Period during which the Maturity Date occurs (even if such period

(360) by (c) the outstanding principal balance.
2.2.3 Eurodollar Rate
Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs.
(a)
(i) In the event that Lender shall have determined (which
determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent
manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the
interbank eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not
exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then Lender shall forthwith give
notice by telephone of such determination, to Borrower at least one
(1) Business Day prior to the last day of the related Interest
Period, with a written confirmation of such determination promptly
thereafter. If such notice is given, the Loan shall bear interest
at the Adjusted Interest Rate beginning on the first day of the
next succeeding Interest Period. (ii) If, pursuant to the
terms of this Section 2.2.3(a), the Loan is bearing interest
at the Adjusted Interest Rate and Lender shall determine (which
determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent
manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted
in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Lender shall give
notice thereof to Borrower by telephone of such determination,
confirmed in writing, to Borrower as soon as reasonably practical,
but in no event later than one (1) Business Day prior to the
last day of the then current Interest Period. If such notice is
given, the Loan shall bear interest at the Eurodollar Rate
beginning on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in
no event shall Borrower have the right to elect to have the Loan
bear interest at either the Eurodollar Rate or the Adjusted
Interest Rate.
(b) If
any requirement of law or any change therein or in the
interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it
unlawful for Lender in good faith to make or maintain the portion
of the Loan bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, (I) the
obligation of Lender
36
hereunder to make the Loan bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate
shall be canceled forthwith and (II) the Loan shall
automatically bear interest at the Adjusted Interest Rate on the
next succeeding Payment Date or within such earlier period as
required by Applicable Law. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay
Lender (within ten (10) days of Lender’s written demand
therefor), any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender
for any reasonable costs incurred by Lender in making any
conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without
limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of
funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the Loan
hereunder. Upon written demand from Borrower, Lender shall
demonstrate in reasonable detail the circumstances giving rise to
Lender’s determination and the calculation substantiating the
Adjusted Interest Rate and any additional costs incurred by Lender
in making the conversion. Lender’s written notice of such
costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.
(c) In
the event that any change in any requirement of any Applicable Law
or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance in
good faith by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not
having the force of law) hereafter issued from any Governmental
Authority, in each such case, which is generally applicable to all
Lenders subject to such Governmental Authority’s
jurisdiction:
(i)
shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve,
special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against
assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the
account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or
any other acquisition of funds by, any U.S. office of Lender which
is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR
hereunder;
(ii)
shall, if the Loan is then bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate,
hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on
Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations
hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved
but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into
consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital
adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; or
(iii)
shall, if the Loan is then bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate,
hereafter impose on Lender any other condition, the result of which
is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or
maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount
receivable hereunder by any amount deemed by Lender to be
material;
then, in
any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender (within ten
(10) days of Lender’s written demand therefor), any
additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such
additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to
be material. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional
amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(c), Lender shall
provide Borrower with written notice specifying in reasonable
detail the event or circumstance by reason of which it has become
so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate
Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as
to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the
foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. This provision shall survive
payment of the Note and
37
the
satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under the Note,
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(d) Borrower
agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any
loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs to the extent it is
a consequence of (I) any default by Borrower in payment of the
principal of or interest on the Loan while bearing interest at the
Eurodollar Rate, including, without limitation, any such loss or
expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders
of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Eurodollar Rate,
(II) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the
Loan on a day that (A) is not the Payment Date immediately
following the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto
or (B) is the Payment Date immediately following the last day
of an Interest Period with respect thereto if Borrower did not give
the prior written notice of such prepayment required pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, such
loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to
lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Eurodollar
Rate hereunder and (III) the conversion (for any reason
whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Applicable
Interest Rate from the Eurodollar Rate to the Adjusted Interest
Rate with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal
amount of the Loan then bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate on
a date other than the Payment Date immediately following the last
day of an Interest Period, including, without limitation, such loss
or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to
lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Eurodollar
Rate hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (I),
(II) and (III) are herein referred to collectively as the
“Breakage Costs”). This provision shall survive payment
of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of
Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
2.2.4 Payment on Maturity
Date.
Borrower shall pay to Lender on (or,
to the extent permitted herein before) the Maturity Date the
outstanding principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest
thereon, and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note,
the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents, including,
without limitation, all interest that would accrue on the
outstanding principal balance of the Loan through and including the
end of the Interest Period in which the Maturity Date occurs (even
