Section 2.2 Interest Rate.
2.2.1 Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.2.5 hereof, interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall accrue from the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date at the Interest Rate.
2.2.2 Interest Calculation. With respect to any applicable period, interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on the Interest Rate and a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the Outstanding Principal Balance in effect for the applicable period as calculated by Lender.
2.2.3 Determination of Interest Rate.
(a) The Interest Rate with respect to the Loan shall be: (i) the LIBOR Rate with respect to the applicable Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan, (ii) the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread for a Prime Rate Loan if the Loan is converted to a Prime Rate Loan pursuant to the provisions hereof or (iii) when applicable pursuant to this Agreement, the Default Rate. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to convert a LIBOR Loan to a Prime Rate Loan.
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Loan shall be a LIBOR Loan and Borrower shall pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance at the LIBOR Rate for the applicable Interest Period. Any change in the rate of interest hereunder due to a change in the Interest Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the first day on which such change in the Interest Rate shall become effective. Each determination by Lender of the Interest Rate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
| 39 |
(c) In the event that Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then Lender shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the last day of the related Interest Period. If such notice is given, the related outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period, to a Prime Rate Loan.
(d) If, pursuant to the terms hereof, any portion of the Loan has been converted to a Prime Rate Loan and Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Lender shall give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the last day of the related Interest Period. If such notice is given, the related outstanding Prime Rate Loan shall be converted to a LIBOR Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period.
(e) If any requirement of law, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan as contemplated hereunder (i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make a LIBOR Loan or to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan shall be canceled forthwith and (ii) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted automatically to a Prime Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period or within such earlier period as required by law. Borrower hereby agrees to promptly pay to Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder. Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(f) Borrower agrees to pay any Breakage Costs in connection with the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Interest Rate from the LIBOR Rate to the Prime Rate with respect to any portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance then bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period.
2.2.4 Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Outstanding Principal Balance and, to the extent permitted by law, all accrued and unpaid interest in respect thereof and any other amounts due pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.
| 40 |
2.2.5 Usury Savings. 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, the Note 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 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.
2.2.6 Breakage Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify Lender against any loss or expense which Lender may actually sustain or incur in liquidating or redeploying deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain the Loan or any part thereof as a consequence of (a) any payment or prepayment of the Loan or any portion thereof made on a date other than a Payment Date and (b) any default in payment or prepayment of the Outstanding Principal Balance or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the date thereof or otherwise, and whether by acceleration or otherwise) (collectively, “Breakage Costs”). Lender shall deliver to Borrower a statement for any such sums which it is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.2.6, which statement shall be binding and conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.2.6 are in addition to Borrower’s obligations to pay any Yield Maintenance Premium applicable to a payment or prepayment of the Loan and the Exit Fee.

Section 2.10 Change in Law; Taxes.
2.10.1 Increased Costs. If as a result of any Change in Law or compliance of Lender therewith, the basis of taxation of payments to Lender or any Person Controlling Lender of the principal of or interest on the Loan is changed or Lender or the Person Controlling Lender shall be subject to (i) any tax, duty, charge or withholding of any kind with respect to this Agreement (excluding federal taxation of the overall net income of Lender or the Person Controlling Lender); or (ii) any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities, of Lender or any Person Controlling Lender is imposed, modified or deemed applicable; or (iii) any other condition affecting loans to borrowers subject to LIBOR-based interest rates is imposed on Lender or any Person Controlling Lender and Lender reasonably determines that, by reason thereof, the cost to Lender or any Person Controlling Lender of making, maintaining or extending the Loan to Borrower is increased, or any amount receivable by Lender or any Person Controlling Lender hereunder in respect of any portion of the Loan to Borrower is reduced (such increases in cost and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Increased Costs”), then Lender shall provide notice thereof to Borrower and Borrower agrees that it will pay to Lender upon Lender’s written request such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or any Person Controlling Lender for such Increased Costs to the extent Lender reasonably determines that such Increased Costs are allocable to the Loan. If Lender requests compensation under this Section 2.10.1, Lender shall, if requested by notice by Borrower to Lender, furnish to Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. If Lender is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment by Borrower of any amounts described in this Section 2.10.1 would be unlawful or taxable to Lender or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury, then in any such event, Lender may, by written notice to Borrower of not less than one hundred twenty (120) days, declare the Obligations immediately due and payable.
2.10.2 Other Taxes. Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar taxes or other excise or property taxes, charges, or similar levies which arise from any payment made under, from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or the Loan (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).
Section 2.11 Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of both Borrower and Lender after consultation with each other) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by Borrower, then Borrower shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after all deductions or withholdings have been made (including all deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the applicable Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Lender timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes indemnified under this Section 2.11 (including Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
| 58 |
(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by or on account of Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, Borrower shall deliver to Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
(e) Status of Lenders. If Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, Lender shall deliver to Borrower, promptly following the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding, including:
(i) if Lender is a U.S. Person, executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(ii) If Lender is a Foreign Lender, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or ▇-▇▇▇▇-▇, ▇-▇▇▇▇ or W-8IMY, as applicable, together with all supporting documentation required under applicable law, including in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, a certificate substantially in the form of Schedule IX to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code; and
(iii) any documentation required to be provided by a Lender as prescribed under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and the applicable Treasury regulations thereunder and official interpretations thereof.
(f) Changes in Tax, Debt, Credit and Documentary Stamp Laws.
(i) If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Agreement which deducts the Loan from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation and which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on Lender’s interest in the Loan or Lender’s interest in the Property, Borrower will pay the tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of tax by Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to Lender or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury then Lender shall have the option by written notice of not less than one hundred twenty (120) days to declare the Obligations immediately due and payable.
| 59 |
(ii) Borrower will not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Loan for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges assessed against the Property, or any part thereof, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Property, or any part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of the Security Instrument or the Loan. If such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by applicable law and such claim, credit or deduction results in a tax, either directly or indirectly on Lender’s interest in the Loan or Lender’s interest in the Property, Lender shall have the option, by written notice of not less than one hundred twenty (120) days, to declare the Obligations immediately due and payable.
(iii) If at any time the United States of America, any State thereof or any subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Note, the Security Instrument, or any of the other Loan Documents or impose any other similar tax or charge on the same, Borrower will pay for the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.

Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, businesses and operations. Borrower possesses all material rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own, or lease, as applicable, its properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged, and the sole business of (x) Owner Borrower is the ownership, management and operation of the Property and (y) Operator Borrower is the leasing, management and operation of the Property.

Guarantor has the necessary power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Guarantor Documents.
4.1.2 Proceedings. Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
4.1.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower and/or Guarantor, as applicable, will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of Borrower’s property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s property or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower and/or Guarantor, as applicable, of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.
4.1.4 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or threatened against or affecting Borrower, Guarantor, Principal or the Property or any portion thereof, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against Borrower, Guarantor, Principal or the Property or such portion thereof, might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower, Guarantor, Principal or the condition or ownership of the Property or any portion thereof.
| 65 |
4.1.5 Agreements. To Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect Borrower or the Property or any portion thereof, or Borrower’s business, property or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or the Property are bound. Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) any obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property as permitted pursuant to clause (s) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, (b) the obligations under the Loan Documents, (c) the Operator Borrower’s obligations under the Franchise Agreement, (d) the obligations under the Operating Lease, and (e) Operator Borrower’s obligations under the Management Agreement.
4.1.6 Title. (a) Owner Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the real property comprising part of the Property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever, except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents and (b) Operator Borrower has a good, marketable and insurable leasehold interest in the real property comprising part of the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever, except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. The Permitted Encumbrances, in the aggregate, do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property or any portion thereof (as currently used) or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. The Security Instrument and the Assignment of Leases, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any UCC-1 financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents, and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. There are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property or any portion thereof that are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents.
| 66 |
4.1.7 Solvency. Borrower has (a) not entered into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its Obligations under such Loan Documents. After giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted.

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 S-K or Regulation S-X, as applicable, Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other legal requirements are other than as provided herein, then notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.1.11(g), Lender may request, and Borrower shall promptly provide, such other financial data and financial statements as Lender reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate for such compliance.

| 105 |
(e) With respect to the Policies of property insurance, they shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that, or otherwise provide that: (i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned; (ii) the Policies shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ notice to Lender, except for non-payment of premium which shall be ten (10) days; and (iii) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

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 upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Security Instrument and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
Section 6.2 Casualty. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall (a) give prompt notice of such damage to Lender, and (b) unless Lender fails to make Net Proceeds available for Restoration in violation of this Agreement, promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of Restoration so that the Property resembles, as nearly as possible, the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4. Unless Lender fails to make Net Proceeds available for Restoration in violation of this Agreement, Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition, Lender may participate in (and have approval rights over) any settlement discussions with any insurance companies with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing Restoration are equal to or greater than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (the “Casualty Threshold”) and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.
| 106 |

Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the applicable Governmental Authority, but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute Restoration and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4. If the Property or any portion thereof is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 6.2, Section 6.3(a), and Section 6.4 hereof, if the Loan or any portion thereof is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the Lien of the Security Instrument in connection with a Casualty or Condemnation (but taking into account any proposed Restoration on the remaining portion of the Property), the Loan to Value Ratio is greater than one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) (such value to be determined, in Lender’s reasonable discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust), the principal balance of the Loan must be paid down by a “qualified amount” as that term is defined in the IRS Revenue Procedure 2010-30, as the same may be amended, replaced, supplemented or modified from time to time, unless the Lender receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust and will not be subject to a prohibited transactions tax as a result of the related release of such portion of the Lien of the Security Instrument.
Section 6.4 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with any Restoration:
(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Casualty Threshold and the costs of completing Restoration shall be less than the Casualty Threshold, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt; provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 6.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i), (iv), (vi), (ix) and (x) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel costs and fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel costs and fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.

