GENERAL TERMS
Section 2.1Loan Commitment; Disbursement to Borrower.
(a) The Loan was fully disbursed on the Original Closing Date. Any amount repaid in respect of the Loan may not be reborrowed.
(b) The Loan is evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
Section 2.2Interest Rate.
(a)Note Rate. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Note shall bear and accrue interest at the Note Rate. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, interest shall be paid in arrears.
(b)Unavailability of LIBOR Rate. In the event that Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate, then Lender shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the last day of the related Interest Period. If such notice is given, the Note Rate, commencing with the first (1st) day of the next succeeding Interest Period, shall be the LIBOR Rate in effect for the most recent Interest Period (the “Static LIBOR Rate”).
If, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Loan has been converted to the Static LIBOR Rate and Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower, and the Static LIBOR Rate shall convert to the LIBOR Rate effective on the first (1st) day of the
-47-
next succeeding Interest Period by delivering to Borrower written notice of such election no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time), three (3) Business Days prior to the desired conversion date, which notice shall be irrevocable. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to elect to convert from the LIBOR Rate to the Static LIBOR Rate.
(c)Computations and Determinations. All interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed during an Interest Period. Lender shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Debt in accordance with this Agreement and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The books and records of Lender shall be prima facie evidence of all sums owing to Lender from time to time under this Agreement, but the failure to record any such information shall not limit or affect the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents.
(d)Change of Interest Period. Prior to a Securitization, Lender shall have a one-time right in its sole discretion to change the Interest Period upon written notice to Borrower.
(e)Default Rate. Any principal of, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest on the Note, and any other sum payable hereunder, which is not paid when due shall bear interest from the date due and payable until paid, payable on demand, at the Default Rate.
(f)Usury Savings. This Agreement and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the LIBOR Rate, the Static LIBOR Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
(g)Interest Rate Limitation. Regardless of any provision contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Lender shall never be deemed to have contracted for or be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest on the Loan, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or otherwise, any amount in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by applicable law, and, in the event that Lender ever receives, collects or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan, and, if the principal balance of the Loan is paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Borrower. In
-48-
determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the highest lawful rate, Borrower and Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium, rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effect thereof, and (c) spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Loan so that the interest rate is uniform throughout such term;provided,however, that if the Loan is paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term thereof, and if the interest received for the actual term thereof exceeds the maximum lawful rate, Lender shall refund to Borrower the amount of such excess, or credit the amount of such excess against the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Loan at the time in question. At all times when the Texas Credit Code shall govern the maximum rate of interest that may be charged, the same shall be the “weekly ceiling” for all such times.
Section 2.3Loan Payments.
(a)Payments. Borrower agrees to pay sums under the Note in installments as follows:
(i) [Intentionally Omitted];
(ii) a payment on each Payment Date of all interest that has or will accrue on the principal amount of the Note during the Interest Period immediately preceding the applicable Payment Date (or, if such Payment Date is not the ninth (9th) day of the calendar month because such day is not a Business Day, the Interest Period in which such Payment Date occurs); and
(iii) the outstanding principal amount and all interest thereon (including interest through the end of the Interest Period in which the Maturity Date occurs) shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date together with any other amounts, if any, remaining due and payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.
(b)Extension of Maturity Date. Borrower shall have the option to extend the term of the Loan beyond the Stated Maturity Date for two (2) successive terms (each, an “Extension Option”) of one (1) year each to (y) the Payment Date occurring in March, 2015, and (z) the Payment Date occurring in March, 2016 (the “Second Extended Maturity Date” and each such date in (y) and (z), an “Extended Maturity Date”), respectively, and, as to each Extension Option, upon satisfaction of the following terms and conditions:
(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the applicable Extension Option is exercised and on the date that the applicable extension term is commenced;
(ii) Borrower shall notify Lender of its irrevocable election to extend the Maturity Date as aforesaid not earlier than three (3) months, and no later than one (1) month, prior to the then applicable Maturity Date;
(iii) at least thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of the applicable Extension Option, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender one or more Replacement
-49-
Rate Caps, which Replacement Rate Caps shall be effective commencing on the first day of such Extension Option and shall have a maturity date not earlier than the end of the Interest Period in which the Maturity Date as extended pursuant to the terms of thisSection 2.3 falls; and
(iv) in connection with each Extension Option, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender together with its notice pursuant to subsection (b) of thisSection 2.3 and as of the commencement of the applicable Extension Option, an Officer’s Certificate in form acceptable to Lender certifying that each of the representations and warranties of Borrower contained in the Loan Documents is true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the date of such Officer’s Certificate.
All references in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents to the Maturity Date means the applicable Extended Maturity Date in the event the applicable Extension Option is exercised.
(c)Payments after Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan shall accrue at the Default Rate, and (ii) Borrower shall deliver, or caused to be delivered, all Manager Remittances to the Cash Management Account pursuant to the terms of, and to be allocated and applied as set forth in,Article X of this Agreement. Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the earlier of (x) the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due) and (y) the cure of such Event of Default. To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Mortgage. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default; the acceptance of any payment from Borrower shall not be deemed to cure or constitute a waiver of any Event of Default; and Lender retains its rights under this Agreement to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the happening of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, despite any payment by Borrower to Lender.
(d)Late Payment Charge. If any principal (other than the full principal amount payable on the Maturity Date) or interest payment is not paid by Borrower on or before the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.
(e)Method and Place of Payment. Each payment by Borrower hereunder or under the Note shall be payable at such place as Lender may designate from time to time in writing, on the date such payment is due, to Lender by deposit to such account as Lender may designate by written notice to Borrower. Each payment by Borrower hereunder or under the
-50-
Note shall be made in funds settled through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System or other funds immediately available to Lender by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date such payment is due, to Lender by deposit to such account as Lender may designate by written notice to Borrower. Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day preceding such scheduled due date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower’s obligations with respect to monthly payment of Debt Service and amounts required to be deposited into the Reserve Accounts pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed satisfied, and no default interest or late charge shall be assessed underclauses (c) and(d) above, so long as there is sufficient money in the Cash Management Account on the due date for payment of such amounts pursuant toArticle X of this Agreement and Lender’s access to such money has not been constrained or constricted in any manner, including by any action by Borrower to contest the release of funds from the Cash Management Account or Clearing Account for the payment of Debt Service or otherwise.
(f)Additional Payment Provisions.
(i) If at any time after the date hereof, Lender (which shall include, for purposes of this Section, any corporation controlling Lender) reasonably determines that due to the adoption or modification of any Legal Requirement regarding taxation, Lender’s required levels of reserves, deposits, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance or capital (including any allocation of capital requirements or conditions), or similar requirements, or any interpretation or administration thereof by any Tribunal or compliance of Lender with any of such requirements, has or would have the effect of (a) increasing Lender’s costs relating to the Loan, or (b) reducing the yield or rate of return of Lender on the Loan, to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for the adoption or modification of any such requirements, Borrower shall, within fifteen (15) days of any request by Lender, pay to Lender such additional amounts as (in Lender’s sole judgment, after good faith and reasonable computation) will compensate Lender for such increase in costs or reduction in yield or rate of return of Lender (a “Consequential Loss”). No failure by Lender to immediately demand payment of any additional amounts payable hereunder shall constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to demand payment of such amounts at any subsequent time. Nothing herein contained shall be construed or so operate as to require Borrower to pay any interest, fees, costs or charges greater than is permitted by applicable Law.
(ii) All payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, reserves or withholdings imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authorities, which are imposed, enacted or become effective on or after the date hereof (such non-excluded taxes being referred to collectively as “Foreign Taxes”), excluding (a) taxes imposed on or measured by a Person’s overall net income (however denominated), and franchise taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income taxes), by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such recipient is organized or in which its principal office is located or, in the case of any Lender, in which its applicable lending office is located; (b) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States or any similar tax imposed by any
-51-
other jurisdiction in which Borrower is located; and (c) in the case of a Foreign Lender, any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to such Foreign Lender at the time such Foreign Lender becomes a party thereto (or designates a new lending office) or is attributable to such Foreign Lender’s failure or inability (other than as a result of a change in law) to comply withSection 2.3(f)(iii) hereof, except to the extent that such Foreign Lender was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office, to receive additional amounts from Borrower with respect to such withholding tax pursuant toSection 2.3(f)(ii) hereof or if at the time such Foreign Lender was assigned its interest in the obligations hereunder, such Foreign Lender’s assignor was entitled to receive additional amounts from Borrower with respect to such withholding tax pursuant toSection 2.3(f)(ii) hereof; and (d) any interest, penalties, or additions to taxes described in clauses (a) through (c). If any Foreign Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender hereunder and such Foreign Taxes are not a result of activities of Lender unrelated to the Loan or Borrower, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all Foreign Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any Foreign Tax is payable pursuant to applicable law by Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt, if available, or certified copy thereof showing payment of such Foreign Tax. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender which may result from any failure by Borrower to pay any such Foreign Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority of which Lender shall have provided Borrower with prior written notice, if possible, or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence. Lender’s inability to notify Borrower of any such Foreign Tax in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall in no way relieve Borrower of its obligations under thisSection 2.3(f)(ii).
(iii) If Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any Foreign Taxes with respect to payments under this Agreement, Lender shall deliver to Borrower, at the time or times as reasonably requested by Borrower in writing, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to thisSection 2.3(f) for any Foreign Taxes to the extent that such Foreign Taxes result from a failure to comply with the requirements of this paragraph. In the event that Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender, shall deliver to Borrower, in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient, on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender (or, as applicable, on or prior to the date on which any participant of such Foreign Lender becomes a participant (if such participant wants to be entitled to the rights provided under this provision as though it were a Foreign Lender)) under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrower, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:
(A) duly completed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party;
-52-
(B) duly completed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI;
(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code: (i) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not: (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code; (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code; or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code; and (ii) duly completed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN;
(D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or participating Lender granting a typical participation), executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more beneficial owners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such beneficial owner; or
(E) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
(iv) If Lender determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Foreign Taxes for which indemnification has been demanded hereunder, Lender shall cooperate with Borrower in challenging such Taxes at Borrower’s expense if so requested by Borrower,provided,however, that, Lender shall not be required to participate in any such contest if such contest may expose Lender to any liabilities for any reason whatsoever in connection therewith. If Lender receives a refund of a Foreign Tax for which a payment has been made by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, which refund in the good faith judgment of Lender is attributable to such payment made by Borrower, then Lender shall reimburse Borrower for such amount (together with any interest received thereon) as Lender determines to be the proportion of the refund as will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse position than it would have been in if the payment had not been required. To the extent the use of a certain lending office by Lender has resulted in any Foreign Taxes, increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder, Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate another lending office with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to such circumstances.
-53-
(v) If any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a Loan with the Note Rate being based on LIBOR as contemplated hereunder, (i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make or continue the Loan based on LIBOR or to convert the Loan from the Static LIBOR Rate to the LIBOR Rate shall be canceled forthwith and (ii) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted automatically to a loan bearing interest at the Static LIBOR Rate (the “Static LIBOR Rate Loan”) on the next succeeding Payment Date or within such earlier period as required by law. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to thisSection 2.3(f)(v), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than ninety (90) days written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional costs. Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(vi) In the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:
(A) shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate hereunder,
(B) shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; or
(C) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder;
then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or
-54-
reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material as determined by Lender. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to thisSection 2.3(f)(vi), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than ninety (90) days written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
(vii) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss, cost, expense, penalty, claim or liability, including any loss incurred in obtaining, prepaying, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds from third parties and any loss of yield which Lender sustains or incurs (as determined by Lender in its judgment reasonably exercised) as a consequence of (i) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on a LIBOR Loan, including any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder, (ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the LIBOR Loan that did not include all interest which had accrued (or would have accrued) at the Note Rate through the end of the related Interest Period, including such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder, and (iii) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Note Rate from the LIBOR Rate to the Static LIBOR Rate with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate on a date other than the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period, including such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided Borrower shall not indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of Borrower under this Section shall survive any termination of the Loan Documents and payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall not be waived by any delay by Lender in seeking such compensation. Lender shall have no obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the funding or maintaining of the Loan or any portion thereof.
(viii) Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to thisSection 2.3(f) for any Foreign Taxes, increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder, or any reduced rate of return, which was incurred or which accrued more than one hundred eighty (180) days before the date Lender notified Borrower of the change in law or other circumstance on which such claim of compensation is based and delivered to Borrower a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under thisSection 2.3(f), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.
-55-

(a) Borrower and Maryland Owner will comply in all material respects with the terms and conditions of the Ground Leases (including, but not limited to, the payment of all rent, additional rent, percentage rent and other charges required to be paid under the Ground Leases). Borrower and Maryland Owner will not do or permit anything to be done, the doing of which, or refrain from doing anything, the omission of which, will impair or tend to impair the security of the Individual Property leased to Borrower or Maryland Owner under any Ground Lease or will be grounds for declaring a forfeiture of any Ground Lease.

