Event of Default and from and after the Maturity Date if the entire Principal

balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest and
other amounts due in respect of the Loan shall accrue at the Default Rate
calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or
cure periods contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed
from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the actual receipt and
collection of the Indebtedness (or that portion thereof that is then due). To
the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be
added to the Indebtedness, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the
Loan and shall be secured by this Agreement and the Pledge. This paragraph shall
not be
29

2.2.2 METHOD AND PLACE OF PAYMENT.
(a) On each Payment Date, Mezzanine Borrower shall pay or cause to
be paid to Mezzanine Lender interest accruing pursuant to the Mezzanine Note for
the entire Interest Period with respect to such Payment Date.
(b) All amounts advanced by Mezzanine Lender pursuant to the
applicable provisions of the Loan Documents (Second Mezzanine), other than the

charges as provided therein, shall be due and payable hereunder as provided in

upon notice to Mezzanine Borrower, first apply any payments received under the
Mezzanine Note to repay such advances, together with any interest thereon, or
other charges as provided in the Loan Documents (Second Mezzanine), and the
balance, if any, shall be applied in payment of any installment of interest or
principal then due and payable.
(c) The Maturity Date Payment shall be due and payable in full on

amount shall be secured by this Agreement, the Pledge and the other Loan

respect to the applicability of the Late Payment Charge (i) shall only apply to
Mezzanine Borrower's first failure to make a monthly interest payment in any
calendar year and (ii) shall not constitute a payment grace period and shall in
no way limit Mezzanine Lender's rights under Article XVII.

this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (Second Mezzanine), Mezzanine
Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the Principal
Amount due under the Mezzanine Note at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal
Rate,
30
then the LIBOR Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to
be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in
excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in
reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due under the
Mezzanine Note. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Mezzanine 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

Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the
Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

made on such Payment Date), and all other fees and sums payable hereunder or
under the Loan Documents (Second Mezzanine), including without limitation,
interest that has accrued at the Default Rate and any Late Payment Charges), (b)

equal to the Prepayment Fee.

