Any and all payments by Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on Lender’s income, and franchise taxes imposed on Lender by the law or regulation of any Governmental Authority (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to in this Section 2.2.3 as “Applicable Taxes”). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Applicable Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, the following shall
16
apply: (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.2.3), Lender 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 taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. Payments pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 shall be made within twenty (20) days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor.
2.2.4 Breakage Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify Lender against any loss or expense which Lender may actually sustain or incur in liquidating or redeploying deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain the Loan or any part thereof as a consequence of (i) any payment or prepayment of the Loan or any portion thereof made on a date other than a Payment Date and (ii) any default in payment or prepayment of the Principal or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the date thereof or otherwise, and whether by acceleration or otherwise). Lender shall deliver to Borrower a statement for any such sums which it is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.2.4, which statement shall be binding and conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.2.4 are in addition to Borrower’s obligations to pay any Spread Maintenance Premium and Prepayment Premium applicable to a payment or prepayment of Principal.
2.2.5 New Payment Date. Lender shall have the right, to be exercised not more than once during the term of the Loan, to change the Payment Date to a date other than the first (1st) day of each month (a “New Payment Date”), on 30 days’ written notice to Borrower; provided, however, that any such change in the Payment Date: (i) shall not modify the amount of regularly scheduled monthly interest payments, except that the first payment of interest payable on the New Payment Date shall be accompanied by interest at the interest rate herein provided for the period from the Payment Date in the month in which the New Payment Date first occurs to the New Payment Date, and (ii) shall extend the Stated Maturity Date to the New Payment Date occurring in the month set forth in the definition of Stated Maturity Date.
2.3 Loan Repayment.
2.3.1 Repayment. Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal balance of the Note in full on the Maturity Date, together with interest thereon to (but excluding) the date of repayment and any other amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of any repayment, including any prepayments of the Loan, shall be applied by Lender as follows in the following order of priority: First, accrued and unpaid interest at the Interest Rate; Second, to Principal; and Third, to the Prepayment Premium, if any, and any other amounts then due and owing under the Loan Documents, including the Spread Maintenance Premium (if such repayment or prepayment occurs prior to the Lockout Date). If prior to the Stated Maturity Date the Debt is accelerated by reason of an Event of Default or any amounts in any Cash Management Account are applied by Lender to Principal by reason of an Event of Default, then Lender 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 Spread Maintenance Premium or Prepayment Premium applicable to such Principal so accelerated. During the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of repayment, including any payment or recovery on the Collateral (or any portion
17
thereof) (whether through foreclosure or otherwise) shall, unless otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, be applied in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect in Lender’s discretion.
2.3.2 Mandatory Prepayments.
(a) In the event of any Liquidation Event, Borrower shall cause the related Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service to be deposited directly into the Subordinate Deposit Account, which shall then be applied by Lender on the next succeeding Payment Date towards the amount necessary to fully repay the Loan including all interest accrued to the date of prepayment and any other sums then due and payable by Borrower to Lender. Any amounts of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service in excess of the Debt shall be paid to Borrower.
(b) Borrower shall notify Lender of any Liquidation Event not later than one Business Day following the first date on which Borrower has knowledge of such event. Borrower shall be deemed to have knowledge of (i) a sale (other than a foreclosure sale) of the Property on the date on which a contract of sale for such sale is entered into, and a foreclosure sale, on the date notice of such foreclosure sale is given, and (ii) a refinancing of the Property, on the date on which a commitment for such refinancing has been entered into. The provisions of this Section 2.3.2 shall not be construed to contravene in any manner the restrictions and other provisions regarding refinancing of the Senior Loan or Transfer of the Property set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
2.3.3 Optional Prepayments. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Documents to the contrary, except as the result of an acceleration of the Stated Maturity Date or if expressly provided under Section 2.3.2 hereof, Borrower may not voluntarily prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, prior to the Lockout Date. At any time on or subsequent to the Lockout Date, Borrower shall have the right to prepay all or, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any portion of the Principal on any Payment Date provided that Borrower gives Lender at least thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof and such prepayment is accompanied by the Prepayment Premium applicable thereto. If any such prepayment is not made on a Payment Date, Borrower shall also pay interest that would have accrued on such prepaid Principal to but not including the next Payment Date.
2.4 Release of Collateral. Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of the Debt in accordance herewith, release the Liens of the Pledge and other Security Documents if not theretofore released.
2.5 Payments and Computations.
2.5.1 Making of Payments. Each payment by Borrower shall be made in funds settled through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System or other funds immediately available to Lender by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date such payment is due, to Lender by deposit to such account as Lender may designate by written notice to Borrower. Whenever any such payment shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day thereafter. All such payments shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction, set-off or counterclaim whatsoever and are
18
payable without relief from valuation and appraisement laws and with all costs and charges incurred in the collection or enforcement thereof, including attorneys’ fees and court costs.
2.5.2 Computations. Interest payable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year.
2.5.3 Late Payment Charge. If any Principal, interest or other sum due under any Loan Document is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of 5% of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law (the “Late Payment Charge”), in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Such amount shall be secured by the Loan Documents.
2.6 Interest Rate Protection Agreements.

(2) Borrower’s interest in such Interest Rate Protection Agreement has been assigned to Lender pursuant to documentation satisfactory to Lender in form and substance, and the counterparty to such Interest Rate Protection Agreement has executed and delivered to Lender an acknowledgment of such assignment, which acknowledgment includes such counterparty’s agreement to pay directly into the Subordinate Deposit Account all sums payable by such counterparty pursuant to the Interest Rate Protection Agreement and shall otherwise be satisfactory to Lender in form and substance.
(3) In connection with an Interest Rate Protection Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender an opinion of counsel from counsel (in-house or independent) for the issuer of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide in relevant part, that: (a) the issuer is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Protection Agreement; (b) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement by the issuer, and any other agreement which the issuer has executed and
19

(4) In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the issuer of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement below “A+” by S&P and “Aa3” by Xxxxx’x, Borrower shall replace the Interest Rate Protection Agreement with a replacement Interest Rate Protection Agreement from an Acceptable Counterparty (with terms identical to the Interest Rate Protection Agreement being replaced, or otherwise approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion and the Rating Agencies) not later than twenty (20) days following receipt of notice from Lender or the Servicer of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification.
2.6.2 Execution of Documents. Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the counterparty of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement such confirmations and agreements as may be requested by such counterparty in connection with such Interest Rate Protection Agreement.
2.6.3 No Obligation of Lender. Borrower agrees that Lender shall not have any obligation, duty or responsibility to Borrower or any other Person by reason of, or in connection with, any Interest Rate Protection Agreement (including any duty to provide or arrange any Interest Rate Protection Agreement, to consent to any mortgage or pledge of the Property or any portion thereof as security for Borrower’s performance of its obligations under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement, or to provide any credit or financial support for the obligations of Borrower or any other Person thereunder or with respect thereto). No Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall alter, impair, restrict, limit or modify in any respect the obligation of Borrower to pay interest on the Loan as and when the same becomes due and payable in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents.
2.6.4 Receipts from Interest Rate Protection Agreements. All payments made by the counterparty to the Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall be deposited into the Subordinate Deposit Account and applied in the same manner as Rents are applied under Section 3.4.

All Spread Maintenance Premium and Prepayment Premium payments hereunder shall be deemed to be earned by Lender upon the funding of the Loan.

expires no earlier than the First Extended Maturity Date, the Second Extended Maturity Date or the Third Extended Maturity Date, as applicable, and which extension or new agreement is in respect of a notional amount of the then outstanding Principal and is otherwise on the same terms set forth in Section 2.6.1 hereof and has the effect of capping LIBOR at six percent (6%) per annum;
(d) in the case of extending the Term until the Second Extended Maturity Date, the Debt Yield for the twelve (12)-month period ending May 31, 2009 (or the most recently completed twelve (12)-month period for which information is available) is at least twelve percent (12%);

2.9.2 Additional Advances. It is the intention of Lender and Borrower that the entire amount of the Additional Advance (i.e., $5,000,000) shall be requested by Borrower on or before October 31, 2006.

