This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents 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 Applicable Interest 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.
2.2.8. Interest Rate Cap Agreement. (a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrower shall enter into an Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a LIBOR strike price equal to or less than the Strike Price. The Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) shall be with an Acceptable Counterparty, (ii) shall direct such Acceptable Counterparty to deposit directly into the Seventh Mezzanine Deposit Account all amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement so long as any portion of the Debt exists, (iii) shall be for the period from the Closing Date through the Mandatory Prepayment Date and
38
(iv) shall have an initial notional amount equal to the principal balance of the Loan. Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender, pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement, all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and shall deliver to Lender an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Lender and require that payments be deposited directly into the Seventh Mezzanine Deposit Account). Lender hereby accepts the Interest Rate Cap Agreement that is the subject of the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement and agrees it complies with the requirements of thisSection 2.2.8.
(b) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the material terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrower shall be deposited directly into the Seventh Mezzanine Deposit Account or into such other account as specified by Lender.
(c) In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Counterparty below the Minimum Counterparty Rating, Borrower, upon reasonable notice of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification, shall replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (such date of replacement, which date shall in no event be later than the Cap Replacement Delivery Deadline, the "Cap Replacement Delivery Date") with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement (and shall deliver to Lender one or more legal opinions issued by counsel (which counsel may be in-house counsel for the counterparty) to the Counterparty (and any guarantor thereof) which are in form and substance substantially similar to the opinions delivered to Lender on the Closing Date or are otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender) not later than ten (10) Business Days after the occurrence of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification (such date, the "Cap Replacement Delivery Deadline").
(d) In connection with any release pursuant to and in accordance withSection 2.6 hereof or in connection with any application by Lender of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service to the Debt in accordance withSection 2.4.2 hereof, in the event that the notional amount of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, as applicable, exceeds the outstanding principal balance of the Loan (after giving effect to the release and the application of the Loan Release Payments as provided inSection 2.6 hereof or of the application of Net Proceeds), Borrower shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to cause the notional amount of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Replacement Cap Agreement, as applicable, to be reduced to an amount not less than such outstanding principal balanceprovided that (i) no Event of Default shall be continuing, (ii) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender the documentation to effect such reduction not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of such reduction and (iii) such reduction does not result in the notional amount of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Replacement Cap Agreement, as applicable, being reduced below the outstanding principal balance of the Loan. Upon the modification of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or delivery of such Replacement Cap Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be in-house counsel for the Counterparty) for the Counterparty (upon which Lender, its successors and assigns and the Rating Agencies may rely) which is in form and substance substantially similar to the opinions delivered to Lender on the Closing Date or is otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender.
2.2.9. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a party shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future income, franchise, sales, use or other taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto, whether now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation authority or other Governmental Authority (collectively, "General Taxes"), unless required by law. If the Borrower shall be required under any requirement of law to deduct or withhold any General Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the Lender
39
(including for all purposes of thisSection 2.2.9 any assignee, successor or participant), (i) Borrower shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of General Taxes, (ii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of General Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any requirement of law, and (iii) the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after Borrower has made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under thisSection 2.2.9) such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement the term "Non-Excluded Taxes" shall mean General Taxes other than, in the case of a Lender, General Taxes that are imposed on its net income, net profits or capital (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof), or branch profits taxes that are imposed, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender is organized or of its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof, unless such General Taxes are imposed as a result of such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received payments under, or enforced, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents but only if the Lender would not have been subject to such General Taxes in the jurisdiction generally had the Lender not entered into this Agreement or any other Loan Document (in which case such General Taxes will be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes).
(b) In addition, Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording, documentary, excise, property or value-added taxes, or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, any performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (collectively, "Other Taxes").
(c) Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Lender for, and to hold it harmless against, the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full amount of General Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under thisSection 2.2.9 imposed on or paid by such Lender and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity by Borrower provided for in thisSection 2.2.9(c) shall apply and be made whether or not the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally asserted. Amounts payable by Borrower under the indemnity set forth in thisSection 2.2.9(c) shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which Lender makes written demand therefor.
(d) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of General Taxes, Borrower (or any Person making such payment on behalf of Borrower) shall furnish to Lender for its own account a certified copy of the original official receipt or such other evidence that is reasonably satisfactory to Lender evidencing payment thereof. For purposes of subsection (e) of thisSection 2.2.9, the terms "United States" and "United States person" shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.
(e) Each Lender (including for avoidance of doubt any assignee, successor or participant) (a "Non-Exempt Lender") shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Borrower, but only if it is legally able to do so, the following properly completed and duly executed documents:
(i) in the case of a Lender that is not a United States person, a complete and executed (x) U.S. Internal Revenue Form W-8BEN with Part II completed if Lender is able to claim the benefits of a tax treaty with the United States providing for a zero or reduced rate of withholding (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments or (y) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms thereto); or
(ii) in the case of a Lender that is an individual, (x) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a certificate substantially in the form of Schedule 2.2.9 (a "Section 2.2.9 Certificate") or (y) a complete and executed U.S.
40
Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Person is exempt from backup withholding (or any successor forms thereto); or
