Once funded, the Term Loans and the Delayed Draw Term Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.1.1 shall be treated uniformly as the Loan without regard to whether the Loan was funded on the Closing Date or pursuant to Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments.

Promptly upon receipt by Administrative Agent of such Funding Notice, Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable Lender of the proposed borrowing. Each Lender shall make its Delayed Draw Term Loan available to Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Funding Date, by wire transfer of same day funds in dollars, at the Contact Office, ABA 021-001-033 for Administrative Agent’s Account No. 99-401-268, Ref: Hudson Hotel, Attn: Tihana Mesic.

2.1.3 The Notes, Security Instrument and Loan Documents. The Loan shall be evidenced by the Notes and secured by the Security Instrument, the Assignment of Leases, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

In the event any such advance or charge is not so repaid by Borrower, Administrative Agent may, at its option, first apply any payments received under the Notes to repay such advances, together with any interest thereon, or other charges as provided in the Loan Documents, together with any interest thereon, and the balance, if any, shall be applied in payment of any installment of interest or principal then due and payable.
2.1.6 Loan Extension.
(i) Provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall have the option, to be exercised by giving written notice to Administrative Agent at least thirty (30) calendar days but not more than ninety (90) calendar days prior to the Initial Maturity Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.1.6(iv), to extend the Initial Maturity Date for all (and not a portion) of the Loan by twelve (12) months to August 12, 2014 (the “First Extended Maturity Date”). The request by Borrower for the extension of the Initial Maturity Date shall constitute a representation and warranty by Borrower that no Default or Event of Default then exists and a covenant by Borrower that all of the conditions set forth in Section 2.1.6(iv) below shall be satisfied on the Initial Maturity Date. Within twenty-five (25) days after Administrative Agent’s receipt of Borrower’s written election, Administrative Agent shall provide to Borrower Administrative Agent’s good faith estimate of the DSCR as of the Initial Maturity Date, and the reduction of principal, if any, required to satisfy Section 2.1.6(iv)(C)
(ii) Provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall have the option, to be exercised by giving written notice to Administrative Agent at least thirty (30) calendar days but not more than ninety (90) calendar days prior to the First Extended Maturity Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.1.6(iv), to extend the First Extended Maturity Date for all (and not a portion) of the Loan by twelve (12) months to August 12, 2015 (the “Second Extended Maturity Date”).

The request by Borrower for the extension of the Second Extended Maturity Date shall constitute a representation and warranty by Borrower that no Default or Event of Default then exists and a covenant by Borrower that all of the conditions set forth in Section 2.1.6(iv) below shall be satisfied on the Second Extended Maturity Date. Within twenty-five (25) days after Administrative Agent’s receipt of Borrower’s written election, Administrative Agent shall provide to Borrower Administrative Agent’s good faith estimate of the Debt Yield Ratio and DSCR as of the Second Extended Maturity Date, and the reduction of principal, if any, required to satisfy Section 2.1.6(iv)(B) and/or Section 2.1.6(iv)(C).

Section 2.2 Interest Rate and Yield-Related Provisions.
2.2.1 Interest Rate.
(a) Prior to the Maturity Date, during the period the Loan is accruing interest at the Applicable LIBO Rate, interest shall accrue on the Principal Amount (subject to the provisions of Sections 2.2.3, 2.2.4 and 2.2.10 below) at the Applicable LIBO Rate as set forth on an interest billing statement delivered by Administrative Agent to Borrower.
(b) Prior to the Maturity Date, during the period the Loan is accruing interest at the Applicable Base Rate, interest shall accrue on the Principal Amount at the Applicable Base Rate as set forth on an interest billing statement delivered by Administrative Agent to Borrower.
(c) From and after the Maturity Date or, at the request of the Required Lenders, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, interest shall accrue on the Principal Amount at the Default Rate.
(d) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, interest shall accrue on all amounts advanced by Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents (other than the Principal Amount, which shall accrue interest in accordance with clauses (a) above) at the Default Rate.
(e) The provisions of this Section 2.2.1 are subject in all events to the provisions of Section 2.2.4 of this Agreement.
2.2.2 Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on the Loan shall be paid by Borrower (i) on the day hereof through August 31, 2011, and (ii) thereafter, monthly, in arrears, on each Payment Date, as set forth in an interest billing statement delivered by Administrative Agent to Borrower (which delivery may be by facsimile or email transmission). All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents shall be made on or before 11:00 a.m. New York City time. Any payments received after such time shall be credited to the next following Business Day. If any interest payment due under the Loan Documents is not paid by Borrower within three (3) days after the date on which it is due (or, if such third (3rd) day is not a Business Day, then the Business Day immediately preceding such day), Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of three percent (3%) of such unpaid sum or the Maximum Legal Rate (the “Late Payment Charge”) in order to defray the expense incurred by Lenders and Administrative Agent in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lenders for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the three day grace period with respect to the applicability of the Late Payment Charge (i) shall only apply to Borrower’s first failure to make a monthly interest payment in any calendar year, (ii) shall not apply to Borrower’s failure to make the Maturity Date Payment and (iii) shall not constitute a payment grace period and shall in no way limit Administrative Agent’s rights under Article XVII.

2.2.3 Inability to Determine Rate. In the event that Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for any Interest Period that has not already commenced, Administrative Agent shall forthwith give telephonic notice of such determination to each Lender and to Borrower. If such notice is given, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall bear interest during each day of any affected Interest Period at the Applicable Base Rate. Administrative Agent shall withdraw such notice in the event that the circumstances giving rise thereto no longer pertain and that adequate and reasonable means exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for the relevant Interest Period, and, following withdrawal of such notice by Administrative Agent, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall bear interest at the Applicable LIBO Rate pursuant to Section 2.2.1 above.
2.2.4 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any law, regulation, treaty or directive issued by any Governmental Authority or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to maintain the Loan based on the LIBO Rate as contemplated by this Agreement, the Loan shall automatically bear interest at the Applicable Base Rate at the end of then-current Interest Period or within such earlier period as may be required by law. In the event of a conversion to interest based on the Base Rate prior to the end of the then-current Interest Period, Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay any Lender affected thereby, upon demand, the amounts required pursuant to Section 2.2.8 below, it being agreed and understood that such conversion shall constitute a prepayment for all purposes hereof. The provisions hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of all other Obligations.
2.2.5 Funding. Each Lender shall be entitled to fund all or any portion of its Percentage Share of the Loan in any manner it may determine in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, in the Grand Cayman inter-bank market, the London inter-bank market and within the United States, but all calculations and transactions hereunder shall be conducted as though all Lenders actually fund the Loan through the purchase of offshore dollar deposits in the amount of such Lender’s Percentage Share of the Loan with a maturity corresponding to the applicable Interest Period.
2.2.6 Requirements of Law; Increased Costs.
(i) In the event that any applicable law, order, regulation, treaty or directive issued by any central bank or other governmental authority, agency or instrumentality or in the governmental or judicial interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) issued by any central bank or other governmental authority, agency or instrumentality, in each case enacted after the date hereof (or any change enacted after the date hereof):
(A) does or shall subject any Lender to any Taxes of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or the Loan, or change the basis of determining the Taxes imposed on payments to such Lender of principal, fee, interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except for Excluded Taxes);

 

-38-


 

(B) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, capital requirement, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirements (other than Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other reserve requirements, in each case to the extent utilized in the determination of the Applicable LIBO Rate for such Loan) against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which are not otherwise included in the determination of interest payable on the Obligations; or
(C) does or shall impose on such Lender any other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, renewing or maintaining its Percentage Share of the Loan or to reduce any amount receivable in respect thereof or the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender, then, in any such case, Borrower shall, without duplication of amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.2.9, promptly pay to such Lender, upon its written demand made through Administrative Agent, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amounts receivable or rate of return as determined by such Lender with respect to this Agreement or such Lender’s Percentage Share of the Loan, so long as such Lender requires substantially all obligors under other commitments of this type made available by such Lender to similarly so compensate such Lender.
(ii) If a Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.6, it shall promptly notify Borrower of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts so claimed payable containing the calculation thereof in reasonable detail submitted by a Lender to Borrower, accompanied by a certification that such Lender has required substantially all obligors under other commitments of this type made available by such Lender to similarly so compensate such Lender, shall constitute prima facie evidence thereof.
(iii) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.6 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate or reimburse a Lender pursuant to this Article II for any increased costs or reductions in return in the event such Lender does not notify Borrower within two hundred and seventy (270) days of such Lender becoming aware of the circumstances; provided, further that if any of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions in return are retroactive, then the two hundred and seventy (270) day period referred to in the preceding proviso shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect. The provisions of this Section 2.2.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the Loan and all other Obligations.

2.2.7 Obligation of Lenders to Mitigate; Replacement of Lenders. Each Lender agrees that:
(i) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering such Lender’s Percentage Share of the Loan becomes aware of any event or condition that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.2.6 above or Section 2.2.9 below or to cease maintaining the Loan based on the LIBO Rate under Section 2.2.4 above, such Lender will use reasonable efforts (i) to maintain its Percentage Share of the Loan through another lending office of such Lender or (ii) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.2.6 above or pursuant to Section 2.2.9 below would be materially reduced or eliminated or the conditions rendering such Lender incapable of maintaining the Loan based on the LIBO Rate under Section 2.2.4 above no longer would be applicable, and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the maintaining of such Lender’s Percentage Share of the Loan through such other lending office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise materially adversely affect the Loan or the interests of such Lender.
(ii) If (A) Borrower receives a notice pursuant to Section 2.2.6 above or pursuant to Section 2.2.9 below or a notice pursuant to Section 2.2.4 above stating that a Lender is unable to maintain the Loan based on the LIBO Rate (for reasons not generally applicable to the Required Lenders) or (B) If any Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) does not consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent of one hundred percent (100%) of Lenders and that has been approved by Required Lenders (each Lender delivering a notice pursuant to clause (A) and each Non-Consenting Lender, an “Affected Lender”), then so long as (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) Borrower has obtained a commitment from another Lender or an Eligible Assignee to purchase at par such Affected Lender’s Percentage Share of the Loan, Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments and accrued interest and fees and to assume all obligations of the Affected Lender to be replaced under the Loan Documents and (iii) such Affected Lender to be replaced is unwilling to withdraw the notice delivered to Borrower or approve the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to such Loan Document, as applicable, upon twenty (20) days’ prior written notice to such Affected Lender and Administrative Agent, Borrower may require, at Borrower’s expense, such Affected Lender to assign, without recourse, all of its Percentage Share of the Loan, Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments and accrued interest and fees to such other Lender or Eligible Assignee pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.1 below. Upon any such assignment, the Affected Lender’s interest in the Loan and its rights hereunder (but not its liability in respect thereof or under the Loan Documents to the extent the same relate to the period prior to the effective date of the purchase) shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Affected Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, and shall pay to Administrative Agent an assignment fee as provided in Section 15.1. In the case of an Affected Lender, the sum required to be paid upon assignment of its Percentage Share of the Loan, Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments and accrued interest and fees shall be (i) the purchase price equal to the outstanding principal of its Percentage Share of the Loan, accrued interest thereon and all accrued fees owing to such Affected Lender, all of which shall be paid by the Assignee, and (ii) all other amounts payable by Borrower to such Affected Lender hereunder (including amounts, if any, payable under Section 2.2.6 or Section 2.2.9), all of which shall be paid by Borrower.

