at all times be
invested in Permitted Investments. All funds in the Security Deposit Account and
the Cash Collateral Account that are invested in a Permitted Investment are
deemed to be held in such accounts for all purposes of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents. Lender shall have no liability for any loss in investments
of funds in the Security Deposit Account or the Cash Collateral Account that are
invested in Permitted Investments (unless invested contrary to Operator's
request other than after the occurrence of an Event of Default) and no such loss
shall affect Borrower's obligation to fund, or liability for funding, the Cash
Collateral Account and each Sub-Account, as the case may be. Borrower, Operator
and Lender agree that Operator shall include all such earnings and losses (other
than those for Lender's account in accordance with the immediately preceding
sentence) on the Cash Collateral Account as income of Operator for federal and
applicable state tax purposes. Borrower shall be responsible for any and all
fees, costs and expenses with respect to Permitted Investments.
(e) Interest on Accounts. All interest paid or other earnings on the
Permitted Investments made hereunder shall be deposited into the Security
Deposit Account or the Cash Collateral Account, as applicable, and shall be
subject to allocation and distribution like any other monies deposited therein.
(f) Payment of Basic Carrying Costs, Debt Service, Capital Improvement
Costs, Securitization Expenses, Operating Expenses, Trustee Fees and FBTC
Required Quarterly Payment.
(i) Payment of Basic Carrying Costs. At least five (5) Business Days
prior to the due date of any Basic Carrying Cost, and not more frequently
than once each Interest Accrual Period, Operator shall notify Lender in
writing and request that Lender pay such Basic Carrying Cost on behalf of
Borrower and Operator on or prior to the due date thereof. Together with
each such request, Operator shall furnish Lender with copies of bills and
other documentation as may be reasonably required by Lender to establish
that such Basic Carrying Cost is then due. Lender shall make such payments
out of the Basic Carrying Cost Sub-Account before the same shall be
delinquent to the extent that there are funds available in the Basic
Carrying Cost Sub-Account and Lender has received appropriate documentation
to establish the amount(s) due and the due date(s) as and when provided
above.
(ii) Payment of Debt Service. At or before 12:00 noon, New York City
time, on each Payment Date during the term of the Loan, Lender shall
transfer to Lender's own account from the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account
an amount equal to the Required Debt Service Payment for the applicable
Payment Date. Borrower shall be deemed to have timely made the Required
Debt Service Payment pursuant to Section 2.9
45
regardless of the time Lender makes such transfer as long as sufficient
funds are on deposit in the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account at 12:00 noon,
New York City time on the applicable Payment Date.
(iii) Payment of Capital Improvement Costs. Not more frequently than
once each Interest Accrual Period and provided that no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Operator may notify Lender in writing and
request that Lender release to Operator or its designee funds out of the
Capital Reserve Sub-Account to the extent funds are available therein for
payment of Capital Improvement Costs. Together with each such request,
Operator shall furnish Lender with copies of bills and other documentation
as may be reasonably required by Lender to establish that such Capital
Improvement Costs are reasonable, that the work relating thereto has been
completed and that such amounts are then due or have been paid. If Lender
approves of such Capital Improvement Costs, Lender shall release the funds
to Operator or its designee within ten (10) Business Days of Lender's
receipt of Operator's written request. Upon completion of the repairs and
environmental remediation to the Facility itemized on Exhibit C hereto,
Operator may provide Lender with the documentation described in this
paragraph and subject to the terms set forth in this paragraph, Lender
shall release the remainder of the Initial Capital Reserve Amount, to the
extent such funds have not been released to Operator.
(iv) Payment of Securitization Expenses. To the extent funds are
available therein to pay the amounts for which Operator or Borrower is
responsible pursuant to Section 2.14, Lender may release funds out of the
Securitization Expense Sub-Account to (a) pay such amounts or, (b) after
Lender has paid all of the amounts for which Borrower is responsible
pursuant to Section 2.14, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is
then continuing, to remit to Operator all amounts remaining in the
Securitization Expense Sub-Account.
(v) Payment of Operating Expenses. On and after the Optional
Prepayment Date, not more frequently than once each Interest Accrual Period
and provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing,
Lender shall direct the Cash Collateral Account Bank to, within five (5)
Business Days of Lender's receipt of an Operating Expense Certificate from
Operator, such Operating Expense Certificate to be delivered by Operator
not more frequently than once each Interest Accrual Period, transfer funds
to Operator or its designee out of the Operating Expense Sub-Account to the
extent that there are funds available therein in an amount not to exceed
the amount stated in the Operating Expense Certificate up to the Operating
Expense Monthly Installment. Together with each such Operating Expense
Certificate, Operator shall furnish Lender with an Officer's Certificate
stating that all operating expenses from the
46
second previous Interest Accrual Period and all Interest Accrual Periods
prior thereto have been paid in full and that such amounts are then due or
have been paid.
(vi) Extra Funds for Operating Expenses. On and after the Optional
Prepayment Date, not more frequently than once each Interest Accrual Period
and provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing if in
a given Interest Accrual Period, the Operator requires amounts in excess of
the Operating Expense Monthly Installment ("Extra Funds"), Operator, at the
time it delivers the Operating Expense Certificate, may deliver a written
request to Lender for a disbursement of Extra Funds stating the amount of
such Extra Funds and the purpose for which such amount is intended with
attachments of copies of bills and other documentation as may be required
by Lender to establish that such Operating Expenses are reasonable and that
such amounts are then due or expected to become due in that month. If
Lender approves of such costs (such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld), Lender shall release the funds to Operator or its designee
within ten (10) Business Days of Lender's receipt of Operator's written
request.
(vii) Reconciliation. Operator shall furnish Lender monthly, on each
Payment Date on and after the Optional Prepayment Date, a budget variance
report reconciling the Operating Expenses shown on the Annual Operating
Budget with requested disbursements for payment of Operating Expenses
pursuant to Section 2.12(f).
(viii) Payment of Trustee Expenses. Borrower or Borrower's Trustee may
notify Lender in writing and request Lender to pay to Borrower's Trustee
funds out of the Trustee Expense Sub-Account for the payment of amounts due
to Borrower's Trustee under the Trust Agreement. Lender shall release such
funds to Borrower's Trustee within five (5) Business Days of the written
request for such amounts (which written request shall be accompanied by
such documentation as Lender may reasonably request).
(ix) Payment of FBTC Required Quarterly Payment. Provided that no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, on each FBTC Payment Date
during the term of the Operator Lease, Lender shall transfer to Borrower by
wire transfer pursuant to instructions given to Lender by Borrower from the
FBTC Payment Sub-Account an amount equal to the FBTC Required Quarterly
Payment for such FBTC Payment Date plus any FBTC Required Quarterly Payment
that was due and owing on any previous FBTC Payment Date which was not paid
(and any interest payable thereon pursuant to the Operator Lease) to FBTC
to the extent that there are funds available in the FBTC Payment Sub-
Account.
(g) Monthly Funding of Sub-Accounts. During each Interest Accrual
47
Period and except as provided below, during the term of the Loan commencing with
the Interest Accrual Period in which the Closing Date occurs (each, the "Current
Interest Accrual Period"), Lender shall allocate all funds then on deposit
(irrespective of whether such funds were transferred by the Collection Account
Bank to the Cash Collateral Account Bank or by Borrower to the Lender pursuant
to Section 2.9(c)) in the Cash Collateral Account among the Sub-Accounts as
follows and in the following priority:
(i) first, to the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account, until an amount
equal to the Basic Carrying Costs Monthly Installment for the Current
Interest Accrual Period has been allocated to the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-
Account;
(ii) second, to the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account, until an
