ARTICLE II

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE LOAN

Section 2.1.    The Loan.

(A)    Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Borrower contained herein, Lender agrees to lend to Borrower, and Borrower agrees to borrow from Lender, a loan in the amount of the Loan Amount (such loan and the obligation of Borrower to repay the same together with all interest and other amounts from time to time owing hereunder may be referred to as the “Loan”).

(B)    Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loan funded at Closing shall be used to (i) repay any existing indebtedness of Borrower secured by any mortgage encumbering all or any part of the Property; (ii) pay the fees owing to Lender and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including the reasonable legal fees and expenses of counsel to Lender, and the costs and expenses for title insurance, survey, recordation, and other expenses related to the Loan approved by Lender, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld; (iii) establish the Reserves required hereunder and make the initial deposits therein, (iv) to pay certain costs associated with the merger of certain Affiliates of Borrower (which shall be deemed equity distributions by Borrower for such purpose), and (v) to pay such other costs as are listed on the closing statement for the Loan approved by Lender, and to the extent of any proceeds remaining after clauses (i) through (v), for such lawful purpose as Borrower shall designate, provided such purpose does not violate the terms of any Loan Documents.

Page 33

(C)    Note. Contemporaneously with execution and delivery of this Agreement, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender:

(i)    that certain Promissory Note A-1 of even date herewith, in the stated principal amount of Ninety Million and No/100 Dollars ($90,000,000.00) executed by Borrower and payable to the order of KeyBank (as the same may hereafter be amended, supplemented, restated, replaced, increased, extended or consolidated from time to time, the “Note A-1”); and

(ii)    that certain Promissory Note A-2 of even date herewith, in the stated principal amount of Ninety Million and No/100 Dollars ($90,000,000.00) executed by Borrower and payable to the order of Citi (as the same may hereafter be amended, supplemented, restated, replaced, increased, extended or consolidated from time to time, the “Note A-2”)

Note A-1 and Note A-2 may be referred to, together with any additional or replacement promissory notes executed and delivered by Borrower to Lender in accordance with this Agreement, either individually or collectively, as the context may require, as the “Note”.

(D)    Security for the Mortgage Loan. Without limitation, the Note and Borrower’s obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (other than the Environmental Indemnity) shall be secured by the Security Instrument.

Section 2.2.    Interest.

(A)    Rate of Interest. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue interest at the Interest Rate applicable to each Component of the Loan. Except as herein provided with respect to interest accruing at the Default Rate, subject to Section 2.2(C), interest on each Component outstanding from time to time, subject to Section 2.2(D), shall accrue at the Floating Interest Rate from (and including) the Closing Date until (and including) the Maturity Date. The Floating Interest Rate applicable to an Interest Period shall be determined by Lender as set forth herein; provided, however, that LIBOR for the Interest Period commencing on the Closing Date through and including February 14, 2019 shall be 2.519%. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date the interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan for the related Interest Period.

(B)    Computation of Interest. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of each Component of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant Interest Period for which such calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on the Interest Rate applicable to such Component and a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the outstanding principal balance of such Component. The accrual period for calculating interest due on each Payment Date shall be the Interest Period in which such Payment Date occurs.

(C)    Interest Laws. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in the Note or the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall not be required to pay, and Lender shall not be permitted to collect, any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by law (the “Excess Interest”). If any Excess Interest is provided for, whether in the Interest Rate, the Default Rate, through any contingency or event, or otherwise, or is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been provided for herein or in the Note or in any of the other Loan Documents, then in such event: (1) the provisions of this subsection shall govern and control; (2) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay

Page 34

any Excess Interest; (3) any Excess Interest that Lender may have received hereunder shall be, at Lender’s option, to the fullest extent provided by applicable law: (a) applied as a credit against either or both of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan or accrued and unpaid interest thereunder (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law), (b) refunded to the payor thereof, or (c) any combination of the foregoing; (4) the Interest Rate provided for herein shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful rate allowed from time to time under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction; and (5) Borrower shall not have any action against Lender for any damages arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest except for such damages determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any Obligation is calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate under the Note, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on such Obligations shall, to the extent permitted by law, remain at the Maximum Rate until Lender shall have received or accrued the amount of interest which Lender would have received or accrued during such period on Obligations had the rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period. If the Default Rate shall be finally determined to be unlawful, then the applicable Interest Rate shall be applicable during any time when the Default Rate would have been applicable hereunder, provided however that if the Maximum Rate is greater or lesser than the applicable Interest Rate, then the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall apply.

(D)    Determination of Interest Rate.

