LOAN TERMS
Section 2.1 The Commitments, Loans and Notes.
(1) Loans. Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make a term loan to Borrower in Dollars in a principal amount up to but not exceeding the amount of the Commitment of such Lender. The Loans shall be funded in a single advance and repaid in accordance with this Agreement. The initial advance of the Loans, in the aggregate amount of up to $100,000,000, shall be made in accordance with the Sources and Uses Budget and funded into escrow to be disbursed to the Borrower’s Operating Account to be used by Borrower upon Borrower’s satisfaction of the conditions described in Schedule 2.1.
(3) Several Obligations. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Loan, but neither any Lender nor Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan to be made by such other Lender.
(4) Notes.
(a) Loan Notes. The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by a single promissory note of Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit C, payable to such Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Commitment as originally in effect and otherwise duly completed.
(b) Endorsements on Notes. The date, amount, Type, interest rate and duration of Interest Period (if applicable) of each Loan made by each Lender to Borrower, and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender on its books and, prior to any transfer of the Note held by it, endorsed by such Lender on the schedule attached to such Note or any continuation thereof; provided that the failure of such Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of Borrower to make a payment when due of any amount owing hereunder or under such Note in respect of such Loans.
(c) Substitution, Exchange and Subdivision of Notes. No Lender shall be entitled to have its Notes substituted or exchanged for any reason, or subdivided for promissory notes of lesser denominations, except in connection with a permitted assignment of all or any portion of such Lender’s Commitment, Loans and Note pursuant to Sections 12.10 and 12.24 (and, if requested by any Lender, Borrower agrees to so substitute or exchange any Notes and enter into note splitter agreements in connection therewith).
(d) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Notes. In the event of the loss, theft or destruction of any Note, upon Borrower’s receipt of a reasonably satisfactory indemnification agreement executed in favor of Borrower by the holder of such Note, or in the event of the mutilation of any Note, upon the surrender of such mutilated Note by the holder thereof to Borrower, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such holder a new replacement Note in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.
(e) Funding of Loans. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. Administrative Agent will promptly make such Loans available to Borrower by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account in the United States designated by Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request.
(1) Subject to Sections 2.8(4), 2.9(2) and 2.9(3), Borrower shall have the right to Convert Loans of one Type into Loans of another Type or Continue Loans of one Type as Loans of the same Type, at any time or from time to time; provided that: (a) Borrower shall give Administrative Agent notice of each such Conversion or Continuation as provided in Section 2.8(5); (b) LIBOR-based Loans may be Converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loans unless Borrower complies with the terms of Section 2.9(5) and (c) subject to Sections 2.9(1) and 2.9(3), any Conversion or Continuation of Loans shall be pro rata among the Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting the rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and the Lenders under Article 11, for so long as any Event of Default exists, the right of Borrower to Convert any Loan into a LIBOR-based Loan, or to Continue any Loan as a LIBOR-based Loan, shall be suspended, in which event all Loans shall be Converted (on the last day(s) of the respective Interest Periods therefor) or Continued, as the case may be, as Base Rate Loans. In connection with any such Conversion, a Lender may (at its sole and absolute discretion) transfer a Loan from one Applicable Lending Office to another.
(2) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time that a Hedge Agreement is in effect, Borrower shall have the right to choose only an Interest Period which is the same as the Interest Rate Hedge Period.
Section 2.3 Interest Rate; Late Charge.
(1) Borrower hereby promises to pay to Administrative Agent for account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan (which may be Base Rate Loans and/or LIBOR-based Loans) made by such Lender for the period from and including the date of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:
(a) during such periods as such Loan is an Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and
(b) during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR-based Loan, for each Interest Period relating thereto, the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Loan for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.
(2) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable (i) monthly in arrears on each Payment Date and (ii) in the case of any Loan, upon the payment or prepayment thereof or the Conversion of such Loan to a Loan of another Type (but only on the principal amount so paid, prepaid or Converted), except that interest payable at the Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand.
(3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, after the Maturity Date and during any period when an Event of Default exists, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender interest at the applicable Default Rate on
(4) Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein, Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders to which such interest is payable and to Borrower, but the failure of Administrative Agent to provide such notice shall not affect Borrower’s obligation for the payment of interest on the Loans.
(5) In addition to any sums due under this Section 2.3, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders a late payment premium in the amount of five percent (5.00%) of any payments of principal, interest or other sums under the Loans (other than the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date) that is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due, which late payment premium shall be due with any such late payment or upon demand by Administrative Agent. Such late payment charge represents the reasonable estimate of Borrower and the Lenders of a fair average compensation for the loss that may be sustained by the Lenders due to the failure of Borrower to make timely payments. Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to the right of Administrative Agent and the Lenders to collect any other amounts provided herein or in the other Loan Documents to be paid or to exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.

(5) Mandatory Prepayments. If a Casualty or Condemnation shall occur with respect to the Project, Borrower, upon Borrower’s or Administrative Agent’s receipt of the applicable insurance proceeds or condemnation award, shall prepay the Loan, if required by the provisions of Article 3, without any applicable prepayment premium (but subject to the provisions of Sections 2.4(6) and 2.9(5)). Nothing in this Section 2.4(5) shall be deemed to limit any obligation of Borrower under the Mortgage or any other Security Document, including any obligation to remit to a collateral or similar account maintained by Administrative Agent pursuant to the Mortgage or any of the other Security Documents the proceeds of insurance, condemnation award or other compensation received in respect of any Casualty or Condemnation.
(6) Interest and Other Charges on Prepayment.

Each Lender shall notify Borrower in writing of any event occurring after the date hereof entitling such Lender to compensation under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.9(1) as promptly as practicable, but in any event within sixty (60) days, after such Lender obtains actual knowledge thereof; provided that (i) if any Lender fails to give such notice within sixty (60) days after it obtains actual knowledge of such an event and that such event entitles Lender to compensation under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.9(1), such Lender shall, with respect to compensation payable pursuant to this Section 2.9(1) in respect of any costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment under this Section 2.9(1) for costs incurred from and after the date forty-five (45) days prior to the date that such Lender does give such notice and (ii) each Lender will designate a different Applicable Lending Office for the Loans of such Lender affected by such event if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole opinion of such Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate an Applicable Lending Office located in the United States of America. Each Lender will furnish to Borrower a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request by such Lender for compensation under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.9(1). Determinations and allocations by any Lender for purposes of this Section 2.9(1) of the effect of any Regulatory Change pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.9(1), or of the effect of capital maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.9(1), on its costs or rate of return of maintaining Loans or its obligation to make Loans, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the amounts required to compensate such Lender under this Section 2.9(1), shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations and allocations are made on a reasonable basis.
(2) Limitation on Types of Loans. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period for any LIBOR-based Loan:
(a) Administrative Agent determines, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR Rate are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant
(b) the Majority Lenders determine, which determination shall be conclusive, and notify Administrative Agent that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR Rate upon the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR-based Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined are not likely adequately to cover the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining LIBOR-based Loans for such Interest Period;
then Administrative Agent shall give Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to make additional LIBOR-based Loans, to Continue LIBOR-based Loans or to Convert Loans of any other Type into LIBOR-based Loans, and Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding LIBOR-based Loans, either prepay such Loans or such Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans.
(3) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR-based Loans hereunder (and, in the sole opinion of such Lender, the designation of a different Applicable Lending Office would either not avoid such unlawfulness or would be disadvantageous to such Lender), then such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower thereof (with a copy to Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR-based Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR-based Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 2.9(4) shall be applicable).
(4) Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR-based Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR-based Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 2.9(1) or 2.9(3), such Lender’s Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion resulting from a circumstance described in Section 2.9(3), on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 2.9(1) or 2.9(3) that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:
(a) to the extent that such Lender’s Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
(b) all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as LIBOR-based Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR-based Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.
(5) Compensation. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense that such Lender determines is attributable to:
(a) any payment, prepayment or Conversion of a LIBOR-based Loan made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights referred to in Article 11) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or
(b) any failure by Borrower for any reason to borrow a LIBOR-based Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing specified in the relevant notice of borrowing given to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, such compensation shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount so paid, prepaid, Converted or not borrowed for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, Conversion or failure to borrow to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Loan that would have commenced on the date specified for such borrowing) at the applicable rate of interest for such Loan provided for herein over (ii) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on such principal amount at a rate per annum equal to the interest component of the amount such Lender would have bid in the London interbank market for Dollar deposits of leading banks in amounts comparable to such principal amount and with maturities comparable to such period (as reasonably determined by such Lender), or if such Lender shall cease to make such bids, the equivalent rate, as reasonably determined by such Lender, based upon request the principal London office of any four (4) major reference banks in the London interbank market selected by such Lender to provide such reference bank’s offered quotation to prime banks in the London interbank market for deposits in United States dollars for a one (1) month period as of 11:00 a.m., New York time, on such date in a principal amount of not less than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) that is representative for a single transaction in the relevant market at such time, or if at least two such offered quotations are so provided, LIBOR Rate will be the arithmetic mean of such quotation; and if fewer than two (2) such quotations are so provided, such Lender will request any three (3) major banks in New York City selected by such Lender to provide such bank's rate for loans in United States dollars
(6) U.S. Taxes.
(a) Gross-up for Deduction or Withholding of U.S. Taxes. Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender that is not a U.S. Person such additional amounts as are necessary in order that the net payment of any amount due to such non-U.S. Person hereunder after deduction for or withholding in respect of any U.S. Taxes imposed with respect to such payment (or in lieu thereof, payment of such U.S. Taxes by such non-U.S. Person), will not be less than the amount stated herein to be then due and payable, provided that the foregoing obligation to pay such additional amounts shall not apply:
| (i) | to any payment to any Lender hereunder unless such Lender is, on the date hereof (or on the date it becomes a Lender hereunder as provided in Section 12.24(2)) and on the date of any change in the Applicable Lending Office of such Lender, either entitled to submit a Form W-8BEN (relating to such Lender and entitling it to a complete exemption from withholding on all interest to be received by it hereunder in respect of the Loans) or Form W-8ECI (relating to all interest to be received by such Lender hereunder in respect of the Loans), or |
| (ii) | to any U.S. Taxes imposed solely by reason of the failure by such non-U.S. Person to comply with applicable certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connections with the United States of America of such non-U.S. Person if such compliance is required by statute or regulation of the United States of America as a precondition to relief or exemption from such U.S. Taxes. |
For the purposes hereof, (A) “U.S. Person” means a citizen, national or resident of the United States of America, a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under any laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, or any estate or trust that is subject to Federal income taxation regardless of the source of its income, (B) “U.S. Taxes” means any present or future tax, assessment or other charge or levy imposed by or on behalf of the United States of America or any taxing authority thereof or therein, (C) “Form W-8BEN” means Form W-8BEN of the Department of the Treasury of the United States of America and (D) “Form W-8ECI” means Form W-8ECI of the Department of the Treasury of the United States of America. Each of the Forms referred to in the foregoing clauses (C) and (D) shall include such successor and related forms as may from time to time be adopted by the relevant taxing authorities of the United States of America to document a claim to which
(b) Evidence of Deduction, Etc. Within thirty (30) days after paying any amount to Administrative Agent or any Lender from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty (30) days after it is required by law to remit such deduction or withholding to any relevant taxing or other authority, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent for delivery to such non-U.S. Person evidence satisfactory to such Person of such deduction, withholding or payment (as the case may be).
(7) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 2.9(1) or 2.9(6) (any such Lender requesting such compensation being herein called a “Requesting Lender”), Borrower, upon three (3) Business Days notice, may require that such Requesting Lender transfer all of its right, title and interest under this Agreement and such Requesting Lender’s Note to any bank or other financial institution (a “Proposed Lender”) identified by Borrower that is satisfactory to Administrative Agent (i) if such Proposed Lender agrees to assume all of the obligations of such Requesting Lender hereunder, and to purchase all of such Requesting Lender’s Loans hereunder for consideration equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Requesting Lender’s Loans, together with interest thereon to the date of such purchase (to the extent not paid by Borrower), and satisfactory arrangements are made for payment to such Requesting Lender of all other amounts accrued and payable hereunder to such Requesting Lender as of the date of such transfer (including any fees accrued hereunder and any amounts that would be payable under Section 2.9(5) as if all of such Requesting Lender’s Loans were being prepaid in full on such date) and (ii) if such Requesting Lender has requested compensation pursuant to Section 2.9(1) or 2.9(6), such Proposed Lender’s aggregate requested compensation, if any, pursuant to Section 2.9(1) or 2.9(6) with respect to such Requesting Lender’s Loans is lower than that of the Requesting Lender. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.24(2), such Proposed Lender shall be a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements of Borrower contained in Sections 2.9(1), 2.9(6) and 12.5 (without duplication of any payments made to such Requesting Lender by Borrower or the Proposed Lender) shall survive for the benefit of such Requesting Lender under this Section 2.9(7) with respect to the time prior to such replacement.
Section 2.10 Administrative Fee. Until payment in full of all obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for its sole account, the Administrative Fee in accordance with the Fee Letter.