(f) Unless Lender shall otherwise consent, each of Borrower and Maryland Owner shall exercise its rights under the Ground Lease and applicable law to ensure that the fee title and the leasehold estate in each Individual Property subject to a Ground Lease shall not merge but shall always be kept separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of said estates either in Ground Lessor or in a Borrower, Maryland Owner, or in a third party, by purchase or otherwise except in a Ground Lease Buyout in connection with which Borrower and Maryland Owner, as applicable, have delivered an amendment to the related Mortgage spreading the lien of the Mortgage over the fee interests and providing title insurance coverage related to the priority of the lien of the Mortgage over such interest, each of which shall be acceptable to Lender.
(g) Upon acquisition of the fee title or any other estate, title or interest in any Individual Property subject to a Ground Lease, the related Mortgage shall, to the extent permitted under applicable law in the state the affected Individual Property is located, automatically and without the necessity of execution of any other documents, attach to and cover and be a lien upon such other estate so acquired, and such other estate shall be considered as mortgaged, assigned and conveyed to Lender and the lien hereof spread to cover such estate with the same force and effect as though specifically herein mortgaged, assigned and conveyed and if any of the foregoing are not permitted under applicable law in the state the Individual Property is located, each of Borrower and Maryland Owner, as applicable, shall, prior to such acquisition, execute and deliver to Lender a Mortgage or similar security instrument covering such fee or other interest acquired by Borrower or Maryland Owner and provide title insurance coverage related to the priority of the lien of such Mortgage or other security instrument over such interest, each of which shall be acceptable to Lender.

-100-
such applicable deadline to extend is prior to the latest Extended Maturity Date that may occur with respect to the Loan) after demand by Lender made at any time within one (1) year after the last day upon which any such option may be exercised, and Borrower and Maryland Owner each hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact to exercise any such option in the name of and upon behalf of Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, to so exercise such option if Borrower or Maryland Owner fails to exercise the same as herein required, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest.
(j) Each Lease of space at any Individual Property subject to a Ground Lease hereafter made and each renewal of any existing Lease (or any other Lease as may be required by the Ground Lease) shall provide that, (i) in the event of the termination of the related Ground Lease, the Lease shall not terminate or be terminable by the lessee; (ii) in the event of any action for the foreclosure of the related Mortgage, the Lease shall not terminate or be terminable by the subtenant by reason of the termination of the Ground Lease unless the lessee is specifically named and joined in any such action and unless a judgment is obtained therein against the lessee; and (iii) in the event that the related Ground Lease is terminated as aforesaid, the lessee under the Lease shall attorn to the lessee under such Ground Lease or to the purchaser at the sale of the related Individual Property on such foreclosure, as the case may be.

Each of Borrower and Maryland Owner shall notify Lender promptly (and in any event within five (5) days) of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of any Ground Lease. In connection with any Bankruptcy Proceeding where Ground Lessor is the debtor, Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as each Borrower’s and Maryland Owner’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with the power to file and prosecute, to the exclusion of each Borrower and Maryland Owner during an Event of Default, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any case in respect of such Ground Lessor pursuant to such Bankruptcy Proceeding. A Borrower or Maryland Owner may make any compromise or settlement in connection with such proceedings (subject to Lender’s reasonable approval);provided,however, that Lender shall be authorized and entitled to compromise or settle any such proceeding if such compromise or settlement is made after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. The applicable Borrower or Maryland Owner shall promptly execute and deliver to Lender any and all instruments reasonably required in connection with any such proceeding after a reasonably timely request therefor by Lender. Except as set forth above, no Borrower or Maryland Owner shall adjust, compromise, settle or enter into any agreement with respect to such proceedings without the prior written consent of Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

(m) If pursuant to Section 365(h)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, any Borrower or Maryland Owner seeks to offset against the rent reserved in any Ground Lease the amount of any damages caused by the non-performance by the Ground Lessor of any of the Ground Lessor’s
-101-
obligations under the related Ground Lease after the rejection by the Ground Lessor of such Ground Lease pursuant to a Bankruptcy Proceeding, such Borrower or Maryland Owner shall, prior to effecting such offset, notify Lender of its intention to do so, setting forth the amounts proposed to be so offset and the basis therefor. If Lender has failed to object as aforesaid within ten (10) days after notice from a Borrower or Maryland Owner in accordance with the first sentence of thissubsection (m) (or such shorter period of time as may be necessary to timely assert such offset so long as the inability to afford Lender ten (10) days’ notice was not due to Borrower’s or Maryland Owner’s delay), Borrower or Maryland Owner may proceed to effect such offset in the amounts set forth in such Borrower’s or Maryland Owner’s notice. Neither Lender’s failure to object as aforesaid nor any objection or other communication between Lender and a Borrower or Maryland Owner relating to such offset shall constitute an approval of any such offset by Lender. Borrower and Maryland Owner shall indemnify and save Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, damages, losses, costs and expenses of every nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising from or relating to any such offset by a Borrower or Maryland Owner against the rent reserved in any Ground Lease.
(n) If, during the continuance of an Event of Default, any action, proceeding, motion or notice shall be commenced or filed in respect of an Individual Property that is subject to a Ground Lease in connection with any Bankruptcy Proceeding, Lender shall have the option, to the exclusion of Borrower or Maryland Owner that is the lessee under such Ground Lease, exercisable upon notice from Lender to Borrower or Maryland Owner, to conduct and control any such litigation with counsel of Lender’s choice. Lender may proceed in its own name or in the name of the applicable Borrower or Maryland Owner in connection with any such litigation, and such Borrower or Maryland Owner agrees to execute any and all powers, authorizations, consents and other documents required by Lender in connection therewith. Borrower and Maryland Owner shall pay to Lender all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) paid or incurred by Lender in connection with the prosecution or conduct of any such proceedings within five (5) days after notice from Lender setting forth such costs and expenses in reasonable detail. Any such costs or expenses not paid by Borrower or Maryland Owner as aforesaid shall be secured by the lien of the Mortgage, shall be added to the principal amount of the Debt and shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate. No Borrower or Maryland Owner shall commence any action, suit, proceeding or case, or file any application or make any motion, in respect of any Ground Lease in any such Bankruptcy Proceeding without the prior written consent of Lender.
(o) Borrower or Maryland Owner that is the lessee under the related Ground Lease shall promptly, after obtaining knowledge thereof, notify Lender of any filing by or against any Ground Lessor of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Creditors’ Rights Laws.

The applicable Borrower or Maryland Owner shall promptly deliver to Lender following receipt any and all notices, summonses, pleadings, applications and other documents received by such Borrower or Maryland Owner in connection with any such petition and any proceedings relating thereto.
-102-
(p) If there shall be filed by or against any Borrower or Maryland Owner a petition under the Bankruptcy Code, and Borrower or Maryland Owner, as the tenant under any Ground Lease, shall determine to reject the Ground Lease to which it is a party pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, then such Borrower or Maryland Owner shall give Lender not less than ten (10) days’ prior notice of the date on which such Borrower or Maryland Owner shall apply to the bankruptcy court for authority to reject such Ground Lease(s). Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon such Borrower or Maryland Owner within such ten (10)- day period a notice stating that (i) Lender demands that such Borrower or Maryland Owner assume and assign the Ground Lease(s) to Lender pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) Lender covenants to cure or provide adequate assurance of prompt cure of all defaults and provide adequate assurance of future performance under such Ground Lease(s). If Lender serves upon any Borrower or Maryland Owner the notice described in the preceding sentence, the applicable Borrower or Maryland Owner shall not seek to reject such Ground Lease(s) and shall comply with the demand provided for inclause (i) of the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the notice shall have been given, subject to the performance by Lender of the covenant provided for inclause (ii) of the preceding sentence.
(q) Neither Borrower nor Maryland Owner shall select or approve any Person to act as “insurance trustee” or other depositary that holds Proceeds or Awards without first obtaining the prior written consent of Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld).
(r) Within twenty (20) days’ after receipt of written demand by Lender, but in no event more than two (2) times in any calendar year, Borrower and Maryland Owner shall use reasonable efforts to obtain from Ground Lessor under each Ground Lease and furnish to Lender an estoppel certificate of Ground 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;provided,however, that “reasonable efforts” in this clause (r) shall not include the payment of any separate fee by Borrower or Maryland Owner to Ground Lessor in connection with any such estoppel certificate.