(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be paid directly to Lender for deposit in an interest-bearing account (the “Net Proceeds Account”) and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and the Other Obligations. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property or any portion thereof which (1) have not either been fully bonded to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the Title Company, or (2) are not being contested in accordance with the terms of Section 5.2.2 hereof.

The term “Retention Amount” shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in Restoration, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until Restoration has been completed. The Retention Amount shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in Restoration. The Retention Amount shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Retention Amount; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Retention Amount being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialmen’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the Title Company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the related Security Instrument and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Retention Amount shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the applicable contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and the Other Obligations.
(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower; provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing.
(c) If Net Proceeds are (i) equal to or greater than twenty percent (20%) of the original principal amount of the Loan, or (ii) not required to be made available for Restoration (due to Borrower’s inability to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i) or otherwise), then in any such event all Net Proceeds may be retained and applied by Lender in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof toward reduction of the Outstanding Principal Balance whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, in the sole discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its sole discretion.
| 111 |
(d) In the event of foreclosure of the Security Instrument, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other Transfer of title.

RESERVE FUNDS
Section 7.1 Tax and Insurance Escrow.
7.1.1 Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds. On the date hereof, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the Initial Tax Deposit on account of the Property Taxes next coming due and the Initial Insurance Premiums Deposit on account of the Insurance Premiums next coming due. Additionally, Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Property Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Property Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (b) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates 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 (the foregoing amounts so deposited with Lender are hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Account”). At Lender’s option, the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account shall be maintained as a Subaccount of the Cash Management Account or be an account maintained by Servicer either at Servicer or at an Eligible Institution. Notwithstanding the previous requirements of this Section 7.1.1, Lender shall waive Borrower’s obligations to (I) deposit the Initial Insurance Premiums Deposit, and (II) pay to Lender on each Payment Date the payment described in clause (b) of this Section 7.1.1, each for so long as the following conditions are met (any of which may be waived, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion): (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, (ii) the insurance coverage for the Property is included in a blanket policy insuring multiple properties and held by Borrower or an entity that Controls Borrower, which blanket policy is acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion, (iii) Borrower binds all applicable insurance prior to the then current expiration date of the blanket policy described in clause (ii) hereof, (iv) Guarantor shall satisfy all net worth and liquidity covenants set forth in the Guaranty and the Completion Guaranty (if any), and (v) Borrower provides Lender evidence of renewal policies prior to the then current expiration date of the applicable policy (the conditions contained in the foregoing clauses (i) through (v), collectively, the “Insurance Escrow Funds Waiver Conditions”). If, at any time, Borrower fails to meet any of the Insurance Escrow Funds Waiver Conditions (and Lender has not opted to waive such condition in its sole and absolute discretion), commencing with the next applicable Payment Date and continuing on each Payment Date until such time as all Insurance Escrow Funds Waiver Conditions have again been met, Borrower shall deposit an amount equal to the product of (x) the resulting fraction where (A) the numerator is one (1), and (B) the denominator is the number of Payment Dates then remaining in the then current calendar year, and (y) the amount of Insurance Premiums that Lender reasonably estimates will be payable to obtain and subsequently retain policies of insurance which meet the requirements of Section 6.1 hereof. In addition to the foregoing, if Borrower fails to renew the policy or policies described in clause (ii) hereof by the date which is seven (7) days prior to the expiration thereof, Borrower agrees to notify Lender of such failure, and to keep Lender reasonably apprised of all developments in connection therewith, and if, following such notice, Lender reasonably believes that Borrower will be unable to bind the policy or policies described in clause (ii) prior to the expiration thereof, then Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of insurance coverage as provided in or required pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof. 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 upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Security Instrument and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
| 112 |
7.1.2 Disbursements from Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds. Provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds to payments of Property Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Security Instrument. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds, Lender may do so according to any ▇▇▇▇, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Property Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such ▇▇▇▇, 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 Escrow Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Property Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account after the Debt has been paid in full shall be 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 Property. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay Property Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the due dates thereof, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Property Taxes and/or thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.
Section 7.2 PIP Work Reserve Account. Borrower has established on the date hereof an account into which amounts may be deposited pursuant to the terms and provisions of Section 2.5.7 hereof (the “PIP Work Reserve Account”; amounts so deposited being hereinafter referred to as the “PIP Work Reserve Funds”). At Lender’s option, the PIP Work Reserve Account shall be maintained as a Subaccount of the Cash Management Account or be an account maintained by Servicer either at Servicer or at an Eligible Institution. Amounts on deposit in the PIP Work Reserve Account shall be disbursed to Borrower for Approved CapEx Expenses related to the PIP Work in accordance with the same terms and conditions for the disbursement of Future Advances set forth in Section 2.5.1, as if incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis (although Borrower shall not be required to obtain the applicable ALTA 33-06 Disbursement Endorsement with respect to each draw). Borrower (i) hereby grants to Lender a first priority security interest in the PIP Work Reserve Account and all deposits at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof, and (ii) will take all actions necessary to maintain in favor of Lender a perfected first priority security interest in the PIP Work Reserve Account, including, without limitation, the execution of any account control agreement required by Lender. Borrower will not in any way alter, modify or close the PIP Work Reserve Account and will notify Lender of the account number thereof. All monies now or hereafter deposited into the PIP Work Reserve Account shall be deemed additional security for the Obligations. All sums on deposit in the PIP Work Reserve Account shall be disbursed to Borrower upon the earliest to occur of (i) payment in full of the Debt, (ii) the release of the Lien of the Security Instrument (and all related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (iii) Completion of the PIP Work.