The claims paying ability rating of the insurer shall be consistent with the requirements of Section 3.1(8) hereof or, if no insurer of such claims paying ability rating is then issuing such terrorism insurance, the chosen insurer shall be the insurer which is offering such terrorism insurance and which has a claims paying ability rating the closest to that required by Section 3.1(8) hereof;
(n) If perils of terrorism and acts of terrorism or other similar acts or events are hereafter excluded from Borrower’s comprehensive all risk insurance policy or business income insurance coverage required under Sections 3.1(1)(a) and (c) above, Borrower shall obtain an endorsement to such policy, or a separate policy from an insurance provider which meets the requirements set forth in Section 3.1(8) below or is otherwise satisfactory to Administrative Agent, insuring against all such excluded acts or events in the amounts required for such coverage under Sections 3.1(1)(a) and (c) above, or such lesser amount as may be approved by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. The endorsement or policy shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent;

(p) upon sixty (60) days’ notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly

(3) All insurance required hereunder may be effected by one or more blanket Policies covering the Project and other property and assets of Affiliates of Borrower or REIT not constituting a part of the Project. Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Project the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder or shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Project in compliance with the provisions of Section 3.1(1).
(4) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Section 3.1(1) shall be primary coverage and, except for the Policy referenced in Section 3.1(1)(e), shall name Borrower as the insured and Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders and their successors and/or assigns) and its successors and/or assigns as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood, earthquake and terrorism insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Administrative Agent providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Administrative Agent. Borrower shall not procure or permit any of its constituent entities to procure any other insurance coverage which would be on the same level of payment as the Policies or would adversely impact in any way the ability of Administrative Agent or Borrower to collect any proceeds under any of the Policies.
(5) All Policies provided for in Section 3.1(1) hereof shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
| (i) | no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Administrative Agent is concerned; |
| (ii) | the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or cancelled without at least 30 days’ written notice to Administrative Agent and any other party |
| (iii) | each Policy shall provide that the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Administrative Agent if the Policy has not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration; and |
| (iv) | Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any insurance premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder. |
(6) If at any time Administrative Agent is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Administrative Agent shall have the right, without notice to Borrower to take such action as Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect its interest in the Project, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion deems appropriate, and all expenses actually incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(7) In the event of a foreclosure of any of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Project in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Loans all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies then in force and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

Best.
(9) Administrative Agent acknowledges that Administrative Agent has approved the Policies currently in effect with respect to Borrower and the Project.
Section 3.2 Use and Application of Net Proceeds.
(1) Minor Casualty or Condemnation. If a Casualty or Condemnation has occurred to the Project and the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Threshold Amount and the reasonably anticipated costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Threshold Amount, and provided (a) no Event of Default shall have occurred and remain uncured and (b) the Casualty or Condemnation shall have occurred prior to the Maturity Date, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Administrative Agent to Borrower. Promptly after receipt of the Net Proceeds, Borrower shall commence and satisfactorily complete with reasonable diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If any Net Proceeds are received by Borrower and may be retained by Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof, such Net Proceeds shall, until completion of the Restoration, be held in trust for Administrative Agent and shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower to be used to pay for the cost of Restoration in accordance with the terms hereof.
(2) Major Casualty or Condemnation.
(a) If a Casualty or Condemnation has occurred to the Project and the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Threshold Amount or the costs of completing the Restoration are reasonably anticipated to be equal to or greater than the Threshold Amount, Administrative Agent shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration, provided that each of the following conditions are met:
(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(ii) (A) in the event the Net Proceeds are insurance proceeds, less than thirty percent (30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements at the Project has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (B) in the event the Net Proceeds are an Award, less than fifteen percent (15%) of the land constituting the Project is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Project, and no portion of the Improvements is the subject of the Condemnation;
(iii) the Hotel Management Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and Leases requiring payment of annual rent equal to sixty-five percent (65%) of the Gross Income from Commercial Operations received by Borrower during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Casualty or Condemnation and all Major Leases shall remain in full force and effect without abatement of rent, during and after the completion of the Restoration beyond the time required for Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation;
(iv) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion, in accordance with the Loan Documents, the Air Space Lease, the Hotel Management Agreement and the Material Agreements;
(vi) Administrative Agent shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (A) the date six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (B) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Lease, (C) such time as may be required under Applicable Law in order to repair and restore the Project to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such Condemnation, as applicable or (D) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 3.1(1)(c);
(vii) the Project and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all Applicable Law;
(viii) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all Applicable Law;
(ix) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Project or the related Improvements;
(x) the REA, OPA, the Parking Arrangements and any other covenants, restrictions or agreements of record relating to the construction, operation or use of the Project shall remain in full force and effect; and
(xi) After giving effect to such Restoration, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Project shall be equal to the greater of (i) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the twelve (12) full calendar months immediately preceding the Closing Date, and (ii) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Project for the twelve (12) full calendar months immediately preceding the Casualty or Condemnation of the Project.
The term “Net Proceeds” shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds payable as a result of a Casualty to the Project, after deduction of reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees), if any, in collecting such insurance proceeds, or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees), if any, in collecting such Award.
(b) The Net Proceeds shall be paid directly to Administrative Agent and held by Administrative Agent in an interest-bearing account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2, shall constitute additional security for the Indebtedness. The Net Proceeds (including all interest earned thereon) shall be disbursed by Administrative Agent to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent that (i) all requirements set forth in Section 3.2(a) have been satisfied, (ii) all materials installed and work and labor performed in connection with
(c) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior approval of Administrative Agent and an independent architect selected by Administrative Agent (the “Casualty Consultant”). The plans and specifications shall require that the Restoration be completed in a first-class workmanlike manner at least equivalent to the quality and character of the original work in the Improvements (provided, however, that in the case of a partial Condemnation, the Restoration shall be done to the extent reasonably practicable after taking into account the consequences of such partial Condemnation), so that upon completion thereof, the Project shall be at least equal in value and general utility to the Project prior to the damage or destruction; it being understood, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to restore the Project to the precise condition of the Project prior to such Casualty provided the Project is restored, to the extent practicable, to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty. Borrower shall restore all Improvements such that when they are fully restored and/or repaired, such Improvements and their contemplated use fully comply with all applicable material Applicable Law. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to approval by Administrative Agent and the Casualty Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with recovering, holding and advancing the Net Proceeds for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees and disbursements, shall be paid by Borrower. Administrative Agent shall use good faith efforts to respond within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of Borrower’s written request for approval of any plans and specifications (or contractors, subcontractors or materialmen in connection therewith). If Administrative Agent fails to respond to such request within ten (10) Business Days of such request and Borrower sends a second written notice which contains a bold faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page stating “IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN”, and if Administrative Agent fails to respond within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of such second request and the related plans and specifications and all information reasonably required in order to adequately review the same, then such approval will be deemed to have been given.
(d) In no event shall Administrative Agent be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, less the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration, an amount equal to ten percent (10%)
of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 3.2(2)(d), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Administrative Agent that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2(2)(d) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Project have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Administrative Agent receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Administrative Agent will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Administrative Agent that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent or by the title company issuing the title insurance policy, and Administrative Agent receives an endorsement to the title insurance policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Administrative Agent, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(e) Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(f) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the opinion of Administrative Agent in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Administrative Agent before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Administrative Agent shall be held by Administrative Agent and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 3.2(2) shall constitute additional security for the Indebtedness.
(g) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Administrative Agent after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Administrative Agent that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2(2), and the receipt by Administrative Agent of evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration
All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 3.2(2)(g) may be retained and applied by Administrative Agent toward the payment of the Indebtedness, whether or not then due and payable, in such order, priority and proportions as Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Administrative Agent, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Administrative Agent shall designate.
Section 3.3 Casualty and Condemnation.
(1) Casualty. If the Project shall sustain a Casualty, Borrower shall give prompt notice of such Casualty to Administrative Agent and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion the repair and restoration of the Project as nearly as possible to the condition the Project was in immediately prior to such Casualty (a “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with Section 3.2, it being understood, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to restore the Project to the precise condition of the Project prior to such Casualty provided the Project is restored, to the extent practicable, to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty, and in compliance with the Air Space Lease, the Hotel Management Agreement and the Material Agreements. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In the event of a Casualty where the loss does not exceed the Threshold Amount, Borrower may settle and adjust such claim; provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (b) such adjustment is carried out in a commercially reasonable and timely manner. In the event of a Casualty where the loss exceeds the Threshold Amount or if an Event of Default then exists, Borrower may settle and adjust such claim only with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Administrative Agent shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower’s cost, in any such adjustments. Notwithstanding any Casualty, Borrower shall continue to pay the Indebtedness at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Notes and in this Agreement.
(2) Condemnation. Borrower shall give Administrative Agent prompt notice of any actual or threatened commencement of a Condemnation proceeding by any Governmental Authority of all or any part of the Project and shall deliver to Administrative Agent a copy of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Borrower may settle and compromise the Condemnation only with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Administrative Agent shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower’s cost, in any litigation and settlement discussions in respect thereof and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Administrative
Agent all instruments reasonably requested by Administrative Agent to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Administrative Agent, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, while an Event of Default exists, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any Award for application in accordance with this Agreement and to make any compromise or settlement in connection with any such Condemnation. Notwithstanding any Condemnation, Borrower shall continue to pay the Indebtedness at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Notes and in this Agreement. Administrative Agent shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by any Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest accruing on the Indebtedness at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Notes. If the Project or any portion thereof is taken in Condemnation by any Governmental Authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Project and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 3.2. If the Project is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Administrative Agent of the Award, Administrative Agent shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Notes shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Indebtedness.
(3) Casualty Proceeds. Notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 3.1(1)(c) and provided no Event of Default then exists hereunder, proceeds received by Administrative Agent on account of the business income insurance specified in Section 3.1(1)(c) above with respect to any Casualty shall be deposited by Administrative Agent directly into the Borrower Cash Management Account (as defined in the Borrower Cash Management Agreement) but (a) only to the extent it reflects a replacement for lost Rents that would have been due under Leases existing on the date of such Casualty or lost Gross Income from Hotel Operations (exclusive of any portion thereof provided to be paid to the Hotel Manager under the Hotel Management Agreement), and (b) only to the extent necessary to fully make the disbursements required by Sections 3.3(a)(i) through (ix) of the Borrower Cash Management Agreement. All other such proceeds shall be held by Administrative Agent and disbursed in accordance with Section 3.2 hereof.