if such Interest Period extends beyond the Maturity Date).
2.2.5 Payments after
Default.
Upon 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
Applicable Law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect
of the Loan, shall accrue at the Default Rate, calculated from the
date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure
periods contained herein Interest at the Default Rate shall be
computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the
actual receipt and collection of the Debt (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 Debt, shall
itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be
secured by the Security Instruments; provided that no sums shall be
applied to the payment of principal under Note B until all
principal and interest and other sums due under Note A have been
paid in full. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement
or privilege to extend the date of the
38
payment
of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing
to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of
Default.
2.2.6 Late Payment
Charge.
If any principal, interest or any
other sums due under the Loan Documents (including the sums due on
the Maturity Date) is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it
is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to
the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum
amount permitted by Applicable Law in order to defray the expense
incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent
payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such
delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the
Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents to the extent
permitted by Applicable Law; provided, however, Borrower shall have
the option, not to be exercised more than three (3) times
during the term of the Loan, to not pay the late payment charge
contemplated by this Section 2.2.6 in the event any Monthly
Debt Service Payment Amount is paid within one (1) Business
Day after the date the same was due. Any late payment charges
received will be applied first to late charges accrued on Note A
and then to late charges accrued on Note B.
2.2.7 Usury Savings.
This Agreement and the Note are
subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be
obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of
the Loan at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the
terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at
any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal
balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal
Rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case
may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum
Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal
Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of
principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All
sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance,
or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent
permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and
spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in
full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan
does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to
time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan
is outstanding.
2.2.8 Foreign Taxes.
If the Loan is bearing interest at
the Eurodollar Rate, all payments made by Borrower hereunder shall
be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account
of, Foreign Taxes, excluding, in the case of Lender, Foreign Taxes
measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by
the jurisdiction under the laws of which Lender is resident or
organized, or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of
Lender, taxes measured by its overall net income, and franchise
taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of Lender’s lending
office or any political subdivision thereof or in which Lender is
resident or engaged in business. If any non-excluded Foreign Taxes
are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender
hereunder, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to
the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all
non-excluded Foreign Taxes) interest or any such other
39
amounts
payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified
hereunder. Whenever any non-excluded Foreign Tax is payable
pursuant to Applicable Law by Borrower, Borrower shall send to
Lender an original official receipt showing payment of such
non-excluded Foreign Tax or other evidence of payment reasonably
satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender for any
incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by
Lender which may result from any failure by Borrower to pay any
such non-excluded Foreign Tax when due to the appropriate taxing
authority or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender the
required receipts or other required documentary evidence, provided,
however, in the event that Lender or any successor and/or assign of
Lender is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of
America or a state thereof Lender agrees that, prior to the first
date on which any payment is due such entity hereunder, it will
deliver to Borrower (i) two duly completed copies of United
States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or successor
applicable form, as the case may be, certifying in each case that
such entity is entitled to receive payments under the Note, without
deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes,
or (ii) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or successor
applicable form, as the case may be, to establish an exemption from
United States backup withholding tax. Each entity required to
deliver to Borrower a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or Form W-9 pursuant to
the preceding sentence further undertakes to deliver to Borrower
two further copies of the said letter and W-8BEN or W-8ECI or Form
W-9, or successor applicable forms, or other manner of
certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any
such letter or form expires (which, in the case of the Form W-8ECI,
is the last day of each U.S. taxable year of the non-U.S. entity)
or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring
a change in the most recent letter and form previously delivered by
it to Borrower, and such other extensions or renewals thereof as
may reasonably be requested by Borrower, certifying in the case of
a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI that such entity is entitled to receive
payments under the Note without deduction or withholding of any
United States federal income taxes, unless in any such case an
event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or
regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such
delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms
inapplicable or which would prevent such entity from duly
completing and delivering any such letter or form with respect to
it and such entity advises Borrower that it is not capable of
receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United
States federal income tax, and in the case of a Form W-9,
establishing an exemption from United States backup withholding
tax. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such entity fails to provide
a duly completed Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or other applicable form
and, under Applicable Law, in order to avoid liability for Foreign
Taxes, Borrower is required to withhold on payments made to such
entity that has failed to provide the applicable form, Borrower
shall be entitled to withhold the appropriate amount of Foreign
Taxes. In such event, Borrower shall promptly provide to such
entity evidence of payment of such Foreign Taxes to the appropriate
taxing authority and shall promptly forward to such entity any
official tax receipts or other documentation with respect to the
payment of the Foreign Taxes as may be issued by the taxing
authority.
Section 2.3

