Sections 2.2.3, 2.2.4 and 2.2.10 below) at the Applicable LIBO Rate as set
forth on an interest billing statement delivered by Administrative Agent to Borrower.
(b) Prior to the Maturity Date, during the period the Loan is accruing interest at the
Applicable Base Rate, interest shall accrue on the Principal Amount at the Applicable Base Rate as
set forth on an interest billing statement delivered by Administrative Agent to Borrower.
(c) From and after the Maturity Date or, at the request of the Required Lenders, from and
after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, interest shall accrue on
the Principal Amount at the Default Rate.
(d) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, interest shall accrue on
all amounts advanced by Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents (other than the Principal Amount,
which shall accrue interest in accordance with clauses (a) above) at the Default Rate.
(e) The provisions of this Section 2.2.1 are subject in all events to the provisions
of Section 2.2.4 of this Agreement.
2.2.2 Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on the Loan shall be paid by Borrower (i)
on the day hereof through August 31, 2011, and (ii) thereafter, monthly, in arrears, on each
Payment Date, as set forth in an interest billing statement delivered by Administrative Agent to
Borrower (which delivery may be by facsimile or email transmission). All payments made by Borrower
hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents shall be made on or before 11:00 a.m. New York City
time. Any payments received after such time shall be credited to the next following Business Day.
If any interest payment due under the Loan Documents is not paid by Borrower within three (3) days
after the date on which it is due (or, if such third (3rd) day is not a Business Day, then the
Business Day immediately preceding such day), Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent upon
demand an amount equal to the lesser of three percent (3%) of such unpaid sum or the Maximum Legal
Rate (the “Late Payment Charge”) in order to defray the expense incurred by Lenders and
Administrative Agent in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lenders
for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by this
Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by
applicable law. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the three day grace period with respect to
the applicability of the Late Payment Charge (i) shall only apply to Borrower’s first failure to
make a monthly interest payment in any calendar year, (ii) shall not apply to Borrower’s failure to
make the Maturity Date Payment and (iii) shall not constitute a payment grace period and shall in
no way limit Administrative Agent’s rights under Article XVII.
-37-
2.2.3 Inability to Determine Rate. In the event that Administrative Agent shall have
determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower) that by reason of
circumstances affecting the interbank market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining the LIBO Rate for any Interest Period that has not already commenced, Administrative
Agent shall forthwith give telephonic notice of such determination to each Lender and to Borrower.
If such notice is given, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall bear interest during
each day of any affected Interest Period at the Applicable Base Rate. Administrative Agent shall
withdraw such notice in the event that the circumstances giving rise thereto no longer pertain and
that adequate and reasonable means exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for the relevant Interest
Period, and, following withdrawal of such notice by Administrative Agent, the outstanding principal
balance of the Loan shall bear interest at the Applicable LIBO Rate pursuant to
Section 2.2.1 above.
2.2.4 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any law,
regulation, treaty or directive issued by any Governmental Authority or any change therein or in
the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to maintain the
Loan based on the LIBO Rate as contemplated by this Agreement, the Loan shall automatically bear
interest at the Applicable Base Rate at the end of then-current Interest Period or within such
earlier period as may be required by law. In the event of a conversion to interest based on the
Base Rate prior to the end of the then-current Interest Period, Borrower hereby agrees promptly to
pay any Lender affected thereby, upon demand, the amounts required pursuant to
Section 2.2.8 below, it being agreed and understood that such conversion shall constitute a
prepayment for all purposes hereof. The provisions hereof shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and payment of all other Obligations.
2.2.5 Funding. Each Lender shall be entitled to fund all or any portion of its
Percentage Share of the Loan in any manner it may determine in its sole discretion, including,
without limitation, in the Grand Cayman inter-bank market, the London inter-bank market and within
the United States, but all calculations and transactions hereunder shall be conducted as though all
Lenders actually fund the Loan through the purchase of offshore dollar deposits in the amount of
such Lender’s Percentage Share of the Loan with a maturity corresponding to the applicable Interest
Period.
2.2.6 Requirements of Law; Increased Costs.
(i) In the event that any applicable law, order, regulation, treaty or directive issued by any
central bank or other governmental authority, agency or instrumentality or in the governmental or
judicial interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) issued by any central bank or other governmental
authority, agency or instrumentality, in each case enacted after the date hereof (or any change
enacted after the date hereof):
(A) does or shall subject any Lender to any Taxes of any kind whatsoever with respect
to this Agreement or the Loan, or change the basis of determining the Taxes imposed on
payments to such Lender of principal, fee, interest or any other amount payable hereunder
(except for Excluded Taxes);
-38-
(B) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, capital requirement,
special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirements (other than Regulation D of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other reserve requirements, in each case
to the extent utilized in the determination of the Applicable LIBO Rate for such Loan)
against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances
or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office
of such Lender which are not otherwise included in the determination of interest payable on
the Obligations; or
(C) does or shall impose on such Lender any other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, renewing
or maintaining its Percentage Share of the Loan or to reduce any amount receivable in respect
thereof or the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such
Lender, then, in any such case, Borrower shall, without duplication of amounts payable pursuant to
Section 2.2.9, promptly pay to such Lender, upon its written demand made through
Administrative Agent, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such
additional cost or reduced amounts receivable or rate of return as determined by such Lender with
respect to this Agreement or such Lender’s Percentage Share of the Loan, so long as such Lender
requires substantially all obligors under other commitments of this type made available by such
Lender to similarly so compensate such Lender.
(ii) If a Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section
2.2.6, it shall promptly notify Borrower of the event by reason of which it has become so
entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts so claimed payable containing the calculation
thereof in reasonable detail submitted by a Lender to Borrower, accompanied by a certification that
such Lender has required substantially all obligors under other commitments of this type made
available by such Lender to similarly so compensate such Lender, shall constitute prima facie
evidence thereof.
(iii) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section 2.2.6 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such
compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate or reimburse a
Lender pursuant to this Article II for any increased costs or reductions in return in the event
such Lender does not notify Borrower within two hundred and seventy (270) days of such Lender
becoming aware of the circumstances; provided, further that if any of the
circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions in return are retroactive, then the
two hundred and seventy (270) day period referred to in the preceding proviso shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect. The provisions of this Section 2.2.6 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the Loan and all other Obligations.
-39-
2.2.7 Obligation of Lenders to Mitigate; Replacement of Lenders. Each Lender agrees
that:
(i) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible
for administering such Lender’s Percentage Share of the Loan becomes aware of any event or
condition that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.2.6
above or Section 2.2.9 below or to cease maintaining the Loan based on the LIBO Rate
under Section 2.2.4 above, such Lender will use reasonable efforts (i) to maintain
its Percentage Share of the Loan through another lending office of such Lender or (ii) take
such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the
additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to
Section 2.2.6 above or pursuant to Section 2.2.9 below would be materially
reduced or eliminated or the conditions rendering such Lender incapable of maintaining the
Loan based on the LIBO Rate under Section 2.2.4 above no longer would be applicable,
and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the maintaining of such
Lender’s Percentage Share of the Loan through such other lending office or in accordance
with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise materially adversely
affect the Loan or the interests of such Lender.
(ii) If (A) Borrower receives a notice pursuant to Section 2.2.6 above or
pursuant to Section 2.2.9 below or a notice pursuant to Section 2.2.4 above
stating that a Lender is unable to maintain the Loan based on the LIBO Rate (for reasons not
generally applicable to the Required Lenders) or (B) If any Lender (a “Non-Consenting
Lender”) does not consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with
respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent of one hundred percent (100%) of
Lenders and that has been approved by Required Lenders (each Lender delivering a notice
pursuant to clause (A) and each Non-Consenting Lender, an “Affected Lender”), then
so long as (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) Borrower has
obtained a commitment from another Lender or an Eligible Assignee to purchase at par such
Affected Lender’s Percentage Share of the Loan, Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments and
accrued interest and fees and to assume all obligations of the Affected Lender to be
replaced under the Loan Documents and (iii) such Affected Lender to be replaced is unwilling
to withdraw the notice delivered to Borrower or approve the proposed amendment, waiver,
consent or release with respect to such Loan Document, as applicable, upon twenty (20) days’
prior written notice to such Affected Lender and Administrative Agent, Borrower may require,
at Borrower’s expense, such Affected Lender to assign, without recourse, all of its
Percentage Share of the Loan, Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments and accrued interest and
fees to such other Lender or Eligible Assignee pursuant to the provisions of
Section 15.1 below. Upon any such assignment, the Affected Lender’s interest in the
Loan and its rights hereunder (but not its liability in respect thereof or under the Loan
Documents to the extent the same relate to the period prior to the effective date of the
purchase) shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Affected Lender shall promptly
execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the
purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Acceptance Agreement,
and shall pay to Administrative Agent an assignment fee as provided in Section 15.1.
In the case of an Affected Lender, the sum required to be paid upon assignment of its
Percentage Share of the Loan, Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments and accrued interest and
fees shall be (i) the purchase price equal to the outstanding principal of its Percentage
Share of the Loan, accrued interest thereon and all accrued fees owing to such Affected
Lender, all of which shall be paid by the Assignee, and (ii) all other amounts payable by
Borrower to such Affected Lender hereunder (including amounts, if any, payable under
Section 2.2.6 or Section 2.2.9), all of which shall be paid by Borrower.
-40-
2.2.8 Funding Indemnification. In addition to all other payment obligations
hereunder, in the event the Loan is accruing interest at the Applicable LIBO Rate and is prepaid in
full or in part prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether following a
voluntary prepayment, a mandatory prepayment (other than a mandatory prepayment arising under
Section 2.3.3(i) below when no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) or
otherwise, then Borrower shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) days of the request of
any lender, pay to such Lender, through Administrative Agent, an additional sum compensating such
Lender for losses, costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with such prepayment.
The loss to any Lender attributable to any such prepayment shall be deemed to include an amount
determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that
such Lender would have accrued on the principal amount so prepaid (the “Incremental
Payment”) from the date of such payment to the last day of the then-current Interest Period if
the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Reserve Adjusted LIBO Rate for such
Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn for such period on an
amount equal to the Incremental Payment if such Lender were to invest such amount for such period
at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for dollar
deposits from other banks in the eurodollar market at the commencement of such period. A
determination of any Lender as to the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.2.8 shall
be conclusive absent manifest error.
2.2.9 Taxes.
(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder or under any
other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes; provided that if Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that
after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section 2.2.9) Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower
shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
-41-
(ii) In addition, Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law.
(iii) Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) Business
Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
(including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts
payable under this Section 2.2.9) paid by Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case
may be, and any penalties, interest (except to the extent such penalties and/or interest arise as a
result of a Lender’s unreasonable delay in dealing with any such Indemnified Tax or Other Taxes)
and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a
Lender or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.
(iv) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by Borrower
to a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a
certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy
of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to
Administrative Agent.
(v) Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to Borrower (with copies to Administrative Agent) on or
before the date hereof (or in the case of a Foreign Lender who became a Lender by way of an
assignment, on or before the date of the assignment) or at least five (5) Business Days prior to
the first date for any payment herewith to such Lender, and from time to time as required for
renewal under applicable law, such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the
Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, including, without limitation, Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as appropriate, and any other certificate or statement of
exemption required by Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code or any subsequent version
thereof, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender establishing that payments to such
Lender hereunder are not subject to withholding or are subject to a reduced rate of withholding
under the Code or applicable tax treaty (“Evidence of No Withholding”). Each Foreign
Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent of any change in its applicable
lending office and upon written request of Borrower or Administrative Agent shall, prior to the
immediately following due date of any payment by Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan
Document, deliver Evidence of No Withholding to Borrower and Administrative Agent. Borrower shall
be entitled to rely on such forms in their possession until receipt of any revised or successor
form pursuant to this Section 2.2.9(v). If a Lender fails to provide Evidence of No
Withholding as required pursuant to this Section 2.2.9(v), then (i) Borrower (or
Administrative Agent) shall be entitled to deduct or withhold from payments to Administrative Agent
or such Lender as a result of such failure, as required by law, and (ii) Borrower shall not be
required to make payments of additional amounts with respect to such withheld Taxes pursuant to
Section 2.2.9(i) to the extent such withholding is required solely by reason of the failure
of such Lender to provide the necessary Evidence of No Withholding. Without limiting Borrower’s
rights under the immediately preceding sentence, a Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver
any form or statement pursuant to Section 2.2.9(v) that such foreign Lender is not legally
able to deliver.
-42-
(vi) If Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has
received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section
(including additional amounts paid by Borrower pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the
applicable indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made, or additional amounts paid, under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise
to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of Administrative Agent or
such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the applicable indemnifying
party, upon the request of Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees promptly to repay the amount
paid over pursuant to this Section (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) to Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event Administrative
Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (vi), in no event will Administrative
Agent or such Lender be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this
paragraph (vi) the payment of which would place Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less
favorable net after-tax position than Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the
indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.
This paragraph shall not be construed to require Administrative Agent or such Lender to make
available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems
confidential) to Borrower or any other Person. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall
be required to pay any amounts pursuant to this paragraph (vi) at any time that an Event of Default
exists, provided that such amounts shall become due and payable at the time such Event of Default
ceases to exist and no other Event of Default exists.
2.2.10 Post-Default/Maturity Date Interest. From and after the Maturity Date if the
entire Principal Amount is not repaid on the Maturity Date, and at the request of the Required
Lenders at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law,
overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan shall bear interest at a per annum
rate equal to three percent (3.0%) above the Applicable Base Rate or the Applicable LIBO Rate,
whichever mode is in effect at such time (the “Default Rate”). Interest at the Default
Rate shall be computed from the date of imposition of such interest at the Default Rate until no
Event of Default exists or the actual receipt and collection of the Indebtedness (or that portion
thereof that is then due). To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate
shall be added to the Indebtedness, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and
shall be secured by the Security Instrument. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement
or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Indebtedness, nor as a waiver of any other
right or remedy accruing to Administrative Agent or Lenders by reason of the occurrence of any
Event of Default, and Administrative Agent and each Lender retains its rights under the Notes to
accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Indebtedness upon the happening of any Event of
Default.
-43-
2.2.11 Computations. All computations of interest and fees payable hereunder shall be
based upon a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed (which results in more interest
being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year); provided, however, that
interest accruing at the Applicable Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or
366 days, as applicable, and the actual number of days elapsed.
2.2.12 Usury Savings. This Agreement and the Notes are subject to the express
condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the Principal
Amount of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lenders to either civil or criminal liability as a
result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the
Principal Amount due under the Notes at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, then the
Applicable LIBO Rate, the Applicable Base Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be
deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of
the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on
account of the interest due under the Notes. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lenders for the
use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of
the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does
not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the
Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
2.2.13 Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower
hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section 2.2 shall
survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder, and the termination of this
Agreement.
Section 2.3 Payments.
2.3.1 Evidence of Indebtedness. The obligation of Borrower to repay the Loan shall be
evidenced by notations on the books and records of Lenders. Such books and records shall
constitute prima facie evidence thereof. Any failure to record the interest rate applicable
thereto or any other information regarding the Obligations, or any error in doing so, shall not
limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower with respect to any of the Obligations.
Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to each Lender a Note evidencing such Lender’s
Percentage Share of the Loan provided that at all times all Notes issued by Borrower shall
be in the aggregate amount of the Principal Amount, as reduced by prior prepayment.
-44-
2.3.2 Nature and Place of Payments. All payments made on account of the Obligations
shall be made by Borrower, without setoff or counterclaim, in lawful money of the United States of
America in immediately available same day funds, free and clear of and without deduction for any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, fees or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any
taxing authority and must be received by Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the
day of payment, it being expressly agreed and understood that if a payment is received after 2:00
p.m. (New York time) by Administrative Agent, such payment will be considered to have been made by
Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable by Borrower at
the rate otherwise applicable thereto during such extension. All payments on account of the
Obligations shall be made to Administrative Agent through the Contact Office. If any payment
required to be made by Borrower hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business
Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest
thereon shall be payable at then applicable rate during such extension.
2.3.3 Prepayments.
(i) Borrower shall remit to Administrative Agent as a mandatory prepayment for application
against the outstanding Principal Amount:
(a) The Proceeds of a Casualty or Condemnation of the Property, to the extent
required to be applied to the prepayment of the Loan under Section 6.2.2.
(b) During any Cash Sweep Period, all sums required to be deposited in the Cash
Sweep Reserve Account shall be applied as provided in Section 3.1.5.
(ii) If prior to the Restricted Prepayment Date, the Obligations in respect of the principal
balance of the Loan are accelerated by reason of an Event of Default, then Lenders shall be
entitled to receive, in addition to the unpaid principal and accrued interest and other sums due
under the Loan Documents, an amount equal to the Prepayment Premium applicable to such principal so
accelerated or paid.
(iii) Upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent
(which shall promptly provide telephonic notice of the receipt thereof to each of Lenders),
Borrower may voluntarily prepay the principal amount outstanding under the Loan in whole or in part
(without any release of collateral securing the Loan) subject to the following conditions: (A) any
such prepayment of principal shall be accompanied by the payments required to be made under
Section 2.3.3(iv) below; and (B) voluntary prepayments shall be in the minimum amount of
$1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. Voluntary prepayments of
principal pursuant to this Section 2.3.3(iii), shall not relieve Borrower from the
obligation to make mandatory prepayments pursuant to Section 2.3.3(i).
-45-
(iv) Borrower acknowledges that (a) Lenders are making the Loan in consideration of the
receipt by Lenders of all interest and other benefits intended to be conferred by the Loan
Documents and (b) if payments of principal are made to Lenders prior to the Restricted Prepayment
Date voluntarily or involuntarily as a result of the acceleration of the Loan after an Event of
Default, Lenders will not receive all such interest and other benefits and may, in addition, incur
costs. For these reasons, and to induce Lenders to make the Loan, Borrower agrees that all
payments made voluntarily or involuntarily (other than due to a casualty or condemnation and other
than by application of amounts on deposit in the Cash Sweep Reserve Account to the outstanding
Principal Amount) or after the acceleration of the principal amount of the Loan on or prior to the
Restricted Prepayment Date will be accompanied by the Prepayment Premium. Such Prepayment Premium
shall be required whether payment is made by Borrower, by a Person on behalf of Borrower, or by the
purchaser at any foreclosure sale, and may be included in any bid by Lenders at such sale.
Borrower further acknowledges that (A) it is a knowledgeable real estate developer and/or investor;
(B) it fully understands the effect of the provisions of this Section 2.3.3(iv), as well as
the other provisions of the Loan Documents; (C) the making of the Loan by Lenders at the interest
rate provided and other terms set forth in the Loan Documents are sufficient consideration for
Borrower’s obligation to pay a Prepayment Premium (if required); and (D) Lenders would not make the
Loan on the terms set forth herein without the inclusion of such provisions. Borrower also
acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement limiting the right of prepayment and providing
for the payment of the Prepayment Premium and other charges specified herein were independently
negotiated and bargained for, and constitute a specific material part of the consideration given by
Borrower to Lenders for the making of the Loan.
(v) Borrower shall pay in connection with any prepayment hereunder, whether voluntary or
mandatory, (a) all interest accrued but unpaid on that portion of the Loan to which such prepayment
is applied (which interest, if such prepayment is made on a date other than a Payment Date, shall
be deemed to have accrued on such portion of the Loan through the end of the Interest Period in
which such prepayment occurs), (b) with respect to voluntary or involuntary prepayments prior to
the Restricted Prepayment Date (other than due to a casualty or condemnation and other than by
application of amounts on deposit in the Cash Sweep Reserve Account to the outstanding Principal
Amount), the Prepayment Premium, (c) all amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.2.8 above,
and (d) all costs and expenses of Administrative Agent and Lenders incurred in connection with the
prepayment (including without limitation, any costs and expenses associated with a release of any
Liens as well as reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), in each case concurrently with payment
of any principal amounts.
2.3.4 Allocation of Payments Received.
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the Obligations, and
unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts received by Administrative Agent on account
of the Obligations shall be disbursed by Administrative Agent to Lenders pro rata in accordance
with their respective Percentage Shares, by wire transfer of like funds received on the date of
receipt if received by Administrative Agent before 2:00 p.m. (New York time) or if received later,
by 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the next succeeding Business Day, without further interest payable
by Administrative Agent.
-46-
(ii) Following the occurrence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the Obligations, all
amounts received by Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations, shall be promptly disbursed
by Administrative Agent as follows:
(A) First, to the payment of out-of-pocket third party expenses and fees
incurred by Administrative Agent in the performance of its duties and the
enforcement of the rights of Lenders under the Loan Documents, including, without
limitation, all costs and expenses of collection, “workout”, reasonable attorneys’
fees, court costs and other amounts payable as provided in Section 14.7
below;
(B) Then, to Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage
Shares, until interest accrued on the Loan has been paid in full;
(C) Then, to Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage
Shares, until principal under the Loan has been paid in full;
(D) Then, to Lenders, pro rata to each Lender in accordance with the amount
expressed in a percentage, which the amount of remaining Obligations owed to such
Lender bears to all remaining Obligations held by all Lenders, until all other
Obligations have been paid in full.
(iii) The order of priority set forth in Section 2.3.4(ii) and the related provisions
of this Agreement are set forth solely to determine the rights and priorities of Administrative
Agent and the other Lenders as among themselves. The order of priority set forth in clauses (B)
through (D) of Section 2.3.4(ii) may at any time and from time to time be changed by the
Required Lenders without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by Borrower or any other
Person. The order of priority set forth in clause (A) of Section 2.3.4(ii) may be changed
only with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent.
2.3.5 Prepayments After Event of Default. If, following an Event of Default,
Administrative Agent shall accelerate the Indebtedness and Borrower thereafter tenders payment of
all or any part of the Indebtedness, or if all or any portion of the Indebtedness is recovered by
Lenders after such Event of Default, (a) such payment may be made only on the next occurring
Payment Date together with all unpaid interest thereon as calculated through the end of the
Interest Period during which such Payment Date occurs (even if such period extends beyond such
Payment Date and calculated as if such payment had not been made on such Payment Date), and all
other fees and sums payable hereunder or under the Loan Documents, including without limitation,
interest that has accrued at the Default Rate, any Late Payment Charges, and the payment of any
Prepayment Premium, if any), and (b) such payment shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment by
Borrower.
-47-
2.3.6 Release of Property. Administrative Agent shall, at the expense of Borrower,
upon payment in full of the Principal Amount and interest on the Loan and all other amounts due and
payable under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, release the Lien of (i) this Agreement upon the Account Collateral and
the Rate Cap Collateral and (ii) the Security Instrument on the Property or assign it, in whole or
in part, to a new lender without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind. In such event,
Borrower shall submit to Administrative Agent, on a date prior to the date of such release or
assignment sufficient to provide a reasonable period for review thereof, a release of lien or
assignment of lien, as applicable, for such property for execution by Administrative Agent. Such
release or assignment, as applicable, shall be in a form appropriate in each jurisdiction in which
the Property is located and satisfactory to Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion. In
addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Administrative Agent reasonably requires
to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release or assignment, as applicable. Borrower
shall not be entitled to any release of the Lien on any Collateral as a result of any partial
prepayment of the Loan.
2.3.7 Voluntary Commitment Reductions. Notwithstanding anything else contained in
this Agreement, Borrower may reduce the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments, in whole or in part, at
any time.
Section 2.4 Conditions Precedent to Closing. The obligation of Lenders to make the
Term Loans to be funded on the Closing Date hereunder is subject to the fulfillment by, or on
behalf of, Borrower or waiver by Administrative Agent of the following conditions precedent no
later than the Closing Date; provided, however, that unless a condition precedent
shall expressly survive the Closing Date pursuant to a separate agreement, by funding the Loan,
Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have waived any such conditions not theretofore fulfilled