Section 7.3 Special Incentive Fee Reserve Funds. Borrower has established on the date hereof an account into which $125,000 has been deposited (the “Special Incentive Fee Reserve Account”; amounts so deposited being hereinafter referred to as the “Special Incentive Fee Reserve Funds”). At Lender’s option, the Special Incentive Fee Reserve Account shall be maintained as a Subaccount of the Cash Management Account or be an account maintained by Servicer either at Servicer or at an Eligible Institution. Upon Lender’s receipt of a certification from Borrower and satisfactory evidence that the “Special Incentive Fee” (as such term is defined in the Management Agreement in effect on the Closing Date) is due and payable to Manager, and so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall disburse the Special Incentive Fee Reserve Funds to Borrower to pay such Special Incentive Fee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event Borrower does not Transfer the Property to a KSL Transferee and Borrower provides Lender with satisfactory evidence that the term of the Management Agreement has been extended for at least one (1) year or Borrower has entered into a Replacement Management Agreement with a term of at least one (1) year, then so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse the Special Incentive Fee Reserve Funds to Borrower.

Amounts deposited from time to time into the FF&E Reserve Account pursuant to this Section 7.6.1 shall hereinafter be referred to as the “FF&E Reserve Funds”. At Lender’s option, the FF&E Reserve Account shall be maintained as a Subaccount of the Cash Management Account or be an account maintained by Servicer either at Servicer or at an Eligible Institution.

7.6.3 Balance in the FF&E Reserve Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the FF&E Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.

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.

| 120 |
(b) With respect to Borrower and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Property, 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 the Security Instrument in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Security Instrument 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 scheduled payments of principal and/or interest, Lender may foreclose the Security Instrument to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose the Security Instrument to recover so much of the Debt as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Security Instrument as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Security Instrument to secure payment of sums secured by the Security Instrument 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, mortgages 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; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Except as may be required in connection with a Securitization pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, 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. 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.
(d) Any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan 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) If an Event of Default exists, Lender may (directly or by its agents, employees, contractors, engineers, architects, nominees, attorneys or other representatives), but without any obligation to do so and without notice to Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder, cure the Event of Default in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Subject to Tenant’ rights under the Leases, Lender (and its agents, employees, contractors, engineers, architects, nominees, attorneys or other representatives) are authorized to enter upon the Property to cure such Event of Default, and Lender is authorized to appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding reasonably necessary to maintain, secure or otherwise protect the Property or any portion thereof or the priority of the Lien granted by the Security Instrument.
(f) Lender may appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Property or any portion thereof and may bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which Lender, in its sole discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in the Property. Lender shall, at its option, be subrogated to the Lien of any mortgage or other security instrument discharged in whole or in part by the Obligations, and any such subrogation rights shall constitute additional security for the payment of the Obligations.
(g) As used in this Section 8.1.1, a “foreclosure” shall include, without limitation, a power of sale.
8.1.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall 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. 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.

Section 9.1 Transfer of Loan.
(a) Lender may, at any time, sell, transfer or assign the Loan or any portion thereof (including, without limitation, this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto), or grant participations therein or issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other securities (the “Securities”) evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement (such sales, transfers, assignments, participations, offerings and/or placements, collectively, a “Securitization”) (provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no such Securitization shall be to a Prohibited Transferee). At Lender’s election, each note and/or component comprising the Loan may be subject to one or more securitizations. Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant or investor in such participations or Securities (collectively, the “Investor”) or any Rating Agency rating such Securities, each prospective Investor, and any organization maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of commercial mortgage loans, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Loan or to Borrower, any Guarantor or the Property, whether furnished by Borrower, any Guarantor or otherwise, as Lender determines necessary or desirable, including, without limitation, financial statements relating to Borrower, Guarantor, the Property and any Tenant at the Property. Borrower irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have under law or in equity to prohibit such disclosure, including but not limited to any right of privacy. Any assignee shall be treated as a Lender for all purposes hereunder. Any purchaser of a participation interest shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.10.1 and Section 2.11 as if it were a Lender hereunder (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.11(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.11(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender).