(i)    In the event that Lender shall have reasonably determined that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market or otherwise LIBOR cannot be determined as provided in the definition of LIBOR as set forth herein and the Loan has not been converted to an Alternate Rate Loan in accordance with Section 2.2(D)(v) below, then Lender shall forthwith give notice thereof by telephone of such fact, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the next succeeding Determination Date. Subject to Section 2.2(D)(v) below, if such notice is given, the Loan shall be converted, from and after the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, to a Prime Rate Loan bearing interest based on the Prime Rate in effect on each applicable Determination Date.

(ii)    If, pursuant to the terms of Section 2.2(D)(i) above, the Loan has been converted to a Prime Rate Loan but thereafter:

(a)    LIBOR can again be determined as provided in the definition of LIBOR as set forth herein, Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower and convert the Prime Rate Loan back to a Floating Interest Rate Loan by delivering to Borrower notice of such conversion no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City Time), one (1) Business Day prior to the next succeeding Determination Date, and the Loan shall be converted to a Floating Interest Rate Loan, from, after and including the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period.

(b)    Lender has determined in good faith that LIBOR has been succeeded by an Alternate Index and such Alternate Index can be determined, then the Prime Rate Loan shall be converted to an Alternate Rate Loan, in accordance with, and subject to, the requirements set forth in Section 2.2(D)(v), provided for purposes of this Section 2.2(D)(ii)(b), all references to “Floating Interest Rate Loan” in Section 2.2(D)(v) shall be deemed to refer to such converted Prime Rate Loan.

(c)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to elect to convert (i) a Floating Interest Rate Loan to a Prime Rate Loan or an Alternate Rate Loan, (ii) a Prime Rate Loan to a Floating Interest Rate Loan or an Alternate Rate Loan or (iii) an Alternate Rate Loan to a Floating Interest Rate Loan or a Prime Rate Loan.

Page 35

(iii)    If, pursuant to the terms of Section 2.2(D)(v) below, the Loan has been converted to an Alternate Rate Loan but thereafter Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the Alternate Index cannot be ascertained as provided in the definition thereof, then Lender shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the next succeeding Determination Date. If such notice is given, the Alternate Rate Loan shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, to a Prime Rate Loan. If following such conversion to a Prime Rate Loan, the Alternate Index can again be determined, then Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower and convert the Prime Rate Loan back to an Alternate Rate Loan by delivering to Borrower notice of such conversion no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City Time), one (1) Business Day prior to the next succeeding Determination Date, and the Prime Rate Loan shall be converted to an Alternate Rate Loan, from, after and including 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 convert an Alternate Rate Loan to a Prime Rate Loan.

(iv)    If the adoption of 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 Floating Interest Rate Loan as contemplated hereunder, (i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make a Floating Interest Rate Loan or to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a Floating Interest Rate Loan shall be canceled forthwith and (ii) any outstanding Floating Interest Rate Loan shall be converted automatically to a Prime Rate Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period or within such earlier period as required by law. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any actual costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any actual and documented interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the Floating Interest Rate Loan hereunder. Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(v)    If at any time the Loan is outstanding as a Floating Interest Rate Loan and Lender has determined in good faith that LIBOR cannot be determined and LIBOR has been succeeded by an Alternate Index (an “Alternate Index Determination”), then the Loan shall be converted from a Floating Interest Rate Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan, provided that, following any rated Securitization, such conversion shall be subject to Lender’s receipt of: A) a REMIC Opinion as to the compliance of such conversion with the REMIC Requirements, and (B) a Rating Agency Confirmation in connection with such conversion (clauses (A) and (B), each an “Alternate Rate Condition”). Lender shall provide Borrower with written notice following the making of an Alternate Index Determination and, if any rated Securitization has occurred, shall promptly request the Rating Agency Confirmation described in clause (B) immediately above in the manner prescribed by the servicing agreement with respect to the Loan. Lender shall provide notice of (1) prior to any rated Securitization, the Alternate Index Determination and (2) following any rated Securitization and upon satisfaction of the Alternate Rate Condition, that the Alternate Rate Condition has been satisfied by giving notice of such determination in writing to Borrower at least two (2) Business Days prior to the next succeeding Determination Date. If such notice is given, the Loan shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, to an Alternate Rate Loan in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to convert a Floating Interest Rate Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan, or to convert an Alternate Rate Loan to a Floating Interest Rate Loan or a Prime Rate Loan.

Page 36

(E)    Breakage Indemnity. Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender actually sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on a Floating Interest Rate Loan, including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to third-party lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a Floating Interest Rate Loan hereunder, (ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the Floating Interest Rate Loan on a day that (A) is not a Payment Date or (B) is a Payment Date if Borrower did not give the prior written notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, such actual loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to third-party lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Floating Interest Rate Loan hereunder and (iii) the conversion pursuant to the terms hereof of the Floating Interest Rate Loan to the Prime Rate Loan or an Alternate Rate Loan on a date other than the Payment Date, including, without limitation, such actual loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to third-party lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a Floating Interest Rate Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, Borrower shall not indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. This provision 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.

