the applicable Borrower to the applicable Deposit Account Bank pursuant to the
terms of the applicable Deposit Account Agreement, provided that no Event of
Default exists, funds shall be made available from the Minimum Balance
Sub-Account to the applicable Borrower to pay the amount of such Chargebacks due
to such Deposit Account Bank (or to reimburse the applicable Borrower for any
such amounts as may have been
11
previously paid by or on behalf of such Borrower from other funds on account of
any Chargebacks at a time when insufficient amounts were available therefor in
the Minimum Balance Sub-Account) promptly after delivery to Lender of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Lender that such amounts are due (or have been paid
by or on behalf of the applicable Borrower). In the event that during a Cash
Trap Event, as a result of any such disbursement or otherwise, the Minimum
Balance Sub-Account shall contain less than the Minimum Balance, the Borrowers
shall be required to deposit such deficiency from and at the time of allocations
from the Lock Box Account pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(ix) hereof.
SECTION 2.2 DEPOSITS INTO ACCOUNTS. The Borrowers and Manager
represent, warrant and covenant that:
(a) Each Borrower and Manager shall cause all Operating
Revenues and other income and revenues received by such Borrower or Manager to
be deposited directly into the Deposit Account for each applicable Property. The
Borrowers shall obtain an agreement (each, a "CREDIT CARD RECEIVABLES PAYMENT
DIRECTION LETTER") from each of the Persons paying or disbursing credit card
receivables (each, a "CREDIT CARD COMPANY" and collectively, the "CREDIT CARD
COMPANIES"), in substantially the form of EXHIBIT A attached hereto or as
otherwise approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion, pursuant to which the
Credit Card Companies agree to pay all credit card receivables for the
Properties directly into the Lock Box Account, and acknowledge and agree that
Lender shall have a first priority perfected security interest in such credit
card receivables. Pursuant to the Deposit Account Agreement, all available funds
on deposit in the applicable Deposit Account shall be deposited directly by the
Deposit Bank into the Lock Box Account by wire transfer on each Business Day.
(b) If any Borrower or Manager receives any Operating
Revenues or other income or revenues from any Property, or any Extraordinary
Receipts, then such receipt shall not constitute a Default provided (i) such
amounts shall be deemed to be Collateral and shall be held in trust for the
benefit, and as the property, of Lender, and (ii) such Borrower or Manager shall
deposit such amounts into the applicable Deposit Account within two (2) Business
Days of receipt.
(c) Without the prior written consent of Lender, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, neither the
Borrowers nor Manager shall (i) terminate, amend, revoke or modify any Credit
Card Receivables Payment Direction Letter in any manner whatsoever, or (ii)
direct or cause any Credit Card Company to pay any amount in any manner other
than as provided in the related Credit Card Receivables Payment Direction
Letter, unless a replacement Credit Card Receivables Payment Direction Letter in
form reasonably acceptable to Lender is executed and delivered to Lender by any
proposed replacement Credit Card Company prior to termination of the then
effective Credit Card Receivables Payment Direction Letter.
(d) Each Borrower and Manager shall also cause the
proceeds of any Business Interruption Insurance to be deposited directly into
the Lock Box Account as same are paid (or, if any such proceeds are received by
such Borrower or Manager, same shall be deposited into the Lock Box Account
within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof) and such proceeds shall be
allocated and disbursed in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof. If the proceeds
of any such
12
Business Interruption Insurance are paid in a lump sum, such proceeds shall be
deposited into the Loss Proceeds Account. Agent shall cause monthly amounts to
be transferred from the Loss Proceeds Account to the Lock Box Account as
directed by Lender (based upon a ratable allocation of such proceeds over the
casualty restoration period as reasonably determined by Lender) on the first
(1st) Business Day of each calendar month during the period of restoration of
the Property, and after transfer of same to the Lock Box Account, such amounts
shall be allocated and disbursed in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof.
(e) The Borrowers and Manager shall also cause any
payments and proceeds payable to the Borrowers under any Cap entered into by or
for the benefit of the Borrowers and pledged to Lender in accordance with the
terms of the Loan Agreement to be deposited directly into the Lock Box Account
by the applicable Cap Provider (or, if any such proceeds are received by any
Borrower or Manager, same shall be deposited into the Lock Box Account within
two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof) and such proceeds shall be
allocated, disbursed and applied in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof.
SECTION 2.3 ACCOUNT NAME. The Accounts shall each be in the
names set forth herein; provided, however, that if Lender transfers or assigns
the Loan, Agent, at Lender's request (with respect to the Accounts other than
the Deposit Account), and each Deposit Bank (with respect to its Deposit
Account) shall change the name of each Account to the name of the transferee or
assignee. If Lender retains a Servicer to service the Loan, Agent, at Lender's
request, shall change the name of each Account to the name of Servicer, as agent
for Lender.
SECTION 2.4 ELIGIBLE ACCOUNTS/CHARACTERIZATION OF ACCOUNTS.
The Borrowers and Agent shall maintain each Account (other than the Deposit