If at any time Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay real estate taxes and insurance premiums by the dates set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall, and shall cause Operating Lessee to, increase its respective share of the monthly payments to Administrative Agent by the amount that Administrative Agent estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency ten (10) days prior to delinquency of the real estate taxes; provided, however, if Borrower receives notice of any deficiency after the date that is ten (10) days prior to the date that real estate taxes are due, Borrower will deposit, and shall cause Operating Lessee to deposit, its respective shares of such amount within one (1) Business Day after its receipt of such notice, and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the insurance policies, as the case may be. Any interest earned on the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund shall be accumulated in the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund and become a part thereof.
(2) Disbursements. Borrower shall furnish Administrative Agent with (i) bills for the charges for which such deposits are required and (ii) a disbursement request (in a form reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent), executed by an authorized officer of Borrower, at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the charges first become payable.

In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund, Administrative Agent may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to real estate taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to insurance premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy
of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof unless said bill, statement or estimate is obviously incorrect. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund shall exceed the amounts due for real estate taxes and insurance premiums pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 9.2, respectively, Administrative Agent shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, return any excess to Borrower and/or Operating Lessee, as applicable, or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund. Provided that on the date that said real estate taxes are due and payable, no Event of Default exists and sufficient funds are on deposit in the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund to pay real estate taxes, Borrower shall not be liable to pay and shall not be charged with any late charges, interest and/or penalties imposed by or payable to any Governmental Authority as a result of Administrative Agent’s failure to pay real estate taxes prior to the date that same become delinquent.
(3) Blanket Insurance and Premium Financing. For so long as a Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement (as hereafter defined) remains in effect, in lieu of the amount of the Insurance Premiums to be paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 4.1(1) hereof, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent the Financing Installment (as hereafter defined). As used herein, the term “Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement” means the arrangement with one or more finance companies for the financing of certain blanket insurance policies maintained by Borrower under the Property Insurance Sharing Agreement. Each fiscal year, Borrower pays to such finance companies Borrower’s allocable share of the annual initial deposit (the “Deposit”) and Borrower’s allocable share of ten (10) regular monthly payments (the “Regular Payments”) due for each blanket Policy. The term “Financing Installment” as used herein means 1/12 of the aggregate of the Deposit and the Regular Payments for each annual period, as such amounts may be adjusted as hereinafter set forth. On the first Payment Date and on each Payment Date in calendar year 2008, the Financing Installment shall be in the applicable amount shown on Schedule 4.1(3) attached hereto. Not less than twenty (20) days prior to each renewal date of each blanket policy, Borrower shall provide Administrative Agent in writing the estimated premium for such blanket policy for the following renewal period, and not less than ten (10) days after the renewal date, Borrower will provide Administrative Agent in writing the actual amount of such premium. Borrower will also notify Administrative Agent in writing within ten (10) days after any change in the amounts allocated to the Project under the Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement or any other charge in premiums or amounts due from Borrower under the Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement. Thereafter, the Financing Installment shall be adjusted as reasonably determined by Administrative Agent. In the event of any material change in the Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement, the foregoing provisions shall be modified as reasonably determined by Administrative Agent in order to carry out the intent and purposes hereof. The term “Insurance Premiums”, for the purposes of this Section 4.1, shall include any Deposits, any Regular Payments and any Financing Installments required to be paid by Borrower under any Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement, including, without limitation, the Property Insurance Sharing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower covenants and agrees that the finance company (or finance companies) entering into the Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement shall have no collateral from Borrower for Borrower’s obligations under
Section 4.2 Air Space Rents Reserve.
(1) Deposits. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit $20,787 with Administrative Agent, which amount shall be deposited by Administrative Agent in the Air Space Rents Reserve Account, and Borrower shall cause Operating Lessee to deposit $29,913 with Administrative Agent, which amount shall be deposited by Administrative Agent in the Air Space Reserve Account--Operating Lessee (collectively, the “Air Space Rents Threshold Amount”). If at any time the monthly rent due under the Air Space Lease increases, Borrower shall deposit an amount equal to such increase with Administrative Agent, which amount shall be deposited by Administrative Agent in the Air Space Rents Reserve Account, and such amount shall be added to the “Air Space Rents Threshold Amount”. In addition, on or before each Payment Date, (a) Borrower shall deposit with Administrative Agent, for deposit in the Air Space Rents Reserve Account, the Monthly Air Space Lease Amount, as determined by Administrative Agent which will be sufficient to pay the rent plus any other amounts owing that are next due and payable under the Air Space Lease (without taking into consideration the Air Space Rents Threshold Amount), and (b) Borrower shall cause Operating Lessee to deposit with Administrative Agent, for deposit in the Air Space Rents Reserve Account--Operating Lessee, the Monthly Air Space Lease Amount--Operating Lessee (said monthly amounts in clauses (a) and (b), together with the Air Space Rents Threshold Amount, being, collectively, the “Air Space Rents Reserve Fund”). At all times the minimum amount held in the Air Space Rents Reserve Account shall not be less than the Air Space Rents Threshold Amount. If at any time Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the amount of the Air Space Rents Reserve Fund which is in excess of the Air Space Rents Threshold Amount is not or will not be sufficient to pay rent plus any other amounts owing under the Air Space Lease by the due dates therefor under the Air Space Lease, Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Administrative Agent by the amount that Administrative Agent estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency ten (10) days prior to delinquency of such rent and other amounts.
(2) Disbursements. Provided that no Event of Default exists, on or before the date each month on which rent is due and payable under the Air Space Lease, Administrative Agent will provide instructions pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement for the remittance of sums from the Air Space Rents Reserve Account in excess of the Air Space Rents Threshold Amount to the Commission of an amount equal to the rents that are due and payable on such date under the Air Space Lease. Provided that on the date that said rent is due and payable under the Air Space Lease no Event of Default exists and sufficient funds are on deposit in the Air Space Rents Reserve Fund to pay the rent that is due and payable under the Air Space Lease, Borrower shall not be liable to pay and shall not be charged with any late charges, interest and/or penalties

Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Capital Improvements Reserve Fund”.
(2) Disbursements from the Capital Improvements Reserve Fund. Subject to the terms hereof and provided that no Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent will, subject to the terms below, direct the Depository Bank to transfer amounts credited to the Capital Improvements Reserve Fund to Borrower’s Operating Account to pay or reimburse Borrower for the costs incurred by Borrower in connection with Capital Improvements that have been approved by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Capital Improvements Reserve Fund to pay or reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to the Commercial Component or for costs which are to be paid or reimbursed from any portion of the Loans designated for Capital Improvements or any other Reserve Fund established by this Agreement. Borrower and Administrative Agent shall meet annually on a date selected by Administrative Agent to establish monthly, quarterly, and annual budgets for capital expenditures for the Commercial Component of the Project for the succeeding calendar year (the “Capital Expenditures Budget”). The Capital Expenditures Budget shall be based on the previous year’s experience and an assessment of anticipated future
needs, and shall be subject to Administrative Agent’s approval. So long as no Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent shall direct the Depository Bank to make disbursements from the Capital Improvements Reserve Account on a monthly basis as requested by Borrower, and approved by Administrative Agent pursuant to the Capital Expenditures Budget, in an amount of no less than $25,000 within (10) Business Days after delivery by Borrower to Administrative Agent of (i) a draw request in a form reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, (ii) a certificate of an authorized officer of Borrower certifying (A) that such funds will be used to pay or reimburse Borrower for the applicable Capital Improvements and a description thereof, (B) that all outstanding trade payables (other than those to be paid from the requested disbursement or which are being contested by Borrower in good faith (in which case Borrower shall only be entitled to receive the uncontested portion of such requested disbursement)) which are then due and payable have been paid in full, (C) that the same has not been the subject of a previous disbursement and (D) that all previous disbursements from the Capital Improvements Reserve Fund have been used to pay the previously identified Capital Improvement and (iii) invoices for the amounts requested, together with paid receipts, cancelled checks or other evidence of payment of all costs that were the subject of any prior disbursements from the Capital Improvements Reserve Account. In addition, if required by Administrative Agent, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent (1) to the extent any item exceeds $50,000, copies of lien waivers and releases from all parties furnishing materials and/or services in connection with the requested payment for such item or (2) to the extent any item is less than $50,000, an officer’s certificate certifying that such item has been fully and properly paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent may require (x) an inspection of the Project at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in order to verify completion of replacements and repairs for which reimbursement is sought and, if any such inspection is so required, the same shall be completed with reasonable diligence, and (y) in connection with each disbursement from the Capital Improvements Reserve Account in excess of $500,000, Administrative Agent may require Borrower to provide Administrative Agent with a search of title (but not an endorsement to the title policy) to the Project effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens or other Liens of any nature have been placed against the Project since the date of recordation of the Mortgage and that title to the Project is free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Encumbrances).
Section 4.5 Low DSCR Reserve Fund.

During any Low DSCR Trigger Period, Borrower shall cause all funds remaining in the Borrower Cash Management Account (after giving effect to deposits required pursuant to Sections 3.3(a)(i) through (vii) of the Borrower Cash Management Agreement) (“Excess Cash”) to be paid each month directly to Administrative Agent for deposit in the Sweep Account as additional collateral for the Loans. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be collectively referred to as the “Low DSCR Reserve Fund”.

(3) Release. Provided no Event of Default exists, any funds held in the Low DSCR Reserve Fund and not applied as provided subsection (2) above shall be released to Borrower upon the occurrence of a Low DSCR Release Event and, in such event Borrower shall no longer be required to cause the deposit of the subsequent Excess Cash into the Low DSCR Reserve Fund unless a Low DSCR Trigger Event occurs with respect to any future calendar quarter.

(1) Deposits. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.6(1), on the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit an amount equal to the FF&E Monthly Reserve Deposit with Administrative Agent, which amount shall be deposited by Administrative Agent in the FF&E Reserve Account. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.6, Borrower shall, or Borrower shall cause Operating Lessee to, deposit with Administrative Agent on each Payment Date an amount equal to four percent (4.00%) of the Gross Income from Hotel Operations (the “FF&E Reserve Monthly Deposit”) for the prior month, to be used for the acquisition, repair and replacement of FF&E at or in or used in the operation of the Hotel Component (the “FF&E Work”) that may be incurred following the date hereof. Amounts deposited pursuant to this Section 4.6 are referred to herein as the “FF&E Reserve Funds”. Administrative Agent may from time to time reassess its estimate of the required monthly amount necessary for the FF&E Work if Administrative Agent determines in its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary and (so long as Hotel Manager has not otherwise already materially increased the amount to be deposited into the Fund (as defined in the Hotel Management Agreement) required under Section 2.4 of the Hotel Management Agreement), upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Borrower, Borrower shall be required to, or shall cause Operating Lessee to, deposit with Administrative Agent each month such reassessed amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be relieved of its obligation to make, or caused to be made, monthly deposits of FF&E Reserve Funds in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.6 for so long as (i) Hotel Manager (or any permitted replacement thereof) maintains a reserve account, and deposits therein, on a monthly basis, in an amount equal to or greater than the FF&E Reserve Monthly Deposit, and the balance held in such account as of the Closing Date is at least $2,150,000, (ii) such amounts so deposited are required, pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Hotel Management Agreement (or any permitted replacement thereof), to be used for the replacement and renewal of FF&E and other purposes permitted by Section 2.4 of the Hotel Management Agreement, (iii) Hotel Manager (or any permitted replacement thereof) makes such replacements and renewals as required pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Hotel Management Agreement (or any permitted replacement thereof), (iv) Borrower provides, or causes to be provided, evidence of such deposits as part of Borrower’s required quarterly

If at any time the remaining funds in the Interest Reserve Fund (or remaining amount of the applicable Collateral Letter of Credit) fall below the equivalent of one-half of the Defaulting Tenant Interest Reserve Amount for the applicable Defaulting Tenant (i.e., the equivalent of six (6) months base rent and expense reimbursement due under such Defaulting Tenant’s Lease) and such Defaulting Tenant’s space at the Commercial Component has not been re-leased in accordance with Subsection 4.7(4) below and the terms of this Agreement, Borrower shall be obligated to deposit an additional amount equal to one-half of the then applicable Defaulting Tenant Interest Reserve Amount into the Interest Reserve Account (or to increase the applicable Collateral Letter of Credit by an equivalent amount to satisfy this requirement); provided, however, that, the maximum amount that shall be deposited by Borrower into the Interest Reserve Fund with respect to each Monetary Lease Default shall not exceed an amount equal to twenty-four (24) months of base rent and expense reimbursement to become due with respect to each Defaulting Tenant.

In addition, on each Payment Date until the initial Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for deposit in the Leasing Reserve Account, the sum of (a) $24,843.75 “Monthly East West Tenant Improvement Amount”) which equals one-twenty-fourth of the amount remaining as the Borrower’s obligation under the East West Lease for the payment of tenant improvements (collectively, the “Outstanding East West Bank TI Obligation”) as described on Schedule 4.8 attached hereto, and (b) the Monthly McCormicks Rent Credit Obligation, to pay for the rent credits under the McCormicks Lease, as described on Schedule 4.8
(2) Disbursements from the Leasing Reserve Fund. Subject to the terms hereof and provided that no Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent will direct the Depository Bank to transfer amounts credited to the Leasing Reserve Fund (i) to Borrower’s Operating Account, to reimburse Borrower for the costs actually incurred by Borrower in constructing tenant improvements costs or in paying allowances to a tenant under, and in accordance with, a Lease identified on Schedule 4.8 (or in the event that any such Lease has been terminated, to pay for tenant improvement costs under any new lease covering the space that was demised under such terminated lease, provided such new lease is an Approved Lease) (such allowances and costs, collectively, “Leasing Costs”), and (ii) to Borrower’s Cash Management Account, after any month in which a tenant under a Lease identified on Schedule 4.8 which is entitled to a rent credit under such Lease, receives the benefit of such rent credit, in an amount equal to the rent that was credited by Borrower for such tenant (each such amount, a “Rent Credit Amount”). Provided that no Event of Default exists at the time of any request by Borrower for a disbursement from the Leasing Reserve Fund for the payment of a Rent Credit Amount, Administrative Agent will direct the Depository Bank to transfer, from amounts credited to the Leasing Reserve Fund in accordance with the foregoing, an amount equal to the Rent Credit Amount as specified in Borrower’s request for disbursement. Subject to the foregoing, with respect to any requested disbursement for Leasing Costs, Administrative Agent shall direct the Depository Bank to make disbursements for Leasing Costs as requested by Borrower on a monthly basis in increments of no less than $25,000 within ten (10) Business Days following receipt by Administrative Agent of a written request for disbursement (in a form reasonably approved by Administrative Agent) executed by an authorized officer of Borrower and accompanied by copies of the invoices for the Leasing Costs for which payment is requested (unless the amount being requested by Borrower relates to a tenant improvement allowance required to be provided by Borrower to a tenant under a Lease identified on Schedule 4.8 (or a new Approved Lease, as provided above) where such tenant is not required to furnish invoices to Borrower in order to obtain such allowance), provided that no Event of Default exists at such time. In addition, if required by Administrative Agent, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent (i) to the extent any item exceeds $50,000, copies of lien waivers and releases from all parties furnishing materials and/or services in connection with the requested payment for such item or (ii) to the extent any item is less than $50,000, an officer’s certificate certifying that such item has been fully and properly paid. In connection with any disbursement from the Leasing Reserve Fund for Leasing Costs, Administrative Agent may require an inspection of the applicable portion of the Project at Borrower’s reasonable expense prior to making a disbursement from the Leasing Reserve Fund in order to verify completion of improvements constituting the applicable Leasing Costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make or cause to be made any disbursements for leasing commission
costs incurred until the executed approved lease and the agreement pursuant to which any leasing commission is due are each delivered to Administrative Agent, at which time Administrative Agent shall direct the Depository Bank to make a disbursement in an amount equal to not more than one-half (½) of such leasing commission. Administrative Agent shall direct the Depository Bank to disburse from the Leasing Reserve Account the remaining portion of any leasing commissions as and when the same are due and payable under such agreement as certified in a certificate executed by an authorized officer of Borrower; provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to direct the Depository Bank to disburse the remaining portion of any leasing commission at any time before when (i) the tenant under the lease is in occupancy, has accepted the leased Project and is paying rent under the lease, without offset, credit or defense, as evidenced by a tenant estoppel certificate executed by such tenant, addressed to Administrative Agent, in form satisfactory to Administrative Agent, and (ii) the brokers to whom such commissions are payable have acknowledged payment in full of all commissions due with respect to the lease and have released Administrative Agent, the Lenders, Borrower, the Project and the lease from all commissions due with respect to such lease.

(F) from time to time upon request by Administrative Agent, to furnish such further assurances of Borrower’s title with respect to the Reserve Account Collateral, execute such written agreements, or do such other acts, all as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the purposes of this agreement or as may be required by law, or in order to perfect or continue the first-priority lien and security interest of Administrative Agent in the Reserve Account Collateral.
(3) Rights on Event of Default.

Section 9.20 Books and Records; Inspection Rights. Borrower will, and will cause each of the other Borrower Parties to, keep proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries are made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities.