2.2.8 Funding Indemnification. In addition to all other payment obligations hereunder, in the event the Loan is accruing interest at the Applicable LIBO Rate and is prepaid in full or in part prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether following a voluntary prepayment, a mandatory prepayment (other than a mandatory prepayment arising under Section 2.3.3(i) below when no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) or otherwise, then Borrower shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) days of the request of any lender, pay to such Lender, through Administrative Agent, an additional sum compensating such Lender for losses, costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with such prepayment. The loss to any Lender attributable to any such prepayment shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would have accrued on the principal amount so prepaid (the “Incremental Payment”) from the date of such payment to the last day of the then-current Interest Period if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Reserve Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn for such period on an amount equal to the Incremental Payment if such Lender were to invest such amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for dollar deposits from other banks in the eurodollar market at the commencement of such period. A determination of any Lender as to the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.2.8 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
2.2.9 Taxes.
(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.2.9) Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

-41-


 

(ii) In addition, Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(iii) Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.2.9) paid by Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest (except to the extent such penalties and/or interest arise as a result of a Lender’s unreasonable delay in dealing with any such Indemnified Tax or Other Taxes) and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other 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 a Lender or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(iv) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent.
(v) Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to Borrower (with copies to Administrative Agent) on or before the date hereof (or in the case of a Foreign Lender who became a Lender by way of an assignment, on or before the date of the assignment) or at least five (5) Business Days prior to the first date for any payment herewith to such Lender, and from time to time as required for renewal under applicable law, such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, including, without limitation, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as appropriate, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required by Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code or any subsequent version thereof, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender establishing that payments to such Lender hereunder are not subject to withholding or are subject to a reduced rate of withholding under the Code or applicable tax treaty (“Evidence of No Withholding”). Each Foreign Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent of any change in its applicable lending office and upon written request of Borrower or Administrative Agent shall, prior to the immediately following due date of any payment by Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document, deliver Evidence of No Withholding to Borrower and Administrative Agent. Borrower shall be entitled to rely on such forms in their possession until receipt of any revised or successor form pursuant to this Section 2.2.9(v). If a Lender fails to provide Evidence of No Withholding as required pursuant to this Section 2.2.9(v), then (i) Borrower (or Administrative Agent) shall be entitled to deduct or withhold from payments to Administrative Agent or such Lender as a result of such failure, as required by law, and (ii) Borrower shall not be required to make payments of additional amounts with respect to such withheld Taxes pursuant to Section 2.2.9(i) to the extent such withholding is required solely by reason of the failure of such Lender to provide the necessary Evidence of No Withholding. Without limiting Borrower’s rights under the immediately preceding sentence, a Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any form or statement pursuant to Section 2.2.9(v) that such foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver.

 

-42-


 

(vi) If Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including additional amounts paid by Borrower pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the applicable indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the applicable indemnifying party, upon the request of Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees promptly to repay the amount paid over pursuant to this Section (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (vi), in no event will Administrative Agent or such Lender be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (vi) the payment of which would place Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-tax position than Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require Administrative Agent or such Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be required to pay any amounts pursuant to this paragraph (vi) at any time that an Event of Default exists, provided that such amounts shall become due and payable at the time such Event of Default ceases to exist and no other Event of Default exists.
2.2.10 Post-Default/Maturity Date Interest. From and after the Maturity Date if the entire Principal Amount is not repaid on the Maturity Date, and at the request of the Required Lenders at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to three percent (3.0%) above the Applicable Base Rate or the Applicable LIBO Rate, whichever mode is in effect at such time (the “Default Rate”). Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the date of imposition of such interest at the Default Rate until no Event of Default exists or 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 the Security Instrument. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Indebtedness, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Administrative Agent or Lenders by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default, and Administrative Agent and each Lender retains its rights under the Notes to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Indebtedness upon the happening of any Event of Default.

 

-43-


 

2.2.11 Computations. All computations of interest and fees payable hereunder shall be based upon a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year); provided, however, that interest accruing at the Applicable Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and the actual number of days elapsed.
2.2.12 Usury Savings. This Agreement and the Notes are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the Principal Amount of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lenders to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the Principal Amount due under the Notes at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, then the Applicable LIBO Rate, the Applicable Base 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 Notes. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lenders 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.
2.2.13 Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section 2.2 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder, and the termination of this Agreement.
Section 2.3 Payments.
2.3.1 Evidence of Indebtedness. The obligation of Borrower to repay the Loan shall be evidenced by notations on the books and records of Lenders. Such books and records shall constitute prima facie evidence thereof. Any failure to record the interest rate applicable thereto or any other information regarding the Obligations, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower with respect to any of the Obligations. Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to each Lender a Note evidencing such Lender’s Percentage Share of the Loan provided that at all times all Notes issued by Borrower shall be in the aggregate amount of the Principal Amount, as reduced by prior prepayment.

2.3.2 Nature and Place of Payments. All payments made on account of the Obligations shall be made by Borrower, without setoff or counterclaim, in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available same day funds, free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, fees or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority and must be received by Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day of payment, it being expressly agreed and understood that if a payment is received after 2:00 p.m. (New York time) by Administrative Agent, such payment will be considered to have been made by Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable by Borrower at the rate otherwise applicable thereto during such extension. All payments on account of the Obligations shall be made to Administrative Agent through the Contact Office. If any payment required to be made by Borrower hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at then applicable rate during such extension.
2.3.3 Prepayments.
(i) Borrower shall remit to Administrative Agent as a mandatory prepayment for application against the outstanding Principal Amount:
(a) The Proceeds of a Casualty or Condemnation of the Property, to the extent required to be applied to the prepayment of the Loan under Section 6.2.2.
(b) During any Cash Sweep Period, all sums required to be deposited in the Cash Sweep Reserve Account shall be applied as provided in Section 3.1.5.
(ii) If prior to the Restricted Prepayment Date, the Obligations in respect of the principal balance of the Loan are accelerated by reason of an Event of Default, then Lenders shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the unpaid principal and accrued interest and other sums due under the Loan Documents, an amount equal to the Prepayment Premium applicable to such principal so accelerated or paid.
(iii) Upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent (which shall promptly provide telephonic notice of the receipt thereof to each of Lenders), Borrower may voluntarily prepay the principal amount outstanding under the Loan in whole or in part (without any release of collateral securing the Loan) subject to the following conditions: (A) any such prepayment of principal shall be accompanied by the payments required to be made under Section 2.3.3(iv) below; and (B) voluntary prepayments shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. Voluntary prepayments of principal pursuant to this Section 2.3.3(iii), shall not relieve Borrower from the obligation to make mandatory prepayments pursuant to Section 2.3.3(i).

 

-45-


 

(iv) Borrower acknowledges that (a) Lenders are making the Loan in consideration of the receipt by Lenders of all interest and other benefits intended to be conferred by the Loan Documents and (b) if payments of principal are made to Lenders prior to the Restricted Prepayment Date voluntarily or involuntarily as a result of the acceleration of the Loan after an Event of Default, Lenders will not receive all such interest and other benefits and may, in addition, incur costs. For these reasons, and to induce Lenders to make the Loan, Borrower agrees that all payments made voluntarily or involuntarily (other than due to a casualty or condemnation and other than by application of amounts on deposit in the Cash Sweep Reserve Account to the outstanding Principal Amount) or after the acceleration of the principal amount of the Loan on or prior to the Restricted Prepayment Date will be accompanied by the Prepayment Premium. Such Prepayment Premium shall be required whether payment is made by Borrower, by a Person on behalf of Borrower, or by the purchaser at any foreclosure sale, and may be included in any bid by Lenders at such sale. Borrower further acknowledges that (A) it is a knowledgeable real estate developer and/or investor; (B) it fully understands the effect of the provisions of this Section 2.3.3(iv), as well as the other provisions of the Loan Documents; (C) the making of the Loan by Lenders at the interest rate provided and other terms set forth in the Loan Documents are sufficient consideration for Borrower’s obligation to pay a Prepayment Premium (if required); and (D) Lenders would not make the Loan on the terms set forth herein without the inclusion of such provisions. Borrower also acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement limiting the right of prepayment and providing for the payment of the Prepayment Premium and other charges specified herein were independently negotiated and bargained for, and constitute a specific material part of the consideration given by Borrower to Lenders for the making of the Loan.
(v) Borrower shall pay in connection with any prepayment hereunder, whether voluntary or mandatory, (a) all interest accrued but unpaid on that portion of the Loan to which such prepayment is applied (which interest, if such prepayment is made on a date other than a Payment Date, shall be deemed to have accrued on such portion of the Loan through the end of the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs), (b) with respect to voluntary or involuntary prepayments prior to the Restricted Prepayment Date (other than due to a casualty or condemnation and other than by application of amounts on deposit in the Cash Sweep Reserve Account to the outstanding Principal Amount), the Prepayment Premium, (c) all amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.2.8 above, and (d) all costs and expenses of Administrative Agent and Lenders incurred in connection with the prepayment (including without limitation, any costs and expenses associated with a release of any Liens as well as reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), in each case concurrently with payment of any principal amounts.
2.3.4 Allocation of Payments Received.
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the Obligations, and unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts received by Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations shall be disbursed by Administrative Agent to Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Shares, by wire transfer of like funds received on the date of receipt if received by Administrative Agent before 2:00 p.m. (New York time) or if received later, by 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the next succeeding Business Day, without further interest payable by Administrative Agent.