amount equal to the Required Base Debt Service Payment for the Payment Date
immediately after the Current Interest Accrual Period has been allocated to
the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account;
(iii) third, to the Capital Reserve Sub-Account, until an amount
equal to the Capital Reserve Monthly Installment for the Current Interest
Accrual Period has been allocated to the Capital Reserve Sub-Account;
(iv) fourth, to the Securitization Expense Sub-Account, provided,
however, that only the Initial Securitization Expense Amount shall be
allocated to the Securitization Sub-Account;
(v) fifth, to the Trustee Expense Sub-Account until an amount equal
to the Trustee Expense Monthly Installment has been allocated to the
Trustee Expense Sub-Account;
(vi) sixth, on and after the Optional Prepayment Date, or at
Lender's sole election, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, any
date on or after the occurrence of such Event of Default and during the
continuance thereof, to the Operating Expense Sub-Account, until an amount
equal to the Operating Expense Monthly Installment for the Current Interest
Accrual Period has been allocated to the Operating Expense Sub-Account; and
(vii) seventh, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Lender agrees that in each Current Interest Accrual Period any
amounts deposited into or remaining in the Cash Collateral Account after
(A) the minimum amounts set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v)
and (vi) above have been satisfied with respect to the Current Interest
Accrual Period and any periods prior thereto and (B) the
48
funding of additional reserves at levels determined by Operator to be
prudent for working capital, Capital Improvement Costs and other Borrower
or Operator costs, which levels shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender,
in Lender's reasonable discretion, prior to the Optional Prepayment Date,
to the FBTC Payment Sub-Account, until an amount equal to the FBTC Required
Quarterly Payment for the next FBTC Payment Date plus any FBTC Required
Quarterly Payment that was due and owing on any previous FBTC Payment Date
(plus interest payable thereon pursuant to the Operator Lease) which was
not paid to FBTC has been allocated to the FBTC Payment Sub-Account;
(viii) eighth, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing and (ii) Lender has received all financial information
described in Sections 5.1(a)(Q) and 5.1(b)(Q) for the most recent periods
for which the same are due, Lender agrees that in each Current Interest
Accrual Period any amounts deposited into or remaining in the Cash
Collateral Account after the minimum amounts set forth in clauses (i),
(ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) above have been satisfied with
respect to the Current Interest Accrual Period and any periods prior
thereto, shall be disbursed by Lender on the first Payment Date after the
end of the then Current Interest Accrual Period, at Borrower's expense, to
such account that Operator may request in writing. Lender and its agents
shall not be responsible for monitoring Operator's use of any funds
disbursed from the Cash Collateral Account or any of the Sub-Accounts.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, on and after
the Optional Prepayment Date, any amounts deposited into or remaining in
the Cash Collateral Account after (A) the minimum amounts set forth in
clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) above have been
satisfied with respect to the Current Interest Accrual Period and any
periods prior thereto and (B) the funding of additional reserves at levels
determined by Operator to be prudent for working capital, Capital
Improvement Costs and other Borrower or Operator costs, which levels shall
be reasonably satisfactory to Lender, in Lender's reasonable discretion
(the "Excess Cash Flow"), shall be allocated to the Debt Service Sub-
Account and be applied by Lender on each Payment Date in accordance with
Section 2.8 and shall not be disbursed to Borrower or Operator; and further
provided, however, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing any amounts deposited into or remaining in the Cash Collateral
Account shall be for the account of Lender and may be withdrawn by Lender
to be applied to amounts payable by Borrower and/or Operator under the Loan
Documents in any manner as Lender may elect in Lender's sole discretion.
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if on any
Payment Date the balance in any Sub-Account is insufficient to make the required
payment due from such Sub-Account, Lender may, in its sole discretion, in
addition to any other rights and remedies available hereunder, withdraw funds
from any other Sub-Account to pay such deficiency. In the event that Lender
elects to apply funds of any such Sub-Account to pay any Required Base Debt
Service
49
Payment, Borrower shall, upon demand, repay to Lender the amount of such
withdrawn funds to replenish such Sub-Account, and if Borrower shall fail to
repay such amounts within two (2) Business Day after notice of such withdrawal,
an Event of Default shall exist hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, Borrower shall deposit on the Closing Date (i) the
Initial Basic Carrying Costs Amount into the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account,
(ii) the Initial Capital Reserve Amount into the Capital Reserve Sub-Account and
(iii) the Initial Securitization Expense Amount into the Securitization Expense
Sub-Account.
(h) Condemnation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds. In the event of a
Taking with respect to the Facility, Borrower and Operator shall cause all the
proceeds in respect of any Taking ("Condemnation Proceeds") to be paid to the
Lender who shall, except as otherwise provided in the second succeeding sentence
or in Section 2.12(c) of the Mortgage or the Leasehold Mortgage, apply such
Condemnation Proceeds to reduce the Indebtedness in accordance with Section 2.7
and Section 2.8. In the event of a casualty with respect to the Facility, except
as otherwise provided in the next sentence or in Section 2.5 of the Mortgage or
the Leasehold Mortgage, Borrower and Operator, as applicable, shall cause all
Proceeds of any insurance policy maintained by either Borrower or Operator, as
applicable ("Insurance Proceeds") to be paid to the Lender who shall apply such
Insurance Proceeds to reduce the Indebtedness in accordance with Section 2.7 and
Section 2.8. All Insurance Proceeds received by Borrower, Operator or Lender in
respect of business interruption coverage and all Condemnation Proceeds received
in respect of a temporary Taking shall be maintained in the Cash Collateral
Account, to be applied by Lender in the same manner as Rents (other than
security deposits) received from Borrower and/or Operator with respect to the
ownership and/or operation of the Facility; provided, further, that in the event
that the Insurance Proceeds of any such business interruption insurance policy
or Condemnation Proceeds of such temporary Taking are paid in a lump sum in
advance, Lender shall hold such Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in a
segregated interest-bearing escrow account at the Cash Collateral Account Bank,
and Lender shall estimate the number of months required for Operator to restore
the damage caused by the casualty to the Facility or that the Facility will be
affected by such temporary Taking, as the case may be, shall divide the
aggregate business interruption Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in
connection with such casualty or temporary Taking by such number of months, and
shall disburse from such escrow account into the Cash Collateral Account each
month during the performance of such restoration or pendency of such temporary
Taking such monthly installment of said Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation
Proceeds. Any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds made available to
Operator for restoration or repair in accordance herewith and with the Mortgage
or Leasehold Mortgage, to the extent not used by Operator in connection with, or
to the extent they exceed the cost of, such restoration, shall be paid to
Operator.
(i) Payment of Basic Carrying Costs. Except to the extent that Lender
is
50
obligated to pay Basic Carrying Costs from the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account
pursuant to the terms of Section 2.12(f), Borrower and Operator shall pay all
Basic Carrying Costs with respect to themselves and the Facility in accordance
with the provisions of the Mortgages, subject, however, to Borrower's and
Operator's rights to contest payment of same in accordance with the Mortgages.
The obligation of Borrower and Operator to pay (or cause Lender to pay) Basic
Carrying Costs pursuant to this Agreement shall include, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, Impositions resulting from future changes in law which impose
upon Lender an obligation in connection with the Loan to pay any property taxes
or other Impositions or which otherwise adversely affect Lender's interests. In
the event such a change in law prohibits Borrower from assuming liability for
payment of any such Imposition, the outstanding Indebtedness shall, at the sole
option of Lender, become due and payable on the date that is 120 days after such
change in law without payment of a Yield Maintenance Premium and failure to pay