Section 9.21 Foreign Assets Control Regulations. Neither Borrower nor any Borrower Party shall use the proceeds of the Loans in any manner that will violate the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) or the Anti-Terrorism Order or any enabling legislation or executive order relating to any of the same. Without limiting the foregoing, neither Borrower nor any Borrower Party will permit itself nor any of its Subsidiaries to (a) become a blocked person described in Section 1 of the Anti-Terrorism Order or (b) knowingly engage in any dealings or transactions or be otherwise associated with any person who is known by such Borrower Party or who (after such inquiry as may be required by Applicable Law) should be known by such Borrower Party to be a blocked person.
Section 9.22 Appraisals. Administrative Agent may, at its option, commission one or more new and/or updated Appraisals from time to time after the Closing Date; provided, however, that Borrower shall only be required to reimburse Administrative Agent for such new and updated Appraisal (i) in connection with Section 2.5, (ii) while an Event of Default exists, and (iii) at any time such appraisal is required by Applicable law or regulatory requirements.
(1) Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid all rents, additional rents and other sums required to be paid by Borrower, as tenant under and pursuant to the provisions of the Air Space Lease on or before the date on which such rent or other charge is payable. Upon request of Administrative Agent, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent that all such rents and other sums payable, pursuant to the Air Space Lease, which are then due and payable, have been paid.
(2) Borrower shall diligently perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Air Space Lease on the part of Borrower, as tenant thereunder, to be performed and observed prior to the expiration of any applicable grace period therein provided and do everything necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired and in full force and effect the Air Space Lease.
(3) Borrower shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of the giving of any notice by the Commission under the Air Space Lease to Borrower of any default by Borrower, as lessee thereunder, and promptly deliver to Administrative Agent a true copy of each such notice.
(4) If Borrower shall be in default beyond any applicable notice and grace period under the Air Space Lease, then, subject to the terms of the Air Space Lease, Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation), to cause the default or defaults under the Air Space Lease to be remedied and otherwise exercise any and all rights of Borrower under the Air Space Lease, as may be necessary to prevent or cure any default, and Administrative Agent shall have the right to enter all or any portion of the Project at such times and in such manner as Administrative Agent deems necessary, to prevent or to cure any such default. Without limiting the foregoing, upon any such default, Borrower shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver to Administrative Agent such instruments as may reasonably be required to permit Administrative Agent to cure any default under the Air Space Lease or permit Administrative Agent to take such other action required to enable Administrative Agent to cure or remedy the matter in default and preserve the security interest of Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents with respect to the Project. Borrower irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to do, in its name or otherwise, any and all acts and to execute any and all documents that are necessary to preserve any rights of Borrower under or with respect to the Air Space Lease, including, without limitation, the right to effectuate any extension or renewal of the Air Space Lease, or to preserve any rights of Borrower whatsoever in respect of any part of the Air Space Lease (and the above powers granted to Administrative Agent are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable). The actions or payments of Administrative Agent to cure any default by Borrower under the Air Space Lease shall not remove or waive, as between Borrower and the Lenders, the default that occurred under this Agreement by virtue of the default by Borrower under the Air Space Lease. All sums expended by Administrative Agent to cure any such default shall be paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent, upon demand, with interest on such sum at the Default Rate from the date such sum is expended to and including the date the reimbursement payment is made to Administrative Agent. All such indebtedness shall be deemed to be secured by the Mortgage.
(5) Borrower shall enforce each covenant or obligation of the Air Space Lease in accordance with its terms. Within ten (10) days after receipt of written demand by Administrative Agent, but not more often than one (1) time in any six (6) month period, or if there is any Potential Default or Event of Default, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to obtain from the Commission and furnish to Administrative Agent an estoppel certificate of such lessor stating the date through which rent has been paid and whether or not there are any defaults thereunder and specifying the nature of such claimed defaults, if any.
(6) Upon the request of Administrative Agent, Borrower shall cooperate with Administrative Agent and the Lenders and, to the extent such conditions have not already been satisfied by the Commission’s execution and delivery of a Air Space Lease Estoppel, do such acts as are within its rights and powers to cause Administrative Agent or its successor on behalf of the Lenders to be deemed a “leasehold mortgagee” or its equivalent under the Air Space Lease during all times prior to the repayment of the Loans in full.
(7) Promptly upon receipt by Borrower, Borrower shall deliver to the Commission, if requested by Administrative Agent or any successor, written notice of the identity of each successor to Administrative Agent.
(8) Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent all information that Administrative Agent may reasonably request from time to time concerning the Air Space Lease and Borrower’s compliance with the Air Space Lease.
(9) Borrower, promptly upon learning that the Commission has failed to perform the terms and provisions under the Air Space Lease and immediately upon learning of a rejection or disaffirmance or purported rejection or disaffirmance of the Air Space Lease pursuant to any state or federal bankruptcy law, shall notify Administrative Agent thereof. Promptly after execution of any amendment to the Mortgage covering the Project, Borrower shall notify the Commission in a form satisfactory to Administrative Agent of the execution and delivery of the Mortgage or such amendment. The Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to give the Commission at any time any notice described in this subsection or otherwise relating to the Loans.
(10) Borrower shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of any request that any party to the Air Space Lease makes for arbitration or other dispute resolution procedure pursuant to the Air Space Lease and of the institution of any such arbitration or dispute resolution. Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to participate in any such arbitration or dispute resolution but such participation shall not, unless an Event of Default exists, be to the exclusion of Borrower. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent a copy of the determination of each such arbitration or dispute resolution mechanism.
(12) Borrower shall comply with the terms and conditions set forth in the Lease Addendum to the Mortgage.
(13) Borrower shall not, without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, cause, consent or agree to, or permit to occur any subordination of the Air Space Lease to any mortgage, deed of trust or other Lien encumbering (or that may in the future encumber) the estate of the lessor under the Air Space Lease in any premise(s) demised to Borrower thereunder (other than a subordination or consent to subordination expressly required by the terms of the Air Space Lease, in which Borrower obtains rights of non-disturbance for so long as Borrower is not in default under the Air Space Lease after applicable notice or cure periods and in which the Administrative Agent obtains rights from the holder of such mortgage, deed of trust or Lien which are substantially the same as the rights granted to the Administrative Agent as a mortgagee in the Air Space Lease).
(14) Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent: (i) surrender Borrower's leasehold estate and interest under the Air Space Lease; (ii) terminate or cancel the Air Space Lease; (iii) fail to renew or exercise any options to renew the Air Space Lease; or (iv) sublease, assign or transfer all or any portion of Borrower's leasehold estate and interest under the Air Space Lease. Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, waive or release the Commission from any obligations or conditions to be performed by the Commission under the Air Space Lease. Consent to one modification, change, supplement, alteration, amendment or sublease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to require consent to other, future or successive modifications, changes, supplements, alterations, amendments, subleases, assignments or transfers. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent a true, correct and complete copy of any modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment to the Air Space Lease.

All covenants, easements, cross easements or operating agreements which may hereafter be acquired, entered into or amended by Borrower affecting the Project (it being understood that Borrower will use its best efforts to procure such of the foregoing items as Administrative Agent may reasonably deem appropriate) shall be submitted to Administrative Agent for Administrative Agent’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, prior to the execution thereof by Borrower, accompanied by a drawing or survey showing the location thereof.
Section 9.26 Operating Expenses.

(2) Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained in this Agreement, any modification or supplement of Article 14, or of any of the rights or duties of Administrative Agent hereunder, shall require the consent of Administrative Agent.
Section 12.3 Limitation on Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to applicable usury laws. Accordingly, all agreements between Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the Loans are hereby expressly limited so that in no event, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Administrative Agent or any Lender or charged by any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be lent hereunder or otherwise, exceed the maximum amount allowed by law. If the Loans would be usurious under Applicable Law (including the laws of the State of California, the laws of the State of New York and the laws of the United States of America), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents: (1) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under Applicable Law that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received under the Loan Documents shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by Applicable Law, and any excess shall be credited on the Notes by the holders thereof (or, if the Notes have been paid in full, refunded to Borrower); and (2) if maturity is accelerated by reason of an election by Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, or in the event of any prepayment, then any consideration which constitutes interest may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by Applicable Law. In such case, excess interest, if any, provided for in the Loan Documents or otherwise, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread from the date of advance until payment in full so that the actual rate of interest is uniform through the term hereof. If such amortization, proration, allocation and spreading is not permitted under Applicable Law, then such excess interest shall be cancelled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be
credited on the Notes (or, if the Notes have been paid in full, refunded to Borrower). The terms and provisions of this Section 12.3 shall control and supersede every other provision of the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any otherwise applicable choice of law provision in the Loan Documents, if at any time the laws of the United States of America permit the Lenders to contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive a higher rate of interest than is allowed by the laws of the state whose law has been chosen (or is otherwise applied) to govern the Loan Documents (whether such federal laws directly so provide or refer to the law of any state), then such federal laws shall to such extent govern as to the rate of interest which the Lenders may contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive under the Loan Documents.
Section 12.4 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of any Loan Document is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable; the Loan Documents shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part thereof; the remaining provisions thereof shall remain in full effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance therefrom; and in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as a part of such Loan Document a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible to be legal, valid and enforceable.