(iii) in the case of a Lender that is organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Person is exempt from backup withholding (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments; or
(iv) in the case of a Lender that (x) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia and (y) is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a Section 2.2.9 Certificate; or
(v) in the case of a Lender that (A) is treated as a partnership or other non-corporate entity, and (B) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, (x)(i) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 2.2.9 Certificate, and (y) without duplication, with respect to each of its beneficial owners and the beneficial owners of such beneficial owners looking through chains of owners to individuals or entities that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes (all such owners, "beneficial owners"), the documents that would be required by clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii) and/or this clause (v) with respect to each such beneficial owner if such beneficial owner were Lender,provided,however, that no such documents will be required with respect to a beneficial owner to the extent the actual Lender is determined to be in compliance with the requirements for certification on behalf of its beneficial owner as may be provided in applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, or the requirements of this clause (v) are otherwise determined to be unnecessary, all such determinations under this clause (v) to be made in the sole discretion of Borrower,provided,however, that Lender shall be provided an opportunity to establish such compliance as reasonable; or
(vi) in the case of a Lender that is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the document that would be required by clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vii) and/or this clause (vi) of thisSection 2.2.9(e) with respect to its beneficial owner if such beneficial owner were the Lender; or
(vii) in the case of a Lender that (A) is not a United States person and (B) is acting in the capacity as an "intermediary" (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), (x)(i) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor form thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 2.2.9 Certificate, and (y) if the intermediary is a "non-qualified intermediary" (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), from each person upon whose behalf the "non-qualified intermediary" is acting the documents that would be required by clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), and/or this clause (vii) with respect to each such person if each such person were Lender.
If the forms referred to in clause (i)(x) above in thisSection 2.2.9(e) that are provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement or, with respect to a grant of a participation, the effective date thereof, indicate a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be treated as General Taxes other than "Non-Excluded Taxes" ("Excluded Taxes") and shall not qualify as Non-Excluded Taxes unless and until such Lender provides the appropriate form certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate shall be considered Excluded Taxes solely for the periods governed by such form. If, however, on the date a Person becomes an assignee, successor or participant to this Agreement, Lender transferor was entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under thisSection 2.2.9, then the Lender assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts to
41
the extent (and only to the extent), that the Lender transferor was entitled to such indemnification or additional amounts for Non-Excluded Taxes, and the Lender assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to additional indemnification or additional amounts for any other or additional Non-Excluded Taxes. In addition, a Lender shall, subject toSection 2.2.9(f), upon written notice from Borrower promptly deliver such new forms as are required by the relevant Governmental Authority to claim exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender, but only if such Lender is legally able to do so.
(f) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide Borrower with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in subsection (e) of thisSection 2.2.9 (other than if such failure is due to a change in any requirement of law (including any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order), or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided and it is legally inadvisable or otherwise commercially disadvantageous for such Lender to deliver such form, certificate or other document), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under subsection (a) or (c) of thisSection 2.2.9 with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure;provided,however, that should a Lender become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request, to assist such Lender in recovering such Non-Excluded Taxes.
(g) If a Lender receives a tax refund that is solely attributable to any Non-Excluded Taxes as to which such Lender has received additional amounts pursuant toSection 2.2.9(a) or indemnification pursuant toSection 2.2.9(c), such Lender will pay to the Borrower the amount that, in such Lender's sole discretion, is solely attributable to such Non-Excluded Taxes, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender, and without interest; provided that (i) such Borrower, upon the request of such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender in the event such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority and (ii) in no event is any Lender required to arrange its Tax affairs to claim any refund. This paragraph shall not under any circumstances require such Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event will any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower the payment of which would place such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Lender would have been in if the additional amounts or indemnification giving rise to such refund of Taxes had never been paid and the refund never been received.
(h) The obligations of Borrower under thisSection 2.2.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loan and all other amounts payable hereunder.
Section 2.3. Loan Payment.
2.3.1. Payments Generally. (a) Borrower shall pay to Lender (i) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to interest only on the outstanding principal balance of the Note from the Closing Date up to and including (A) the eighth day of the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs or (B) if the Closing Date occurs subsequent to the eighth day of the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs, the eighth day of the calendar month of the first month subsequent to the month in which the Closing Date occurs, and (ii) on February 9, 2008 and on each Payment Date thereafter up to and including the Maturity Date, Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest accruing on the Note during the entire Interest Period ending on such Payment Date.
(b) For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating interest accrual periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on
42
such date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day. All amounts due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever.
2.3.2. Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including all interest that would accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan through and including the end of the Interest Period in which the Maturity Date occurs (even if, in the event of an acceleration of the Loan, such Interest Period extends beyond the Maturity Date).
2.3.3. Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents is not paid by Borrower by the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of three percent (3.0%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law (such amount, the "Late Payment Charge") in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such Late Payment Charge shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.
2.3.4. Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender's office or as otherwise directed by Lender, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
Section 2.4. Prepayments.