5.1.9 FURTHER ASSURANCES; SEPARATE NOTES.
(a) Mezzanine Borrower shall, at its cost and expense, execute and
acknowledge (or cause to be executed and acknowledged) and deliver to Mezzanine
Lender all documents, and take all actions, reasonably required by Mezzanine
Lender from time to time to confirm the rights created or now or hereafter
intended to be created under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (Second
Mezzanine) and any security interest created or purported to be created
thereunder, to protect and further the validity, priority and enforceability of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (Second Mezzanine), to subject to
the Loan Documents (Second Mezzanine) any property of Mezzanine Borrower
intended by the terms of any one or more of the Loan Documents (Second
Mezzanine) to be encumbered by the Loan Documents (Second Mezzanine), or
otherwise carry out the purposes of the Loan Documents (Second Mezzanine) and
the transactions contemplated thereunder. Mezzanine Borrower agrees that it
shall, upon request, reasonably cooperate with Mezzanine Lender in connection
with any request by Mezzanine Lender to sever the Mezzanine Note into two (2) or
more separate substitute or component notes in an aggregate principal amount
equal to the Principal Amount and to reapportion the Loan among such separate
substitute notes, including, without limitation, by executing and delivering to
Mezzanine Lender new substitute notes to replace the Mezzanine Note, amendments
to or replacements of existing Loan Documents (Second Mezzanine) to reflect such
severance and/or Opinions of Counsel with respect to such substitute notes,
amendments and/or replacements, and the holders of such substitute or component
notes shall designate a lead lender or agent for such holders to whom Mezzanine
Borrower may direct all communications with respect to the Loan. Any such
substitute or component notes may have varying principal amounts and economic
terms, provided, however, that (i) the maturity date of any such substitute note
shall be the same as the scheduled Maturity Date of the Mezzanine Note
immediately prior to the issuance of such substitute notes, (ii) the substitute
notes shall provide for amortization of the Principal Amount on a weighted
average basis over a period not less than the amortization period provided under
the Mezzanine Note, if any, immediately prior to the
60
issuance of the substitute notes, (iii) the weighted average LIBOR Margin
(Second Mezzanine) of the substitute notes shall not exceed the LIBOR Margin
(Second Mezzanine) under the Mezzanine Note immediately prior to the issuance of
such substitute notes; and (iv) the economics of the Loan, taken as a whole,
shall not change in a manner which is adverse to Mezzanine Borrower. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of a material Event of Default (as
determined by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion), Mezzanine Lender may
apply payment of all sums due under such substitute notes in such order and
priority as Mezzanine Lender shall elect in its sole and absolute discretion.
(b) Mezzanine Borrower further agrees that if, in connection with
the Securitization, it is determined by the Rating Agencies that a portion of
the Securitization would not receive an "investment grade" rating unless the
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan were to be decreased and, as a result, the
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan is decreased, then (i) the Mezzanine
Borrower shall take all actions as are necessary to effect the "resizing" of the
Loan and the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the Mezzanine Borrower shall cause the Senior
Mezzanine Borrowers and the Mortgage Borrower to comply with its agreements to
effect a "resizing", and (iii) Mezzanine Lender shall on the date of the
"resizing" of the Loan lend to the Mezzanine Borrower (by way of a reallocation
of the principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and the Loan) such additional
amount equal to the amount of the principal reduction of the Loan (in which case
the Prepayment Fee shall be inapplicable to such repayment) provided that
Mortgage Borrower and Mezzanine Borrower execute and deliver any and all
necessary amendments or modifications to the Loan Documents (Mortgage) and the
Loan Documents (Second Mezzanine). In addition, Mezzanine Borrower and Mezzanine
Lender agree that if, in connection with the Securitization, it is determined by
the Rating Agencies that, if the principal amount of the Loan were to be
decreased and, as a result the principal amount of the Mortgage Loan were
increased, more "investment grade" rated securities could be issued, then (i) if
"resizing" to increase the size of the Mortgage Loan and decrease the size of
the Loan is provided for in the Loan Documents (Mortgage), each of them shall
take all actions provided for in the documentation for the Loan as are necessary
to effect the "resizing" of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan, (ii) Mezzanine
Borrower shall cause the Mortgage Borrower to comply with its agreements to
effect a "resizing" and (iii) Mortgage Lender shall on the date of the
"resizing" of the Loan lend to the Mortgage Borrower (by way of a reallocation
of the principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and the Loan) an additional amount
equal to the amount of principal reduction of the Loan, provided that Mortgage
Borrower and Mezzanine Borrower execute and deliver any and all necessary
modifications to the Loan Documents (Mortgage) and Loan Documents (Second
Mezzanine). In connection with the foregoing, Mezzanine Borrower agrees, at
Mezzanine Borrower's sole cost and expense, to execute and deliver such
documents and other agreements reasonably required by Mortgage Lender and/or
Mezzanine Lender to "re-size" the Loan and the Mortgage Loan, including, without
limitation, an amendment to this Agreement, the Mezzanine Note, the Pledge and
the other Loan Documents (Mortgage) and, if the principal amount of the Mortgage
Loan is increased, an endorsement to the Title Policy reflecting an increase in
the insured amount thereunder. Mezzanine Borrower agrees to reimburse Mezzanine
Lender for all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by Mezzanine Lender in connection with
any "resizing" of the Loan and to pay for any additional "Eagle 9" or other UCC
insurance coverage reasonably required by Mezzanine Lender in connection with
any increase in the principal amount of any Mezzanine Loan, and shall deliver
opinions of counsel similar to those delivered on the date hereof with respect
to Mezzanine
61
Borrower and the Mezzanine Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mezzanine
Lender agrees that any "resizing" of the Mortgage Loan and the Loan shall not
change the economics of the Mortgage Loan, Mezzanine Loan, Junior Mezzanine
Loans and the Loan taken as a whole in a manner which is adverse to Mezzanine
Borrower.
(c) In addition, Mezzanine Borrower shall, at Mezzanine Borrower's
sole cost and expense:
(i) furnish to Mezzanine Lender, to the extent not otherwise
already furnished to Mezzanine Lender and reasonably acceptable to Mezzanine
Lender, all instruments, documents, boundary surveys, footing or foundation
surveys, certificates, plans and specifications, appraisals, title and other
insurance reports and agreements, and each and every other document,
certificate, agreement and instrument required to be furnished by Mortgage
Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents (Mortgage);
(ii) execute and deliver, from time to time, such further
instruments (including, without limitation, authorize or deliver of any
financing statements under the UCC) as may be reasonably requested by Mezzanine
Lender to confirm the lien of the Pledge and this Agreement or any Collateral;
(iii) execute and deliver to Mezzanine Lender such documents,
instruments, certificates, assignments and other writings, and do such other
acts necessary to evidence, preserve and/or protect the collateral at any time
securing or intended to secure the obligations of Mezzanine Borrower under the
Loan Documents (Second Mezzanine), as Mezzanine Lender may reasonably require;
(iv) do and execute all and such further lawful and reasonable
acts, conveyances and assurances for the carrying out of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (Second Mezzanine), as
Mezzanine Lender shall reasonably require from time to time; and
(v) cause its New York counsel to re-issue the New York
opinion delivered on the date hereof (in identical form and without updating) in

acquired and whether now existing or hereafter arising (collectively, the RATE

soon as such agreement is effective or when and if any replacement agreement
becomes effective, any Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement (Second
Mezzanine) or Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreement); (ii) to receive any and
all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (or, when and if any such

Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement (Second Mezzanine) or Extension Interest
Rate Cap Agreement), in each case including all accessions and additions to,
substitutions for and replacements, products and proceeds of any of the
foregoing. Mezzanine Borrower shall deliver to Mezzanine Lender an executed
counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Replacement Interest Rate Cap
Agreement (Second Mezzanine) or Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreement (Second
Mezzanine) (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Mezzanine

Mezzanine) or Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreement or by separate instrument).
Mezzanine Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of
Mezzanine Lender, further pledge, transfer, deliver, assign or grant any
security interest in the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (Second Mezzanine)(or, when
and if any such agreement becomes effective, any Replacement Interest Rate Cap
Agreement (Second Mezzanine) or Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreement), or
permit any Lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made
thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements or any other notice or instrument as
may be required under the UCC, as appropriate, except those naming Mezzanine
Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, upon a prepayment of a portion of the principal amount of the
Loan, Mezzanine Borrower shall have the right to transfer a portion of the
Interest Rate Cap Agreement (Second Mezzanine) or to reduce the notional amount
thereof so long as the notional amount remaining under the Interest Rate Cap
Agreement (Second Mezzanine) equals or exceeds the then Principal Amount of the
Mezzanine Note. Mezzanine Lender agrees to reasonably cooperate with Mezzanine
Borrower, at Mezzanine Borrower's sole cost and expense, to effect such transfer
or reduction, free of Mezzanine Lender's Lien on such Agreement.

material right which it may have under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (Second

