interest on the principal balance of the Loan
outstanding
-24-
from time to
time shall accrue from (and including) the Closing Date up to and
including the end of the last Interest Period at the Applicable
Interest Rate.
2.2.2 Interest Calculation . Interest on the
outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by
multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the
period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily
rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year (that is,
the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as then
applicable, expressed as an annual rate divided by 360) by
(c) the outstanding principal balance.
2.2.3 Determination of Interest Rate . (a) Any
change in the rate of interest hereunder due to a change in the
Applicable Interest Rate shall become effective as of the first day
of the new Interest Period. Each determination by Lender of the
Applicable Interest Rate shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error.
(b) 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, by notice to Borrower
(“ Lender’s Notice ”), which notice
shall set forth in reasonable detail such circumstances, establish
the Applicable Interest Rate at Lender’s then customary
spread (the “ Substitute Spread ”),
taking into account the size of the Loan and the creditworthiness
of Borrower, above a published index used for variable rate loans
as reasonably determined by Lender (the “ Substitute
Rate ”).
(c) If,
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Loan has been
converted to a Substitute Rate Loan and Lender shall determine
(which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower
absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which
resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable or
reasonable and adequate means for establishing LIBOR otherwise
exist as determined by Lender, Lender shall give notice thereof to
Borrower, and the Substitute Rate Loan shall automatically convert
to a LIBOR Loan on the first day of the Interest Period next
following the effective date set forth in such notice.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in
no event shall Borrower have the right to elect to convert a LIBOR
Loan to a Substitute Rate Loan.
(d) With
respect to a LIBOR Loan, all payments made by Borrower hereunder
shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on
account of, income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties,
charges, fees, deductions, reserves or withholdings imposed,
levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental
Authority, which are imposed, enacted or become effective after the
date hereof (such non-excluded taxes being referred to collectively
as “ Foreign Taxes ”), excluding income
and franchise taxes of the United States of America or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein
(including Puerto Rico). If any 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 Foreign Taxes) interest or
any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the
amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any Foreign Tax is payable
pursuant to applicable law by Borrower, as promptly as possible
thereafter, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official
receipt, if available, or certified copy thereof showing payment of
such Foreign Tax. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender for any
incremental taxes,
-25-
interest or
penalties that may become payable by Lender which may result from
any failure by Borrower to pay any such 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.
(e) If
any requirement of law or any change therein or in the
interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it
unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan as
contemplated hereunder, (i) the obligation of Lender hereunder
to make a LIBOR Loan shall be cancelled forthwith and
(ii) Lender may give Borrower a Lender’s Notice,
establishing the Applicable Interest Rate at the Substitute Rate
plus the Substitute Spread, in which case the Applicable Interest
Rate shall be a rate equal to the Substitute Rate in effect from
time to time plus the Substitute Spread. In the event the condition
necessitating the cancellation of Lender’s obligation to make
a LIBOR Loan hereunder shall cease, Lender shall promptly notify
Borrower of such cessation and the Loan shall resume its
characteristics as a LIBOR Loan in accordance with the terms herein
from and after the first day of the calendar month next following
such cessation. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay Lender, upon
demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for
any actual (as reasonably determined by Lender) out-of-pocket costs
incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this
Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees
payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to
make or maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder. Lender’s notice of
such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be set forth in
reasonable detail and Lender’s calculation shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.
(f) In
the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the
interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender with
any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental
Authority:
(i) shall
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;
(ii) shall
hereafter impose, modify, increase 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 office of Lender which is
not otherwise included in the determination of the rate hereunder;
or
(iii) shall
hereafter impose on Lender any other condition and the result of
any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making,
renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce
any amount receivable hereunder;
then, in any
such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any
additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such
additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to
be material as determined by Lender. If Lender becomes entitled
to
-26-
claim any
additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(f) ,
Borrower shall not be required to pay same unless the requirement
for such additional amounts is the result of requirements imposed
generally on lenders similar to Lender and not the result of some
specific reserve or similar requirement imposed on Lender as a
result of Lender’s special circumstances. If Lender becomes
entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 2.2.3(f) , Lender shall provide Borrower with
not less than thirty (30) days written notice specifying in
reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so
entitled and the additional amounts required to fully compensate
Lender for such additional costs or reduced amounts. A certificate
as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the
foregoing sentence, executed by an authorized signatory of Lender
and submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of
the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower
under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
(g) Borrower
agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any
loss or expense (other than consequential and punitive damages)
which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) any
default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on a
LIBOR Loan, 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 a LIBOR Loan hereunder,
(ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the
LIBOR Loan on a day that (A) is not the Monthly Payment Date
immediately following the last day of an Interest Period with
respect thereto or (B) is the Monthly 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 LIBOR Loan hereunder and (iii) the
conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or
involuntary) of the Applicable Interest Rate to the Substitute Rate
plus the Substitute Spread with respect to any portion of the
outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest at a
rate other than the Substitute Rate plus the Substitute Spread on a
date other than the Monthly 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 a LIBOR Loan
hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and
(iii) are herein referred to collectively as the “
Breakage Costs ”). Whenever in this Section
2.2.3 the term “interest or fees payable by Lender to
lenders of funds obtained by it” is used and no such funds
were actually obtained from such lenders, it shall include interest
or fees which would have been payable by Lender if it had obtained
funds from lenders in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder.