Lender, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at its office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of any party to whom it assigns a portion of the Loan (for purposes of this Section 9.1(b) and Section 9.1(c), each a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”), and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the portion of the Loan owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower and Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(c) Participant Register. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury regulations. Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
| 123 |
Section 9.2 Cooperation. Borrower, agrees (and agrees to cause Guarantor) to cooperate with Lender (and agrees to cause their respective officers and representatives to cooperate) in connection with any transfer made or any Securities created pursuant to this Article IX, including, without limitation, the taking, or refraining from taking, of such action as may be necessary to satisfy all of the conditions of any Investor, the delivery of an estoppel certificate required in accordance with Section 5.1.15 hereof and such other documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender, and the execution of amendments to this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and other Loan Documents and Borrower’s organizational documents as reasonably requested by Lender; provided that (i) Lender shall pay all of Borrower’s actual out-of-pocket costs and reasonable expenses in connection with Borrower’s obligations under this Section 9.2 and (ii) no changes to the Loan Documents shall be required which will result in an increase in the aggregate debt or monthly debt service payments (or otherwise increase Borrower’s or Guarantor’s obligations or liabilities under the Loan Documents (other than, in each case, administratively or in a de minimis respect)). Borrower shall also furnish and Borrower and Guarantor consent to Lender furnishing to such Investors or prospective Investors or any Rating Agency any and all information concerning the Property, the Leases, the financial condition of Borrower and Guarantor as may be requested by Lender, any Investor, any prospective Investor or any Rating Agency in connection with any sale, transfer or participations or Securities and shall indemnify the Indemnified Parties against, and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from, any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which any such Indemnified Parties may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained in a Disclosure Document or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in the Disclosure Document or necessary in order to make the statements in the Disclosure Document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and agreeing to reimburse the Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by each of them in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any such case under this Section 9.2 only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have and shall survive the termination of the Security Instrument and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
| 124 |
Section 9.3 Servicer. At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer and/or trustee (any such master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer, and/or trustee, together with its agents, nominees or designees, are collectively referred to as “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to Servicer pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, servicing agreement, special servicing agreement or other agreement providing for the servicing of one or more mortgage loans (collectively, the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrower shall not be responsible for any set up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement, nor shall Borrower be responsible for payment of the regular monthly master servicing fee or trustee fee due to Servicer under the Servicing Agreement or any fees or expenses required to be borne by, and not reimbursable to, Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall promptly reimburse Lender on demand for (a) interest payable on advances made by Servicer with respect to delinquent debt service payments (to the extent interest at the Default Rate actually paid by Borrower in respect of such payments are insufficient to pay the same) or expenses paid by Servicer or trustee in respect of the protection and preservation of the Property or any portion thereof (including, without limitation, on account of Basic Carrying Costs), (b) all costs and expenses, liquidation fees, workout fees, special servicing fees, operating advisor fees or any other similar fees payable by Lender to Servicer which may be due and payable under the Servicing Agreement (whether on a periodic or a continuing basis) as a result of an Event of Default under the Loan, the Loan becoming specially serviced, the commencement or continuance of any enforcement action of any kind with respect to the Loan or any of the Loan Documents, a refinancing or a restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” of the Loan Documents, or any Bankruptcy Action involving Borrower, Principal, Guarantor or any of their respective principals or Affiliates, (c) all costs and expenses of any Property inspections and/or appraisals (or any updates to any existing inspection or appraisal) that Servicer or the trustee may be required to obtain (other than the cost of regular annual inspections required to be borne by Servicer under the Servicing Agreement), and (d) all costs and expenses relating to or arising from any special requests made by Borrower or Guarantor during the term of the Loan including, without limitation, in connection with a prepayment, defeasance, assumption or modification of the Loan.
Section 9.4 Restructuring of Loan.