(b) Borrower
shall pay to Lender, simultaneously with such prepayment, (i)
(a) if such prepayment occurs during the First Prepayment
Period, a prepayment premium equal to one percent (1%) of then
outstanding principal amount of the Loan (or in the case of a
partial prepayment in connection with a release pursuant to
Section 2.5, the amount being prepaid) and (b) if such
prepayment occurs during the Second Prepayment Period, a prepayment
premium equal to one half of one percent (0.5%) of then outstanding
principal amount of the Loan (or in the case of a partial
prepayment in connection with a release pursuant to
Section 2.5, the amount being prepaid), and (c) if such
prepayment occurs after the Second Prepayment Period, no prepayment
premium shall be due, (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest
calculated at the Applicable Interest Rate on the amount of
principal being prepaid through and including the Prepayment Date,
(iii) in the event that any such prepayment is made on a day
other than a Payment Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender a sum equal
to the amount of interest which would have accrued under the Note
on the amount of such prepayment through the end of the Interest
Period in which the next Payment Date occurs (the “Interest
Shortfall”), (iv) Breakage Costs, if any, without
duplication of any sums paid pursuant to the preceding clause
(ii) and (iii); and (v) all other sums then due under

Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration of an
Individual Property, Borrower shall prepay the outstanding
principal balance of the Note in an amount equal to one hundred
percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. Such prepayment shall be
applied, first, to interest on the outstanding principal balance of
the Loan that would have accrued at the Applicable Interest Rate on
the amount prepaid through the end of the Interest Period in which
such prepayment occurs, notwithstanding that such Interest Period
extends beyond the date of prepayment, and then to all other
amounts then due to Lender under this Agreement or any of the other

Default.
If, following an uncured Event of
Default, Borrower tenders payment of all or any part of the Debt,
or if all or any portion of the Debt is recovered by Lender after

voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition
against prepayment of the Loan prior to the expiration of the
Lockout Period and Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt,
(i) all accrued and unpaid interest calculated at the
Applicable Interest Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid

Section 2.4 Interest
Rate Cap Agreement.
(a) Borrower
shall obtain, or cause to be obtained, and shall thereafter
maintain in effect, an Interest Rate Cap Agreement with an
Acceptable Counterparty, which shall be coterminous with the Loan
and have a notional amount which shall not at any time be less than
the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and which shall at
all times have a strike rate equal to the Strike Rate. The
Counterparty shall be obligated under the Interest Rate Cap
Agreement to make monthly payments equal to the excess of one
(1) month LIBOR over the Strike Rate, calculated on the
notional amount. The notional amount of the Interest Rate Cap
Agreement may be reduced from time to time in amounts equal to any
payment of the principal of the Loan in accordance with the terms
hereof.
(b) Borrower
shall collaterally assign to Lender pursuant to an Assignment of
Interest Rate Cap Agreement substantially in the form annexed
hereto as Exhibit C, all of its right, title and interest to
receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement
(and any related guarantee, if any) and shall deliver to Lender an
executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement and notify
the Counterparty of such collateral assignment (either in such
Interest Rate Cap Agreement or by separate instrument). The
Counterparty shall agree in writing to make all payments it is
required to make under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement directly to
the Lockbox Account or if the Lockbox Account is not then required
to be in effect, into an Account controlled by Borrower. At such
time as the Loan is repaid in full, all of Lender’s right,
title and interest in the Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall
terminate and Lender shall promptly execute and deliver at
Borrower’s sole cost and expense, such documents as may be
required to evidence Lender’s release of the Interest Rate
Cap Agreement and to notify the Counterparty of such release.
(c) Borrower
shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and
provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by
the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be
deposited immediately into the Lockbox Account or if the Lockbox
Account is not then required to be in effect, into an Account
controlled by Borrower. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably
requested by Lender to enforce Borrower’s and Lender’s
rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a
default by the Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise
modify any of its rights thereunder.
(d) In
the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the
rating of the Counterparty below “A+” (or the
equivalent) by the Rating Agencies, Borrower shall replace the
Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap
Agreement with an Acceptable Counterparty not later than thirty
(30) days following receipt of notice from Lender or Servicer
of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification.
43
(e) In
the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the
Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any Replacement Interest Cap
Agreement as and when required hereunder, and such failure shall
continue for ten (10) days following written notice from
Lender, Lender may purchase such Interest Rate Cap Agreement and
the cost incurred by Lender in purchasing such Interest Rate Cap
Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon
at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender
until such cost is paid by Borrower to Lender.
(f) In
connection with an Interest Rate Cap Agreement, if requested by
Lender in connection with a Securitization, Borrower shall use
commercially reasonable efforts (which shall not require the
expenditure of funds by Borrower) to obtain and deliver to Lender
an opinion of counsel from counsel for the Counterparty (upon which
Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall
provide, in relevant part, that:
(i) the
Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good
standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and
has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver,
and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap
Agreement;
(ii)
the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement by
the Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Counterparty
has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of
its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by
all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its
certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent
organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual
restriction binding on or affecting it or its property;
(iii)
all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the
execution and delivery by the Counterparty of the Interest Rate Cap
Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has
executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its
obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force
and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with,
and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any
governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such
execution, delivery or performance; and
(iv)
the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the
Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been
duly executed and delivered by the Counterparty and constitutes the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Counterparty,
enforceable against the Counterparty in accordance with its terms,
subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws
affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to
enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of
whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at
law).
Section 2.5 Release
of Property.
2.5.1 Release of Individual
Property.
Provided no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, after the expiration of the Lockout
Period, Borrower may obtain the release of an Individual Property
from the Lien of the
44
Security
Instrument thereon (and related Loan Documents) and the release of
Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents with respect
to such Individual Property (other than those expressly stated to
survive), but only upon the satisfaction of each of the following
conditions:
(a) Borrower
shall provide Lender with at least thirty (30) days but no
more than ninety (90) days prior written notice of its request to
obtain a release of the Individual Property;
(b) Intentionally
Omitted;
(c) Lender
shall have received a wire transfer of immediately available
federal funds in an amount equal to the Release Price for the
applicable Individual Property, together with (i) all accrued
and unpaid interest calculated at the Applicable Interest Rate on
the amount of principal being prepaid through and including the
Prepayment Date, (ii) the Interest Shortfall, if applicable,
with respect to the amount prepaid, (iii) Breakage Costs, if
any, without duplication of any sums paid pursuant to the preceding
clause (ii); and (iii) all other sums due under this
Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents in connection with