Section 2.3.    Payments.

(A)    Monthly Debt Service Payments. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall make a payment of interest only on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan for the period commencing on and including the Closing Date through and including February 14, 2019. On March 9, 2019 and each subsequent Payment Date thereafter up to and including the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount. For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating Interest Periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately succeeding Business Day and with respect to payments of principal of the Loan due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, through and including the last day of the related Interest Period. So long as no Event of Default exists, the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount will be applied pro rata and pari passu between Note A-1 and Note A-2 and, if the Loan has been divided into two or more Components, so long as no Event of Default exists, each Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount shall be applied among the Components in the order of priority specified in the related Componentization Notice with respect to such Components. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount to the Note and among the Components in any order or priority that Lender shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion.

(B)    Date and Time of Payment. Borrower shall receive credit for payments on the Loan which are transferred to the account of Lender as provided below (i) on the day that such funds are received by Lender if such receipt occurs by 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on such day, or (ii) on the next succeeding Business Day after such funds are received by Lender if such receipt occurs after 3:00 p.m. (New York time). Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

(C)    Manner of Payment. Borrower promises to pay all of the Obligations relating to the Loan as such amounts become due or are declared due pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. All payments by Borrower on the Loan or otherwise under the Loan Documents shall be made without deduction, defense, set off or counterclaim and in immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States of America at such place or places, including such account or accounts, as Lender shall from time to time designate.

Page 37

(D)    Change of Payment Date and Interest Period. Lender shall have the right, to be exercised not more than twice during the term of the Loan, by not less than thirty (30) days’ written notice to Borrower, to change the Payment Date for each month thereafter. The amount of interest (or principal and interest) due on each Payment Date as so rescheduled shall be the same as the amount of interest (or principal and interest) that shall have been due on each Payment Date as originally scheduled, except that for the month in which the first rescheduled Payment Date occurs, the payment due shall be adjusted to reflect the accrual of interest over the actual number of days elapsed from and including the prior Payment Date to the first rescheduled Payment Date. If the Payment Date is changed in accordance with the foregoing, then (i) the period from the last Payment Date which occurs as originally scheduled to the first rescheduled Payment Date shall constitute an Interest Period, and (ii) thereafter, an Interest Period shall begin on each rescheduled Payment Date and end on the day prior to the rescheduled Payment Date in the following calendar month, and (iii) at Lender’s option, the Maturity Date shall be changed within the same month as originally scheduled, to the day having the same numerical date as the rescheduled Payment Date in the preceding month.

Section 2.4.    Maturity Date; Extensions.

(A)    Borrower’s Extension Rights. Borrower shall have two consecutive options (each an “Extension Option”) to extend the scheduled Maturity Date for one year each (each twelve month period, referred to herein as an “Extension Period”), to the First Extended Maturity Date or Second Extended Maturity Date, as applicable. Each such Extension Option shall be exercised, if at all, only by Borrower’s delivering to Lender written notice duly executed by Borrower, stating that Borrower thereby exercises its option to extend the scheduled Maturity Date, which notice shall be received by Lender at least sixty (60) (but not more than ninety (90)) days prior to, as applicable, the Stated Maturity Date (with respect to the exercise of the first Extension Option) or the First Extended Maturity Date (with respect to the exercise of the second Extension Option). A separate written notice and Extension Fee (paid on or prior to the commencement of the Extension Period) shall be required for the exercise of each of the Extension Options. In addition to timely notice, the following shall be conditions to Borrower’s right to exercise each and every Extension Option:

(i)    No Event of Default shall exist at the time when the extension notice is received by Lender, nor at any time thereafter through and including the Stated Maturity Date or the First Extended Maturity Date, as applicable;

(ii)    In the case of: (x) the extension of the scheduled Maturity Date to the First Extended Maturity Date, the Debt Yield as reasonably determined by Lender as of the Stated Maturity Date, shall be not less than seven and one-half percent (7.5%) and (y) the extension of the scheduled Maturity Date from First Extended Maturity Date to the Second Extended Maturity Date, the Debt Yield as reasonably determined by Lender as of the First Extended Maturity Date, shall be not less than eight percent (8.0%);

(iii)    Borrower shall pay to Lender the Extension Fee on or before the commencement of the applicable Extension Period;