(a) Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right at any time to require Borrower to restructure the Loan into additional multiple notes (which may include component notes and/or senior and junior notes), to re-allocate principal among component notes and/or senior and junior notes and/or to create participation interests in the Loan, which restructuring may include the restructuring of a portion of the Loan to one or more of the foregoing or to one or more mezzanine loans (the “New Mezzanine Loan”) to the direct or indirect owners of the equity interests in Borrower, secured by a pledge of such interests, the establishment of different interest rates and debt service payments for the Loan, and the New Mezzanine Loan and the payment of the Loan, and the New Mezzanine Loan in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender; provided that (i) the total principal amounts of the Loan (including any component notes), and the New Mezzanine Loan shall equal the total principal amount of the Loan immediately prior to the restructuring, (ii) except in the case of the occurrence of an Event of Default or a default beyond all notice and cure periods under the New Mezzanine Loan, or of a Casualty or Condemnation that results in the payment of principal under the Loan and/or the New Mezzanine Loan, the weighted average interest rate and all other fees and economic terms of the Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan, if any, shall, in the aggregate, equal the Interest Rate and other fees and economic terms as in effect on the Closing Date, and (iii) except in the case of the occurrence of an Event of Default and/or a default beyond all notice and cure periods under the New Mezzanine Loan, or of a Casualty or Condemnation that results in the payment of principal under the Loan and/or the New Mezzanine Loan, the aggregate debt service payments on the Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan and all other fees and economic terms shall equal the aggregate debt service payments and other fees and economic terms which would have been payable under the Loan had the restructuring not occurred. Without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, Lender shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time, to convert a portion of the Loan into a preferred equity investment (the “Preferred Equity Investment”). The Preferred Equity Investment shall be structured so that an Affiliate of Lender and Affiliate of Borrower are the preferred equity member and common member, respectively, of an entity that is sole member of Borrower, but otherwise will be structured on the same terms and conditions as though it were a New Mezzanine Loan (but without an equity pledge). The Preferred Equity Investment shall be treated as debt for federal income tax purposes.
| 125 |
(b) Borrower shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to restructure the Note, the Loan and/or to create a New Mezzanine Loan, if applicable, and shall, upon thirty (30) Business Days’ written notice from Lender, which notice shall include the forms of documents for which Lender is requesting execution and delivery, (i) execute and deliver such documents, including, without limitation, in the case of any New Mezzanine Loan, a mezzanine note, a mezzanine loan agreement, a pledge and security agreement and a mezzanine deposit account agreement, (ii) cause Borrower’s counsel to deliver such legal opinions, and (iii) create such a bankruptcy remote borrower under the New Mezzanine Loan as, in each of the cases of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, shall be reasonably required by Lender and required by any Rating Agency in connection therewith, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, including, without limitation, the severance of this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents if requested; provided, however, that following any such amendments required by Lender (A) the total principal amounts of the Loan (including any component notes), and the New Mezzanine Loan shall equal the total principal amount of the Loan immediately prior to the restructuring, (B) except in the case of the occurrence of an Event of Default or a default beyond all notice and cure periods under the New Mezzanine Loan, or of a Casualty or Condemnation that results in the payment of principal under the Loan and/or the New Mezzanine Loan, the weighted average interest rate and all other fees and economic terms of the Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan, if any, shall, in the aggregate, equal the Interest Rate and other fees and economic terms as in effect on the Closing Date, and (C) except in the case of the occurrence of an Event of Default and/or a default beyond all notice and cure periods under the New Mezzanine Loan, or of a Casualty or Condemnation that results in the payment of principal under the Loan and/or the New Mezzanine Loan, the aggregate debt service payments on the Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan and all other fees and economic terms shall equal the aggregate debt service payments and other fees and economic terms which would have been payable under the Loan had the restructuring not occurred.
(c) Lender shall pay all of its and Borrower’s actual out-of-pocket costs and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 9.4.
(d) In the event Borrower fails to execute and deliver such documents described in this Section 9.4 to Lender within thirty (30) days following such written notice by Lender, and Lender sends a second notice to Borrower with respect to the delivery of such documents containing a legend clearly marked in not less than fourteen (14) point bold face type, underlined, in all capital letters “POWER OF ATTORNEY IN FAVOR OF LENDER DEEMED EFFECTIVE FOR EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS IF NO RESPONSE WITHIN 30 DAYS”, 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 such transactions, Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof, if Borrower fails to execute and deliver such documents within ten (10) Business Days of delivery of such second notice. It shall be an Event of Default if Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 9.4 after the expiration of ten (10) Business Days after delivery of the second notice thereof.