2.4.1. Voluntary Prepayments. The outstanding principal amount of the Loan may be prepaid in whole or in part only as expressly provided herein, and may not otherwise be prepaid. On any date occurring after the Closing Date, upon not less than ten (10) Business Days' prior notice to Lender, Borrower may prepay the Loan (a) in whole or (b) in part, solely with respect to this clause (b), pursuant to (i) a Permitted Release in accordance withSection 2.6 hereof (but only to the extent that such prepayment (together with all prior prepayments made pursuant to Permitted Releases, Affected Property Releases and Limited Cure Releases) does not exceed the Permitted Release Threshold), (ii) pursuant to a Limited Cure Release in accordance withSection 8.1(c) hereof or (iii) pursuant to an Affected Property Release in accordance withSection 6.4(d) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement;provided that (A) no Event of Default shall be continuing (other than the Event of Default which is to be cured pursuant to a Limited Cure Release);provided,however, that solely in connection with a prepayment in whole of the Loan, the absence of an Event of Default shall not be a precondition thereto so long as such prepayment complies with all other applicable provisions hereof and (B) any prepayment in whole pursuant to clause (a) hereof or any prepayment pursuant to clause (b) hereof pursuant to a Permitted Release or a Limited Cure Release which occurs prior to the Payment Date occurring in January, 2009 (the "Lockout Release Date") shall include the Spread Maintenance Premium. If a prepayment under thisSection 2.4.1(a) is made (I) on a Payment Date, then Borrower shall pay to Lender, simultaneously with such prepayment, all interest on the principal balance of the Loan then being prepaid accrued through the end of the Interest Period ending immediately prior to such Payment Date or (II) on a day other than a Payment Date, then Borrower shall pay to Lender, simultaneously with such prepayment, all interest on the principal balance of the Loan then being prepaid which would have accrued through the end of the Interest Period then in effect, notwithstanding that such Interest Period extends beyond the date of such prepayment. Additionally, in connection with any voluntary prepayment pursuant to thisSection 2.4.1, the Mortgage Loan and each
43
Other Mezzanine Loan shall be simultaneously prepaid ratably, or if such prepayment is in connection with the release of a Release Property in accordance withSection 2.6 hereof, in an amount equal to the Mortgage Release Amount and the Other Mezzanine Release Amount applicable to such Release Property. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that in connection with any prepayment under the Mortgage Loan or any Other Mezzanine Loan, the Loan shall be simultaneously prepaid as provided in the Mortgage Loan Agreement or the applicable Other Mezzanine Loan Agreement. Borrower shall have the right, by notice to Lender, to revoke any notice of prepayment given pursuant to thisSection 2.4.1,provided that (i) such notice is given not later than the date that is one (1) Business Day prior to the date originally designated as the date of prepayment and (ii) Borrower shall within ten (10) Business Days after demand pay to Lender all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the proposed prepayment and/or the revocation thereof, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements.
2.4.2. Liquidation Events. (a) Subject to the provisions ofSection 2.4.1 hereof, in the event of (i) any Casualty to all or any portion of the Properties, (ii) any Condemnation of all or any portion of the Properties, (iii) a Transfer of all or any portion of the Properties or any of the Senior Mezzanine Collateral, (iv) any refinancing of the Properties or equity interests in Mortgage Borrower and Maryland Owner or the Mortgage Loan or of any of the Senior Mezzanine Collateral or of any Senior Mezzanine Loan in accordance with the terms hereof, the Mortgage Loan Agreement and the applicable Senior Mezzanine Loan Agreement, or (v) the receipt by Mortgage Borrower of any excess proceeds realized under its owner's title insurance policy after application of such proceeds by Mortgage Borrower to cure any title defect (each, a "Liquidation Event"), Borrower shall authorize Lender to apply one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service to the outstanding principal balance of the Note, together with, in the event that such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service are received on or before a Payment Date, interest that would have accrued on such prepaid amounts through and including the end of the Interest Period in which such Payment Date occurs. Other than during the continuance of an Event of Default, no prepayment premium or fee shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) of thisSection 2.4.2. The Allocated Loan Amount for the Individual Property with respect to which such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service were paid shall be reduced in an amount equal to such prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in thisSection 2.4.2(a), Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service paid or received with respect to any of the events described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iv) above shall be the result of a ratable application of the proceeds from any such Liquidation Event (net of all amounts permitted or required to be deducted therefrom in accordance with the definition of "Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service") to the Mortgage Loan and each Mezzanine Loan, while Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service paid with respect to any Liquidation Event described in clause (iii) or (v) or otherwise following a foreclosure sale or other disposition of the Property in connection with realization thereon following a Mortgage Loan Event of Default, shall be the result of the sequential application of such proceeds (net of all amounts permitted or required to be deducted therefrom in accordance with the definition of "Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service") to the Mortgage Loan and each Mezzanine Loan. Any Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service in excess of the Debt shall be paid as directed by Borrower.
(b) Borrower shall reasonably promptly notify Lender of any Liquidation Event once Borrower has knowledge of such event;provided,however, that Borrower's obligation to so notify Lender with respect to a Casualty shall only be with respect to a Casualty, the Net Proceeds of which would reasonably be expected to exceed $500,000. Borrower shall be deemed to have knowledge of (i) a sale (other than a foreclosure sale) of the Property or the Senior Mezzanine Collateral on the date on which a contract of sale for such sale is entered into, and a foreclosure sale, on the date notice of such foreclosure sale is given, and (ii) a refinancing of the Property or the Mortgage Loan or of any Senior Mezzanine Collateral or any Senior Mezzanine Loan, on the date on which a commitment for such refinancing has been entered into. The provisions of thisSection 2.4.2 shall not be construed to
44
contravene in any manner the restrictions and other provisions (including, without limitation, any provision relating to the application of proceeds thereof) regarding refinancing of the Mortgage Loan, any Senior Mezzanine Loan, Transfer of the Property or any Senior Mezzanine Collateral, substitution or release of any Individual Property or the application of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service set forth in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the applicable Senior Mezzanine Loan Documents or the Mortgage Loan Documents.
2.4.3. Prepayments After Event of Default. If, on or prior to the Lockout Release Date, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender (including through application of any Reserve Funds) during the continuance of an Event of Default, such tender or recovery shall (a) include interest accruing through and including the end of the Interest Period in which such payment occurs and (b) be deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth inSection 2.4.1 and Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt, an amount equal to the Spread Maintenance Premium.
2.4.4. Mandatory Prepayment. On the first (1st) Payment Date occurring after the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Closing Date (the "Mandatory Prepayment Date"), Borrower shall be required to prepay in whole the Debt, unless Borrower shall have satisfied each of the following terms and conditions on or prior to the Mandatory Prepayment Date:
(a) no Event of Default shall be continuing on the Mandatory Prepayment Date;
(b) if the Interest Rate Cap Agreement is scheduled to mature on or prior to the Mandatory Prepayment Date, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender not later than the first day following the Mandatory Prepayment Date (provided that the form of such Replacement Interest Rate Cap shall have been delivered to Lender not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the first day following the Mandatory Prepayment Date), one or more Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreements at the Strike Price from an Acceptable Counterparty, which Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreements shall be effective commencing on the first day following the Mandatory Prepayment Date and shall have a maturity date not earlier than the Maturity Date;