connected with the issuance of securities or the failure to include in such
financial statements or in any placement memorandum, prospectus, registration
statement or other document connected with the issuance of securities any
material fact relating to Borrower, Operator, their respective Affiliates, the
Facility, the Loan, and any aspect of the subject financing necessary in order

to review and comment upon the relevant portions of such documents and
Operator's comments thereon have been incorporated therein or otherwise

Security Instrument executed by Borrower establishes and creates a valid,
subsisting and enforceable Lien on and a security interest in, or claim to,
the rights and property described therein. All property covered by such
Collateral Security Instrument which is subject to the UCC is subject to a
UCC financing statement filed and/or recorded, as appropriate, (or

(iii) To the knowledge of Operator, except as may be disclosed on the
Environmental Reports delivered to Lender prior to the Closing Date, there have
been and are no past or present Releases or threats of Release of any Hazardous
Substance that are likely to form the basis of any Environmental Claim against

notice in its deed.
(V) No Joint Assessment; Separate Lots. Operator has not permitted or
initiated the joint assessment of the Facility (i) with any other real property
constituting a separate tax lot, and (ii) with any portion of the Facility which

Instrument executed by Operator establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and
enforceable Lien on and a security interest in, or claim to, the rights and
property described therein. All property covered by such Collateral Security
Instrument which is subject to the UCC is subject to a UCC financing statement

to equitable principles. Such Loan Documents are, as of the Closing Date, not
subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by
Operator, including the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the
terms of the Note, the Mortgages, or such other Loan Documents, or the exercise
of any right thereunder, render the Leasehold Mortgage unenforceable against
Operator, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off,
counterclaim or defense by Operator, including the defense of usury, and
Operator has not asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or
defense with respect thereto.
(Z) No Liabilities. Operator has no liabilities or obligations including
without limitation Contingent Obligations (and including, without limitation,
liabilities or obligations in tort, in contract, at law, in equity, pursuant to

located in a special flood hazard area as defined by the Federal Insurance

or as Operator contemplates conducting its business. Operator has not

commitment to issue such a title insurance policy, insuring a valid first
lien on the Facility, which is in full force and effect and is freely
assignable to and will inure to the benefit of Lender and any successor or
assignee of Lender, including but not limited to the trustee in a
Securitization, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances.
(II) Tax Fair Market Value. The Loan Amount with respect to the
Facility does not exceed the Tax Fair Market Value of the Facility. If a
Note with respect to the Facility is significantly modified prior to the
closing date of a Securitization so as to result in a taxable exchange

the Facility as of the date of such significant modification.

Section 5.1. Borrower and Operator Covenants. (a) Borrower covenants
and agrees that, from the date hereof and until payment in full of the
Indebtedness:
(A) Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements; Insurance.
Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve,
renew and keep in full force and effect its Entity existence, rights,

expense may, after prior notice to the Lender, contest by appropriate
legal, administrative or other proceedings conducted in good faith and with
due diligence, the validity or application, in whole or in part, of any
such applicable Legal Requirements as long as (i) neither the applicable
Collateral nor any part thereof or any interest therein, will be sold,
forfeited or lost if Borrower pays the amount or satisfies the condition
being contested, and Borrower would have the opportunity to do so, in the
event of Borrower's failure to prevail in the contest, (ii) Lender would
not, by virtue of such permitted contest, be exposed to any risk of any
civil liability for which Borrower has not furnished additional security as
provided in clause (iii) below, or to any risk of criminal liability, and
neither the applicable Collateral nor any interest therein would be subject
to the imposition of any Lien as a result of the failure to comply with
such Legal Requirement or of such proceeding and (iii) Borrower shall have
furnished to the Lender additional security in respect of the claim being
80

consent decree or other compromise relating to any Hazardous Substances or
Environmental Laws which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the presence or threatened
presence or Release of Hazardous Substances at, on, in, under, from or
about the Facility poses an immediate threat to the health, safety or
welfare of any Person or the environment, or is of such a nature that an
immediate response is necessary, Borrower may complete all necessary
Remedial Work. In such events, Borrower shall notify Lender as soon as

required, Lender may select or may require Operator to select a consulting
environmental Engineer reasonably satisfactory to Lender to conduct and
prepare environmental reports assessing the environmental condition of the
Facility. Lender shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review any
reports, data and other documents or materials reviewed or prepared by the
environmental Engineer. The inspection rights granted to Lender in this
Section 5.1(a)(E) shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any

(iv) the discovery by Borrower of any occurrence or condition on
the Facility or on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the
Facility which could
82
reasonably be expected to lead to an Environmental Claim against Borrower
or Lender which such Environmental Claim is reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect; and
(v) the commencement or completion of any Remedial Work by
Borrower.
(G) Copies of Notices. Borrower shall immediately transmit to Lender
copies of any citations, orders, notices or other written communications
received from any Person or any Governmental Authority and any notices,

directly caused by the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of
Lender.

by Borrower against Lender, Borrower shall cooperate with Lender with
respect to any proceedings before any Governmental Authority which may in
any way affect the rights of Lender hereunder or any rights obtained by

prohibit Lender, at its election, from participating in any
83
such proceedings.

executed and delivered by Borrower.
(N) Insurance Benefits. Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in
obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Insurance Proceeds lawfully or
equitably payable to Lender in connection with the Facility, and Lender

the Facility. If Lender has reason to believe that Remedial Work may be
required, Lender may select or may require Operator to select a consulting
environmental Engineer reasonably satisfactory to Lender to
90
conduct and prepare environmental reports assessing the environmental
condition of the Facility. Lender shall be given a reasonable opportunity
to review any reports, data and other documents or materials reviewed or

such inspection is ordered, that there exists an occurrence or
condition that could lead to an Environmental Claim;
(y) If any such inspection reveals an occurrence or condition
that could lead to an Environmental Claim;
(z) If an Event of Default with respect to the Facility exists
at the time any such inspection is ordered, and such Event of Default
relates to any representation, covenant or other obligation pertaining
to Hazardous Substances, Environmental Laws or any other environmental
matter.

