the Senior Loan Documents or for any other purpose expressly permitted by the Senior Security
Instrument, or (2) constructing, renovating, repairing, furnishing, fixturing or equipping the
Property).
(b) Subordination of Subrogation Rights. The Subordinate Lender agrees that if, by
reason of the advance payment by Subordinate Lender of real estate taxes, casualty insurance
premiums or other monetary obligations of the Borrower to protect the Property, the Subordinate
Lender, by reason of its exercise of any other right or remedy under the Subordinate Loan
Documents, acquires by right of subrogation or otherwise a lien on the Property which would (but
for this subsection) be senior to the lien of the Senior Security Instrument, then, in that event, such
lien shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of the Senior Security Instrument, only to the extent
of the amount advanced, provided that Subordinate Lender gives Senior Lender prior written
notice of its intent to advance sums for real property taxes and/or casualty insurance.
(c) Payments Before Senior Loan Default. Until the Subordinate Lender receives a
Default Notice of a Senior Loan Default from the Senior Lender, the Subordinate Lender shall be
entitled to retain for its own account all payments made under or pursuant to the Subordinate Loan
Documents.

notice (or otherwise acquires knowledge) of a Senior Loan Default, it will not make any payments
under or pursuant to the Subordinate Loan Documents (including but not limited to principal,
interest, additional interest, late payment charges, default interest, attorney's fees, or any other
sums secured by the Subordinate Security Instrument) without the Senior Lender's prior written
consent excluding, however, such sums which were due and owing and received by the

the Senior Loan Default. The Subordinate Lender agrees that, after it receives a Default Notice
from the Senior Lender with written instructions directing the Subordinate Lender not to accept

Subordinate Lender's receipt of a new Default Notice from the Senior Lender in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 4(d).
(e) Remitting Subordinate Loan Payments to Senior Lender. If, after the
Subordinate Lender receives a Default Notice from the Senior Lender in accordance with

Documents. By executing this Agreement, the Borrower specifically authorizes the Subordinate

and all rights to have such payments returned to the Borrower or credited against the applicable
Subordinate Loan. Borrower and Senior Lender acknowledge and agree that payments received
by the Subordinate Lender, and remitted to the Senior Lender under this Section 4(e), shall not be
applied or otherwise credited against the Subordinate Loan, nor shall the tender of such payment

Subordinate Loan.

Senior Lender a Default Notice within five (5) Business Days in each case where the Subordinate
Lender has given a Default Notice to the Borrower. Failure of the Subordinate Lender to send a

rights and remedies under the Subordinate Loan Documents, subject to the provisions of this
Agreement. The Senior Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any Subordinate
Loan Default within 60 days following the date of such notice provided, however that the
Subordinate Lender shall be entitled, during such 60-day period, to continue to pursue its rights
and remedies under the Subordinate Loan Documents. All amounts paid by the Senior Lender in

Senior Security Instrument.