such release;
(d) Borrower
shall submit to Lender, not less than five (5) days prior to
the date of such release, a release of Lien (and related Loan
Documents) for such Individual Property for execution by Lender.
Such release shall be in a form appropriate in each State in which
the Individual Property is located and shall contain standard
provisions, if any, protecting the rights of Lender. In addition,
Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably
requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such
release, together with an Officer’s Certificate certifying
that (i) such documentation is in compliance with all
applicable Legal Requirements, and (ii) the release will not
impair or otherwise adversely affect the Liens, security interests
and other rights of Lender under the Loan Documents not being
released (or as to the parties to the Loan Documents and Properties
subject to the Loan Documents not being released);
(e) After
giving effect to such release, Lender shall have determined that
the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Properties then remaining
subject to the Lien of a Security Instrument (not including the
Individual Property to be released) (but for the purpose of this
calculation only, assuming a Release Price equal to the Allocated
Loan Amount) shall be at least equal to the Debt Service Coverage
Ratio for all of the Properties (including the Individual Property
to be released) for the twelve (12) full calendar months
immediately preceding the release of the Individual Property, which
determination shall be made after giving effect to (i) such
release and (ii) any additional voluntary prepayment made by
Borrower, but only to the extent necessary to meet such minimum
Debt Service Coverage Ratio. If Borrower shall make such voluntary
prepayment, such prepayment shall be made in accordance with
Section 2.3.1(b); provided, however, that if the Individual
Property to be released is conveyed pursuant to a Conveyance to a
Non-Affiliate, no prepayment premium shall be due regardless of
when such voluntary prepayment is made;
(f) Lender
shall have received evidence that the Individual Property to be
released shall be conveyed to a Person other than Borrower or
Principal;
45
(g) In
the event the Individual Property to be released is subject to an
Operating Lease along with one or more additional Properties,
Lender shall have received a certified copy of an amendment to the
Operating Lease reflecting the deletion of the Individual Property
to be released;
(h) After
giving effect to such release, Lender shall have determined that
the aggregate Allocated Loan Amounts for all Individual Properties
released pursuant to this Section 2.5 (including the
Individual Property to be released) shall not exceed the Release
Cap; and
(i) Lender
shall have received payment of all Lender’s reasonable out of
pocket costs and expenses, including due diligence review costs and
reasonable counsel fees and disbursements incurred in connection
with the release of the Individual Property from the lien of the
related Security Instrument and the review and approval of the
documents and information required to be delivered in connection
therewith.
2.5.2 Release on Payment in
Full.
Lender shall, upon the written
request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of all
principal and interest due 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 this Agreement, release the Lien of
the Security Instrument on each Individual Property not theretofore
released.
Section 2.6
Substitution of Properties.
Subject to the terms of this
Section 2.6, Borrower may obtain a release of the Lien of a
Security Instrument (and the related Loan Documents) encumbering an
Individual Property (a “Release Property”) by
substituting therefor another hotel property of like kind and
quality acquired by Borrower (individually, a “Substitute
Property” and collectively, the “Substitute
Properties”), provided that the following conditions
precedent are satisfied:
(a) Intentionally
Omitted.
(b) Lender
shall have received at least sixty (60) days prior written
notice requesting the substitution and identifying the Substitute
Property and Release Property.
(c) If
the Borrower continues to own an Individual Property subject to the
Lien of a Security Instrument, Lender shall have received
(i) a copy of a deed conveying all of Borrower’s right,
title and interest in and to the Release Property to a Person other
than Borrower or Principal pursuant to an arms length transaction
and (ii) a letter from Borrower countersigned by a title
insurance company acknowledging receipt of such deed and agreeing
to record such deed in the real estate records for the county in
which the Release Property is located.
(d) Lender
shall have received a current Appraisal of (i) the Substitute
Property and (ii) the Release Property, each prepared within
sixty (60) days prior to the release and substitution, showing
an appraised value of the Substitute Property equal to or greater
than one hundred percent (100%) of the appraised value of the
Release Property immediately prior to the date of the proposed
substitution.
46
(e) After
giving effect to such release and substitution, Lender shall have
determined that the aggregate Allocated Loan Amounts for all
Substitute Properties substituted as an Individual Property
pursuant to this Section 2.6 (including the Substitute
Property proposed to be substituted) shall not exceed the
Substitution Cap.
(f) Lender
shall have received a certificate of Borrower certifying, that the
Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the twelve (12) months
immediately preceding the substitution with respect to the
remaining Properties and the Substitute Property proposed to be
substituted is equal to or greater than the Debt Service Coverage
Ratio for the twelve (12) full calendar months immediately
preceding the date of the proposed substitution with respect to the
Properties.
(g) If
the Loan is part of a Securitization, Lender shall have received
confirmation in writing from the Rating Agencies to the effect that
such release and substitution will not result in a withdrawal,
qualification or downgrade of the respective ratings in effect
immediately prior to such release and substitution for the
Securities issued in connection with the Securitization that are
then outstanding.
(h) Unless
such event or condition relates solely to the Release Property and
will be fully cured by the release and substitution, no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Borrower shall be
in compliance in all material respects with all terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement and in each other Loan
Document on Borrower’s part to be observed or performed.
Lender shall have received a certificate from Borrower confirming
the foregoing, stating that the representations and warranties
contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true
and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of the
release and substitution with respect to Borrower, the Properties
and the Substitute Property and containing any other
representations and warranties with respect to Borrower, the
Properties, the Substitute Property or the Loan as (i) Lender,