Borrower shall pay or reimburse Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders on demand of the applicable party for: (1) all reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and Syndication Agent in connection with the Loans, including fees and expenses of Administrative Agent’s and Syndication Agent’s respective attorneys, environmental, engineering and other consultants, and fees, charges or taxes for the negotiation, recording or filing of Loan Documents, (2) all reasonable third-party costs and expenses of Administrative Agent in connection with the administration of the Loans, including audit costs, inspection fees, attorneys’ fees and disbursement, settlement of Condemnation and Casualty awards, and premiums for title insurance and endorsements thereto, (3) all of Administrative Agent’s and Syndication Agent’s reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of Administrative Agent’s and Syndication Agent’s external counsel) incurred in connection with the Syndication of the Loans to the Lenders, and (4) Administrative Agent and the Lenders for all amounts expended, advanced or incurred by Administrative Agent and the Lenders to collect the Notes, or to enforce the rights of Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to defend or assert the rights and claims of Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or with respect to the Project (by litigation or other proceedings), which amounts will include all court costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses, fees of auditors and accountants, and investigation expenses as may be incurred by Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with any such matters (whether or not litigation is instituted), together with interest at the Default Rate on each such amount from the date of disbursement until the date of reimbursement to Administrative Agent and the Lenders, all of which shall constitute part of the Loans and shall be secured by the Loan Documents.
Section 12.6 Approvals; Third Parties; Conditions. All approval rights retained or exercised by Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to leases, contracts, plans, studies and other matters are solely to facilitate the Lenders’ credit underwriting, and shall not be deemed or construed as a determination that the Lenders have passed on the adequacy thereof for any other purpose and may not be relied upon by Borrower or any other Person. This Agreement is for the sole and exclusive use of Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower and may not be enforced, nor relied upon, by any Person other than Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower. All conditions of the obligations of Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, including the obligation to make advances, are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, their successors and assigns, and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions or be entitled to assume that the Lenders will refuse to make advances in the absence of strict compliance with any or all of such conditions, and no other Person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any and all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Administrative Agent and the Lenders at any time in their sole and absolute discretion.
Section 12.7 Lenders and Administrative Agent Not in Control; No Partnership. None of the covenants or other provisions contained in this Agreement shall, or shall be deemed to, give Administrative Agent or any Lender the right or power to exercise control over the affairs or management of Borrower, the power of Administrative Agent and the Lenders being limited to the rights to exercise the remedies referred to in the Loan Documents. The relationship between Borrower and the Lenders is, and at all times shall remain, solely that of debtor and creditor. No covenant or provision of the Loan Documents is intended, nor shall it be deemed or construed, to create a partnership, joint venture, agency or common interest in profits or income between Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower or to create an equity in the Project in Administrative Agent or any Lender. Administrative Agent and the Lenders neither undertake nor assume any responsibility or duty to Borrower or to any other person with respect to the Project or the Loans, except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents; and notwithstanding any other provision of the Loan Documents: (1) neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender is, nor shall be construed as, a partner, joint venturer, alter ego, manager, controlling person or other business associate or participant of any kind of Borrower or its stockholders, members, or partners and neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender intends to ever assume such status; (2) no Lender or Administrative Agent shall in any event be liable for any Debts, expenses or losses incurred or sustained by Borrower; and (3) no Lender or Administrative Agent shall be deemed responsible for or a participant in any acts, omissions or decisions of Borrower or its stockholders, members, or partners.

No course of dealing on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender, their officers, employees, consultants or agents, nor any failure or delay by Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to exercising any right, power or privilege of Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents, shall operate as a waiver thereof.

Section 12.22 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Loan Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.
Section 12.23 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one document.
Section 12.24 Assignments and Participations.
(1) Assignments by Borrower. Borrower may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under the Notes without the prior consent of all of the Lenders and Administrative Agent.
(2) Assignments by the Lenders. Each Lender may assign any of its Loans, its Note and its Commitment (but only with the consent of Administrative Agent); provided that:
(a) no such consent by Administrative Agent shall be required in the case of any assignment by any Lender to another Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender or such other Lender (provided that in the case of an assignment to any such Affiliate, the assigning Lender will not be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents and Administrative Agent may continue to deal only with such assigning Lender);
(b) except to the extent Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent, any such partial assignment (other than to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender) shall be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000;
(d) subject to the applicable Lender’s compliance with the provisions of clauses (b) and (c) above, Administrative Agent’s consent to an assignment shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned if (i) such assignment is made to an Eligible Assignee, and (ii) the provisions of clause (e) have been satisfied; and
(e) upon execution and delivery by the assignee (even if already a Lender) to Borrower and Administrative Agent of an Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which such assignee agrees to become a “Lender” hereunder (if not already a Lender) having the Commitment and Loans specified in such instrument, and upon consent thereto by Administrative Agent to the extent required above, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise consented to by Administrative Agent), the obligations, rights and benefits of a Lender hereunder holding the Commitment and Loans (or portions thereof) assigned to it (in addition to the Commitment and Loans, if any, theretofore held by such assignee) and, except as provided in Section 12.24(2)(a), the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of such assignment, be released from the Commitment (or portion thereof) so assigned. Upon each such assignment the assigning Lender shall pay Administrative Agent a processing and recording fee of $3,500 and the reasonable fees and disbursements of Administrative Agent’s counsel incurred in connection therewith.
(3) Participations.
(a) A Lender may sell or agree to sell to one or more other Persons (each a “Participant”) a participation in all or any part of any Loans held by it, or in its Commitment, provided (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Borrower, Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall a Lender that sells a participation agree with the Participant to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document except that such Lender may agree with the Participant that it will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (A) increase or extend the term of such Lender’s Commitment, (B) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the related Loan or Loans or any portion of any fee hereunder payable to the Participant, (C) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, (D) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon, or any fee hereunder payable to the Participant, to a level below the rate at which the Participant is entitled to receive such interest or fee or (E) consent to any modification, supplement or waiver hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents to the extent that the same, under Section 12.2, requires the consent of each Lender. Subject to subsection (3)(b) of this Section 12.24, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.9(1), 2.9(5), and 2.9(6) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (2) of this Section
(b) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.9(1) or 2.9(6) than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that is a non-U.S. Person that would become a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.9(6) unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 2.9(6) as though it were a Lender
(4) Certain Pledges. In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.24 (but without being subject thereto), any Lender may (without notice to Borrower, Administrative Agent or any other Lender and without payment of any fee) assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and its Note to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, and such Loans and Note shall be fully transferable as provided therein. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.
(5) Provision of Information to Assignees and Participants. A Lender may furnish any information concerning Borrower, any Borrower Party or any of their respective Affiliates or the Project in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants).
(6) No Assignments to Borrower or Affiliates. Anything in this Section 12.24 to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to Borrower or any of its Affiliates without the prior consent of each Lender.
Section 12.25 Brokers. Borrower hereby represents to Administrative Agent and each Lender that Borrower has not dealt with any broker, underwriters, placement agent, or finder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, other than Eastdil-Secured (the “Broker”). Borrower hereby agrees to pay all fees and commissions due and payable to Broker and to indemnify and hold Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person (including Broker) that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.
Section 12.26 Right of Set-off.
(1) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each of the Lenders is, subject (as between the Lenders) to the provisions of subsection (3) of this Section 12.26, hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower) and to the fullest extent permitted by law,
to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held, and other indebtedness at any time owing, by such Lender in any of its offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all of the respective obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or any other Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured and such deposits or indebtedness may be unmatured. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that the exercise by any Lender of offset, set-off, banker’s lien, or similar rights against any deposit or other indebtedness of Borrower whether or not located in California or any other state with certain laws restricting lenders from pursuing multiple collection methods, could result under such laws in significant impairment of the ability of all the Lenders to recover any further amounts in respect of the Loan. Therefore, each Lender agrees that no Lender shall exercise any such right of set-off, banker’s lien, or otherwise, against any assets of Borrower (including all general or special, time or demand, provisional or other deposits and other indebtedness owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower) without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders.
(2) Each Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Lenders under this Section 12.26 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which the Lenders may have.
(3) If an Event of Default has resulted in the Loans becoming due and payable prior to the stated maturity thereof, each Lender agrees that it shall turn over to Administrative Agent any payment (whether voluntary or involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff or otherwise) on account of the Loans held by it in excess of its ratable portion of payments on account of the Loans obtained by all the Lenders.
Section 12.27 Limitation on Liability of Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ Officers, Employees, etc. Any obligation or liability whatsoever of Administrative Agent or any Lender which may arise at any time under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be satisfied, if at all, out of Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s respective assets only. No such obligation or liability shall be personally binding upon, nor shall resort for the enforcement thereof be had to, the property of any of Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s shareholders, directors, officers, employees or agents, regardless of whether such obligation or liability is in the nature of contract, tort or otherwise.
Section 12.28 Cooperation with Syndication. Borrower acknowledges that Arranger intends to syndicate a portion of the Commitments to one or more Lenders (the “Syndication”) and in connection therewith, Borrower will take, and shall cause Operating Lessee to take, all actions as Arranger may reasonably request to assist Arranger in its Syndication effort. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall, and Borrower shall cause Operating Lessee to, at the request of Arranger (i) facilitate the review of the Project by any prospective Lender; (ii) assist Arranger and otherwise reasonably cooperate
Section 12.29 Severance of Loan.
(1) Loan Components. The Arranger shall have the right, at any time, to direct Administrative Agent, with respect to all or any portion of the Loan, to (a) cause the Notes, the Mortgage and the other Security Documents to be severed and/or split into two or more separate notes, mortgages and other security agreements, so as to evidence and secure one or more senior and subordinate mortgage loans, (b) create one more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure) secured by the Mortgage and the other Security Documents, (c) create multiple components of the Notes (and allocate or re-allocate the outstanding principal amount of the Loan among such components) or (d) otherwise sever the Loans into two or more loans secured by the Mortgage and the other Security Documents (each of clauses (a) through (d), together with the Mezzanine Option described below, a “Bifurcation”); in each such case, in whatever proportions and priorities as the Arranger may so direct in its discretion to Administrative Agent; provided, however, that in each such instance (i) the outstanding principal amount of all the Notes evidencing the Loans (or components of such Notes) immediately following such Bifurcation shall be equal the outstanding principal amount of the Loan immediately prior to such Bifurcation; (ii) the weighted average Applicable Margin with respect to the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Base Rate Loans and LIBOR-based Loans immediately after such Bifurcation and at all times prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default shall not exceed the weighted average Applicable Margin with respect to the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Base Rate Loans and LIBOR-based Loans as set forth in the initial Notes delivered hereunder (as such interest rates are subject to being adjusted from time to time in accordance herewith, including as a result of the accrual of interest at the Default Rate); and (iii) such adjustment does not increase Borrower’s affirmative obligations or decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents or adversely affect the economic terms of the Loans, except potentially in the case of Event of Default. If requested by Administrative Agent in writing, Borrower shall execute, and if necessary Borrower shall cause Operating Lessee to
(2) Mezzanine Financing. The Arranger shall have the right, at any time, to direct Administrative Agent, to divide the Loan into two or more parts (the “Mezzanine Option”): a mortgage loan (the “Mortgage Loan”) and one or more mezzanine loans (the “Mezzanine Loan(s)”). The principal amount of the Mortgage Loan plus the principal amount of the Mezzanine Loan(s) shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s). In effectuating the foregoing, the lender of the Mezzanine Loan(s) will make a loan to a borrower (the “Mezzanine Borrower(s)”); Mezzanine Borrower(s) will contribute the amount of the Mezzanine Loan(s) to Borrower (in its capacity as Borrower under the Mortgage Loan, “Mortgage Borrower”) and Mortgage Borrower will apply the contribution to pay down the Loan to its Mortgage Loan amount (without prepayment premium). The Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s) shall be on the same terms and subject to the same conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents except as follows:
(a) The Arranger shall have the right, at any time, to direct Administrative Agent, to establish different interest rates and debt service payments for the Mortgage Loan(s) and the Mezzanine Loan and to require the payment of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s) in such order of priority as may be designated by the Arranger; provided that (i) the total of the loan amounts for the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s) immediately following the creation of such Mezzanine Loan(s) shall equal the amount of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s), (ii) the weighted average Applicable Margin with respect to the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Base Rate Loans and LIBOR-based Loans that are outstanding under the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan immediately after such Bifurcation and at all times prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default shall not exceed the weighted average Applicable Margin with respect to the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Base Rate Loans and LIBOR-based Loans as set forth in the initial Notes delivered hereunder (as such interest rates are subject to being adjusted from time to time in accordance herewith, including as a result of the accrual of interest at the Default Rate), (iii) the initial debt service payments on the Mortgage Loan note and the Mezzanine Loan note(s) shall initially on the date created equal the debt service payment which was due under the Loan immediately prior to creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s), and (iv) such adjustment does not increase Borrower’s affirmative obligations or decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents or adversely affect the
(b) Mezzanine Borrower(s) shall be a newly-formed special purpose, bankruptcy remote entity satisfactory to Administrative Agent, and shall own directly or indirectly one hundred percent (100%) of Mortgage Borrower. The security for the Mezzanine Loan shall be a pledge of one hundred percent (100%) of the direct and indirect ownership interests in Mortgage Borrower.
(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 12.5(3), Mezzanine Borrower and Mortgage Borrower shall cooperate, and Borrower shall cause Operating Lessee to cooperate, with all reasonable requests of the Arranger and Administrative Agent in order to convert the Loan into a Mortgage Loan and one or more Mezzanine Loan(s) and shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by the Arranger and Administrative Agent in connection therewith, including, without limitation, (i) the delivery of non-consolidation opinions, (ii) the modification of organizational documents and loan documents, (iii) documents authorizing Administrative Agent to file any UCC-1 Financing Statements reasonably required by Administrative Agent to perfect the security interest in the collateral for the Mezzanine Loan(s), (iv) execution of such other documents reasonably required by the Arranger and Administrative Agent in connection with the creation of the Mezzanine Loan(s), including, without limitation, an environmental indemnity substantially similar in form and substance to the Environmental Indemnity Agreement delivered on the date hereof in connection with the Loans (v) delivery of appropriate authorization and enforceability opinions with respect to the Mezzanine Loan(s), and (vi) delivery of an “Eagle 9” or equivalent UCC title insurance policy, satisfactory to the Arranger and Administrative Agent, insuring the perfection and priority of the lien on the Mezzanine Loan collateral; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of Section 12.27 or this Section 12.29(2) to the contrary, Borrower shall not be required to enter into any such documents and amendments which would increase Borrower’s affirmative obligations or decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents or adversely affect the economic terms of the Loans, except potentially in the case of Event of Default.