hereunder or have a Material Adverse Effect;
(ii) any Environmental Claim or proceeding, investigation or
inquiry commenced or threatened in writing by any Person or Governmental
Authority, against
91
Operator, with respect to the presence, suspected presence, Release or
threatened Release of Hazardous Substances from or onto, in or under any
property not owned by Operator, including, without limitation, proceedings
under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. (S) 9601, et seq., which could reasonably be
expected to impair the value of Lender's security interests hereunder or
have a Material Adverse Effect;
(iii) all Environmental Claims asserted or threatened against
Operator, against any other party occupying the Facility or any portion
thereof or against the Facility which become known to Operator, which could
reasonably be expected to impair the value of Lender's security interests
hereunder or have a Material Adverse Effect;
(iv) the discovery by Operator of any occurrence or condition on
the Facility or on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the
Facility which could reasonably be expected to lead to an Environmental
Claim against Operator or Lender which such Environmental Claim is
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; and
(v) the commencement or completion of any Remedial Work.
(G) Copies of Notices. Operator shall immediately transmit to Lender
copies of any citations, orders, notices or other written communications
received from any Person or any Governmental Authority and any notices,

Authority with respect to the matters described in Section 5.1(b)(F).
(H) Environmental Claims. Lender may join and participate in, as a
party if Lender so determines, any legal or administrative proceeding or
action concerning the Facility or any portion thereof under any
Environmental Law, if, in Lender's reasonable judgment, the interests of
Lender will not be adequately protected by Operator. Operator agrees to
bear and shall pay or reimburse Lender within ten (10) calendar days
following written demand for all reasonable sums advanced and reasonable
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements), incurred
by Lender in connection with any such action or proceeding.
(I) Indemnification. Operator agrees to indemnify, reimburse, defend
(with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lender) and hold harmless Lender

without limitation, interest, penalties, consequential damages, attorneys'
fees, disbursements and expenses, and consultants'
92
fees, disbursements and expenses, including costs of Remedial Work
(collectively, "Losses") asserted against, resulting to, imposed on, or
incurred by Lender, directly or indirectly, in connection with any of the
following:
(i) events, circumstances, or conditions which are alleged to,
or do, form the basis for an Environmental Claim;

Mortgage); provided, such written notice shall not be required upon the
occurrence and continuation of a Default or Event of Default.

material adverse change in Operator's condition, financial or otherwise, or
of the occurrence of any Default of which Operator has knowledge or Event

(L) Cooperate in Legal Proceedings. Except with respect to any claim
by Operator against Lender, Operator shall cooperate with Lender with
respect to any proceedings before any Governmental Authority which may in

prohibit Lender, at its election, from participating in any such
proceedings.
(M) Perform Loan Documents. Operator shall observe, perform and

an Event of Default or (ii) in the event that, as of the last day of a
calendar quarter, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Facility,

right to require Operator to retain a manager to manage the Facility, if on
the first Payment Date after Lender has made the determination pursuant to
clause (ii) above, Borrower defeases the Loan in accordance with the terms
of Sections 2.6 and 2.11 in an amount sufficient to cause the Debt Service
Coverage Ratio (calculated as if such amount was actually applied to reduce
the Principal Indebtedness upon which Debt Service was paid and calculated
as if the Principal Indebtedness was reamortized on a straight-line basis
(as if the reduction had occurred) over the remaining number of months
until the Maturity Date) for the Facility, computed on the basis of the
prior twelve (12) calendar months, to be at least equal to 1.20. In the
event that Borrower fails to defease as provided in the previous sentence
and Lender requires Operator to retain a manager, any such manager shall
(i) be a reputable management company having at least seven years'
experience in the management of commercial properties with similar uses as
the Facility and in the jurisdiction in which the Facility is located, (ii)
shall not be paid management fees in excess of fees which are market fees

of the then applicable ratings assigned by the Rating Agencies to any
securities issued in a Securitization.

that if such appointment, adjudication, petition or proceeding was
involuntary and not consented to by Borrower or Operator as the case may
be, upon the same not being discharged, stayed or dismissed within 90 days;
or if Borrower or Operator shall generally not be paying its debts as they

Day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the
same, such thirty (30) Business Day period shall be extended for such time