(ii) Following the occurrence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the Obligations, all amounts received by Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations, shall be promptly disbursed by Administrative Agent as follows:
(A) First, to the payment of out-of-pocket third party expenses and fees incurred by Administrative Agent in the performance of its duties and the enforcement of the rights of Lenders under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses of collection, “workout”, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and other amounts payable as provided in Section 14.7 below;
(B) Then, to Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Shares, until interest accrued on the Loan has been paid in full;
(C) Then, to Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Shares, until principal under the Loan has been paid in full;
(D) Then, to Lenders, pro rata to each Lender in accordance with the amount expressed in a percentage, which the amount of remaining Obligations owed to such Lender bears to all remaining Obligations held by all Lenders, until all other Obligations have been paid in full.
(iii) The order of priority set forth in Section 2.3.4(ii) and the related provisions of this Agreement are set forth solely to determine the rights and priorities of Administrative Agent and the other Lenders as among themselves. The order of priority set forth in clauses (B) through (D) of Section 2.3.4(ii) may at any time and from time to time be changed by the Required Lenders without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by Borrower or any other Person. The order of priority set forth in clause (A) of Section 2.3.4(ii) may be changed only with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent.
2.3.5 Prepayments After Event of Default. If, following an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall accelerate the Indebtedness and Borrower thereafter tenders payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness, or if all or any portion of the Indebtedness is recovered by Lenders after such Event of Default, (a) such payment may be made only on the next occurring Payment Date together with all unpaid interest thereon as calculated through the end of the Interest Period during which such Payment Date occurs (even if such period extends beyond such Payment Date and calculated as if such payment had not been made on such Payment Date), and all other fees and sums payable hereunder or under the Loan Documents, including without limitation, interest that has accrued at the Default Rate, any Late Payment Charges, and the payment of any Prepayment Premium, if any), and (b) such payment shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower.

In such event, Borrower shall submit to Administrative Agent, on a date prior to the date of such release or assignment sufficient to provide a reasonable period for review thereof, a release of lien or assignment of lien, as applicable, for such property for execution by Administrative Agent.

(D) If Borrower does not furnish to Administrative Agent the certificates as required under clause (C) above, upon five (5) Business Days prior notice to the risk management contact for Borrower, Administrative Agent may procure, but shall not be obligated to procure, such replacement policy or policies and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrower agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent for the cost of such Insurance Premiums promptly on demand. Notwithstanding the above, Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion and at its own expense, for the five (5) day specified cure period, may obtain such replacement policy or policies if Borrower does not timely furnish to Administrative Agent the certificates of insurance as required under clause (C) above.

In addition, no payment made prior to the Final Completion of the Restoration (excluding punch-list items) shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the aggregate value of the work performed from time to time; funds other than Proceeds shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such Proceeds; and at all times, the undisbursed balance of such Proceeds remaining in the hands of Administrative Agent, together with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent by or on behalf of Borrower for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent to pay for the cost of completion of the Restoration, free and clear of all Liens or claims for Lien. Prior to any disbursement, Administrative Agent shall have received evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent in its good faith judgment of the estimated cost of completion of the Restoration (such estimate to be made by Borrower’s architect or contractor and approved by Administrative Agent), and Borrower shall have deposited with Administrative Agent Eligible Collateral in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of such estimated cost of completion over the net Proceeds.
6.2.5 Condemnation.
(A) Borrower shall promptly give Administrative Agent written notice of the actual commencement or written threat of commencement of any Condemnation and shall deliver to Administrative Agent copies of any and all papers served in connection with such Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower, regardless of whether Proceeds are available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the same to the extent practicable to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such Condemnation, all to be effected in accordance with the terms hereof applicable to Alterations.

(B) Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any Proceeds in respect of a Condemnation and to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such Condemnation, subject to the provisions of this Section. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (x) in the event of a Condemnation where the loss does not exceed the Threshold Amount, Borrower may settle and compromise such Proceeds; provided that the same is effected in a competent and timely manner, and (y) in the event of a Condemnation, where the loss exceeds the Threshold Amount, Borrower may settle and compromise the Proceeds only with the consent of Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and Administrative Agent shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, in any litigation and settlement discussions in respect thereof. Notwithstanding any Condemnation by any public or quasi-public authority (including any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of such a Condemnation), Borrower shall continue to pay the Indebtedness at the time and in the manner provided for in the Notes, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Indebtedness shall not be reduced unless and until any Proceeds shall have been actually received and applied by Administrative Agent to discharge the Indebtedness, pay required interest and pay any other required amounts, in each case, pursuant to the terms of Sections 6.2.2 or 6.2.3 above. Administrative Agent shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Proceeds by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Proceeds interest at the rate or rates provided in the Notes and this Agreement. Borrower shall cause any Proceeds that are payable to Borrower to be paid directly to Administrative Agent to be held and applied in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 7.3 Contest. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Borrower to pay, or cause to be paid, any Imposition or to satisfy any Lien, or to comply with any Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement, so long as Borrower is in good faith diligently contesting (including, without limitation, by instituting appropriate legal proceedings, when necessary) the validity, amount or application thereof, provided that in each case, at the time of the commencement of any such action or contest, and during the pendency of such action or contest (i) Borrower shall keep Administrative Agent informed of the status of such contest at reasonable intervals, (ii) if Borrower is not providing security as provided in clause (iii) below, adequate reserves with respect thereto are maintained on Borrower’s books in accordance with GAAP or in the Tax Reserve Account or Insurance Reserve Account, as applicable, (iii) such contest is maintained and prosecuted continuously and with diligence or the Imposition or Lien is fully bonded to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent, (iv) in the case of any Insurance Requirement, the failure of Borrower to comply therewith shall not impair the validity of any insurance required to be maintained by Borrower under Section 6.1 or the right to full payment of any claims thereunder, and (v) in the case of Impositions and Liens which are not bonded in excess of $500,000 individually, or in the aggregate, during such contest, Borrower, shall deposit with or deliver to Administrative Agent Cash and Cash Equivalents in an amount equal to 125% of (A) the amount of Borrower’s obligations being contested plus (B) any additional interest, charge, or penalty arising from such contest, or, if the obligations being contested are less than $500,000, may, in lieu of delivering such Cash or Cash Equivalents, deliver a guaranty of the payment of such amounts from the Guarantor in a form reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the creation of any such reserves or the furnishing of any bond or other security, Borrower promptly shall comply with any contested Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement or shall pay any contested Imposition or Lien, and compliance therewith or payment thereof shall not be deferred, if, at any time the Property or any portion thereof shall be, in Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment, in imminent danger of being forfeited or lost or Administrative Agent is likely to be subject to civil or criminal damages as a result thereof. If such action or proceeding is terminated or discontinued adversely to Borrower, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent reasonable evidence of Borrower’s compliance with such contested Imposition, Lien, Legal Requirements or Insurance Requirements, as the case may be.

(A) Administrative Agent, 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 (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 Administrative Agent 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 are being purchased for investment only, 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 is sold by Administrative Agent upon credit or for future delivery, Administrative Agent 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, Administrative Agent may resell such Rate Cap Collateral. It is expressly agreed that Administrative Agent may exercise its rights with respect to less than all of the Rate Cap Collateral, leaving unexercised its rights with respect to the remainder of the Rate Cap Collateral, provided, however, that such partial exercise shall in no way restrict or jeopardize Administrative Agent’s right to exercise its rights with respect to all or any other portion of the Rate Cap Collateral at a later time or times.
(B) Administrative Agent may exercise, either by itself or by its nominee or designee, in the name of Borrower, all of Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and remedies in respect of the Rate Cap Collateral, hereunder and under law.
(C) Borrower hereby irrevocably, in the name of Borrower or otherwise, authorizes and empowers Administrative Agent and assigns and transfers unto Administrative Agent, and constitutes and appoints Administrative Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, and as its agent, irrevocably, with full power of substitution for Borrower and in the name of Borrower, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) to exercise and enforce every right, power, remedy, authority,

 

-118-


 

option and privilege of Borrower under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, including any power to subordinate or Modify the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (but not, unless an Event of Default exists and is continuing, the right to terminate or cancel the Interest Rate Cap Agreement), or to give any notices, or to take any action resulting in such subordination, termination, cancellation or modification and (ii) in order to more fully vest in Administrative Agent the rights and remedies provided for herein, to exercise all of the rights, remedies and powers granted to Administrative Agent in this Agreement, and Borrower further authorizes and empowers Administrative Agent, as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, and as its agent, irrevocably, with full power of substitution for Borrower and in the name of 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 Borrower which in the opinion of Administrative Agent may be necessary or appropriate to be given, furnished, made, exercised or taken under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, in order to comply therewith, to perform the conditions thereof or to prevent or remedy any default by Borrower thereunder or to enforce any of the rights of Borrower thereunder. These powers-of-attorney are irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and any similar or dissimilar powers heretofore given by Borrower in respect of the Rate Cap Collateral to any other Person are hereby revoked.
(D) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may, without notice to, or assent by, Borrower or any other Person (to the extent permitted by law), but without affecting any of the Obligations, in the name of Borrower or in the name of Administrative Agent, notify the Counterparty, or if applicable, any other counterparty to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, to make payment and performance directly to Administrative Agent; 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 Borrower, or claims of Borrower, under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement; file any claims, commence, maintain or discontinue any actions, suits or other proceedings deemed by Administrative Agent necessary or advisable for the purpose of collecting upon or enforcing the Interest Rate Cap Agreement; and execute any instrument and do all other things deemed necessary and proper by Administrative Agent to protect and preserve and realize upon the Rate Cap Collateral and the other rights contemplated hereby.
(E) Pursuant to the powers-of-attorney provided for above, Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent shall not be permitted to take any action pursuant to said power-of-attorney that would conflict with any limitation on Administrative Agent’s rights with respect to the Rate Cap Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent, 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 Borrower representing: (i) any payment of obligations owed pursuant to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (ii) interest accruing on any of the Rate Cap Collateral or (iii) any other payment or distribution payable in respect of the Rate Cap Collateral or any part thereof, and for and in the name, place and stead of 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 hereunder.