(iv)    Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender on the first day of each Extension Period, one or more Interest Rate Cap Agreements, which shall be an Interest Rate Cap Agreement from an Acceptable Counterparty in a notional amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan, which Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall have a Strike Price equal to the Extension Strike Price and be effective commencing not later than the first date of such Extension Term and shall have a maturity date not earlier than the First Extended Maturity Date or the Second Extended Maturity Date, as applicable, together with a new Assignment of Cap (which shall be consented to by the Acceptable Counterparty);

Page 38

(v)    The second Extension Option to extend the scheduled Maturity Date to the Second Extended Maturity Date may not and shall not be exercisable or validly exercised unless the schedule Maturity Date shall have been extended to the first Extended Maturity Date;

(vi)    If the Mezzanine Loan is then outstanding, Mezzanine Borrower shall have exercised the applicable extension option to extend the Mezzanine Loan in accordance with the Mezzanine Loan Documents and the term of the Mezzanine Loan shall have been extended in accordance therewith;

(vii)    Borrower shall have reimbursed Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by Lender in connection with the requested extension; and

(viii)    Borrower shall promptly provide such evidence of satisfaction of the conditions to such extension as Lender may reasonably require.

If Borrower does not satisfy the Debt Yield condition set forth in clause (ii) above with respect to any Extension Option, then Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied such condition if Borrower makes a prepayment of the Loan in accordance with Section 2.8(A) (together with any prepayment made by Mezzanine Lender of the Mezzanine Loan in accordance with the Mezzanine Loan Agreement, provided that no prepayment of the Mezzanine Loan may be made without a contemporaneous pro rata prepayment of the Loan) before the first day of the applicable Extension Period in the aggregate amount equal to or greater than the amount that is required to increase the Debt Yield to the minimum Debt Yield required pursuant to clause (ii) above.

If the Extension Option shall be validly exercised, but the extension shall not occur because any condition shall not be satisfied, then the Extension Fee shall be returned to Borrower so long as no Event of Default exists. Regardless of whether the extension conditions are satisfied, Borrower shall reimburse Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by Lender in connection with the requested extension.

(B)    Obligation to Repay on Maturity Date. To the extent not sooner due and payable in accordance with the Loan Documents, the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other sums then owing to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

Section 2.5.    Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence of an Event of Default and for so long as such Event of Default continues and in any event from and after the maturity of the Loan, the Loan and all other Obligations shall bear interest until paid in full at a rate per annum that is (i) with respect to each Component, four percentage points (4.0%) in excess of the Interest Rate otherwise applicable to such Component and (ii) with respect to any other Obligations, four percentage points (4.0%) above the combined weighted average of the Interest Rates applicable to each of the Components, weighted on the basis of the corresponding outstanding principal balances of such Components (the “Default Rate”). Application of the Default Rate shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or any rights or remedies of Lender under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or applicable legal requirements, or a consent to any extension of time for the payment or performance of any obligation with respect to which the Default Rate may be invoked.

Page 39

Section 2.6.    Late Charges. If any payment of principal, interest or other sums due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (other than the principal due on the Maturity Date) is not paid as and when due, Borrower shall pay to Lender, in addition to all sums otherwise due and payable, a late fee in an amount equal to the lesser of four percent (4.0%) of such principal, interest or other sums due hereunder and the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.

Section 2.7.    Interest Rate Cap Agreement.

(A)    Prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing Date, Borrower shall enter into an Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a strike price no greater than the Strike Price. The Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) shall at all times be in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender with respect to such matters not otherwise set forth in this Agreement, (ii) shall at all times be with an Acceptable Counterparty, (iii) shall direct such Acceptable Counterparty to deposit directly into the Clearing Account designated by Lender from time to time, during the continuance of an Event of Default, as directed by Lender, any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (iv) shall be for a term through the end of the Interest Period associated with the then-applicable Maturity Date of the Loan and (v) shall at all times have a notional amount equal to or greater than the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan and shall at all times provide for the applicable Strike Price. Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender, pursuant to the Assignment of Cap, all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and shall deliver to Lender an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Lender and require that payments be deposited directly into the Clearing Account designated by Lender from time to time or such other account as Lender shall direct).

(B)    Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Acceptable Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrower or Lender shall be directly deposited immediately into the Clearing Account designated by Lender from time to time, or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, as directed by Lender. Borrower shall take all commercially reasonable actions requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Acceptable Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of Borrower’s rights thereunder.

(C)    In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Acceptable Counterparty by any Rating Agency such that it is no longer an Acceptable Counterparty, Borrower shall replace or cause the cap provider to replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement not later than the period of time provided for in such Interest Rate Cap Agreement following such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification (not to exceed ten (10) Business Days), provided, Borrower shall not be required to replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement so long as within ten (10) Business Days of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification, the Acceptable Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement provides a guarantor of its obligations that is an Acceptable Counterparty pursuant to such terms as are acceptable to the Rating Agencies and Lender.