Borrower shall have no right to request, and Lender shall have no obligation to fund, any Additional Advance after October 31, 2006.
2.9.3 Optional Disbursements.
(a) If any or all conditions precedent to making an Additional Advance have not been satisfied on the date such Additional Advance was requested to be made, Lender may, at its sole option (i) waive so many of such conditions precedent as it may elect, and/or (ii) disburse only that portion of the requested Additional Advance for which all of the conditions precedent have been satisfied. To the extent Lender makes an Additional Advance for which any of the conditions precedent have not been satisfied, the making of such Additional Advance shall constitute a waiver of such unsatisfied conditions for such Additional Advance (but not for any other Additional Advance), unless otherwise set forth in a written notice from Lender to Borrower.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right (but no obligation) to make any or all Additional Advances directly to contractors or any other Person to whom payment is due with respect to any Approved Renovation/Re-Branding Expenses. The execution of this Agreement by Borrower shall, and hereby does, constitute an irrevocable direction and authorization to so disburse any such Additional Advance. No further direction or authorization from Borrower shall be necessary or required for such direct disbursements and all such disbursements shall satisfy pro tanto the obligations of Lender hereunder and shall be secured by the applicable Loan Documents as fully as if made directly to Borrower, regardless of the disposition thereof by the payee.
(c) Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation), by its own action (and without any request therefor by Borrower), to disburse to itself (or retain from) any Additional Advance amounts to pay interest, fees and any other sums then due and payable to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, after Borrower’s failure to make such payments in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents.
3. CASH MANAGEMENT AND RESERVES
3.1 Cash Management Arrangements. Borrower shall cause Owner to cause all Rents to be deposited and applied in accordance with the Senior Loan Documents. Borrower shall cause Owner to cause all Rents to be deposited and applied in accordance with the Senior Loan Documents. All funds deposited by the Deposit Bank into the Subordinate Deposit Account shall be deemed to be a distribution from Owner to Borrower and shall be applied and disbursed in accordance with this Agreement and the Subordinate Deposit Account Agreement. The Subordinate Deposit Account and all subaccounts established by Lender therein (which may be ledger or book entry accounts and not actual accounts) shall at all times be Eligible Accounts (such subaccounts are referred to herein as “Subaccounts”). The Subordinate Deposit Account
25
and any Subaccount will be under the sole control and dominion of Lender, and neither Borrower, Owner nor Manager nor any person claiming by or through Borrower or Manager shall have any right of withdrawal therefrom. Borrower shall pay for all expenses of opening and maintaining all of the above accounts. If, at any time during the Term, Senior Lender is not requiring Owner to comply with the cash management arrangements set forth in Section 3.1 of the Senior Loan Agreement and the Clearing Account Agreement and the Senior Deposit Account Agreement (or the Senior Loan has been refinanced or otherwise repaid in full in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), then Lender shall have the right, at its option, to require such cash management arrangements, substantially in accordance with the provisions of the foregoing.
3.2 Reserves.
3.2.1 General. If, at any time during the Term, Senior Lender is not requiring Owner to make the required deposits required under Article 3 of the Senior Loan Agreement (or the Senior Loan has been refinanced or otherwise repaid in full in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), including pursuant to Sections 3.3, 3.4 or 3.6 of the Senior Loan Agreement, then Lender shall have the right, at its option, to require Borrower to make such required deposits to Lender, in which case such deposits shall be made by Borrower and held in Subaccounts and disbursed by Lender substantially in accordance with the provisions of such applicable sections of the Senior Loan Agreement (including Section 3.11(a) of the Senior Loan Agreement governing priority and order of application).
3.2.2 Renovation/Re-Branding Reserve. Any amounts advanced by Lender pursuant to Section 2.9.2 hereof constituting the Additional Advance Shortfall shall be transferred by Lender into a Subaccount (the “Renovation/Re-Branding Reserve Subaccount”). Provided each of the conditions and deliveries precedent set forth in Section 2.9.1 hereof have been satisfied or delivered (other than clause (g) if the same has theretofore been satisfied), Lender shall disburse funds held in the Renovation/Re-Branding Reserve Subaccount to Borrower, within ten (10) days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least $5,000 to be used solely to make capital contributions to Owner for Owner to pay (or to reimburse Owner for the prior payment of) Approved Renovation/Re-Branding Expenses at the Property. Any such disbursement of more than $25,000 to pay (rather than reimburse) Approved Renovation/Re-Branding Expenses may, at Lender’s option, be made by joint check payable to Owner and the payee on such Approved Renovation/Re-Branding Expenses.
3.3 Grant of Security Interest; Application of Funds. As security for payment of the Debt and the performance by Borrower of all other terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges and assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender a security interest in, all Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all payments to or monies held in or credited to the Subordinate Deposit Account and all Subaccounts created pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the “Cash Management Accounts”) and in and to all payments or monies held in the Cash Management Accounts. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Cash Management Account, or permit any Lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed
26
with respect thereto. This Agreement is, among other things, intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the UCC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender acknowledges that the security interest granted to Lender hereunder and pursuant to the other Loan Documents with respect to Third Party Disbursements is granted subject to the right, title and interest of any third party that is not an Affiliate of Borrower, Sole Member or Guarantor in and to such Third Party Disbursements. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any sums in any Cash Management Account in any order and in any manner as Lender shall elect in Lender’s discretion without seeking the appointment of a receiver and without adversely affecting the rights of Lender to foreclose the Lien of the Security Documents or exercise its other rights under the Loan Documents. Cash Management Accounts shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. All interest which accrues on the funds in any Cash Management Account shall accrue for the benefit of Borrower and shall be taxable to Borrower and shall be added to and disbursed in the same manner and under the same conditions as the principal sum on which said interest accrued. Upon repayment in full of the Debt, all remaining funds in the Subaccounts, if any, shall be promptly disbursed to Borrower.
3.4 Cash Flow Allocation.
(a) All amounts deposited into the Subordinate Deposit Account during the immediately preceding Interest Period shall be applied on each Payment Date as follows in the following order of priority:
(i) First, to pay the monthly portion of the fees charged by the Deposit Bank in accordance with the Subordinate Deposit Account Agreement;
(ii) Second, to Lender to pay the interest due on such Payment Date (plus, if applicable, interest at the Default Rate and all other amounts, other than those described under other clauses of this Section 3.4, then due to Lender under the Loan Documents);
(iii) Third, to Lender, for purposes of funding any reserves, if required under Section 3.2;
(iv) Fourth, provided (A) no Event of Default is continuing and (B) sufficient funds exist in the Subordinate Deposit Account, to pay, in accordance with Borrower’s instructions, any management, franchise, chain service or other similar fees payable to any Affiliate of Owner, Borrower, Guarantor or Manager; and
(v) Lastly, payments to Borrower of any remaining amounts.
(b) The failure of Borrower to make all of the payments required under clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 3.4(a) in full on each Payment Date shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement; provided, however, if adequate funds are available in the Subordinate Deposit Account for such payments, the failure by the Deposit Bank to allocate such funds into the appropriate Subaccounts shall not constitute an Event of Default.
27
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.4, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may apply all amounts deposited into the Subordinate Deposit Account to the Debt in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion. Lender’s right to so apply such funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under the Loan Documents.
4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