(ii) the Policies shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby), canceled or non-renewed without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured;
(iii) the owner thereof will endeavor to give written notice to Lender if the Policies have not been renewed twenty (20) days prior to its expiration; however, at all times Borrower and Maryland Owner will have “all risk” property insurance policies in place covering full replacement costs of the Individual Property;
(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder; and
(v) any claim or defense the insurance company may have against Borrower or Maryland Owner to deny payment of any claim by Borrower or Maryland Owner thereunder shall not be effective against Lender (and affirmatively providing that the insurance company will pay the proceeds of such Policies to Lender notwithstanding any claim or defense of the insurance company against Lender) and such Policies shall also contain a standard “Waiver of Subrogation” endorsement.
(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right without written notice to Borrower or Maryland Owner, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in any Individual Property, including obtaining such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower and Maryland Owner to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(g) Borrower further covenants and agrees that Borrower shall exercise whatever right it has to cause each Manager (or any successor Managers) to maintain at all times during the term of the Loan worker’s compensation insurance as required by Governmental Authorities,provided,however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, at all times each Individual Property shall at all times comply with applicable Legal Requirements relating to the maintenance of any such insurance at each such Individual Property.
(h) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent that the Policies relating to an Individual Property are maintained by a Manager on the date hereof, and such Manager continues after the date hereof to maintain the same or better (as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion) insurance coverage for such Individual Properties under the related Policies that exists on the date hereof, such Policies shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of thisSection 8.1, subject, however, to Lender’s right to require other insurance pursuant toSection 8.1(a)(x).
-128-
Section 8.2Casualty.
If an Individual Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower and Maryland Owner shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the related Individual Property in accordance withSection 8.4, whether or not Lender makes any Net Proceeds available pursuant toSection 8.4. Borrower (or Maryland Owner, as applicable) shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower (or Maryland Owner, as applicable). Borrower and, to the extent required under the applicable Management Agreement, the Manager, shall adjust all claims for Insurance Proceeds in consultation with, and approval of, Lender;provided,however, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have the exclusive right (as between Borrower and Lender) to participate in the adjustment of all claims for Insurance Proceeds.
Section 8.3Condemnation.
Borrower and Maryland Owner shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of any Individual Property of which any Borrower or Maryland Owner has knowledge and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower and Maryland Owner shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Each of Borrower and Maryland Owner shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower and Maryland Owner shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If an Individual Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower and Maryland Owner shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the related Individual Property and otherwise comply with the provisions ofSection 8.4, whether or not Lender makes any Net Proceeds available pursuant toSection 8.4. If any Individual Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
Section 8.4Restoration.
The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:
(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than the applicable Restoration Threshold and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the applicable Restoration Threshold, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower and Maryland Owner upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth inSection 8.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower and Maryland Owner deliver to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
-129-
(b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the applicable Restoration Threshold or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than the applicable Restoration Threshold, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of thisSection 8.4. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of thisSection 8.4 means: (y) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant toSection 8.1(a)(i),(iv),(vi),(vii) and(viii) as a result of a Casualty, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same (the “Insurance Proceeds”), or (z) the net amount of the Award as a result of a Condemnation of any Individual Property, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same (the “Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.
(i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to the applicable Borrower or Maryland Owner, as the case may be, for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:
(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the affected Individual Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of a Casualty and the amount of damage does not exceed thirty percent (30%) of such Individual Property’s fair market value immediately prior to the occurrence of such Casualty, or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting such Individual Property is taken, such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of such Individual Property, no portion of the Improvements is taken and the taking does not exceed ten percent (10%) of such Individual Property’s fair market value immediately prior to the occurrence of such taking;
(C) (i) the Franchise Agreement for the affected Individual Property, if any, shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration without a reduction in any amounts payable to, or an increase in any amount payable by, Borrower in connection therewith and (ii) the Management Agreement for the affected Individual Property shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration without a reduction in any amount payable to, or an increase in any amount payable by, Borrower in connection therewith;
-130-
(D) Borrower and Maryland Owner shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than the later to occur of (1) the date on which all approvals from applicable Governmental Authorities have been obtained (or would have been obtained had Borrower diligently pursued obtaining the same) and (2) sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;
(E) Lender shall be satisfied, before Restoration commences and at the time of each disbursement of Net Proceeds, that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to such Individual Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of the insurance coverage referred to inSection 8.1(a)(iii) above and to the extent the related Manager carries such insurance, the applicable Manager acknowledges in writing that Borrower is entitled to receive such amounts from such insurance and that Manager will disburse the same to Borrower without qualification, the Award, or other funds of Borrower which shall be deposited by Borrower with Lender prior to the disbursement by Lender of any Net Proceeds;
(F) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) four (4) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases, the applicable Management Agreement, the applicable Franchise Agreement (if any) or any Permitted Encumbrance affecting such Individual Property, (3) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation, or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to inSection 8.1(a)(iii);
(G) such Individual Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all Legal Requirements (including any waivers or variances therefrom obtained by Borrower and reasonably approved by Lender);
(H) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower and Maryland Owner in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements (including any waivers or variances therefrom obtained by Borrower and reasonably approved by Lender);
(I) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to such Individual Property or the Improvements;
(J) Borrower or Maryland Owner, as the case may be, shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be acceptable to Lender; and
-131-
(K) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower or Maryland Owner, as the case may be, with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable judgment to cover the cost of the Restoration.
Notwithstanding anything in thisSection 8.4(b)(i) to the contrary, to the extent that a Marriott Management Agreement (or any other Management Agreement approved by Lender that contains similar provisions) specifically requires (and such requirement has not been waived for the benefit of Lender) that the Loan Documents contain a provision whereby Lender agrees that the Net Proceeds will be permitted to be used for Restoration of the applicable Individual Property managed by a Marriott Manager (the “Marriott Mandated Restoration”), Lender hereby agrees that for such Individual Properties subject to Marriott Mandated Restoration, Lender will permit the Net Proceeds to be used for Restoration to the extent that the other applicable provisions of thisSection 8.4 are satisfied with respect to disbursement conditions or otherwise. If a Marriott Mandated Restoration is not applicable to an Individual Property, this paragraph shall not apply.
(ii) In the case of casualty losses exceeding one million dollars ($1,000,000), the Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender until disbursements commence, and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of thisSection 8.4, shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all the conditions precedent to such advance, including those set forth inSection 8.4(b)(i), have been satisfied, (B) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the related Restoration item have been paid for in full, and (C) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the related Individual Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Restructuring Title Insurance Policy Endorsements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in thisSection 8.4, but without limiting Borrower’s obligations herein to repair and restore the applicable Individual Property following any casualty (including as set forth inSection 8.2), in the event of a casualty loss of one million dollars ($1,000,000) or less, Net Proceeds shall be distributed to Borrower, and immediately thereafter by Borrower to Mezzanine 1 Borrower, by Mezzanine 1 Borrower to Mezzanine 2 Borrower, and by Mezzanine 2 Borrower to Mezzanine 3 Borrower and into the Working Capital Reserve (or if the Mezzanine 3 Loan has been fully repaid, to the Mezzanine Borrower that has established a replacement Working Capital Reserve pursuant to the terms of the applicable Mezzanine Loan Agreement for deposit into such replacement Working Capital Reserve).
(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender, if retained by Lender in its sole discretion (the “Restoration Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and
-132-
specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts in excess of $500,000 under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Restoration Consultant, if any. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Restoration Consultant’s fees, if any, shall be paid by Borrower and Maryland Owner.
(iv) In no event shall Lender 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 Restoration Consultant, if any, minus the Restoration Retainage. The term “Restoration Retainage” means 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 Restoration Consultant, if any, until the Restoration shall have been completed. The Restoration Retainage shall be reduced to five percent (5%) of the costs incurred upon receipt by Lender of satisfactory evidence that fifty percent (50%) of the Restoration has been completed. The Restoration Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in thisSection 8.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Restoration Retainage shall not be released until the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of thisSection 8.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the related Individual Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Restoration Retainage;provided,however, that Lender will release the portion of the Restoration Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender 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 Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender 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 Lender, the release of any such portion of the Restoration 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.
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Restoration Consultant,
-133-
be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Restoration Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower and Maryland Owner shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender 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 thisSection 8.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.
(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of thisSection 8.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be delivered to Lender and applied to the repayment of the Debt.
Notwithstanding anything in thisSection 8.4 to the contrary, if Lender, in its sole discretion, elects not to hire a Restoration Consultant, Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, shall provide an Officer’s Certificate that certifies to such matters to which a Restoration Consultant would otherwise certify pursuant to the provisions of thisSection 8.4.
(c) All Net Proceeds not required to be made available for the Restoration may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper.
(d) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower and Maryland Owner in and to the Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure, Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Insurance Proceeds exceeding one million dollars ($1,000,000) from the Policies required to be maintained by Borrower and Maryland Owner pursuant toSection 8.1(a)(iii) (the “Business Insurance Proceeds”) shall (i) be controlled by Lender at all times, (ii) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents, (iii) not be subject to the provisions ofSection 8.4(c) and (iv) subject to the provisions of this clause (e), be applied in the same manner that revenue and receipts from the Property are applied pursuant toSection 10.2 hereof. In the event that the Business Insurance Proceeds are paid (x) in one lump sum in advance, Lender shall hold such Business Insurance Proceeds in a segregated interest-bearing escrow account, which shall be an Eligible Account pledged to Lender and Lender shall estimate, in Lender’s reasonable discretion, the number of months required for Borrower and Maryland Owner to complete the Restoration caused by the Casualty or Condemnation, shall divide the aggregate Business Insurance Proceeds by such number of months, and shall disburse from such
-134-
bank account each month during the performance of such Restoration such monthly installment of said Business Insurance Proceeds or (y) in a lump sum for a specified number of months in advance, Lender shall hold such Business Insurance Proceeds in a segregated interest-bearing escrow account, which shall be an Eligible Account pledged to Lender and Lender shall divide the aggregate Business Insurance Proceeds by the number of months for which the insurer has paid the Business Insurance Proceeds, and shall disburse from such bank account each month during the performance of such Restoration such monthly installment of said Business Insurance Proceeds (in the case of (x) or (y), such amount, the “Monthly BI Amount”). Lender shall deposit the Monthly BI Amount into the Cash Management Account on each Payment Date during the Restoration. If any Business Insurance Proceeds are received by Borrower, Maryland Owner or Manager, such Business Insurance Proceeds shall be received in trust for Lender, shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower, Maryland Owner or Manager, as the case may be, and shall be applied or paid to Lender in accordance with the terms of thisArticle VIII. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower and Maryland Owner of their obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such Business Insurance Proceeds. Business Insurance Proceeds of one million dollars ($1,000,000) or less shall be distributed to Borrower, and immediately thereafter by Borrower to Mezzanine 1 Borrower, by Mezzanine 1 Borrower to Mezzanine 2 Borrower, and by Mezzanine 2 Borrower to Mezzanine 3 Borrower and into the Working Capital Reserve (or if the Mezzanine 3 Loan has been fully repaid, to the Mezzanine Borrower that has established a replacement Working Capital Reserve pursuant to the terms of the applicable Mezzanine Loan Agreement for deposit into such replacement Working Capital Reserve).
ARTICLE IX
RESERVE FUNDS
Section 9.1Capital Replacement Reserve.
(a) On an ongoing basis throughout the term of the Loan, Borrower and Maryland Owner shall make, or cause the Manager to make Capital Replacements necessary to keep each Individual Property in good order and repair and in a good marketable condition or prevent deterioration of the applicable Individual Property and to keep each Individual Property in compliance with any Management Agreement and Franchise Agreement, all as evidenced to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction. Borrower and Maryland Owner shall complete all Capital Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as commercially reasonable after commencing each such Capital Replacement.
(b) Borrower and Maryland Owner shall establish on the Closing Date an interest bearing sub-account of the Cash Management Account with Lender or Lender’s agent to fund the Capital Replacements (the “Capital Replacement Reserve Account”). On the Closing Date, Borrower and Maryland Owner shall deposit $31,580,000.00 into the Capital Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower and Maryland Owner shall also deposit on or before each Payment Date during the term of the Loan, an amount (the “Capital Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit”) equal to one and seventy-five one hundredths percent (1.75%) of the monthly
-135-
Operating Income for each Individual Property for the calendar month in which such Payment Date occurs as provided in the Annual Budget. In addition, Borrower shall deposit (i) on or before each Payment Date during the term of the Loan an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the aggregate costs and expenses of all Additional Budgeted Capital Replacements that will be payable during the calendar year in which such Payment Date occurs with respect to each Individual Property (the “Additional Budgeted Capital Replacement Monthly Deposit”), and (ii) within the time period required by the applicable Franchisor under its Franchise Agreement an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate costs and expenses of all Additional Franchisor Required Capital Replacements when required by such Franchisor. In addition, on each Payment Date occurring in January, April, July, and October during the term of the Loan (each, a “Reconciliation Date”), Borrower and Maryland Owner shall deposit an amount (if positive) equal to the difference of (y) one and seventy-five one hundredths percent (1.75%) of the monthly Operating Income for each Individual Property as set forth in the monthly operating statements actually delivered by Borrower prior to such Reconciliation Date underSection 5.11 for each Individual Property, less (z) the sum of all Capital Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposits that have been made for the months covered by such monthly operating statements actually delivered by Borrower prior to such Reconciliation Date (such positive difference, if any, the “Capital Replacement Reserve Reconciliation Deposit”). Any Capital Replacement Reserve Reconciliation Deposit shall be made by Borrower from funds in the Borrower Residual Account (including the Working Capital Reserve), the Excess Funds Reserve Account, or the Excess Funds Separate Account, and shall not be allocated from funds in the Cash Management Account pursuant toSection 10.2(b). If as of any Reconciliation Date, the amounts in clause (z) of the immediately preceding sentence are greater than the amounts in clause (y) of the immediately preceding sentence, that difference (the “Capital Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit Credit”) will be credited against future Capital Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposits and Additional Budgeted Capital Replacement Monthly Deposits next due hereunder, dollar-for-dollar, until the aggregate amount of the credits against such Capital Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposits and/or Additional Budgeted Capital Replacement Monthly Deposits equals the amount of such Capital Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit Credit. The Capital Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit, the Additional Budgeted Capital Replacement Monthly Deposit, any funds delivered to the Capital Replacement Reserve Account to pay the costs and expenses of any Additional Franchisor Required Capital Replacements, any Capital Replacement Reserve Reconciliation Deposits, and any other funds in the Capital Replacement Reserve Account, together with any interest accrued thereon, are referred to collectively herein as the “Capital Replacement Reserve Funds”. Promptly following any written request from Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender written evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender regarding any Additional Franchisor Required Capital Replacements, and the costs and expenses thereof, and any Additional Budgeted Capital Replacements, and the costs and expenses thereof.
(c) If any Property Release occurs, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall credit against future Capital Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposits and Additional Budgeted Capital Replacement Monthly Deposits next due underSection 9.1(b), dollar-for-dollar, that portion of the balance, if any, of the Capital Replacement Reserve Funds attributable to the Individual Property that is the subject of the Property Release (or Borrower may elect upon written notice to Lender to utilize such portion of the balance as a Voluntary Prepayment hereunder).
-136-
Section 9.2FF&E Replacement Reserve.
(a) On an ongoing basis throughout the term of the Loan, Borrower and Maryland Owner shall make, or cause the Manager to make FF&E Replacements necessary to keep each Individual Property in good order and repair and in a good marketable condition or prevent deterioration of the applicable Individual Property and to keep each Individual Property in compliance with any Management Agreement and Franchise Agreement, all as evidenced to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction. Borrower and Maryland Owner shall complete all FF&E Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as commercially reasonable after commencing to make each such Replacement.
(b) Borrower and Maryland Owner shall establish on the Closing Date an interest bearing sub-account of the Cash Management Account with Lender or Lender’s agent to fund the FF&E Replacements (the “FF&E Replacement Reserve Account”, collectively with the Capital Replacement Reserve Account, the “Replacement Reserve Accounts” and each individually a “Replacement Reserve Account”). On the Closing Date, Borrower and Maryland Owner shall deposit $7,439,838.12 in the FF&E Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower and Maryland Owner shall also deposit on or before each Payment Date during the term of the Loan, an amount (the “FF&E Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit”) equal to the difference between (i) four percent (4%) of the monthly Operating Income for each Individual Property for the calendar month in which such Payment Date occurs as provided in the Annual Budget, less (ii) the amount actually deposited into the reserve accounts relating to FF&E Replacements maintained by the Managers that are not Affiliated Managers under the respective Management Agreements during such calendar month provided that such reserve accounts continue to be held and maintained in accordance with the Reserve Account Control Agreement. Borrower and Maryland Owner shall also deposit within the time period required by a Franchisor under its Franchise Agreement the difference between (1) an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate costs and expenses of all Additional Franchisor Required FF&E Replacements when required by such Franchisor, less (2) the amount actually deposited into the reserve accounts relating to the aggregate costs and expenses of all Additional Franchisor Required FF&E Replacements maintained by the Managers that are not Affiliated Managers under the respective Management Agreements provided that such reserve accounts continue to be held and maintained in accordance with the Reserve Account Control Agreements (the “Manager Additional FF&E Escrows”). In addition, on each Reconciliation Date, Borrower and Maryland Owner shall deposit an amount (if positive) equal to the difference of (y) four percent (4.0%) of the monthly Operating Income for each Individual Property as set forth in the monthly operating statements actually delivered by Borrower prior to such Reconciliation Date underSection 5.11 for each Individual Property, less (z) the sum of all FF&E Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposits that have been made for the months covered by such monthly operating statements actually delivered by Borrower prior to such Reconciliation Date (such positive difference, if any, the “FF&E Replacement Reserve Reconciliation Deposit”). Any FF&E Replacement Reserve Reconciliation Deposit shall be made by Borrower from funds in the Borrower Residual Account (including the Working Capital Reserve), the Excess Funds Reserve Account, or the Excess Funds Separate Account, and shall not be allocated from funds in the Cash Management Account pursuant toSection 10.2(b). If as of any Reconciliation Date, the amounts in clause (z) of the immediately preceding sentence are greater than the amounts in clause (y) of the immediately preceding sentence, that difference (the “FF&E Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit Credit”)
-137-
will be credited against future FF&E Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposits next due hereunder, dollar-for-dollar, until the aggregate amount of the credits against such FF&E Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposits equals the amount of such FF&E Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit Credit. The FF&E Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit, any funds delivered to the FF&E Replacement Reserve Account to pay the costs and expenses of any Additional Franchisor Required FF&E Replacements, any FF&E Replacement Reserve Reconciliation Deposits, and any other funds in the FF&E Replacement Reserve Account, together with any interest accrued thereon, are referred to collectively herein as the “FF&E Replacement Reserve Funds” and collectively with the Capital Replacement Reserve Funds, the “Replacement Reserve Funds”. Promptly following any written request from Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender written evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender regarding any Additional Franchisor Required FF&E Replacements and the costs and expenses thereof, and any reserves maintained by any Managers regarding FF&E Replacements, including the Manager Additional FF&E Escrows.
(c) If any Property Release occurs, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall credit against future FF&E Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposits next due underSection 9.2(b), dollar-for-dollar, that portion of the balance, if any, of the FF&E Replacement Reserve Funds attributable to the Individual Property that is the subject of the Property Release (or Borrower may elect upon written notice to Lender to utilize such portion of the balance as a Voluntary Prepayment hereunder).
Section 9.3Ground Rent Reserve Fund.
(a) Borrower shall establish on the Closing Date a sub-account of the Cash Management Account for the deposit of funds to be used to pay ground rents under any Ground Lease (the “Ground Rent Reserve Account”). Borrower shall deposit into the Ground Rent Reserve Account on or before each Payment Date during the term of the Loan, the following (collectively, the “Ground Rent Monthly Deposit”): an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual rents (and other amounts) due under each Ground Lease, or such higher amount reasonably determined by Lender to be necessary in order to pay all installments of rent (and other amounts) as and when due under each Ground Lease, but excluding any annual rents or other amounts under any Ground Lease to the extent actually escrowed for, and paid directly, by Manager pursuant to the requirements of the related Management Agreement (the “Manager Ground Rent Escrows”). All such payments with respect to each Ground Lease, less disbursements thereof pursuant hereto, are referred to as the “Ground Rent Reserve Funds”. Promptly following any written request from Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender written evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender regarding (i) the amounts to be deposited in the Ground Rent Reserve Account, and (ii) any Manager Ground Rent Escrows.
(b) Lender will apply the Ground Rent Reserve Funds to payments of ground rent required to be made by Borrower under each Ground Lease as the same become due, or to reimburse Borrower for such amounts upon presentation of evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall direct Lender in writing as to the amount of each monthly payment that needs to be paid to each applicable Ground Lessor. In making any payment relating to the Ground Rent Reserve Funds, Lender may do so in good faith according to any bill or statement procured from the Ground Lessor under each Ground Lease, without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill or statement or estimate or into the validity of any claim by such Ground
-138-
Lessor. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the portion of the Ground Rent Reserve Funds allocable to any Ground Lease is not or will not be sufficient to pay the ground rent pursuant to each Ground Lease next coming due, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase the amount of the Ground Rent Monthly Deposit by the amount that Lender reasonably estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the ground rent due under each Ground Lease.
(c) If any Property Release occurs, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may direct Lender to either (i) cause to be applied in the order and manner described inSection 10.2(b) that portion of the balance, if any, of the Ground Rent Reserve Funds attributable to the Individual Property that is the subject of the Property Release, or (ii) utilize such portion of the balance as a Voluntary Prepayment hereunder.
Section 9.4Required Work.
(a) Borrower and Maryland Owner shall diligently pursue all Capital Replacements and FF&E Replacements (collectively, the “Required Work”) to completion in accordance withSection 9.1(a),Section 9.2(a), and the following requirements:
(b) With the exception of contracts set forth onSchedule XVI, Lender reserves the right, at its option upon notice to Borrower and Maryland Owner, to approve all contracts or work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials in connection with the Required Work to the extent such contracts or work orders exceed $500,000 but specifically excluding “soft cost” contracts, including project managers, architects, designers, and purchasing agents. Borrower shall submit any request for approval under thisSection 9.4(b) in writing, with all information reasonably required by Lender in order to adequately review such request, and with a legend in bold letters stating “REQUEST FOR APPROVAL. FAILURE TO RESPOND MAY RESULT IN DEEMED APPROVAL”. If Lender fails to respond to such request within five (5) Business Days after Lender’s receipt thereof, then Borrower shall submit a second request to Lender for approval, which request shall again include all information reasonably required by Lender in order to adequately review such request, and contain a legend in bold letters stating “REQUEST FOR APPROVAL. REQUEST DEEMED APPROVED IF NO RESPONSE WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS”. If Lender shall fail to approve, disapprove or otherwise respond to such second request for approval within the applicable five (5) Business Days after Lender’s receipt thereof, Lender shall be deemed to have approved such contract or work order. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign any such contract to Lender.
(c) In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Required Work is not being or has not been performed in a workmanlike or timely manner, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Required Work and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Required Work and to apply the Capital Replacement Reserve Funds or the FF&E Replacement Reserve Funds, as applicable, toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Required Work, upon notice to Borrower and Manager and, if an Event of Default then exists, to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.
-139-
(d) In order to facilitate Lender’s completion of the Required Work, each of Borrower and Maryland Owner grants Lender the right to enter onto the applicable Individual Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete the Required Work and/or employ security personnel to protect each Individual Property from damage. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Capital Replacement Reserve Account or FF&E Replacement Reserve Account, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. For this purpose each of Borrower and Maryland Owner constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the Required Work in the name of Borrower and/or Maryland Owner upon Borrower’s or Maryland Owner’s failure to do so in a workmanlike and timely manner. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Borrower and Maryland Owner empowers said attorney-in-fact as follows: (i) to use any of the Capital Replacement Reserve Funds and FF&E Replacement Reserve Funds for the purpose of making or completing the Required Work; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to the Required Work as shall be necessary or desirable to complete the Required Work; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against such Individual Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the Required Work, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower or Maryland Owner which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with any Individual Property or the rehabilitation and repair of any Individual Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower or Maryland Owner might do on its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Nothing in thisSection 9.4 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing the Required Work; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Capital Replacement Reserve Funds for Capital Replacements or the FF&E Replacement Reserve Funds for FF&E Replacements; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with the Required Work; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower or Maryland Owner additional sums to make or complete any Required Work.
(f) Borrower and Maryland Owner shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties performing Required Work pursuant to thisSection 9.4 to enter onto the applicable Individual Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of Tenants under their Leases, to the terms of any Management Agreements and to the reasonable rights of hotel guests) to inspect the progress of any Required Work and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Required Work which are or may be kept at such Individual Property, and to complete any Required Work made pursuant to thisSection 9.4. Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender and Lender’s representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in thisSection 9.4 or the completion of Required Work pursuant to thisSection 9.4.
(g) Lender may, to the extent any Required Work would reasonably require an inspection of any Individual Property, inspect such Individual Property at Borrower’s expense, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, prior to making a disbursement of the Reserve
-140-
Funds in order to verify completion of the Required Work for which reimbursement is sought. Borrower shall pay Lender a reasonable inspection fee not exceeding $500 for each such inspection. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of the Capital Replacement Reserve Funds or FF&E Replacement Reserve Funds, as applicable. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.
(h) The Required Work and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any Required Work shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic’s, materialman’s or other Liens (except for Permitted Encumbrances).
(i) Before any disbursement of the Replacement Reserve Funds in excess of $100,000 for any Individual Property, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic’s or materialmen’s or other Liens of any nature have been placed against the related Individual Property since the date of recordation of the Mortgage and that title to the related Individual Property is free and clear of all Liens (except for Permitted Encumbrances).
(j) All Required Work shall comply with all Legal Requirements and applicable insurance requirements including applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.
(k) Borrower and Maryland Owner hereby assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower and Maryland Owner may have against all Persons supplying labor or materials in connection with the Required Work;provided,however, that Lender may not pursue any such rights or claims unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
Section 9.5Release of Funds for Capital Replacements and FF&E Replacements.
(a) Upon written request from Borrower from time to time and the satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Agreement, Lender shall disburse Replacement Reserve Funds, and other Reserve Funds, in order to pay the actual costs of Required Work. For the avoidance of doubt, Lender acknowledges that (i) Capital Replacement Reserve Funds may be used to pay the costs of Capital Replacements or FF&E Replacements, and that FF&E Replacement Reserve Funds may be used to pay the costs of Capital Replacements or FF&E Replacements, provided all conditions to the release of any such funds set forth in this Agreement are fully satisfied, and (ii) disbursements of Replacement Reserve Funds, and other Reserve Funds, in order to pay the actual costs of Required Work as provided in thisSection 9.5 may be reimbursements to Borrower of amounts previously expended by Borrower from the Working Capital Reserve for such Required Work, provided all conditions to the release of any such funds set forth in this Agreement are fully satisfied.
-141-
(b) Each request for disbursement from either of the Replacement Reserve Accounts, or other Reserve Accounts which may be drawn upon by Borrower for the payment of the cost of Capital Replacements or FF&E Replacements pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement, shall be on a form provided or approved by Lender and shall (i) include copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all labor or services provided; (ii) specify to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction (A) the Required Work for which the disbursement is requested, the line item(s) in the Annual Budget referencing same (if applicable), and the specific Reserve Account from which Borrower is requesting disbursement, (B) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if the Required Work includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (C) the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Required Work other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, (D) the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each Required Work for which such request for disbursement is made; and (E) the identity of each Person to which disbursement is being requested; and (iii) certify to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction that (A) reimbursement for the applicable Required Work from the applicable Reserve Account is permitted under the terms of the Management Agreement and Franchise Agreement related to the applicable Individual Property (including a specific reference to any applicable provisions of such Management Agreements and Franchise Agreement); (B) no property-level reserves held by any Manager are available to fund the cost of any of the Capital Replacements and/or FF&E Replacements, as applicable, that form the basis for the disbursement request; and (C) all Required Work has been performed in accordance with all Legal Requirements (or will be performed in accordance with all Legal Requirements if the request for disbursement is made pursuant toSection 9.5(d)). Except as provided inSection 9.5(d), each request for disbursement shall be made only after completion of the applicable Required Work (or the portion thereof completed in accordance withSection 9.5(d)), as applicable, for which disbursement is requested. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment of such completion or performance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Lender be required to disburse Reserve Funds under thisSection 9.5 to pay the cost of any work or items (y) not constituting Required Work, or (z) not approved by Lender in the Annual Budget, or otherwise previously approved by Lender in writing.
(c) Borrower and Maryland Owner shall pay all invoices in connection with the Required Work with respect to which a disbursement is requested prior to submitting such request for disbursement from the applicable Reserve Accounts or, at the request of Borrower and Maryland Owner, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to Borrower or Maryland Owner and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due in connection with the Required Work. In the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien (to the extent applicable Legal Requirements permit an advance waiver of lien) from each Person receiving payment prior to Lender’s disbursement of funds for the payment of Capital Replacements or FF&E Replacements. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower and Maryland Owner to obtain from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than $50,000 for completion of its work or delivery of its materials, lien waivers (to the extent applicable Legal Requirements permit an advance waiver of lien) or, in the event that such advance lien waivers are not obtainable, conditional lien waivers, which conditional lien waivers shall be subject only to the receipt of the funds then being disbursed. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to all Legal Requirements and
-142-
shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the related Individual Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current disbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous request for release of funds for the payment of costs regarding Capital Replacements or FF&E Replacements).
(d) If any contractor or subcontractor performing such Required Work requires an advance periodic payment pursuant to the terms of a written contract, a request for disbursement from the applicable Reserve Accounts may be made for such payment after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided that (i) the contractor or subcontractor is not an Affiliate of Borrower or Manager, (ii) such contract requires a deposit payment upon completion of such portion of work, (iii) the materials for which the request is made with respect to a partial payment are on site at the related Individual Property and are properly secured or have been installed in the related Individual Property, (iv) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, and (v) funds remaining in the applicable Reserve Accounts are, in Lender’s judgment, sufficient to complete the applicable Required Work.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in thisSection 9.5, neither Borrower nor Maryland Owner shall make a request for, nor shall Lender have any obligation to make, (i) any disbursement for Capital Replacements (whether from one or multiple applicable Reserve Accounts that may be used to fund Capital Replacements as explicitly set forth herein) (A) more frequently than once in any calendar month, or (B) in any amount less than $100,000 (except in connection with the final disbursement from such any such Reserve Account); or (ii) disbursement for FF&E Replacements (whether from one or multiple applicable Reserve Accounts that may be used to fund FF&E Replacements as explicitly set forth herein), or (B) in any amount less than $100,000 (except in connection with the final disbursement from such Reserve Account). Without limitation, Lender may accept or reject, in its sole and absolute discretion, any request by Borrower for any disbursements for Capital Replacements or FF&E Replacements in excess of once per month as described in the immediately preceding sentence.
(f) Lender’s disbursement of any funds from Reserve Accounts for Required Work or other acknowledgment of completion of any Required Work in a manner satisfactory to Lender shall not be deemed a certification or warranty by Lender to any Person that the Required Work has been completed in accordance with Legal Requirements.
Section 9.6Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds.
(a) Borrower and Maryland Owner shall establish on the Closing Date an interest bearing sub-account of the Cash Management Account with Lender or Lender’s agent sufficient to discharge Borrower’s and Maryland Owner’s obligations for the payment of Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant toSection 5.4 andSection 8.1 hereof (the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Account”). As of the Closing Date, the amount in the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account is $4,801,540.29, which amount, when added to the required monthly deposits set forth in the next sentence, is sufficient to make the payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums as required herein. Borrower and Maryland Owner shall deposit into the Tax and Insurance
-143-
Reserve Account on or before each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Taxes (excluding Taxes for any Individual Property to the extent actually escrowed for, and paid directly, by (y) a Manager pursuant to the requirements of the related Management Agreement, or (z) provided the Sheraton Annapolis Ground Lessor Estoppel is delivered in the form required under the Post-Closing Obligations Letter, the Ground Lessor of the Sheraton Annapolis Property pursuant to the Ground Lease regarding the Sheraton Annapolis Property) that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months or such higher amount necessary to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to the earlier of (i) the date that the same will become delinquent and (ii) the date that additional charges or interest will accrue due to the non-payment thereof, and (b) (i) if an Event of Default exists or (ii) if Borrower and Maryland Owner fail to maintain insurance pursuant to a blanket insurance policy acceptable to Lender in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement or (iii) a Manager fails to provide the Policies for any Individual Property or fails to escrow for, or pay directly, Insurance Premiums pursuant to the requirements of the related Management Agreement, one-twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof or such higher amount necessary to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds”).