(D)    Borrower shall deliver to Lender a new Assignment of Cap acceptable to Lender in connection with each new Interest Rate Cap Agreement and Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement (the parties agree that the form of the Assignment of Cap provided in connection with the closing of the Loan shall be deemed acceptable to Lender). In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or fails to maintain the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Lender may purchase the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the cost actually 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 reimbursed by Borrower to Lender.

Page 40

(E)    In connection with the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender within twenty (20) Business Days following (x) the date upon which an Interest Rate Cap Agreement is required pursuant to Section 2.7(A) or (y) the first day of any applicable Extension Term, as applicable, an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be in-house counsel for the Acceptable Counterparty) for the Acceptable Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, that:

(i)    the Acceptable Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation 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 Acceptable Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Acceptable 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 Acceptable Counterparty of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Acceptable 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 Acceptable Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the Acceptable Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Acceptable Counterparty, enforceable against the Acceptable 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).

(F)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.7 or elsewhere in this Agreement, if, at any time, the Loan is converted from a Floating Interest Rate Loan to either a Prime Rate Loan or an Alternate Rate Loan or from a Prime Rate Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan in accordance with Section 2.2(D) above (each, a “Rate Conversion”), then:

(i)    within thirty (30) days after such Rate Conversion, Borrower shall either (A) enter into, make all payments under, and satisfy all conditions precedent to the effectiveness of, a Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement (and in connection therewith, but not prior to Borrower taking all the actions described in this clause (i), Borrower shall have the right to terminate any then-existing Interest Rate Cap Agreement) or (B) cause the then-existing Interest Rate Cap Agreement to be modified such that such then-existing Interest Rate Cap Agreement satisfies the requirements of a Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement as set forth below in the definition thereof (a “Converted Interest Rate Cap Agreement”); and

Page 41

(ii) on or after such Rate Conversion (provided Lender has not converted the Loan back to a Floating Interest Rate Loan in accordance with Section 2.2(D) hereof), in lieu of satisfying the condition described in Section 2.4(A)(iv) with respect to any outstanding Extension Term, Borrower shall instead enter into, make all payments under, and satisfy all conditions precedent to the effectiveness of a Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement on or prior to the first day of such Extension Term.

(G) As used herein, “Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement” shall mean an interest rate Cap Agreement between an Acceptable Counterparty and Borrower, obtained by Borrower and collaterally assigned to Lender pursuant to this Agreement and shall contain each of the following:

(i) a term expiring no earlier than through the end of the Interest Period associated with the then applicable Maturity Date;

(ii) the notional amount of the Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be equal to or greater than the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan;

(iii) it provides that the only obligation of Borrower thereunder is the making of a single payment to the Acceptable Counterparty thereunder upon the execution and delivery thereof;

(iv) it provides to Lender and Borrower (as determined by Lender in its sole but good faith discretion) for the term of the Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement, a hedge against rising interest rates that is no less beneficial to Borrower and Lender than (A) in the case of clause (F)(i) above, that which was provided by the Interest Rate Cap Agreement being replaced by the Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement and (B) in the case of clause (F)(ii) above, that which was intended to be provided by the Interest Rate Cap Agreement that, but for the operation of this Section 2.7(G), would have been required to have been delivered by Approved Counterparty pursuant to Section 2.4(A)(iv) below as a condition to the requested Extension Term; and

(v) without limiting any of the provisions of the preceding clauses (i) through (iv) above, it satisfies all of the requirements set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 2.7(A) hereof.

From and after the date of any Rate Conversion, all references to “Interest Rate Cap Agreement” and “Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement” herein (other than in the definition of “Interest Rate Cap Agreement”, the definition of “Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement” and as referenced in the first sentence of Section 2.7(A) hereof) shall be deemed to refer or relate, as applicable, to a Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement or a Converted Interest Rate Cap Agreement, as the case may be.

Section 2.8. Prepayment.

(A) Limitation on Prepayment and Voluntary Prepayment. Borrower shall have no right to prepay the Loan in whole or part at any time, except as expressly set forth herein. Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part on any Business Day only if all of the following conditions shall be satisfied:

(i) Borrower shall provide to Lender not less than thirty (30) and not more than ninety (90) days’ prior written notice of such prepayment specifying the date on which such prepayment will occur (it being agreed that such notice may be revoked by Borrower at any time prior to such prepayment);

Page 42

(ii) any such prepayment shall include, and Borrower shall pay to Lender, all interest then having accrued and remaining outstanding calculated at the Interest Rate for the applicable Component(s) being prepaid through and including the repayment date, together with an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued at the Interest Rate for the applicable Component(s) being prepaid through the end of the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs as if such prepayment had not occurred;