4.2 Proceedings; Enforceability. Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by Borrower and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and general principles of equity. The Loan Documents are not subject to, and Borrower has not asserted, any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury.
4.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by Borrower and the transactions contemplated hereby (x) do not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property of Borrower or Owner pursuant to the terms of, any agreement or instrument to which Borrower or Owner is a party or by which its property is subject, and (y) do not result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or Owner or any of their respective properties. Neither Owner’s nor Borrower’s rights under the Licenses and the Management Agreement will be adversely affected by the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, Borrower’s performance thereunder, or the exercise of any remedies by Lender. Any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.
4.4 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or other proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or, to Borrower’s best knowledge, threatened against or affecting Borrower, Owner or the Property, which, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or
28
business of Borrower (including the ability of Borrower to carry out its obligations under the Loan Documents), Owner or the use, value, condition or ownership of the Property or the Collateral.
4.5 Agreements. Neither Borrower nor Owner is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which could be reasonably expected to adversely affect Borrower or Owner or the Property, or Borrower’s or Owner’s business, properties, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Neither Borrower nor Owner is in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any Permitted Encumbrance or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it, the Collateral or the Property is bound.
4.6 Title. Owner has good, marketable and indefeasible title in fee to the real property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens except the Permitted Encumbrances. The Pledge, together with any UCC Financing Statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create a valid, perfected first priority liens on the Borrower’s interest in the Pledged Collateral, all in accordance with the terms thereof. The Permitted Encumbrances do not materially adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property, or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. No Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to Borrower’s best knowledge, is contemplated with respect to all or part of the Property or for the relocation of roadways providing access to the Property. To Borrower’s best knowledge, there are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents. There are no outstanding options to purchase or rights of first refusal affecting all or any portion of the Property. The survey for the Property delivered to Senior Lender does not fail to reflect any material matter affecting the Property or the title thereto. All of the Improvements included in determining the appraised value of the Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Property, and no improvement on an adjoining property encroaches upon the Property, and no easement or other encumbrance upon the Property encroaches upon any of the Improvements, except those insured against by the Title Insurance Policy. Each parcel comprising the Property is a separate tax lot and is not a portion of any other tax lot that is not a part of the Property. There are no pending or proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Property, or any contemplated improvements to the Property that may result in such special or other assessments.
4.7 No Bankruptcy Filing. Neither Owner nor Borrower is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency law or the liquidation of all or a major portion of its property (a “Bankruptcy Proceeding”), and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against Borrower or Owner. In addition, neither Borrower nor Sole Member nor Owner nor any principal nor Affiliate of Borrower or Sole Member or Owner has been a party to, or the subject of a Bankruptcy Proceeding for the past ten years.
4.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower in any Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower that has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, or,
29
could be reasonably be expected to adversely affect, the Property, the Pledged Collateral or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower or Owner. All financial data, including the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in respect of Borrower, Owner, the Collateral and the Property (i) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) accurately represent the financial condition of Borrower, Owner and the Property as of the date of such reports, and (iii) to the extent audited, reported on, reviewed or prepared by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Neither Borrower nor Owner has any known and material contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments, unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments or any liabilities or obligations not expressly permitted by this Agreement and the Senior Loan Agreement. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower, Owner and the Property from that set forth in said financial statements. All representations under this Section 4.8 which are solely based on financial data prepared by the seller of the Property which cover a period of time prior to Owner’s acquisition of the Property on May 3, 2006 shall be limited to the best knowledge of Borrower.
4.9 Tax Filings. To the extent required, Borrower and Owner have filed (or have obtained effective extensions for filing) all federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed and have paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all federal, state and local taxes, charges and assessments payable by Borrower and Owner. Borrower believes that Borrower’s and Owner’s tax returns (if any) properly reflect the income and taxes of Borrower and Owner for the periods covered thereby, subject only to reasonable adjustments required by the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable tax authority upon audit.
4.10 ERISA; No Plan Assets. As of the date hereof and throughout the Term (i) neither Borrower nor Owner is or will be an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, (ii) none of the assets of Borrower or Owner constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, (iii) neither Borrower nor Owner is or will be a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (iv) transactions by or with Borrower or Owner are not and will not be subject to state statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans. As of the date hereof, neither Borrower, nor Owner nor any member of a “controlled group of corporations” (within the meaning of Section 414 of the Code) maintains, sponsors or contributes to a “defined benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(35) of ERISA) or a “multiemployer pension plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(37)(A) of ERISA).
4.11 Compliance. Except as otherwise set forth in the PZR Report delivered to Lender in connection with Loan, Borrower, Owner and the Property and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements (including with respect to parking and applicable zoning and land use laws, regulations and ordinances). Neither Borrower nor Owner is in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower or Owner. The Property is used exclusively for hotel use and other appurtenant and related uses (including appurtenant health club, spa, restaurant, bar, recreational, entertainment and parking uses). In the event that all or
30
any part of the Improvements are destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such damage or destruction, and to Borrower’s best knowledge thereafter exist for the same use without violating any zoning or other ordinances applicable thereto as of the date hereof and without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special permits. No legal proceedings are pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened with respect to the zoning of the Property. Neither the zoning nor any other right to construct, use or operate the Property is in any way dependent upon or related to any property other than the Property. All certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including certificates of completion and occupancy permits required for the legal use, occupancy and operation of the Property (collectively, the “Licenses”), have been obtained and are in full force and effect. The use being made of the Property is in conformity with the certificate of occupancy issued for the Property and all other restrictions, covenants and conditions affecting the Property.
4.12 Contracts. Except as set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto, there are no service, maintenance or repair contracts affecting the Property that are not terminable on one month’s notice or less without cause and without penalty or premium. All service, maintenance or repair contracts affecting the Property have been entered into at arms-length in the ordinary course of the business of Owner and provide for the payment of fees in amounts and upon terms comparable to existing market rates.
4.13 Federal Reserve Regulations; Investment Company Act. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose that would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other regulation of such Board of Governors, or for any purpose prohibited by Legal Requirements or any Loan Document. Borrower is not (i) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (ii) a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of either a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended; or (iii) subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.
4.14 Easements; Utilities and Public Access. All easements, cross easements, licenses, air rights and rights-of-way or other similar property interests (collectively, “Easements”), if any, necessary for the full utilization of the Improvements for their intended purposes have been obtained, are described in the Title Insurance Policy and are in full force and effect without default thereunder. The Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service it for its intended uses. All public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of the Property are located in the public right-of-way abutting the Property, and all such utilities are connected so as to serve the Property without passing over other property absent a valid easement. All roads necessary for the use of the Property for its current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities.
4.15 Physical Condition. The Property, including all Improvements, parking facilities, systems, Equipment and landscaping, are in good condition, order and repair in all material respects; there exists no structural or other material defect or damages to the Property.
31
Neither Borrower nor Owner has received notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defect or inadequacy in the Property, or any part thereof, which would adversely affect its insurability or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or any termination of any policy of insurance or bond. No portion of the Property is located in an area as identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood hazards. The Improvements have suffered no material casualty or damage which has not been fully repaired and the cost thereof fully paid.
4.16 Leases. The Property is not subject to any Leases.
4.17 Fraudulent Transfer. Borrower has not entered into the Loan or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and Borrower has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).
4.18 Ownership of Borrower and Owner. Borrower is the owner of 100% of the issued and outstanding ownership interests in Owner, free and clear of all Liens and encumbrances. No other ownership interests in Owner have been issued or are issuable. All of the ownership interests in Owner have been duly and validly issued, have been fully paid for and are non-assessable. There are no options or rights to acquire any ownership interests in Owner. The sole member of Borrower is the Sole Member. The membership interests in Borrower are owned free and clear of all Liens, warrants, options and rights to purchase, other than the Permitted Encumbrances. Borrower has no obligation to any Person to purchase, repurchase or issue any ownership interest in it. The organizational chart attached hereto as Schedule 3 is complete and accurate and illustrates all Persons who have a direct or indirect ownership interest in Borrower and Owner, except for any additional economic benefits, promotes or other incidents of ownership which may not be reflected on such chart but are set forth in the relevant organizational documents.
4.19 Purchase Options. Neither the Property nor any part thereof is subject to any purchase options or other similar rights in favor of third parties.
4.20 Management Agreement. The Management Agreement is in full force and effect. With respect to the Management Agreement, there is no default, breach or violation existing thereunder, and no event has occurred (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default, breach or violation thereunder, by either party thereto.

4.22 Name; Principal Place of Business. Except as set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto, Borrower does not use and will not use any trade name and has not done and will not do business under any name other than its actual name set forth herein.

(b) The Pledged Collateral is not and will not be subject to any contractual restriction upon the transfer thereof (except for any such restriction contained in the Pledge).
(c) The chief place of business of Borrower and the office where Borrower keeps its records concerning the Pledged Collateral will be located at all times at the address specified as Borrower’s address in Section 6.1.

(e) The Security Documents create a valid security interest in the Pledged Collateral, securing the payment of the Debt, and upon the filing in the appropriate filing offices of the financing statements to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement, such security interests will be perfected, first priority security interests, and all filings and other actions necessary to perfect such security interests will have been duly taken. Upon the exercise of its rights and remedies under the Pledge, Lender will succeed to all of the rights, titles and interest of Borrower in Owner without the consent of any other Person and will, without the consent of any other Person, be admitted as the sole member in Owner.

No default, breach, violation or event of default has occurred under any Senior Loan Document which remains uncured or unwaived and no circumstance, event or condition has occurred or exists which, with the giving of notice and/or the expiration of the applicable period would constitute an Event of Default under the Senior Loan Documents.

(a) This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, create a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) in the Subordinate Deposit Account and the Subaccounts in favor of Lender, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, other than Permitted Encumbrances, and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from Borrower. Other than in connection with the Loan Documents and except
34
for Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower has not sold or otherwise conveyed the Subordinate Deposit Account or any of the Subaccounts;
(b) The Subordinate Deposit Account and the Subaccounts constitute “deposit accounts” or “securities accounts” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code; and

removal which is not required by law, but in response to the opinion of a licensed hydrogeologist, licensed environmental engineer or other qualified environmental consulting firm engaged by Lender (“Lender’s Consultant”)), promptly after Borrower becomes aware of same, at Borrower’s sole expense. Nothing herein shall prevent Borrower from recovering such expenses from any other party that may be liable for such removal or cure.
5.8.2 Environmental Monitoring.
(a) Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender of (i) any proceeding or inquiry by any party (including any Governmental Authority) with respect to the presence of any Hazardous Substance on, under, from or about the Property, (ii) all claims made or, to Borrower’s best knowledge, threatened by any third party (including any Governmental Authority) against Borrower, Owner or the Property or any party occupying the Property relating to any loss or injury resulting from any Hazardous Substance, and (iii) Borrower’s or Owner’s discovery of any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Property that could cause the Property to be subject to any investigation or cleanup pursuant to any Environmental Law. Upon becoming aware of the presence of mold or fungus at the Property, Borrower shall (or shall cause Owner to) (i) undertake an investigation to identify the source(s) of such mold or fungus and shall develop and implement an appropriate remediation plan to eliminate the presence of any Toxic Mold, (ii) perform or cause to be performed all acts reasonably necessary for the remediation of any Toxic Mold (including taking any action necessary to clean and disinfect any portions of the Property affected by Toxic Mold, including providing any necessary moisture control systems at the Property), and (iii) provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of the foregoing.