Lender will provide to Borrower a statement detailing such Breakage
Costs and the calculation thereof.
(h) The
provisions of this Section 2.2.3 shall survive payment
of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations
of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.
2.2.4 Usury Savings . This Agreement and the other
Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time
shall Borrower be required to pay interest on the principal balance
of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or
criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum
Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to
pay
-27-
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 from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so
long as the Loan is outstanding.
Section 2.3 Loan Payments .
2.3.1 Payment Before Maturity Date . Borrower shall
make a payment to Lender of interest only on the Closing Date for
the initial Interest Period. Borrower shall make a payment to
Lender of interest calculated in the manner set forth herein on the
Monthly Payment Date occurring in November, 2006 and on each
Monthly Payment Date thereafter to and including the Maturity
Date.
2.3.2 Payment on Maturity Date . (a) Borrower
shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal
balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other
amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgage and the
other Loan Documents.

will have two (2) options to extend the Maturity Date of the
Loan for consecutive one (1) year periods. In order to
exercise the first such extension right, Borrower shall deliver to
Lender written notice of such extension on or before
September 25, 2009 and, upon giving of such notice of
extension, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set
forth below in this Section 2.3.2(b) on or before
September 25, 2009, the Maturity Date as theretofore in effect
will be extended to November 9, 2010. In order to exercise the
second such extension right, Borrower shall deliver to Lender
written notice of such extension on or before September 25,
2010 and, upon the giving of such notice of extension, and subject
to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth below in this
Section 2.3.2(b) on or before September 25, 2010,
the Maturity Date as theretofore in effect will be extended to
November 9, 2011. The Maturity Date shall be extended pursuant
to Borrower’s notices as aforesaid, provided that the
following conditions are satisfied: (i) no Event of Default
shall be in existence either at the time of Borrower’s notice
or at the then-current Maturity Date and (ii) Borrower shall
enter into an Interest Rate Protection Agreement through the term
of the applicable extension under the same terms and conditions of
the initial Interest Rate Protection Agreement (including its LIBOR
strike price) entered into in connection with the Loan and shall
provide an Assignment of Protection Agreement with respect thereto
in the form of Assignment of Protection Agreement, together with an
opinion of counsel with respect thereto reasonably acceptable to
Lender.
2.3.3 Interest Rate and Payment after Default . In
the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal balance of
the Loan shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from
the date the Default occurred which led to such an Event of Default
without regard to any grace or cure periods
-28-
contained
herein. If all or any part of the principal amount of the Loan is
prepaid upon acceleration of the Loan following the occurrence of
an Event of Default prior to the Permitted Prepayment Date,
Borrower shall be required to pay Lender, in addition to all other
amounts then payable hereunder (including, without limitation,
(i) in the event that such prepayment is received on a Monthly
Payment Date, interest accruing on such amount calculated through
and including the end of the Interest Period in which such Monthly
Payment Date occurs, or (ii) in the event that such prepayment
is received on a date other than a Monthly Payment Date, interest
accruing on such amount calculated through and including the end of
the Interest Period in which the next Monthly Payment Date occurs),
a prepayment fee equal to a prepayment fee equal to one percent
(1%) of the amount of principal being repaid together with a Spread
Maintenance Premium calculated with respect to the amount of
principal being repaid and Breakage Costs.
2.3.4 Late Payment Charge . If any principal,
interest or any other sum due under the Loan Documents, other than
the payment of principal 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 Mortgage and the other Loan
Documents.
2.3.5 Method and Place of Payment . (a) Except
as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and
prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to
Lender not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date
when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of
America by wire transfer in federal or other in immediately
available funds to Lender’s account as such bank(s) as Lender
may from time to time designate, and any funds received by Lender
after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have
been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
(b) Whenever
any payment to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document
shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the
due date thereof shall be the first Business Day that is
immediately preceding such due date (notwithstanding such
adjustment of due dates, Borrower shall not be entitled to any
deduction of interest due under the Note, this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents) and, with respect to payments of
principal due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at
the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may
be, during such extension.
(c) All
payments required to be made by Borrower hereunder or under the
Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and
without deduction for, any setoff, claim or counterclaim and shall
be made irrespective of any defense thereto.