(iii) Borrower shall pay all Breakage Costs (if any), and all other sums then due under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents;

(iv) Borrower shall pay to Lender the Spread Maintenance Premium, if such prepayment is made prior to the Spread Maintenance Date; and

(v) if such prepayment is made during the period commencing on the first calendar day immediately following a Payment Date through and including the last day of the Interest Period ending in the calendar month in which such Payment Date occurs, Borrower also shall pay to Lender the amount of all interest that would have accrued on the amount of principal being prepaid from the first day of the Interest Period immediately following the Interest Period in which the prepayment occurs (the “Succeeding Interest Period”) through and including the end of the Succeeding Interest Period (the “Additional Interest”), calculated at (A) the Interest Rate for the applicable Component(s) being prepaid if such prepayment occurs on or after the Determination Date for the Succeeding Interest Period or (B) if such prepayment occurs before the Determination Date for the Succeeding Interest Period, an interest rate (the “Assumed Note Rate”) equal to the sum of 0.25% plus the Interest Rate as determined on the preceding Determination Date for the applicable Component(s) being prepaid), provided that if the Additional Interest was calculated based upon the Assumed Note Rate, upon determination of the Interest Rate on the Determination Date for the Succeeding Interest Period, (x) if the Interest Rate for such Succeeding Interest Period is less than the Assumed Note Rate, Lender shall promptly refund to Borrower a portion of the Additional Interest paid, calculated at a rate equal to the difference between the Assumed Note Rate and the Interest Rate for such Interest Period, or (y) if the Interest Rate is greater than the Assumed Note Rate, Borrower shall promptly (and in no event later than the ninth (9th) day of the following month) pay Lender the amount of such additional Additional Interest calculated at a rate equal to the rate by which the Interest Rate exceeds the Assumed Note Rate.

If, after giving notice of its intention to prepay, Borrower does not prepay the Loan in whole or in part in accordance herewith within thirty (30) days of the date specified in such notice or Borrower revokes such notice of prepayment, then such notice shall lapse, and Borrower shall thereafter have the right to give another notice of its intention to prepay; provided, that Borrower shall pay Lender all of the actual, reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) as a result of such failure to prepay, and any Breakage Costs. No principal amount repaid may be re-borrowed.

(B) Spread Maintenance Prepayment Premium Due Generally. If any prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan shall occur before the Spread Maintenance Date, whether such prepayment is voluntary, involuntary, on account of acceleration of the Loan (whether or not due to an Event of Default), or otherwise, then Borrower shall pay the Spread Maintenance Premium to Lender (as and to the extent provided in this Agreement) together with such prepayment, in addition to all other amounts due and owing to Lender as provided under this Agreement. This provision does not create any right to prepay the Loan in whole or part, whether or not the Spread Maintenance Premium is paid together therewith, at any time or in any circumstances where this Agreement does not expressly state that such a right exists.

Page 43

(C) Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds. To the extent that Lender requires that any Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds be applied to the Loan in accordance with Section 6.2 hereof, such application shall be made in accordance with Section 2.8(A) hereof, provided that (i) no notice of such prepayment shall be required of Borrower and (ii) no Spread Maintenance Premium will be due with respect to such prepayment so long as no Event of Default exists.

(D) Prepayments After Default. If, during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Obligations is tendered by Borrower and accepted by Lender or is otherwise recovered by Lender (including through application of any Reserve Funds), such tender or recovery shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment by Borrower and Borrower shall pay, as part of the Obligations, all of the following: (i) all interest then having accrued and remaining outstanding calculated at the Default Rate for the applicable Component(s) being prepaid through and including such repayment date together with an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued at the Interest Rate for the applicable Component(s) being prepaid through the end of the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs as if such prepayment had not occurred; (ii) the Additional Interest, if applicable, with respect to the amount prepaid; (iii) Breakage Costs, if any; and (iv) an amount equal to the Spread Maintenance Premium (if made before the Spread Maintenance Date). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during the continuance of any Event of Default, any payment of principal, interest or other amounts from whatever source may be applied by Lender among the Note, Components and other Obligations in Lender’s sole discretion.

(E) Application of Prepayments. Provided no Event of Default is continuing, any voluntary or mandatary prepayment of principal (or portion thereof) shall be applied by Lender pro rata and pari passu between Note A-1 and Note A-2. If the Loan has been divided into two or more Components, so long as no Event of Default exists, any voluntary or mandatory prepayment of principal (or portion thereof) shall be applied among the Components in the order of priority set forth in the Componentization Notice, which applications among Components may result in “rate creep”. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during the continuance of any Event of Default, any payment of principal, interest or other amounts from whatever source may be applied by Lender among the Note, Components and other Obligations in Lender’s sole discretion.