(the “Collection Account”), which has been established as an interest-bearing deposit

daily basis to the Hotel Operating Account. Pursuant to the Hotel Operating Account Agreement,
Hotel Operating Account Bank shall comply with instructions of Manager or Operating Lessee with
respect to funds held in the Hotel Operating Account until such time as Hotel Operating Account

Account Agreement, Borrower shall irrevocably instruct and authorize Cash Management Bank to

of, Borrower. Borrower agrees that, prior to the payment in full of the Obligations, the terms and
conditions of the Hotel Operating Account Agreement, the Collection Account Agreement and the
Holding Account Agreement shall not be amended or modified without the prior written consent of
Administrative Agent (which consent Administrative Agent may grant or withhold in its sole
discretion). In recognition of Administrative Agent’s security interest in the funds deposited
into and the securities and other assets credited to the Collection Account, the Hotel Operating
Account and the Holding Account, Borrower shall identify each of the Collection Account, the Hotel
Operating Account and the Holding Account with the name of Administrative Agent, as secured party.
The Collection Account shall be named as follows: “Xxxxxx Hotel, New York, NY f/b/o Deutsche Bank
Trust Company Americas, as Administrative Agent Collection Account”. The Hotel Operating Account
shall be named as follows: “Xxxxxx Hotel, New York, NY f/b/o Deutsche Bank Trust Company
Americas, as Administrative Agent Hotel Operating Account”. The Holding Account shall be named as
follows: “Xxxxxx Hotel, New York, NY f/b/o Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Administrative
Agent Holding Account”. The following sub-accounts shall be established in the Holding Account
(each, a “Sub-Account” and, collectively, the “Sub-Accounts” and together with the
Holding Account and the Collection Account, the “Collateral Accounts”), which (i) may be
ledger or book entry sub-accounts and need not be actual sub-accounts, (ii) shall each be linked to
the Holding Account, (iii) shall each be a “Securities Account” pursuant to Article 8 of
the UCC and (iv) shall each be an account to which certain funds shall be allocated and from which
disbursements shall be made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement:
(A) a sub-account for the retention of Account Collateral in respect of Impositions and
Other Charges for the Property (the “Tax Reserve Account”);
-54-
(B) a sub-account for the retention of Account Collateral in respect of insurance
premiums for the Property (the “Insurance Reserve Account”);
(C) a sub-account for the retention of Account Collateral in respect of Approved
Operating Expenses after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Sweep Period
(the “Operating Expense Reserve Account”);
(D) a sub-account for the retention of Account Collateral in respect of current Debt
Service on the Loan (the “Current Debt Service Reserve Account”);

Proceeds as more fully set forth in Section 6.2 (the “Proceeds Reserve
Account”);

“FF&E Reserve Account”);
(G) a sub-account for the retention of Account Collateral in respect of reserves for
the payment of Ground Rent (the “Ground Rent Reserve Account”);

(I) a sub-account in respect of Required Repairs (the “Required Repairs Reserve
Account”).
3.1.2 Pledge of Account Collateral. To secure the full and punctual payment and
performance of the Obligations, Borrower hereby collaterally assigns, grants a security interest in
and pledges to Administrative Agent, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law (and shall
cause the other Transaction Parties to execute the Accommodation Security Documents with respect
thereto), a first priority continuing security interest in and to the following property of
Borrower whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and regardless of where
located (all of the same, collectively, the “Account Collateral”):

(iii) such that neither Borrower nor Manager shall have any right of withdrawal from the Collection
Account and, except as provided herein, no Account Collateral shall be released to Borrower or
Manager from the Collection Account or the Hotel Operating Account. Without limiting Borrower’s

the Collection Account with a financial institution that has executed an agreement substantially in
the form of the Collection Account Agreement or in such other form acceptable to Administrative

Accounts be registered in the name of Borrower or Manager, payable to the order of Borrower or

applicable laws, and such applicable regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System and of any other banking or governmental authority, as may now or hereafter be in effect.

investments held in such accounts shall be periodically added to the principal amount of such
accounts and shall be held, disbursed and applied in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement, the Holding Account Agreement, the Collection Account Agreement and the Hotel Operating
Account Agreement. Borrower shall be the beneficial owner of the Collateral Accounts and the Hotel
Operating Account for federal income tax purposes and shall report all income on the Collateral

instructions, or as soon thereafter as sufficient funds are in the Holding Account to make the
applicable transfers or ledger or book entries, funds in the following amounts and in the following
order of priority:
(i) at any such time that Manager does not reserve for or otherwise set aside and pay
Impositions and Other Charges directly, funds in an amount equal to the Monthly Tax Reserve

the premium is due) to permit Administrative Agent to pay insurance premiums for the
insurance required to be maintained pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Security
Instrument on the respective due dates therefor (up to a maximum amount equal to the
aggregate annual insurance premium required hereunder), and Administrative Agent shall so
pay such funds to the insurance company having the right to receive such funds;
(iii) at any such time that Manager does not reserve for or otherwise set aside and pay
Ground Rent, funds in an amount equal to the Monthly Ground Rent Reserve Amount and any

that the Officer’s Certificate delivered to Administrative Agent on a monthly or quarterly
basis by Borrower pursuant to Article XI certifies that actual Operating Expenses
for such calendar month or quarter were either less than or greater than Approved Operating
Expenses, and Administrative Agent receives such other evidence thereof reasonably
satisfactory to Administrative Agent, then Administrative Agent may direct Cash Management
Bank to increase or decrease the amount of the Approved Operating Expense transfer to be
made for the month following the month in which such Officer’s Certificate was delivered,
such adjustment to be in an amount determined by Administrative Agent to appropriately
reflect such difference between actual Operating Expenses and Approved Operating Expenses;

to a shortfall therein, and transfer the same to the Cash Sweep Reserve Account, until such
Cash Sweep Reserve Account has been replenished;
(viii) at any such time that Manager does not reserve or otherwise set aside for FF&E

respect to the Loan on each Payment Date, and Administrative Agent, on each Payment Date,
shall apply such funds to the payment of the Debt Service shortfall payable on such Payment
Date; and
(xi) provided no Cash Sweep Period or Event of Default has occurred and is then
continuing and subject to the provisions of Section 3.1.5(B), funds in an amount
equal to the balance (if any) remaining or deposited in the Holding Account after the
foregoing deposits (such remainder being hereinafter referred to as “Excess Cash
Flow”) and transfer the same to Borrower’s Account, free of any Lien or continuing

(B) If Administrative Agent shall determine in good faith that there will be insufficient
amounts in the Holding Account to make any of the transfers pursuant to Section 3.1.5(A) on
the date required hereunder, Administrative Agent shall provide notice to Borrower of such
insufficiency (except that in no event shall Administrative Agent be required to notify Borrower of
any deficiency in the Current Debt Service Reserve Account, such deficiency on any Payment Date
being an Event of Default) and, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of said notice Borrower
shall deposit into the Holding Account an amount equal to the shortfall of available funds in the
Holding Account taking into account any funds which accumulate in the Holding Account during such
five (5) day Business Day period. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default due to a deficiency
in the Current Debt Service Reserve Account on any Payment Date, Administrative Agent shall notify
Borrower of said Event of Default within five (5) Business Days thereafter; provided,
however, Administrative Agent’s failure to notify Borrower shall not be deemed a waiver of
said Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in
the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall not be deemed to be in Default hereunder (and no Default
Rate or Late Payment Charge shall be applicable) in the event (i) no other Default or Event of
Default is then continuing; (ii) funds sufficient for a required transfer are held in an

Borrower’s Account and Borrower shall then pay such Approved Operating Expenses;

pending further transfer and application in accordance with this Section 3.1.10, and

instruments and exercise and enforce every right, power, remedy, option and privilege of Borrower
with respect to the Account Collateral, and do in the name, place and stead of Borrower, all such
acts, things and deeds for and on behalf of and in the name of Borrower, which Borrower could or

thereof, Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to any Account Collateral in its possession or
control as agent therefor or bailee thereof or any income thereon or the preservation of rights
against any person or otherwise with respect thereto. Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Account Collateral in its
possession if the Account Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which

4.1.41 Knowledge Qualifications. Borrower represents that Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx and
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx are in a position to have meaningful knowledge with respect to the matters set
forth in the Loan Documents which have been qualified to the knowledge of such Persons.
4.1.42 Leases. Borrower represents that it has heretofore delivered to Administrative
Agent true and complete copies of all Leases and any and all amendments or modifications thereof.
4.1.43 Intentionally Omitted.
4.1.44 Intellectual Property. All the Intellectual Property used in, held for use in,
or necessary for the use, ownership, management, leasing, renovation, financing, development,
operation and maintenance of the Property by Borrower or Manager (including, without limitation the
trademark “Xxxxxx Hotel” and the reservations system at the Property) is owned or licensed by
Manager or Affiliates of Manager and is used in connection with the use, ownership, management,
leasing, renovation, financing, development, operation and maintenance of the Property by Borrower
and Manager with the consent of the owners thereof consistent with past practices. As of the
Closing Date, no Person other than Manager owns any Intellectual Property that is necessary for or
used in the current use, ownership, management, leasing, renovation, financing, development,
operation and maintenance of the Property consistent with past practices except as may be licensed
to Borrower or the Manager under the IP Licenses. Borrower is duly qualified under applicable law
in each jurisdiction in which it is required to be qualified pursuant to applicable Legal
Requirements in order to act as a licensor of the Intellectual Property and sublicensor to the
extent they are permitted to do so under the IP License Agreements. Attached hereto as Schedule IX
is a complete and accurate list of all of the registered and pending applications for registration,
anywhere in the world, for all Intellectual Property owned by Borrower and all IP Licenses to which
Borrower is a party (the “IP Schedule”). Except as set forth on Schedule I, there is no
action or proceeding pending, or to the Best of Borrower’s Knowledge, threatened by or against
Borrower or any Affiliate thereof: (x) alleging the infringement, dilution, misappropriation, or
other violation of any Intellectual Property or (y) seeking to limit, cancel, or question the
validity or enforceability of any IP Collateral (including, without limitation, the right to
proceeds therefrom and the right to bring an action at law or in equity for any infringement,
dilution, or violation of such Intellectual Property and to collect all damages, settlements, and
proceeds relating to such Intellectual Property), or Borrower’s rights or interests therein, or use
thereof. To the Best of Borrower’s Knowledge, no Person has interfered with, infringed upon,
diluted, misappropriated, or otherwise come into conflict with any Intellectual Property of
Borrower. Neither the Intellectual Property owned by Borrower nor Borrower’s use of the
Intellectual Property is subject to any outstanding injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling, or
charge. Borrower, in its reasonable discretion, has made all filings and recordations in the
United States and in all foreign jurisdictions, as applicable, necessary to adequately effect,
reflect, and protect its ownership in, right to use, or its license of Intellectual Property used
or held for the use, ownership, management, leasing, renovation, financing, development, operation
and maintenance of the Property by Borrower or Manager. All Intellectual Property set forth on the
IP Schedule, is subsisting, unexpired, has not been abandoned in any applicable jurisdiction, and
is valid and enforceable and, to Borrower’s knowledge, the use of the IP Collateral in the manner
in which it is currently used or planned to be used does not infringe, dilute, misappropriate, or
otherwise violate the rights of any Person.

(a) Recording; Modification. A memorandum of each Ground Lease has been duly
recorded. The Ground Lease permits the interest of Borrower to be encumbered by a mortgage.
Except as set forth on Schedule VIII, there have not been amendments or modifications to
the terms of the Ground Lease since its recordation, with the exception of written instruments
which have been recorded. The Ground Lease may not be canceled, terminated, surrendered or amended
without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent.
(b) No Liens. Except for the Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower’s interest in the
Ground Lease is not subject to any Liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with,
the Security Instrument other than the ground lessor’s related fee interest. Such Ground Lease is,
and shall remain, prior to any mortgage or Lien upon the ground lessor’s related fee interest.
(c) Ground Lease Assignable. Borrower’s interest in the Ground Lease is assignable to
Administrative Agent upon notice to, but without the consent of, the ground lessor (or, if any such
consent is required, it has been obtained prior to the Closing Date). The Ground Lease is further
assignable by Administrative Agent, its successors and assigns without the consent of the ground
lessor.
(d) Default. As of the date hereof, the Ground Lease is in full force and effect and
no default has occurred under the Ground Lease and, to the Best of Borrower’s Knowledge, there is
no existing condition which, but for the passage of time and/or the giving of notice, could result
in a default under the terms of the Ground Lease. All rents, additional rents and other sums due
and payable under the Ground Lease have been paid in full. Neither Borrower nor the ground lessor
under the Ground Lease has commenced any action or given or received any notice for the purpose of
terminating the Ground Lease.
-77-
(e) Notice. The Ground Lease requires the ground lessor to give notice of any default
by Borrower to Administrative Agent. The Ground Lease, or estoppel letters received by
Administrative Agent from the ground lessor, further provides that notice of termination given
under the Ground Lease is not effective against Administrative Agent unless a copy of the notice
has been delivered to Administrative Agent in the manner described in the Ground Lease.
(f) Cure. Administrative Agent is permitted the opportunity (including, where
necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of Borrower under the Ground Lease)
to cure any default under the Ground Lease, after the receipt of notice of the default, before the
ground lessor thereunder may terminate the Ground Lease.
(g) Term. The Ground Lease has a term which extends not less than twenty (20) years
beyond the Final Extended Maturity Date.
(h) New Lease. The Ground Lease requires the ground lessor to enter into a new lease
with Administrative Agent upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including rejection
of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding.
(i) Insurance Proceeds. Under the terms of the Ground Lease and the Security
Instrument, taken together, any related insurance and condemnation proceeds will be applied either
to the repair or restoration of all or part of the Property, with Administrative Agent having the
right to hold and disburse the proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment
of the Principal Amount together with any accrued interest thereon.
(j) Subleasing. The Ground Lease does not impose commercially unreasonable
restrictions on subleasing.
4.1.46 Survival of Representations. Borrower agrees that all of the representations
and warranties of Borrower set forth in Section 4.1 and elsewhere in this Agreement and in
the other Loan Documents shall be deemed given and made as of the date of the funding of the Loan
and survive for so long as any amount remains owing to Lenders under this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents by Borrower or any Transaction Party unless a longer survival period is
expressly stated in a Loan Document with respect to a specific representation or warranty, in which
case, for such longer period. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in
this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents by Borrower shall be deemed to have been relied upon
by Administrative Agent and Lenders notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made
by Administrative Agent or Lenders or on each of their behalf.

other Accommodation Security Documents in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Administrative Agent to comply with and
to cause Manager to comply with, the following covenants:
5.1.1 Performance by Borrower. Borrower shall observe, perform and fulfill each and
every covenant, term and provision of each Loan Document executed and delivered by, or applicable
to, Borrower, in accordance with the provisions of each Loan Document.
5.1.2 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements; Insurance. Subject to Borrower’s
right of contest pursuant to Section 7.3, Borrower shall comply and cause the Property to

things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights,
licenses, permits and franchises necessary to comply in all material respects with all Legal
Requirements applicable to it and the Property. There shall never be committed by Borrower, and
Borrower shall not knowingly permit any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation
or use of the Property to commit, any act or omission affording the federal government or any state
or local government the right of forfeiture as against the Property or any part thereof or any
monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Borrower
hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, knowingly permit or suffer to exist any act or omission
affording such right of forfeiture. Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all
material franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of its property used in the
conduct of its business and shall keep the Property in good working order and repair, and from time
to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements,
betterments and improvements thereto. Borrower shall keep the Property insured at all times to
such extent and against such risks, and maintain liability and such other insurance, as set forth
in this Agreement.