Section 7.2. Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
and during the continuance thereof, all or any one or more of the rights, powers
and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower and Operator under this
Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage, the Leasehold Mortgage or any of the other
Loan Documents, or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time
and from time to time (including, without limitation, the right to accelerate
and declare the outstanding principal amount, unpaid interest, Default Rate
interest, Late Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium, the Event of Default Return
of Buy-Up Payment and any other amounts owing by Borrower to be immediately due
and payable), without notice or demand, whether or not all or any portion of the
Indebtedness shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall
have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other
109
action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan
Documents with respect to the Facility or all or any portion of the Collateral.
Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be
pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time
and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other
rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set
forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained
to the contrary herein, the outstanding principal amount, unpaid interest,
Default Rate interest, Late Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium, the Event of
Default Return of Buy-Up Payment and any other amounts owing by Borrower shall
be accelerated and immediately due and payable, without any election by Lender
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 7.1(x) or
Section 7.1(xi). Notwithstanding that this Agreement may refer to a continuing
Event of Default, and without limiting Borrower's or Operator's right to cure a
Default which may, with the passage of time, become an Event of Default, neither
Borrower nor Operator shall have any right pursuant to this Agreement to cure
any Event of Default unless this Agreement is amended by Borrower, Operator and
Lender in writing.
Section 7.3. Remedies Cumulative. The rights, powers and remedies of
Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other
right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower or Operator
pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents executed by or with
respect to Borrower or Operator, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise.
Lender's rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or
otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender's
sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power
accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power
or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power
may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A
waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not be construed to be a waiver
of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or
power consequent thereon. Any and all of Lender's rights with respect to the
Collateral shall continue unimpaired, and Borrower and Operator shall be and
remain obligated in accordance with the terms hereof, notwithstanding (i) the
release or substitution of Collateral at any time, or of any rights or interest
therein or (ii) any delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or other
indulgence granted by Lender in the event of any Default or Event of Default
with respect to the Collateral or otherwise hereunder. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, Lender reserves the right to seek a
deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim, in connection with the
foreclosure of the Mortgage or Leasehold Mortgage on the Facility, to the extent
necessary to foreclose on other parts of the Mortgaged Property.
Section 7.4. Lender's Right to Perform. If Borrower or Operator
fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure
shall continue beyond any
110
applicable grace period and thereafter continue for a period of five Business
Days after Borrower's or Operator's, as applicable, receipt of written notice
thereof, without in any way limiting Section 7.1 hereof, from Lender, Lender
may, but shall have no obligation to, itself perform, or cause performance of,
such covenant or obligation, and the expenses of Lender incurred in connection
therewith shall be payable by Borrower and Operator to Lender within ten (10)
calendar days after written demand therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to Borrower or Operator of any
such failure.
Section 7.5. Operator's Limited Right to Cure. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement or the Loan Documents to the contrary, if a non-
monetary Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to Borrower
which Event of Default was not caused directly or indirectly by Operator and
Lender desires to exercise its rights under this Article VII, provided no Event
of Default exists with respect to Operator, Lender shall give Operator written
notice of such Event of Default and of Lender's intent to exercise its rights
and remedies under this Article VII and Lender shall abstain from exercising its
rights and remedies under this Article VII until the earlier to occur of (a) the
date which is forty-five (45) days after delivery of such written notice, (b)
the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to Operator and (c) the
occurrence of a monetary Event of Default with respect to Borrower. Lender
shall not exercise its rights under this Article VII in connection with the
Event of Default with respect to Borrower identified in the written notice
delivered to Operator if prior to the dates or events described in clauses (a)
through (c) of the foregoing sentence, the following events and conditions shall
have occurred or been satisfied, as applicable, (i) the Operator has acquired
fee simple title to the Facility or acquired the beneficial interest of FBTC in
Borrower, has assumed all of the obligations of the Borrower under the Loan
Documents and has executed and delivered such other documentation as may be
required by Lender and, if the Loan has been transferred in a Securitization,
the Rating Agencies, (ii) if the Loan has been transferred in a Securitization,
the Rating Agencies shall have confirmed in writing that such transfer shall not
result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of any securities issued in
connection with such Securitization, (iii) satisfactory opinions relating to
such transfer shall have been delivered by Operator to Lender and, if the Loan
has been transferred in a Securitization, to the Rating Agencies (including
without limitation tax and bankruptcy opinions), (iv) to the extent curable,
Operator shall have cured such non-monetary Event of Default, (v) Operator pays
all reasonable expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such transfer,
(vi) Operator shall have delivered to Lender an updated Title Insurance Policy
showing fee simple title to the Facility in Operator and insuring that Lender
has a valid first lien on the Operator's fee simple interest in the Facility
together with such modifications, amendments or supplements to the Loan
Documents as Lender may reasonably request. Upon consummation of the transfer
of fee simple title in the Facility to the Operator and the assignment by the
Borrower and assumption by the Operator of the Borrower's obligations under the
Loan Documents executed by the Borrower, Operator shall be considered the
"Borrower" under the Loan Documents as well as the "Operator" under the Loan
Documents and
111
shall have all of the obligations of "Borrower" under the Loan Documents as well
as the obligations of "Operator" under the Loan Documents. If the events
described in clauses (a) through (c) of the first sentence of this Section occur
or the events or conditions described in the second sentence of this Section do
not occur or are not satisfied prior to the occurrence of the events described
in clauses (a) through (c) of the first sentence of this Section, Lender shall
be entitled to exercise all of its rights and remedies pursuant to this Article
VII.

receiving a notice which does not comply with the technical requirements for

SECTION 8.7. TRIAL BY JURY. BORROWER, OPERATOR AND LENDER, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT THAT THEY MAY LAWFULLY DO SO, HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY TORT ACTION, BROUGHT BY
ANY PARTY HERETO WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE OR THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS.
Section 8.8. Headings. The Article and Section headings in this
Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not
constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
Section 8.9. Assignment. Lender shall have the right to assign in
whole or in part this Agreement and/or any of the other Loan Documents and the
obligations hereunder or thereunder to any Person and to participate all or any
portion of the Loan evidenced hereby, including without limitation, any servicer
or trustee in connection with a Securitization. Lender shall provide Borrower
and Operator with written notice of any such assignment; provided, however, that
such notice shall not be a condition of Lender's right to assign this Agreement
and/or any of the Loan Documents and the failure to deliver such notice shall
not constitute a default under this Loan Agreement.
Section 8.10. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of
this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid
under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited
by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating
115
the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 8.11. Preferences. Lender shall have no obligation to
marshal any assets in favor of Borrower or Operator or any other party or

pursuant to this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document. Lender shall
have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and
all payments by Borrower or Operator to any portion of the obligations of
Borrower or Operator hereunder. To the extent Borrower or Operator makes a
payment or payments to Lender for Borrower's or Operator's benefit, which
payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared
to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a
trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal
law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or
proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be
satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such
payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.
Section 8.12. Waiver of Notice. Borrower and Operator shall not be
entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect

to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. To
the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, Borrower and
Operator each hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from
Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents does not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice
by Lender to Borrower.
Section 8.13. Intentionally Omitted.
Section 8.14. Exculpation. Except as otherwise set forth in this
Section 8.14 and Section 4.2 to the contrary, Lender shall not enforce the
liability and obligation of Borrower or Operator to perform and observe the
obligations contained in this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages, the Guaranty
or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by Borrower or
Operator except that Lender may pursue any power of sale, bring a foreclosure
action, action for specific performance, action for money judgment, or other
appropriate action or proceeding (including, without limitation, to obtain a
deficiency judgment) against Borrower or Operator or any other Person solely for
the purpose of enabling Lender to realize upon (a) the Collateral, and (b) the
Rents and Accounts arising from the Facility to the extent (x) (i) received by
Borrower (or any of its affiliates), after the occurrence of an Event of
Default, or (ii) received by Operator (or any of their affiliates), after the
occurrence of an Event of Default or (y) distributed to (i) Borrower or its
shareholders, partners, members or beneficial owners, as applicable, or
affiliates during or with respect to any period for which Lender did not receive
the
116
full amounts it was entitled to receive as prepayments of the Loan pursuant to
Section 2.7 or (ii) Operator, or its shareholders, partners, members or
beneficial owners, as applicable, or affiliates during or with respect to any
period for which Lender did not receive the full amounts it was entitled to
receive as prepayments of the Loan pursuant to Section 2.7 (all Rents and
Accounts covered by clauses (x) and (y) being hereinafter referred to as the
"Recourse Distributions") and (c)) any other collateral given to Lender under
the Loan Documents ((a), (b), and (c) collectively, the "Default Collateral");
provided, however, that any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
enforceable only to the extent of any such Default Collateral. The provisions of
this Section 8.14 shall not, however, (a) impair the validity of the
Indebtedness evidenced by the Loan Documents or in any way affect or impair the
Liens of the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents or the right of Lender
to foreclose the Mortgage or Leasehold Mortgage following an Event of Default;
(b) impair the right of Lender to name any Person as a party defendant in any
action or suit for judicial foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage or Leasehold
Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of the Note, the Mortgage or
the other Loan Documents; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the
appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the right of Lender to bring suit for any
damages, losses, expenses, liabilities or costs resulting from fraud,
intentional misrepresentation, intentional physical waste of all or any portion
of the Facility, or wrongful removal or disposal of all or any portion of the
Facility by any Person in connection with this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage
or the other Loan Documents; (f) impair the right of Lender to obtain the