SECTION 9.6 REMEDIES. Subject to the provisions of the Interest Rate
Cap Agreement (Second Mezzanine), if an Event of Default shall occur and then be
continuing:
(a) Mezzanine Lender, without obligation to resort to any other
security, right or remedy granted under any other agreement or instrument, shall
have the right to, in addition to all rights, powers and remedies of a secured
party pursuant to the UCC, at any time and from time to time, sell, resell,
assign and deliver, in its sole discretion, any or all of the Rate Cap
Collateral (Second Mezzanine) (in one or more parcels and at the same or
different times) and all right, title and interest, claim and demand therein and
right of redemption thereof, at public or private sale, for cash, upon credit or
for future delivery, and in connection therewith Mezzanine Lender may grant
options and may impose reasonable conditions such as requiring any purchaser to
represent that any "securities" constituting any part of the Rate Cap Collateral
(Second Mezzanine) are being purchased for investment only, Mezzanine Borrower
hereby waiving and releasing any and all equity or right of redemption to the
fullest extent permitted by the UCC or applicable law. If all or any of the Rate
Cap Collateral (Second Mezzanine) is sold by Mezzanine Lender upon credit or for
future delivery, Mezzanine Lender shall not be liable for the failure of the
purchaser to purchase or pay for the same and, in the event of any such failure,
Mezzanine Lender may resell such Rate Cap Collateral (Second Mezzanine). It is
expressly agreed that Mezzanine Lender may exercise its rights with respect to
less than all of the Rate Cap Collateral (Second Mezzanine), leaving unexercised
its rights with respect to the remainder of the Rate Cap Collateral (Second
Mezzanine), provided, however, that such partial exercise shall in no way
restrict or jeopardize Mezzanine Lender's right to exercise its rights with
respect to all or any other portion of the Rate Cap Collateral (Second
Mezzanine) at a later time or times.
(b) Mezzanine Lender may exercise, either by itself or by its
nominee or designee, in the name of Mezzanine Borrower, all of Mezzanine
Lender's rights, powers and remedies in respect of the Rate Cap Collateral
(Second Mezzanine), hereunder and under law.
(c) Mezzanine Borrower hereby irrevocably, in the name of Mezzanine
Borrower or otherwise, authorizes and empowers Mezzanine Lender and assigns and
transfers unto Mezzanine Lender, and constitutes and appoints Mezzanine Lender
its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, and as its agent, irrevocably, with full
power of substitution for Mezzanine Borrower and in the name of Mezzanine
Borrower, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
(i) to exercise and enforce every right, power, remedy, authority, option and
privilege of Mezzanine Borrower under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (Second
Mezzanine), including any power to subordinate or modify the Interest Rate Cap
Agreement (Second Mezzanine) (but not, unless an Event of Default exists and is
continuing, the right to terminate or cancel the Interest Rate Cap Agreement
(Second Mezzanine)), or to give
86
any notices, or to take any action resulting in such subordination, termination,
cancellation or modification and (ii) in order to more fully vest in Mezzanine
Lender the rights and remedies provided for herein, to exercise all of the
rights, remedies and powers granted to Mezzanine Lender in this Agreement, and
Mezzanine Borrower further authorizes and empowers Mezzanine Lender, as
Mezzanine Borrower's attorney-in-fact, and as its agent, irrevocably, with full
power of substitution for Mezzanine Borrower and in the name of Mezzanine
Borrower, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
to give any authorization, to furnish any information, to make any demands, to
execute any instruments and to take any and all other action on behalf of and in
the name of Mezzanine Borrower which in the opinion of Mezzanine Lender may be
necessary or appropriate to be given, furnished, made, exercised or taken under
the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (Second Mezzanine), in order to comply
therewith, to perform the conditions thereof or to prevent or remedy any default
by Mezzanine Borrower thereunder or to enforce any of the rights of Mezzanine
Borrower thereunder. These powers-of-attorney are irrevocable and coupled with
an interest, and any similar or dissimilar powers heretofore given by Mezzanine
Borrower in respect of the Rate Cap Collateral (Second Mezzanine) to any other
Person are hereby revoked.
(d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Mezzanine Lender may, without notice to, or assent by, Mezzanine
Borrower or any other Person (to the extent permitted by law), but without
affecting any of the Obligations (Second Mezzanine), in the name of Mezzanine
Borrower or in the name of Mezzanine Lender, notify the Counterparty, or if
applicable, any other counterparty to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (Second
Mezzanine), to make payment and performance directly to Mezzanine Lender; extend
the time of payment and performance of, compromise or settle for cash, credit or
otherwise, and upon any terms and conditions, any obligations owing to Mezzanine
Borrower, or claims of Mezzanine Borrower, under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement
(Second Mezzanine); file any claims, commence, maintain or discontinue any
actions, suits or other proceedings deemed by Mezzanine Lender necessary or
advisable for the purpose of collecting upon or enforcing the Interest Rate Cap
Agreement (Second Mezzanine); and execute any instrument and do all other things
deemed necessary and proper by Mezzanine Lender to protect and preserve and
realize upon the Rate Cap Collateral (Second Mezzanine) and the other rights
contemplated hereby.
(e) Pursuant to the powers-of-attorney provided for above, Mezzanine
Lender may take any action and exercise and execute any instrument which it may
deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof; provided,
however, that Mezzanine Lender shall not be permitted to take any action
pursuant to said power-of-attorney that would conflict with any limitation on
Mezzanine Lender's rights with respect to the Rate Cap Collateral (Second
Mezzanine). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Mezzanine Lender,
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, shall have the right and power to