Affiliates, the salaries of and the expenses related to providing benefits to such officers and
other employees shall be fairly allocated among such entities, and each such entity shall bear its
fair share of the salary and benefit costs associated with all such common officers and employees.
(D) To the extent that any Borrower jointly contracts with any of its Affiliates to do
business with vendors or service providers or to share overhead expenses, the costs incurred in so
doing shall be allocated fairly among such entities, and each such entity shall bear its fair share
of such costs. To the extent that any Borrower contracts or does business with vendors or service
providers where the goods and services provided are partially for the benefit of any other Person,
the costs incurred in so doing shall be fairly allocated to or among such entities for whose
benefit the goods and services are provided, and each such entity shall bear its fair share of such
costs. All material transactions between (or among) Borrower and any of their Affiliates shall be
conducted on substantially the same terms (or on more favorable terms for Borrower) as would be
conducted with third parties.

entity is treated as a “disregarded entity” for tax purposes and not required to file tax returns
under applicable law or to the extent that it is required by Legal Requirements to file
consolidated federal or unitary state tax returns (or any analogous combined state tax returns),
prepare separate tax returns and financial statements, provided that each Borrower may be included
in a consolidated financial statement of its Affiliates provided that appropriate notation shall be
made on such consolidated financial statements to indicate the separateness of each Borrower and
such Affiliates and to indicate that such Borrower’s assets and credit are not available to satisfy
the debts and other obligations of such Affiliates or any other Person; (vi) except as permitted by
the Loan Documents, transact all business with its Affiliates on an arm’s-length basis;

of the Property pursuant to Section 6.1.

reflect such severance and/or Opinions of Counsel with respect to such substitute or component
notes, amendments and/or replacements, provided that Borrower shall bear no costs or
expenses in connection therewith (other than administrative costs and expenses of Borrower and
legal fees of counsel to Borrower and each Transaction Party). Any such substitute or component

5.1.26 Ground Lease.
(a) Borrower shall:
(i) pay all rents, additional rents and other sums required to be paid by Borrower, as
tenant under and pursuant to the provisions of the Ground Lease, as and when such rent,
additional rents and other sums are payable;
-87-
(ii) diligently perform and observe all of the other terms, covenants and conditions of
the Ground Lease on the part of Borrower, as tenant thereunder, to be performed and
observed, at least three (3) days prior to the expiration of any applicable grace period
therein provided; and
(iii) promptly notify Administrative Agent of the receipt by Borrower of any written
notice by the lessor under the Ground Lease to Borrower of any default by Borrower in the
performance or observance of any of the material terms, covenants or conditions of the
Ground Lease on the part of Borrower, as tenant thereunder, to be performed or observed, and
deliver to Administrative Agent a true copy of each such notice.
(b) Borrower shall not, without the prior consent of Administrative Agent, surrender the
leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or terminate or cancel the Ground Lease or modify,
change, supplement, alter or amend the Ground Lease, in any material respect, either orally or in
writing, and Borrower hereby assigns to Administrative Agent, as further security for the payment
and performance of the Obligations, all of the rights, privileges and prerogatives of Borrower, as
tenant under the Ground Lease, to surrender the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or to
terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Ground Lease in any material
respect, and any such surrender of the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or termination,
cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Ground Lease in any
material respect without the prior consent of Administrative Agent shall be void and of no force
and effect.
(c) If Borrower shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant
or condition of the Ground Lease on the part of Borrower, as tenant thereunder, to be performed or
observed, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of the Security Instrument,
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of
its Obligations, Administrative Agent shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to
pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all of the
material terms, covenants and conditions of the Ground Lease on the part of Borrower, as tenant
thereunder, to be performed or observed or to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of
Borrower, to the end that the rights of Borrower in, to and under the Ground Lease shall be kept
unimpaired as a result thereof and free from default, even though the existence of such event of
default or the nature thereof be questioned or denied by Borrower or by any party on behalf of
Borrower. If Administrative Agent shall make any payment or perform any act or take action in
accordance with the preceding sentence, Administrative Agent will notify Borrower of the making of
any such payment, the performance of any such act or the taking of any such action. In any such
event, subject to the rights of Tenants, subtenants and other occupants under the Leases or of
parties to any reciprocal easement agreement, Administrative Agent and any Person designated as
Administrative Agent’s agent by Administrative Agent shall have, and are hereby granted, the right
to enter upon the Property at any reasonable time, on reasonable notice (which may be given
verbally) and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action. Administrative Agent
may pay and expend such sums of money as Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary for any
such purpose and upon so doing shall be subrogated to any and all rights of the landlord under the
Ground Lease. Borrower hereby agrees to pay to Administrative Agent within five (5) days after

thereon from the day of such payment at the Default Rate. All sums so paid and expended by
Administrative Agent and the interest thereon shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the
other Loan Documents.
-88-
(d) If the lessor under the Ground Lease shall deliver to Administrative Agent a copy of any
notice of default sent by said lessor to Borrower, as tenant under the Ground Lease, such notice
shall constitute full protection to Administrative Agent for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by Administrative Agent, in good faith, in reliance thereon. Borrower shall exercise each
individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of the Ground Lease upon demand by
Administrative Agent made at any time within one (1) year prior to the last day upon which any such
option may be exercised, and if Borrower shall fail to do so, Borrower hereby expressly authorizes
and appoints Administrative Agent its attorney-in-fact to exercise any such option in the name of
and upon behalf of Borrower, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be
coupled with an interest. Borrower will not subordinate or consent to the subordination of the
Ground Lease to any mortgage, security deed, lease or other interest on or in the landlord’s
interest in all or any part of the Property, unless, in each such case, the written consent of
Administrative Agent shall have been first had and obtained.

respect to another unit owner.

destruction of the Property, vote in opposition to a motion to repair, restore, or rebuild; or (iv)
notwithstanding anything contained in the Declaration or Condominium Rules to the contrary,
subdivide any of the Condominium Units.
-89-
(e) In each and every case in which, under the provisions of the Condominium Declaration or
the Condominium Rules, the consent or the vote of the owners of Condominium Units is required,
Borrower shall not vote or give such consent so as to impair the lien of the Security Instrument or
the security therefor without, in each and every case, the prior written consent of Administrative
Agent.
(f) Borrower shall promptly pay, as the same become due and payable, all common charges or
other payments for maintenance and reserve funds and all assessments as required by the Condominium
Declaration or the Condominium Rules or any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and shall
promptly upon demand deliver to Administrative Agent receipts for all such payments. In the event
that Borrower fails to make such payments as the same become due and payable, Administrative Agent
may from time to time at its option, but without any obligation to do so and only after five (5)
Business Days’ written notice to Borrower of its intent to do so, make such payments, and the same
shall be added to the debt secured by the Loan Documents, and shall bear interest until repaid at
the Default Rate; provided, however, that the failure of Borrower to make any such payment
or to exhibit such receipts shall, at the election of Administrative Agent constitute an Event of
Default.
(g) In the event of the failure of Borrower to perform any of its obligations relating to the
Property under the Condominium Declaration or Condominium Rules within a period of five (5)
Business Days (unless the Condominium Board requires sooner performance) after notice from the
Condominium Board or from Administrative Agent of such failure, or in the case of any such default
which cannot with due diligence be cured or remedied within such period, if Borrower fails to
proceed promptly after such notice to cure or remedy the same with due diligence, then in any such
case, Administrative Agent may from time to time at its option, but without any obligation so to
do, cure or remedy any such default of Borrower (Borrower hereby authorizing Administrative Agent
to enter upon the Property as may be necessary for such purposes), and all sums expended by
Administrative Agent for such purposes, including reasonable counsel fees, shall be added to the
debt secured by the Loan Documents, shall become due and payable on demand and shall bear interest
until repaid at the Default Rate and shall be added to the indebtedness secured by the Loan
Documents; provided, however, that the failure of Borrower to cure or remedy such default
within such five (5) Business Day period, or, in the case in which such cannot be kept or performed
within such five (5) Business Day period, provided Borrower has commenced to cure such default and
is diligently pursuing same to completion, such additional time as is needed to so complete, shall,
at the election of Administrative Agent, not constitute an Event of Default.
(h) Subject to all Legal Requirements, the terms of the Condominium Declaration and the
Condominium Rules, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
Administrative Agent shall have the right to require that any members (or representatives) of the
Condominium Board or any other condominium or owners association created under the Condominium
Regime and any officers thereof, that are in each case elected (or appointed) by Borrower tender
their written resignation and Administrative Agent shall have the right to replace such members or
representatives with persons elected or appointed by Administrative Agent. Further, Borrower shall
cooperate with Administrative Agent in all respects to replace said members and officers elected or
appointed by Borrower with members and officers of Administrative Agent’s choosing.

existence of an Event of Default hereunder, pay to Administrative Agent at the time of each payment
of an installment of interest under the Notes, an additional amount sufficient to discharge the
obligations under clause (f) when they become due. The determination of the amount so payable and
of the fractional part thereof to be deposited with Administrative Agent, so that the aggregate of
such deposits shall be sufficient for this purpose, shall be made by Administrative Agent in its
sole discretion. Such amounts shall be held by Administrative Agent without interest and applied
to the payment of the obligations in respect of which such amounts were deposited or, at
Administrative Agent’s option, to the payment of said obligations in such order or priority as
Administrative Agent shall determine, on or before the respective dates on which the same or any of
them would become delinquent. If one month prior to the due date of any of the aforementioned
obligations the amounts then on deposit therefor shall be insufficient for the payment of such
obligation in full, Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days after demand, deposit the amount
of the deficiency with Administrative Agent. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect
any right or remedy of Administrative Agent under any provisions of this Agreement or any of the
Loan Documents or of any statute or rule of law to pay any such amount and to add the amount so
paid, together with interest at the Default Rate, to the Obligations secured by the Loan Documents.

compliance with the Patriot Act and all applicable requirements of Governmental Authorities having
jurisdiction over Borrower and/or the Property, including those relating to money laundering and
terrorism. In the event that Borrower fails to comply with the
Patriot Act or any such requirements of Governmental Authorities, then Administrative Agent

by Administrative Agent in connection therewith shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the