(F) Administrative Agent 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 Borrower’s rights hereunder, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any obligation or default hereunder, Administrative Agent 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 to be performed or observed by Borrower to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Borrower. All amounts advanced by, or on behalf of, Administrative Agent 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 Borrower to Administrative Agent upon demand and shall be secured by this Agreement.
Section 9.7 Sales of Rate Cap Collateral. No demand, advertisement or notice, all of which are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, hereby expressly waived by Borrower, shall be required in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Rate Cap Collateral, except that Administrative Agent shall give 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 Borrower hereby agrees is reasonable, all other demands, advertisements and notices being hereby waived. To the extent permitted by law, Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Rate Cap Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale may have been given, and Administrative Agent 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 of a type customarily sold in a recognized market and upon each public sale, unless prohibited by any applicable statute which cannot be waived, Administrative Agent (or its nominee or designee) may purchase any or all of the Rate Cap Collateral being sold, free and discharged from any trusts, claims, equity or right of redemption of 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 in lieu of cash or any other obligations. In the case of all sales of the Rate Cap Collateral, public or private, 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 shall be available to cover such costs and expenses, and, after deducting such costs and expenses from the proceeds of sale, Administrative Agent shall apply any residue to the payment of the Obligations in the order of priority as set forth in Section 11 of the Security Instrument.

Section 9.8 Public Sales Not Possible. Borrower acknowledges that the terms of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement may prohibit public sales, that the Rate Cap Collateral 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, Borrower agrees that private sales of the Rate Cap Collateral 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 by Administrative Agent hereunder (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial process or otherwise), the receipt by Administrative Agent 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 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 Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication or non- application thereof.
Section 9.10 Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreement. If Borrower exercises any of its options to extend the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2.1.6, then, on or prior to the Maturity Date being extended, 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 Borrower after giving effect to payments made under such Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall equal no more than the applicable LIBOR Cap Strike Rate.

Borrower hereby authorizes the filing of a form UCC-1 financing statement naming Borrower as debtors and Administrative Agent as secured party in any office (including the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware) covering all property of Borrower (including, but not limited to, the Account Collateral and the Rate Cap Collateral, but excluding Excess Cash Flow).

Section 12.4 Environmental Indemnification.
(A) Borrower shall protect, indemnify, save, defend, and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Liabilities 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 Borrower.

 

-130-


 

(B) Notwithstanding Section 12.4(A) above, or any other provision of this Agreement, Borrower shall not be liable for any Hazardous Materials first placed on or under the Property (or any portion thereof) after ownership and control of the Property has been transferred to a third party following foreclosure or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure (“Transfer of Ownership”); provided, however, that (i) the existence of any Hazardous Materials placed in, under, over, from or affecting the Property (or such portion thereof), which materials were present prior to Transfer of Ownership, shall remain subject to Borrower’s indemnification obligations; and (ii) Borrower shall have the burden of proving that such environmental condition occurred subsequent to Transfer of Ownership.
(C) If any such action or other proceeding shall be brought against Administrative Agent, upon written notice from Borrower to Administrative Agent (given reasonably promptly following Administrative Agent’s notice to Borrower of such action or proceeding), Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, at Borrower’s expense, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent; provided, however, Administrative Agent may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such defense, but such participation shall not be deemed to give Administrative Agent a right to control such defense, which right Borrower expressly retains. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at Borrower’s expense if, in the reasonable opinion of legal counsel, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and Borrower that would make such separate representation advisable. 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, the indemnification provided in Section 12.4 shall be fully recourse to Borrower (but not its constituent members, except as provided in the Environmental Indemnity) and shall be independent of, and shall survive, the discharge of the Indebtedness, the release of the Lien created by the Security Instrument, and/or the conveyance of title to the Property to Administrative Agent or any purchaser or designee in connection with a foreclosure of the Security Instrument or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure.

Section 14.7 Indemnification; Reimbursement of Protective Advances.
14.7.1 Indemnification. Lenders agree to indemnify Administrative Agent and the other Agents in their respective capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), ratably according to the respective amounts of their Percentage Shares, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including without limitation at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent or the other Agents in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by Administrative Agent or the other Agents under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Administrative Agent’s or any other Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, respectively.

14.7.2 Reimbursement of Protective Advances. If Administrative Agent incurs any reasonable costs or expenses (including, without limitation, those for legal services) after the date of this Agreement and with respect to any actual or proposed Modification or waiver of any term of the Loan Documents or restructuring or refinancing thereof or with any effort to enforce or protect Lenders’ rights or interests with respect thereto (including any protective advances made in accordance with Section 8 of the Security Instrument), or otherwise with respect to the performance of its role as administrative agent under this Agreement, each in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then, if such costs are not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower, Lenders shall reimburse Administrative Agent for their Percentage Share of such costs promptly after request therefor. If Administrative Agent recovers any amounts for which Administrative Agent has previously been reimbursed by Lenders hereunder, Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to Lenders their Percentage Share thereof.

In the event a Lender fails to reimburse Administrative Agent for its Percentage Share of costs pursuant to this Section 14.7 and such failure continues for a period of three (3) Business Days after notice from Administrative Agent, such Lender shall cease to be entitled to any voting, consent or approval rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document, until such time such Lender reimburses Administrative Agent for its Percentage Share of such costs.
Section 14.8 Agents in Their Individual Capacity. Administrative Agent, the other Agents and their affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any of the Transaction Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though Administrative Agent and the other Agents were not, respectively, Administrative Agent, or an Agent hereunder. With respect to such loans made or renewed by them and any Note issued to them, Administrative Agent and the other Agents shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent or an Agent, respectively, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include Administrative Agent and each other Agent in its individual capacity.
Section 14.9 Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Lenders and Borrower. If Administrative Agent shall resign, then Lenders shall appoint a successor agent or, if Lenders are unable to agree on the appointment of a successor agent, Administrative Agent shall appoint a successor agent for Lenders whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or successors thereto; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent shall be subject to the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of the Loan Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.

Unless a Lender shall give written notice to Administrative Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation or determination of Administrative Agent (together with a reasonable written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the express terms of the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination.

With the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, any Lender may at any time assign, delegate and pledge to one or more Eligible Assignees (provided that no written consent of Administrative Agent shall be required in connection with any assignment, delegation and pledge by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or to another Lender or its Affiliate) (each such assignee, an “Assignee”, and each such pledgee, a “Pledgee”) all or any part of such Lender’s Percentage Share of the Loan, the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments and the other Obligations held by such Lender hereunder, in a minimum amount of $3,000,000, which minimum amount may be an aggregated amount in the event of simultaneous assignments to or by two or more funds under common management (or if such Lender’s Percentage Share of the Loan is less than $3,000,000, one hundred percent (100%) thereof); provided, however, that the Transaction Parties, Borrower and Administrative Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been given to Borrower and Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Assignee; (ii) such Lender and its Assignee shall have delivered to Borrower and Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (iii) the assignment shall have been recorded in the Register, and (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement via an electronic settlement system acceptable to Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with Administrative Agent, manually), and shall pay to Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.
Section 15.2 Register; Effect of Assignment and Acceptance. Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of Borrower, maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the principal amount of the Loan owing to each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and Borrower, each Lender and Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans for all purposes of this Agreement. From and after the date that

 

-136-


 

Administrative Agent notifies the assignor Lender and Borrower that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and payment of the above-referenced processing fee, and the assignment has been recorded in the Register: (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents (but shall be entitled to indemnification as otherwise provided in this Agreement with respect to any events occurring prior to the assignment) and (iii) this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Percentage Shares resulting therefrom.
Section 15.3 Substitute Notes. After its receipt of notice by Administrative Agent that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and payment of the processing fee (which notice shall also be sent by Administrative Agent to each Lender), Borrower shall, if requested in writing by the Assignee, execute and deliver within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such request to Administrative Agent, a new Note evidencing such Assignee’s Percentage Share of the Loan; provided that the obligation to deliver such Note shall be subject to receipt by Borrower of the existing Note which such new Note replaces (or, if not available, receipt of a lost note affidavit and indemnity from beneficiary of such existing Note in customary form reasonably satisfactory to Borrower).
Section 15.4 Participations. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, insurance companies or other Persons not Affiliates of Borrower (a “Participant”) participating interests in the Loan and the other interests of that Lender (the “Originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the Originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) Borrower and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Originating Lender in connection with the Originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which an Originating Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Originating Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document described in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) or (5) of Section 19.5. In the case of any such participation, the Participant shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections 2.2.5, 2.2.6, 2.2.8 and 2.2.9 (and subject to the burdens of Sections 2.2.7, 2.2.9(v) and this Article XV) as though it were also a Lender thereunder; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall

 