(b) Upon Lender’s reasonable request, at any time and from time to time (but not more than once in any twelve (12) month period, unless Lender has a good faith belief that there is a violation of Environmental Laws or a release of Hazardous Substances at or near the Property), Borrower shall (or shall cause Owner to) provide an inspection or audit of the Property prepared by a licensed hydrogeologist, licensed environmental engineer or qualified environmental consulting firm approved by Lender assessing the presence or absence of Hazardous Substances on, in or near the Property, and if Lender in its good faith judgment determines that reasonable cause exists for the performance of such environmental inspection or audit, then the cost and expense of such audit or inspection shall be paid by Borrower. Such inspections and audit may include soil borings and ground water monitoring.

Borrower may from time to time cause Owner to appoint a successor manager to manage the Properties, which successor manager and Management Agreement shall be approved in writing by Lender in Lender’s discretion and the applicable Rating Agencies (and Lender’s approval may be conditioned upon Borrower delivering a Rating Comfort Letter as to such successor manager and Management Agreement).

41
Lender’s consent, execute a consent and subordination of management agreement substantially in the form of the Consent and Subordination of Manager of even date herewith executed and delivered by Manager to Lender.
5.12.3 Cure by Lender.

7. INSURANCE; CASUALTY; AND CONDEMNATION
7.1 Insurance.
7.1.1 Coverage. Borrower, at its sole cost (or at Owner’s sole cost), for the mutual benefit of Borrower, Owner and Lender, shall cause Owner to obtain and maintain during the Term the following policies of insurance:
52
(a) Property insurance insuring against loss or damage customarily included under so called “all risk” or “special form” policies including fire, lightning, vandalism, and malicious mischief, boiler and machinery and, if required by Lender, flood and/or earthquake coverage and subject to subsection (j) below, coverage for damage or destruction caused by the acts of “Terrorists” (or such policies shall have no exclusion from coverage with respect thereto) and such other insurable hazards as, under good insurance practices, from time to time are insured against for other property and buildings similar to the premises in nature, use, location, height, and type of construction. Such insurance policy shall also insure for ordinance of law coverage, costs of demolition and increased cost of construction in amounts satisfactory to Lender. Each such insurance policy shall (i) be in an amount equal to 100% of the then replacement cost of the Improvements without deduction for physical depreciation and (ii) have deductibles no greater than $250,000 per occurrence and (iii) be on a replacement cost basis and contain either no coinsurance or, if coinsurance, an agreed amount endorsement, and shall cover, without limitation, all tenant improvements and betterments that Owner is required to insure on a replacement cost basis. Senior Lender shall be named Mortgagee and Loss Payee on a Standard Mortgagee Endorsement.
(b) Flood insurance if any part of the Property is located in an area now or hereafter designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a Zone “A” & “V” Special Hazard Area, or such other Special Hazard Area if Lender so requires in its sole discretion. Such policy shall (i) be in an amount equal to (A) 100% of the full replacement cost of the Improvements on the Property (without any deduction for depreciation) or (B) such other amount as agreed to by Lender and (ii) have a maximum permissible deductible of $3,000.
(c) Public liability insurance, including (i) ”Commercial General Liability Insurance”, (ii) ”Owned”, “Hired” and “Non Owned Auto Liability”; (iii) so called “dram shop” insurance or other liquor liability insurance required in connection with the sale of alcoholic beverages; and (iv) umbrella liability coverage for personal injury, bodily injury, death, accident and property damage, such insurance providing in combination no less than containing minimum limits per occurrence of $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 in the aggregate for any policy year with no deductible or self insured retention; together with at least $25,000,000 excess and/or umbrella liability insurance for any and all claims. The policies described in this subsection shall also include coverage for elevators, escalators, independent contractors, “Contractual Liability” (covering, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Borrower’s obligation to indemnify Lender as required under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), “Products” and “Completed Operations Liability” coverage.
(d) Rental loss and/or business interruption insurance (i) with Senior Lender being named as “Lender Loss Payee”, (ii) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the projected Rents from the Property for a period of not less than twenty-four (24) months; and (iii) containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of twelve (12) months from the date that the Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period. The amount of such insurance shall be increased from time to time during the Term as and when the estimated or actual Rents increase.
53
(e) Comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance covering all mechanical and electrical equipment against physical damage, rent loss and improvements loss and covering, without limitation, all tenant improvements and betterments that Owner is required to insure pursuant to the lease on a replacement cost basis and in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $2,000,000 and (ii) 100% of the full replacement cost of the Improvements on the Property (without any deduction for depreciation).
(f) Worker’s compensation and disability insurance with respect to any employees of Owner, as required by any Legal Requirement.
(g) During any period of repair or restoration, builder’s “all-risk” insurance on the so called completed value basis in an amount equal to not less than the full insurable value of the Property, against such risks (including fire and extended coverage and collapse of the Improvements to agreed limits) as Lender may request, in form and substance acceptable to Lender.
(h) Coverage to compensate for ordinance of law, the cost of demolition and the increased cost of construction in an amount satisfactory to Lender, provided that if the Property is a legal conforming use and Borrower is permitted as of right to rebuild the Property to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character, height, and density, ordinance of law coverage shall not be required hereunder.
(i) Such other insurance (including environmental liability insurance, earthquake insurance, mine subsidence insurance and windstorm insurance) as may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender in order to protect its interests.
(j) Notwithstanding anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary, Borrower shall be required to obtain and maintain coverage in its property insurance Policy (or by a separate Policy) against loss or damage by terrorist acts in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost” of the Property; provided that such coverage is available. In the event that such coverage with respect to terrorist acts is not included as part of the “all risk” property policy required by subsection (a) above, Borrower shall, nevertheless be required to obtain coverage for terrorism (as stand alone coverage) in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost” of the Property; provided that such coverage is available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any such stand-alone policy covering terrorist acts, Borrower shall not be required to pay any Insurance Premiums solely with respect to such terrorism coverage in excess of the Terrorism Premium Cap (hereinafter defined); provided that if the Insurance Premiums payable with respect to such terrorism coverage exceeds the Terrorism Premium Cap, Lender may, at its option (1) purchase such stand-alone terrorism Policy, with Borrower paying such portion of the Insurance Premiums with respect thereto equal to the Terrorism Premium Cap and the Lender paying such portion of the Insurance Premiums in excess of the Terrorism Premium Cap or (2) modify the deductible amounts, policy limits and other required policy terms to reduce the Insurance Premiums payable with respect to such stand-alone terrorism Policy to the Terrorism Premium Cap. As used herein, (i) “Terrorism Premium Cap” means an amount equal to 150% of the aggregate Insurance Premiums payable with respect to all the insurance coverage under Section 7.1.1(a) for the last policy year in which coverage for terrorism was included as part of the “all risk” property policy required by subsection (a) above, adjusted annually by a percentage
54
equal to the increase in the Consumer Price Index (hereinafter defined) and (ii) “Consumer Price Index” means the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor, New York Metropolitan Statistical Area, All Items (1982-84 = 100), or any successor index thereto, approximately adjusted, and in the event that the Consumer Price Index is converted to a different standard reference base or otherwise revised, the determination of adjustments provided for herein shall be made with the use of such conversion factor, formula or table for converting the Consumer Price Index as may be published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or, if said Bureau shall not publish the same, then with the use of such conversion factor, formula or table as may be published by Xxxxxxxx-Xxxx, Inc., or any other nationally recognized publisher of similar statistical information; and if the Consumer Price Index ceases to be published, and there is no successor thereto (i) such other index as Lender and Borrower shall agree upon in writing or (ii) if Lender and Borrower cannot agree on a substitute index, such other index, as reasonably selected by Lender. Borrower shall obtain the coverage required under this subsection (j) from a carrier which otherwise satisfies the rating criteria specified in Section 7.1.2 (a “Qualified Carrier”) or in the event that such coverage is not available from a Qualified Carrier, Borrower shall obtain such coverage from the highest rated insurance company providing such coverage.