is and shall be treated as a "SECURITIES ACCOUNT" as such term is defined in
Section 8-501(a) of the UCC. Agent hereby agrees that each item of property
(whether investment property, financial asset, securities, securities
entitlement, instrument, cash or other property) credited to each Account shall
be treated as a "FINANCIAL ASSET" within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of
the UCC. Agent shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, treat Lender as
entitled to exercise the rights that comprise any financial asset credited to
each Account. All securities or other property underlying any financial assets
credited to each Account (other than cash) shall be registered in the name of
Agent, indorsed to Agent or in blank or credited to another securities account
maintained in the name of Agent and in no case will any financial asset credited
to any Account be registered in the name of any Borrower, payable to the order
of any Borrower or specially indorsed to any Borrower.
SECTION 2.5 PERMITTED INVESTMENTS. Sums on deposit in the
Accounts may, at the Borrowers' election, be invested in Permitted Investments,
provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will funds in the
Deposit Account be subject to any investment. Except during the existence of any
Event of Default, the Borrowers shall have the right to direct Agent to invest
sums on deposit in the Accounts in Permitted Investments. After an Event of
Default and during the continuance thereof, Lender may direct Agent to invest
sums on deposit in the Accounts in Permitted Investments as Lender shall
determine in its sole discretion. The Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize and
direct Agent to apply any income earned from Permitted Investments to the
respective Accounts. The amount of actual losses sustained on a
13
liquidation of a Permitted Investment shall be deposited into the Lock Box
Account by the Borrowers no later than three (3) Business Days following such
liquidation. The Borrowers shall be responsible for payment of any federal,
state or local income or other tax applicable to income earned from Permitted
Investments. The Accounts shall be assigned the federal tax identification
number of the applicable Borrowers, which numbers are set forth on the signature
page hereof. Any interest, dividends or other earnings which may accrue on the
Accounts shall be added to the balance in the applicable Account and allocated
and/or disbursed in accordance with the terms hereof.

SECTION 5.1 SECURITY FOR OBLIGATIONS. (a) To secure the full
and punctual payment and performance of all Obligations of the Borrowers under
the Loan Agreement, the Note, the Security Instruments, this Agreement and all
other Loan Documents, the Borrowers hereby grant to Lender a first priority
continuing security interest in and to the following property of the Borrowers,
whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and regardless of

(b) Lender and Agent, as agent for Lender, shall have
with respect to the Collateral, in addition to the rights and remedies herein
set forth, all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the
UCC, as if such rights and remedies were fully set forth herein.

the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall promptly notify Agent of
such Event of Default and, without notice from Lender, (a) the Borrowers shall
have no further right in respect of (including, without limitation, the right to
instruct Lender or Agent to transfer from) the Accounts, (b) Lender may direct
Agent to liquidate and transfer any amounts then invested in Permitted
Investments to the Accounts or reinvest such amounts in other Permitted
Investments as Lender may reasonably determine is necessary to perfect or
protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to
enable Agent, as agent for Lender, or Lender to exercise and enforce Lender's
rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral, and (c) Lender may
apply any Collateral to any Obligations in such order of priority as Lender may
determine. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part
thereof, may be applied by Lender to the payment of the Obligations in such
priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper.
SECTION 5.3 FINANCING STATEMENT; FURTHER ASSURANCES.
Simultaneously herewith, the Borrowers shall deliver to Lender for filing a
financing statement or statements in
18
connection with the Collateral in the form reasonably required by Lender to
properly perfect Lender's security interest therein to the extent a security
interest in the Collateral may also be perfected by filing. The Borrowers agree
that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of the Borrowers, the
Borrowers will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and
documents, and take all further actions, that may be reasonably necessary, or
that Agent or Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any
security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby (including, without
limitation, any security interest in and to any Permitted Investments) or to
enable Agent or Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder
with respect to any Collateral. In the event of any change in name, identity or
structure of any Borrower, such Borrower shall notify Lender thereof and
promptly after Lender's reasonable request shall file and record, or deliver to

Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the
terms hereof, and Agent and/or Lender shall execute such instruments and
documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrowers to evidence such

Credit Card Receivables Payment Direction Letter and UCC-3 termination
statements.
VI. RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF LENDER AND AGENT
SECTION 6.1 REASONABLE CARE. Beyond the exercise of reasonable
care in the custody thereof or as otherwise expressly provided herein, neither
Agent nor Lender shall have any duty as to any 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.
Agent and Lender each shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the
custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral
is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Agent or Lender accords
its own property, it being understood that Agent and/or Lender shall not be
liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Collateral, or for
any diminution in value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of Agent or
Lender, its Affiliates, agents, employees or bailees, except to the extent that
such loss or damage results from such Person's gross negligence or willful
misconduct, provided that nothing in this Article VI shall be deemed to relieve
Agent from the duties and standard of care which, as a commercial bank, it
generally owes to depositors. Neither Lender nor Agent shall have any liability
for any loss resulting from the investment of funds in Permitted Investments in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
19
SECTION 6.2 INDEMNITY. Agent, in its capacity as agent
hereunder, shall be responsible for the performance only of such duties as are
specifically set forth herein, and no duty shall be implied from any provision
hereof. Agent shall not be under any obligation or duty to perform any act which
would involve it in expense or liability or to institute or defend any suit in
respect hereof, or to advance any of its own monies. The Borrowers shall
indemnify and hold Agent and Lender, their respective employees, officers,
directors and agents harmless from and against any loss, liability, cost or
damage (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements) incurred by Agent or Lender in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby, except to the extent that such loss or damage results from
such Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The foregoing indemnity
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation and removal
of Agent.
SECTION 6.3 RELIANCE. Agent shall be protected in acting upon
any notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion,
bond or other paper, document or signature believed by it to be genuine, and it
may be assumed that any person purporting to act on behalf of any Person giving
any of the foregoing in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly
authorized to do so. Agent may consult with legal counsel, and the advice or
opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection
in respect of any action taken or suffered by it hereunder and in good faith in
accordance therewith. Agent shall not be liable for any act or omission done or
omitted to be done by Agent in reliance upon any instruction, direction or
certification received by Agent and without gross negligence or willful or
reckless misconduct. Agent shall be entitled to execute any of the powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or through agents or
attorneys; provided, however, that the execution of such powers by any such
agents or attorneys shall not diminish, or relieve Agent for, responsibility
therefor to the same degree as if Agent itself had executed such powers.
SECTION 6.4 RESIGNATION OF AGENT.
(a) Agent shall have the right to resign as Agent
hereunder upon sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the Borrowers and
Lender, and in the event of such resignation, the Borrowers shall appoint a
successor Agent which must be an Eligible Bank. No such resignation by Agent
shall become effective until a successor Agent shall have accepted such
appointment and executed an instrument by which it shall have assumed all of the
rights and obligations of Agent hereunder. If no such successor Agent is
appointed within sixty (60) days after receipt of the resigning Agent's notice
of resignation, the resigning Agent may petition a court for the appointment of
a successor Agent.
(b) In connection with any resignation by Agent, (i) the
resigning Agent shall, (A) duly assign, transfer and deliver to the successor
Agent this Agreement and all cash and Permitted Investments held by it
hereunder, (B) deliver such financing statements and execute and deliver such
other instruments prepared by the Borrowers and reasonably approved by Lender or
prepared by Lender as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor
Agent, as agent for Lender, any security interest in the Collateral existing in
favor of the retiring Agent hereunder and to otherwise give effect to such
succession and (C) take such other actions as may be reasonably required by
Lender or the successor Agent in connection with the foregoing and (ii) the
successor Agent shall establish in Lender's name, as secured party, cash
collateral accounts, which shall become the Accounts for purposes of this
Agreement upon the succession
20
of such Agent, and which Accounts shall also be "securities accounts" within the
meaning of the UCC.
(c) Lender at its sole discretion shall have the right,
upon thirty (30) days notice to Agent, to substitute Agent with a successor
Agent that satisfies the requirements of an Eligible Bank or to have one or more
of the Accounts held by another Eligible Bank, provided that such successor
Agent shall perform the duties of Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
SECTION 6.5 LENDER APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. The Borrowers
hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint Lender as the Borrowers' true and
lawful attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest and with full power of
substitution, to exercise and enforce every right, power, remedy, option and
privilege of the Borrowers with respect to the Collateral, and do in the name,
place and stead of the Borrowers, all such acts, things and deeds for and on
behalf of and in the name of the Borrowers, which the Borrowers are required to
do hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or which Agent or Lender may
reasonably deem necessary to more fully vest in Lender the rights and remedies
provided for herein and to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement including,
without limitation, the filing of any UCC financing statements or continuation
statements in appropriate public filing offices on behalf of the Borrowers, in
any of the foregoing cases, upon the Borrowers' failure to take any of the
foregoing actions within ten (10) days after notice from Lender. The foregoing
powers of attorney are irrevocable and coupled with an interest. If any Borrower
fails to perform any agreement herein contained and such failure shall continue
for ten (10) days after notice of such failure is given to such Borrower, Lender
may perform or cause performance of any such agreement, and any reasonable
expenses of Lender and Agent in connection therewith shall be paid by the
Borrowers.
SECTION 6.6 ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF LIEN/OFFSET RIGHTS. Agent hereby
acknowledges and agrees with respect to the Accounts that (a) the Accounts shall