a Non-Contributory Standard Lender Clause and, except with respect to general liability insurance
and workers’ compensation insurance, a Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement, or their equivalents;
(iii) shall include effective waivers by the insurer of all claims for insurance premiums against
all loss payees, additional insureds and named insureds (other than Borrower) and all rights of
subrogation against any loss payee, additional insured or named insured; (iv) except as otherwise
provided above, shall be subject to a deductible, if any, not greater in any material respect than
the deductible for such coverage on the date hereof; (v) shall contain such provisions as
Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary or desirable to protect its interest, including
endorsements providing that neither Borrower, Administrative Agent nor any other party shall be a
Contributor-insurer (except deductibles) under said Policies and that no material modification,
reduction, cancellation or termination in amount of, or material change (other than an increase)
in, coverage of any of the Policies shall be effective until at least thirty (30) days after
receipt by each named insured, additional insured and loss payee of written notice thereof or ten
(10) days after receipt of such notice with respect to nonpayment of premium; (vi) shall permit
Administrative Agent to pay the premiums and continue any insurance upon failure of Borrower to pay
premiums within a period of time that could result in policy cancellation, upon the insolvency of
Borrower or through foreclosure or other transfer of title to the Property (it being understood
that Borrower’s rights to coverage under such policies may not be assignable without the consent of
the insurer); and (vii) shall provide that the insurance shall not be impaired or invalidated by
virtue of (A) any act, failure to act, negligence of, or violation of declarations, warranties or
conditions contained in such policy by Borrower, Administrative Agent or any other named insured,
additional insured or loss payee, except for the willful misconduct of Administrative Agent
knowingly in violation of the conditions of such policy, (B) the occupation, use, operation or
maintenance of the Property for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms of the Policy,
(C) any
foreclosure or other proceeding or notice of sale relating to the Property, or (D) any change
in the possession of the Property without a change in the identity of the holder of actual title to
the Property (provided that with respect to items (C) and (D), any notice requirements of
the applicable Policies are satisfied). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes hereof,
Administrative Agent hereby approves the existing insurance policies as of the Closing Date and any
renewals thereof with the same insurance ratings and terms.
-99-
6.1.14 Premiums; Certificates; Renewals.
(A) Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid the premiums for such Policies (the “Insurance
Premiums”) as the same become due and payable and shall furnish to Administrative Agent upon
request the receipts for the payment of the Insurance Premiums or other evidence of such payment
reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent (provided, however, that Borrower
is not required to furnish such evidence of payment to Administrative Agent if such Insurance
Premiums are to be paid by Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement). Within
thirty (30) days after request by Administrative Agent, Borrower shall obtain such increases in the
amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be reasonably requested in writing by Administrative
Agent (except with respect to the Terrorism Insurance required hereunder), taking into
consideration changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and practices, and the like for
hotels similar to the Property. In the event Borrower satisfies the requirements under this
Section 6.1.14 through the use of a Policy covering properties in addition to the Property,
then (unless such policy is provided in substantially the same manner as it is as of the date
hereof), Borrower shall provide evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent that the Insurance
Premiums for the Property are separately allocated under such Policy to the Property and that
payment of such allocated amount (A) shall maintain the effectiveness of such Policy as to the
Property and (B) shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate policy that
complies with the terms of this Agreement as to the Property, notwithstanding the failure of
payment of any other portion of the insurance premiums. If no such allocation is available,
Administrative Agent shall have the right to increase the amount required to be deposited into the
Insurance Reserve Account in an amount sufficient to purchase a nonblanket Policy covering the
Property from insurance companies which qualify under this Agreement.
(B) Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date
certificates setting forth in reasonable detail the material terms (including any applicable notice
requirements) of all Policies from the respective insurance companies (or their authorized agents)
that issued the Policies, including that such Policies may not be cancelled or modified in any
material respect without thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Administrative Agent, or ten (10) days’
notice with respect to nonpayment of premium. Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent,
concurrently with each change in any Policy, a certificate with respect to such changed Policy
certified by the insurance company issuing that Policy, in substantially the same form and
containing substantially the same information as the certificates required to be delivered by
Borrower pursuant to the first sentence of this clause (i) and stating that all premiums then due
thereon have been paid to the applicable insurers and that the same are in full force and effect
(or
if such certificate and/or other information described in this clause (ii) shall not be
obtainable by Borrower, Borrower may deliver an Officer’s Certificate to such effect in lieu
thereof).
-100-
(C) Within one (1) Business Day prior to the expiration, termination or cancellation of any
Policy, Borrower shall renew such policy or obtain a replacement policy or policies (or a binding
commitment for such replacement policy or policies), which shall be effective no later than the
date of the expiration, termination or cancellation of the previous policy, and shall deliver to
Administrative Agent a certificate in respect of such policy or policies (A) containing the same
information as the certificates required to be delivered by Borrower pursuant to clause (b) above,
or a copy of the binding commitment for such policy or policies and (B) confirming that such policy
complies with all requirements hereof.
(D) If Borrower does not furnish to Administrative Agent the certificates as required under
clause (C) above, upon five (5) Business Days prior notice to the risk management contact for
Borrower, Administrative Agent may procure, but shall not be obligated to procure, such replacement
policy or policies and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrower agrees to reimburse
Administrative Agent for the cost of such Insurance Premiums promptly on demand. Notwithstanding
the above, Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion and at its own expense, for the five (5)
day specified cure period, may obtain such replacement policy or policies if Borrower does not
timely furnish to Administrative Agent the certificates of insurance as required under clause (C)
above.
(E) Concurrently, and upon request from the Administrative Agent, with the delivery of each
replacement policy or a binding commitment for the same, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative
Agent a report or attestation from a duly licensed or authorized insurance broker or from the
insurer, setting forth the particulars as to all insurance obtained by Borrower pursuant to this
Section 6.1 and then in effect and stating that all Insurance Premiums that are currently
due have been paid to the applicable insurers, that such insurance policies are in full force and
effect and that, in the opinion of such insurance broker or insurer, such insurance otherwise
complies with the requirements of this Section 6.1 (or if such report shall not be
available after Borrower shall have used reasonable efforts to provide the same, Borrower will
deliver to Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate containing the information to be provided
in such report).
6.1.15 Separate Insurance. Borrower shall not take out separate insurance
contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained pursuant to this Section
6.1 unless such insurance complies with this Section 6.1.
-101-
6.1.16 Blanket Policies. The insurance coverage required under this Section
6.1 may be effected under a blanket policy or policies covering the Property and other
properties and assets not constituting a part of the Property; provided that any such
blanket policy shall specify, except in the case of public liability insurance, the portion of the
total coverage of such policy that is allocated to the Property, and any sublimits in such blanket
policy applicable to the Property, which amounts
shall not be less than the amounts required pursuant to this Section 6.1 and which
shall in any case comply in all other respects with the requirements of this Section 6.1.
Upon Administrative Agent’s request, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Officer’s
Certificate setting forth (i) the number of properties covered by such policy, (ii) the location by
city (if available, otherwise, county) and state of the properties, (iii) the average square
footage of the properties (or the aggregate square footage), (iv) a brief description of the
typical construction type included in the blanket policy and (v) such other information as
Administrative Agent may reasonably request.
Section 6.2 Condemnation and Insurance Proceeds.
6.2.1 Right to Adjust.
(A) If the Property is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by a Casualty, Borrower
shall give prompt written notice thereof to Administrative Agent, generally describing the nature
and extent of such Casualty. Following the occurrence of a Casualty, Borrower, regardless of
whether proceeds are available, shall in a reasonably prompt manner proceed to restore, repair,
replace or rebuild the Property to the extent practicable to be of at least equal value and of
substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty, all in accordance with the terms hereof
applicable to Alterations.
(B) Subject to clause (E) below, in the event of a Casualty where the loss does not exceed the
Threshold Amount, Borrower may settle and adjust such claim; provided that such adjustment
is carried out in a competent and timely manner. In such case, Borrower is hereby authorized to
collect and receive for Administrative Agent any Proceeds.
(C) Subject to clause (E) below, in the event of a Casualty where the loss exceeds the
Threshold Amount, Borrower may settle and adjust such claim only with the consent of Administrative
Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and Administrative
Agent shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower’s cost, in any such adjustments.
(D) Except as provided in clause (B) and (E) hereof, the proceeds of any Policy shall be due
and payable solely to Administrative Agent and held and applied in accordance with the terms hereof
(or, if mistakenly paid to Borrower, shall be held in trust by Borrower for the benefit of
Administrative Agent and shall be paid over to Administrative Agent by Borrower within two (2)
Business Days of receipt).
(E) Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Section 6.2.1 or otherwise in this
Agreement or the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall have the sole authority to adjust any
claim with respect to a Casualty and to collect all Proceeds if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and is continuing.
-102-
6.2.2 Right of Borrower to Apply to Restoration. In the event of (a) a Casualty that does not constitute a Material Casualty, or (b) a
Condemnation that does not constitute a Material Condemnation, Administrative Agent shall permit
the application of the Proceeds (after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Administrative
Agent) to reimburse or pay Borrower for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding
or otherwise curing title defects at the Property (the “Restoration”), in the manner
required hereby, provided and on the condition that (1) no Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing and (2) in the reasonable good faith judgment of Administrative Agent:
(i) the Property can, with diligent restoration, be returned to a condition at least
equal to the condition that existed prior to the Casualty or Condemnation,
(ii) the Property, after such Restoration and stabilization, will adequately secure the
Obligations,
(iii) the Restoration can be completed by the earliest to occur of:
(A) the 120th day prior to the Maturity Date, and
(B) with respect to a Casualty, the expiration of the payment period on the
rental loss or business interruption insurance coverage in respect of such Casualty;
and
(iv) after receiving evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent, during the period
of the Restoration, the sum of (A) income derived from the Property, plus (B)
projected proceeds of rental loss insurance or business interruption insurance, if any,
payable together with such other monies as Borrower may irrevocably make available for the
Restoration, will equal or exceed 100% of the sum of (x) Operating Expenses for such period
and (y) the Debt Service for such period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the conditions set forth in sub-clauses (1) and (2)
of the proviso in this Section 6.2.2 is not satisfied within 90 days of such Casualty or
Condemnation, whichever the case may be, then, unless Administrative Agent shall otherwise elect,
at its sole option, the Proceeds shall be applied in the following order of priority: (A) first,
to prepay the principal of the Loan without the payment of any Prepayment Premium; (B) second, to
pay the amount of (1) all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Principal Amount of the
Indebtedness so prepaid through the date which is the final day of the Interest Period in which
such prepayment is made (including, if an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing,
interest owed at the Default Rate), and (2) all other sums (excluding any Prepayment Premium) then
due and owing under the Loan Documents and (C) third, to reimburse Administrative Agent and Lenders
for any fees and expenses of Administrative Agent and Lenders incurred in connection therewith (it
being agreed that, upon satisfaction in full of the entitlements under clauses (A), (B) and (C) of
this sentence, Borrower shall be entitled to receive a release of the Lien of the Security
Instrument and the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property in accordance with and subject
to the terms of Section 2.3.3 hereof and any surplus Proceeds shall be paid over to
Borrower). Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything else to the contrary contained herein, all
Proceeds with respect to the insurance determined pursuant to
Section 6.1.4 shall be deposited directly into the Collection Account and shall be
disbursed in accordance with Article III.
-103-
6.2.3 Material Casualty or Condemnation and Administrative Agent’s Right to Apply
Proceeds. In the event of a Material Casualty or a Material Condemnation, Administrative Agent
shall permit the application of the Proceeds (after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by
Administrative Agent) to reimburse or pay Borrower for the cost of the Restoration, in the manner
required hereby, provided and on the condition that (1) no Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing and (2) in the reasonable good faith judgment of Administrative Agent:
(i) the Property can, with diligent restoration, be returned to a condition at least
equal to the condition that existed prior to the Material Casualty or the Material
Condemnation,
(ii) the Property, after such Restoration and stabilization, will adequately secure the
Obligations,
(iii) the Restoration can be completed by the earliest to occur of:
(A) the 60th day prior to the Maturity Date, and
(B) with respect to a Material Casualty, the expiration of the payment period
on the rental loss or business interruption insurance coverage in respect of such
Material Casualty;
(iv) (1) with respect to a Material Casualty, less than twenty-five percent (25%) of
the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been damaged, destroyed or
rendered unusable as a result of such Material Casualty or (2) with respect to a Material
Condemnation, less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken,
and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of
the Improvements is located on such land;
(v) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in
no event later than ninety (90) days after such Material Casualty or Material Condemnation,
whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory
completion;
(vi) any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest
under the Loan, which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the
occurrence of any such Material Casualty or Material Condemnation, whichever the case may
be, will be covered out of (1) the Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in
Section 6.2.3(iii)(B), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
(vii) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with
and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements;
-104-
(viii) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and
diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;
(ix) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of
access to the Property or the related Improvements;
(x) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, is for a loss in an aggregate amount
equal to or less than $100,000,000;
(xi) pursuant to an Appraisal of the Property after such Material Casualty or Material
Condemnation, whichever the case may be, the “as completed” appraised value of the Property
following Restoration pursuant to such Appraisal shall be at least equal to or greater than
two times the Principal Amount at such time;
(xii) Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Administrative Agent a
signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the
entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be acceptable to
Administrative Agent;
(xiii) the Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower
with Administrative Agent are sufficient in Administrative Agent’s discretion to cover the
cost of the Restoration; and
(xiv) after receiving evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent, during the period
of the Restoration, the sum of (A) income derived from the Property, plus (B)
projected proceeds of rental loss insurance or business interruption insurance, if any,
payable together with such other monies as Borrower may irrevocably make available for the
Restoration, will equal or exceed 100% of the sum of (x) Operating Expenses for such period
and (y) the Debt Service for such period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the conditions set forth in sub-clauses (1) and (2)
of the proviso in this Section 6.2.3 is not satisfied within 90 days of such Material
Casualty or Material Condemnation, whichever the case may be, then, unless Administrative Agent
shall otherwise elect, at its sole option, the Proceeds shall be applied in the following order of
priority: (A) first, to prepay the principal of the Loan without the payment of any Prepayment
Premium; (B) second, to pay the amount of (1) all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the
Principal Amount of the Indebtedness so prepaid through the date which is the final day of the
Interest Period in which such prepayment is made (including, if an Event of Default has occurred
and is then continuing, interest owed at the Default Rate), and (2) all other sums (excluding any
Prepayment Premium) then due and owing under the Loan Documents and (C) third, to reimburse
Administrative Agent and Lenders for any fees and expenses of Administrative Agent and Lenders
incurred in connection therewith (it being agreed that, upon satisfaction in full of the
entitlements under clauses (A), (B) and (C) of this sentence, Borrower shall be entitled to receive
a release of the Lien of the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents with respect to the
Property in accordance with and subject to the terms of Section 2.3.3 hereof and any
surplus Proceeds
-105-
shall be paid over to Borrower). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of a Material Casualty or a Material
Condemnation, where Borrower cannot restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property to be of at
least substantially equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Material
Casualty or Material Condemnation or title defect because the Property is a legally non-conforming
use or as a result of any other Legal Requirement, Borrower hereby agrees that Administrative Agent
may apply the Proceeds payable in connection therewith in accordance with clauses (A), (B) and (C).
6.2.4 Manner of Restoration and Reimbursement. If Borrower is entitled pursuant to
Sections 6.2.2 or 6.2.3 above to reimbursement out of Proceeds (and the conditions
specified therein shall have been satisfied), such Proceeds shall be disbursed on a monthly basis
upon Administrative Agent being furnished with (i) such architect’s certificates, waivers of lien,
contractor’s sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey and such other
evidences of cost, payment and performance as Administrative Agent may reasonably require and
approve, and (ii) all plans and specifications for such Restoration, such plans and specifications
to be approved by Administrative Agent prior to commencement of any work (such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). In addition, no payment made prior to the Final
Completion of the Restoration (excluding punch-list items) shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the
aggregate value of the work performed from time to time; funds other than Proceeds shall be
disbursed prior to disbursement of such Proceeds; and at all times, the undisbursed balance of such
Proceeds remaining in the hands of Administrative Agent, together with funds deposited for that
purpose or irrevocably committed to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent by or on behalf of
Borrower for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of
Administrative Agent to pay for the cost of completion of the Restoration, free and clear of all
Liens or claims for Lien. Prior to any disbursement, Administrative Agent shall have received
evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent in its good faith judgment of the estimated cost of
completion of the Restoration (such estimate to be made by Borrower’s architect or contractor and
approved by Administrative Agent), and Borrower shall have deposited with Administrative Agent
Eligible Collateral in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of such estimated cost of completion
over the net Proceeds.
6.2.5 Condemnation.
(A) Borrower shall promptly give Administrative Agent written notice of the actual
commencement or written threat of commencement of any Condemnation and shall deliver to
Administrative Agent copies of any and all papers served in connection with such Condemnation.
Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower, regardless of whether Proceeds are available,
shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the same to the extent practicable to
be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such Condemnation,
all to be effected in accordance with the terms hereof applicable to Alterations.
-106-
(B) Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact,
coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any Proceeds in
respect of a Condemnation and to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such
Condemnation, subject to the provisions of this Section. Provided no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, (x) in the event of a Condemnation where the loss does not exceed the Threshold
Amount, Borrower may settle and compromise such Proceeds; provided that the same is
effected in a competent and timely manner, and (y) in the event of a Condemnation, where the loss
exceeds the Threshold Amount, Borrower may settle and compromise the Proceeds only with the consent
of Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned)
and Administrative Agent shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower’s sole cost and
expense, in any litigation and settlement discussions in respect thereof. Notwithstanding any
Condemnation by any public or quasi-public authority (including any transfer made in lieu of or in
anticipation of such a Condemnation), Borrower shall continue to pay the Indebtedness at the time
and in the manner provided for in the Notes, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the
Indebtedness shall not be reduced unless and until any Proceeds shall have been actually received
and applied by Administrative Agent to discharge the Indebtedness, pay required interest and pay
any other required amounts, in each case, pursuant to the terms of Sections 6.2.2 or
6.2.3 above. Administrative Agent shall not be limited to the interest paid on the
Proceeds by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Proceeds interest
at the rate or rates provided in the Notes and this Agreement. Borrower shall cause any Proceeds
that are payable to Borrower to be paid directly to Administrative Agent to be held and applied in
accordance with the terms hereof.
ARTICLE VII
Impositions, Other Charges, Liens and Other Items
Section 7.1 Impositions and Other Charges. To the extent Manager does not reserve
for or otherwise set aside and pay Impositions and Other Charges directly, and subject to the third
sentence of this Section 7.1, Borrower shall pay all Impositions now or hereafter levied or
assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof prior to the imposition of any
interest, charges or expenses for the non-payment thereof and shall pay all Other Charges on or
before the date they are due. Subject to Borrower’s right of contest set forth in Section
7.3, as set forth in the next two sentences and provided that there are sufficient
funds available in the Tax Reserve Account, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Borrower, shall pay
all Impositions and Other Charges, prior to the date such Impositions or Other Charges shall become
delinquent or late charges may be imposed thereon, directly to the applicable taxing authority with
respect thereto. Administrative Agent shall, or Administrative Agent shall direct the Cash
Management Bank to, pay to the taxing authority such amounts to the extent funds in the Tax Reserve
Account are sufficient to pay such Impositions. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the
Security Instrument shall be construed to require Borrower to pay any tax, assessment, levy or
charge imposed on Administrative Agent in the nature of a franchise, capital levy, estate,
inheritance, succession, income or net revenue tax.
-107-
Section 7.2 No Liens. Subject to its right of contest set forth in Section 7.3, Borrower shall at all
times keep, or cause to be kept, the Property free from all Liens (other than Permitted
Encumbrances) and shall pay when due and payable (or bond over) all claims and demands of
mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others which, if unpaid, might result in or permit the
creation of a Lien on the Property or any portion thereof and shall in any event cause the prompt,
full and unconditional discharge of all Liens imposed on or against the Property or any portion
thereof within forty-five (45) days after receiving written notice of the filing (whether from
Administrative Agent, the lien holder or any other Person) thereof. Borrower shall do or cause to
be done, at the sole cost of Borrower, everything reasonably necessary to fully preserve the first
priority of the Lien of the Security Instrument against the Property, subject to Permitted
Encumbrances. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with respect
to Borrower’s Obligations as set forth in this Article VII, Administrative Agent may (but
shall not be obligated to) make such payment or discharge such Lien, and Borrower shall reimburse
Administrative Agent within three (3) Business Days following demand for all such advances pursuant
to Section 19.14 (together with interest thereon at the Default Rate).
Section 7.3 Contest. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Borrower to
pay, or cause to be paid, any Imposition or to satisfy any Lien, or to comply with any Legal
Requirement or Insurance Requirement, so long as Borrower is in good faith diligently contesting
(including, without limitation, by instituting appropriate legal proceedings, when necessary) the
validity, amount or application thereof, provided that in each case, at the time of the
commencement of any such action or contest, and during the pendency of such action or contest (i)
Borrower shall keep Administrative Agent informed of the status of such contest at reasonable
intervals, (ii) if Borrower is not providing security as provided in clause (iii) below, adequate
reserves with respect thereto are maintained on Borrower’s books in accordance with GAAP or in the
Tax Reserve Account or Insurance Reserve Account, as applicable, (iii) such contest is maintained
and prosecuted continuously and with diligence or the Imposition or Lien is fully bonded to the
satisfaction of Administrative Agent, (iv) in the case of any Insurance Requirement, the failure of
Borrower to comply therewith shall not impair the validity of any insurance required to be
maintained by Borrower under Section 6.1 or the right to full payment of any claims
thereunder, and (v) in the case of Impositions and Liens which are not bonded in excess of $500,000
individually, or in the aggregate, during such contest, Borrower, shall deposit with or deliver to
Administrative Agent Cash and Cash Equivalents in an amount equal to 125% of (A) the amount of
Borrower’s obligations being contested plus (B) any additional interest, charge, or penalty
arising from such contest, or, if the obligations being contested are less than $500,000, may, in
lieu of delivering such Cash or Cash Equivalents, deliver a guaranty of the payment of such amounts
from the Guarantor in a form reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the creation of any such reserves or the furnishing of any bond or other security,
Borrower promptly shall comply with any contested Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement or
shall pay any contested Imposition or Lien, and compliance therewith or payment thereof shall not
be deferred, if, at any time the Property or any portion thereof shall be, in Administrative
Agent’s reasonable judgment, in imminent danger of being forfeited or lost or Administrative Agent
is likely to be subject to civil or criminal damages as a result thereof. If such action or
proceeding is terminated or discontinued adversely to Borrower, Borrower shall promptly deliver to
Administrative Agent reasonable evidence of Borrower’s compliance with
such contested Imposition, Lien, Legal Requirements or Insurance Requirements, as the case may
be.
-108-
ARTICLE VIII
Transfers and Leases
Section 8.1 Restrictions on Transfers. Unless such action is permitted by the
subsequent provisions of this Article VIII, Borrower shall not and shall not permit any
Person to, without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, in its absolute and sole
discretion, to the Transfer or other matter in question, (i) Transfer any direct or indirect
ownership interest in the Property, Borrower or Guarantor, (ii) permit or suffer any owner of a
direct or indirect ownership interest in the Property, Borrower or Guarantor, to Transfer any such
ownership interest, whether by transfer of stock or other ownership interest in any entity or
otherwise or (iii) mortgage, hypothecate or otherwise encumber or grant a security interest in all
or any part of the Property or any direct or indirect ownership interests in all or any part of the
Property, Borrower or Guarantor. Notwithstanding any provision in this Article VIII to the
contrary, nothing contained in this Article VIII shall be deemed to restrict or otherwise
interfere with (i) the ability of the holders of direct or indirect ownership interests in
Guarantor to Transfer such interests, whether in connection with an initial public offering of
shares in Guarantor or any Person owning direct or indirect ownership interests therein, Transfers
by direct or indirect investors in Guarantor or otherwise or (ii) the issuance, conversion,
exchange, redemption or other Transfer of direct or indirect ownership interests in (x) Guarantor
or (y) a Joint Venture Partner or any Person owning direct or indirect ownership interests therein.
Section 8.2 Sale of Equipment. Borrower may Transfer or dispose of Equipment which
is being replaced or which is no longer necessary in connection with the operation of the Property
free from the Lien of the Security Instrument; provided that such Transfer or disposal is
in the Ordinary Course of Business, will not have a Material Adverse Effect on the value of the
Property taken as a whole, will not materially impair the utility of the Property, and will not
result in a reduction or abatement of, or right of offset against, the Rents payable under any
Lease, in either case as a result thereof, and provided further that any new
Equipment acquired by Borrower (and not so disposed of) shall be subject to the Lien of the
Security Instrument. Administrative Agent shall, from time to time, upon receipt of an Officer’s
Certificate requesting the same and confirming satisfaction of the conditions set forth above,
execute a written instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent to confirm
that such Equipment which is to be, or has been, sold or disposed of is free from the Lien of the
Security Instrument.
-109-
Section 8.3 Immaterial Transfers and Easements, etc.
(a) Borrower may, without the
consent of Administrative Agent, (i) make immaterial Transfers of portions of the Property to
Governmental Authorities for dedication or public use (subject to the provisions of Section
6.2), and (ii) grant easements, restrictions,
covenants, reservations and rights of way in the Ordinary Course of Business for access, water
and sewer lines, telephone and telegraph lines, electric lines or other utilities or for other
similar purposes, provided that no such Transfer, conveyance or encumbrance set forth in
the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall materially impair the utility and operation of the
Property or materially reduce the value of the Property or otherwise result in a Material Adverse
Effect. In connection with any Transfer permitted pursuant to this Section 8.3,
Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver any instrument reasonably necessary or appropriate,
in the case of the Transfers referred to in clause (i) above, to release the portion of the
Property affected by such Condemnation or such Transfer from the Lien of the Security Instrument
or, in the case of clause (ii) above, to subordinate the Lien of the Security Instrument to such
easements, restrictions, covenants, reservations and rights of way or other similar grants upon
receipt by Administrative Agent of:
(A) thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof;
(B) a copy of the instrument or instruments of Transfer;
(C) an Officer’s Certificate stating (x) with respect to any Transfer, the
consideration, if any, being paid for the Transfer and (y) that such Transfer does not

successor in interest shall not be liable for or bound by (i) any payment of an installment of rent
or additional rent made more than thirty (30) days before the due date of such installment, (ii)
any act or omission of or default by Borrower under any such Lease (but Administrative Agent, or