7.1.2 Policies. All policies of insurance (the “Policies”) required pursuant to Section 7.1.1 shall (i) be issued by companies approved by Lender and licensed to do business in the State, with a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency) (provided, however for multi-layered policies, (A) if four (4) or less insurance companies issue the Policies, then at least 75% of the insurance coverage represented by the Policies must be provided by insurance companies with a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency), with no carrier below “BBB” (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency) or (B) if five (5) or more insurance companies issue the Policies, then at least 60% of the insurance coverage represented by the Policies must be provided by insurance companies with a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency), with no carrier below “BBB” (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency), and a rating of A:X or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports; (ii) name Lender and Senior Lender and its successors and/or assigns as their interest may appear as the mortgagee (in the case of property insurance), loss payee (in the case of business interruption/loss of rents coverage) and an additional insured (in the case of liability insurance); (iii) contain (in the case of property insurance and subject to the rights of Senior Lender) a Non-Contributory Standard Mortgagee Clause and a Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement, or their equivalents, naming Lender as the person to which all payments made by such insurance company shall be paid, subject to the rights of Senior Lender; (iv) contain a waiver of subrogation against Lender; (v) subject to the rights of Senior Lender, be assigned and certified copies thereof delivered to Lender; (vi) contain such provisions as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to protect its interest, including (A) endorsements providing that neither Borrower, Owner, Lender nor any other party shall be a co-insurer under the Policies, (B) that Lender shall receive at least 30 days’ prior written notice of any modification, reduction or cancellation of any of the Policies, (C) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken by Lender pursuant to any provision of the Loan Documents; and (viii) be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and approved by Lender as to amounts, form, risk coverage, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. Borrower shall cause Owner to pay the premiums for such Policies (the “Insurance Premiums”) as the same become due and payable
55
(which payments, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, may be made from funds available, if any, in the Tax and Insurance Subaccount held by the Senior Lender) and furnish to Lender evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies together with (unless such Insurance Premiums have been paid by Senior Lender pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Senior Loan Agreement) receipts for or other evidence of the payment of the Insurance Premiums reasonably satisfactory to Lender. If Borrower does not furnish such evidence and receipts at least 10 days prior to the expiration of any expiring Policy, then Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, procure such insurance and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender for the cost of such Insurance Premiums promptly on demand, with interest accruing at the Default Rate. Borrower shall deliver (or cause Owner to deliver) to Lender a certified copy of each Policy within 30 days after its effective date or, if certified copies are not then available, certified certificates evidencing such Policies (and Borrower shall thereafter deliver to Lender a certified copy of each Policy as soon as available). Within 30 days after request by Lender, Borrower shall obtain (or cause Owner to obtain) such increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and practices, and the like. The insurance coverages required under Section 7.1.1 above may be effected under a blanket policy or policies covering the Property and other property and assets not constituting a part of the security for the Loan; provided that Borrower shall provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the insurance premiums for the Property are separately allocated to the Property and that unless otherwise agreed to by Lender, the limit of such policy shall be a “true blanket limit” and not limited by a schedule of values for the properties covered thereby. Notwithstanding anything in Section 7.1.1 above or this Section 7.1.2 to the contrary, it is specifically understood and agreed that no other property may be added to any such blanket policies other than the Property and those other properties covered by such blanket policies as of the date hereof, unless the aggregate coverage afforded under the Policies is increased such that after giving effect to such addition of any other properties, the Policies continue to meet the requirements, and otherwise comply with the terms and provisions, of Section 7.1.1 above and this Section 7.1.2.
7.2 Casualty.
7.2.1 Notice; Restoration. If the Property is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice thereof to Lender. Following the occurrence of a Casualty, subject to the requirements of the Senior Loan Documents, Borrower, regardless of whether insurance proceeds are available (unless Lender has breached its obligation (if any) to make such insurance proceeds available pursuant to Section 7.4.1 hereof), shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild (or shall cause Owner to promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild) the Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction. Concurrently with the delivery to Senior Lender of any of the items required under Section 7.4.3 of the Senior Loan Agreement in connection with a Restoration by Owner, Borrower shall cause such items to be concurrently delivered to Lender for Lender’s prior approval.
7.2.2 Settlement of Proceeds. If a Casualty covered by any of the Policies (an “Insured Casualty”) occurs where the loss does not exceed $1,000,000, provided no Event of
56
Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may cause Owner to settle and adjust any claim without the prior consent of Lender; provided such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, and Borrower is hereby authorized to permit Owner to collect and receive the insurance proceeds (the “Proceeds”). In the event of an Insured Casualty where the loss equals or exceeds $1,000,000, Borrower may settle and adjust any claim with the prior consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case Lender may, in its sole discretion but subject to the rights of the Senior Lender, settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Borrower or Owner and agree with the insurer(s) on the amount to be paid on the loss, and the Proceeds shall, if required by Senior Lender, be due and payable solely to Senior Lender and held by Senior Lender in accordance with the terms of the Senior Loan Agreement. The expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of the Proceeds shall become part of the Debt and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender within ten (10) days of demand.
7.3 Condemnation.
7.3.1 Notice; Restoration. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding affecting the Property (a “Condemnation”) and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower, regardless of whether an Award is available (unless Lender has breached its obligation (if any) to make such Award available pursuant to Section 7.4.1 hereof), shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild (or cause Owner to promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild) the Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to the extent practicable to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character (and to have the same utility) as prior to such Condemnation.
7.3.2 Collection of Award. Subject to the rights of Senior Lender, if a Condemnation occurs where the award or payment in respect thereof (an “Award”) does not exceed $1,000,000, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with such Condemnation with the prior consent of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld, provided such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, and Borrower is hereby authorized to collect and receive such Award. In the event of a Condemnation where the Award is in excess of $1,000,000, Lender may collect, receive and retain such Award and make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with such Condemnation with the prior consent of Borrower (unless an Event of Default is continuing, in which case, Borrower’s prior consent shall not be required, and Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power on behalf of Owner to take such actions during the continuance of an Event of Default), not to be unreasonably withheld (which shall be deemed consented to if Borrower fails to respond to any request for consent therefor within ten (10) days of request).. Notwithstanding any Condemnation (or any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of such Condemnation), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for in the Loan Documents, and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender to expenses of collecting the Award and to discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided in
57
the Note. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of such Award, Lender shall have the right, subject to the rights of Senior Lender and whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall be recoverable or shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive all or a portion of the Award sufficient to pay the Debt. Borrower shall cause any Award that is payable to Borrower pursuant to Owner’s operating agreement to be paid directly to Lender, to be applied as provided in this Agreement, subject to the rights of the Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents. The expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of the Proceeds shall become part of the Debt and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender upon demand.
7.4 Application of Proceeds or Award. If, pursuant to the terms of the Senior Loan Documents, Owner is ever entitled to receive any portion of any Proceeds or Awards (i.e., such amounts are not required to be used for Restoration or to be applied to repayment of the Senior Loan), Borrower shall cause such portion of such Proceeds or Award to be deposited into the Subordinate Deposit Account and all such amounts shall then be applied to the payment of the Debt in accordance with Section 2.3.2.
8. DEFAULTS