to Lender a first priority security interest in the Collateral, (d) Agent shall
not disburse any funds from the Accounts except as provided herein, and (e)
Agent shall invest and reinvest any balance of the Accounts in Permitted
Investments in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof. Agent hereby waives any right
of offset, banker's lien or similar rights against, or any assignment, security
interest or other interest in, the Collateral.
SECTION 6.7 REPORTING PROCEDURES.
Agent shall provide the Borrowers and Lender with a record of
all checks and any other items deposited to the Lock Box Account or processed
for collection. Agent shall send a daily credit advice to the Borrowers and
Manager, which credit advice shall specify the amount of each receipt deposited
into each Account on such date. Agent shall send a monthly report to the
Borrowers, Manager and Lender, which monthly report shall specify the credits
and charges to the Accounts for the previous calendar month. Agent shall, at the
request of Lender, establish Lender and its designated Servicer, and the
Borrowers, as users of Agent's electronic data transfer system in accordance
with Agent's standard procedures; provided that, the Borrowers' access shall be
limited to information services and shall under no circumstances provide the
Borrowers with transaction rights in any such account. Upon request of Lender or
its designated
21
Servicer, (i) Agent shall send to Lender or its designated Servicer, as
applicable, either (x) copies of the daily credit advices and any other advices
or reports furnished by Agent to the Borrowers and/or Manager hereunder or (y)
information on Account balances, to the extent said balances in the Accounts
have changed from the previous report, the aggregate amount of withdrawals from
the Accounts and other similar information via the electronic data transfer
system or facsimile transmission on a daily basis, and (ii) Agent shall advise
Lender or its designated Servicer, as applicable, of the amount of available

as Lender or its designated Servicer shall reasonably request. In the event
Agent shall resign as Agent hereunder, Agent shall provide the Borrowers with a
final written accounting, including closing statements, with respect to the
Accounts within thirty (30) days of resignation.