(c) shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith, except to the extent any such action taken or omitted violates Administrative Agent’s standard of care set forth in the first sentence of Section 14.5;
(d) shall not, except to the extent expressly instructed by the Majority Lenders with respect to collateral security under the Security Documents, be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder or under any other Loan Document; and
(e) shall not be required to take any action which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law.
The relationship between Administrative Agent and each Lender is a contractual relationship only, and nothing herein shall be deemed to impose on Administrative Agent any obligations other than those for which express provision is made herein or in the other Loan Documents. Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact, and may delegate all or any part of its obligations hereunder, to third parties and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents, attorneys-in-fact or third parties selected by it in good faith. Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of a Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with Administrative Agent, any such assignment or transfer to be subject to the provisions of Section 12.24. Except to the extent expressly provided in Sections 14.8, the provisions of this Article 14 are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and Borrower shall not have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof and the Lenders may modify or waive such provisions of this Article 14 in their sole and absolute discretion.
Section 14.2 Reliance by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including, without limitation, any thereof by telephone, telecopy, telegram or cable) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Administrative Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this
Section 14.3 Defaults.
(1) Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default unless Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrower specifying such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. In the event that Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. Within ten (10) days of delivery of such notice of Event of Default from Administrative Agent to the Lenders (or such shorter period of time as Administrative Agent determines is necessary), Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall consult with each other to determine a proposed course of action. Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 14.7) take such action with respect to such Event of Default as shall be directed by the Majority Lenders, provided that, (A) unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, including decisions to make protective advances that Administrative Agent reasonably determines are necessary to protect or maintain the Project (but not including any decision to foreclose on any of the Project unless the failure to act immediately will cause such remedy to expire; provided, however, that if the Majority Lenders have not provided direction to the Administrative Agent as to a course of action within ninety (90) days after delivery of the notice of Event of Default referred to above, then Administrative Agent shall commence and thereafter diligently proceed with foreclosure proceedings) and (B) no actions approved by the Majority Lenders shall violate the Loan Documents or Applicable Law. Each of the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that no individual Lender may separately enforce or exercise any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents (including the Notes) other than through Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of all material actions which Administrative Agent takes in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.3(1) and shall continue to consult with the Lenders with respect to all of such actions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Majority Lenders shall at any time direct that a different or additional remedial action be taken from that already undertaken by Administrative Agent, such different or additional remedial action shall be taken in lieu of or in addition to, the prosecution of such action taken by Administrative Agent; provided that all actions already taken by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 14.3(1) shall be valid and binding on each Lender. All money (other than money subject to the provisions of Section 14.7) received from any enforcement actions, including the proceeds of a foreclosure sale of the Project, shall be applied, first, to the payment or reimbursement of Administrative Agent for actual, out of pocket expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of Sections 14.3(2), (3) and (4) and 14.5 and to the payment of the Administrative Fee to the extent not paid by Borrower pursuant to Section 14.11, second, to the payment or reimbursement of the Lenders for actual, out of pocket expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of Sections 14.3(2), (3) and (4) and 14.5; third, to the payment or reimbursement of
(2) All losses with respect to interest (including interest at the Default Rate) and other sums payable pursuant to the Notes or incurred in connection with the Loans shall be borne by the Lenders in accordance with their respective proportionate shares of the Loans. All losses incurred in connection with the Loans, the enforcement thereof or the realization of the security therefor, shall be borne by the Lenders in accordance with their respective proportionate shares of the Loan, and the Lenders shall promptly, upon request, remit to Administrative Agent their respective proportionate shares of (i) any actual, out of pocket expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with any Default to the extent any expenses have not been paid by Borrower, (ii) any advances made to pay taxes or insurance or otherwise to preserve the Lien of the Security Documents or to preserve and protect the Project, whether or not the amount necessary to be advanced for such purposes exceeds the amount of the Mortgage, (iii) any other actual, out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of the Mortgage or other Loan Documents, and (iv) any actual, out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the Loans not paid or provided for by Borrower. To the extent any such advances are recovered in connection with the enforcement of the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, each Lender shall be paid its proportionate share of such recovery after deduction of the actual, out of pocket expenses of Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
(3) If, at the direction of the Majority Lenders or otherwise as provided in Section 14.3(1), any action(s) is brought to collect on the Notes or enforce the Security Documents or any other Loan Document, such action shall (to the extent permitted under Applicable Law and the decisions of the court in which such action is brought) be an action brought by Administrative Agent and the Lenders, collectively, to collect on all or a portion of the Notes or enforce the Security Documents or any other Loan Document and counsel selected by Administrative Agent shall prosecute any such action on behalf of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall consult and cooperate with each other in the prosecution thereof. All decisions concerning the appointment of a receiver while such action is pending, the conduct of such receivership, the conduct of such action and the collection of any judgment entered in such action shall be made by Administrative Agent, provided that any decision regarding the settlement of such action shall be made by the Majority Lenders. The costs and expenses of any such action shall be borne by the Lenders in accordance with each of their respective proportionate shares.
(4) If, at the direction of the Majority Lenders or otherwise as provided in Section 14.3(1), any action(s) is brought to foreclose the Mortgage, such action shall (to the extent permitted under Applicable Law and the decisions of the court in which such action is brought) be an action brought by Administrative Agent and the Lenders, collectively, to foreclose all or a
(5) If title is acquired to the Project after a foreclosure sale or by a deed in lieu of foreclosure, title shall be held by Administrative Agent in its own name in trust for the Lenders or, at Administrative Agent’s election, in the name of a wholly owned subsidiary of Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders.
(6) If Administrative Agent (or its subsidiary) acquires title to the Project or is entitled to possession of the Project during or after the foreclosure, all material decisions with respect to the possession, ownership, development, construction, control, operation, leasing, management and sale of the Project shall be made by Administrative Agent (subject to the provisions of this Section 14.3(6)); provided, however, that (i) the Syndication Agent, Majority Lenders and each Lender shall continue to have, following such acquisition of title, the same rights (if any) to approve of insurance, leases, budgets, the property manager, hotel manager and Sale or Pledge of the Project as applied under this Agreement prior to such acquisition of title and (ii) Majority Lender approval shall be required for any of the actions described on Schedule 14.3 attached hereto. The Administrative Agent shall prepare a recommended course of action for the administration of the Project following foreclosure or transfer in lieu of foreclosure, which shall be subject to the approval of the Majority Lenders (such plan, as so approved, and as it may be modified or supplemented from time to time with the approval of the Majority Lenders, the “Post-Foreclosure Plan”). The Administrative Agent, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, shall be authorized to arrange for the administration of the Project based upon the objectives set forth in the Post-Foreclosure Plan, with the understanding that the Project will not be held as a permanent investment but will be liquidated as soon as practicable. It is understood and agreed that in no event shall the Administrative Agent be responsible to assure or guarantee to any Lender that the objectives set forth in the Post-Foreclosure Plan will be achieved. Each Lender shall cooperate with all reasonable requests from the Administrative Agent that would require the execution or delivery of any document or the performance of any act by such Lender in order to assist with the implementation of the Post-Foreclosure Plan, and shall be required to provide such funds, in accordance with such Lender’s proportionate share, as may be requested from time to time by the Administrative Agent to cover any costs, the expenditure of which is deemed necessary or appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the implementation of the Post-Foreclosure Plan, to the extent that the net revenues of the Project,
after taking into account the matters described in clauses first through fifth in the seventh sentence of this Section 14.3(6), are inadequate therefor. Such costs shall be deemed for purposes of this Agreement to be advances made for the protection or preservation of the Project and the Lenders’ interest therein. . All income or other money received after so acquiring title to or taking possession of the Project with respect to the Project, including income from the operation and management of the Project and the proceeds of a sale of the Project, shall be applied, first, to the payment or reimbursement of Administrative Agent and the expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of this Article 14 and to the payment of the Administrative Fee to the extent not paid by Borrower pursuant to Section 14.11, second, to the payment of operating expenses with respect to the Project; third, to the establishment of reasonable reserves for the operation of the Project; fourth, to the payment or reimbursement of the Lenders for any advances made pursuant to Section 14.3(2); fifth to fund any capital improvement, leasing and other reserves; and sixth, to the Lenders in accordance with their respective proportionate shares (and to each of the Lenders under any applicable Hedge Agreement for its Additional Interest in accordance with Section 9.15), unless an Unpaid Amount is owed pursuant to Section 14.12, in which event such Unpaid Amount shall be deducted from the portion of such proceeds of the Defaulting Lender and be applied to payment of such Unpaid Amount to the Special Advance Lender. The Administrative Agent shall make distributions in accordance with the previous sentence not less frequently than once quarterly, or at such other interval as may be reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.