(i) except as expressly permitted hereunder, the actual or threatened alteration, improvement, demolition or removal of all or any of portion of any of the Improvements without the prior written consent of Lender;
(j) an Event of Default as defined or described elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document occurs; or any other event shall occur or condition shall exist, if the effect of such event or condition is to accelerate or to permit Lender to accelerate the maturity of any portion of the Debt;
(k) an Event of Default as defined or described in the Senior Loan Documents occurs; or any other event shall occur or condition shall exist, if the effect of such event or condition is to accelerate or permit Senior Lender to accelerate the maturity of any portion of the Senior Loan;
(l) a default occurs under any term, covenant or provision set forth herein or in any other Loan Document which specifically contains a notice requirement or grace period and such notice has been given and such grace period has expired;
(m) any of the assumptions contained in any substantive non-consolidation opinion, delivered to Lender by Borrower’s counsel in connection with the Loan or otherwise hereunder, were not true and correct in all material respects as of the date of such opinion or thereafter became untrue or incorrect; provided that in either case, no Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred if such counsel reaffirms its substantive non-consolidation opinion; or
(n) a default shall be continuing under any of the other terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document not otherwise specified in this Section 8.1, for ten days after notice to Borrower (and Guarantor, if applicable) from Lender, in the case of any default which can be cured by the payment of a sum of money, or for 30 days after notice from Lender in the case of any other default; provided, however, that if such non-monetary default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period, and Borrower (or Guarantor, if applicable) shall have commenced to cure such default within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such 30-day period shall be extended for an additional period of time as is reasonably necessary for Borrower (or Guarantor, if applicable) in the exercise of due diligence to cure such default, such additional period not to exceed 60 days.
59
8.2 Remedies.
8.2.1 Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8.1) and at any time and from time to time thereafter, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to the Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Collateral; including declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, Spread Maintenance Premium, Prepayment Premium, and any other amounts owing by Borrower), without notice or demand; and upon any Event of Default described in paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8.1, the Debt (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, Spread Maintenance Premium, any Prepayment Premium, and any other amounts owing by Borrower) shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained in any Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
8.2.2 Remedies Cumulative. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under the Loan Documents or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared, or be automatically, due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing, (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Collateral, the Pledge and other Security Documents have been foreclosed, the Collateral has been sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full. To the extent permitted by applicable law, nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other portion, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all or less than all of the Collateral, in its discretion.
8.2.3 Severance. Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, pledge and security agreements and other security documents in such denominations and priorities of payment and liens as Lender shall determine in its discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably
60
appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such severance, Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof.
8.2.4 Delay. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default, or the granting of any indulgence or compromise by Lender shall impair any such remedy, right or power hereunder or 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 shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim in connection with the foreclosure of the Collateral to the extent necessary to foreclose on all or less than all of any portion of such Collateral.
8.2.5 Lender’s Right to Perform. If Borrower fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure shall continue for a period of five Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand and if not paid shall be added to the Debt (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Pledge and other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to Borrower of any such failure.
9. SENIOR LOAN
9.1 Compliance with Senior Loan Documents. Borrower shall (or shall cause Owner to): (a) pay all principal, interest and other sums required to be paid by Owner under and pursuant to the provisions of the Senior Loan Documents; (b) diligently perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Senior Loan Documents on the part of Owner to be performed and observed, unless such performance or observance shall be waived in writing by Senior Lender; (c) promptly notify Lender of the giving of any notice by Senior Lender to Owner or Borrower of any default by Owner in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Senior Loan Documents on the part of Owner to be performed or observed and deliver to Lender a true copy of each such notice; (d) deliver a true, correct and complete copy of all notices, demands, requests or material correspondence (including electronically transmitted items) given or received by Owner or Guarantor to or from the Senior Lender or its agent; and (e) not enter into or be bound by any Senior Loan Documents that are not approved by Lender. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall cause Owner to fund all reserves required to be funded pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents. In the event of a refinancing of the Senior Loan permitted by the terms of this Agreement, Borrower will cause all reserves on deposit with Senior Lender to be utilized by Owner to reduce the amount due and payable to the Senior Lender or alternatively shall be remitted to Lender as a mandatory prepayment of the Loan.
61
9.2 Senior Loan Defaults.
(a) Without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, if there shall occur any default under the Senior Loan Documents or if Owner fails to extend its interest rate protection agreement pursuant to Section 2.8 of the Senior Loan Agreement, Borrower hereby expressly agrees that Lender shall have the immediate right, without prior notice to Borrower, but shall be under no obligation: (i) to pay all or any part of the Senior Loan and any other sums that are then due and payable, and to perform any act or take any action on behalf of Borrower and/or Owner as may be appropriate, to cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Senior Loan Documents on the part of Owner to be performed or observed thereunder to be promptly performed or observed; and (ii) to pay any other amounts and take any other action as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall deem advisable to protect or preserve the rights and interests of Lender in the Loan and/or the Collateral. All sums so paid and the costs and expenses incurred by Lender in exercising rights under this Section 9.2 (including attorneys’ fees) (i) shall constitute additional advances of the Loan to Borrower, (ii) shall increase the then unpaid Principal, (iii) shall bear interest at the Default Rate for the period from the date that such costs or expenses were incurred to the date of payment to Lender, (iv) shall constitute a portion of the Debt, and (v) shall be secured by the Pledge.
(b) Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not suit is brought, and settlement costs) and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Lender as a result of the foregoing actions. Lender shall have no obligation to Borrower, Sole Member, Owner or any other party to make any such payment or performance. Borrower shall not impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, and shall not permit Owner to impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, any effort or action on the part of Lender to cure any default or asserted default under the Senior Loan, or to otherwise protect or preserve Lender’s interests in the Loan and the Collateral following a default or asserted default under the Senior Loan.
(c) Any default or breach by Owner under the Senior Loan Documents which is not cured prior to the expiration of any applicable grace, notice or cure period afforded to Owner under the Senior Loan Documents shall constitute an Event of Default, without regard to any subsequent payment or performance of any such obligations by Lender. Borrower hereby grants Lender and any person designated by Lender the right to enter upon the Property at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of any default, or the assertion by Senior Lender that a default has occurred under the Senior Loan Documents, for the purpose of taking any such action or to appear in, defend or bring any action or proceeding to protect Borrower’s, Owner’s and/or Lender’s interest. Lender may take such action as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to carry out the intents and purposes of this subsection (including communicating with Senior Lender with respect to any Senior Loan defaults), without prior notice to, or consent from, Borrower. Lender shall have no obligation to complete any cure or attempted cure undertaken or commenced by Lender.
62
(d) If Lender shall receive a copy of any notice of default under the Senior Loan Documents sent by Senior Lender to Owner, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in good faith, in reliance thereon. As a material inducement to Lender’s making the Loan, Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and waives all claims against Lender arising out of Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies provided in this Section 9.2, except for Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the event that Lender makes any payment in respect of the Senior Loan, Lender shall be subrogated to all of the rights of Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents against the Property, in addition to all other rights it may have under the Loan Documents.
9.3 Senior Loan Estoppels. Borrower shall (or shall cause Owner to), from time to time, use reasonable efforts to obtain from Senior Lender such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by Owner with the terms of the Senior Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender. In the event or to the extent that Senior Lender is not legally obligated to deliver such certificates of estoppel and is unwilling to deliver the same, or is legally obligated to deliver such certificates of estoppel but breaches such obligation, then Borrower shall not be in breach of this provision so long as Borrower furnishes to Lender an estoppel executed by Borrower and Owner expressly representing to Lender the information requested by Lender regarding compliance by Owner with the terms of the Senior Loan Documents. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not suit is brought and settlement costs) and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender based in whole or in part upon any fact, event, condition, or circumstances relating to the Senior Loan which was misrepresented in, or which warrants disclosure and was omitted from such estoppel executed by Borrower and Owner.
9.4 No Amendments to Senior Loan Documents. Without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not cause or permit Owner to (i) enter into any amendment or modification of any of the Senior Loan Documents, (ii) grant to Senior Lender any consent or waiver or (iii) exercise any remedy available to Owner under the Senior Loan Documents or any right or election under the Senior Loan Documents. Borrower shall cause Owner to provide Lender with a copy of any amendment or modification to the Senior Loan Documents within five days after the execution thereof.
9.5 Acquisition of the Senior Loan. Neither Borrower, Sole Member or Owner or any Affiliate of any of them shall acquire or agree to acquire the Senior Loan, or any portion thereof or any interest therein, or any direct or indirect ownership interest in the holder of the Senior Loan, via purchase, transfer, exchange or otherwise, and any breach or attempted breach of this provision shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder. If, solely by operation of applicable subrogation law, Borrower, Sole Member or Owner or any Affiliate of any of them shall have failed to comply with the foregoing, then Borrower: (i) shall immediately notify Lender of such failure; (ii) shall cause any and all such prohibited parties acquiring any interest in the Senior Loan Documents: (A) not to enforce the Senior Loan Documents; and (B) upon the request of Lender, to the extent any of such prohibited parties has or have the power or authority to do so, to promptly: (1) cancel the promissory note evidencing the Senior Loan, (2) reconvey and
63
release the lien securing the Senior Loan and any other collateral under the Senior Loan Documents, and (3) discontinue and terminate any enforcement proceeding(s) under the Senior Loan Documents.
9.6 Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure. Without the express prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not, and Borrower shall not cause, suffer or permit Owner to, enter into any deed-in-lieu or consensual foreclosure with or for the benefit of Senior Lender or any of its affiliates. Without the express prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not, and Borrower shall not cause, suffer or permit Owner to, enter into any consensual sale or other transaction in connection with the Senior Loan which could diminish, modify, terminate, impair or otherwise adversely affect the interests of Lender or Borrower, the Collateral or any portion thereof or any interest therein or of Owner in the Property or portion thereof or any interest therein.
9.7 Refinancing or Prepayment of the Senior Loan. Except as may be required under the Senior Loan Documents, neither Borrower, nor Sole Member nor Owner shall make any partial or full prepayments of amounts owing under the Senior Loan or refinance the Senior Loan without the prior written consent of Lender, unless such refinancing results in the concurrent payment in full of the Debt.