Section 9.1 Interest Rate Cap Agreement. Borrower shall maintain the Interest Rate Cap Agreement with an Acceptable Counterparty in
effect and having a term extending through the last day of the accrual period in which the
applicable Maturity Date occurs, and an initial notional amount equal to the Principal Amount. The
Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall have a strike rate equal to the LIBOR Cap Strike Rate. The
notional amount of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement may be reduced from time to time in amounts
equal to any prepayment of the principal of the Loan made in accordance with the Loan Documents,
provided that the strike rate shall be equal to the LIBOR Cap Strike Rate.
Section 9.2 Pledge and Collateral Assignment. Borrower hereby pledges, assigns,
transfers, delivers and grants a continuing first priority lien to Administrative Agent, as
security for the payment and the performance of all Obligations, in, to and under all of Borrower’s
right, title and interest whether now owned or hereafter acquired and whether now existing or
hereafter arising (collectively, the “Rate Cap Collateral”): (i) in the Interest Rate Cap
Agreement (as soon as such agreement is effective or when and if any replacement agreement becomes
effective, any Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreement);
(ii) to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (or, when and if any
such agreement becomes effective, any Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Extension Interest
Rate Cap Agreement), whether as contractual obligations, damages or otherwise; and (iii) to all
claims, rights, powers, privileges, authority, options, security interests, liens and remedies, if
any, under or arising out of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (as soon as such agreement is
effective or when and if any such agreement becomes effective, any Replacement Interest Rate Cap
Agreement or Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreement), in each case including all accessions and
additions to, substitutions for and replacements, products and proceeds of any of the foregoing.
Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap
Agreement, Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreement (which
shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Administrative Agent and require that payments be
made directly to Administrative Agent) and notify the Counterparty of such assignment (either in
such Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Extension Interest
Rate Cap Agreement or by separate instrument). Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior
written consent of Administrative Agent, further pledge, transfer, deliver, assign or grant any
security interest in the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (or, when and if any such agreement becomes
effective, any Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreement),
or permit any Lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1
Financing Statements or any other notice or instrument as may be required under the UCC, as
appropriate, except those naming Administrative Agent as the secured party, to be filed with
respect thereto.
-115-
Section 9.3 Covenants.
(A) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the
Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap
Agreement to Borrower or Administrative Agent shall be deposited
immediately into the Holding Account pursuant to Section 3.1. Borrower shall take all
actions reasonably requested by Administrative Agent to enforce Borrower’s rights under the
Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty thereunder and shall not
waive or Modify any of its rights thereunder.
(B) Borrower shall defend Administrative Agent’s right, title and interest in and to the Rate
Cap Collateral pledged by Borrower pursuant hereto or in which it has granted a security interest
pursuant hereto against the claims and demands of all other Persons.
(C) In the event of (x) any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification (each, a
“Downgrade”) of the rating of the Counterparty such that, thereafter, the Counterparty
shall cease to be an Acceptable Counterparty and (y) the Counterparty shall fail to comply with the
requirements contained in the Interest Rate Cap Agreement which are described in Exhibit I upon
such occurrence, Borrower shall either (i) replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a
Replacement Interest Cap Agreement, (x) having a term extending through the end of the then current
Interest Period in which the Maturity Date occurs, (y) in a notional amount at least equal to the
Principal Amount of the Loan then outstanding, and (z) having a strike rate equal to the LIBOR Cap
Strike Rate, or (ii) cause the Counterparty to deliver collateral or other credit enhancement to
secure Borrower’s exposure under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in such amount and pursuant to
such terms as are acceptable to Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion; provided that
Borrower acknowledges that a Downgrade of the Counterparty to A- or lower (or its equivalent by
Xxxxx’x and, if the counterparty is rated by Fitch, by Fitch), shall not be susceptible to a cure
by the posting of collateral or other credit enhancement.
(D) In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Administrative Agent the
Interest Rate Cap Agreement as and when required hereunder, Administrative Agent may purchase the
Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Administrative Agent in purchasing the
Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent with interest thereon

paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent.
(E) Borrower shall not (i) without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, Modify
the terms of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (ii) without the prior written consent of
Administrative Agent, except in accordance with the terms of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, cause
the termination of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement prior to its stated maturity date, (iii) without
the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, except as aforesaid, waive or release any
obligation of the Counterparty (or any successor or substitute party to the Interest Rate Cap
Agreement) under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (iv) without the prior written consent of
Administrative Agent, consent or agree to any act or omission to act on the part of the
Counterparty (or any successor or substitute party to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement) which,
without such consent or agreement, would constitute a default under the Interest Rate Cap
Agreement, (v) fail to exercise promptly and diligently each and every material right which it may
have under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (vi) take or intentionally omit to take any action or
intentionally suffer or permit any action to be omitted or taken, the taking or omission of which
would result in any right of offset against sums payable under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or
any defense by the Counterparty (or any successor or substitute party to the Interest Rate Cap
Agreement) to payment or (vii) fail to give prompt notice to Administrative
Agent of any notice of default given by or to Borrower under or with respect to the Interest
Rate Cap Agreement, together with a complete copy of such notice.
-116-
In connection with an Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to
Administrative Agent an Opinion of Counsel from counsel (which counsel may be in-house counsel for
the Counterparty) for the Counterparty upon which Administrative Agent and its successors and
assigns may rely (the “Counterparty Opinion”), under New York law and, if the Counterparty
is a non-U.S. entity, the applicable foreign law, substantially in compliance with the requirements
set forth in Exhibit F or in such other form approved by Administrative Agent.
Section 9.4 Representations and Warranties. Borrower hereby covenants with, and
represents and warrants to, Administrative Agent as follows:
(A) The Interest Rate Cap Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation
of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms, subject only to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally,
and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether
enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(B) The Rate Cap Collateral is free and clear of all claims or security interests of
every nature whatsoever, except such as are created pursuant to this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, and Borrower has the right to pledge and grant a security interest in the
same as herein provided without the consent of any other Person other than any such consent
that has been obtained and is in full force and effect.
(C) The Rate Cap Collateral has been duly and validly pledged hereunder. All consents
and approvals required to be obtained by Borrower for the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement have been obtained.
(D) Giving effect to the aforesaid grant and assignment to Administrative Agent,
Administrative Agent has, as of the date of this Agreement, and as to Rate Cap Collateral
acquired from time to time after such date, shall have, a valid, and upon proper filing,
perfected and continuing first priority lien upon and security interest in the Rate Cap
Collateral; provided that no representation or warranty is made with respect to the
perfected status of the security interest of Administrative Agent in the proceeds of Rate
Cap Collateral consisting of “cash proceeds” or “non-cash proceeds” as defined in the UCC
except if, and to the extent, the provisions of Section 9-306 of the UCC shall be complied
with.
(E) Except for financing statements filed or to be filed in favor of Administrative
Agent as secured party, there are no financing statements under the UCC covering any or all
of the Rate Cap Collateral and Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of
Administrative Agent, until payment in full of all of the Obligations, execute and file in
any public office, any enforceable financing statement or statements
covering any or all of the Rate Cap Collateral, except financing statements filed or to
be filed in favor of Administrative Agent as secured party.
-117-
Section 9.5 Payments. If Borrower at any time shall be entitled to receive any
payments with respect to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, such amounts shall, immediately upon
becoming payable to Borrower, be deposited by Counterparty into the Holding Account.
Section 9.6 Remedies. Subject to the provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement,
if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing:
(A) Administrative Agent, without obligation to resort to any other security, right or
remedy granted under any other agreement or instrument, shall have the right to, in addition
to all rights, powers and remedies of a secured party pursuant to the UCC, at any time and
from time to time, sell, resell, assign and deliver, in its sole discretion, any or all of
the Rate Cap Collateral (in one or more parcels and at the same or different times) and all
right, title and interest, claim and demand therein and right of redemption thereof, at
public or private sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and in connection
therewith Administrative Agent may grant options and may impose reasonable conditions such
as requiring any purchaser to represent that any “securities” constituting any part of the
Rate Cap Collateral are being purchased for investment only, Borrower hereby waiving and
releasing any and all equity or right of redemption to the fullest extent permitted by the
UCC or applicable law. If all or any of the Rate Cap Collateral is sold by Administrative
Agent upon credit or for future delivery, Administrative Agent shall not be liable for the
failure of the purchaser to purchase or pay for the same and, in the event of any such
failure, Administrative Agent may resell such Rate Cap Collateral. It is expressly agreed
that Administrative Agent may exercise its rights with respect to less than all of the Rate
Cap Collateral, leaving unexercised its rights with respect to the remainder of the Rate Cap
Collateral, provided, however, that such partial exercise shall in no way
restrict or jeopardize Administrative Agent’s right to exercise its rights with respect to
all or any other portion of the Rate Cap Collateral at a later time or times.
(B) Administrative Agent may exercise, either by itself or by its nominee or designee,
in the name of Borrower, all of Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and remedies in
respect of the Rate Cap Collateral, hereunder and under law.
(C) Borrower hereby irrevocably, in the name of Borrower or otherwise, authorizes and
empowers Administrative Agent and assigns and transfers unto Administrative Agent, and
constitutes and appoints Administrative Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, and as
its agent, irrevocably, with full power of substitution for Borrower and in the name of
Borrower, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) to
exercise and enforce every right, power, remedy, authority,
-118-
option and privilege of Borrower
under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, including any power to subordinate or Modify the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (but not, unless an
Event of Default exists and is continuing, the right to terminate or cancel the Interest
Rate Cap Agreement), or to give any notices, or to take any action resulting in such
subordination, termination, cancellation or modification and (ii) in order to more fully
vest in Administrative Agent the rights and remedies provided for herein, to exercise all of
the rights, remedies and powers granted to Administrative Agent in this Agreement, and
Borrower further authorizes and empowers Administrative Agent, as Borrower’s
attorney-in-fact, and as its agent, irrevocably, with full power of substitution for
Borrower and in the name of Borrower, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, to give any authorization, to furnish any information, to make any
demands, to execute any instruments and to take any and all other action on behalf of and in
the name of Borrower which in the opinion of Administrative Agent may be necessary or
appropriate to be given, furnished, made, exercised or taken under the Interest Rate Cap
Agreement, in order to comply therewith, to perform the conditions thereof or to prevent or
remedy any default by Borrower thereunder or to enforce any of the rights of Borrower
thereunder. These powers-of-attorney are irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and any
similar or dissimilar powers heretofore given by Borrower in respect of the Rate Cap
Collateral to any other Person are hereby revoked.
(D) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
Administrative Agent may, without notice to, or assent by, Borrower or any other Person (to
the extent permitted by law), but without affecting any of the Obligations, in the name of
Borrower or in the name of Administrative Agent, notify the Counterparty, or if applicable,
any other counterparty to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, to make payment and performance
directly to Administrative Agent; extend the time of payment and performance of, compromise
or settle for cash, credit or otherwise, and upon any terms and conditions, any obligations
owing to Borrower, or claims of Borrower, under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement; file any
claims, commence, maintain or discontinue any actions, suits or other proceedings deemed by
Administrative Agent necessary or advisable for the purpose of collecting upon or enforcing
the Interest Rate Cap Agreement; and execute any instrument and do all other things deemed
necessary and proper by Administrative Agent to protect and preserve and realize upon the
Rate Cap Collateral and the other rights contemplated hereby.
(E) Pursuant to the powers-of-attorney provided for above, Administrative Agent may
take any action and exercise and execute any instrument which it may deem necessary or
advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof; provided, however, that
Administrative Agent shall not be permitted to take any action pursuant to said
power-of-attorney that would conflict with any limitation on Administrative Agent’s rights
with respect to the Rate Cap Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Administrative Agent, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, shall have the right and
power to receive, endorse and collect all checks and other orders for the payment of money
made payable to Borrower representing: (i) any payment of obligations owed pursuant to the
Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (ii) interest accruing on any of the Rate Cap Collateral or
(iii) any other payment or distribution payable in respect of the Rate Cap Collateral or any
part thereof, and for and in the name, place and stead of Borrower, to execute endorsements,
assignments or other instruments of
conveyance or transfer in respect of any property which is or may become a part of the
Rate Cap Collateral hereunder.
-119-
(F) Administrative Agent may exercise all of the rights and remedies of a secured party
under the UCC.
(G) Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement or any of Borrower’s rights
hereunder, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any obligation or default
hereunder, Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform any
act or take any appropriate action, as it, in its reasonable judgment, may deem necessary to
protect the security of this Agreement, to cure such Event of Default or to cause any term,
covenant, condition or obligation required under this Agreement or the Interest Rate Cap
Agreement to be performed or observed by Borrower to be promptly performed or observed on
behalf of Borrower. All amounts advanced by, or on behalf of, Administrative Agent in
exercising its rights under this Section 9.7(g) (including, but not limited to,
reasonable legal expenses and disbursements incurred in connection therewith), together with
interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of each such advance, shall be payable by
Borrower to Administrative Agent upon demand and shall be secured by this Agreement.
Section 9.7 Sales of Rate Cap Collateral. No demand, advertisement or notice, all of
which are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, hereby expressly waived by Borrower, shall be
required in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Rate Cap
Collateral, except that Administrative Agent shall give Borrower at least thirty (30) Business
Days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time when and the
place where any private sale or other disposition is to be made, which notice Borrower hereby
agrees is reasonable, all other demands, advertisements and notices being hereby waived. To the
extent permitted by law, Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Rate
Cap Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale may
have been given, and Administrative Agent may without notice or publication adjourn any public or
private sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the
same was so adjourned. Upon each private sale of the Rate Cap Collateral of a type customarily
sold in a recognized market and upon each public sale, unless prohibited by any applicable statute
which cannot be waived, Administrative Agent (or its nominee or designee) may purchase any or all
of the Rate Cap Collateral being sold, free and discharged from any trusts, claims, equity or right
of redemption of Borrower, all of which are hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by
law, and may make payment therefor by credit against any of the Obligations in lieu of cash or any
other obligations. In the case of all sales of the Rate Cap Collateral, public or private,
Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind for sale or delivery, including
brokers’ and attorneys’ fees and disbursements and any tax imposed thereon. However, the proceeds
of sale of Rate Cap Collateral shall be available to cover such costs and expenses, and, after
deducting such costs and expenses from the proceeds of sale, Administrative Agent shall apply any
residue to the payment of the Obligations in the order of priority as set forth in Section 11 of
the Security Instrument.
-120-
Section 9.8 Public Sales Not Possible. Borrower acknowledges that the terms of the
Interest Rate Cap Agreement may prohibit public sales, that the Rate Cap Collateral may not be of
the type appropriately sold at public sales, and that such sales may be prohibited by law. In
light of these considerations, Borrower agrees that private sales of the Rate Cap Collateral shall
not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonably manner by mere virtue of having been
made privately.
Section 9.9 Receipt of Sale Proceeds. Upon any sale of the Rate Cap Collateral by
Administrative Agent hereunder (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to
judicial process or otherwise), the receipt by Administrative Agent or the officer making the sale
or the proceeds of such sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the
Rate Cap Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the
application of any part of the purchase money paid over to Administrative Agent or such officer or
be answerable in any way for the misapplication or non- application thereof.
Section 9.10 Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreement. If Borrower exercises any of its
options to extend the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2.1.6, then, on or prior to the
Maturity Date being extended, Borrower shall obtain or have in place an Extension Interest Rate Cap
Agreement (i) having a term through the end of the Interest Period in which the extended Maturity
Date occurs, (ii) in a notional amount at least equal to the Principal Amount of the Loan as of the
Maturity Date being extended, and (iii) having a strike rate equal to an amount such that the
maximum interest rate paid by Borrower after giving effect to payments made under such Extension
Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall equal no more than the applicable LIBOR Cap Strike Rate.
Section 9.11 Filing of Financing Statements Authorized. Borrower hereby authorizes
the filing of a form UCC-1 financing statement naming Borrower as debtors and Administrative Agent
as secured party in any office (including the office of the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware) covering all property of Borrower (including, but not limited to, the Account Collateral
and the Rate Cap Collateral, but excluding Excess Cash Flow).
ARTICLE X

damage or destruction caused by a Casualty or Condemnation, shall not permit or commit any waste,
impairment, or deterioration of any portion of the Property in any material respect. Borrower
further covenants
to do all other acts which from the character or use of the Property may be reasonably
necessary to protect the security hereof, the specific enumerations herein not excluding the
general. Borrower shall not demolish any Improvement on the Property except as the same may be
necessary in connection with an Alteration or a restoration in connection with a Condemnation or
Casualty, or as otherwise permitted herein, in each case in accordance with the terms and
conditions hereof.
-121-
Section 10.2 Alterations and Expansions. Borrower shall not perform or undertake or
consent to or permit any other Person to perform or undertake any Alteration or Expansion, except
in accordance with the following terms and conditions:
(A) The Alteration or Expansion shall be undertaken in accordance with the applicable
provisions of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Leases and all Legal
Requirements.
(B) No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a
result of such action.
(C) A Material Alteration, to the extent architects are customarily used for
alterations or expansions of those types, but including any structural change to any of the
Property or the Improvements, shall be conducted under the supervision of an Independent
Architect and shall not be undertaken until ten (10) Business Days after there shall have
been filed with Administrative Agent, for information purposes only and not for approval by
Administrative Agent, detailed plans and specifications and cost estimates therefor,
prepared and approved in writing by such Independent Architect. Such plans and
specifications may be revised at any time and from time to time, provided that
revisions of such plans and specifications shall be filed with Administrative Agent, for
information purposes only.
(D) The Alteration or Expansion may not in and of itself, either during the Alteration
or Expansion or upon completion, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect
with respect to the Property or, if a Cash Sweep Period then exists, adversely affect the
annual Net Operating Income by more than $500,000, taking into account the required escrows
(or completion bond) provided under clause (h)(i) below; provided that if, as
reasonably determined by Borrower in good faith, such Alteration or Expansion would reduce
annual Net Operating Income by $500,000 or more and a Cash Sweep Period then exists, then in
order to proceed with the Alteration or Expansion Borrower shall deliver to Administrative
Agent Eligible Collateral in the amount that the projected reduction in Net Operating Income
resulting from the Alteration or Expansion exceeds $500,000 as additional security for the
Indebtedness, which Eligible Collateral shall be returned to Borrower after evidence of
completion of the applicable Alteration or Expansion and no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing.
-122-
(E) All work done in connection with any Alteration or Expansion shall be performed
with due diligence to Final Completion in a good and workmanlike manner,
all materials used in connection with any Alteration or Expansion shall be not less
than the standard of quality of the materials generally used at the Property as of the date
hereof (or, if greater, the then-current customary quality in the sub-market in which the
Property is located) and all work shall be performed and all materials used in accordance
with all applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements.
(F) The cost of any Alteration or Expansion shall be promptly and fully paid for by
Borrower, subject to the next succeeding sentence. No payment made prior to the Final
Completion (excluding punch-list items) of an Alteration or Expansion or Restoration to any
contractor, subcontractor, materialman, supplier, engineer, architect, project manager or
other Person who renders services or furnishes materials in connection with such Alteration
shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the aggregate value of the work performed by such
Person from time to time and materials furnished and incorporated into the Improvements.
(G) Intentionally Omitted.
(H) With respect to any Material Alteration:
(i) Borrower shall have delivered to Administrative Agent Eligible Collateral
in an amount equal to at least the total estimated remaining unpaid costs of such
Material Alteration which is in excess of the Threshold Amount, which Eligible
Collateral shall be held by Administrative Agent as security for the Indebtedness
and released to Borrower as such work progresses in accordance with Section
10.2(H)(iii); provided, however, in the event that any Material
Alteration shall be made in conjunction with any Restoration with respect to which
Borrower shall be entitled to withdraw Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.2
hereof (including any Proceeds remaining after completion of such Restoration), the
amount of the Eligible Collateral to be furnished pursuant hereto need not exceed
the aggregate cost of such Restoration and such Material Alteration (in either case,
as estimated by the Independent Architect) less the sum of the amount of any
Proceeds which Borrower is entitled to withdraw pursuant to Section 6.2
hereof and the Threshold Amount;
(ii) Prior to commencement of construction of such Material Alteration,
Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a schedule (with the concurrence of
the Independent Architect) setting forth the projected stages of completion of such
Alteration or Expansion and the corresponding amounts expected to be due and payable
by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with such completion, such schedule to be
updated quarterly by Borrower (and with the concurrence of the Independent
Architect) during the performance of such Alteration or Expansion.
-123-
(iii) Any Eligible Collateral that a Borrower delivers to Administrative Agent
pursuant hereto (and the proceeds of any such Eligible Collateral) shall be invested
(to the extent such Eligible Collateral can be invested) by Administrative Agent in
Permitted Investments for a period of time consistent with the date on
which Borrower notifies Administrative Agent that Borrower expects to request a
release of such Eligible Collateral in accordance with the next succeeding sentence.
From time to time as the Material Alteration progresses, the amount of any Eligible
Collateral so furnished may, upon the written request of Borrower to Administrative
Agent, be withdrawn by Borrower and paid or otherwise applied by or returned to
Borrower in an amount equal to the amount Borrower would be entitled to so withdraw
if Section 6.2.4 were applicable, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions precedent to withdrawal of funds set forth in Section 6.2.4
hereof. In connection with the above-described quarterly update of the projected
stages of completion of the Material Alteration (as concurred with by an Independent
Architect), Borrower shall increase (or be permitted to decrease, as applicable) the
Eligible Collateral then deposited with Administrative Agent as necessary to comply
with Section 10.2(H)(i) hereof.
(iv) At any time after Final Completion of such Material Alterations, the whole
balance of any Cash deposited with Administrative Agent pursuant to Section
10.2(H) hereof then remaining on deposit may be withdrawn by Borrower and shall
be paid by Administrative Agent to Borrower, and any Eligible Collateral so
deposited shall, to the extent it has not been called upon, reduced or theretofore
released, be released by Administrative Agent to Borrower, within ten (10) days
after receipt by Administrative Agent of an application for such withdrawal and/or
release and satisfaction of each of the following conditions, as certified by an
Officer’s Certificate that such statements are true, and as to the following clauses
(A) and (B) of this clause also a certificate of the Independent Architect:
(A) such Material Alteration(s) shall have been completed in all
material respects in accordance with any plans and specifications therefor
previously filed with Administrative Agent under Section 10.2(C)
hereof;
(B) that to the Best of Borrower’s Knowledge (x) such Material