(d) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender as of the Mandatory Prepayment Date an Officer's Certificate in form reasonably 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 to the extent such representations and warranties are not matters which by their nature can no longer be true and correct as a result of the passage of time or are no longer true and correct as a result of factual circumstances or events that have occurred subsequently,provided such circumstances and events that have occurred subsequently do not constitute a Default or an Event of Default that is continuing;
(e) (i) Each of Mortgage Borrower and Maryland Owner, First Mezzanine Borrower, Second Mezzanine Borrower and Third Mezzanine Borrower shall have contemporaneously extended the term of the Mortgage Loan, the First Mezzanine Loan, the Second Mezzanine Loan and the Third Mezzanine Loan, respectively, and (ii) each of the Fourth Mezzanine Borrower, the Fifth Mezzanine Borrower and the Sixth Mezzanine Borrower shall have satisfied the conditions set forth in Section 2.4.4 of the Fourth Mezzanine Loan Agreement, the Fifth Mezzanine Loan Agreement and the Sixth Mezzanine Loan Agreement, respectively, such that they are not required to repay their respective Mezzanine Loan; and

(b) 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, after notice to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower and Maryland Owner to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Properties, including the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its reasonable 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 to Lender within ten (10) days of demand and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

85
to Borrower, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made reasonably promptly by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower and Maryland Owner. In the event of a Casualty where the loss does not exceed the Restoration Threshold, Mortgage Borrower and Maryland Owner may settle and adjust such claim;provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (b) such adjustment is carried out in a commercially reasonable manner. In the event of a Casualty where the loss exceeds the Restoration Threshold (or if below the Restoration Threshold, if such adjustment is not carried out in a commercially reasonable manner) or if an Event of Default then exists, Mortgage Borrower and Maryland Owner may settle and adjust such claim only with the consent of Lender. In addition, Lender may participate in any such settlement or adjustment discussions with any insurance companies with respect to any Casualty in which the loss exceeds the Restoration Threshold and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if, following a Casualty, in the event that Net Proceeds therefor are not made available by Mortgage Lender for restoration of the affected Individual Property, and Mortgage Borrower and Maryland Owner have received a "Rejectable Offer", under and as defined in the Master Lease, from the Operator of the affected Individual Property, Mortgage Lender shall make such Net Proceeds available to Mortgage Borrower and Maryland Owner (in the event that such Rejectable Offer is not accepted, but the applicable Individual Property is to be released from the Mortgage Loan and the related Operating Lease is to be terminated), or, at Mortgage Borrower's and Maryland Owner's direction, to the applicable Operator (in the event that the Rejectable Offer is accepted and the affected Individual Property is to be sold to the related Operator).

Borrower shall reasonably promptly give Lender notice of the commencement or of any threatened in writing proceeding for the Condemnation of any Individual Property and shall cause Mortgage Borrower and Maryland Owner to deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served by any Governmental Authority in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation;provided,however,that in the event of a Condemnation with respect to an Individual Property where the amount of the taking does not exceed the Restoration Threshold, Mortgage Borrower and Maryland Owner may settle and compromise such Condemnation without Lender's participation so long as (a) no Event of Default is continuing and (b) such settlement is carried out in a commercially reasonable and timely manner. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower and Maryland Owner, at its or their expense, to 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 shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in the Loan Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until the Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service 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 Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If any Individual Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower and Mortgage Owner to reasonably promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the applicable Individual Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.

7.1.2. Disbursements of Low DSCR Reserve Funds. Upon the expiration of a Trigger Period, Lender shall disburse any funds remaining in the Low DSCR General Reserve Account to Borrower.

Any request for disbursement from the Low DSCR General Reserve Account shall be accompanied by an Officer's Certificate with such supporting materials as shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender to establish that Borrower is entitled to such disbursement and certifying that such funds have been or will be applied solely to pay for Capital Expenditures pursuant to an Approved Quarterly CapEx Budget.
Section 7.2. Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds.
7.2.1. Deposits. (a) On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the sum of $11,226,054.04, and thereafter on each Payment Date, Borrower shall pay or cause Master Tenant and Operator to pay to Lender (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates in its reasonable discretion based on the history of Taxes assessed against the applicable Individual Property (including for this purpose, with respect to each Individual Property listed onSchedule 4.1.16, the entire tax lot of which such Individual Property is a part), will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (b) one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates in its reasonable discretion based on the history of Insurance Premiums for the relevant individual Property, will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies. Amounts so deposited in (a) and (b) above shall be referred to herein as the "Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds" and the account in which such amounts are held shall be referred to herein as the "Tax and Insurance Reserve Account." Lender will apply the full extent of Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant toSection 5.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgages. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (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 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, either return
87
any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account hereunder. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account after the Debt has been paid in full shall be promptly returned to Borrower. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Properties. If at any time Lender reasonably determines based upon invoices for the current or previous Tax periods 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 in writing of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates as provided above is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to pay any such additional amounts until five (5) Business Days after Lender shall have given written notice of the additional amount due.
(b) Borrower shall have the right, exercisable on thirty (30) days' notice to Lender, in lieu of making monthly deposits hereunder on account of Taxes, to (i) deposit with Lender Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds in an amount estimated by Lender from time to time in accordance with the standards set forth in clause (a) above, to be sufficient to pay one-half (1/2) of the Taxes assessed against the Properties in the ensuing twelve (12) month period, which deposit shall serve as additional security for Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents. In the event that Borrower shall make such election, then (i) Borrower shall have no obligation to make any further monthly deposits on account of Taxes, but shall instead have the obligation to within ten (10) Business Days of request by Lender, increase the amount on deposit to cover any increase in Lender's estimate as aforesaid in the amount of Taxes that will be payable over the ensuing twelve (12) month period, and (ii) Lender shall have no obligation to apply or release any Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds to or for the payment of Taxes, and all Taxes shall thereafter be paid by Borrower with other funds of Borrower.