9.8 Intercreditor Agreement. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any intercreditor agreement entered into between Lender and Senior Lender (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) will be solely for the benefit of Lender and Senior Lender, and that Borrower and Owner shall not be intended third-party beneficiaries of any of the provisions therein, shall have no rights thereunder and shall not be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein. Lender and Senior Lender shall have no obligation to disclose to Borrower the contents of the intercreditor agreement. Borrower’s obligations hereunder are and will be independent of such intercreditor agreement and shall remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof.
10. SPECIAL PROVISIONS
10.1 Sale of Note and Secondary Market Transaction.
10.1.1 General; Borrower Cooperation. Lender shall have the right at any time and from time to time (i) to sell or otherwise transfer the Loan or any portion thereof or the Loan Documents or any interest therein to one or more investors, (ii) to sell participation interests in the Loan to one or more investors or (iii) to securitize the Loan or any portion thereof in a single asset securitization or a pooled loan securitization of rated single or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in the Note and the Security Documents (each such sale, assignment, participation and/or securitization is referred to herein as a “Secondary Market Transaction”). In connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, Borrower shall, at no out-of-pocket cost to Borrower (other than the fees and expenses of Borrower’s attorneys, accountants and consultants), use all reasonable efforts and cooperate fully and in good faith with Lender and otherwise assist Lender in satisfying the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Secondary Market Transactions, including: (a) to (i) provide such financial and other information with respect to Borrower, the Property, the Collateral, Owner, Guarantor and their Affiliates, Manager and any tenants of the Property,
64
(ii) provide business plans and budgets relating to the Property and (iii) perform or permit or cause to be performed or permitted such site inspection, appraisals, surveys, market studies, environmental reviews and reports, engineering reports and other due diligence investigations of the Property, as may be reasonably requested from time to time by Lender, prospective investors or the Rating Agencies or as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction or Exchange Act requirements (the items provided to Lender pursuant to this paragraph (a) being called the “Provided Information”), together, if customary, with appropriate verification of and/or consents to the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies; (b) at Borrower’s expense, cause counsel to render updates to opinions as to non-consolidation and any other opinions delivered in connection with the Loan with respect to the Property, Borrower, Guarantor and their Affiliates, which updates to opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies; (c) make such representations and warranties as of the closing date of any Secondary Market Transaction with respect to the Collateral, the Property, Borrower, Owner, Guarantor and the Loan Documents as are customarily provided in such transactions and as may be reasonably requested by Lender, prospective investors or the Rating Agencies and consistent with the facts covered by such representations and warranties as they exist on the date thereof, including the representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents; (d) provide current certificates of good standing and qualification with respect to Borrower, Sole Member and Owner from appropriate Governmental Authorities; and (e) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and Borrower’s organizational documents, as may be requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies or otherwise to effect a Secondary Market Transaction, provided that nothing contained in this subsection (e) shall result in any economic change in the transaction or increase Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents. Borrower’s cooperation obligations set forth herein shall continue until the Loan has been paid in full.
10.1.2 Use of Information. Borrower understands that all or any portion of the Provided Information and the Required Records may be included in disclosure documents in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction, including a prospectus or private placement memorandum (each, a “Disclosure Document”) and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers or other parties relating to the Secondary Market Transaction. If the Disclosure Document is required to be revised, Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in updating the Provided Information or Required Records for inclusion or summary in the Disclosure Document or for other use reasonably required in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction by providing all current information pertaining to Borrower, Owner, Guarantor, Manager, the Collateral and the Property necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects with respect to such matters.
10.1.3 Borrower’s Obligations Regarding Disclosure Documents. In connection with a Disclosure Document, Borrower shall: (a) if requested by Lender, certify in writing that Borrower has carefully examined those portions of such Disclosure Document, pertaining to Borrower, Owner, Guarantor, the Collateral, the Property, Manager and the Loan, and that such portions do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances
65
under which they were made, not misleading; and (b) indemnify (in a separate instrument of indemnity, if so requested by Lender) (i) any underwriter, syndicate member or placement agent (collectively, the “Underwriters”) retained by Lender or its issuing company affiliate (the “Issuer”) in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction, (ii) Lender and (iii) the Issuer that is named in the Disclosure Document or registration statement relating to a Secondary Market Transaction (the “Registration Statement”), and each of the Issuer’s directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each person or entity who controls the Issuer or the Lender within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 30 of the Exchange Act (collectively within (iii), the “GCM Group”), and each of its directors and each person who controls each of the Underwriters, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (the “Liabilities”) to which Lender, the GCM Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject (including reimbursing all of them for any legal or other expenses actually incurred in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities) insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained in any of the Provided Information or in any of the applicable portions of such sections of the Disclosure Document applicable to Borrower, Manager, Owner, Guarantor, the Collateral, the Property or the Loan, or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in the applicable portions of such sections or necessary in order to make the statements in the applicable portions of such sections in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to indemnify Lender for any Liabilities relating to untrue statements or omissions which Borrower identified to Lender in writing at the time of Borrower’s examination of such Disclosure Document.
10.1.4 Borrower Indemnity Regarding Filings. In connection with filings under the Exchange Act, Borrower shall (i) indemnify Lender, the GCM Group and the Underwriter Group for any Liabilities to which Lender, the GCM Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the omission to state in the Provided Information a material fact required to be stated in the Provided Information in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading and (ii) reimburse Lender, the GCM Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses actually incurred by Lender, GCM Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.
10.1.5 Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 10.1.3 or 10.1.4 of notice of the commencement of any action for which a claim for indemnification is to be made against Borrower, such indemnified party shall notify Borrower in writing of such commencement, but the omission to so notify Borrower will not relieve Borrower from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to Borrower. If any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies Borrower of the commencement thereof, Borrower will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice of commencement, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party in its discretion. After notice from Borrower to such indemnified party
66
under this Section 10.1.5, Borrower shall not be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both Borrower and an indemnified party, and any indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to Borrower, then the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Borrower shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless there are legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified party.
10.1.6 Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 10.1.3 or 10.1.4 is for any reason held to be unenforceable by an indemnified party in respect of any Liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 10.1.3 or 10.1.4, Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) the GCM Group’s and Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it may not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.
10.1.7 Rating Surveillance. Lender will retain the Rating Agencies to provide rating surveillance services on Securities. The expenses of such surveillance will be paid for by Lender.
10.1.8 Severance of Loan. Lender shall have the right, at no out-of-pocket cost to Borrower (other than the fees and expenses of Borrower’s attorneys, accountants and consultants), at any time (whether prior to, in connection with, or after any Secondary Market Transaction), with respect to all or any portion of the Loan, to modify, split and/or sever all or any portion of the Loan as hereinafter provided. Without limiting the foregoing, Lender may (i) cause the Note and the Pledge to be split into a first and second loan, (ii) create one or more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure) or (iii) create multiple components of the Note or Notes (and allocate or reallocate the principal balance of the Loan among such components), in each such case, in whatever proportion and whatever priority Lender determines; provided, however, in each such instance the outstanding principal balance of all the Notes evidencing the Loan (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all such Notes (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification. If requested by Lender, Borrower (and
67
Borrower’s constituent members, if applicable, and Guarantor) shall execute within five (5) Business Days after such request, such documentation as Lender may reasonably request to evidence and/or effectuate any such modification or severance, provided that no such severance shall result in any economic change in the transaction or increase Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents.
11. MISCELLANEOUS
11.1 Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest and rights under the Loan Documents, or in all or any portion of the Collateral; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Collateral, and Lender shall not xxx for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with any Loan Document. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (i) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any Loan Document; (ii) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit any of the Security Documents; (iii) affect the validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (iv) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (v) constitute a prohibition against Lender to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to fully realize the security granted by the Pledge or the other Security Documents or to exercise its remedies against all or any portion of the Collateral; or (vi) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following (all such liability and obligation of Borrower for any or all of the following being referred to herein as “Borrower’s Recourse Liabilities”):
(a) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower, Sole Member, Owner or Guarantor in connection with obtaining the Loan;
(b) physical waste of the Property or any portion thereof, or after an Event of Default the removal or disposal of any portion of the Property;
(c) any Proceeds paid by reason of any Insured Casualty or any Award received in connection with a Condemnation or other sums or payments attributable to the Property not applied in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents and the Senior Loan Documents (except to the extent that Borrower or Owner did not have the legal right, because of a bankruptcy, receivership or similar judicial proceeding, to direct disbursement of such sums or payments);
68
(d) all Rents of the Property received or collected by or on behalf of Borrower or Owner after an Event of Default and not applied to payment of Principal and interest due under the Note, and to the payment of actual and reasonable operating expenses of the Property, as they become due or payable (except to the extent that such application of such funds is prevented by bankruptcy, receivership, or similar judicial proceeding in which Borrower or Owner is legally prevented from directing the disbursement of such sums);
(e) misappropriation (including failure to turn over to Lender on demand following an Event of Default) of tenant security deposits and rents collected in advance, or of funds held by Borrower or Owner for the benefit of another party;
(f) the failure by Borrower or Owner to pay Taxes;
(g) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification in any Loan Document concerning Environmental Laws or Hazardous Substances, including Sections 4.21 and 5.8, and clauses (viii) through (xi) of Section 5.30;
(h) the failure by Borrower to cause Owner to deposit with Senior Lender all Rents, as required under Article 3 of the Senior Loan Agreement;
(i) the failure by Borrower to cause Owner to use any funds released by Senior Lender from any subaccount provided for in the Senior Loan Agreement for Approved CapEx/FF&E Expenses, Approved Operating Expenses, as applicable, or for any other intended use therefor, as more particularly provided for in the Senior Loan Agreement or
(j) any cost or expense incurred by Lender in connection with the enforcement of its rights and remedies hereunder or any other Loan Document.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) Lender’s agreement not to pursue personal liability of Borrower as set forth above SHALL BECOME NULL AND VOID and shall be of no further force and effect, and the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower in the event that one or more of the following occurs (each, a “Springing Recourse Event”):