-137-


 

any such participation result in Borrower making payments in excess of those that would be owing to Originating Lender if no participation had taken place unless Borrower is notified of such participation and such participation is made with Borrower’s prior written consent, and (ii) if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, and Section 19.19 of this Agreement shall apply to such Participant as if it were a Lender party hereto.
Section 15.5 Security Interest in Favor of Federal Reserve Bank. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, any Lender may assign all or any portion of its Percentage Share of the Loan held by it to any Federal Reserve Lender or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Lender, provided that any payment in respect of such assigned Percentage Share of the Loan made by Borrower to or for the account of the assigning and/or pledging Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy Borrower’s obligations hereunder in respect to such assigned Percentage Share of the Loan to the extent of such payment. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.
Section 15.6 Redirection Notice. Upon Administrative Agent’s receipt of written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) by a Pledgee that the pledging Lender is in default, beyond applicable cure periods, under pledging Lender’s obligations to Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between pledging Lender and Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by pledging Lender), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by Pledgee, Administrative Agent shall remit to Pledgee and not to pledging Lender, any payments that Administrative Agent would otherwise be obligated to pay to pledging Lender from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or any Loan Document. Each pledging Lender hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases Administrative Agent from any liability to pledging Lender on account of Administrative Agent’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by Administrative Agent to have been delivered by Pledgee.
Section 15.7 Syndication. Subject to Section 15.1 above, DBTCA or its affiliates may syndicate, securitize, sell, assign and/or participate the Loan and the other Obligations held by Lenders hereunder, in whole or in part (any such transaction, a “Loan Sale”), before or after the Closing Date, without any consent from Borrower or any other Transaction Party, and DBTCA (or its affiliates) shall manage all aspects of such Loan Sale, including the number and identity of the potential Lenders participating in the Loan Sale and the Loan amounts and compensation offered in connection therewith. Borrower agrees to take all actions as DBTCA (or its affiliates) may reasonably request to assist in any such Loan Sale, including: (i) making its senior management and representatives available to participate in informational meetings with potential Lenders, investors and/or Rating Agencies at such times and places as DBTCA (or its affiliates) may reasonably request; (ii) using its reasonable efforts to ensure that the Loan Sale efforts benefit from Borrower’s lending relationships; and (iii) providing DBTCA (or its affiliates) with all information reasonably deemed necessary by DBTCA to successfully complete the Loan Sale.

Section 15.8 Pfandbrief Appraisal. In connection with any assignment, pledge or transfer of a Lender’s interest in the Loan to a Pfandbrief, such Lender, at its own expense, may order an Appraisal, and Administrative Agent will reasonably cooperate, at such Lender’s expense, in coordinating the same with Borrower to the extent necessary to obtain such Appraisal.
ARTICLE XVI
Reserve Accounts
Section 16.1 Tax Reserve Account. In accordance with the time periods set forth in Section 3.1, and during any period when the Manager is not reserving for Impositions and Other Charges, Borrower shall deposit into the Tax Reserve Account an amount equal to (a) one-twelfth of the annual Impositions that Administrative Agent reasonably estimates, based on the most recent tax bill for the Property, will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Administrative Agent sufficient funds to pay all such Impositions at least twenty (20) days prior to the imposition of any interest, charges or expenses for the non-payment thereof and (b) one-twelfth of the annual Other Charges that Administrative Agent reasonably estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months (said monthly amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Monthly Tax Reserve Amount”, and the aggregate amount of funds held in the Tax Reserve Account being the “Tax Reserve Amount”). If applicable, the Monthly Tax Reserve Amount shall be paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent on each Payment Date. Administrative Agent will apply the Monthly Tax Reserve Amount to payments of Impositions and Other Charges required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Article V and Article VII and under the Security Instrument, subject to Borrower’s right to contest Impositions in accordance with Section 7.3. In making any payment relating to the Tax Reserve Account, Administrative Agent may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office, without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of funds in the Tax Reserve Account shall exceed the amounts due for Impositions and Other Charges pursuant to Article V and Article VII, Administrative Agent shall credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax Reserve Account. If at any time Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the Tax Reserve Amount is not or will not be sufficient to pay Impositions and Other Charges by the dates set forth above, Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Administrative Agent by the amount that Administrative Agent reasonably estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the imposition of any interest, charges or expenses for the non-payment of the Impositions and Other Charges. Upon payment of the Impositions and Other Charges, Administrative Agent shall reassess the amount necessary to be deposited in the Tax Reserve Account for the succeeding period, which calculation shall take into account any excess amounts remaining in the Tax Reserve Account.

Section 16.2 Insurance Reserve Account. At any time when the insurance required to be maintained pursuant to this Agreement is provided under a blanket policy in accordance with Article VI hereof and the premiums in respect of such blanket policy are not paid or caused to be paid at least 3 months before such premiums become due and payable or at any time that Manager does not reserve for or otherwise set aside and pay, in no more than four (4) installments per year, premiums with respect to the Insurance Requirements or following an Insurance Reserve Trigger, Borrower will immediately pay to Administrative Agent for transfer by Administrative Agent to the Holding Account (or if Borrower fails to so pay Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent will transfer from the Holding Account) an amount (the “Insurance Reserve Amount”) equal to payments of insurance premiums required to be made by Borrower to pay (or to reimburse Borrower for) the insurance required pursuant to Article VI and under the Security Instrument. In addition, at any time when the insurance required to be maintained pursuant to this Agreement is provided under a blanket policy in accordance with Article VI hereof and the premiums in respect of such blanket policy are not paid or caused to be paid at least 3 months before such premiums become due and payable or at any time that Manager does not reserve for or otherwise set aside and pay, in no more than four (4) installments per year, premiums with respect to the Insurance Requirements, and otherwise following an Insurance Reserve Trigger, in accordance with the time periods set forth in Section 3.1, Borrower shall deposit into the Insurance Reserve Account an amount equal to one-twelfth of the insurance premiums that Administrative Agent reasonably estimates based on the most recent bill, will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the insurance policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Administrative Agent sufficient funds to pay all such insurance premiums at least twenty (20) days prior to the expiration of the policies required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof (said monthly amounts hereinafter called the “Monthly Insurance Reserve Amount”); provided, however, that immediately following an Insurance Reserve Trigger, Borrower will pay to Administrative Agent for transfer by Administrative Agent to the Insurance Reserve Account (or if Borrower fails to so pay Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent will transfer from the Holding Account) an amount equal to payments of insurance premiums required to be made by Borrower to pay (or to reimburse Borrower) for the insurance required pursuant to Article VI and under the Security Instrument. The Monthly Insurance Reserve Amount, if same is payable pursuant to this Section 16.2, shall be paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent on each Payment Date. Administrative Agent will apply the Monthly Insurance Reserve Amount to payments of insurance premiums required to be made by Borrower to pay for the insurance required pursuant to Article VI and under the Security Instrument. In making any payment relating to the Insurance Reserve Account, Administrative Agent may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the insurer or agent, without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity thereof. If at any time Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the Insurance Reserve Amount is not or will not be sufficient to pay insurance premiums (up to a maximum amount equal to the aggregate annual insurance premium required hereunder), Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase the Insurance Reserve Amount by the amount that Administrative Agent reasonably estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the applicable insurance policies. Upon payment of such insurance premiums, Administrative Agent shall reassess the amount necessary to be deposited in the Insurance Reserve Account for the succeeding period, which calculation shall take into account any excess amounts remaining in the Insurance Reserve Account.

From and after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall have the right to apply any amounts then remaining in the Cash Sweep Reserve Accounts to repay the Indebtedness or any other amounts due hereunder or under the other Loan Documents in such order, manner and amount as Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. Provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Administrative Agent shall instruct the Cash Management Bank to transfer to Borrower’s Account free and clear of all Liens, any amounts remaining in the Cash Sweep Reserve Account within ten (10) Business Days after Borrower provides Administrative Agent with evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent indicating that the Cash Sweep Period has ended.
Section 16.4 Required Repairs Reserve Account. (a) Borrower shall perform the repairs and other work at the Property as set forth on Schedule VI (such repairs and other work hereinafter referred to as “Required Repairs”) and shall complete each of the Required Repairs on or before the respective deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule VI. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with or on behalf of Administrative Agent the amount set forth on such Schedule VI as the estimated cost to complete the Required Repairs multiplied by 125% (the “Required Repairs Funds”), which Required Repairs Funds shall be transferred by the Cash Management Bank into the Required Repairs Reserve Account.
(b) Release of Required Repairs Funds.

(A) Unless waived in writing by Administrative Agent (with the consent of the Required Lenders or Lenders as otherwise provided in this Agreement), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (a)(vi) or (vii) above) Administrative Agent may (and at the request of the Required Lenders shall), from time to time without notice or demand, exercise, on behalf of Lenders, all rights and remedies available to it under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such action that Administrative Agent deems advisable to protect and enforce its and Lenders rights against Borrower, the other Transaction Parties and the Property, including, without limitation, (i) declaring immediately due and payable the entire Principal Amount together with interest thereon and all other sums due by Borrower and the other Transaction Parties under the Loan Documents, (ii) collecting interest on the Principal Amount at the Default Rate whether or not the Loan has been accelerated, and (iii) enforcing or availing itself of any or all rights or remedies set forth in the Loan Documents against Borrower, the other Transaction Parties and the Property, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in subsections (a)(vi) or (a)(vii) above, the Indebtedness and all other obligations of Borrower and the other Transaction Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding. The foregoing provisions shall not be construed as a waiver by Administrative Agent of its right to pursue any other remedies available to it under this Agreement, the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document. Any payment hereunder may be enforced and recovered in whole or in part at such time by one or more of the remedies provided to Administrative Agent in the Loan Documents.

 

-146-


 

(B) Unless waived in writing by Administrative Agent, 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 Administrative Agent and Lenders against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Administrative Agent and Lenders 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 Administrative Agent shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Property. Any enforcement or remedial actions taken by Administrative Agent shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Administrative Agent permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent shall remain in full force and effect until Administrative Agent has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Security Instrument has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Indebtedness or the Indebtedness has been paid in full.