due to Lender pursuant to the Mortgage or Leasehold Mortgage (including, without
limitation, the applicable Casualty Prepayment Amount, Casualty Return of Buy-Up
Payment, Condemnation Prepayment Amount and/or Condemnation Return of Buy-Up
Payment); (i) impair the right of Lender to enforce (against the parties liable
therefore other than the Borrower) the provisions of Sections 4.1(b)(U),
4.1(d)(U) or 5.1(b)(D)-(I) of this Agreement, Section 2.8 of the Mortgage or the
Leasehold Mortgage or the Environmental Guaranty even after repayment in full by

exercising, or constitute a defense, or counterclaim, or other basis for relief
in respect of the exercise of, any other remedy against any or all of the

right of Lender to bring suit with respect to any intentional misapplication of
any funds including without limitation any intentional misappropriation of
security deposits or Rents collected more then one month in advance; or (l)
impair the right of Lender to ▇▇▇ for, seek or demand a deficiency judgment
against any Person solely for the purpose of foreclosing the Mortgaged Property
or any part thereof, or realizing upon the Default Collateral; provided,
however, that any such deficiency judgment referred to in this clause (l) shall
be enforceable only to the extent of any of the Default Collateral.
Section 8.15. Exhibits Incorporated. The information set forth on

part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 8.16. Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of
Lender's interest in and to this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages and the
other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets,
counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to the Loan, this Agreement, the
Note, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents which Borrower or Operator may
otherwise have against any assignor, and no such unrelated counterclaim or
defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower or Operator in any action or
proceeding brought by any such assignee upon this Agreement, the Note, the
Mortgages and other Loan Documents and any such right to interpose or assert any
such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding
is hereby expressly waived by Borrower and Operator.
Section 8.17. No Joint Venture or Partnership. Borrower and Lender
intend that the relationship created hereunder be solely that of borrower and
lender. Operator and Lender intend that the relationship created hereunder be
solely that of guarantor and lender. Nothing herein is intended to create a
joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship
between Borrower and Lender or between Operator and Lender nor to grant Lender
any interest in the Mortgaged Property other than that of mortgagee or lender.
Section 8.18. Waiver of Marshalling of Assets Defense. To the
fullest extent that Borrower and Operator may legally do so, each of Borrower
and Operator waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower or
Operator, and others with interests in Borrower or Operator, and of the
Mortgaged Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of
foreclosure of the interests hereby created, and agrees not to assert any right
under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse
order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of
decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right
of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Facility for the collection
of the Indebtedness without any prior or different resort for collection, or the
right of Lender to the payment of the Indebtedness in preference to every other
claimant whatsoever.
Section 8.19. Waiver of Counterclaim. Borrower and Operator each
hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than compulsory
counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against Borrower or Operator,
as applicable by Lender or Lender's agents.
Section 8.20. Conflict; Construction of Documents. In the event of
any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the
Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this
Agreement shall prevail. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were
represented by counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of the
Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle
of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same.
118
Section 8.21. Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower, Operator and
Lender hereby represent that they have dealt with no financial advisors,
brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement except Advisor. Borrower and
Operator each hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and
against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind in any
way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person (other than Advisor), that
such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Operator in connection with the
transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section shall survive
the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the
Indebtedness.
Section 8.22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an
original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same
instrument.
Section 8.23. Estoppel Certificates. Borrower, Operator and Lender
each hereby agree at any time and from time to time upon not less than fifteen
(15) Business Days prior written notice by Borrower, Operator or Lender to
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the party specified in such notice, a
statement, in writing, certifying that this Agreement is unmodified and in full
force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same, as
modified, is in full force and effect and stating the modifications hereto), and
stating whether or not, to the knowledge of such certifying party, any Default
or Event of Default has occurred, and, if so, specifying each such Default or
Event of Default; provided, however, that it shall be a condition precedent to
Lender's obligation to deliver the statement pursuant to this Section, that
Lender shall have received, together with Borrower's or Operator's request for
such statement, an Officer's Certificate stating that no Default or Event of
Default exists as of the date of such certificate (or specifying such Default or
Event of Default).
Section 8.24. Payment of Expenses. Borrower shall, whether or not
the Transactions are consummated, pay all Transaction Costs, which shall