receive, endorse and collect all checks and other orders for the payment of
money made payable to Mezzanine Borrower representing: (i) any payment of
obligations owed pursuant to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (Second Mezzanine),
(ii) interest accruing on any of the Rate Cap Collateral (Second Mezzanine) or
(iii) any other payment or distribution payable in respect of the Rate Cap
Collateral (Second Mezzanine) or any part thereof, and for and in the name,
place and stead of Mezzanine Borrower, to execute endorsements, assignments or
other instruments of conveyance or transfer in respect of any property which is
or may become a part of the Rate Cap Collateral (Second Mezzanine) hereunder.
87
(f) Mezzanine Lender may exercise all of the rights and remedies of
a secured party under the UCC.
(g) Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement or any of
Mezzanine Borrower's rights hereunder, and without waiving or releasing
Mezzanine Borrower from any obligation or default hereunder, Mezzanine Lender
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform any act or take any
appropriate action, as it, in its reasonable judgment, may deem necessary to
protect the security of this Agreement, to cure such Event of Default or to
cause any term, covenant, condition or obligation required under this Agreement
or the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (Second Mezzanine) to be performed or
observed by Mezzanine Borrower to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of
Mezzanine Borrower. All amounts advanced by, or on behalf of, Mezzanine Lender
in exercising its rights under this Section 9.7(g) (including, but not limited
to, reasonable legal expenses and disbursements incurred in connection
therewith), together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of
each such advance, shall be payable by Mezzanine Borrower to Mezzanine Lender
upon demand and shall be secured by this Agreement.
SECTION 9.7 SALES OF RATE CAP COLLATERAL (SECOND MEZZANINE). No
demand, advertisement or notice, all of which are, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, hereby expressly waived by Mezzanine Borrower, shall be
required in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or any part of
the Rate Cap Collateral (Second Mezzanine), except that Mezzanine Lender shall
give Mezzanine Borrower at least thirty (30) Business Days' prior written notice
of the time and place of any public sale or of the time when and the place where
any private sale or other disposition is to be made, which notice Mezzanine
Borrower hereby agrees is reasonable, all other demands, advertisements and
notices being hereby waived. To the extent permitted by law, Mezzanine Lender
shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Rate Cap Collateral (Second
Mezzanine) if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that
notice of sale may have been given, and Mezzanine Lender may without notice or
publication adjourn any public or private sale, and such sale may, without
further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so
adjourned. Upon each private sale of the Rate Cap Collateral (Second Mezzanine)
of a type customarily sold in a recognized market and upon each public sale,
unless prohibited by any applicable statute which cannot be waived, Mezzanine
Lender (or its nominee or designee) may purchase any or all of the Rate Cap
Collateral (Second Mezzanine) being sold, free and discharged from any trusts,
claims, equity or right of redemption of Mezzanine Borrower, all of which are
hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law, and may make payment
therefor by credit against any of the Obligations (Second Mezzanine) in lieu of
cash or any other obligations. In the case of all sales of the Rate Cap
Collateral (Second Mezzanine), public or private, Mezzanine Borrower shall pay
all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind for sale or delivery, including
brokers' and attorneys' fees and disbursements and any tax imposed thereon.
However, the proceeds of sale of Rate Cap Collateral (Second Mezzanine) shall be
available to cover such costs and expenses, and, after deducting such costs and
expenses from the proceeds of sale, Mezzanine Lender shall apply any residue to
the payment of the Obligations (Second Mezzanine) in the order of priority as
set forth in Section 17.5.
SECTION 9.8 PUBLIC SALES NOT POSSIBLE. Mezzanine Borrower
acknowledges that the terms of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (Second
Mezzanine) may prohibit public sales,
88
that the Rate Cap Collateral (Second Mezzanine) may not be of the type
appropriately sold at public sales, and that such sales may be prohibited by
law. In light of these considerations, Mezzanine Borrower agrees that private
sales of the Rate Cap Collateral (Second Mezzanine) shall not be deemed to have
been made in a commercially unreasonably manner by mere virtue of having been
made privately.
SECTION 9.9 RECEIPT OF SALE PROCEEDS. Upon any sale of the Rate Cap
Collateral (Second Mezzanine) by Mezzanine Lender hereunder (whether by virtue
of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial process or otherwise),
the receipt by Mezzanine Lender or the officer making the sale or the proceeds
of such sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of
the Rate Cap Collateral (Second Mezzanine) so sold, and such purchaser or
purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the
purchase money paid over to Mezzanine Lender or such officer or be answerable in
any way for the misapplication or non-application thereof.
SECTION 9.10 EXTENSION INTEREST RATE CAP AGREEMENT (SECOND
MEZZANINE). If Mezzanine Borrower exercises any of its options to extend the
Maturity Date pursuant to Section 5 of the Note, then, on or prior to the
Maturity Date being extended, the Mezzanine Borrower shall obtain or have in
place an Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) having a term through the end
of the Interest Period in which the extended Maturity Date occurs, (ii) in a
notional amount at least equal to the Principal Amount of the Loan as of the
Maturity Date being extended, and (iii) having a strike rate equal to an amount
such that the maximum interest rate paid by the Mezzanine Borrower after giving
effect to payments made under such Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall
equal no more than the Maximum LIBOR Pay Rate (Second Mezzanine).