if a Securitization has not occurred, or (ii) the Rating
Agencies, if a Securitization has occurred, may require, unless
such certificate would be inaccurate, such certificate to be in
form and substance satisfactory to Lender or the Rating Agencies,
as applicable.
(i) Borrower
shall (A) have executed, acknowledged and delivered to Lender
(I) a Security Instrument, an Assignment of Leases and Rents
and two UCC-1 Financing Statements with respect to the Substitute
Property, together with a letter from Borrower countersigned by a
title insurance company acknowledging receipt of such Security
Instrument, Assignment of Leases and Rents and UCC-1 Financing
Statements and agreeing to record or file, as applicable, such
Security Instrument, Assignment of Leases and Rents and one of the
UCC-1 Financing Statements in the real estate records for the
county in which the Substitute Property is located and to file one
of the UCC-1 Financing Statements in the office of the Secretary of
State (or other central filing office) of the State under the laws
of which Borrower was organized, so as to effectively create upon
such recording and filing valid and enforceable first priority
Liens upon the Substitute Property, in favor of Lender (or such
other trustee as may be desired under local law), subject only to
the Permitted Encumbrances and such other Liens as are permitted
pursuant to the Loan Documents and (II) an Environmental
Indemnity with respect to the Substitute Property from Indemnitor
and (B) have caused Guarantor to acknowledge and confirm its
obligations under the Loan Documents. The Security Instrument,
Assignment of Leases and Rents, UCC-1 Financing Statements and
Environmental Indemnity shall be the same in form and
47
substance as the counterparts of such documents executed and
delivered with respect to the related Release Property subject to
modifications reflecting only the Substitute Property as the
Individual Property and such modifications reflecting the laws of
the State in which the Substitute Property is located. The Security
Instrument encumbering the Substitute Property shall secure all
amounts then outstanding under the Note, provided that in the event
that the jurisdiction in which the Substitute Property is located
imposes a mortgage recording, intangibles or similar tax and does
not permit the allocation of indebtedness for the purpose of
determining the amount of such tax payable, the principal amount
secured by such Security Instrument shall be equal to one hundred
twenty-five percent (125%) of the Allocated Loan Amount for the
Substitute Property. The amount of the Loan allocated to the
Substitute Property (such amount being hereinafter referred to as
the “Substitute Allocated Loan Amount”) shall equal the
Allocated Loan Amount of the related Release Property.
(j) Lender
shall have received (A) to the extent available, any
“tie-in” or similar endorsement, together with a
“first loss” endorsement, to each Title Insurance
Policy insuring the Lien of the existing Security Instruments as of
the date of the substitution with respect to the Title Insurance
Policy insuring the Lien of the Security Instrument with respect to
the Substitute Property and (B) a Title Insurance Policy (or a
marked, signed and redated commitment to issue such Title Insurance
Policy) insuring the Lien of the Security Instrument encumbering
the Substitute Property, issued by the title company that issued
the Title Insurance Policies insuring the Lien of the existing
Security Instruments and dated as of the date of the substitution,
with reinsurance and direct access agreements that replace such
agreements issued in connection with the Title Insurance Policy
insuring the Lien of the Security Instrument encumbering the
Release Property. The Title Insurance Policy issued with respect to
the Substitute Property shall (1) provide coverage in the
amount of the Substitute Allocated Loan Amount if the
“tie-in” or similar endorsement described above is
available or, if such endorsement is not available, in an amount
equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Substitute
Allocated Loan Amount, together, if available, with “last
dollar endorsement,” (2) insure Lender that the relevant
Security Instrument creates a valid first lien on the Substitute
Property encumbered thereby, free and clear of all exceptions from
coverage other than Permitted Encumbrances and standard exceptions
and exclusions from coverage (as modified by the terms of any
endorsements), (3) contain such endorsements and affirmative
coverages as are then available and are contained in the Title
Insurance Policies insuring the Liens of the existing Security
Instruments, and such other endorsements or affirmative coverage
that a prudent institutional mortgage lender would require, and
(4) name Lender as the insured. Lender also shall have
received copies of paid receipts or other evidence showing that all
premiums in respect of such endorsements and Title Insurance
Policies have been paid.
(k) Lender
shall have received a current Survey for each Substitute Property,
certified to the title company and Lender and its successors and
assigns, in the same form and having the same content as the
certification of the Survey of the Release Property prepared by a
professional land surveyor licensed in the State in which the
Substitute Property is located and acceptable to the Rating
Agencies in accordance with the 2005 Minimum Standard Detail
Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys. Such Survey shall
reflect the same legal description contained in the Title Insurance
Policy relating to such Substitute Property and shall include,
among other things, a metes and bounds description of the real
property comprising part of such Substitute Property (unless such
real property has been satisfactorily designated by lot
48
number
on a recorded plat). The surveyor’s seal shall be affixed to
each Survey and each Survey shall certify whether or not the
surveyed property is located in a “one-hundred-year flood
hazard area.”
(l) Lender
shall have received valid certificates of insurance indicating that
the requirements for the policies of insurance required for an
Individual Property hereunder have been satisfied with respect to
the Substitute Property and evidence of the payment of all
Insurance Premiums payable for the existing policy period.
(m) Lender
shall have received a Phase I environmental report dated not more
than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the proposed date
of substitution and otherwise acceptable to a prudent institutional
mortgage loan lender and, if recommended under the Phase I
environmental report, a Phase II environmental report that would be
acceptable to a prudent institutional mortgage loan lender, which
conclude that the Substitute Property does not contain any
Hazardous Materials and is not subject to any significant risk of
contamination from any off site Hazardous Materials.
(n) Borrower
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender (A) updates
or, if the Substitute Property is to be owned by an Affiliate of
Borrower, originals, in either case certified by Borrower or such
Affiliate, as applicable, of all organizational documentation