subject of any order for relief issued under Title 11 of the U.s. Code, as

or similar relief under any present or future federal or state act or law
relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors, the automatic
stay provided by the Federal Bankruptcy Code shall be modified and annulled as
to Lender, so as to permit Lender to exercise any and all of its remedies, upon
request of Lender made on notice to Borrower and any other party in interest but
without the need of further proof or hearing. Borrower, Operator and any of
their respective Affiliates shall not contest the enforceability of this
Section.
Section 8.26. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the
Exhibits hereto and the other Loan Documents constitutes the entire agreement
among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained in this
Agreement, the Exhibits hereto and the other Loan Documents and supersedes all
prior agreements, understandings and negotiations between the parties.
Section 8.27. Dissemination of Information. If Lender determines at
any time to sell, transfer or assign the Note, this Loan Agreement and any other
Loan Document and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or to grant
participations therein or issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other
securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public
offering or private placement, Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee,
assignee, servicer, participant or investor in such securities (collectively,
the "Investor") or any Rating Agency rating such securities and each prospective
Investor, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter
acquire relating to the Loan, Borrower, Operator, any guarantor, any indemnitor
and the Facility, which shall have been furnished by Borrower, Operator, any
guarantor, any indemnitor, or any party to any Loan Document, or otherwise
furnished in connection with the Loan, as Lender in its sole discretion
determines necessary or desirable.
120
Section 8.28. Limitation of Interest. It is the intention of
Borrower, Operator and Lender to conform strictly to applicable usury laws.
Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious under
applicable law, then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
any Loan Document, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all
consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law that is taken,
reserved, contracted for, charged or received under any Loan Document or
otherwise in connection with the Loan shall under no circumstances exceed the
maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be
credited to principal by Lender (or if the Loan shall have been paid in full,
refunded to Borrower); and (ii) in the event that maturity of the Loan is
accelerated by reason of an election by Lender resulting from any default
hereunder or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment,
then such consideration that constitutes interest may never include more than
the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any interest in
excess of the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, if any,
provided for in the Loan Documents or otherwise shall be cancelled automatically
as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore prepaid,
shall be credited to principal (or if the principal portion of the Loan and any
other amounts not constituting interest shall have been paid in full, refunded
to Borrower).
In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any
specific contingency exceeds the maximum amount allowed by applicable law,
Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law (a) exclude
voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (b) amortize, prorate,
allocate and spread, in equal parts, the total amount of interest throughout the
entire contemplated term of the Loan so that the interest rate is uniform
throughout the entire term of the Loan; provided, that if the Loan is paid and
performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term hereof, and if
the interest received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the
maximum amount allowed by applicable law, Lender shall refund to Borrower the
amount of such excess, and in such event, Lender shall not be subject to any
penalties provided by any laws for contracting for, charging or receiving
interest in excess of the maximum amount allowed by applicable law.
Section 8.29. Indemnification. Operator shall indemnify and hold
each of the Borrower, the Trust Company, Lender and each of its affiliates
(including its officers, directors, partners, employees and agents and each
other person, if any, controlling Lender or any of its affiliates within the
meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (each, including
the Borrower, the Trust Company, and the Lender, an "Indemnified Party")
harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including
the reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel retained by any such
person) or liabilities in connection with, arising out of or as a result of the
transactions and matters referred to or contemplated by this Agreement (provided
that the
121
indemnity provided in Section 2.14 shall apply to the matters to which it
relates), except to the extent that it is finally judicially determined that any
such loss, claim, damage, cost, expense or liability resulted directly and
solely from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of such
Indemnified Party. In the event that any Indemnified Party becomes involved in
any action, proceeding or investigation in connection with any transaction or
matter referred to or contemplated in this Agreement, Operator shall
periodically reimburse any Indemnified Party upon demand therefor in an amount
equal to its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the costs of any
investigation and preparation) incurred in connection therewith to the extent
such legal or other expenses are the subject of indemnification hereunder.
Section 8.30. Borrower and Operator Acknowledgments. Each of
Operator and Borrower hereby acknowledges to and agrees with Lender that (i) the
scope of Lender's business is wide and includes, but is not limited to,
financing, real estate financing, investment in real estate and other real
estate transactions which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the
business of Borrower or Operator or their respective Affiliates and (ii)
Borrower and Operator each has been represented by competent legal counsel and
has consulted with such counsel prior to executing this Loan Agreement and any
of the other Loan Documents.
Section 8.31. Publicity. Lender shall have the right to issue press
releases, advertisements and other promotional materials describing Lender's
participation in the origination of the Loan or the Loan's inclusion in any
Securitization effectuated or to be effectuated by Lender.
Section 8.32. Intentionally deleted.
Section 8.33. Transfer of Fee Simple Interest in the Facility to
Operator on the Optional Prepayment Date. Notwithstanding anything in the
Operator Lease or the Loan Documents to the contrary, on the Optional Prepayment
Date, if the Loan is not prepaid in full pursuant to Section 2.7 of this
Agreement as a result of the Operator's failure to meet its obligations pursuant
to the Lease or otherwise, (i) Borrower shall transfer its fee simple title in
the Facility to Operator in consideration for Operator's assumption of
Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents executed by Borrower, (ii)
Operator shall accept fee simple title in the Facility and shall assume
Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents executed by the Borrower
pursuant to such documents as Lender shall reasonably request, (iii) Operator
shall deliver to Lender an updated Title Insurance Policy showing fee simple
title to the Facility in Operator and insuring that Lender has a valid first
lien on the Operator's fee simple interest in the Facility together with such
modification, amendments or supplements to the Loan Documents and legal opinions
as Lender may reasonably request and (iv) Operator shall pay all of Lender's
fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with such transfer (including,
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) and all recording costs, fees and taxes
associated with the transfer.
122
Operator shall provide Lender with written notice sixty (60) days prior to the
Optional Prepayment Date indicating whether Operator anticipates (a) that the
Loan be prepaid in full on the Optional Prepayment Date together with
information regarding the sources of the funds for such prepayment or (b)(i)
that Operator will acquire the Borrower's fee simple interest in the Facility
together with the proposed documents effectuating the transfer of the Facility
and the assumption of the Loan and a copy of a commitment for the Title Policy
referenced above in clause (iii) or (ii) that FBTC will be transferring its
beneficial interests in Borrower to Operator pursuant to the penultimate
sentence of this Section 8.33 together with copies the proposed documents
effectuating such transfer and the proposed amendment to the Operator Lease
referenced in clause (iv) of the penultimate sentence of this Section 8.33. Upon
consummation of the transfer of fee simple title in the Facility to the Operator
and the assignment by the Borrower and assumption by the Operator of the
Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents executed by the Borrower,
Operator shall be considered the "Borrower" under the Loan Documents as well as
the "Operator" under the Loan Documents and shall have all of the obligations of
"Borrower" under the Loan Documents as well as the obligations of "Operator"
under the Loan Documents. As an alternative to transferring fee simple title to
the Facility to Operator if the Loan is not prepaid in full pursuant to Section
2.7 of this Agreement, on the Optional Prepayment Date, (i) Operator shall
acquire all of FBTC's beneficial ownership interests in the Borrower, (ii) the
Operator shall deliver such modifications, amendments or supplements to the Loan
Documents and legal opinions as Lender may reasonably request, (iii) Operator
shall deliver the various items sets forth in clause (v) of the definition of
"Permitted Transfers" and (iv) Operator shall execute an amendment to the
Operator Lease extending the Operator Lease to the Maturity Date and such other
amendments as are consistent with the fact that the FBTC Debt will be eliminated
all as Lender may reasonably request and as will not result in a downgrade,
withdrawal or qualification of the ratings assigned to any of the securities
issued in a Securitization as confirmed in writing by the Rating Agencies.
Failure of Borrower or Operator to comply with the terms of this Section shall
constitute an Event of Default.
Section 8.34 Amendments to Operator Lease. Borrower hereby agrees