-147-


 

(D) With respect to Borrower, the Account Collateral, the Rate Cap Collateral and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Administrative Agent to resort to the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Indebtedness, and Administrative Agent may seek satisfaction out of the Property or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Indebtedness. In addition, Administrative Agent shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Security Instrument in any manner and for any amounts secured by this Agreement or the Security Instrument then due and payable as determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion including, without limitation, 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 or interest, Administrative Agent may foreclose this Agreement and the Security Instrument to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Administrative Agent elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Administrative Agent may foreclose this Agreement and the Security Instrument to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Administrative Agent may accelerate and such other sums secured by this Agreement or the Security Instrument as Administrative Agent may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to this Agreement and the Security Instrument to secure payment of sums secured by this Agreement and the Security Instrument and not previously recovered.
Section 17.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Administrative Agent may have against Borrower or any other Person pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Administrative Agent may determine in Administrative Agent’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, Guarantor or any Transaction Party shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower, Guarantor or any Transaction Party 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 Notes or any of the other Loan Documents are placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or are collected or enforced through any legal proceeding; (ii) an attorney is retained to represent Administrative Agent and/or Lenders in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other proceedings affecting creditors’ rights and involving a claim under the Notes or any of the Loan Documents; or (iii) an attorney is retained to protect or enforce the lien or any of the terms of this Agreement, the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents; then Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent upon demand 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 Administrative Agent at the Default Rate.

-160-


 

the Property or any part thereof, (6) any negligence or tortious act or omission on the part of Borrower or any of their respective agents, contractors, servants, employees, sublessees, licensees or invitees, (7) any contest referred to in Section 7.3 hereof, or (8) any obligation or undertaking relating to the performance or discharge of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of the landlord contained in the Leases. Any amounts the Indemnified Parties are legally entitled to receive under this Section which are not paid within fifteen (15) Business Days after written demand therefor by the Indemnified Parties or Administrative Agent, 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 the Security Instrument. In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against the Indemnified Parties by reason of any such occurrence, Borrower shall, at Borrower’s expense resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or will cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel at Borrower’s reasonable expense for the insurer of the liability or by counsel designated by Borrower (unless reasonably disapproved by Administrative Agent promptly after Administrative Agent has been notified of such counsel); provided, however, that nothing herein shall compromise the right of Administrative Agent (or any Indemnified Party) to appoint its own counsel at Borrower’s expense for its defense with respect to any action which in its reasonable opinion presents a conflict or potential conflict between Administrative Agent (or any Indemnified Party) and Borrower that would make such separate representation advisable; provided further that if Administrative Agent (or any Indemnified Party) shall have appointed separate counsel pursuant to the foregoing, Borrower shall not be responsible for the expense of additional separate counsel of any Indemnified Party unless in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent (or such Indemnified Party) a conflict or potential conflict exists between such Indemnified Party and Administrative Agent (in which case the obligation of Borrower for such separate counsel shall be limited to one counsel representing all Lenders affected by such conflict or potential conflict). So long as Borrower is resisting and defending such action, suit or proceeding as provided above in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner, Administrative Agent and the Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to settle such action, suit or proceeding without Borrower’s consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and claim the benefit of this Section with respect to such action, suit or proceeding and Administrative Agent agrees that it will not settle any such action, suit or proceeding without the consent of Borrower; provided, however, that if Borrower is not diligently defending such action, suit or proceeding in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner as provided above, and Administrative Agent (or applicable Indemnified Party) has provided Borrower with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, or shorter period if mandated by the requirements of applicable law, and opportunity to correct such determination, Administrative Agent (or applicable Indemnified Party) may settle such action, suit or proceeding and claim the benefit of this Section 19.14 with respect to settlement of such action, suit or proceeding. Any Indemnified Party will give Borrower prompt notice after such Indemnified Party obtains actual knowledge of any potential claim by such Indemnified Party for indemnification hereunder. The Indemnified Parties shall not settle or compromise any action, proceeding or claim as to which it is indemnified hereunder without notice to Borrower. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an indemnity for Environmental Claims or other environmental matters shall be governed solely by Section 12.4 hereof and the Environmental Indemnity and not by this Section 19.14.

(C) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Transaction Party shall assert, and Borrower hereby waives, any claim against Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Agent, and their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon and shall cause each Transaction Party to waive, release and agree not to sue upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Section 19.16 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of a Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim (other than a counterclaim which can only be asserted in the suit, action or proceeding brought by such assignee on this Agreement, the Notes, the Security Instrument or any Loan Document and cannot be maintained in a separate action) 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 19.17 Liability of Assignees of Lenders. No assignee of a Lender shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any amendment or amendments hereto made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, any different than the liability of Lenders hereunder. In addition, no assignee shall have at any time or times hereafter any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with or secured by any agreement, lease, instrument, encumbrance, claim or right affecting or relating to the Property or to which the Property is now or hereafter subject any different than the liability of Lenders hereunder. The limitation of liability provided in this Section 19.17 is (i) in addition to, and not in limitation of, any limitation of liability applicable to the assignee provided by law or by any other contract, agreement or instrument, and (ii) shall not apply to any assignee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 19.18 Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall receive and retain any payment, whether by setoff, application of deposit balance or security, or otherwise, in respect of the Obligations in excess of such Lender’s Percentage Share thereof, then such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders for cash and at face value and without recourse, such participation in the Obligations held by them as shall be necessary to cause such excess payment to be shared ratably as aforesaid with each of them; provided, that if such excess payment or part thereof is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the related purchases from the other Lenders shall be rescinded ratably and the purchase price restored as to the portion of such excess payment so recovered, but without interest. Each Lender is hereby authorized by Borrower to exercise any and all rights of setoff, counterclaim or bankers’ lien against the full amount of the Obligations, whether or not held by such Lender. Each Lender hereby agrees to exercise any such rights first against the Obligations and only then to any other Indebtedness of Borrower to such Lender.
Section 19.19 Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lenders provided by law, if an Event of Default exists, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being waived by Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply in favor of Lenders any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing to, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all Obligations owing to Lenders, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to (i) notify Borrower and Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application and (ii) pay such amounts that are set-off to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders.
Section 19.20 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(A) Borrower and Administrative Agent intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lenders. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lenders or Administrative Agent nor to grant Administrative Agent any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee or beneficiary on behalf of Lenders.
(B) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Administrative Agent, Lenders 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 Lenders to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lenders and no other Person (other than Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders) shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lenders will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person (other than Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders) 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 Administrative Agent if, in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, Administrative Agent deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose any such confidential information, without notice to Borrower or any other Transaction Party, to Governmental Authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of Administrative Agent or such Lender or in accordance with the regulatory compliance policy of Administrative Agent or such Lender.
Section 19.22 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 shareholders and others with interests in Borrower and of the Property, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Indebtedness without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Administrative Agent to the payment of the Indebtedness out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

Borrower hereby expressly and unconditionally waives, in connection with any suit, action or proceeding brought by Administrative Agent on this Agreement, the Notes, the Security Instrument or any Loan Document, 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 Administrative Agent on this Agreement, the Notes, the Security Instrument or any Loan Document 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 19.24 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and 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 which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Administrative Agent or Lenders or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Administrative Agent or Lenders. Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Administrative Agent or any 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 Administrative Agent’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lenders engage in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section 19.25 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and unless specifically set forth in a writing contemporaneous herewith the terms, conditions and provisions of any and all such prior agreements do not survive execution of this Agreement.

Section 19.26 Reinstatement. This Agreement and the security interests created herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations hereunder, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to bankruptcy, insolvency or other applicable laws, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by Administrative Agent or any Lender. In the event that any payment or any part thereof is so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, such Obligations and the security interests created herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated (except to the extent the related collateral has been sold to a bona fide purchaser for value) and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
Section 19.27 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one document.
Section 19.28 Nature of Borrower Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, it is understood and agreed by the various parties to this Agreement that:
(a) all Obligations to repay principal of, interest on, and all other amounts with respect to, the Loan and all other Obligations pursuant to this Agreement and each other Loan Document (including, without limitation, all fees, indemnities, Taxes and other Obligations in connection therewith) shall constitute the joint and several obligations of each Borrower;
(b) The obligations of each Borrower with respect to its respective Obligations are independent of the obligations of each other Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Borrower, whether or not any other Borrower or any Guarantor is joined in any such action or actions. Each Borrower waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by any Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to any Borrower shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each Borrower. (c) Each Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent and Lenders without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:
(i) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any other Borrower or any other Transaction Party or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;
(ii) release or substitute any other Borrower, endorsers, Guarantors or other obligors;

 

-166-


 

(iii) settle or compromise any of the Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Borrower to its creditors other than Lenders;
(iv) apply any sums paid by any other Borrower or any other Transaction Party, howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of such other Borrower or other Person regardless of what liability or liabilities of such other Borrower or other Transaction Party remain unpaid; and/or
(v) consent to or waive any breach of, or act, omission or default under, this Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein, or otherwise, by any other Borrower or any other Transaction Party.
(d) It is not necessary for Administrative Agent or any Lender to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Borrower or any of its Affiliates or the officers, directors, members, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall constitute the joint and several obligations of the respective Borrower hereunder.
(e) No Borrower shall have any rights of contribution or subrogation with respect to any other Borrower as a result of payments made by it hereunder, in each case unless and until all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash.
(f) Each Borrower waives any right to require Administrative Agent or Lenders to (i) proceed against any other Borrower or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Borrower or any other Person or (iii) pursue any other remedy in Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ power whatsoever. Each Borrower waives any defense based on or arising out of suretyship or any impairment of security held from any Borrower or any other party or on or arising out of any defense of any other Borrower or any other party other than payment in full in cash of the its Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of any other Borrower or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any other Borrower, in each case other than as a result of the payment in full in cash of the Obligations.
(g) Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, each Borrower’s joint and several liability for the Obligations shall be limited to the greater of (i) the amount for which it is Primarily Liable and (ii) such Borrower’s Allocable Amount (as defined in Section 13.17(h)). “Primarily Liable” for any Borrower, means liability in amount equal to the proceeds of the Loans which were made available to such Borrower. The “Allocable Amount” for any Borrower at any time shall be the maximum amount that could be recovered from such Borrower at such time under the Loan Documents without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance act, or similar statute or common law.