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. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the Debt.

Failure to give such notice shall constitute a waiver of such claim.

| 132 |
(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its Obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (the liabilities, losses, costs, expenses and other matters described in this subparagraph (b), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to an Indemnified Party hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. 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 the Indemnified Parties.
(c) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, 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.
(d) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Party against any Losses to which each such Indemnified Party may become subject (i) in connection with any indemnification to the Rating Agencies in connection with issuing, monitoring or maintaining the Securities and (ii) insofar as such Losses so incurred arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact in any information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower or Guarantor to the Rating Agencies, if any (the “Covered Rating Agency Information”) or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state a material fact in the Covered Rating Agency Information required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Rating Agency Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except to the extent such Losses arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.
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 that 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 Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
| 133 |
(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.
Section 10.17 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public that refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender or any of its Affiliates, shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender.
Section 10.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. 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 partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the Security Instrument, 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 Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
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.
| 134 |
Section 10.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this 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 that 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 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 that govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them 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 that may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section 10.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Other than the payment of any and all commissions or similar fees owed to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ LaSalle Americas, Inc. (the “Broker”) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 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 attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by Broker or any other Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 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, understandings and negotiations among or between (or on behalf of) such parties, whether oral or written, including, without limitation, the non-binding term sheet dated April 7, 2017 between Pine River Capital Management L.P. (an Affiliate of Lender) and Borrower are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.23 Cumulative Rights. All of the rights of Lender under this Agreement and under each of the other Loan Documents, and any other agreement now or hereafter executed in connection herewith or therewith, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly, together, or in such combination as Lender may determine in its sole judgment.
Section 10.24 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered is an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. In making proof of this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart that is executed by the party against whom enforcement of this Agreement is sought.
Section 10.25 Time Is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of each provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
| 135 |
Section 10.26 Consent of Holder. Wherever this Agreement refers to Lender’s consent or discretion or other rights, such references to Lender shall be deemed to refer to any holder of the Loan. The holder of the Loan may from time to time appoint a trustee or Servicer, and Borrower shall be entitled to rely upon written instructions executed by a purported officer of the holder of the Loan as to the extent of authority delegated to any such trustee or Servicer from time to time and determinations made by such trustee or Servicer to the extent identified as within the delegated authority of such trustee or Servicer, unless and until such instructions are superseded by further written instructions from the holder of the Loan.
Section 10.27 Successor Laws. Any reference in this Agreement to any statute or regulation shall be deemed to include any successor statute or regulation.