that it will not amend, modify or terminate the Operator Lease without the prior
written consent of the Lender not to be unreasonably withheld. Lender hereby
agrees that it will not amend, modify or waive without the prior written consent
of Borrower, not to be unreasonably withheld (a) any provision of the Operator
Lease regarding the determination of or obligation to pay FBTC Basic Rent (as
defined in the Operator Lease) or Lessor Basic Rent (as defined in the Operator
Lease) to the extent any waiver, modification or amendment relates to FBTC Basic
Rent or Lessor Basic Rent which is due and payable to Borrower, (b) any
provision of the Operator Lease regarding indemnities in favor of Borrower or
any of its Affiliates, agents, officers, directors or employees to the extent
any waiver, modification or amendment relates to the period prior to acquisition
of title to the Mortgaged Property by Lender or its designee by foreclosure or
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, (c) until after acquisition of title to the
Mortgaged Property by Lender or its designee
123
by foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, Sections 19.1(ii), 22.1, 24.1,
24.2 and 25.1 of the Operator Lease; and (d) Section 20.2(k) of the Operator
Lease.
Section 8.35 Subordination and Standstill.
(a) Borrower hereby agrees that all of the indebtedness, liabilities
and obligations of Operator evidenced by the Operator Lease and those Pledge
Agreements (as defined in the Operator Lease) executed by Operator
(collectively, the "Subordinate Obligations") and the lien of any judgment
entered on behalf of Borrower in connection with the Subordinate Obligations,
whether in breach of the terms hereof or otherwise, is and shall be subject,
subordinate and rendered junior to the prior indefeasible payment in full of the
Indebtedness. Except as specifically provided in the following sentence, no
payment shall be made by Operator for or on account of the Subordinate
Obligations, and the Borrower shall not take or receive from Operator in cash or
other property or by setoff or in any other manner, including, without
limitation, from or by way of collateral, payment of all or any of the
Subordinate Obligations, unless and until the Indebtedness shall have been
indefeasibly paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Borrower may
receive payments with respect to the related Subordinate Obligations (i)(x)
prior to a Cash Management Event, from Operator (but only after payment of the
amounts set forth in the first sentence of Section 2.12(b), and (y) after a Cash
Management Event, from the FBTC Payment Sub-Account and from Excess Cash Flow
and (ii) from realization on the collateral pledged to Borrower pursuant to
those Pledge Agreements (as defined in the Operator Lease) executed by Operator.
If any payments are made to the Borrower on account of the Subordinate
Obligations contrary to the terms of this Agreement or in excess of what the
Borrower is entitled to receive under this Agreement, Borrower shall hold the
same in trust as trustee for Lender, and shall promptly deliver to Lender in the
form received, endorsed or assigned, as may be appropriate for application on
account of, or as security for the Indebtedness.
(b) Until the Indebtedness is paid in full, Borrower shall not
institute any Enforcement Action (including, but not limited to, filing an
Insolvency Proceeding against Operator or acquiescing to the filing of an
Insolvency Proceeding by the Operator) against the Operator. Without limiting
the foregoing, in the event of an Insolvency Action with respect to the
Operator, (i) the Borrower hereby agrees that it shall not object to or oppose
any efforts by Lender to obtain relief in the Operator's bankruptcy from the
automatic stay under Section 362 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or to seek
to cause the Operator's bankruptcy estate to abandon the Facility or any part
thereof and (ii) so long as the beneficial interests of Borrower are owned by
FBTC, it shall not object to or oppose any efforts by Borrower to obtain relief
in the Operator's bankruptcy from the automatic stay under Section 362 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code or to seek to cause the Operator's estate to
abandon the Facilities or any part thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event Operator fails to pay to Borrower any
124
FBTC Required Quarterly Payment, Borrower shall be entitled to exercise its
rights and remedies with respect to the collateral pledged to Borrower pursuant
to those Pledge Agreements (as defined in the Operator Lease) executed by
Operator. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Borrower
hereby agrees it shall not ▇▇▇ for or make any claim with respect to the
Collateral and Lender hereby agrees that it shall not ▇▇▇ for or make any claim
with respect to the Excepted Property. Notwithstanding the terms of this Section
8.35, Borrower shall be entitled to bring an Enforcement Action (but not an
Insolvency Proceeding) against Operator solely for the purpose of realizing and
foreclosing on the collateral pledged to Borrower pursuant to the Pledge
Agreements (as defined in the Operator Lease) executed by the Operator,
provided, however, that as a condition to bringing such Enforcement Action (but
not an Insolvency Proceeding), FBTC shall first us its reasonable good faith
efforts to exercise its rights with respect to realizing on the Collateral by
non-judicial means. For the purposes of this Section, the following terms have
the indicated meanings: (i) "Enforcement Action" means the commencement or the
exercise of any remedies against the Operator, including, without limitation,
the commencement of any litigation and the commencement of any Insolvency
Proceeding; and (ii) "Insolvency Proceeding" means any proceeding under Title 11
of the United States Code (11 U.S.C. Sec. 101 et seq.) or any insolvency,
liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding concerning the Operator,
any dissolution of the Operator any proceeding (judicial or otherwise)
concerning the application of the assets of the Operator for the benefit of its
creditors, the initiation of any proceeding seeking the appointment of a
trustee, receiver or other similar custodian for all of any substantial part of
the assets of the Operator or any other action concerning the adjustment of the
debts of the Operator or the cessation of business by the Operator.
(c) Borrower shall deliver to Lender a copy of any and all notices of
default (or respecting acts or occurrences which could, with the giving of
notice, the passage of time, or both, constitute a default) that are delivered
by Borrower to Lender as required by law or otherwise given, whether in breach
of terms hereof or otherwise, to Operator by Borrower.
Section 8.36 Limitation of Liability. It is expressly understood and
agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this Loan Agreement is executed and
delivered by Wilmington Trust Company, not individually or personally but solely
as trustee of the Borrower, in the exercise of the powers and authority
conferred and vested in it under the Trust Agreement, (b) each of the
representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the
Borrower is made and intended not as personal representations, undertakings and
agreements by Wilmington Trust Company but is made and intended for the purpose
of binding only the Borrower and (c) under no circumstances shall Wilmington
Trust Company be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or
expenses of the Borrower or be liable for the breach or failure of any
obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the
Borrower under this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents provided, that
Wilmington Trust Company accepts the
125
benefits running to it hereunder and agrees that it shall be liable in its
individual capacity for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 8.37 Buy-Up. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or
any other Loan Document to the contrary, (i) Borrower, Operator and Lender agree
that no payment of any Casualty Prepayment Amount, Casualty Return of Buy-Up
Payment, Condemnation Prepayment Amount, Condemnation Return of Buy-Up Payment,
Yield Maintenance Premium or Event of Default Return of Buy-Up Payment required
to be paid by Borrower or Operator pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document is intended to be a penalty of any nature or kind whatsoever, (ii)
Borrower and Operator acknowledge that in connection with the making of the
Loan, Lender paid Borrower the Buy-Up Payment, which fee Borrower and Lender
both intended that Lender would recover through the payment of interest on the
Loan by Borrower to Lender through the Optional Prepayment Date at the Initial
Interest Rate and (iii) in consideration for Lender's payment to Borrower of the
Buy-Up Payment, Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and
all rights of any nature or kind whatsoever that Borrower may have to contest
the validity and/or the enforceability of any payment of any Casualty Prepayment
Amount, Casualty Return of Buy-Up Payment, Condemnation Prepayment Amount,
Condemnation Return of Buy-Up Payment, Event of Default Return of Buy-Up Payment
or Yield Maintenance Premium except to the extent Borrower would have had the
right to contest such payment had such payment been a payment of principal
indebtedness. Subject to the following sentence, Lender agrees that Lender will
treat and report the Buy-Up Payment as additional issue price for Federal income
tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation (S)1.1273-2(g)(3). Lender reserves
the right to change its treatment and reporting of the Buy-Up Payment in the
event of any change, amendment or modification to any applicable law, rule,
revenue ruling or regulation or in the event Lender receives notice from the
Internal Revenue Service requiring a change in Lender's treatment on reporting
of the Buy-Up Payment. Lender will notify Borrower and Operator in the event it
is changing its reporting or treatment of the Buy-Up Payment. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, it is
the intent of the parties that, until the Optional Prepayment Date, the payments
with respect to Loan Amount, the amounts payable thereon with respect to the
Initial Interest Rate and payments with respect to the Buy-Up Payment shall not
exceed or be less than the payments which would have been made if the original
principal amount of a loan made pursuant to this Loan Agreement would have been
$21,000,000 with an Initial Interest Rate of 7.57% and an amortization schedule
of 331 months (calculated on the basis of a calendar year consisting of twelve
thirty day months); provided, however, the foregoing is not intended to qualify
the amount of interest at the Default Rate or Late Charges that Lender is
entitled to collect.