12.2.1 COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS. Subject to Mortgage
Borrower's right to contest under Section 7.3 of the Loan Agreement (Mortgage),
Mezzanine Borrower covenants and agrees with Mezzanine Lender that it shall
comply and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to comply in all material respects with
all Environmental Laws. If at any time during the continuance of the Lien of the
Security Instrument and/or Pledge, a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction
over the Property requires remedial action to correct the presence of Hazardous
Materials in, around, or under the Property (an ENVIRONMENTAL EVENT), Mezzanine
Borrower shall deliver prompt notice of the occurrence of such Environmental
Event to Mezzanine Lender. Within thirty (30) days after Mezzanine Borrower has

deliver to Mezzanine Lender an Officer's Certificate (an ENVIRONMENTAL

forth the proposed remedial action, if any. Mezzanine Borrower shall promptly
provide Mezzanine Lender with copies of all notices which allege or identify any
actual or potential violation or noncompliance received by or prepared by or for

12.2.2 RESERVED.
SECTION 12.3 ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS. Upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Environmental Event with respect to the Property or an
Event of Default, Mezzanine Lender shall have the right to have its consultants
perform a comprehensive environmental audit of the Property. Such audit shall be
conducted by an environmental consultant chosen by Mezzanine Lender and may
include a visual survey, a record review, an area reconnaissance assessing the
presence of hazardous or toxic waste or substances, PCBs or storage tanks at the
Property, an asbestos survey of the Property, which may include random sampling
of the Improvements and air quality testing, and such further site assessments
as Mezzanine Lender may reasonably require due to the results obtained from the
foregoing. Mezzanine Borrower grants (and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to
grant) to Mezzanine Lender, its agents, consultants and contractors the right to
enter the Property as reasonable or appropriate for the circumstances for the
purposes of performing such studies and the reasonable cost of such studies
shall be due and payable by Mezzanine Borrower to Mezzanine Lender upon demand
and shall be secured by the Lien of this Agreement and the Pledge. Mezzanine
Lender shall not unreasonably interfere with (and shall cause Mortgage Borrower
not to unreasonably interfere with), and Mezzanine Lender shall direct the
environmental consultant to use its commercially reasonable efforts not to
hinder, Mortgage Borrower's or any Tenant's, other occupant's or Manager's
operations upon the Property when conducting such audit, sampling or
inspections. By undertaking any of the measures identified in and pursuant to
this Section 12.3, Mezzanine Lender shall not be deemed to be exercising any
control over the operations of Mezzanine Borrower or Mortgage Borrower or the
handling of any environmental matter or hazardous
91
wastes or substances of Mezzanine Borrower or Mortgage Borrower for purposes of
incurring or being subject to liability therefor.
SECTION 12.4 ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNIFICATION. Mezzanine Borrower shall
protect, indemnify, save, defend, and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from
and against any and all liability, loss, damage, actions, causes of action,
costs or expenses whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses)
and any and all claims, suits and judgments which any Indemnified Party may
suffer, as a result of or with respect to: (a) any Environmental Claim relating
to or arising from the Property; (b) the violation of any Environmental Law in
connection with the Property; (c) any release, spill, or the presence of any
Hazardous Materials affecting the Property; and (d) the presence at, in, on or
under, or the release, escape, seepage, leakage, discharge or migration at or
from, the Property of any Hazardous Materials, whether or not such condition was
known or unknown to Mezzanine Borrower; provided that, in each case, Mezzanine
Borrower shall be relieved of its obligation under this subsection if any of the
matters referred to in clauses (a) through (d) above did not occur (but need not
have been discovered) prior to the foreclosure of the Pledge. If any such action
or other proceeding shall be brought against Mezzanine Lender, upon written
notice from Mezzanine Borrower to Mezzanine Lender (given reasonably promptly
following Mezzanine Lender's notice to Mezzanine Borrower of such action or
proceeding), Mezzanine Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof,
at Mezzanine Borrower's expense, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Mezzanine
Lender; provided, however, Mezzanine Lender may, at its own expense, retain
separate counsel to participate in such defense, but such participation shall
not be deemed to give Mezzanine Lender a right to control such defense, which
right Mezzanine Borrower expressly retains. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each
Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at Mezzanine
Borrower's expense if, in the reasonable opinion of legal counsel, a conflict or
potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and Mezzanine Borrower
that would make such separate representation advisable. Mezzanine Borrower shall
have no obligation to indemnify an Indemnified Party for damage or loss
resulting from such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
SECTION 12.5 RECOURSE NATURE OF CERTAIN INDEMNIFICATIONS.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement or in any
other Loan Document (Second Mezzanine), the indemnification provided in Section
12.4 shall be fully recourse to Mezzanine Borrower and shall be independent of,
and shall survive, the discharge of the Indebtedness, the release of the Lien
created by the Pledge, and/or the conveyance of title to the Collateral to
Mezzanine Lender or any purchaser or designee in connection with a foreclosure
of the Pledge or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure.