by law, and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise
apply all or any part of the Collateral against the Obligations or any part
thereof, including, without limitation, reasonable costs and expenses set forth
in Section 8.4 hereof;
(b) in its 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 and/or under any other
applicable law or in equity; and
(c) demand, collect, take possession of, receive, settle,
compromise, adjust, xxx for, foreclose or realize upon the Collateral (or any
portion thereof) as Lender may determine in its sole discretion.
SECTION 7.2 WAIVER. The Borrowers hereby expressly waive, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, presentment, demand, protest or any notice
of any kind in connection with this Agreement or the Collateral. The Borrowers
acknowledge and agree that ten (10) days' prior written notice of the time and
place of any public sale of the Collateral or any other intended disposition
thereof shall be reasonable and sufficient notice to the Borrowers within the
meaning of the UCC.
VIII. MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 8.1 TRANSFERS AND OTHER LIENS. Each Borrower agrees
that it will not (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral or (ii)
create or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to all or any of the
Collateral, except for the Lien granted under this Agreement.
SECTION 8.2 LENDER'S RIGHT TO PERFORM BORROWER'S OBLIGATIONS;
NO LIABILITY OF LENDER. If any Borrower fails to perform any of the covenants or
obligations contained herein, and such failure shall continue for a period ten
(10) Business Days after such Borrower's receipt of written notice thereof from
Lender, Lender may itself perform, or cause
22
performance of, such covenants or obligations, and the reasonable expenses of
Lender incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Borrowers to
Lender. Notwithstanding Lender's right to perform certain obligations of the
Borrowers, it is acknowledged and agreed that the Borrowers retain control of
the Property and operation thereof and notwithstanding anything contained herein
or Agent's or Lender's exercise of any of its rights or remedies hereunder,
under the Loan Documents or otherwise at law or in equity, neither Agent nor
Lender shall be deemed to be a mortgagee-in-possession nor shall Lender be
subject to any liability with respect to the Property or otherwise based upon
any claim of lender liability except as a result of Lender's gross negligence or
willful misconduct.
SECTION 8.3 NO WAIVER. The rights and remedies provided in
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and may be exercised
independently or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any other right or
remedy provided at law or in equity. No failure to exercise or delay by Agent or
Lender in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or under the Loan Documents
shall impair or prohibit the exercise of any such rights or remedies in the
future or be deemed to constitute a waiver or limitation of any such right or
remedy or acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy granted to Agent and/or
Lender hereunder or by law may be exercised by Agent and/or Lender at any time
and from time to time, and as often as Agent and/or Lender may deem it
expedient. Any and all of Agent's and/or Lender's rights with respect to the
lien and security interest granted hereunder shall continue unimpaired, and the
Borrowers shall be and remain obligated in accordance with the terms hereof,
notwithstanding (a) any proceeding of the Borrowers under the Federal Bankruptcy
Code or any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization laws or statutes of any
state, (b) the release or substitution of Collateral at any time, or of any
rights or interests therein or (c) any delay, extension of time, renewal,
compromise or other indulgence granted by the Agent and/or Lender in the event
of any default, with respect to the Collateral or otherwise hereunder. No delay
or extension of time by Agent and/or Lender in exercising any power of sale,
option or other right or remedy hereunder, and no notice or demand which may be
given to or made upon the Borrowers by Agent and/or Lender, shall constitute a
waiver thereof, or limit, impair or prejudice Agent's and/or Lender's right,
without notice or demand, to take any action against the Borrowers or to
exercise any other power of sale, option or any other right or remedy.
SECTION 8.4 EXPENSES. Agent shall deduct from the Lock Box
Account for its own account the monthly Servicing Fee for which the Borrowers
are responsible pursuant to Section 2.11 of the Loan Agreement prior to making
any disbursements pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(ii) hereof, and, for so long as the
Mezzanine Loan is outstanding, Agent shall deduct from the Lock Box Account the
monthly Mezzanine Servicing Fee for which the Mezzanine Borrower is responsible
pursuant to Section 2.11 of the Mezzanine Loan Agreement to be remitted to the
Mezzanine Servicer prior to making any disbursements pursuant to Section
3.3(a)(viii) hereof. The Collateral shall secure, and the Borrowers shall pay to
Agent and Lender within five (5) Business Days of the written demand therefor,
from time to time, all reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited
to, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, and transfer, recording and
filing fees, taxes and other charges) of, or incidental to, the creation or
perfection of any lien or security interest granted or intended to be granted
hereby, the custody, care, sale, transfer, administration, collection of or
realization on the Collateral, or in any way relating to the enforcement,
protection or preservation of the rights or remedies of Agent and/or Lender
under this Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the Note, the Security Instruments, or
the
23
other Loan Documents. Standard and customary fees and charges associated with
the Accounts shall be included on a monthly consolidated account analysis
statement which Agent shall submit to the Borrowers for the Borrowers' payment.
This statement shall set forth the fees and charges payable for such month,
including, but not limited to reasonable fees and reasonable expenses incurred
in connection with this Agreement and be accompanied by reasonably detailed
supporting documentation. Agent shall be entitled to charge the Accounts for
such reasonable fees and expenses as indicated by the analysis statement.
SECTION 8.5 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the
entire and final agreement between the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and may not be changed, terminated or otherwise varied, except by
a writing duly executed by the parties.
SECTION 8.6 NO WAIVER. No waiver of any term or condition of
this Agreement, whether by delay, omission or otherwise, shall be effective
unless in writing and signed by the party sought to be charged, and then such
waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for
which given.
SECTION 8.7 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective
successors and permitted assigns.
SECTION 8.8 NOTICES. All notices, demands, requests, consents,
approvals and other communications (any of the foregoing, a "NOTICE") required,