Section 14.4 Rights as a Lender. With respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, Eurohypo (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. Eurohypo (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) lend money to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of lending, trust or other business with Borrower’s Affiliates so long as Borrower’s Affiliates are permitted to conduct such business under the terms of the Loan Documents, as if it were not acting as Administrative Agent, and Eurohypo and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower’s Affiliates for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders so long as Borrower’s Affiliates’ payment of such fees is not prohibited under the terms of the Loan Documents.
Section 14.5 Standard of Care; Indemnification. In performing its duties under the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent will act in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, but Administrative Agent shall have no further responsibility to any Lender except as expressly provided herein and except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct which resulted in actual loss to such Lender, and, except to such extent, Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility to any Lender for the failure by Administrative Agent to comply with any of Administrative Agent’s obligations to Borrower under the Loan Documents or otherwise. The Lenders agree to indemnify Administrative Agent (to the extent
not reimbursed under Section 12.5, but without limiting the obligations of Borrower under Section 12.5) ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of the Loans held by the Lenders (or, if no Loans are at the time outstanding, ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments), for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent (including by any Lender) arising out of or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses that Borrower is obligated to pay under Section 12.5, but excluding, unless a Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from Administrative Agent’s breach of its standard of care set forth in the first sentence of this Section 14.5.
Section 14.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of Borrower and its Affiliates and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document. Subject to the provisions of the first sentence of Section 14.5, Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the Project or the books of Borrower or any of its Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Administrative Agent hereunder or as otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent and the Lenders, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of Borrower or any of its Affiliates that may come into the possession of Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent will promptly forward to Syndication Agent copies of all financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to the Administrative Agent, including without limitation the reports and other information delivered to Administrative Agent under Section 8.1, within five (5) Business Days of Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof, and Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have satisfied the foregoing obligation so long as Administrative Agent makes such reports are made available to the Syndication Agent and/or the Lenders on an internet-based project/deal site such as Syndtrak or another comparable website.
Section 14.7 Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of Administrative Agent hereunder, and under the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent
Section 14.8 Resignation of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrower, and all of the Lenders (other than the Lender which is then the Administrative Agent) may remove Administrative Agent at any time for gross negligence or willful misconduct or for its material failure to comply with the standard of care set forth in Section 14.5 by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice and cure period to Administrative Agent, Borrower and all other Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, so long as Wells Fargo maintains Loans or a Commitment at least equal to or greater than that of any other Lender (other than Eurohypo), the successor Administrative Agent shall be Wells Fargo or, if Wells Fargo declines to be Administrative Agent or no longer owns any Loans or Commitments, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent that shall be a Person that meets the qualifications of an Eligible Assignee. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or its receipt of notice of removal, then the retiring or removed Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, that shall be an institutional lender that meets the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 14.8). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provision of this Article 14 and Section 12.5 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent.
Section 14.9 Consents under Loan Documents. Administrative Agent may as expressly provided in the Loan Documents and, if not expressly provided, with the consent of the Majority Lenders (a) grant any consent or approval required of it or (b) consent to any modification, supplement or waiver under any of the Loan Documents. If Administrative Agent solicits any consents or approvals from the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, each Lender shall within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such request, give Administrative Agent written notice of its consent or approval or denial thereof; provided that, if any Lender does not respond within such ten (10) Business Days, and such request contained a bold faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page stating “IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN,” such Lender shall be deemed to have authorized Administrative
Section 14.10 Authorization. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by the Lenders to execute, deliver and perform in accordance with the terms of each of the Loan Documents to which Administrative Agent is or is intended to be a party and each Lender agrees to be bound by all of the agreements of Administrative Agent contained in such Loan Documents. Borrower shall be entitled to rely on all written agreements, approvals and consents received from Administrative Agent as being that also of the Lenders, without obtaining separate acknowledgment or proof of authorization of same.
Section 14.11 Administrative Fee. So long as the Commitments are in effect and until payment in full of all obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for its sole account, the Administrative Fee. The Administrative Fee shall be payable monthly in advance commencing on the Closing Date pursuant to the Fee Letter.
Section 14.12 Defaulting Lenders.
(1) If any Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) shall for any reason fail to (a) make any respective Loan required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (b) pay its proportionate share of an advance or disbursement to protect the Project or the Lien of the Security Documents, then (a) any of the other Lenders may, but shall not be obligated to, make all or a portion of the Defaulting Lender’s Loan or proportionate share of such advance, provided that such Lender gives the Defaulting Lender and Administrative Agent prior notice of its intention to do so, and (b) all amounts paid by Borrower and otherwise due to be applied to the indebtedness and obligations owing the Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms hereof shall be distributed by Administrative Agent to the Special Advance Lender until it has received the Unpaid Amount (as defined below) in full. The right to make such advances in respect of the Defaulting Lender shall be exercisable first by the Lender holding the greatest proportionate share and thereafter to each of the Lenders in descending order of their respective proportionate shares of the Loans or in such other manner as the Majority Lenders (excluding the Defaulting Lender) may agree on. Any Lender making all or any portion of the Defaulting Lender’s proportionate share of the applicable Loan or advance in accordance with the foregoing terms and conditions shall be referred to as a “Special Advance Lender”.
(2) In any case where a Lender becomes a Special Advance Lender (a) the Special Advance Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, and the Defaulting Lender shall be
(3) A Special Advance Lender shall (a) give notice to the Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders (provided that failure to deliver said notice to any party other than the Defaulting Lender shall not constitute a default under this Agreement) of the Advance Amount and the percentage of the Special Advance Lender’s senior participation in the Defaulting Lender’s Loan and (b) in the event of the repayment of any of the Unpaid Amount by the Defaulting Lender, give notice to the Defaulting Lender and Administrative Agent of the fact that the Unpaid Amount has been repaid (in whole or in part), the amount of such repayment and, if applicable, the revised percentage of the Special Advance Lender’s senior participation. Provided that Administrative Agent has received notice of such participation, Administrative Agent shall have the same obligations to distribute interest, principal and other sums received by Administrative Agent with respect to a Special Advance Lender’s senior participation as Administrative Agent has with respect to the distribution of interest, principal and other sums under this Agreement; and at the time of making any distributions to the Lenders, shall make payments to the Special Advance Lender with respect to a Special Advance Lender’s senior participation in the Defaulting Lender’s Loan out of the Defaulting Lender’s share of any such distributions.
(4) A Defaulting Lender shall immediately pay to a Special Advance Lender all sums of any kind paid to or received by the Defaulting Lender from Borrower, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or in connection with the realization of the security therefor until the Unpaid Amount is fully repaid. Notwithstanding the fact that the Defaulting Lender may temporarily hold such sums, the Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to hold same as a trustee for the benefit of the Special Advance Lender, it being the express intention of the Lenders that the Special Advance Lender shall have an ownership interest in such sums to the extent of the Unpaid Amount.
(5) Each Defaulting Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and interest at the
Section 14.13 Liability of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not have any liabilities or responsibilities to Borrower on account of the failure of any Lender (other than Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender) to perform its obligations hereunder or to any Lender on account of the failure of Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document.
Section 14.14 Transfer of Agency Function. Without the consent of Borrower or any Lender, Administrative Agent may at any time or from time to time transfer its functions as Administrative Agent hereunder to any of its offices wherever located in the United States; provided that Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders thereof.
Section 14.15 Liability of Borrower. Except to the extent expressly set forth in Sections 14.1, 14.10, 14.11, 14.13 and 14.14 above, nothing in this Article 14 shall affect the rights or obligations of Borrower or the Borrower Parties under this Agreement or the Loan Documents.
Section 14.16 Certain Matters relating to the Syndication Agent.
(1) No Lender identified on the cover page of or elsewhere in this Agreement as a "Syndication Agent" shall have any right, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Document, except for any right, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty which is the express right, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty of the “Syndication Agent” hereunder.
(2) The Syndication Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary or trust relationship in respect of any Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term "agent" in this Agreement with reference to the Syndication Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a title. Each Lender expressly acknowledges (i) that the Syndication Agent has not made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Syndication Agent hereafter taken shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Syndication Agent to any Lender; (ii) that it has made and will continue to make, without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent, its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs and its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower or the Guarantor in connection with this Agreement and the making and continuance of the Loans hereunder, including, but not limited to, compliance by such Lender with Regulation O; and (iii)
that the Syndication Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter.