SECTION 17.2 REMEDIES.
(a) Unless waived in writing by Mezzanine Lender, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or
more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Mezzanine
Lender against Mezzanine Borrower and Guarantor under this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents (Second Mezzanine) executed and delivered by, or
applicable to, Mezzanine Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by
Mezzanine Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of
the Indebtedness shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Mezzanine
Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the
enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents (Second
Mezzanine) with respect to the Collateral. Any such actions taken by Mezzanine
Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently,
singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as
Mezzanine 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 Mezzanine Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set
forth herein or in the other Loan Documents (Second Mezzanine). Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Mezzanine Borrower agrees that if an Event of
Default is continuing (i) Mezzanine Lender shall not be subject to any one
action or election of remedies law or rule and (ii) all liens and other rights,
remedies or privileges provided to Mezzanine Lender shall remain in full force
and effect until Mezzanine Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the
Collateral and this Agreement and the Pledge have been foreclosed, sold and/or
otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Indebtedness or the Indebtedness
has been paid in full.
(b) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Mezzanine Lender
may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on
Mezzanine Borrower and without releasing Mezzanine Borrower from any obligation
hereunder, take any action to cure such Event of Default. Mezzanine Lender may
appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interests in
the Collateral or to foreclose its security interest under this
100
Agreement and the Pledge or under any of the other Loan Documents (Second
Mezzanine) or collect the Indebtedness.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, with respect to the Account Collateral (Second Mezzanine), the
Mezzanine Lender may:
(i) without notice to Mezzanine Borrower, except as required
by law, and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise
apply all or any part of the Account Collateral (Second Mezzanine) against the
Obligations (Second Mezzanine) or any part thereof;
(ii) in Mezzanine Lender's sole discretion, at any time and
from time to time, exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it
under this Agreement, and/or as a secured party under the UCC;
(iii) demand, collect, take possession of or receipt for,
settle, compromise, adjust, ▇▇▇ for, foreclose or realize upon the Account
Collateral (Second Mezzanine) (or any portion thereof) as Mezzanine Lender may
determine in its sole discretion; and
(iv) take all other actions provided in, or contemplated by,
this Agreement.
(d) With respect to Mezzanine Borrower, the Account Collateral
(Second Mezzanine), the Rate Cap Collateral (Second Mezzanine) and the
Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document (Second
Mezzanine) shall be construed as requiring Mezzanine Lender to resort to the
Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Indebtedness, and Mezzanine Lender
may seek satisfaction out of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute
discretion in respect of the Indebtedness. In addition, Mezzanine Lender shall
have the right from time to time to partially foreclose this Agreement and the
Pledge in any manner and for any amounts secured by this Agreement or the Pledge
then due and payable as determined by Mezzanine Lender in its sole discretion
including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event
Mezzanine Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of
one or more scheduled payments of principal or interest, Mezzanine Lender may
foreclose this Agreement and the Pledge to recover such delinquent payments, or
(ii) in the event Mezzanine Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire
outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Mezzanine Lender may foreclose this
Agreement and the Pledge to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan
as Mezzanine Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by this Agreement
or the Pledge as Mezzanine Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial
foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to this Agreement and the
Pledge to secure payment of sums secured by this Agreement and the Pledge and
not previously recovered.
SECTION 17.3 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; WAIVERS.
The rights, powers and remedies of Mezzanine Lender under this
Agreement and the Loan Documents (Second Mezzanine) shall be cumulative and not
exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Mezzanine Lender may have
against Mezzanine Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents (Second Mezzanine), or existing at law
101
or in equity or otherwise. Mezzanine Lender's rights, powers and remedies may be
pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as
Mezzanine Lender may determine in Mezzanine 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 Mezzanine Borrower or any Guarantor shall not
be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by
Mezzanine Borrower or any Guarantor or to impair any remedy, right or power
consequent thereon.
SECTION 17.4 COSTS OF COLLECTION. In the event that after an Event
of Default: (i) the Mezzanine Note or any of the Loan Documents (Second
Mezzanine) is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement

retained to represent Mezzanine Lender in any bankruptcy, reorganization,
receivership, or other proceedings affecting creditors' rights and involving a
claim under this Agreement, the Mezzanine Note or any of the Loan Documents
(Second Mezzanine); or (iii) an attorney is retained to protect or enforce the
lien or any of the terms of this Agreement, the Pledge or any of the Loan
Documents (Second Mezzanine); then Mezzanine Borrower shall pay to Mezzanine
Lender all reasonable attorney's fees, costs and expenses actually incurred in
connection therewith, including costs of appeal, together with interest on any
judgment obtained by Mezzanine Lender at the Default Rate.
SECTION 17.5 DISTRIBUTION OF COLLATERAL PROCEEDS. In the event that,
following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any
monies are received in connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan
Documents (Second Mezzanine), or otherwise with respect to the realization upon
any of the Collateral, such monies shall be distributed for application as
follows:
(a) First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the
reimbursement of, Mezzanine Lender for or in respect of all reasonable costs,
expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been incurred or sustained
by Mezzanine Lender to protect or preserve the Collateral or in connection with
the collection of such monies by Mezzanine Lender (including without limitation,
enforcement costs), for the exercise, protection or enforcement by Mezzanine
Lender of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of Mezzanine
Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (Second
Mezzanine) or in respect of the Collateral or in support of any provision of
adequate indemnity to Mezzanine Lender against any taxes or liens which by law
shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of Mezzanine Lender to such
monies;
(b) Second, to all other Obligations (Second Mezzanine) in such
order or preference as Mezzanine Lender shall determine in its sole and absolute