Section 7.3. Intentionally Omitted.
7.3.1. Deposits. (a) Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Closing Date an amount equal to one-fourth (1/4) of the product of the following: (i) $300.00, multiplied by (ii) the aggregate number of beds at the Facilities as adjusted by Lender annually based on the then aggregate number of beds at the Facilities (the "Replacement Reserve Deposit"), which amount is reasonably estimated by Lender in its sole discretion to be due for replacements and repairs required to be made to the Properties during the calendar year (collectively, the "Replacements"). Amounts so deposited shall be referred to herein as the "Replacement Reserve Funds" and the account in which such amounts are held shall be referred to herein as the "Replacement Reserve Account". In lieu of delivering Replacement Reserve Funds, Borrower and Maryland Owner shall have the right pursuant toSection 7.6 to deliver a Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the Replacement Reserve Deposit. Except as specified inSection 7.3.1(b), Borrower acknowledges that Lender shall have no obligation to disburse any portion of the Replacement Reserve Funds which shall be held by Lender during the entire term of the Loan subject toSection 7.5.
88
(b) In the event that with respect to any calendar year commencing with 2008, (i) Borrower shall expend on Replacements more than the Required Annual Replacement Expenditure, (ii) Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Officer's Certificate certifying the total amount expended during such year for Replacements, with a breakdown by Individual Property, and (iii) no Event of Default shall then be continuing, then the amount of the Replacement Reserve Deposit for the immediately succeeding calendar year shall be reduced by an amount equal to one-fourth (1/4) of the amount by which such expenditures exceeded the Required Annual Replacement Expenditure. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each subsequent calendar year, Borrower shall deliver to Lender the Officer's Certificate described in clause (ii) above, and Lender shall, based on Borrower's expenditure for Replacements for such calendar year, adjust (i.e., increase or decrease) the amount of the Replacement Reserve Deposit so that it shall be equal to one-fourth (1/4) of the Required Annual Replacement Expenditure minus one-fourth (1/4) of the amount (if any) by which the expenditures for Replacements for the calendar year in question exceeded the Required Annual Replacement Expenditure for the calendar year in question. Within ten (10) Business Days after Lender shall have so adjusted the amount of the Replacement Reserve Deposit, (A) if Replacement Reserve Funds are then being held in the Replacement Reserve Account, Lender shall release to Borrower any excess Replacement Reserve Funds as so calculated then being held in the Replacement Reserve Account, or Borrower shall deliver to Lender an amount equal to any deficiency in the amount of the Replacement Reserve Funds then being held in the Replacement Reserve Account, as applicable, and (B) if a Letter of Credit is then being held by Lender in lieu of Replacement Reserve Funds, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a replacement Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the recalculated amount of the Replacement Reserve Deposit and Lender shall return to Borrower the existing Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be entitled to any reduction in the amount of the Replacement Reserve Deposit unless at the time in question the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (iii) above are satisfied.
7.3.2. Waiver of Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall be relieved of its obligation to make any deposits of the Replacement Reserve Funds underSection 7.3.1 above and generally of all of its obligations and rights under thisSection 7.3 (and Lender shall have no corresponding obligation to apply any of the Replacement Reserve Funds to the payment of any Replacements), unless (i) Lender has received notice of the non-payment of all Replacement Reserve Funds by Mortgage Borrower and Maryland Owner or, alternatively, (ii) in the case where Senior Mezzanine Borrower has established and is maintaining the Replacement Reserve Account, notice of the non-payment of all Replacement Reserve Funds by such Senior Mezzanine Borrower.

(a) Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority, perfected security interest in the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in the Reserve Accounts as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the purpose for which such Reserves were intended or to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion. The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.
(b) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Reserve Funds or any portion thereof or the monies deposited in the Reserve Accounts or any portion thereof or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
89
(c) The Reserve Funds shall be held in Eligible Accounts and shall bear interest at a money market rate selected by Lender and may be invested in Permitted Investments (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement. All interest or other earnings on the Reserve Funds (other than the Replacement Reserve Funds and the Low DSCR Reserve Funds) shall be paid to Lender. All interest or other earnings on the Replacement Reserve Funds and the Low DSCR Reserve Funds shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Fund, and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in such Reserve Fund. Lender shall have the right to direct the investment of all sums on deposit in the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account in Permitted Investments and except during the continuance of an Event of Default Borrower shall have the right to direct the investment of all sums on deposit in the Replacement Reserve Account and the Low DSCR General Reserve Account in Permitted Investments provided (i) such investments are then regularly offered for accounts of this size, category and type, (ii) such investments are permitted by applicable federal, state and local rules, regulations and laws, and (iii) the maturity date of the Permitted Investment is not later than the date on which the applicable Reserve Funds are required for payment of an obligation for which such Reserve Fund was created.