In making any disbursement from the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or tax lien service (with respect to 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. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant toSection 5.4 andSection 8.1 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower and Maryland Owner or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account. In allocating any such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the related Individual Property. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower and Maryland Owner or the Person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the related Individual Property and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower and Maryland Owner of such determination and Borrower and Maryland Owner shall pay to Lender any amount necessary to make up the deficiency within ten (10) days after notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment thereof.
Section 9.7Debt Yield Reserve Account. Borrower and Maryland Owner have established prior to the Closing Date an interest bearing sub-account of the Cash Management Account (the “Debt Yield Reserve Account”) into which Borrower and Maryland Owner hereby agree to deposit amounts hereinafter described after the occurrence and during the
-144-
continuance of an Event of Default, and during any other Cash Sweep Reserve Period, as and when required underSection 9.10 andSection 10.2(b). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Debt Yield Reserve Funds”. The Debt Yield Reserve Funds shall be held by Lender as additional collateral for the Loan. Following the expiration of any Cash Sweep Reserve Period, any Debt Yield Reserve Funds shall be allocated in the order and priority described inSection 10.2(b). Prior to the expiration of any Cash Sweep Reserve Period, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Debt Yield Reserve Account to the applicable Borrower for the payment of Operating Expenses, Capital Replacements, FF&E Replacements, and Approved Corporate Expenses (collectively, the “Debt Yield Reserve Eligible Expenses”), within five (5) Business Days after delivery by the applicable Borrower to Lender of a written request therefor, provided that such written request (a) contains a description satisfactory to Lender of the requested amount and the specific Debt Yield Reserve Eligible Expenses for which such amount is being requested, and (b) is accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate certifying that (i) such Debt Yield Reserve Eligible Expenses are set forth in a Lender-approved Annual Budget or have otherwise been approved by Lender (and specifying the applicable Annual Budget line items, or other Lender approval, as applicable), (ii) such Debt Yield Reserve Eligible Expenses have not been the subject of a previous disbursement from any Reserve Account or Senior Mezzanine Reserve Account (including the Borrower Residual Account and the Working Capital Reserve); (iii) sufficient amounts are not on deposit in any other Reserve Account (including the Borrower Residual Account and the Working Capital Reserve) or Senior Mezzanine Reserve Account for the payment of such Debt Yield Reserve Eligible Expenses (except in the case of a request for funds for the payment of Approved Corporate Expenses, in which event an insufficiency of amounts available to pay same in the Borrower Residual Account or Working Capital Reserve shall not be a condition to Lender disbursing such funds from the Debt Yield Reserve Account to Borrower); (iv) all previous disbursements from the Debt Yield Reserve Account have been or will be used to pay the previously identified approved Debt Yield Reserve Eligible Expenses pursuant to the applicable Annual Budget or other Lender approval; and (v) such Debt Yield Reserve Eligible Expenses have not been, nor will be, paid by the Manager directly.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (y) Lender shall not be obligated to fund any amounts from the Debt Yield Reserve Account more than once per month, nor in increments less than $10,000 for any Operating Expenses, nor in increments less than $100,000 for any Capital Replacements, FF&E Replacements, or Approved Corporate Expenses (except in each case any disbursement that reduces the amount in the Debt Yield Reserve Account to zero, which disbursement may be less than $10,000 or $100,000, respectively), and (z) in no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse more than once per month to pay Operating Expenses, and once per month to pay Approved Corporate Expenses, in each case whether amounts are funded from the Debt Yield Reserve Account, or other Reserve Accounts as provided herein.