(b) Subordinate Lender's Exercise of Remedies After Notice to Senior Lender. If
a Subordinate Loan Default occurs and is continuing, the Subordinate Lender agrees that, without
the Senior Lender's prior written consent, it will not commence foreclosure proceedings with
respect to the Property under the Subordinate Loan Documents or exercise any other rights or
remedies it may have under the Subordinate Loan Documents, including, but not limited to
accelerating the Subordinate Loan, collecting rents, appointing (or seeking the appointment of) a
receiver or exercising any other rights or remedies thereunder unless and until it has given the
Senior Lender at least 60 days' prior written notice; during such 60 day period, however, the
Subordinate Lender shall be entitled to exercise and enforce all other rights and remedies available
to the Subordinate Lender under the Subordinate Loan Documents and/or under applicable laws.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5(b), during such 60 day period,
Subordinate Lender shall be entitled to exercise its rights to enforce covenants and agreements of
the Borrower relating to income, rent or affordability restrictions.
(c) Cross Default. The Borrower and the Subordinate Lender agree that a Subordinate
Loan Default shall constitute a Senior Loan Default under the Senior Loan Documents and the
Senior Lender shall have the right to exercise all rights or remedies under the Senior Loan
Documents in the same manner as in the case of any other Senior Loan Default. If the Subordinate
Lender notifies the Senior Lender in writing that any Subordinate Loan Default of which the Senior
Lender has received a Default Notice has been cured or waived, as determined by the Subordinate
Lender in its sole discretion, then provided that Senior Lender has not conducted a sale of the
Property pursuant to its rights under the Senior Loan Documents, any Senior Loan Default under
the Senior Loan Documents arising solely from such Subordinate Loan Default shall be deemed
cured, and the Senior Loan shall be reinstated, provided, however, that the Senior Lender shall not
be required to return or otherwise credit for the benefit of the Borrower any default rate interest or
other default related charges or payments received by the Senior Lender during such Senior Loan
Default.
6. Default Under Senior Loan Documents.
(a) Notice of Default and Cure Rights. The Senior Lender shall deliver to the
Subordinate Lender a Default Notice within five (5) Business Days in each case where the Senior
Lender has given a Default Notice to the Borrower. Failure of the Senior Lender to send a Default
Notice to the Subordinate Lender shall not prevent the exercise of the Senior Lender's rights and
remedies under the Senior Loan Documents, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. The
Subordinate Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any such Senior Loan
Default within 60 days following the date of such notice; provided, however, that the Senior
Lender shall be entitled during such 60-day period to continue to pursue its remedies under the
Senior Loan Documents. Subordinate Lender may have up to 90 days from the date of the Default
Notice to cure a non -monetary default if during such 90-day period Subordinate Lender keeps
current all payments required by the Senior Loan Documents. In the event that such a non -
monetary default creates an unacceptable level of risk relative to the Property, or Senior Lender's
secured position relative to the Property, as determined by Senior Lender in its sole discretion,
then Senior Lender may exercise during such 90-day period all available rights and remedies to
protect and preserve the Property and the rents, revenues and other proceeds from the Property.
All amounts paid by the Subordinate Lender to the Senior Lender to cure a Senior Loan Default
Subordination Agt (City of Miami)
(Stadium Towers / SAIL / ELI / RFA 2020-205 / 2021-245BS)

shall be deemed to have been advanced by the Subordinate Lender pursuant to, and shall be secured
by the lien of, the applicable Subordinate Security Instrument.
(b) Cross Default. The Subordinate Lender agrees that, notwithstanding any contrary
provision contained in the Subordinate Loan Documents, a Senior Loan Default shall not constitute
a default under the Subordinate Loan Documents if no other default occurred under the
Subordinate Loan Documents until either (i) the Senior Lender has accelerated the maturity of the
Senior Loan, or (ii) the Senior Lender has taken affirmative action to exercise its rights under the
Senior Security Instrument to collect rent, to appoint (or seek the appointment of) a receiver or to
foreclose on (or to exercise a power of sale contained in) the Senior Security Instrument. At any
time after a Senior Loan Default is determined to constitute a default under the Subordinate Loan
Documents, the Subordinate Lender shall be permitted to pursue its remedies for default under the
Subordinate Loan Documents, subject to the restrictions and limitations of this Agreement. If at
any time the Borrower cures any Senior Loan Default to the satisfaction of the Senior Lender, as
evidenced by written notice from the Senior Lender to the Subordinate Lender, any default under
the Subordinate Loan Documents arising from such Senior Loan Default shall be deemed cured
and the applicable Subordinate Loan shall be retroactively reinstated as if such Senior Loan Default
had never occurred.
7. Conflict.
The Borrower, the Senior Lender and the Subordinate Lender each agrees that, in the event
of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the Senior Loan Documents, the Subordinate
Loan Documents and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern and
control solely as to the following: (a) the relative priority of the security interests of the Senior
Lender and the Subordinate Lender in the Property; (b) the timing of the exercise of remedies by
the Senior Lender and the Subordinate Lender under the Senior Security Instrument and the
Subordinate Security Instrument, respectively; and (c) solely as between the Senior Lender and
the Subordinate Lender, the notice requirements, cure rights, and the other rights and obligations
which the Senior Lender and the Subordinate Lender have agreed to as expressly provided in this
Agreement. Borrower acknowledges that the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not,
and shall not be deemed to: extend Borrower's time to cure any Senior Loan Default or Subordinate
Loan Default, as the case may be; give the Borrower the right to notice of any Senior Loan Default
or Subordinate Loan Default, as the case may be other than that, if any, provided, respectively
under the Senior Loan Documents or the Subordinate Loan Documents; or create any other right
or benefit for Borrower as against Senior Lender or Subordinate Lender.
8. Rights and Obligations of the Subordinate Lender Under the Subordinate
Loan Documents and of the Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents.
Subject to each of the other terms of this Agreement, all of the following provisions shall
supersede any provisions of the Subordinate Loan Documents covering the same subject matter:
(a) Protection of Security Interest. The Subordinate Lender shall not, without the
prior written consent of the Senior Lender in each instance, take any action which has the effect of
increasing the indebtedness outstanding under, or secured by, the Subordinate Loan Documents,