No other investments of the sums on deposit in the Reserve Funds shall be permitted except as set forth in thisSection 7.5. Borrower shall bear all reasonable costs associated with the investment of the sums in the account in Permitted Investments. Such costs shall be deducted from the income or earnings on such investment, if any, and to the extent such income or earnings shall not be sufficient to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by Borrower reasonably promptly on demand by Lender. Lender shall have no liability for the rate of return earned or losses incurred on the investment of the sums in Permitted Investments other than losses resulting from Lender's or any Servicer's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(d) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established, except arising by reason of Lender's or any Servicer's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

90
deposit to the applicable Reserve Fund, or (ii) reduce the face amount of any Letter of Credit (by delivery to Lender of a substitute Letter of Credit or an amendment to the existing Letter of Credit then held by Lender, in either case, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender) by an amount such that the face amount of the Letter of Credit (as so substituted or amended), when taken together with any cash Reserve Funds on deposit in the applicable Reserve Account, is, in Lender's reasonable discretion, sufficient for the purposes for which such Reserve Account was established.
(c) Subject toSection 7.7, in the event that Lender shall draw on a Letter of Credit delivered under thisSection 7.6, Lender shall apply the proceeds thereof in the manner provided hereunder for the application of the Reserve Funds in lieu of which the applicable Letter of Credit was delivered.
Section 7.7. Provisions Regarding Letters of Credit.

94
described inclause (vii) or(viii) above, the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, a default underclause (a)(xxi) above or a default underSection 5.1.24 or a default under the Environmental Indemnity consisting of an Individual Property having an adverse environmental condition that is not permitted under the Environmental Indemnity (as opposed to any other default hereunder including, without limitation, the failure or refusal of any indemnitor thereunder to comply with its obligations relating to the indemnification of Lender or any other Person) (a "Limited Cure Default") shall not, in each instance, constitute an Event of Default hereunder in the event that Borrower, in accordance withSection 2.6 hereof (including the satisfaction of all conditions therein contained other than those which by their express terms are applicable only to a Permitted Release or an Affected Property Release), obtains or causes to be obtained the release of the Individual Property subject to the Operating Lease with such Affected Operator from the Lien of the Mortgage thereon within forty-five (45) days of such Limited Cure Default (each such release, a "Limited Cure Release"), except that (A) the Release Amount for each such Individual Property shall be equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Allocated Loan Amount for such Individual Property (such amount, the "Limited Cure Release Amount"), and (B) in the event that the Lockout Release Date shall not have occurred, Borrower shall pay the Spread Maintenance Premium.

Provided that Borrower shall effect or cause to be effected a Limited Cure Release in accordance with thissubsection (c), in no event shall the Limited Cure Default subject to such Limited Cure Release constitute an independent Event of Default underSubsection (a)(xiii) hereof.
Section 8.2. Remedies. (a) During the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any of the Collateral. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any "one action" or "election of remedies" law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Collateral and the Collateral has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) With respect to Borrower and the Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other portion of the Collateral and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose upon the Collateral in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Pledge Agreement then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more
95
scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Collateral as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to secure payment of sums secured by the Collateral and not previously recovered.
(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, pledges and other security documents (the "Severed Loan Documents") in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof. Except as may be required in connection with a Securitization pursuant toSection 9.1 hereof, (i) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, (ii) the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date, (iii) the economic effect and the other terms of the Severed Loan Documents shall not materially reduce the rights of Borrower under the Loan Documents or materially increase the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or any other party obligated in any manner to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, (iv) the total loan amount under the Severed Loan Documents shall equal the amount of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of the Severed Loan Documents and (v) the weighted average interest rate spread under the Severed Loan Documents shall on the date created equal the interest rate which was applicable to the Loan immediately prior to the creation of the Severed Loan Documents (other than during the continuance of an Event of Default).
(d) Any amounts recovered from the Collateral after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
(e) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower and Maryland Owner to permit Lender to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Collateral for such purposes, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys' fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in thisSection 8.2, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was paid until the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses paid by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests
96
provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.
Section 8.3. Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall unless prohibited by applicable law be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Unless prohibited by applicable law, Lender's rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender's sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
IX. SPECIAL PROVISIONS

(a) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender may sell all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents, or issue one or more participations therein, or consummate one or more private or public securitizations of rated single- or multi-class securities (the "Securities") secured by or evidencing ownership interests in all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents or a pool of assets that include the Loan and the Loan Documents (such sales, participations and/or securitizations, collectively, a "Securitization").

(c) All financial data and financial statements provided by Borrower hereunder pursuant toSection 9.1(b) above shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, and shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB and other applicable legal requirements in the event the provisions ofSection 9.1(b) shall apply. All annual financial statements referred to inSections 9.1(b)(ii) above shall be audited by a Pre-approved Auditor or such other independent accountants of Borrower reasonably acceptable to Lender in accordance with Regulation AB and all other applicable legal requirements, shall be accompanied by the manually executed report of the independent accountants thereon, which report shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB and all other applicable legal requirements, and shall be further accompanied by a manually executed written consent of the independent accountants, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, to the inclusion of such financial statements in any Disclosure Document and any Exchange Act Filing and to the use of the name of such independent accountants and the reference to such independent accountants as "experts" in any Disclosure Document and Exchange Act Filing, all of which shall be provided at the same time as the related financial statements are required to be provided. All financial data and financial statements (audited or unaudited) provided by Borrower underSection 9.1(b) above shall be accompanied by an Officer's Certificate, which certification shall state that such financial statements meet the requirements set forth in the first sentence of thisSection 9.1(c).