Amounts on deposit in the Corporate G&A Expense Reserve Account are referred to as the “Approved Corporate Expense Reserve Funds”. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Approved Corporate Expense Reserve Account to the applicable Borrower Party, within five (5) Business Days after delivery by the applicable Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month and subject toSection 9.7(z) above), in increments of at least $100,000, provided that (i) such disbursement is for Approved Corporate Expenses; and (ii) such disbursement is accompanied by (A) an Officer’s Certificate certifying that (y) such funds will be used to pay Approved Corporate Expenses pursuant to the applicable Annual Budget or other Lender approval, and including description thereof and that the same has not been the subject of a previous disbursement, and (z) that all previous disbursements have been or will be used to pay the previously identified Approved Corporate Expenses pursuant to the applicable Annual Budget or other previous Lender approval, and (B) reasonably detailed documentation reasonably satisfactory to Lender as to the amount, necessity and purpose therefor, including, with respect to any disbursement for the payment of Approved Corporate Taxes, a statement, bill or estimate from the appropriate public office or tax lien service if required by Lender.
Section 9.9Operating Expense Reserve Account.
In the event that any Borrower is subject to a Management Agreement (or shall hereafter enter into a replacement Management Agreement with respect to one or more Properties with Lender’s approval in accordance withSection 5.14), which Management Agreement or replacement Management Agreement does not require that operating expenses be paid by the Manager thereunder from Rents from the affected Individual Property(ies) deposited directly into Manager Account(s), Borrowers shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date the monthly amount set forth in the approved Annual Budget for the calendar month following the month in which such Payment Date occurs for payment of approved Operating Expenses (pursuant to the applicable Annual Budget) at the applicable Individual Property(ies) covered by such Management Agreement or replacement Management Agreement for such month, which amounts shall be transferred into a subaccount of the Cash Management Account for the payment of such approved Operating Expenses (the “Operating Expense Reserve Account”).