State of New York without regard to conflicts of law principles of such State.
SECTION 8.11 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in
any number of counterparts.
SECTION 8.12 EXCULPATION. The provisions of Article XII of the
Loan Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement as to
the liability of the Borrowers hereunder to the same extent and with the same
force as if fully set forth herein, and shall apply equally to Manager to the
same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth

Re: _______________________ (the "COMPANY")
Gentlemen:
________________ (the "PROCESSOR") has entered into arrangements
pursuant to which Processor acts as credit card processing service provider with
respect to certain credit card and debit card sales by Company and makes
payments to Company in respect of such sales as set forth in the [Merchant
Services Bankcard Agreement], dated _____________ between Processor and Company
(and together with any replacement agreement thereto, referred to herein as the
"CARD PROCESSING AGREEMENT").
Please be advised that Company has entered or is about to enter into
financing arrangements with Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Mortgage Lending, Inc. (the "LENDER")
pursuant to which Lender may from time to time make loans and advances and
provide other financial accommodations to Company, secured by, among other
things, all of Company's right, title and interest in and to all deposit and
other bank accounts and proceeds of the foregoing, including all amounts at any
time payable by Processor to Company pursuant to the Card Processing Agreement
or otherwise.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Card
Processing Agreement or any prior instructions to Processor, unless and until
Processor receives written instructions from Lender to the contrary, effective
as of the day after the date of Processor's written acknowledgement below all
amounts payable by Processor to Company pursuant to the Card Processing
Agreement or otherwise shall be sent by federal funds wire transfer or
electronic depository transfer to the following bank account of Lender:
___________ (the "BANK")
ABA Number: ___________
For the Account of: Lock Box Account for the benefit of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Mortgage
Lending, Inc., its successors and assigns
Account Number: ____________
Attn: ____________, Fax: ____________
In the event Processor at any time receives any other instructions from
Lender with respect to the disposition of amounts payable by or through
Processor to Company pursuant to
A-1
the Card Processing Agreement or otherwise, Processor is hereby irrevocably
authorized and directed to follow such instructions, without inquiry as to
Lender's right or authority to give such instructions. Company and Lender
acknowledge that (a) any instructions from Lender to Processor to change the
account to which funds must be sent by a vice president or other officer of
Lender to ____________; (b) such instructions shall only provide for funds to be
sent to a single deposit account of Lender, in a manner with respect to the
nature of the funds transfer and at times consistent with the payment practices
of Processor as then in effect, unless otherwise agreed by Processor. The
Company agrees to hold harmless Processor for any action taken by Processor in
accordance with the terms of this letter and the Card Processing Agreement; and
Lender shall complete such account change forms as Processor may require. The
Company hereby acknowledges that the account set forth above is owned by Company
but is under the control of Lender.
Lender and Company hereby confirm and agree as follows: (i) the Card
Processing Agreement is in full force and effect and (ii) this Payment Direction
Letter does not prohibit or limit any rights Processor possesses under the Card
Processing Agreement, including but not limited to Processor's right to debit,
offset or charge back any amount owing to Processor under the Card Processing
Agreement or any replacement or renewal thereof, against funds sent to or to be
sent to the above referenced bank account.
This Payment Direction Letter cannot be changed, modified, or
terminated, except by written agreement signed by Lender, Company and Processor.
Processor agrees to use reasonable efforts to ensure payment instructions are
followed, but Lender and Company herein acknowledge that Processor shall incur
no liability for changes or modifications wherein Processor has received
instructions from Company or Lender to change deposit instructions. The terms of
this Payment Direction Letter shall be governed by the laws of the State of New
York.
Please acknowledge your receipt of, and agreement to, the foregoing by
signing in the space provided below.
Very truly yours,