11.2 Brokers and Financial Advisors. (a) Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the Loan. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, whether incurred in connection with enforcing this indemnity or defending claims of third parties) of any kind in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person (including any broker) that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.

Borrower shall pay any reasonable fees and expenses of the Servicer (i) in connection with a release of the Collateral (or any portion thereof), (ii) from and after a transfer of the Loan to any “master servicer” or “special servicer” for any reason, including without limitation, as a result of a decline in the occupancy level of the Property, (iii) in connection with an assumption or modification of the Loan, (iv) in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents or (v) in connection with any other action or approval taken by Servicer hereunder on behalf of Lender.

All Borrower’s covenants and agreements in this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the respective legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.
11.5 Lender’s Discretion. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or consent or
70
withhold consent, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender or is to be in Lender’s discretion, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove, to consent or withhold consent, or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, or acceptable or unacceptable or in Lender’s discretion shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion of Lender and shall be final and conclusive.

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. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under any other Loan Document, 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 any Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under the Loan Documents, or to declare an Event of Default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

11.9 Headings/Exhibits. The Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose. The Exhibits attached hereto, are hereby incorporated by reference as a part of the Agreement with the same force and effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
11.10 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
11.11 Preferences. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the Debt. To the extent Borrower makes a payment to
72
Lender, or Lender receives proceeds of any collateral, which is in whole or part 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 Debt or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender. This provision shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Debt.
11.12 Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or any other Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which no Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
11.13 Remedies of Borrower. If a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or any of its agents, including Servicer, has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under any Loan Document, Lender or any such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents, including Servicer, shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be to commence an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Borrower specifically waives any claim against Lender and its agents, including Servicer, with respect to actions taken by Lender or its agents on Borrower’s behalf.
11.14 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, understandings and negotiations among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
11.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents, including Servicer, or otherwise offset any obligations to make payments required under the Loan Documents. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to the Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which Borrower may otherwise have (including with respect to any Future Funding Obligation or any default or dispute relating thereto) against any assignor of such documents, and no such offset, counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents, and any such right to interpose or assert any such offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
11.16 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public, which refers to the Loan
73
Documents, the Loan, Lender or any member of the GCM Group, a Loan purchaser, the Servicer or the trustee in a Secondary Market Transaction, shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender, provided Borrower shall not be restricted from the same to the extent a disclosure or announcement is required by law. Lender shall have the right to issue any of the foregoing without Borrower’s approval.
11.17 No Usury. Borrower and Lender intend at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under state law) and that this Section 11.17 shall control every other agreement in the Loan Documents. If the applicable law (state or federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Note or any other Loan Document, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Debt, or if Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Loan or any prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited against the unpaid Principal and all other Debt (or, if the Debt has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of 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 Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.
11.18 Conflict; Construction of Documents. 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 each is represented by separate counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of the Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party that drafted them.
11.19 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than the Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.
11.20 Spread Maintenance Premium/Prepayment Premium. Borrower acknowledges that (a) Lender is making the Loan in consideration of the receipt by Lender of all interest and other benefits intended to be conferred by the Loan Documents and (b) if payments of Principal are made to Lender prior to the Stated Maturity Date, for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary, as a result of Lender’s acceleration of the Loan after an Event of Default (or as a result of the application by Lender of any amounts in any Cash Management Account are
74
applied to Principal by reason of an Event of Default), by operation of law or otherwise, Lender will not receive all such interest and other benefits and may, in addition, incur costs. For these reasons, and to induce Lender to make the Loan, Borrower agrees that, except as expressly provided in Articles 2 and 7, all such prepayments, if any, whether voluntary or involuntary, will be accompanied by the Spread Maintenance Premium or the applicable Prepayment Premium, as applicable. Such Spread Maintenance Premium or Prepayment Premium, as applicable, 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 Lender 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 10.20, as well as the other provisions of the Loan Documents; (C) the making of the Loan by Lender at the Interest Rate and other terms set forth in the Loan Documents are sufficient consideration for Borrower’s obligation to pay a Spread Maintenance Premium or Prepayment Premium, as applicable (if required); and (D) Lender 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 Spread Maintenance Premium or Prepayment Premium, as applicable and other charges specified herein were independently negotiated and bargained for, and constitute a specific material part of the consideration given by Borrower to Lender for the making of the Loan except as expressly permitted hereunder.
11.21 Assignment. The Loan, the Note, the Loan Documents and/or Lender’s rights, title, obligations and interests therein may be assigned by Lender and any of its successors and assigns to any Person at any time in its discretion, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law (pursuant to a merger or other successor in interest) or otherwise. Upon such assignment, all references to Lender in this Loan Agreement and in any Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such assignee or successor in interest and such assignee or successor in interest shall thereafter stand in the place of Lender. Borrower may not assign its rights, title, interests or obligations under this Loan Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents. Lender shall provide Borrower with a notice of any assignment pursuant to this Section 11.21, provided the failure to do so shall not subject Lender to any liability to Borrower or any other Person and shall not otherwise affect Borrower’s obligations or liabilities under the Loan Documents, or give rise to any claim defense or right of offset with respect to the Loan.
11.22 Proofs of Claim In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting Borrower, Owner, Sole Member or Guarantor, or any of their respective creditors or property, Lender, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lender allowed in such proceedings for the entire Debt at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount which may become due and payable by Borrower hereunder after such date.
11.23 Waiver of Stay. Borrower agrees (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury or other law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which would prohibit or forgive Borrower from paying all or any portion of the Debt or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Agreement; and
75
Borrower (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the holders, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
11.24 Certain Additional Rights of Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may be contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:
(i) the right to routinely consult with Borrower’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower, provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances. Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable times;
(ii) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and records of Borrower at any time upon reasonable notice;
(iii) the right, in accordance with Article 6 hereof, to receive monthly, quarterly and year-end financial reports, including balance sheets, statements of income, shareholder’s equity and cash flow, a management report and schedules of outstanding indebtedness;
(iv) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to restrict financing to be obtained with respect to the Collateral so long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding;
(v) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including any similar right), to restrict, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower’s and Owner’s payments of management, consulting, director or similar fees to Affiliates of Borrower or Owner;
(vi) the right, in accordance with Article 6 hereof (including any similar right), to approve any operating budget and/or capital budget of Borrower or Owner;
(vii) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to approve any acquisition by Borrower or Owner of any other significant property (other than personal property required for the day to day operation of the Property); and
(viii) the right, in accordance with the terms of Lender under this Agreement, to restrict the transfer of interests in Borrower held by its members, and the right to restrict the transfer of interests in such member, except for any transfer that is a Permitted Transfer.
The rights described above may be exercised directly or indirectly by any Person who has the authority to act of behalf of Lender.
76
11.25 Future Funding Obligations Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including the provisions of Sections 10.1.8, 11.19 and 11.21 hereof), the parties acknowledge that the obligations of the Lender hereunder to fund the Additional Advances (the “Future Funding Obligations”) will be solely the obligation of Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc. and, in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction, will not be transferred or assigned to any subsequent holder of the Note (the “Holder”), including the Servicer and any trust or trustee or substituted or successor trustee established in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction. Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc. will have a participation interest in the Note to the extent of any funds advanced pursuant to the Future Funding Obligations. Any funds advanced pursuant to a Future Funding Obligation shall be owing to Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc., but in the event that Borrower has insufficient funds to pay both the Holder and Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc., the Holder shall have a prior right to such payment and a prior lien on the Collateral.
11.26 Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Loan Agreement and by law, Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
11.27 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