In addition, Lender may conclusively rely upon the advice or determinations of any such agents, attorneys or independent contractors in performing any discretionary function under the terms of this Agreement. Wherever this Agreement refers to Borrower’s obligation to cause action by the Guarantor or the Manager regarding the observance, performance or satisfaction of any term, provision, covenant or condition contained herein, such obligation with respect to Borrower shall be interpreted to mean that Borrower shall not suffer or permit such party to fail to observe, perform or satisfy any such term, provision or covenant contained herein.
Section 10.29 Reserved.
Section 10.30 Joint and Several Liability; Right of Contribution. If more than one Person has executed this Agreement as “Borrower,” the representations, covenants, warranties and obligations of all such Persons hereunder shall be joint and several. Each entity that constitutes Borrower (for purposes of this Section 10.30 only, each a “Borrower” and collectively, “Borrowers”) acknowledges and agrees that it shall be jointly and severally liable for the Loan and all other Obligations arising under this Agreement and/or any of the other Loan Documents. In furtherance thereof, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees as follows:
(a) For the purpose of implementing the joint borrower provisions of the Loan Documents, each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints each other Borrower as its agent and attorney-in-fact for all purposes of the Loan Documents, including the giving and receiving of notices and other communications.
(b) To induce Lender to make the Loan, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Lender against, and hold Lender harmless from, any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and/or claims of damage or injury asserted against Lender by any Borrower or by any other Person arising from or incurred by reason of reliance by Lender on any requests or instructions from any Borrower.
(c) Each Borrower acknowledges that the liens and security interests created or granted herein and by the other Loan Documents will secure the Obligations of all Borrowers under the Loan Documents and, in full recognition of that fact, each Borrower consents and agrees that Lender may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or security hereof or of any other Loan Document:
| 136 |
(i) agree with any Borrower to supplement, modify, amend, extend, renew, accelerate, or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Obligations or any part thereof, including any increase or decrease of the rate(s) of interest thereon;
(ii) agree with any Borrower to supplement, modify, amend or waive, or enter into or give any agreement, approval or consent with respect to, the Obligations or any part thereof or any of the Loan Documents or any additional security or guaranties, or any condition, covenant, default, remedy, right, representation or term thereof or thereunder;
(iii) accept new or additional instruments, documents or agreements in exchange for or relative to any of the Loan Documents or the Obligations or any part thereof;
(iv) accept partial payments on the Obligations;
(v) receive and hold additional security or guaranties for the Obligations or any part thereof;
(vi) release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer and enforce any security for or guaranties of the Obligations, and apply any security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may determine;
(vii) release any Person or any guarantor from any personal liability with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof; or
(viii) settle, release on terms satisfactory to Lender or by operation of applicable laws or otherwise liquidate or enforce any Obligations and any security therefor or guaranty thereof in any manner, consent to the transfer of any such security and bid and purchase at any sale; and consent to the merger, change or any other restructuring or termination of the corporate existence of any Borrower or any other Person, and correspondingly restructure the obligations of such Borrower or other Person, and any such merger, change, restructuring or termination shall not affect the liability of any Borrower or the continuing existence of any lien or security interest hereunder, or under any other Loan Document to which any Borrower is a party, or the enforceability hereof or thereof with respect to all or any part of the Obligations.
| 137 |
(d) Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents independently as to each Borrower and independently of any other remedy or security Lender at any time may have or hold in connection with the Obligations, and in collecting on the Loan it shall not be necessary for Lender to marshal assets in favor of any Borrower or any other Person or to proceed upon or against and/or exhaust any other security or remedy before proceeding to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Borrower expressly waives any right to require Lender, in connection with Lender’s efforts to obtain repayment of the Loan and Other Obligations, to marshal assets in favor of any Borrower or any other Person or to proceed against any other Person or any collateral provided by any other Person, and agrees that Lender may proceed against any Persons and/or collateral in such order as it shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion in connection with Lender’s efforts to obtain repayment of the Loan and other Obligations. Lender may file a separate action or actions against each Borrower to enforce the Obligations, whether action is brought or prosecuted with respect to any other security or against any other Person, or whether any other Person is joined in any such action or actions. Each Borrower agrees that Lender, each Borrower and/or any other Person may deal with each other in connection with the Obligations or otherwise, or alter any contracts or agreements now or hereafter existing among any of them, in any manner whatsoever, all without in any way altering or affecting the security of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The rights of Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be reinstated and revived, and the enforceability of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue, with respect to any amount at any time paid on account of the Obligations, which thereafter shall be required to be restored or returned by Lender as a result of the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any Borrower or any other Person, or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid. The enforceability of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents at all times shall remain effective even though any or all Obligations, or any other security or guaranty therefor, may be or hereafter may become invalid or otherwise unenforceable as against any Borrower or any other Person and whether or not any Borrower or any other Person shall have any personal liability with respect thereto. Each Borrower expressly waives any and all defenses to the enforcement of its Obligations under the Loan Documents now or hereafter arising or asserted by reason of (i) any disability or other defense of any Borrower or any other Person with respect to the Obligations, (ii) the unenforceability or invalidity of any security or guaranty for the Obligations or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Obligations, (iii) the cessation for any cause whatsoever of the liability of any Borrower or any other Person (other than by reason of the full and final payment and performance of all Obligations), (iv) any failure of Lender to marshal assets in favor of any of the Borrowers or any other Person, (v) any failure of Lender to give notice of sale or other disposition of any Collateral for the Obligations to Borrower or to any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any such sale or disposition, (vi) any failure of Lender to comply in any non-material respect with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral or other security for any Obligation, (vii) any act or omission of Lender or others that directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of any Borrower or of any other Person or of any of the Obligations or any other security or guaranty therefor by operation of law or otherwise, (viii) any law that provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a surety’s or guarantor’s obligation in proportion to the principal obligation, (ix) any failure of Lender to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding with respect to any Person, (x) the election by Lender, in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding of any Person, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (xi) any extension of credit or the grant of any lien under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, (xii) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, (xiii) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding of any Person, (xiv) the avoidance of any lien or security interest in favor of Lender securing the Obligations for any reason, or (xv) any bankruptcy or similar proceeding commenced by or against any Person, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the Obligations (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding.
| 138 |
(e) Borrowers represent and warrant to Lender that they have established adequate means of obtaining from each other, on a continuing basis, financial and other information pertaining to their respective businesses, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) and their respective properties, and each now is and hereafter will be completely familiar with the businesses, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of the other and their respective properties. Each Borrower hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of Lender to disclose to such Borrower any matter, fact or thing related to the businesses, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the other Borrowers or the other Borrowers’ properties, whether now known or hereafter known by Lender during the life of this Agreement. With respect to any of the Obligations, Lender need not inquire into the powers of any Borrower or the officers, employees or other Persons acting or purporting to act on such Borrower’s behalf.
(f) EACH BORROWER WARRANTS AND AGREES THAT EACH OF THE WAIVERS AND CONSENTS SET FORTH HEREIN IS MADE WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE OF ITS SIGNIFICANCE AND CONSEQUENCES, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT EVENTS GIVING RISE TO ANY DEFENSE WAIVED MAY DIMINISH, DESTROY OR OTHERWISE ADVERSELY AFFECT RIGHTS THAT EACH OTHERWISE MAY HAVE AGAINST THE OTHER, AGAINST LENDER OR OTHERS, OR AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL. IF ANY OF THE WAIVERS OR CONSENTS HEREIN IS DETERMINED TO BE CONTRARY TO ANY APPLICABLE LAW OR PUBLIC POLICY, SUCH WAIVERS AND CONSENTS SHALL BE EFFECTIVE TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