 

-167-


 

(h) If any Borrower makes a payment of any Obligations greater than that for which it is Primarily Liable, it shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by, each other Borrower in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the payment in excess of the amount for which it is Primarily Liable and (ii) the Allocable Amount which after giving effect to any Obligations of each other Borrower would not result in such contribution claim being a fraudulent transfer.
(i) If any Borrower makes a payment of any Obligations (other than amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such Borrower’s Allocable Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all Borrowers, then such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. The “Allocable Amount” for any Borrower shall be the maximum amount that could then be recovered from such Borrower without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance act, or similar statute or common law.
(j) Nothing contained in this Section 19.28 shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay the Loan and all accrued interest, fees, expenses and other related Obligations with respect thereto, for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder.
(k) Each Borrower has requested that Administrative Agent and Lenders make this credit facility available to Borrower on a combined basis, in order to finance Borrower’s business most efficiently and economically. Borrower’s business is a mutual and collective enterprise, and Borrower believes that consolidation of their credit facility will enhance the borrowing power of each Borrower and ease the administration of their relationship with Administrative Agent and Lenders, all to the mutual advantage of Borrower. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s willingness to extend credit to Borrower and to administer the Collateral on a combined basis, as set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to Borrower at its request.
(l) Each Borrower (including, without limitation, Operating Lessee in connection with the Leaseco Intercompany Loan) hereby subordinates any claims, including any rights at law or in equity to payment, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off, that it may have at any time against any other Borrower, howsoever arising, to full and final payment in full, in cash, of all Obligations.
(m) Each Borrower hereby restates and makes the waivers made by Guarantor in the Recourse Guaranty. Such waivers are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein (and as if applicable to each Borrower) and shall be effective for all purposes under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, in the event that any Borrower is deemed to be a surety or guarantor of the Obligations (by virtue of Borrower being co-obligors and jointly and severally liable hereunder, by virtue of each Borrower encumbering its interest in the Collateral for the benefit or debts of the other Borrower in connection herewith or otherwise)).

SUBORDINATION,
NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT made as of this  _____  day of                     , 20_____, between DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, as Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, a New York banking corporation, having an address at 31 West 52nd Street, New York, New York 10019 (together with its successor and/or assigns, hereinafter called “Administrative Agent”), and                     , a                     , having an address at                      (hereinafter called “Tenant”).
W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, by a lease (the “Original Lease”) dated                     , 20_____  between                      (hereinafter called “Landlord”), as landlord, and Tenant, as tenant, as amended by lease amendment[s] dated                     , 20_____, [                    , 20_____ and                     , 20_____] (the Original Lease, as so amended, is hereinafter the “Lease”), a memorandum of which Lease was dated                      and was recorded in                      in Reel                     , Page                     , [add recording data for memoranda of amendments, if applicable], Landlord leased to Tenant certain premises located in                     (the “Premises”) on the property described in Schedule “A” annexed hereto and made a part hereof (the “Property”); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of August [_____], 2011, (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), by and among Henry Hudson Holdings LLC, 58th Street Bar Company LLC, Hudson Leaseco LLC, the lenders party thereto from time to time (collectively, “Lenders”) and Administrative Agent, Lenders have made a loan to Landlord, which loan is secured by, among other things, a mortgage (which mortgage, and all amendments, renewals, increases, modifications, replacements, substitutions, extensions, spreaders and consolidations thereof and all re-advances thereunder and addictions thereto, is referred to as the “Security Instrument”) encumbering the Property; and
WHEREAS, Administrative Agent and Tenant desire to confirm their understanding and agreement with respect to the Lease and the Security Instrument.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, Administrative Agent and Tenant hereby agree and covenant as follows:
1. The Lease, and all of the terms, covenants, provisions and conditions thereof (including, without limitation, any right of first refusal, right of first offer, option or any similar right with respect to the sale or purchase of the Property, or any portion thereof) is, shall be and shall at all times remain and continue to be subject and subordinate in all respects to the lien, terms, covenants, provisions and conditions of the Security Instrument and to all advances and re-advances made thereunder and all sums secured thereby. This provision shall be self-operative but Tenant shall execute and deliver any additional instruments which Administrative Agent or Lenders may reasonably require to effect such subordination.

 

 


 

Exhibit K
Page 3
2. So long as (i) Tenant is not in default (beyond any period given in the Lease to Tenant to cure such default) in the payment of rent, percentage rent or additional rent or in the performance or observance of any of the other terms, covenants, provisions or conditions of the Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed or observed, (ii) Tenant is not in default under this Agreement and (iii) the Lease is in full force and effect: (a) Tenant’s possession of the Premises and Tenant’s rights and privileges under the Lease, or any extensions or renewals thereof which may be effected in accordance with any option therefor which is contained in the Lease, shall not be diminished or interfered with by Administrative Agent or Lenders, and Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises shall not be disturbed by Administrative Agent or Lenders for any reason whatsoever during the term of the Lease or any such extensions or renewals thereof and (b) neither Administrative Agent nor Lenders will join Tenant as a party defendant in any action or proceeding to foreclose the Security Instrument or to enforce any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or Lenders under the Security Instrument which would cut-off, destroy, terminate or extinguish the Lease or Tenant’s interest and estate under the Lease (except to the extent required so that Tenant’s right to receive or set-off any monies or obligations owed or to be performed by any of Lenders’ predecessors-in-interest shall not be enforceable thereafter against Administrative Agent, Lenders or any of Lenders’ successors-in-interest). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, if it would be procedurally disadvantageous for Administrative Agent or Lenders not to name or join Tenant as a party in a foreclosure proceeding with respect to the Security Instrument, Administrative Agent or Lenders may so name or join Tenant without in any way diminishing or otherwise affecting the rights and privileges granted to, or inuring to the benefit of, Tenant under this Agreement.
3. (A) After notice is given by Administrative Agent that the Security Instrument is in default and that the rentals under the Lease should be paid to Lenders, Tenant will attorn to Lenders and pay to Lenders, or pay in accordance with the directions of Administrative Agent, all rentals and other monies due and to become due to Landlord under the Lease or otherwise in respect of the Premises. Such payments shall be made regardless of any right of set-off, counterclaim or other defense which Tenant may have against Landlord, whether as the tenant under the Lease or otherwise.
(B) In addition, if Administrative Agent (or its nominee or designee) shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under the Lease through possession or foreclosure action, delivery of a deed or otherwise, or another person purchases the Property or the portion thereof containing the Premises upon or following foreclosure of the Security Instrument or in connection with any bankruptcy case commenced by or against Landlord, then at the request of Administrative Agent (or its nominee or designee) or such purchaser (Administrative Agent, its nominees and designees, and such purchaser, and their respective successors and assigns, each being a “Successor-Landlord”), Tenant shall attorn to and recognize Successor-Landlord as Tenant’s landlord under the Lease and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that Successor-Landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment. Upon such attornment, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as, or as if it were, a direct lease between Successor-Landlord and Tenant upon all terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in the Lease. If the Lease shall have terminated by operation of law or otherwise as a result of or in connection with a bankruptcy case commenced by or against Landlord or a foreclosure action or proceeding or delivery of a deed in lieu, upon request of Successor-Landlord, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver a direct lease with Successor-Landlord which direct lease shall be on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Lease (subject, however, to the provisions of clauses (i)-(v) of this paragraph 3(B)) and shall be effective as of the day the Lease shall have terminated as aforesaid. Notwithstanding the continuation of the Lease, the attornment of Tenant thereunder or the execution of a direct lease between Successor-Landlord and Tenant as aforesaid, Successor-Landlord shall not:

 

 


 

Exhibit K
Page 4
(i) be liable for any previous act or omission of Landlord under the Lease;
(ii) be subject to any off-set, defense or counterclaim which shall have theretofore accrued to Tenant against Landlord;
(iii) be bound by any modification of the Lease or by any previous prepayment of rent or additional rent made more than one (1) month prior to the date same was due which Tenant might have paid to Landlord, unless such modification or prepayment shall have been expressly approved in writing by Lender or was permitted under the terms of the Loan Agreement with the consent of Lender;
(iv) be liable for any security deposited under the Lease unless such security has been physically delivered to Administrative Agent or Successor-Landlord; and
(v) be liable or obligated to comply with or fulfill any of the obligations of the Landlord under the Lease or any agreement relating thereto with respect to the construction of, or payment for, improvements on or above the Premises (or any portion thereof), leasehold improvements, tenant work letters and/or similar items.
4. Tenant agrees that without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, it shall not (a) amend, modify, terminate or cancel the Lease or any extensions or renewals thereof except to the extent permitted under the Loan Agreement without the consent of Lender, (b) tender a surrender of the Lease, (c) make a prepayment of any rent or additional rent more than one (1) month in advance of the due date thereof, or (d) subordinate or permit the subordination of the Lease to any lien subordinate to the Security Instrument. Any such purported action without such consent shall be void as against the holder of the Security Instrument.
5. (A) Tenant shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of any default by Landlord under the Lease and of any act or omission of Landlord which would give Tenant the right to cancel or terminate the Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction.
(B) In the event of a default by Landlord under the Lease which would give Tenant the right, immediately or after the lapse of a period of time, to cancel or terminate the Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction, or in the event of any other act or omission of Landlord which would give Tenant the right to cancel or terminate the Lease, Tenant shall not exercise such right (i) until Tenant has given written notice of such default, act or omission to Administrative Agent and (ii) unless Administrative Agent has failed, within sixty (60) days after Administrative Agent receives such notice, to cure or remedy the default, act or omission or, if such default, act or omission shall be one which is not reasonably capable of being remedied by Administrative Agent within such sixty (60) day period, until a reasonable period for remedying such default, act or omission shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice and following the time when Administrative Agent shall have become entitled under the Security Instrument to remedy the same (which reasonable period shall in no event be less than the period to which Landlord would be entitled under the Lease or otherwise, after similar notice, to effect such remedy), provided that Administrative Agent shall with due diligence give Tenant written notice of its intention to and shall commence and continue to, remedy such default, act or omission. If Administrative Agent cannot reasonably remedy a default, act or omission of Landlord until after Administrative Agent obtains possession of the Premises, Tenant may not terminate or cancel the Lease or claim a partial or total eviction by reason of such default, act or omission until the expiration of a reasonable period necessary for the remedy after Administrative Agent secures possession of the Premises. To the extent Administrative Agent incurs any expenses or other costs in curing or remedying such default, act or omission, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements, Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to Tenant’s rights against Landlord.