counsel: (A) an opinion or opinions of counsel admitted to
practice under the laws of the State in which the Substitute
Property is located stating that the Loan Documents delivered with
respect to the Substitute Property pursuant to clause
(i) above are valid and enforceable in accordance with their
terms, subject to the laws applicable to creditors’ rights
and equitable principles, and that Borrower is qualified to do
business and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction
where the Substitute Property is located or that Borrower is not
required by Applicable Law to qualify to do business in such
jurisdiction; (B) an opinion of counsel acceptable to the
Rating Agencies if the Loan is part of a Securitization, or Lender
if the Loan is not part of a Securitization, stating that the Loan
Documents delivered with respect to the Substitute Property
pursuant to this Section, among other things, duly authorized,
executed and delivered by Borrower and that the execution and
delivery of such Loan Documents and the performance by Borrower of
its obligations thereunder will not cause a breach of, or a default
under, any agreement, document or instrument to which Borrower is a
party or to which it or its properties are bound; (C) an
update of the Insolvency Opinion indicating that the substitution
does not affect the opinions set forth therein; (D) if the
Loan is part of a Securitization, an opinion of counsel acceptable

Trust.
49

(s) Upon
the request of Lender, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender
estoppel certificates from all tenants under Major Leases at the

work as required under such Major Lease.
(t) Lender

the amount of 125% of the estimated cost of completing such
immediate or on-going repairs, provided, however, in no event shall
Lender be obligated to accept a Substitute Property if the physical
condition report relating to such Substitute Property indicates any
damage or deficiencies which in Lender’s reasonable judgment
create a risk to the safety or well-being to the occupants of such
Substitute Property.
(x) Lender
shall have received evidence which would be satisfactory to a
prudent institutional mortgage loan lender to the effect that all

the use and occupancy of the Substitute Property as a hotel
including, but not limited to, current certificates of occupancy,

4.1.3 No Conflicts.
The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by
Borrower will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the

(other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the
property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership
agreement, management agreement, franchise agreement, or other
agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which
any of Borrower’s property or assets is subject, nor will
such action result in any violation of the provisions of any
statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or
Governmental Authority or body having jurisdiction over Borrower or
any of the Properties or any of Borrower’s other assets, or
any license or other approval required to operate the Properties,
and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or
qualification of or with any Governmental Authority required for
the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this
Agreement or any other Loan Documents have been obtained and is in

4.1.4 Litigation.
There are no actions, suits or
proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental

affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of
Borrower or the condition or ownership of the Properties (taken as

4.1.5 Agreements.
Borrower is not a party to any
agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which would
reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect Borrower
or any Individual Property, or Borrower’s business,
properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or
otherwise. Borrower is not in default in any material respect in
the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the
obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement
or
60
instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or any of

Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the
making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities,
including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed
and contingent liabilities. Borrower’s assets do not and,
immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute
unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted
or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to incur
debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other
commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as
they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to
be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in
respect of obligations of Borrower). No petition under the
Bankruptcy Code or similar state bankruptcy or insolvency law has
been filed against Borrower or any constituent Person in the last
seven (7) years, and neither Borrower nor any constituent Person in
the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the
benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for
the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower nor any of its constituent
Persons are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it
under the Bankruptcy Code or similar state bankruptcy or insolvency
law or the liquidation of all or a major portion of
Borrower’s assets or property, and Borrower has no knowledge
of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against
it or such constituent Persons.
4.1.7 Full and Accurate
Disclosure.
No statement of fact made by Borrower
in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains
any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any
material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or
therein not misleading in any material respects. There is no fact
presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender

expected to materially and adversely affect, any Individual
Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or
otherwise) of Borrower.

Borrower are not subject to State statutes regulating investment
of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans

currently in effect, which prohibit or otherwise restrict the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Borrower, Ground Lessor with respect
to the Ground Lease Properties and the Properties and the use
thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal
Requirements, including, without limitation, to the best of

effect on any Individual Property or the operation ther