Section 2.4 Prepayments .
2.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments . Except as otherwise
provided herein, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the
Loan in whole or in part. On and after the Permitted Prepayment
Date Borrower may, at its option and upon thirty (30) days
prior notice to Lender, prepay the Debt in whole but not in part;
provided , however , any prepayment received by
Lender
-29-
prior to
November 10, 2008 shall be accompanied by the applicable
Prepayment Fee. Any prepayment received by Lender on a date other
than a Monthly Payment Date shall include interest which would have
accrued thereon to the next Monthly Payment Date; provided ,
however , that no prepayment shall be permitted on any date
during the period commencing on the first calendar day immediately
following a Monthly Payment Date to, but not including, the
Determination Date in such calendar month, unless consented to be
Lender in its sole discretion. Any notice of prepayment shall be
revocable by Borrower, except during the period commencing on the
date five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable date of
prepayment set forth in such notice of prepayment and ending on
such date, during which time such notice is irrevocable; provided,
Borrower may not revoke more than two (2) such notices of
prepayment in any twelve (12) month period. If Borrower elects
to revoke a notice of prepayment in accordance with the prior
sentence, Borrower shall indemnify and pay to Lender immediately
upon request the actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender
in connection with such revocation, including but not limited to
Breakage Costs as well as any and all costs of any holder of any
portion of the Securities which was caused as a result of such
revocation.
2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments . On each date on which
Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Proceeds, and if
Lender does not make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for a
Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or
otherwise remit such Net Proceeds to Borrower pursuant to
Section 5.3 hereof, Borrower shall, at Lender’s
option, prepay or authorize Lender to apply such Net Proceeds as a
prepayment of all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance
of the Note in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of
such Net Proceeds together with interest that would have accrued on
such amounts through the next Monthly Payment Date.
2.4.3 Prepayments After Default . If after an Event
of Default, payment of all or any part of the principal of the Loan
is tendered by Borrower (which tender Lender may reject to the
extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements), a purchaser
at foreclosure or any other Person, such tender shall be deemed an
attempt to circumvent the prohibition against prepayment set forth
in Section 2.4.1 and Borrower, such purchaser at
foreclosure or other Person shall pay (including, without
limitation, (i) in the event that such prepayment is received
on a Monthly Payment Date, interest accruing on such amount
calculated through and including the end of the Interest Period in
which such Monthly Payment Date occurs, or (ii) in the event
that such prepayment is received on a date other than a Monthly
Payment Date, interest accruing on such amount calculated through
and including the end of the Interest Period in which the next
Monthly Payment Date occurs), a prepayment fee equal to the Spread
Maintenance Premium, if applicable, in addition to the outstanding
principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and other
amounts payable under the Loan Documents.
Section 2.5 Interest Rate Cap . At all times
during the term of the Loan Borrower shall maintain in effect an
Interest Rate Protection Agreement having a term equal to the term
of the Loan, with an initial notional amount equal to the amount of
the Loan and with a Counterparty acceptable to Lender having a
Minimum Counterparty Rating. If Borrower obtains one
(1) interest rate cap, the LIBOR strike rate under the
Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall be equal to or less than
the Capped LIBOR Rate, or if Borrower obtains more than one
(1) interest rate cap, the blended LIBOR strike rate under the
Interest Rate Protection Agreement, as determined by Lender, shall
be equal to or less than the Capped LIBOR Rate. The Interest
Rate
-30-
Protection
Agreement shall be in form and substance substantially similar to
the Interest Rate Protection Agreement in effect as of the date
hereof. In the event of any downgrade or withdrawal of the rating
of such Counterparty by any Rating Agency below the Minimum
Counterparty Rating, Borrower shall replace the Interest Rate
Protection Agreement not later than thirty (30) Business Days
following receipt of notice from Lender of such downgrade or
withdrawal with an Interest Rate Protection Agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender (and meeting the requirements set
forth in this Section 2.5 ) from a Counterparty
acceptable to Lender having a Minimum Counterparty Rating;
provided , however , that if Lender is the
Counterparty and any Rating Agency withdraws or downgrades the
credit rating of Lender below the Minimum Counterparty Rating,
Borrower shall not be required to replace the Counterparty under
the Interest Rate Protection Agreement provided that within thirty
(30) Business Days following Lender’s notice to Borrower
of such downgrade or withdrawal Lender posts additional collateral
acceptable to the Rating Agencies securing its obligations under
the Interest Rate Protection Agreement.

be disqualified from serving as an Independent Manager if such
individual is either (i) a Professional Independent Manager or
(ii) the fees that such individual earns from serving as
independent director of affiliates of the Company in any given year
constitute in the aggregate less than five percent (5%) of such

whose organizational documents contain restrictions on its
activities substantially similar to those set forth in the SPC
Party’s organizational documents.