-146-
the previously identified approved Operating Expenses pursuant to the applicable Annual Budget or other Lender approval; and (iv) such Operating Expenses have not been, nor will be, paid by the Manager directly.

(the “Excess Funds Separate Account Bank”); (ii) Borrower, Maryland Owner, and Lender shall have entered into a deposit account control agreement reasonably acceptable to Lender (the “Excess Funds Separate Account Control Agreement”), which provides, without limitation, (A) that from and after any Event of Default and delivery of written notice from Lender to Excess Funds Separate Account Bank, Lender shall have exclusive dominion and control of the Excess Funds Separate Account and neither Borrower, Maryland Owner, Manager nor any other party claiming on behalf of, or through, Borrower, Maryland Owner or any Manager, shall have any right of withdrawal therefrom or any other right or power with respect thereto (such that Lender has “control” of the Excess Funds Separate Account as contemplated in Section 9-104 (and similar and related provisions) of the applicable uniform commercial code); (B) that Borrower and Maryland Owner are solely responsible for any fees and expenses to Excess Funds Separate Account Bank in connection with the Excess Funds Separate Account, (C) that Lender has no obligation to indemnify Excess Funds Separate Account Bank in any circumstance whatsoever; and (D) that Borrower and Maryland Owner shall be the owner of all funds on deposit in the Excess Funds Separate Account for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes (except to the extent Lender retains any interest earned on the Excess Funds Separate Account for its own account following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default); (iii) without limiting anything contained in any other Loan Document (including the Mortgage), if requested by Lender, each of Borrower and Maryland Owner shall have reaffirmed its collateral pledge to Lender of all its right, title and interest in and to the Excess Funds Separate Account and all funds therein; (iv) if requested by Lender, Borrower and Maryland Owner shall have delivered to Lender legal opinions in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender regarding the Excess Funds Separate Account Control Agreement; and (v) Borrower shall have paid all reasonable fees and expenses of Lender (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with the Excess Funds Separate Account, the Excess Funds Separate Account Control Agreement, and all of the conditions described in clauses (i) – (iv) of this sentence. Neither Lender nor Agent shall be under any obligation or duty to perform any act in respect of the Excess Funds Separate Account which would involve it in expense or liability or to institute or defend any suit in respect hereof, or to advance any of its own monies. Borrower and Maryland Owner shall indemnify and hold Agent, Lender and their respective directors, employees, officers and agents harmless from and against any loss, cost or damage (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by such parties in connection with the Excess Funds Separate Account and the Excess Funds Separate Account Control Agreement, other than such as result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or Lender. Borrower agrees that all funds drawn from the Excess Funds Separate Account shall be used only to pay Excess Funds Eligible Expenses (and any other use of such funds shall be an Event of Default). Neither Borrower nor Maryland Owner shall, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Excess Funds Separate Account or any funds deposited therein or permit any Lien to attach thereto, except for the security interest granted under the Loan Documents, including the Excess Funds Separate Account Control Agreement, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC financing statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. Borrower and Maryland Owner will maintain the security interest in the Excess Funds Separate Account and all funds therein as a first priority perfected security interest and will defend the right, title and interest of Lender in and to the Excess Funds Separate Account and all funds therein against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever. At any time and from time to time, upon the
-150-
written request of Lender, and at the sole expense of Borrower and Maryland Owner, Borrower and Maryland Owner will promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and will take such further actions as Lender reasonably may request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of the Loan Documents, including the Excess Funds Separate Account Control Agreement, and of the rights and powers therein granted, with respect to the Excess Funds Separate Account and all funds therein.
Section 9.12Reserve Funds Generally.
(a) If the funds in any Reserve Account should exceed the amount of payments actually applied by Lender for the purposes of the account, Lender in its sole discretion shall, in its sole discretion, credit such excess against future payments to be made to that Reserve Account or cause such excess to be deposited in the Cash Management Account. In allocating any such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the Property. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Reserve Funds in any Reserve Account are not or will not be sufficient to make the payments which such Reserve Account was created to make (including any failure by Borrower to fund any Capital Replacement Reserve Reconciliation Deposit or FF&E Replacement Reserve Reconciliation Deposit as and when required under the terms of thisArticle IX), Lender shall notify Borrower and Maryland Owner of such determination and Borrower and Maryland Owner shall pay to Lender for deposit into the applicable Reserve Account any amount necessary to make up the deficiency within ten (10) days after notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment thereof (and any failure to pay such amount within such time period shall be an Event of Default);provided,however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender acknowledges that insufficient amounts in the Additional Payments Reserve Account in order to make any of the payments referenced therein shall not entitle Lender to require Borrower and Maryland Owner to make up the deficiency. The insufficiency of any balance in any of the Reserve Accounts shall not relieve Borrower or Maryland Owner from its obligation to fulfill all covenants in the Loan Documents. Upon payment in full of the Debt, all Reserve Funds remaining on deposit, if any, in any Reserve Account shall be returned to Borrower, Maryland Owner or the Person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the Property and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto.
(b) (i) No earnings or interest on the Cash Management Account or Reserve Accounts shall be payable to Borrower, except that interest or earnings on amounts in Interest Bearing Accounts shall be added to, and treated in the same manner as, the principal amount of such Reserve Accounts as more particularly described below. Neither Lender nor any loan servicer that at any time holds or maintains the non-interest-bearing Cash Management Account shall have any obligation to keep or maintain the Cash Management Account or any funds deposited therein in interest-bearing accounts. If Lender or any such loan servicer elects in its sole and absolute discretion to keep or maintain any non-interest-bearing Cash Management Account or any funds deposited therein in an interest-bearing account, the account shall be an Eligible Account and (A) such funds shall not be invested, and (B) all interest earned or accrued thereon shall be for the account of and be retained by Lender or such loan servicer.
(ii) Interest accruing on the Reserve Accounts shall be periodically added to the principal amount of the Reserve Accounts and shall be held, disbursed and
-151-
applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Sums on deposit in the Reserve Accounts shall not be invested except in Permitted Investments (and Lender, Cash Management Bank or Agent shall be permitted to invest sums on deposit in the Reserve Accounts in Permitted Investments). Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Agent to apply any income earned from Permitted Investments to the respective Reserve Account and all such income (or interest earned on sums maintained in interest bearing accounts) shall be and become part of the applicable Interest Bearing Account and shall be disbursed in accordance with provisions of thisArticle IX governing the release of funds from such account;provided,however, that Lender may, at its election, retain any such interest for its own account during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default. In no event shall Lender, Cash Management Bank or Agent make a Permitted Investment if the maturity date of that Permitted Investment is later than the date on which the invested sums are required for payment of an obligation for which the Reserve Accounts were created. Any actual losses sustained on a liquidation of a Permitted Investment shall be deposited into the Reserve Accounts by Borrower no later than three (3) Business Days following such liquidation (and any failure by Borrower to deliver such funds within such time period shall be an immediate Event of Default). Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to income earned on any funds in any Reserve Account, including from Permitted Investments. In no event shall Lender or any loan servicer that at any time holds or maintains the Interest Bearing Accounts be required to select any particular interest-bearing account or the account that yields the highest rate of interest, or any particular Permitted Investment,provided that selection of any account or Permitted Investment shall be consistent with the general standards at the time being utilized by Lender or the loan servicer, as applicable, in establishing similar accounts, or investing in Permitted Investments, for loans of comparable type. Borrower agrees that it shall include all interest and other earnings on any funds in any Interest Bearing Accounts as the income of Borrower (and, if Borrower is a partnership or other pass-through entity, the partners, members or beneficiaries of Borrower), and shall be the owner of such interest and other earnings in any Interest Bearing Accounts for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes, except to the extent that Lender retains any interest or other earnings for its own account during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default as provided herein.
(c) Borrower hereby grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in, and assigns and pledges to Lender, each of the Reserve Accounts and any and all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited in the Reserve Accounts or the Cash Management Account as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Cash Management Account and the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt. The provisions of thisSection 9.12 are intended to give Lender or any subsequent holder of the Loan “control” of the Cash Management Account within the meaning of the UCC.
-152-
(d) The Cash Management Account, the Reserve Accounts, and all funds now or hereafter deposited in the Cash Management Account or the Reserve Accounts shall be subject to the exclusive dominion and control of Lender, which shall hold any or all funds now or hereafter deposited in the Cash Management Account or the Reserve Accounts subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Borrower shall not have any right of withdrawal from the Cash Management Account or Reserve Accounts or any other right or power with respect to the Cash Management Account the Reserve Account, or any funds therein, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
(e) Lender shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Borrower, without charge, an annual accounting of each Reserve Account in the normal format of Lender or its loan servicer, showing credits and debits to such Reserve Account and the purpose for which each debit to each Reserve Account was made.
(f) As long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall make disbursements from the Cash Management Account and the Reserve Accounts in accordance with this Agreement. All such disbursements shall be deemed to have been expressly pre-authorized by Borrower and shall not be deemed to constitute the exercise by Lender of any remedies against Borrower unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Lender has expressly stated in writing its intent to proceed to exercise its remedies as a secured party, pledgee or lienholder with respect to the Cash Management Account and the Reserve Accounts.
(g) If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Borrower and Maryland Owner shall immediately lose all of its rights to receive disbursements from the Cash Management Account and the Reserve Accounts until the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which Lender has accepted the cure of such Event of Default (in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion), or (ii) the payment in full of the Debt. In addition, at Lender’s election, Borrower and Maryland Owner shall lose all of their rights to receive interest on the Interest Bearing Accounts during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may exercise any or all of its rights and remedies as a secured party, pledgee and lienholder with respect to the Cash Management Account and the Reserve Accounts. Without limitation of the foregoing, upon any Event of Default, Lender may use and disburse any Reserve Funds (or any portion thereof) for any of the following purposes: (A) repayment of the Debt, including principal prepayments; (B) reimbursement of Lender for all losses, fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) suffered or incurred by Lender as a result of such Event of Default; (C) payment of any amount expended in exercising any or all rights and remedies available to Lender at law or in equity or under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents; (D) payment of any item from any of the Cash Management Account and the Reserve Accounts as required or permitted under this Agreement; or (E) any other purpose permitted by applicable law;provided,however, that any such application of funds shall not cure or be deemed to cure any Event of Default. Without limiting any other provisions hereof, each of the remedial actions described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies as a secured party with respect to the Reserve Funds and shall not in any event be deemed to constitute a setoff or a foreclosure of a statutory banker’s lien. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Reserve Funds to effect a cure of any Event of Default, or to pay the Debt, or in any specific order of priority. The exercise of any or all of Lender’s
-153-
rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents shall not in any way prejudice or affect Lender’s right to initiate and complete a foreclosure under the Mortgage.
(h) The Reserve Funds shall not constitute escrow or trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender, provided that any such commingling shall not affect Lender’s obligation to hold funds in interest-bearing accounts to the extent required hereunder. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, Lender may commingle in one or more Eligible Accounts any and all funds controlled by Lender, including funds pledged in favor of Lender by other borrowers, whether for the same purposes as the Cash Management Account, the Reserve Accounts or otherwise. Without limiting any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Cash Management Account and the Reserve Accounts may be established and held in such name or names as Lender or its loan servicer, as agent for Lender, shall deem appropriate, including in the name of Lender or such loan servicer, as agent for Lender. In the case of any Reserve Account which is held in a commingled account, Lender or its loan servicer, as applicable, shall maintain records sufficient to enable it to determine at all times which portion of such account is related to the Loan. The Cash Management Account is solely for the protection of Lender. With respect to the Cash Management Account, Lender shall have no responsibility beyond the allowance of due credit for the sums actually received by Lender or beyond the reimbursement or payment of the costs and expenses for which such accounts were established in accordance with their terms. Upon assignment of the Loan by Lender, any Reserve Funds shall be turned over to the assignee and any responsibility of Lender as assignor shall terminate. The requirements of this Agreement concerning Cash Management Account in no way supersede, limit or waive any other rights or obligations of the parties under any of the Loan Documents or under applicable law.
(i) Neither Borrower nor Maryland Owner shall, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Cash Management Account, the Reserve Accounts or the Reserve Funds deposited therein or permit any Lien to attach thereto, except for the security interest granted in thisSection 9.12, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC financing statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
(j) Borrower and Maryland Owner will maintain the security interest created by thisSection 9.12 as a first priority perfected security interest and will defend the right, title and interest of Lender in and to the Cash Management Account, the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Lender, and at the sole expense of Borrower and Maryland Owner, Borrower and Maryland Owner will promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and will take such further actions as Lender reasonably may request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted.
(k) Lender shall be protected in acting upon any notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other paper, document or signature believed by Lender to be genuine, and it may be assumed conclusively that any Person purporting to give any of the foregoing in connection with the Reserve Accounts and the Cash Management
-154-
Account has been duly authorized to do so. Lender may consult with counsel, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by them hereunder and in good faith in accordance therewith. Lender shall not be liable to Borrower or Maryland Owner for any act or omission done or omitted to be done by Lender in reliance upon any instruction, direction or certification received by Lender and without gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(l) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, Lender shall not have any duty as to any Reserve Funds in its possession or control as agent therefor or bailee thereof or any income thereon or the preservation of rights against any person or otherwise with respect thereto. In no event shall Lender or its Affiliates, agents, employees or bailees, be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Reserve Funds, or for any diminution in value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of Lender, except to the extent that such loss or damage results from Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or intentional nonperformance by Lender of its obligations under this Agreement.
Section 9.13Letter of Credit Provisions.
(a)Security for Debt. Each Letter of Credit delivered under this Agreement, any other Loan Document shall be additional security for the payment of the Debt. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, at its option, to draw on any Letter of Credit and to apply all or any part thereof to the payment of the items for which such Letter of Credit was established or to apply each such Letter of Credit to payment of the Debt in such order, proportion or priority as Lender may determine. If the Debt has not been paid on the Maturity Date, Lender may draw on any such Letter of Credit and the proceeds may be applied to reduce the Debt.
(b)Additional Rights of Lender. In addition to any other right Lender may have to draw upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender shall have the additional rights to draw in full any Letter of Credit: (a) with respect to any evergreen Letter of Credit, if Lender has received a notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (b) with respect to any Letter of Credit with a stated expiration date, if Lender has not received a notice from the issuing bank that it has renewed the Letter of Credit at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (c) upon receipt of notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will be terminated (except if the termination of such Letter of Credit is permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or any other Loan Document or a substitute Letter of Credit is provided); or (d) if Lender has received notice that the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall cease to be an L/C Eligible Institution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the above, Lender is not obligated to draw any Letter of Credit upon the happening of an event specified in (a), (b), (c) or (d) above and shall not be liable for any losses sustained by Borrower or Maryland Owner due to the insolvency of the bank issuing the Letter of Credit if Lender has not drawn the Letter of Credit.