Parties are legally entitled to receive under this Section which are not paid
within fifteen (15) Business Days after written demand therefor by the

amount of such demand and the basis therefor, shall bear interest from the date
of demand at the Default Rate, and shall, together with such interest, be part
of the Indebtedness and secured by this Agreement and the Pledge. In case any
action, suit or proceeding is brought against the Indemnified Parties by reason
of any such occurrence, Mezzanine Borrower shall at Mezzanine Borrower's expense
resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or will cause the same to be
resisted and defended by counsel at Mezzanine Borrower's reasonable expense for
the insurer of the liability or by counsel designated by Mezzanine Borrower
(unless reasonably disapproved by Mezzanine Lender promptly after Mezzanine

herein shall compromise the right of Mezzanine Lender (or any Indemnified Party)
to appoint its own counsel at Mezzanine Borrower's expense for its defense with
respect to any action which in its reasonable opinion presents a conflict or
potential conflict between Mezzanine Lender and Mezzanine Borrower that would
make such separate representation advisable; provided further that if Mezzanine
Lender shall have appointed separate counsel pursuant to the foregoing,
Mezzanine Borrower shall not be responsible for the expense of additional
separate counsel of any Indemnified Party unless in the reasonable opinion of
Mezzanine Lender a conflict or potential conflict exists between such
Indemnified Party and Mezzanine Lender. So long as Mezzanine Borrower is
resisting and defending such action, suit or proceeding as provided above in a
prudent and commercially reasonable manner, Mezzanine Lender and the Indemnified
Parties shall not be entitled to settle such action, suit or proceeding without
Mezzanine Borrower's consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, and claim the benefit of this Section with respect to such action, suit
or proceeding and Mezzanine Lender agrees that it will not settle any such
action, suit or proceeding without the consent of Mezzanine Borrower; provided,
however, that if Mezzanine Borrower is not diligently defending such action,
suit or proceeding in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner as provided
above, and Mezzanine Lender has provided Mezzanine Borrower with thirty (30)

SECTION 19.14 OFFSETS, COUNTERCLAIMS AND DEFENSES. Any assignee of

times hereafter any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in

BENEFICIARIES.
(a) Mezzanine Borrower and Mezzanine Lender intend that the

grant Mezzanine Lender any interest in the Collateral other than that of
Mezzanine Lender.
(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents (Second Mezzanine)
are solely for the benefit of Mezzanine Lender and Mezzanine Borrower and
nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (Second
Mezzanine) shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Mezzanine Lender and
Mezzanine 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 Mezzanine Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed
solely and exclusively for the benefit of Mezzanine 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 Mezzanine 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
113
Mezzanine Lender if, in Mezzanine Lender's sole discretion, Mezzanine Lender
deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
SECTION 19.17 PUBLICITY. All news releases, publicity or advertising
by Mezzanine Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the
general public which refers to the Loan Documents (Second Mezzanine) or the

of Mezzanine Lender.
SECTION 19.18 WAIVER OF MARSHALLING OF ASSETS. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, Mezzanine Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns,
waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Mezzanine Borrower,
Mezzanine Borrower's shareholders and others with interests in Mezzanine
Borrower and of the Collateral, and agrees not to assert any right under any
laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of
alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or
any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Mezzanine
Lender under the Loan Documents (Second Mezzanine) to a sale of the Collateral
for the collection of the Indebtedness without any prior or different resort for
collection or of the right of Mezzanine Lender to the payment of the
Indebtedness out of the net proceeds of the Collateral in preference to every
other claimant whatsoever.
SECTION 19.19 WAIVER OF COUNTERCLAIM AND OTHER ACTIONS. Mezzanine
Borrower hereby expressly and unconditionally waives, in connection with any
suit, action or proceeding brought by Mezzanine Lender on this Agreement, the
Mezzanine Note, the Pledge or any Loan Document (Second Mezzanine), any and
every right it may have to (i) interpose any counterclaim therein (other than a
counterclaim which can only be asserted in the suit, action or proceeding
brought by Mezzanine Lender on this Agreement, the Mezzanine Note, the Pledge or
any Loan Document (Second Mezzanine) and cannot be maintained in a separate
action) and (ii) have any such suit, action or proceeding consolidated with any
other or separate suit, action or proceeding.
SECTION 19.20 CONFLICT; CONSTRUCTION OF DOCUMENTS; RELIANCE. In the
event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the
other Loan Documents (Second Mezzanine), 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 (Second Mezzanine) and that such Loan Documents (Second Mezzanine)
shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the
party which drafted same. Mezzanine Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to
the Loan, Mezzanine 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 Mezzanine Lender or any parent, subsidiary
or Affiliate of Mezzanine Lender. Mezzanine 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 (Second Mezzanine) or any other agreements or
instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any
parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Mezzanine Lender of any equity interest any
of them may acquire in Mezzanine Borrower, and Mezzanine Borrower hereby
irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the
basis of the foregoing with respect to Mezzanine
114
Lender's exercise of any such rights or remedies. Mezzanine Borrower
acknowledges that Mezzanine Lender engages in the business of real estate
financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be
viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Mezzanine Borrower or
its Affiliates.