(e) In the event Lender reasonably determines, in connection with a Securitization, that the financial data and financial statements required in order to comply with Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other legal requirements are other than as provided herein, then notwithstanding the provisions ofSection 9.1(b) and(c) hereof, Lender may request, and Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly provide, such other financial statements as Lender reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate for such compliance.
(f) Borrower agrees that Lender may disclose information regarding the Collateral, the Properties and Borrower, Senior Mezzanine Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Maryland Owner, Master Tenant, Guarantor and Operator that is provided to Lender pursuant toSection 5.1.11 and this Section in connection with the Securitization to such parties requesting such information in connection with such Securitization.
(g) Borrower shall deliver, in connection with any Securitization, (i) one or more Officer's Certificates certifying as to the accuracy of all representations made by Borrower in the Loan Documents as of the date of the closing of such Securitization in all relevant jurisdictions or indicating any exceptions to such representations and warranties, and (ii) certificates of the relevant Governmental Authorities in all relevant jurisdictions indicating the good standing and qualification to do business of Borrower, Senior Mezzanine Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Maryland Owner, Master Tenant, Operator and Principal as of the date of the Securitization if available in such jurisdiction.

(b) The Indemnifying Persons agree to provide, in connection with the Securitization, an indemnification agreement (the "Indemnification Agreement") (i) certifying that (A) the Indemnifying Persons have carefully examined the Disclosure Documents, including the sections entitled "Risk Factors," "Special Consideration", "Description of the Collateral," "Description of the Mezzanine Loans," "The Borrower" and "Certain Legal Aspects of the Mezzanine Loans" and (B) such sections and such other information in the Disclosure Documents (only to the extent such information includes any Provided Information or any information specific to the Loan, the Loan Documents, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Maryland Owner, the Collateral, the Property, Master Tenant, Operator, Guarantor and the Master Lease and the Operating Lease) (collectively with the Provided Information, the "Covered Disclosure Information") do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) jointly and severally indemnifying Lender, JPMorgan, CS, BofA, or any Affiliate of Lender, JPMorgan, CS or BofA that has filed any registration statement relating to the Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in connection with the Securitization, or any Affiliate of Lender, JPMorgan, CS or BofA that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization, any other co-underwriters, co-placement agents or co-initial purchasers of Securities issued in the Securitization, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates and each Person or entity who controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the "Indemnified Persons"), for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses for enforcement of these obligations (collectively, the "Liabilities")) to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Covered Disclosure Information or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (iii) agreeing to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any reasonable legal fees or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person, as they are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have pursuant to the Loan Documents or applicable law. Moreover, the indemnification provided for in clauses (ii) and (iii) above shall be effective whether or not an Indemnification Agreement is provided.
100
(c) In connection with filings under the Exchange Act, the Indemnifying Persons jointly and severally agree to indemnify (i) the Indemnified Persons for Liabilities to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact in the Covered Disclosure Information, or the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) reimburse each Indemnified Person for any reasonable legal fees or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Persons, as they are incurred, in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any Indemnifying Person, notify such Indemnifying Person in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action;provided,however, that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnification provisions of thisSection 9.2 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and,provided,further, that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under the provisions of thisSection 9.2. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Person, and it shall notify any Indemnifying Person thereof, such Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person and shall have the right to negotiate and enter into and/or consent to any settlement, subject to the prior approval of Lender and, if different, the Indemnified Person. After notice from any Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof except as provided in the following sentence;provided,however, if the defendants in any such action include both an Indemnifying Person, on the one hand, and one or more Indemnified Persons on the other hand, and an Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person or Persons shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Person or Persons. The Indemnified Person shall instruct its counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for fees and disbursements for which such Indemnified Person is seeking reimbursement hereunder and shall submit copies of such detailed billing records to substantiate that such counsel's fees and disbursements are solely related to the defense of a claim for which the Indemnifying Person is required hereunder to indemnify such Indemnified Person. No Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the expenses of more than one (1) such separate counsel unless such Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another Indemnified Person.
(e) Without the prior consent of Lender, JPMorgan, CS and BofA (in each case which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), no Indemnifying Person shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless the Indemnifying Person shall have given Lender, JPMorgan, CS and BofA, as applicable, reasonable prior notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings. As long as an Indemnifying Person has complied with its obligations to defend and indemnify hereunder, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any
101
settlement made by any Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnifying Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
(f) The Indemnifying Persons agree that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to thisSection 9.2 is finally judicially determined to be unavailable for any reason or is insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to the Liabilities that are the subject of thisSection 9.2), then the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient: (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative faults of the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions of thisSection 9.2, (A) no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other party who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (B) the Indemnifying Persons agree that in no event shall the amount to be contributed by the Indemnified Persons collectively pursuant to this paragraph exceed the amount of the proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the sale of the Loan or portion thereof pursuant to the Securitization.
(g) The Indemnifying Persons agree that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in thisSection 9.2 shall apply whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. The Indemnifying Persons further agree that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under thisSection 9.2.
(h) The liabilities and obligations of the Indemnified Persons and the Indemnifying Persons under thisSection 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall not have any obligation to act as depositor with respect to the Loan or an issuer or registrant with respect to the Securities issued in any Securitization.
Section 9.3. Exculpation. (a) Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce any of the liabilities or obligations of Borrower, Principal or Guarantor (except as set forth in the Guaranty and the Environmental Indemnity), or any other Restricted Party or an Affiliate of any one of the foregoing (collectively, the "Exculpated Parties" and, individually, an "Exculpated Party") to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (including, solely in the case of Borrower, any indemnification agreement delivered pursuant toSection 9.2(b) hereof), by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower or any other Exculpated Party, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and in the Collateral or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents;provided,however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower or any other Exculpated Party only to the extent of the interest of Borrower or of such Exculpated Party, as the case may be, in the Collateral and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower or any Exculpated Party in any such action or proceeding under, or by reason of, or in connection with, the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however,
102
(i) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (ii) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under any of the Pledge Agreement; (iii) affect the validity or enforceability of or any Guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (iv) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (v) intentionally omitted; (vi) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by the Pledge Agreement or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against all of the Collateral; or (vii) 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 reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with any of the following:

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 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 10.9. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 10.10. Preferences. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder.