If the amount on deposit in the Cash Management Account is insufficient when required to make all of the withdrawals and allocations required pursuant toSection 10.2(b)(i) (excludingSection 10.2(b)(i)(H)) andSection 10.2(b)(ii) above, then Borrower and Maryland Owner shall deposit such deficiency into the Cash Management Account within five (5) days (provided,however, that such five (5) day period shall not constitute a grace period for any default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document based on a failure to satisfy any monetary obligation provided in any Loan Document). Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that insufficient amounts in the Cash Management Account to pay any amounts referenced inSection 10.2(b)(i) (excludingSection 10.2(b)(i)(H)) andSection 10.2(b)(ii) above, if not remedied within such five (5) day period, shall be an Event of Default.
(d) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower and Maryland Owner hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to make any and all withdrawals from the Cash Management Account in accordance withSection 10.3(c) below. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply funds as stated herein shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.3Security Interest.
(a) To secure the full and punctual payment of the Debt and performance of all obligations of Borrower and Maryland Owner now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower and Maryland Owner hereby grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in the Cash Management Account (including any sub-accounts thereof), and the Reserve Accounts, all interest, cash, checks, drafts, certificates and instruments,
-161-
if any, from time to time deposited or held therein and all “proceeds” (as defined in the New York Uniform Commercial Code) of any or all of the foregoing. Furthermore, neither of Borrower or Maryland Owner shall, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any of the foregoing or permit any Lien to attach thereto or any levy to be made thereon or any UCC financing statements to be filed with respect thereto. Borrower and Maryland Owner will maintain the security interest created by thisSection 10.3(a) as a first priority perfected security interest and will defend the right, title and interest of Lender in and to the Cash Management Account against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.
(b) Each of Borrower and Maryland Owner authorizes Lender to file (without the signature of Borrower or Maryland Owner thereon) any financing statement or statements required by Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest granted herein in connection with the Cash Management Account and the Reserve Accounts. Each of Borrower and Maryland Owner agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of Borrower and Maryland Owner, Borrower and Maryland Owner will promptly and duly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder.
(c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, Lender may exercise any or all of its rights and remedies as a secured party, pledgee and lienholder with respect to the Cash Management Account and the Reserve Accounts. Without limitation of the foregoing, upon any Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, Lender may use the amounts on deposit in the Debt Yield Reserve Account for any of the following purposes: (i) repayment of the Debt, including principal prepayments; (ii) reimbursement of Lender for all losses, fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) suffered or incurred by Lender as a result of such Event of Default; (iii) payment of any amount expended in exercising any or all rights and remedies available to Lender at law or in equity or under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents; (iv) payment of any item as required or permitted under this Agreement; or (v) any other purpose permitted by applicable law;provided,however, that any such application of funds shall not cure or be deemed to cure any Event of Default. Without limiting any other provisions hereof, each of the remedial actions described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies as a secured party with respect to the Cash Management Account and Reserve Account and shall not in any event be deemed to constitute a setoff or a foreclosure of a statutory banker’s lien. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the amounts on deposit in the Cash Management Account or any Reserve Account to effect a cure of any Event of Default, or to pay the Debt, or in any specific order of priority. The exercise of any or all of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents shall not in any way prejudice or affect Lender’s right to initiate and complete a foreclosure under the Mortgage.
(d) To secure the full and punctual payment of the Debt and performance of all obligations of Borrower and Maryland Owner now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower and Maryland Owner hereby grant to Lender a security
-162-
interest in all of Borrower’s and Maryland Owner’s right, title and interest in the Manager Accounts and the Reserve Accounts and all interest, cash, checks, drafts, certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time deposited or held therein and all “proceeds” thereof. Borrower shall not have any right to close the Cash Management Account or any Reserve Account or have any right of withdrawal with respect thereto or right to give directions with respect to the Cash Management Account or any Reserve Account prior to the payment in full of the Debt.
(e) Agent represents, warrants, acknowledges and agrees that (a) the Cash Management Account and the Reserve Accounts (collectively, the “Accounts”) maintained hereunder are subject to the sole dominion, control and discretion of Lender and are Eligible Accounts, (b) Borrower and Maryland Owner shall have no right to close any of the Accounts or have any right of withdrawal with respect thereto or right to give directions with respect to any of the Accounts, (c) Agent shall follow the instructions of Lender with respect to the disposition of any sums in the Accounts without obtaining the consent of Borrower or Maryland Owner, (d) this Agreement constitutes notice of Lender’s security interest in and assignment of the Accounts and Agent hereby consents thereto, (e) for the purposes of §§9-327, 9-328 and 9-339 of the UCC, Agent’s security interest in the Accounts shall be subordinated to, and rank in priority behind the security interest of Lender, (f) Agent is engaged in the business of lending and is a “bank” as defined in §9-102 of the UCC, (g) Agent qualifies as a “securities intermediary” as defined in §8-1020 of the UCC, and (h) no other notices of control, assignment, grant of security interest or lien of any kind in respect of the Accounts are reflected in Agent’s records concerning the Accounts and Agent is looking solely to Borrower and Maryland Owner, and not to Lender, for payment of any sums due underSection 10.2(b)(i)(D)andSection 10.2(b)(ii)(D) hereof. Agent hereby agrees that any such notice of control, assignment, grant of security interest, or lien of any kind in respect of the Accounts that it receives, including the notice conferred by this Agreement, will be recorded in Agent’s records concerning the Accounts and Agent will immediately notify Lender upon receipt thereof. Agent agrees not to allow any Person other than Lender to have control of the Accounts. Agent hereby waives any and all rights it may have at law or otherwise to set off, or make any claim, against the Accounts, except for the payment of Agent’s reasonable fees and expenses for maintenance of the Accounts.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that any of the Accounts is deemed to be a “deposit account” or a “securities account” as such terms are defined in the UCC, then solely for the purposes of the UCC or any federal law or regulation governing the creation or perfection of a security interest:
(i) Each of Borrower and Maryland Owner represents and warrants that each Account is a “deposit account” or, to the extent provided below, a “securities account” (as such terms are defined in the UCC), and Agent represents that it is maintaining each of the Accounts as a deposit account or a securities account, as appropriate; and
(ii) Borrower, Maryland Owner, Lender and Agent agree that Agent will comply with instructions directing disposition of “entitlement orders” (as such term is defined in §8-102 of the UCC) originated by Lender of or with respect to the Accounts, including any amounts or financial assets deposited in or credited to any Account without further consent of Borrower or Maryland Owner. Borrower and Maryland Owner shall at
-163-
any time and from time to time, take such additional steps as Lender may reasonably request for Lender (i) to maintain “control” (within the meaning of §9-104 of the UCC) of each Account to the extent it consists of a “deposit account”, (ii) to maintain “control” (within the meaning of §8-106 of the UCC) of each Account to the extent it consists of a “securities account” and to the financial assets credited thereto, and (iii) to otherwise ensure the continued perfection and priority of Lender’s security interest in and assignment of the Accounts and of the preservation of its rights therein, including the execution of financing statements. Agent agrees not to allow any Person other than Lender to have control of the Accounts and further agrees not to enter into any control agreement or any other agreement relating to the Accounts with any other third party.
(g) Borrower, Maryland Owner, Lender and Agent agree that none of the Accounts shall be evidenced by a certificate of deposit, passbook or other instrument.
(h) Lender and Agent agree that items received for deposit in the Accounts shall be deemed to bear the valid and legally binding endorsement of the payee and to comply with all of Agent’s requirements for the supplying of missing endorsements, now or hereafter in effect. As between Borrower, Maryland Owner and Lender, any deposit made by or on behalf of Borrower or Maryland Owner into an Account shall be deemed deposited into such Account when the funds in respect of such deposit shall become collected funds.
(i) Borrower, Maryland Owner, Lender and Agent acknowledge and agree that thisArticle X governs the Accounts and, for the purposes of the UCC, including §9-304(b) and §8-110(a) thereof, the law of the State of New York is the law of Clearing Bank’s and Agent’s jurisdiction.

Lender, by accepting this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not, except as otherwise provided in thisSection 15.1, sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower or Maryland Owner in any such action or proceeding, under or by reason of or under or in connection with this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of thisSection 15.1 shall not, however, (i) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages or the other
-183-
Loan Documents; (ii) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower or Maryland Owner as a party defendant in any action or suit for judicial foreclosure and sale under this Agreement and the Mortgages; (iii) affect the validity or enforceability of any indemnity (including those contained in the Guaranty, Environmental Indemnity,Section 13.6 andArticle XIV of this Agreement), guaranty, master lease or similar instrument made in connection with this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents; (iv) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (v) impair the enforcement of the assignment of leases provisions contained in the Mortgages; or (vi) impair the right of Lender to obtain a deficiency judgment or other judgment on the Note against Borrower or Maryland Owner if necessary to obtain any Insurance Proceeds or Awards to which Lender would otherwise be entitled under this Agreement;provided,however, that Lender shall only enforce such judgment to the extent of the Insurance Proceeds and/or Awards.
(b) Nothing inSection 15.1(a) shall constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with any of the actions, events or circumstances described in Section 1.2(a) of the Guaranty (collectively, the “Recourse Obligations”) and Borrower shall be personally liable to Lender and shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any of the Recourse Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the agreement of Lender not to pursue recourse liability as set forth inSection 15.1(a) above SHALL BECOME NULL AND VOID and shall be of no further force and effect and the Debt shall become fully recourse to Borrower upon the occurrence or existence of any of the events or circumstances described in Section 1.2(b) of the Guaranty.
(c) Nothing herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Creditors’ Rights Laws to file a claim for the full amount of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the indebtedness owing to Lender in accordance with this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage, or the other Loan Documents.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, no direct or indirect member, shareholder, partner, principal, Affiliate, employee, officer, director, agent or representative of Borrower (each an “Exculpated Party”; provided that none of Borrower, Maryland Owner, or Guarantor shall be an Exculpated Party with respect to its obligations set forth in the Environmental Indemnity, the Guaranty and inSection 13.6 of this Agreement, as applicable) shall have personal liability for the payment of any sum of money payable or for the performance or discharge of any covenants, obligations or undertakings of Borrower or under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or other Loan Documents and no monetary or deficiency judgment shall be sought or obtained or enforced against any Exculpated Party with respect thereto.