Senior Lender, to advance funds to cure Senior Loan Defaults pursuant to Section 6(a) above and

taxes and insurance premiums, making necessary repairs to the Property and curing other defaults
by the Borrower under the Subordinate Loan Documents.
(b) Condemnation or Casualty. In the event of: a taking or threatened taking by
condemnation or other exercise of eminent domain of all or a portion of the Property (collectively,
a "Taking"); or the occurrence of a fire or other casualty resulting in damage to all or a portion of
the Property (collectively, a "Casualty"), at any time or times when the Senior Security Instrument
remains a lien on the Property the following provisions shall apply:
(1) The Subordinate Lender, in its sole capacity as lender, hereby agrees that
its rights (under the Subordinate Loan Documents or otherwise) to participate in any
proceeding or action relating to a Taking and/or a Casualty, or to participate or join in any
settlement of, or to adjust, any claims resulting from a Taking or a Casualty shall be and
remain subordinate in all respects to the Senior Lender's rights under the Senior Loan
Documents with respect thereto, and the Subordinate Lender shall be bound by any
settlement or adjustment of a claim resulting from a Taking or a Casualty made by the
Senior Lender; provided, however, this subsection and/or anything contained in this
Agreement shall not limit the rights of the Subordinate Lender to file any pleadings,
documents, claims or notices with the appropriate court with jurisdiction over the proposed
Taking and/or Casualty; and
(2) All proceeds received or to be received on account of a Taking or a
Casualty, or both, shall be applied (either to payment of the costs and expenses of repair
and restoration or to payment of the Senior Loan) in the manner set forth in the Senior
Security Instrument; provided, however, that if the Senior Lender elects to apply such
proceeds to payment of the principal of, interest on and other amounts payable under the
Senior Loan, any proceeds remaining after the satisfaction in full of the principal of,
interest on and other amounts payable under the Senior Loan shall be paid to, and may be
applied by, the Subordinate Lender in accordance with the applicable provisions of the
Subordinate Loan Documents, provided however, the Senior Lender agrees to consult with
the Subordinate Lender in determining the application of Casualty proceeds, provided
further however that in the event of any disagreement between the Senior Lender and the
Subordinate Lender over the application of Casualty proceeds, the decision of the Senior
Lender, in its sole discretion, shall prevail.
(c) No Modification of Subordinate Loan Documents. The Borrower and the
Subordinate Lender each agrees that, until the principal of, interest on and all other amounts
payable under the Senior Loan Documents have been paid in full, it will not, without the prior
written consent of the Senior Lender in each instance, increase the amount of the Subordinate
Loan, increase the required payments due under the Subordinate Loan, decrease the term of the
Subordinate Loan, increase the interest rate on the Subordinate Loan, or otherwise amend the
Subordinate Loan terms in a manner that creates an adverse effect upon the Senior Lender under
the Senior Loan Documents. Any unauthorized amendment of the Subordinate Loan Documents