Section 10.11. Waiver of Notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives, and shall not be entitled to, any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this
110
Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.
Section 10.12. Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower's sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
Section 10.13. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender within ten (10) Business Days of demand therefor by Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Collateral); (ii) Borrower's ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower's respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including confirming compliance with environmental, healthcare and insurance requirements; (iii) Lender's ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iv) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters reasonably requested by Lender; (v) securing Borrower's compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any rights, either in response to third party claims or in prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Collateral, or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Collateral or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a "work-out" or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings;provided,however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the First Mezzanine Deposit Account. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in thisSection 10.13(a) is intended to obligate Borrower to pay any costs or expenses which Lender is expressly obligated to pay underSection 9.5,9.6 or9.8 or any other provision of this Agreement as well as any other costs incurred after the Closing Date relating to a Securitization.
(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material
111
misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan, (iii) all paid and unpaid liability claims, including Medicare and Medicaid claims, in connection with the Properties and any other prior liability of the Prior Owners, (iv) the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any of the duties, responsibilities or obligations of Borrower thereunder, (v) the Leases or any of the duties, responsibilities or obligations of Mortgage Borrower, Master Tenant or any Operator thereunder or (vi) the transactions contemplated by the Cash Management Agreement (collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities");provided,however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.
(c) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for (other than pursuant toSection 10.13(a)), any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating Agency review of the Loan, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.
Section 10.14. Schedules Incorporated. The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 10.15. Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender's interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 10.16. No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries. (a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Properties other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower, and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender's sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
112
Section 10.17. Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, Lender, Column, BofA or any of their respective Affiliates shall be subject to the prior reasonable approval of Lender. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Lender or its Affiliates which refers to Carlyle and Affiliates of Carlyle other than Manor Care and Manor Care's direct and indirect Subsidiaries, shall, except as specified in the next succeeding sentence, be subject to the prior reasonable approval of Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, the mere identification by Lender or Borrower of the Carlyle Group as the sponsor of Borrower in any such release, publicity or advertising shall not require Borrower's or Lender's consent.
Section 10.18. Cross-Default; Cross-Collateralization; Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. (a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of its collective interest in the Collateral and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Collateral taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each Borrower's Collateral taken separately. Borrower agrees that portions of the Collateral cross-collateralize and cross-default with other portions of the Collateral so that (i) an Event of Default constitutes an Event of Default with respect to each Borrower's pledge of Collateral under the Pledge Agreement which secures the Note; (ii) an Event of Default that is continuing under the Note or this Loan Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under the Pledge Agreement; (iii) the Pledge Agreement shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Collateral as security for the Note; and (iv) such cross-collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower's members and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Collateral, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure upon the Collateral, 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 the Collateral 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 the Collateral in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure upon any or all of the Collateral, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of any portion of the Collateral or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any portion of the Collateral before proceeding against any other portion of the Collateral; and further in the event of such foreclosure Borrower does each hereby expressly consent to and authorize, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together with any of the Collateral.
Section 10.19. Waiver of Counterclaim. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.
Section 10.20. Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Loan Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Loan Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. 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
113
of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender's exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower 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 or its Affiliates.
Section 10.21. Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than Lender, JPMorgan, CS and BofA and their respective Affiliates. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a breach of the representation set forth in thisSection 10.21. The provisions of thisSection 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
Section 10.22. Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, including the Commitment Letter dated July 2, 2007 among Borrower, Lender, JPMorgan Securities Inc., Column, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Credit Suisse Cayman Islands Branch, BofA, Bank of America Securities LLC and Mergerco are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.23. Authority to File. In connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, Borrower does hereby authorize Lender to file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, the "all assets" UCC-1 Financing Statement attached hereto asSchedule 10.23, which UCC-1 Financing Statement names the Borrower as debtor and Lender as secured party.
Section 10.24. Agent's Register. Lender, in its capacity as collateral agent (the "Registrar"), and, solely for this purpose, as non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall, at no cost to Borrower, maintain a register (the "Agent's Register") showing the names and addresses of the Noteholders and the principal amount of the Loan (and the stated interest thereon (the "Registered Loan")) held by the Noteholders from time to time. The entries in Agent's Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and Borrower, Maryland Owner, Lender and the other Noteholders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in Agent's Register as the owner the Note for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any assignment of the Note shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Agent's Register. The Agent's Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower, Maryland Owner or any Noteholder at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. A Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Agent's Register, which registration the Registrar shall effect immediately upon receipt of assignment documentation. Any assignment or sale of all or part of such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any evidencing the same) may be effected only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Agent's Register, together with the surrender of the registered note, if any, evidencing the same duly endorsed by (or accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or sale duly executed by) the holder of such registered note, whereupon, at the request of the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s), one or more new registered notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s). Prior to the registration of assignment or sale of any Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same), Borrower shall treat the Person in whose name such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any evidencing the same) is registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes.