No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.

Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under the Note or under any other Loan Document, or any other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.
Section 18.4Trial By Jury.
BORROWER, MARYLAND OWNER, BORROWER PRINCIPAL, GUARANTOR AND LENDER EACH HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER, MARYLAND OWNER, BORROWER PRINCIPAL, GUARANTOR, AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE.

Lender agrees that, in such event, it shall cooperate in expediting any action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of Borrower and Maryland Owner, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Maryland Owner, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower and Maryland Owner, and of each Individual Property and the Property, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of each Individual Property and the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of each Individual Property and the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them
-196-
may acquire in Borrower or Maryland Owner, and each of Borrower and Maryland Owner hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower and Maryland Owner acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower, Maryland Owner or their Affiliates.
Section 20.10Entire Agreement.
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written between Borrower, Maryland Owner and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EXECUTED BY ANY OF THE PARTIES SUBSTANTIALLY CONCURRENTLY HEREWITH CONSTITUTE A WRITTEN LOAN AGREEMENT AND REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES TO THEM AND 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 20.11Co-Lenders.
(a) Each of Borrower and Maryland Owner hereby acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding the fact that the Loan may be serviced by Servicer, prior to a Securitization of the Loan, all requests for approval and consents hereunder and in every instance in which Lender’s consent or approval is required, each of Borrower and Maryland Owner shall be required to obtain the consent and approval of the Co-Lenders holding 50.1% (individually or in the aggregate) or more of the Loan and all copies of documents, reports, requests and other delivery obligations of Borrower and Maryland Owner required hereunder shall be delivered by Borrower and Maryland Owner to each Co-Lender.
(b) Following the Closing Date (i) the liabilities of Lender shall be several and not joint, (ii) no Co-Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of the other Co-Lender, and (iii) each Co-Lender shall be liable to Borrower and Maryland Owner only for their respective Ratable Share of the Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all indemnities by Borrower and Maryland Owner and obligations for principal and interest payments, payment of exit fees, default interest or any other amounts due hereunder, including costs, expenses, damages or advances each as set forth herein shall run to and benefit each Co-Lender in accordance with its Ratable Share.
(c) Each Co-Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the other Co-Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of Borrower, Maryland Owner and their Affiliates and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon
-197-
the other Co-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.
(d) In connection with any consent or approval under the Loan Documents, or any other circumstance in which “Lender” has the right to take an action and obtain reimbursement therefor from Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower under the Loan Documents, each Co-Lender agrees that the Co-Lenders shall be entitled to designate as many Persons as they desire but that Borrower and its Affiliates shall only be obligated to pay the legal fees, costs and expenses incurred by one Lender and not all Co-Lenders, except in an Event of Default in which case the foregoing limitation shall not apply. The Co-Lenders shall also designate one Co-Lender or one Servicer to act as the agent for all Co-Lenders for all dealings with Borrower under the Loan Documents.
Section 20.12Bankruptcy Waivers and Assurances.
(a)Assurances of Future Non-Impairment. Borrower acknowledges and agrees (i) that Lender has expressed its intent and expectation that the concessions, modifications, and accommodations set forth in this Agreement and the Loan Documents constitute the final and conclusive statement of their lending relationship with Borrower Parties, (ii) that Borrower Parties will fully, faithfully and completely pay all obligations under the Loan Documents and comply with all other terms and conditions in this Agreement and the Loan Documents, and (iii) that Lender shall not be subject to any additional business or legal risks with respect to payment of obligations under the Loan Documents. To confirm and realize this expectation and intent, Borrower provides the following representations, acknowledgments, warranties, and agreements:
(i) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, by entering into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender is willing to afford Borrower a reasonable opportunity to satisfy all of its obligations under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and conditions in the Loan Documents,provided,however, that Lender is not willing to accept the additional risk of a future restructuring, renegotiation, or modification of any terms and conditions in the Loan Documents. Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that the representations, acknowledgments, agreements, and warranties made by Borrower (and other Borrower Parties) constitute a material inducement to Lender to enter into this Agreement and the related Loan Documents, and that Lender is relying on such representations and warranties, has changed and will continue to change its position in reliance thereon, and that Lender would not have entered into this Agreement and the related Loan Documents without such representations, acknowledgments, agreements, and warranties.
(ii) Borrower represents and warrants that the performance of the terms and conditions under the Loan Documents is feasible, realistic, and achievable.
(iii) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender has no obligation to, and do not intend to agree to, accept any subsequent restructuring proposal or make any subsequent loans or other financial accommodations to Borrower or any other Borrower
-198-
Party. Lender has not, directly or indirectly, encouraged Borrower to anticipate or expect any favorable consideration of any future business plans or requests for additional modifications, amendments or supplements of or to the Loan Documents. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender’s present objectives and goals may include insistence upon full, timely and strict compliance with all terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, and a refusal to consider or accept any subsequent proposals for restructuring or modifications of the Loan Documents.
(iv) Borrower represents and warrants that it has no present intention currently or in the future to file a voluntary petition for bankruptcy under the Bankruptcy Code.
(v) Neither Borrower nor any of the other Borrower Parties shall under any circumstances resist, hinder, or delay Lender’s enforcement of any rights or remedies it may have under the Loan Documents, including (i) seeking in any State or Federal court or any foreign tribunal an injunction or order which may stay or limit Lender’s enforcement of such rights and remedies, (ii) filing a voluntary petition for bankruptcy under the Bankruptcy Code, or any other Creditors’ Rights Laws, and (iii) inducing, supporting, or encouraging any third party to file an involuntary petition against Borrower or any other Borrower Party under the Bankruptcy Code.
(b)Waivers and Assurances in Bankruptcy. If, for any reason, Borrower or any of the other Borrower Parties becomes a debtor in a case under the Bankruptcy Code, then Borrower hereby agrees as follows:
(i) To the extent permitted by applicable law and not inconsistent with Borrower’s discharge of compliance with its fiduciary duties, as advised by counsel, Borrower shall consent, and shall cause the other Borrower Parties to consent, to any termination or modification of the automatic stay under Section 362 of Bankruptcy Code as may be requested by Lender or Agent, and hereby expressly waives any and all rights, protections, and benefits of the automatic stay or similar injunctive relief available under the Bankruptcy Code. Borrower shall not seek, and shall not permit the other Borrower Parties to seek, a supplementary injunction under Section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise to further stay or hinder Lender or Agent in the enforcement of their rights and remedies.
(ii) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that in the event of its bankruptcy, “adequate protection” for the interests of Lender must, at a minimum, include the following: (a) a cure of all prepetition monetary defaults under the Loan Documents within ninety (90) days from the commencement of the case; (b) the timely performance of all monetary obligations under the Loan Documents arising from and after the commencement of the case; and (c) such debtor shall file within ninety (90) days of the commencement of the case a plan of reorganization which provides for a treatment which is acceptable to Lender, or which leaves the interests of Lender unimpaired. Failure to provide adequate protection on such terms shall constitute a separate and distinct cause for the termination of the automatic stay in the case.
-199-
(iii) Borrower shall not, and shall not permit the other Borrower Parties to, seek to modify, impair, or limit the rights and remedies of Lender under Sections 506(c) or 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, and shall not seek to obtain credit or incur debt to be secured by a senior or equal lien on any of Lender’s collateral pursuant to Section 364(b) or otherwise.
(iv) Borrower shall not, and shall not permit the other Borrower Parties to, propose, support, encourage, induce, or vote in favor of any plan of reorganization that seeks to alter, modify, abridge, or eliminate, in any respect, any of the rights and remedies of Lender or Agent.
Section 20.13General Release.
Borrower, on behalf of itself, all Borrower Parties, and each of their respective past, present and future subsidiaries, affiliates, divisions, directors, shareholders, officers, employees, partners, members, managers, representatives, advisors, servicers, attorneys and agents and each of their respective heirs, transferees, executors, administrators, personal representatives, legal representatives, predecessors, successors and assigns (including any successors by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or a substantial portion of any such Persons’ assets and business), each in their capacity as such (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”), hereby releases and forever discharges all Indemnified Parties from any and all Liabilities (including any Liabilities which any Releasing Party does not know or suspect to exist in its favor as of the Closing Date, which if known by such Releasing Party might have affected such Releasing Party’s release of an Indemnified Party, and including any Servicing Claims (but not any claims for contribution or indemnification that may exist in respect of Servicing Claims made by third parties that are not parties to the Release and Indemnity)) that are or may be based in whole or part on any act, omission, transaction, event, or other circumstance taking place or existing on or prior to the date hereof, which the Releasing Parties or any of them may have or which may hereafter be asserted or accrue against Indemnified Parties or any of them, resulting from or in any way relating to any act or omission done or committed by Indemnified Parties, or any of them, prior to the date hereof in each case connection with or arising out of the Loan or the Loan Documents. The releases contained in thisSection 20.13 apply to all Liabilities which the Releasing Parties or any of them have or which may hereafter arise against the Indemnified Parties or any of them in connection with or arising out of the Loan or the Loan Documents, as a result of acts or omissions occurring on or before the date hereof, whether or not known or suspected by the parties hereto. Borrower, on behalf of itself and all of the Releasing Parties, expressly acknowledges that although ordinarily a general release does not extend to claims which the releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his, her or its favor, which if known by him, her or it must have materially affected his, her or its settlement with the party released, Borrower, on behalf of itself and all of the Releasing Parties, has carefully considered and taken into account in determining to enter into this Agreement the possible existence of such unknown losses or claims. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower, on behalf of itself and all of the Releasing Parties, expressly waives any and all rights conferred upon it by any statute or rule of law which provides that a release does not extend to claims which the claimant does not know or suspect to exist in his, her or its favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him, her or it must have materially affected his, her or its settlement with the released party, including the following provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542:
“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”
-200-
This release by Releasing Parties shall constitute a complete defense to any Liability released pursuant to this release. Nothing in this release shall be construed as (or shall be admissible in any legal action or proceeding as) an admission by any Co-Lender or any other Indemnified Party that any Liability exists which is within the scope of those hereby released. ThisSection 20.13 shall survive the repayment and performance of all obligations under the Loan Documents, and the reconveyance, foreclosure, or other extinguishment of any related security instruments. For the avoidance of doubt, by agreeing to thisSection 20.13, Releasing Parties represent and acknowledge that none of them may seek to use any of the Liabilities released herein as a set-off of any other obligation that may exist between any Releasing Party and Indemnified Party. In addition, Liabilities released herein shall include any Releasing Party’s right to contribution or any other similar demand that might otherwise exist (and the terms of this sentence shall control over any conflicting provision in any other Loan Document, including the Release and Indemnity).
In no event shall the provisions of thisSection 20.13 be deemed to limit any other release of any Indemnified Parties under any other Loan Document, including the Release and Indemnity, and all such releases of any Indemnified Parties shall be read in the broadest possible manner notwithstanding anything contained herein.