(F) Mezzanine Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, in no event shall Borrower permit Mezzanine Borrower or any other Person to prepay (which shall include, without limitation, any prepayment in connection with any acceleration of any Mezzanine Loan) the Mezzanine Loan, in whole or in part, unless there is a simultaneous pro rata prepayment of the Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8(A).

Section 2.9. Outstanding Balance. The balance on Lender’s books and records shall be presumptive evidence (absent manifest error) of the amounts owing to Lender by Borrower; provided that any failure to record any transaction affecting such balance or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect Borrower’s obligation to pay the Obligations.

Section 2.10. Taxes.

(A) Gross-Up. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any and all Taxes. If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Co-Lender, then (i) if such Tax is an Indemnifiable Tax, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this

Page 44

Section 2.10), such Co-Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings, (iii) such Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) Borrower shall furnish to such Co-Lender the original copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority (or upon notification by Borrower to such Co-Lender that a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority is not available, such other evidence as is requested and is reasonably satisfactory to such Co-Lender) evidencing payment thereof as soon as practicable, but in any event no more than ten (10) days after such payment is made.

(B) Other Taxes. In addition, the Loan Parties hereby agree to timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(C) Indemnification. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Co-Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnifiable Taxes payable or paid by such Co-Lender, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Co-Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnifiable 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 such Co-Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. As soon as practicable, but in any event no more than ten (10) days after any payment of Indemnifiable Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party to any Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to each Co-Lender 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 such Co-Lender.

(D) Tax Certificates. (i) Any Co-Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Co-Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Borrower to determine whether or not such Co-Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (D)(ii)(a), (ii)(b) and (ii)(d) of this Section) shall not be required if in the Co-Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Co-Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Co-Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,

Page 45

(1) in the case of a Foreign Co-Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Co-Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the IRC, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to the effect that such Foreign Co-Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the IRC, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Co-Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit D-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Co-Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Co-Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Co-Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

Page 46

Each Co-Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(E) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (E) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (E), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (E) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(F) Change in Law. (i) If any Change in Law shall:

(a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Co-Lender;

(b) subject any Co-Lender to any Taxes (other than (1) Indemnifiable Taxes, (2) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (3) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

Page 47

(c) impose on any Co-Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Co-Lender or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Co-Lender of making, continuing or maintaining any Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Co-Lender in connection with the Loan (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Co-Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Co-Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Co-Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered as a consequence of this Agreement.

(ii) If any Co-Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Co-Lender or any lending office of such Co-Lender or such Co-Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Co-Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Co-Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, to a level below that which such Co-Lender or such Co-Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Co-Lender’s policies and the policies of such Co-Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Co-Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Co-Lender or such Co-Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered as a consequence of this Agreement.

(iii) A certificate of a Co-Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Co-Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (i) or (ii) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Co-Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(iv) Failure or delay on the part of any Co-Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Co-Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Co-Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Co-Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Co-Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof), and a Co-Lender shall not require any such compensation from Borrower hereunder unless Lender is requiring same from similar situated fixed rate commercial real estate borrowers.

(G) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, any Co-Lender, the payment of the Loan, the release of any Security Instrument and the Liens created under the Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 2.11. Funding of the Loan on the Closing Date; Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall be effective only upon the funding of the Loan by Lender on the Closing Date.

Section 2.12. Reasonableness of Charges. Borrower agrees that (i) the actual costs and damages that Lender would suffer by reason of an Event of Default (exclusive of the attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in connection with enforcement of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents) or a prepayment would be difficult and needlessly expensive to calculate and establish, and (ii) the amounts of the Default Rate, the late charges, and the Spread Maintenance Premium are reasonable, taking into consideration the circumstances known to the parties at this time, and (iii) such Default Rate, late charges,

Page 48

Spread Maintenance Premium and Lender’s attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with enforcement of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents shall be due and payable as provided herein, and (iv) such Default Rate, late charges, Spread Maintenance Premium, and the obligation to pay Lender’s attorneys’ fees and other enforcement costs do not, individually or collectively, constitute a penalty.