and (y) to the extent required for the legal use or occupancy of the portion
of the Property affected by such Alteration(s) or Expansion(s), the
applicable Borrower has obtained a temporary or permanent certificate of
occupancy (or similar certificate) or, if no such certificate is required, a
statement to that effect;
(C) that to the Best of Borrower’s Knowledge, all amounts that a
Borrower is or may become liable to pay in respect of such Material
Alteration(s) through the date of the certification have been paid in full
or adequately provided for and, to the extent that such are customary and
reasonably obtainable by prudent property owners in the area where the
applicable Property is located, that Lien waivers have been obtained from
the general contractor and subcontractors performing such Alteration(s) or
Expansion(s) or at its sole cost and expense, at the request of
-124-
Administrative Agent Borrower shall cause a nationally recognized title insurance company to deliver to Administrative Agent an endorsement to
the Title Policy, updating such policy and insuring over such Liens without
further exceptions to such policy other than Permitted Encumbrances, or
shall, at its sole cost and expense, cause a reputable title insurance
company to deliver a lender’s title insurance policy, in such form, in such
amounts and with such endorsements as the Title Policy, which policy shall
be dated the date of completion of the Material Alteration (or later) and
shall contain no exceptions other than Permitted Encumbrances;
provided, however, that if, for any reason, Borrower are
unable to deliver the certification required by this clause (C) with respect
to any costs or expenses relating to the Alteration(s) or Expansion(s),
then, assuming Borrower are able to satisfy each of the other requirements
set forth in clauses (A) and (B) above, Borrower shall be entitled to the
release of the difference between the whole balance of such Eligible
Collateral and the total of all costs and expenses to which Borrower are
unable to certify; and
(D) that to the Best of Borrower’s Knowledge, no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing.

Environmental Matters
Section 12.1 Representations. Borrower hereby represents and warrants that except as
set forth in the environmental reports and studies delivered to Administrative Agent (the
“Environmental Reports”), (i) Borrower has not engaged in or knowingly permitted any
operations or activities upon, or any use or occupancy of the Property, or any portion thereof, for
the purpose of or in any way involving the handling, manufacture, treatment, storage, use,
generation, release, discharge, refining, dumping or disposal of any Hazardous Materials on, under,
in or about the Property, or transported any Hazardous Materials to, from or across the Property,
except in all cases in material compliance with Environmental Laws and only in the Ordinary Course
of Business at the Property; (ii) to the Best of Borrower’s Knowledge, no tenant, occupant or user
of the Property, or any other Person, has engaged in or permitted any operations or activities
upon, or any use or occupancy of the Property, or any portion thereof, for the purpose of or in any
material way involving the handling, manufacture, treatment, storage, use, generation, release,
discharge, refining, dumping or disposal of any Hazardous Materials on, in or about the Property,
or transported any Hazardous Materials to, from or across the Property, except in all cases in
material compliance with Environmental Laws and only in the course of the Ordinary Course of
Business at the Property; (iii) to the Best of Borrower’s Knowledge, no Hazardous Materials are
presently constructed, deposited, stored, or otherwise located on, under, in or about the Property
except in material compliance with Environmental Laws; (iv) to the Best of Borrower’s Knowledge, no
Hazardous Materials have migrated from the Property upon or beneath other properties which would
reasonably be expected to result in material liability for Borrower or the Property; and (v) to the
Best of Borrower’s Knowledge, no Hazardous Materials have migrated or threaten to migrate from
other properties upon, about or beneath the Property which would reasonably be expected to result
in material liability for Borrower or the Property.
Section 12.2 Covenant; Compliance with Environmental Laws. Subject to Borrower’s
right to contest under Section 7.3, Borrower covenants and agrees with Administrative Agent
that it shall comply with all Environmental Laws. If at any time during the continuance of the
Lien of the Security Instrument, a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Property
requires remedial action to correct the presence of Hazardous Materials in, around, or under the
Property (an “Environmental Event”), Borrower
shall
-129-
deliver prompt notice of the occurrence of such Environmental Event to Administrative
Agent. Within thirty (30) days after Borrower has knowledge of the occurrence of an Environmental
Event, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate (an
“Environmental Certificate”) explaining the Environmental Event in reasonable detail and
setting forth the proposed remedial action. Borrower shall promptly provide Administrative Agent
with copies of all notices from any Governmental Authority which allege or identify any actual or
potential violation or noncompliance received by or prepared by or for Borrower in connection with
any Environmental Law. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “notice” shall mean any summons,
citation, directive, order, claim, pleading, letter, application, filing, report, findings,
declarations or other materials provided by any Governmental Authority pertinent to compliance of
the Property and Borrower with such Environmental Laws.
Section 12.3 Environmental Reports. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Environmental Event with respect to the Property or an Event of Default, Administrative Agent
shall have the right to direct Borrower to obtain consultants reasonably approved by Administrative
Agent to perform a comprehensive environmental audit of the Property. Such audit shall be
conducted by an environmental consultant chosen by Administrative Agent and may include a visual
survey, a record review, an area reconnaissance assessing the presence of hazardous or toxic waste
or substances, PCBs or storage tanks at the Property, an asbestos survey of the Property, which may
include random sampling of the Improvements and air quality testing, and such further site
assessments as Administrative Agent may reasonably require due to the results obtained from the
foregoing. Borrower grants Administrative Agent, its agents, consultants and contractors the right
to enter the Property as reasonable or appropriate for the circumstances for the purposes of
performing such studies and the reasonable cost of such studies shall be due and payable by
Borrower to Administrative Agent upon demand and shall be secured by the Lien of the Security
Instrument. Administrative Agent shall not unreasonably interfere with, and Administrative Agent
shall direct the environmental consultant to use its commercially reasonable efforts not to hinder,
Borrower’s or any Tenant’s, other occupant’s or Manager’s operations upon the Property when
conducting such audit, sampling or inspections. By undertaking any of the measures identified in
and pursuant to this Section 12.3, Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to be
exercising any control over the operations of Borrower or the handling of any environmental matter
or hazardous wastes or substances of Borrower for purposes of incurring or being subject to
liability therefor.
Section 12.4 Environmental Indemnification.
(A) Borrower shall protect, indemnify, save, defend, and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties
from and against any and all Liabilities which any Indemnified Party may suffer, as a result of or
with respect to: (a) any Environmental Claim relating to or arising from the Property; (b) the
violation of any Environmental Law in connection with the Property; (c) any release, spill, or the
presence of any Hazardous Materials affecting the Property; and (d) the presence at, in, on or
under, or the release, escape, seepage, leakage, discharge or migration at or
from, the Property of any Hazardous Materials, whether or not such condition was known or
unknown to Borrower.
-130-
(B) Notwithstanding Section 12.4(A) above, or any other provision of this Agreement,
Borrower shall not be liable for any Hazardous Materials first placed on or under the Property (or
any portion thereof) after ownership and control of the Property has been transferred to a third
party following foreclosure or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure (“Transfer of Ownership”);
provided, however, that (i) the existence of any Hazardous Materials placed in,
under, over, from or affecting the Property (or such portion thereof), which materials were present
prior to Transfer of Ownership, shall remain subject to Borrower’s indemnification obligations; and
(ii) Borrower shall have the burden of proving that such environmental condition occurred
subsequent to Transfer of Ownership.
(C) If any such action or other proceeding shall be brought against Administrative Agent, upon
written notice from Borrower to Administrative Agent (given reasonably promptly following
Administrative Agent’s notice to Borrower of such action or proceeding), Borrower shall be entitled
to assume the defense thereof, at Borrower’s expense, with counsel reasonably acceptable to
Administrative Agent; provided, however, Administrative Agent may, at its own
expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such defense, but such participation shall not
be deemed to give Administrative Agent a right to control such defense, which right Borrower
expressly retains. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnified Party shall have the right to
employ separate counsel at Borrower’s expense if, in the reasonable opinion of legal counsel, a
conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and Borrower that would make
such separate representation advisable. Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify an
Indemnified Party for damage or loss resulting from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct.
Section 12.5 Recourse Nature of Certain Indemnifications. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary provided in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the indemnification
provided in Section 12.4 shall be fully recourse to Borrower (but not its constituent
members, except as provided in the Environmental Indemnity) and shall be independent of, and shall
survive, the discharge of the Indebtedness, the release of the Lien created by the Security
Instrument, and/or the conveyance of title to the Property to Administrative Agent or any purchaser
or designee in connection with a foreclosure of the Security Instrument or conveyance in lieu of
foreclosure.

provisions of the Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are
expressly delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such
other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
elsewhere in the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or therein, or any fiduciary relationship
with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities shall be read into the Loan Documents or otherwise exist against Administrative Agent.

attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
Section 14.3 Exculpatory Provisions. None of Administrative Agent, the other Agents,
nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates
shall be (1) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under
or in connection with the Loan Documents (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or
willful misconduct), or (2) responsible in any manner to any of Lenders for any recitals,
statements, representations or warranties made by the Transaction Parties or any officer thereof
contained in the Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred
to or provided for in, or received by Administrative Agent under or in connection with the Loan
Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of
the Loan Documents or for any failure of the Transaction Parties to perform their obligations
hereunder or thereunder. Administrative Agent and the other Agents shall not be under any
obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of
the agreements contained in, or conditions of, the Loan Documents or to inspect the properties,
books or records of the Transaction Parties.
Section 14.4 Reliance by the Agents. Each of Administrative Agent and the Agents
shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing,
resolution, notice, consent, certification, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex
or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation reasonably believed by it
to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and
upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to Borrower),
independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. As to Lenders: (1)
Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under the
Loan Documents unless it
-132-
shall first receive such advice or concurrence of one hundred percent (100%) of Lenders (or, if a
provision of this Agreement expressly provides that a lesser number of Lenders may direct the
action of Administrative Agent, such lesser number of Lenders) or it shall first be indemnified to
its satisfaction by Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Percentage Shares against
any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to
take any action (except for liabilities and expenses resulting from Administrative Agent’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct), and (2) Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under the Loan Documents in accordance with a
request of one hundred percent (100%) of Lenders (or, if a provision of this Agreement expressly
provides that Administrative Agent shall be required to act or refrain from acting at the request
of a lesser number of Lenders, such lesser number of Lenders), and such request and any action
taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Lenders.
Section 14.5 Notice of Default. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless
Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to the Loan Documents,
describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.”
In the event that Administrative Agent receives such a notice and a Default has occurred,
Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to Lenders. Administrative Agent shall
take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed
by the Required Lenders; provided that, unless and until Administrative Agent shall have
received such directions, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such
action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it
shall deem advisable in the best interest of Lenders (except to the extent that this Agreement or
the Recourse Guaranty expressly requires that such action be taken or not taken by Administrative
Agent with the consent or upon the authorization of the Required Lenders or such other group of
Lenders, in which case such action will be taken or not taken as directed by the Required Lenders
or such other group of Lenders or Lenders).
Section 14.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly
acknowledges that none of Administrative Agent, the other Agents nor any of their respective
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any
representations or warranties to it and that no act by Administrative Agent or the other Agents
hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Transaction Parties, shall be deemed
to constitute any representation or warranty by Administrative Agent or the other Agents to any
Lender. Each Lender represents to Administrative Agent and the other Agents that it has,
independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, the other Agents or any other Lender,
and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of
and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Transaction Parties and made its own decision to make its loans hereunder
and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without
reliance upon Administrative Agent, the other Agents or any other Lender, and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
-133-
credit
analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such
investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Transaction Parties. Except for notices,
reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Administrative Agent
hereunder, Administrative Agent and the other Agents shall not have any duty or responsibility to
provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations,
property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Transaction Parties which may
come into the possession of Administrative Agent or any other Agent or any of their respective
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.
Section 14.7 Indemnification; Reimbursement of Protective Advances.
14.7.1 Indemnification. Lenders agree to indemnify Administrative Agent and the other
Agents in their respective capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without
limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), ratably according to the respective amounts of their
Percentage Shares, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which
may at any time (including without limitation at any time following the payment of the Obligations)
be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent or the other Agents in any way
relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to
herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by Administrative
Agent or the other Agents under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that
no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from
Administrative Agent’s or any other Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, respectively.
The provisions of this Section 14.7 shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement.
14.7.2 Reimbursement of Protective Advances. If Administrative Agent incurs any
reasonable costs or expenses (including, without limitation, those for legal services) after the
date of this Agreement and with respect to any actual or proposed Modification or waiver of any
term of the Loan Documents or restructuring or refinancing thereof or with any effort to enforce or
protect Lenders’ rights or interests with respect thereto (including any protective advances made
in accordance with Section 8 of the Security Instrument), or otherwise with respect to the
performance of its role as administrative agent under this Agreement, each in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, then, if such costs are not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower,
Lenders shall reimburse Administrative Agent for their Percentage Share of such costs promptly
after request therefor. If Administrative Agent recovers any amounts for which Administrative
Agent has previously been reimbursed by Lenders hereunder, Administrative Agent shall promptly
distribute to Lenders their Percentage Share thereof.
-134-
14.7.3 Lender Failure to Indemnify. In the event a Lender fails to reimburse
Administrative Agent for its Percentage Share of costs pursuant to this Section 14.7 and
such failure continues for a period of three (3) Business Days after notice from Administrative
Agent, such Lender shall cease to be entitled to any voting, consent or approval rights hereunder
or under any other Loan Document, until such time such Lender reimburses Administrative Agent for
its Percentage Share of such costs.
Section 14.8 Agents in Their Individual Capacity. Administrative Agent, the other
Agents and their affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any
kind of business with any of the Transaction Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries and
Affiliates as though Administrative Agent and the other Agents were not, respectively,
Administrative Agent, or an Agent hereunder. With respect to such loans made or renewed by them
and any Note issued to them, Administrative Agent and the other Agents shall have the same rights
and powers under the Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not
Administrative Agent or an Agent, respectively, and the terms “Lender” and
“Lenders” shall include Administrative Agent and each other Agent in its individual
capacity.
Section 14.9 Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign as
Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Lenders and
Borrower. If Administrative Agent shall resign, then Lenders shall appoint a successor agent or,
if Lenders are unable to agree on the appointment of a successor agent, Administrative Agent shall
appoint a successor agent for Lenders whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights,
powers and duties of Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean
such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights,
powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or
deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any
of the Loan Documents or successors thereto; provided, however, that so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent shall
be subject to the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed). After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent,
the provisions of the Loan Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.
Section 14.10 Limitations on Agents Liability. No Agent other than Administrative
Agent shall, each in its capacity as an Agent, have any right, power, obligation, liability,
responsibility or duty under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
-135-
Section 14.11 Approvals of Lenders. All communications from Administrative Agent to
any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be
given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, and (b) shall be accompanied by a description
of the matter or
issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall
advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or
shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved. Unless a Lender shall give written
notice to Administrative Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation or determination
of Administrative Agent (together with a reasonable written explanation of the reasons behind such
objection) within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically
required under the express terms of the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication, such
Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or
determination.
ARTICLE XV
Assignments and Participations
Section 15.1 Assignments, Delegations and Pledges. With the prior written consent of
Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, any Lender may at
any time assign, delegate and pledge to one or more Eligible Assignees (provided that no
written consent of Administrative Agent shall be required in connection with any assignment,
delegation and pledge by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or to another Lender or its
Affiliate) (each such assignee, an “Assignee”, and each such pledgee, a “Pledgee”)
all or any part of such Lender’s Percentage Share of the Loan, the Delayed Draw Term Loan
Commitments and the other Obligations held by such Lender hereunder, in a minimum amount of
$3,000,000, which minimum amount may be an aggregated amount in the event of simultaneous
assignments to or by two or more funds under common management (or if such Lender’s Percentage
Share of the Loan is less than $3,000,000, one hundred percent (100%) thereof); provided,
however, that the Transaction Parties, Borrower and Administrative Agent may continue to
deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an
Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses
and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been given to Borrower and
Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Assignee; (ii) such Lender and its Assignee shall have
delivered to Borrower and Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (iii) the
assignment shall have been recorded in the Register, and (iv) the parties to each assignment shall
execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement via an electronic settlement
system acceptable to Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with Administrative Agent,
manually), and shall pay to Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.
Section 15.2 Register; Effect of Assignment and Acceptance. Administrative Agent
shall, on behalf of Borrower, maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered
to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of
Lenders and the principal amount of the Loan owing to each Lender from time to time. The entries
in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and Borrower, each Lender
and Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as the
owner of the Loans for all purposes of this Agreement. From and after the date that
-136-
Administrative
Agent notifies the assignor Lender and Borrower that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and payment of
the above-referenced processing fee, and the assignment has been recorded in the Register: (i) the
Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment
and Acceptance Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan
Documents, (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance
Agreement, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents (but
shall be entitled to indemnification as otherwise provided in this Agreement with respect to any
events occurring prior to the assignment) and (iii) this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to
the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the
resulting adjustment of the Percentage Shares resulting therefrom.
Section 15.3 Substitute Notes. After its receipt of notice by Administrative Agent
that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and payment of the processing
fee (which notice shall also be sent by Administrative Agent to each Lender), Borrower shall, if
requested in writing by the Assignee, execute and deliver within five (5) Business Days of receipt
of such request to Administrative Agent, a new Note evidencing such Assignee’s Percentage Share of
the Loan; provided that the obligation to deliver such Note shall be subject to receipt by Borrower
of the existing Note which such new Note replaces (or, if not available, receipt of a lost note
affidavit and indemnity from beneficiary of such existing Note in customary form reasonably
satisfactory to Borrower).
Section 15.4 Participations. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more
commercial banks, insurance companies or other Persons not Affiliates of Borrower (a
“Participant”) participating interests in the Loan and the other interests of that Lender
(the “Originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided,
however, that (i) the Originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such
obligations, and (iii) Borrower and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly
with the Originating Lender in connection with the Originating Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which
an Originating Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Originating Lender shall
retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents;
provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of any
Loan Document described in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) or (5) of Section 19.5. In the case
of any such participation, the Participant shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections
2.2.5, 2.2.6, 2.2.8 and 2.2.9 (and subject to the burdens of
Sections 2.2.7, 2.2.9(v) and this Article XV) as though it were also a
Lender thereunder; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall
-137-
any such participation
result in Borrower making payments in excess of those that would be owing to Originating Lender if no participation had taken place unless Borrower is notified of such
participation and such participation is made with Borrower’s prior written consent, and (ii) if
amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall
have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be
deemed to have the right of set off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under
this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing
directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, and Section 19.19 of this Agreement shall
apply to such Participant as if it were a Lender party hereto.
Section 15.5 Security Interest in Favor of Federal Reserve Bank. Notwithstanding any
other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, any Lender
may assign all or any portion of its Percentage Share of the Loan held by it to any Federal Reserve
Lender or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal
Reserve Lender, provided that any payment in respect of such assigned Percentage Share of
the Loan made by Borrower to or for the account of the assigning and/or pledging Lender in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy Borrower’s obligations hereunder in
respect to such assigned Percentage Share of the Loan to the extent of such payment. No such
assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.
Section 15.6 Redirection Notice. Upon Administrative Agent’s receipt of written
notice (a “Redirection Notice”) by a Pledgee that the pledging Lender is in default, beyond
applicable cure periods, under pledging Lender’s obligations to Pledgee pursuant to the applicable
credit agreement between pledging Lender and Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or
confirmed by pledging Lender), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by
Pledgee, Administrative Agent shall remit to Pledgee and not to pledging Lender, any payments that
Administrative Agent would otherwise be obligated to pay to pledging Lender from time to time
pursuant to this Agreement or any Loan Document. Each pledging Lender hereby unconditionally and
absolutely releases Administrative Agent from any liability to pledging Lender on account of
Administrative Agent’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by Administrative Agent to
have been delivered by Pledgee.
Section 15.7 Syndication. Subject to Section 15.1 above, DBTCA or its
affiliates may syndicate, securitize, sell, assign and/or participate the Loan and the other
Obligations held by Lenders hereunder, in whole or in part (any such transaction, a “Loan
Sale”), before or after the Closing Date, without any consent from Borrower or any other
Transaction Party, and DBTCA (or its affiliates) shall manage all aspects of such Loan Sale,
including the number and identity of the potential Lenders participating in the Loan Sale and the
Loan amounts and compensation offered in connection therewith. Borrower agrees to take all actions
as DBTCA (or its affiliates) may reasonably request to assist in any such Loan Sale, including:
(i) making its senior management and representatives available to participate in informational
meetings with potential Lenders,
investors and/or Rating Agencies at such times and places as DBTCA (or its affiliates) may
reasonably request; (ii) using its reasonable efforts to ensure that the Loan Sale efforts benefit
from Borrower’s lending relationships; and (iii) providing DBTCA (or its affiliates) with all
information reasonably deemed necessary by DBTCA to successfully complete the Loan Sale.
-138-
Section 15.8 Pfandbrief Appraisal. In connection with any assignment, pledge or
transfer of a Lender’s interest in the Loan to a Pfandbrief, such Lender, at its own expense, may
order an Appraisal, and Administrative Agent will reasonably cooperate, at such Lender’s expense,
in coordinating the same with Borrower to the extent necessary to obtain such Appraisal.
ARTICLE XVI
Reserve Accounts
Section 16.1 Tax Reserve Account. In accordance with the time periods set forth in
Section 3.1, and during any period when the Manager is not reserving for Impositions and
Other Charges, Borrower shall deposit into the Tax Reserve Account an amount equal to (a)
one-twelfth of the annual Impositions that Administrative Agent reasonably estimates, based on the
most recent tax xxxx for the Property, will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months
in order to accumulate with Administrative Agent sufficient funds to pay all such Impositions at
least twenty (20) days prior to the imposition of any interest, charges or expenses for the
non-payment thereof and (b) one-twelfth of the annual Other Charges that Administrative Agent
reasonably estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months (said monthly
amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Monthly Tax Reserve Amount”, and the
aggregate amount of funds held in the Tax Reserve Account being the “Tax Reserve Amount”).
If applicable, the Monthly Tax Reserve Amount shall be paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent on
each Payment Date. Administrative Agent will apply the Monthly Tax Reserve Amount to payments of
Impositions and Other Charges required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Article V and
Article VII and under the Security Instrument, subject to Borrower’s right to contest
Impositions in accordance with Section 7.3. In making any payment relating to the Tax
Reserve Account, Administrative Agent may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate
procured from the appropriate public office, without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx,
statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or
title or claim thereof. If the amount of funds in the Tax Reserve Account shall exceed the amounts
due for Impositions and Other Charges pursuant to Article V and Article VII,
Administrative Agent shall credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax Reserve
Account. If at any time Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the Tax Reserve Amount is
not or will not be sufficient to pay Impositions and Other Charges by the dates set forth above,
Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its
monthly payments to Administrative Agent by the amount that Administrative Agent reasonably
estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the imposition
of any interest, charges or expenses for the non-payment of the Impositions and Other Charges.
Upon payment of the Impositions and Other Charges, Administrative Agent shall reassess the amount
necessary to be
deposited in the Tax Reserve Account for the succeeding period, which calculation shall take
into account any excess amounts remaining in the Tax Reserve Account.
-139-
Section 16.2 Insurance Reserve Account. At any time when the insurance required to
be maintained pursuant to this Agreement is provided under a blanket policy in accordance with
Article VI hereof and the premiums in respect of such blanket policy are not paid or caused
to be paid at least 3 months before such premiums become due and payable or at any time that
Manager does not reserve for or otherwise set aside and pay, in no more than four (4) installments
per year, premiums with respect to the Insurance Requirements or following an Insurance Reserve
Trigger, Borrower will immediately pay to Administrative Agent for transfer by Administrative Agent
to the Holding Account (or if Borrower fails to so pay Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent
will transfer from the Holding Account) an amount (the “Insurance Reserve Amount”) equal to
payments of insurance premiums required to be made by Borrower to pay (or to reimburse Borrower
for) the insurance required pursuant to Article VI and under the Security Instrument. In
addition, at any time when the insurance required to be maintained pursuant to this Agreement is
provided under a blanket policy in accordance with Article VI hereof and the premiums in
respect of such blanket policy are not paid or caused to be paid at least 3 months before such
premiums become due and payable or at any time that Manager does not reserve for or otherwise set
aside and pay, in no more than four (4) installments per year, premiums with respect to the
Insurance Requirements, and otherwise following an Insurance Reserve Trigger, in accordance with
the time periods set forth in Section 3.1, Borrower shall deposit into the Insurance
Reserve Account an amount equal to one-twelfth of the insurance premiums that Administrative Agent
reasonably estimates based on the most recent xxxx, will be payable for the renewal of the coverage
afforded by the insurance policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with
Administrative Agent sufficient funds to pay all such insurance premiums at least twenty (20) days
prior to the expiration of the policies required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to the terms
hereof (said monthly amounts hereinafter called the “Monthly Insurance Reserve Amount”);
provided, however, that immediately following an Insurance Reserve Trigger,
Borrower will pay to Administrative Agent for transfer by Administrative Agent to the Insurance
Reserve Account (or if Borrower fails to so pay Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent will
transfer from the Holding Account) an amount equal to payments of insurance premiums required to be
made by Borrower to pay (or to reimburse Borrower) for the insurance required pursuant to
Article VI and under the Security Instrument. The Monthly Insurance Reserve Amount, if same
is payable pursuant to this Section 16.2, shall be paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent
on each Payment Date. Administrative Agent will apply the Monthly Insurance Reserve Amount to
payments of insurance premiums required to be made by Borrower to pay for the insurance required
pursuant to Article VI and under the Security Instrument. In making any payment relating
to the Insurance Reserve Account, Administrative Agent may do so according to any xxxx, statement
or estimate procured from the insurer or agent, without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx,
statement or estimate or into the validity thereof. If at any time Administrative Agent reasonably
determines that the Insurance Reserve Amount is not or will not be sufficient to pay insurance
premiums (up to a maximum amount equal to the aggregate annual insurance premium required
hereunder), Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall
increase the Insurance Reserve Amount by the amount that Administrative Agent reasonably estimates
is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior
to expiration of the applicable insurance policies. Upon payment of such insurance premiums,
Administrative Agent shall reassess the amount necessary to be deposited in the Insurance Reserve
Account for the succeeding period, which calculation shall take into account any excess amounts
remaining in the Insurance Reserve Account.
-140-
Section 16.3 Cash Sweep Reserve Account. During any Cash Sweep Period, certain
monies shall be transferred in accordance with Section 3.1.1 hereof from the Holding
Account into the Cash Sweep Reserve Account and retained by Administrative Agent as additional
security for the Indebtedness and shall be applied or disbursed as provided in Section
3.1.5 and below. From and after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default,
Administrative Agent shall have the right to apply any amounts then remaining in the Cash Sweep
Reserve Accounts to repay the Indebtedness or any other amounts due hereunder or under the other
Loan Documents in such order, manner and amount as Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole
discretion. Provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Administrative Agent shall instruct the Cash Management Bank to transfer to Borrower’s Account free
and clear of all Liens, any amounts remaining in the Cash Sweep Reserve Account within ten (10)
Business Days after Borrower provides Administrative Agent with evidence satisfactory to
Administrative Agent indicating that the Cash Sweep Period has ended.
Section 16.4 Required Repairs Reserve Account. (a) Borrower shall perform the repairs
and other work at the Property as set forth on Schedule VI (such repairs and other work
hereinafter referred to as “Required Repairs”) and shall complete each of the Required
Repairs on or before the respective deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule VI.
On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with or on behalf of Administrative Agent the amount
set forth on such Schedule VI as the estimated cost to complete the Required Repairs
multiplied by 125% (the “Required Repairs Funds”), which Required Repairs Funds shall be
transferred by the Cash Management Bank into the Required Repairs Reserve Account.
(b) Release of Required Repairs Funds. Provided no Event of Default is continuing,
Administrative Agent shall direct the Cash Management Bank to disburse Required Repairs Funds to
Borrower out of the Required Repairs Reserve Account, within twenty (20) days after the delivery by
Borrower to Administrative Agent of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in
increments of at least $10,000 (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the Required Repairs
Reserve Account is less than $10,000, in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining
in the account shall be made), accompanied by the following items (which items shall be in form and
substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent): (i) an Officer’s Certificate (A) stating that the
Required Repairs (or relevant portion thereof) to be funded by the requested disbursement have been
completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Legal
Requirements, (B) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the
Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement, (C) stating that each such Person has
been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement, or if such payment is a progress

-141-
payment to such Person, less any applicable retention
amount, for work completed through the date of the relevant invoice from such Person, (D) stating that the
Required Repairs (or relevant portion thereof) to be funded have not been the subject of a previous
disbursement, (E) stating that all previous disbursements of Required Repairs Funds have been used
to pay the previously identified Required Repairs, and (F) stating that all outstanding trade
payables (other than those to be paid from the requested disbursement or those constituting
Permitted Indebtedness) have been paid in full other than any applicable retention amount, (ii) as
to any completed Required Repair a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any
Governmental Authority required, if any, in connection with the Required Repairs and not previously
delivered to Administrative Agent, (iii) copies of appropriate lien waivers (or conditional lien
waivers) or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Administrative Agent, (iv) at Administrative
Agent’s option, for Required Repairs in excess of $25,000 a title search for the Property
indicating that the Property is free from all Liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously
approved by Administrative Agent, and (v) such other evidence as Administrative Agent shall
reasonably request to demonstrate that the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested
disbursement have been completed (or completed to the extent of the requested payment) and are paid
for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower. Upon Borrower’s completion of all Required
Repairs in accordance with this Section 16.4, Administrative Agent shall direct the Cash
Management Bank to release any remaining Required Repairs Funds, if any, in the Required Repairs
Reserve Account to Borrower.
Section 16.5 FF&E Reserve Account. In accordance with Section 3.1, and
during any period when Manager is not reserving for FF&E or FF&E is not otherwise reserved pursuant
to the terms of the Management Agreement, upon the request of Borrower, Administrative Agent will,

reimburse Borrower or Manager for actual costs incurred in connection with capital expenditures
relating to FF&E at the Property of the type customarily utilized in hotel properties in New York

disbursements are requested are due and payable and are in respect of capital expenditures relating
to FF&E at the property, (B) Borrower has applied any amounts previously received by it in
accordance with this Section for the expenses to which specific draws made hereunder relate and

the conditions in the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) have been satisfied and that the copies of
invoices and evidence of Lien waivers (to the extent required above) attached to such Officer’s

inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx or statement or into the validity of any rent, additional
rent or other charge thereof. If the amount of the Ground Rent Funds shall exceed the amounts due

to the Ground Rent Funds. Any Ground Rent Funds remaining after the Obligations have been paid in
full shall be returned to Borrower.
ARTICLE XVII

Days after Administrative Agent delivers written notice thereof to Borrower;
-143-
(ii) subject to Borrower’s right to contest as set forth in Section 7.3, if any
of the Impositions or Other Charges are not paid prior to the imposition of any interest,
penalty, charge or expense for the non-payment thereof;
(iii) in the event Administrative Agent is not responsible for paying for insurance
with the funds held in the Insurance Reserve Account, if the insurance policies required by

document furnished to Administrative Agent shall have been false or misleading in any
material respect as of the date the representation or warranty was made; provided,
however, that if such representation or warranty which was false or misleading in
any material respect is, by its nature, curable and is not reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect, and such representation or warranty was not, to the Best of
Borrower’s Knowledge, false or misleading in any material respect when made, then same shall
not constitute an Event of Default unless Borrower has not cured same within ten (10)

of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (a)(vi) or (vii) above)
Administrative Agent may (and at the request of the Required Lenders shall), from time to time
without notice or demand, exercise, on behalf of Lenders, all rights and remedies available to it
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such action that
Administrative Agent deems advisable to protect and enforce its and Lenders rights against
Borrower, the other Transaction Parties and the Property, including, without limitation, (i)
declaring immediately due and payable the entire Principal Amount together with interest thereon
and all other sums due by Borrower and the other Transaction Parties under the Loan Documents, (ii)
collecting interest on the Principal Amount at the Default Rate whether or not the Loan has been
accelerated, and (iii) enforcing or availing itself of any or all rights or remedies set forth in

Default described in subsections (a)(vi) or (a)(vii) above, the Indebtedness and all other
obligations of Borrower and the other Transaction Parties hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and
Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any
other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding. The foregoing provisions shall not be
construed as a waiver by Administrative
Agent of its right to pursue any other remedies available to it under this Agreement, the
Security Instrument or any other Loan Document. Any payment hereunder may be enforced and
recovered in whole or in part at such time by one or more of the remedies provided to
Administrative Agent in the Loan Documents.
-146-
(B) Unless waived in writing by Administrative Agent, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and
other remedies available to Administrative Agent and Lenders against Borrower under this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law
or in equity may be exercised by Administrative Agent and Lenders at any time and from time to
time, whether or not all or any of the Indebtedness shall be declared due and payable, and whether
or not Administrative Agent shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the
enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the
Property. Any enforcement or remedial actions taken by Administrative Agent shall be cumulative
and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at
such time and in such order as Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and
remedies of Administrative Agent permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in
the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that
if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any one
action or election of remedies law or rule and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or
privileges provided to Administrative Agent shall remain in full force and effect until
Administrative Agent has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Security
Instrument has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the
Indebtedness or the Indebtedness has been paid in full.
(C) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with respect to the
Account Collateral, Administrative Agent may:
(i) without notice to Borrower, except as required by law, and at any time or
from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the
Account Collateral against the Obligations, Operating Expenses and/or Capital
Expenditures for the Property or any part thereof;
(ii) in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, at any time and from time to
time, exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it under this Agreement
and/or as a secured party under the UCC;
(iii) demand, collect, take possession of or receipt for, settle, compromise,
adjust, xxx for, foreclose or realize upon the Account Collateral (or any portion
thereof) as Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion; and
(iv) take all other actions provided in, or contemplated by, this Agreement.
-147-
(D) With respect to Borrower, the Account Collateral, the Rate Cap Collateral and the
Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring
Administrative Agent to resort to the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Indebtedness, and
Administrative Agent may seek satisfaction out of the Property or any part thereof, in its absolute
discretion in respect of the Indebtedness. In addition, Administrative Agent shall have the right
from time to time to partially foreclose the Security Instrument in any manner and for any amounts
secured by this Agreement or the Security Instrument then due and payable as determined by
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following
circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the
payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal or interest, Administrative Agent may
foreclose this Agreement and the Security Instrument to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii)
in the event Administrative Agent elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal
balance of the Loan, Administrative Agent may foreclose this Agreement and the Security Instrument
to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Administrative Agent may accelerate and
such other sums secured by this Agreement or the Security Instrument as Administrative Agent may
elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to this
Agreement and the Security Instrument to secure payment of sums secured by this Agreement and the
Security Instrument and not previously recovered.
Section 17.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of
Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not
exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Administrative Agent may have against Borrower
or any other Person pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or
in equity or otherwise. Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly,
concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Administrative Agent may determine in
Administrative Agent’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or
power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be
construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to
time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with
respect to Borrower, Guarantor or any Transaction Party shall not be construed to be a waiver of
any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower, Guarantor or any Transaction Party or to
impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
Section 17.4 Costs of Collection. In the event that after an Event of Default: (i)
the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents are placed in the hands of an attorney for collection
or enforcement or are collected or enforced through any legal proceeding; (ii) an attorney is
retained to represent Administrative Agent and/or Lenders in any bankruptcy, reorganization,
receivership, or other proceedings affecting creditors’ rights and involving a claim under the
Notes or any of the Loan Documents; or (iii) an attorney is retained to protect or enforce the lien
or any of the terms of this Agreement, the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents;
then Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent upon demand all reasonable attorney’s fees, costs
and expenses
actually incurred in connection therewith, including costs of appeal, together with interest
on any judgment obtained by Administrative Agent at the Default Rate.

than a waiver of default interest), the Loan or fees payable hereunder, (2) except as expressly
contemplated by Article XV, modify the Percentage Share of any Lender, (3) Modify the
definition of “Required Lenders”, (4) extend or waive any scheduled payment date for any
principal, interest or fees, (5) release Guarantor from its obligations under the Recourse
Guaranty, release Borrower from its obligation to repay the Loan, or release the Property from the
lien of the Security Instrument (in each case except for such releases as may be specifically
authorized by or otherwise approved in accordance with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents),
(6) Modify this Section 19.5, or (7) Modify any provision of the Loan Documents which by
its terms requires the consent or approval of one hundred percent (100%) of Lenders. It is
expressly agreed and understood that the election by the Required Lenders to accelerate amounts
outstanding hereunder shall not constitute a Modification or waiver of any term or provision of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document. No Modification of any provision of the Loan Documents
relating to Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written consent of Administrative
Agent.
Section 19.6 Modification, Waiver in Writing. No modification, amendment, extension,
discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or of the Notes, or of any
other Loan Document, or consent to any departure therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless
the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought and then such
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which
given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to or demand on Borrower shall
entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other
circumstances.
Section 19.7 Delay Not a Waiver. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of
Administrative Agent in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or
agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under the Notes or
under any other Loan Document, or any other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as
or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other
future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular,
and not by way of
limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this
Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this
Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect
prompt payment of any such other amount.
-156-

INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (I)
ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE SECURITY INSTRUMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE MODIFICATION THEREOF OR (II) IN ANY
WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM
WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE SECURITY INSTRUMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (AS
NOW OR HEREAFTER MODIFIED) OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN
CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER SUCH
CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION IS NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING
IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND BORROWER HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT AN ORIGINAL
COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION MAY BE FILED WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE
CONSENT HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS
CONSULTED WITH LEGAL COUNSEL REGARDING THE MEANING OF THIS WAIVER AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER
IS AN ESSENTIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE MAKING OF THE LOAN. THIS WAIVER SHALL SURVIVE THE REPAYMENT OF
THE LOAN.
Section 19.10 Headings. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of
Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not
constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
-158-
Section 19.11 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 the remainder of such provision or the
remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 19.12 Preferences. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to
Administrative Agent, 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 Administrative Agent.
Section 19.13 Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any
nature whatsoever from Administrative Agent except with respect to matters for which this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by
Administrative Agent to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not,
pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower
hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Administrative Agent with respect to
any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly
provide for the giving of notice by Administrative Agent to Borrower.
Section 19.14 Expenses; Indemnity; No Consequential Damages.
(A) Except as may be otherwise expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, Borrower covenants
and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Administrative Agent (and, where
applicable, each Lender) for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) (i) incurred by Administrative Agent in
connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; (ii)
incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with Administrative Agent’s ongoing performance of
and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents on its to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iii) incurred by
Administrative Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and
administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters as required herein or under the other
Loan Documents; (iv) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with securing Borrower’s
compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (v) incurred by
Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the filing
-159-
and recording fees and expenses,
mortgage recording taxes, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to
Administrative Agent all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating
and perfecting the Lien in favor of Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders pursuant to
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vi) incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender in
connection with enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the
prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against,
under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any other
security given for the Loan; (vii) incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection
with enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Property or in connection with any
refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature
of a work-out or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings and (viii) incurred by Administrative
Agent in connection with procuring insurance policies pursuant to Section 6.1.11;
provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such
costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts,
fraud or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent; provided, further, that, the
obligation to reimburse Lenders and Administrative Agent for the matters described in clause (vii)
above shall be limited to (x) one law firm for Administrative Agent and (y) one other law firm
retained by the Required Lenders, together with (in the case of (x) and (y), as applicable) one
additional counsel in each applicable jurisdiction. Any cost and expenses due and payable to
Administrative Agent or any Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Collateral Accounts or the
Hotel Operating Account if same are not paid by Borrower within ten (10) Business Days after
receipt of written notice from Administrative Agent.
(B) Borrower shall defend (subject to Administrative Agent’s, and in the case of any conflict
of interest, the applicable Indemnified Party’s selection of counsel) indemnify and save harmless
Administrative Agent, Lenders, and all of their respective officers, directors, stockholders,
members, partners, employees, agents, successors and assigns thereof (collectively, the
“Indemnified Parties”) from and against all Liabilities imposed upon or incurred by or
asserted against the Indemnified Parties or the Property or any part of its interest therein as a
result of a claim brought by any Person, including, without limitation, any Governmental Authority,
other than Borrower and its Affiliates, by reason of the occurrence or existence of any of the
following (to the extent Proceeds payable on account of the following shall be inadequate; it being
understood that in no event will the Indemnified Parties be required to actually pay or incur any
costs or expenses as a condition to the effectiveness of the foregoing indemnity: (1) ownership of
Borrower’s interest in the Property, or any interest therein, or receipt of any Rents or other sum
therefrom, (2) any accident, injury to or death of any persons or loss of or damage to property
occurring on or about the Property or any Appurtenances (as defined in the Security Instrument)
thereto, (3) any design, construction, operation, repair, maintenance, use, non-use or condition of
the Property or any Appurtenances (as defined in the Security Instrument) thereto, including claims
or penalties arising from violation of any Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement, as well as
any claim based on any patent or latent defect, whether or not discoverable by Administrative
Agent, any claim the insurance as to which is inadequate, (4) any Default under this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents or any failure on the part of Borrower to perform or comply with
any of the terms of any Lease within the applicable notice or grace periods, (5) any performance of
any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of
-160-
the
Property or any part thereof, (6) any negligence or tortious act or omission on the part of Borrower or any of their respective agents, contractors, servants,
employees, sublessees, licensees or invitees, (7) any contest referred to in Section 7.3
hereof, or (8) any obligation or undertaking relating to the performance or discharge of any of the
terms, covenants and conditions of the landlord contained in the Leases. Any amounts the
Indemnified Parties are legally entitled to receive under this Section which are not paid within
fifteen (15) Business Days after written demand therefor by the Indemnified Parties or
Administrative Agent, shall bear interest from the date of demand at the Default Rate, and shall,
together with such interest, be part of the Indebtedness and secured by the Security Instrument.
In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against the Indemnified Parties by reason of any
such occurrence, Borrower shall, at Borrower’s expense resist and defend such action, suit or
proceeding or will cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel at Borrower’s reasonable
expense for the insurer of the liability or by counsel designated by Borrower (unless reasonably
disapproved by Administrative Agent promptly after Administrative Agent has been notified of such
counsel); provided, however, that nothing herein shall compromise the right of
Administrative Agent (or any Indemnified Party) to appoint its own counsel at Borrower’s expense
for its defense with respect to any action which in its reasonable opinion presents a conflict or
potential conflict between Administrative Agent (or any Indemnified Party) and Borrower that would
make such separate representation advisable; provided further that if
Administrative Agent (or any Indemnified Party) shall have appointed separate counsel pursuant to
the foregoing, Borrower shall not be responsible for the expense of additional separate counsel of
any Indemnified Party unless in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent (or such Indemnified
Party) a conflict or potential conflict exists between such Indemnified Party and Administrative
Agent (in which case the obligation of Borrower for such separate counsel shall be limited to one
counsel representing all Lenders affected by such conflict or potential conflict). So long as
Borrower is resisting and defending such action, suit or proceeding as provided above in a prudent
and commercially reasonable manner, Administrative Agent and the Indemnified Parties shall not be
entitled to settle such action, suit or proceeding without Borrower’s consent which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and claim the benefit of this Section with respect
to such action, suit or proceeding and Administrative Agent agrees that it will not settle any such
action, suit or proceeding without the consent of Borrower; provided, however, that
if Borrower is not diligently defending such action, suit or proceeding in a prudent and
commercially reasonable manner as provided above, and Administrative Agent (or applicable
Indemnified Party) has provided Borrower with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, or shorter
period if mandated by the requirements of applicable law, and opportunity to correct such
determination, Administrative Agent (or applicable Indemnified Party) may settle such action, suit
or proceeding and claim the benefit of this Section 19.14 with respect to settlement of
such action, suit or proceeding. Any Indemnified Party will give Borrower prompt notice after such
Indemnified Party obtains actual knowledge of any potential claim by such Indemnified Party for
indemnification hereunder. The Indemnified Parties shall not settle or compromise any action,
proceeding or claim as to which it is indemnified hereunder without notice to Borrower.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an indemnity for Environmental Claims or other
environmental matters shall be governed solely by Section 12.4 hereof and the Environmental
Indemnity and not by this Section 19.14.
-161-
(C) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Transaction Party shall assert, and Borrower
hereby waives, any claim against Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Agent, and their
respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents, on
any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed
to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty
imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or
in any way related to, this Agreement or any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, the Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event
occurring in connection therewith, and Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon
and shall cause each Transaction Party to waive, release and agree not to xxx upon any such claim
or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its
favor.
Section 19.15 Exhibits and Schedules Incorporated. The Exhibits and Schedules
annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as
if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 19.16 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of a Lender’s
interest in and to this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free
and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which
Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated
counterclaim (other than a counterclaim which can only be asserted in the suit, action or
proceeding brought by such assignee on this Agreement, the Notes, the Security Instrument or any
Loan Document and cannot be maintained in a separate action) or defense shall be interposed or
asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents
and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any
such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 19.17 Liability of Assignees of Lenders. No assignee of a Lender shall have
any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or any amendment or amendments hereto made at any time or times, heretofore or
hereafter, any different than the liability of Lenders hereunder. In addition, no assignee shall
have at any time or times hereafter any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in
connection with or secured by any agreement, lease, instrument, encumbrance, claim or right
affecting or relating to the Property or to which the Property is now or hereafter subject any
different than the liability of Lenders hereunder. The limitation of liability provided in this
Section 19.17 is (i) in addition to, and not in limitation of, any limitation of liability
applicable to the assignee provided by law or by any other contract, agreement or instrument, and
(ii) shall not apply to any assignee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
-162-
Section 19.18 Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall receive and retain any
payment, whether by setoff, application of deposit balance or security, or otherwise, in respect of
the Obligations in excess of such Lender’s Percentage Share thereof, then such Lender shall
purchase from the other Lenders
for cash and at face value and without recourse, such participation in the Obligations held by
them as shall be necessary to cause such excess payment to be shared ratably as aforesaid with each
of them; provided, that if such excess payment or part thereof is thereafter recovered from
such purchasing Lender, the related purchases from the other Lenders shall be rescinded ratably and
the purchase price restored as to the portion of such excess payment so recovered, but without
interest. Each Lender is hereby authorized by Borrower to exercise any and all rights of setoff,
counterclaim or bankers’ lien against the full amount of the Obligations, whether or not held by
such Lender. Each Lender hereby agrees to exercise any such rights first against the Obligations
and only then to any other Indebtedness of Borrower to such Lender.
Section 19.19 Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lenders provided by
law, if an Event of Default exists, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time,
without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being waived by Borrower to the fullest extent
permitted by law, to set off and apply in favor of Lenders any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any
time owing to, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all
Obligations owing to Lenders, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not
Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan
Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly
to (i) notify Borrower and Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such
Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect
the validity of such set-off and application and (ii) pay such amounts that are set-off to
Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders.
Section 19.20 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(A) Borrower and Administrative Agent intend that the relationships created hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lenders. Nothing herein or therein
is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy
relationship between Borrower and Lenders or Administrative Agent nor to grant Administrative Agent
any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee or beneficiary on behalf of Lenders.
(B) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Administrative
Agent, Lenders and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrower any
right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations
contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lenders to make the Loan
hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lenders and no other Person (other
than Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders) shall have standing to require satisfaction of such
conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lenders will refuse to make
the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person (other
than Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders) shall under
any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be
freely waived in whole or in part by Administrative Agent if, in Administrative Agent’s sole
discretion, Administrative Agent deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
-163-
Section 19.21 Confidentiality. Administrative Agent and each Lender shall assure
that information about the Transaction Parties and their operations, affairs and financial
condition, not generally disclosed to the public, which is furnished to Administrative Agent or any
Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, is used only for
the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall not be divulged to any Person
other than Administrative Agent, Lenders, and their respective agents who are actively and directly
participating in the evaluation, administration or enforcement of the Loan Documents and other
transactions between Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, and the Transaction
Parties, as applicable, but in any event Administrative Agent and Lenders may make disclosure: (a)
to any of their respective affiliates (provided they shall agree to keep such information
confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section 19.21); (b) as reasonably
requested by any potential or actual Assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with
the contemplated transfer of any Loan, commitments or participations therein as permitted hereunder
(provided they shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of
this Section); (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof
or pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings or as otherwise required
by Legal Requirements; (d) to Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s independent auditors and
other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the
information); (e) following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of
Default, to any other Person in connection with the exercise by Administrative Agent or the Lenders
of remedies hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents; (f) upon the prior consent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) of Borrower to any contractual counter-parties to any
swap or similar hedging agreement or to any rating agency; and (g) to the extent such information
(x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section actually known to
such Lender to be such a breach or (y) becomes available to Administrative Agent or any Lender on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Transaction Parties or any affiliate thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose any such
confidential information, without notice to Borrower or any other Transaction Party, to
Governmental Authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of Administrative Agent or
such Lender or in accordance with the regulatory compliance policy of Administrative Agent or such
Lender.
Section 19.22 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by
law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the
assets of Borrower, Borrower’s shareholders and others with interests in Borrower and of the
Property, 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
Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the
Indebtedness without any prior or
different resort for collection or of the right of Administrative Agent to the payment of the
Indebtedness out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant
whatsoever.
-164-
Section 19.23 Waiver of Counterclaim and other Actions. Borrower hereby expressly
and unconditionally waives, in connection with any suit, action or proceeding brought by
Administrative Agent on this Agreement, the Notes, the Security Instrument or any Loan Document,
any and every right it may have to (i) interpose any counterclaim therein (other than a
counterclaim which can only be asserted in the suit, action or proceeding brought by Administrative
Agent on this Agreement, the Notes, the Security Instrument or any Loan Document and cannot be
maintained in a separate action) and (ii) have any such suit, action or proceeding consolidated
with any other or separate suit, action or proceeding.
Section 19.24 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any
conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the
provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were
represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the
Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing
their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to
the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan
without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of
Administrative Agent or Lenders or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Administrative Agent or
Lenders. Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of
any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or
instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or
Affiliate of Administrative Agent or any Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in
Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action
on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Administrative Agent’s exercise of any such rights or
remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lenders engage in the business of real estate financings and
other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive
with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section 19.25 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain
the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or
written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and unless
specifically set forth in a writing contemporaneous herewith the terms, conditions and provisions
of any and all such prior agreements do not survive execution of this Agreement.
-165-
Section 19.26 Reinstatement. This Agreement and the security interests created herein shall continue to be effective or
be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations
hereunder, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to bankruptcy, insolvency or other applicable laws,
rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by Administrative Agent
or any Lender. In the event that any payment or any part thereof is so rescinded, reduced,
restored or returned, such Obligations and the security interests created herein shall continue to
be effective or be reinstated (except to the extent the related collateral has been sold to a bona
fide purchaser for value) and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded,
reduced, restored or returned.
Section 19.27 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts,
each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one document.
Section 19.28 Nature of Borrower Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, it is understood and agreed by the various parties
to this Agreement that:
(a) all Obligations to repay principal of, interest on, and all other amounts with respect to,
the Loan and all other Obligations pursuant to this Agreement and each other Loan Document
(including, without limitation, all fees, indemnities, Taxes and other Obligations in connection
therewith) shall constitute the joint and several obligations of each Borrower;
(b) The obligations of each Borrower with respect to its respective Obligations are
independent of the obligations of each other Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be
brought and prosecuted against each Borrower, whether or not any other Borrower or any Guarantor is
joined in any such action or actions. Each Borrower waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement
thereof. Any payment by any Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of
limitations as to any Borrower shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, operate to toll the
statute of limitations as to each Borrower. (c) Each Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent and
Lenders without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be
waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:
(i) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any other Borrower or any
other Transaction Party or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;
(ii) release or substitute any other Borrower, endorsers, Guarantors or other obligors;
-166-
(iii) settle or compromise any of the Obligations, any security therefor or any
liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect
thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the
payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Borrower to its creditors other than
Lenders;
(iv) apply any sums paid by any other Borrower or any other Transaction Party,
howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of such other Borrower or other Person
regardless of what liability or liabilities of such other Borrower or other Transaction
Party remain unpaid; and/or
(v) consent to or waive any breach of, or act, omission or default under, this Agreement or
any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein, or otherwise, by any other Borrower or any
other Transaction Party.
(d) It is not necessary for Administrative Agent or any Lender to inquire into the capacity or
powers of any Borrower or any of its Affiliates or the officers, directors, members, partners or
agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any Obligations made or created in reliance
upon the professed exercise of such powers shall constitute the joint and several obligations of
the respective Borrower hereunder.
(e) No Borrower shall have any rights of contribution or subrogation with respect to any other
Borrower as a result of payments made by it hereunder, in each case unless and until all of the
Obligations have been paid in full in cash.
(f) Each Borrower waives any right to require Administrative Agent or Lenders to (i) proceed
against any other Borrower or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held
from any Borrower or any other Person or (iii) pursue any other remedy in Administrative Agent’s or
Lenders’ power whatsoever. Each Borrower waives any defense based on or arising out of suretyship
or any impairment of security held from any Borrower or any other party or on or arising out of any
defense of any other Borrower or any other party other than payment in full in cash of the its
Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability
of any other Borrower or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part
thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any other Borrower, in
each case other than as a result of the payment in full in cash of the Obligations.
(g) Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, each
Borrower’s joint and several liability for the Obligations shall be limited to the greater of (i)
the amount for which it is Primarily Liable and (ii) such Borrower’s Allocable Amount (as defined
in Section 13.17(h)). “Primarily Liable” for any Borrower, means liability in amount equal
to the proceeds of the Loans which were made available to such Borrower. The “Allocable
Amount” for any Borrower at any time shall be the maximum amount that could be recovered from
such Borrower at such time under the Loan Documents without rendering such payment voidable under
Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance
act, or similar statute or common law.
-167-
(h) If any Borrower makes a payment of any Obligations greater than that for which it is
Primarily Liable, it shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from,
and to be reimbursed by, each other Borrower in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the payment in
excess of the amount for which it is Primarily Liable and (ii) the Allocable Amount which after
giving effect to any Obligations of each other Borrower would not result in such contribution claim
being a fraudulent transfer.
(i) If any Borrower makes a payment of any Obligations (other than amounts for which such
Borrower is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other
Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that
such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations
satisfied by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such Borrower’s Allocable Amount
bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all Borrowers, then such Borrower shall be entitled to
receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by, each other
Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in
effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. The “Allocable Amount” for any
Borrower shall be the maximum amount that could then be recovered from such Borrower without
rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable
state fraudulent transfer or conveyance act, or similar statute or common law.
(j) Nothing contained in this Section 19.28 shall limit the liability of any Borrower
to pay the Loan and all accrued interest, fees, expenses and other related Obligations with respect
thereto, for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder.
(k) Each Borrower has requested that Administrative Agent and Lenders make this credit
facility available to Borrower on a combined basis, in order to finance Borrower’s business most
efficiently and economically. Borrower’s business is a mutual and collective enterprise, and
Borrower believes that consolidation of their credit facility will enhance the borrowing power of
each Borrower and ease the administration of their relationship with Administrative Agent and
Lenders, all to the mutual advantage of Borrower. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that
Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s willingness to extend credit to Borrower and to administer the
Collateral on a combined basis, as set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to Borrower
at its request.
(l) Each Borrower (including, without limitation, Operating Lessee in connection with the
Leaseco Intercompany Loan) hereby subordinates any claims, including any rights at law or in equity
to payment, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off, that
it may have at any time against any other Borrower, howsoever arising, to full and final payment in
full, in cash, of all Obligations.
(m) Each Borrower hereby restates and makes the waivers made by Guarantor in the Recourse
Guaranty. Such waivers are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein (and as
if applicable to each Borrower) and shall be effective for all purposes under the Loan Documents
(including, without limitation, in the event that any Borrower is deemed to be a surety or
guarantor of the Obligations (by virtue of Borrower being co-obligors and jointly and
severally liable hereunder, by virtue of each Borrower encumbering its interest in the
Collateral for the benefit or debts of the other Borrower in connection herewith or otherwise)).