 

 


 

Exhibit K
Page 5
(C) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall have no obligation hereunder to remedy such default, act or omission.
6. To the extent that the Lease shall entitle Tenant to notice of the existence of any mortgage and the identity of any mortgagee or any ground lessor, this Agreement shall constitute such notice to Tenant with respect to the Security Instrument and Administrative Agent.
7. Upon and after the occurrence of a default under the Security Instrument, which is not cured after any applicable notice and/or cure periods, Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, shall be entitled, but not obligated, to exercise the claims, rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Landlord under the Lease and shall be further entitled to the benefits of, and to receive and enforce performance of, all of the covenants to be performed by Tenant under the Lease as though Administrative Agent were named therein as Landlord.
8. Anything herein or in the Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Successor-Landlord shall acquire title to the Property or the portion thereof containing the Premises, Successor-Landlord shall have no obligation, nor incur any liability, beyond Successor-Landlord’s then interest, if any, in the Property, and Tenant shall look exclusively to such interest, if any, of Successor-Landlord in the Property for the payment and discharge of any obligations imposed upon Successor-Landlord hereunder or under the Lease, and Successor-Landlord is hereby released or relieved of any other liability hereunder and under the Lease. Tenant agrees that, with respect to any money judgment which may be obtained or secured by Tenant against Successor-Landlord, Tenant shall look solely to the estate or interest owned by Successor-Landlord in the Property, and Tenant will not collect or attempt to collect any such judgement out of any other assets of Successor-Landlord.
9. Intentionally omitted.
10. If the Lease provides that Tenant is entitled to expansion space, Successor-Landlord shall have no obligation nor any liability for failure to provide such expansion space if a prior landlord (including, without limitation, Landlord), by reason of a lease or leases entered into by such prior landlord with other tenants of the Property, has precluded the availability of such expansion space.

 

 


 

Exhibit K
Page 6
11. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, neither Administrative Agent nor Lenders shall, by virtue of this Agreement, the Security Instrument or any other instrument to which Administrative Agent or Lenders may be a party, be or become subject to any liability or obligation to Tenant under the Lease or otherwise.
12. (A) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement satisfies and complies in all respects with the provisions of Article  _____  of the Lease and that this Agreement supersedes (but only to the extent inconsistent with) the provisions of such Article and any other provision of the Lease relating to the priority or subordination of the Lease and the interests or estates created thereby to the Security Instrument.
(B) Tenant agrees to enter into a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in a form substantially similar to this Agreement with any person which shall succeed Administrative Agent with respect to it interests in the Property, or any portion thereof, provided such agreement is substantially similar to this Agreement. Tenant does herewith irrevocably appoint and constitute Administrative Agent as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact in its name, place and stead to execute such subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement, without any obligation on the part of Administrative Agent to do so. This power, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable as long as the Indebtedness secured by the Security Instrument remains unpaid. Administrative Agent agrees not to exercise its rights under the preceding two sentences if Tenant promptly enters into the subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement as required pursuant to the first sentence of this subparagraph (B).
13. (A) Any notice required or permitted to be given by Tenant to Landlord shall be simultaneously given also to Administrative Agent, and any right to Tenant dependent upon notice shall take effect only after notice is so given. Performance by Administrative Agent shall satisfy any conditions of the Lease requiring performance by Landlord, and Administrative Agent shall have a reasonable time to complete such performance as provided in Paragraph 5 hereof.
(B) All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given to Tenant or to Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given only if mailed by United States registered mail, postage prepaid, or if sent by nationally recognized overnight delivery service (such as Federal Express or United States Postal Service Express Mail), addressed as follows: to Tenant, at the address first set forth above, Attention:                     ; to Administrative Agent, at the address first set forth above, Attention:                      and General Counsel or to such other address or number as such party may hereafter designate by notice delivered in accordance herewith. All such notices shall be deemed given three (3) business days after delivery to the United States Post office registry clerk if given by registered mail, or on the next business day after delivery to an overnight delivery courier.

14. This Agreement may be modified only by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto, or their respective successors-in-interest.

The term “Administrative Agent” shall mean the then holder of the Security Instrument. The term “Landlord” shall mean the then holder of the landlord’s interest in the Lease. The term “person” shall mean an individual, joint venture, corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company, unincorporated association or other entity.

Any inconsistency between the Lease and the provisions of this Agreement shall be resolved, to the extent of such inconsistency, in favor of this Agreement.
15. Intentionally omitted.
16. Intentionally omitted.
17. BOTH TENANT AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

NO ORAL CHANGE
This Note may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or Lender, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party(ies) against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought.

If Borrower is a partnership or limited liability company, the agreements herein contained shall remain in force and be applicable, notwithstanding any changes in the individuals or entities comprising the partnership or limited liability company, and the term “Borrower,” as used herein, shall include any alternate or successor partnership or limited liability company, but any predecessor partnership or limited liability company and its partners or members shall not thereby be released from any liability.

(ii) all licenses of Intellectual Property and covenants not to sue with respect to Intellectual Property (including, without limitation those licenses set forth on Schedule IV), which relate to, are derived from, or are used in connection with the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment, or maintenance thereof or the conduct of any business or activities thereon, regardless of whether such agreements and covenants are contained within an agreement that also covers other matters, such as development, consulting services or distribution of products, and regardless of whether Assignors is a licensor or licensee, under any such agreement, together with any and all (i) amendments, renewals, extensions, supplements and continuations thereof, (ii) income, fees, royalties, damages, claims and payments now and hereafter due and/or payable thereunder and with respect thereto including damages and payments for past, present or future breaches or violations thereof, and (iii) the right to sue for past, present and future breaches or violations thereof (IP Licenses).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 1, Assignors do not grant, sell, transfer, set over, assign or convey a security interest in or pledge to Assignee any of the items set forth on Schedule V attached hereto [Schedule V will include all Hudson/Morgans marks/domain names owned by Morgans Group LLC].
2. Release of IP Collateral.
Assignee shall, at the reasonable expense of Assignors, upon payment in full of the Principal Amount and interest on the Loan and all other amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note and the Loan Agreement, release the Lien of this Agreement upon the IP Collateral or assign it, in whole or in part, to a new lender. In such event, Assignors shall submit to Assignee, on a date prior to the date of such release or assignment sufficient to provide a reasonable period for review thereof, a release of lien or assignment of lien, as applicable, for such property for execution by Assignee. Such release or assignment, as applicable, shall be in a form appropriate in each jurisdiction in which the IP Collateral is located and satisfactory to Assignee in its reasonable discretion. In addition, Assignors shall provide all other documentation Assignee reasonably requires to be delivered by Assignors in connection with such release or assignment, as applicable.
3. Remedies.
(A) The grant of security set forth herein is issued in conjunction and concurrently with the grant of security interest set forth in the Mortgage.

Exhibit P
Page 4
(B) For the purpose of enabling the Assignee to exercise rights and remedies hereunder at such time as Assignee hereby shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, Assignors hereby grant Assignee an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (with right to sublicense) and, to the extent permitted under IP Licenses granting Assignors rights in Intellectual Property, right to further sublicense (in each case, exercisable without payment of royalties or other compensation to Assignors) to make, have made, use, sell, copy, distribute, perform, make derivative works, publish, and exploit in any other manner for which an authorization from the owner of such Intellectual Property would be required under applicable law, with right to sublicense, any of the IP Collateral, wherever the same may be located; provided that: (i) such license shall be subject to the exclusive rights of any licensee of the IP Collateral under a license granted prior to such Event of Default, to the extent such license is a Permitted Encumbrance, (ii) Assignors shall have such rights of quality control and inspection which are reasonably necessary under applicable law to maintain the validity and enforceability of any Trademarks included in the IP Collateral and (iii) any sublicenses duly granted by Assignee under this license grant shall survive in accordance with their terms, as direct licenses of Assignors but any revenue thereunder payable to Assignee, notwithstanding the subsequent cure of any Event of Default that gave rise to the exercise of the Assignee’s rights and remedies.
4. After-Acquired IP Collateral.
Assignors shall provide to Assignee written notice of any Intellectual Property acquired by Assignors after the date hereof, which is the subject of a registration or application (including IP Collateral which was theretofore unregistered and becomes the subject of a registration or application) or of any material or exclusive IP Licenses, and deliver to Assignee an IP Security Agreement and/or such other instrument in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Assignee. Assignors shall provide such notice to Assignee no later than the end of the calendar quarter in which Assignors’ acquisition of such Intellectual Property or IP License occurred. Assignors shall execute and deliver to Assignee all filings necessary to protect and evidence Assignee’s security interest in such IP Collateral. Further, Assignors authorize Assignee to modify the Loan Agreement by amending the IP Schedule to include any additional IP Collateral (but the failure to do so modify such IP Schedule shall not be deemed to affect Assignee’s security interest in or Lien upon such IP Collateral).
5. Governing Law.
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

6. Conflict Resolution.
The security interests granted to Assignee herein are granted in furtherance and addition to, and not in limitation of, the security interests granted to Assignee pursuant to the Mortgage. In the event of an irrevocable conflict between the terms of this Agreement, the Mortgage, or the Loan Agreement, the following priority of Agreements shall prevail: first, the Loan Agreement; second, Mortgage; and third, this Agreement.
7. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
8. Further Assurances.
Assignors hereby authorizes Assignee to file, from time to time, at Assignors’ sole cost and expense, such UCC financing statements, naming the Assignors as debtor(s) and the Assignee as secured party in all applicable recording offices of each applicable jurisdiction (including the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware) as Assignee deems required to perfect and maintain the first priority security interest of Assignee in the IP Collateral. In addition, Assignors shall, at Assignors’ sole cost and expense, execute, acknowledge, record, register, file and/or deliver to Assignee such other instruments, agreements, certificates and documents as Assignee may from time to time reasonably request to better assure transfer and confirm into Assignee the rights now or hereafter intended to be granted to Assignee under this Agreement or other Loan Documents, and shall fully cooperate with Assignee and perform all additional acts which are necessary to effect the purposes of the foregoing.