Section 2.13. Release of Individual Properties. Subject to satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth below with respect to any Individual Property (the “Release Conditions”), Lender shall, upon request from Borrower, release such Individual Property (each a “Release Property”) from the Lien of the applicable Security Instrument and related Loan Documents (each release under this Section 2.13, a “Property Release”):

(A) Borrower shall deliver a written notice (a “Property Release Notice”) to Lender of its desire to effect such Property Release no later than thirty (30) days prior to the date of such desired Property Release, and setting forth the Business Day (the “Release Date”) on which Borrower desires that Lender release its interest in such Release Property, which Business Day need not be a Monthly Payment Date;

(B) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date on which Borrower delivers the Property Release Notice or on the Release Date;

(C) Borrower prepays the Loan in the amount of the applicable Release Amount and pays to Lender all other amounts required pursuant to Section 2.8(A);

(D) after giving effect to such Property Release (and all prior Property Releases, if any), (i) the Debt Yield, as of the Release Date for all of the Individual Properties then remaining subject to the Liens of the Security Interests, shall not be less than the greater of (a) the “Closing Date Debt Yield” identified in the Information Schedule and (b) the Debt Yield immediately prior to such Property Release;

(E) the Release Property is simultaneously transferred pursuant to an all-cash (as to Borrower) sale on arms-length terms and conditions to either (i) a third party Person that is not an Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor or (ii) to an Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor;

(F)Borrower executes and delivers such other instruments, certificates, opinions of counsel and documentation as Lender and, after a Securitization, the Rating Agencies shall reasonably request in writing in order to preserve, confirm or secure the Liens and security granted to Lender by the Loan Documents, including any amendments, modifications or supplements to any of the Loan Documents, and, if the applicable Title Policy includes one or more Individual Properties other than the Release Property, any endorsements to the applicable Title Policy reasonably required by Lender that are customary for property releases in the state in which the Release Property is located;

(G) following such Property Release, each remaining Individual Borrower shall continue to be a SPE Bankruptcy Remote Entity and comply with all provisions of the Loan Documents pertaining to a SPE Bankruptcy Remote Entity in all material respects, taking into account such Property Release, and Borrower shall have delivered to Lender an Additional Insolvency Opinion upon written request of Lender if Lender reasonably determines that such Property Release results in a change in the required “pairings” analyzed in the Insolvency Opinion delivered in connection with the Loan;

(H) If such Release Property is managed under the Management Agreement that also pertains to any other Individual Property, Borrower shall (i) to the extent required under any Management

Page 49

Agreement, enter into an acknowledgement of such Property Release with the applicable Property Manager, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, in order to cause such Release Property to be removed from the such Management Agreement, and Borrower shall pay all amounts and satisfy all other conditions under such Management Agreement to effect such removal, and (ii) deliver to Lender a written confirmation from the applicable Property Manager, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, that all such amounts have been paid or provided for and all such other conditions have been satisfied;

(I) in connection with any Property Release under this Section 2.13, in the event that such release would result in the release of all Individual Properties held by an Individual Borrower (each an “Unencumbered Borrower”), (i) such Unencumbered Borrower shall be released by Lender from the obligations of the Loan Documents, except with respect to those obligations that are expressly provided herein to survive repayment of the Loan, and (ii) Borrower, Guarantor and Lender shall enter into such modifications and reaffirmations of the Loan Documents as may be reasonably required by Lender to evidence the release of each Unencumbered Borrower from its obligations under the Loan Documents and reaffirmation thereof by the remaining Individual Borrowers and Guarantor;

(J) if the Individual Borrower that has executed the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement is the Unencumbered Borrower, such Unencumbered Borrower shall have assigned all of its right title and interest in and to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement to another Individual Borrower that owns one or more Individual Properties that will remain subject to the Liens of the Security Instruments after such Property Release (such Individual Borrower, the “Assigned Individual Borrower”). In connection with (and as a condition precedent to) such assignment, Borrower shall amend the existing Assignment of Cap (and, if applicable, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement) or deliver to Lender a replacement Assignment of Cap (in each case, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender) and obtain the execution and delivery of the Counterparty to such amendment or replacement Assignment of Cap, which shall change the account to which payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement are to be made by the Counterparty thereunder to the Clearing Account of the Assigned Individual Borrower;

(K) (i) such Property Release shall be subject to Section 13.9, (ii) such Property Release shall otherwise be permitted under the REMIC Requirements in effect as of (A) the date on which the applicable Property Release Notice is given and (B) the date on which such Property Release shall occur, and (iii) if required by Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a REMIC Opinion with respect to such Property Release;

(L) if the Mezzanine Loan is outstanding, concurrently with the consummation of the Property Release, Mezzanine Borrower shall have consummated a Mezzanine Property Release with respect to such Release Property in accordance with the terms of the Mezzanine Loan Agreement and Borrower shall have delivered, or cause to be delivered, to Lender evidence thereof reasonably satisfactory to Lender; and

(M) Borrower shall have paid (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by Lender and/or its Servicer in connection with such Property Release, (ii) all recording, transfer, filing fees, taxes and other third-party expenses payable in connection with the Property Release, (iii) all costs and expenses of any Rating Agencies, and (iv) the current reasonable and customary fee being assessed by Lender and/or its Servicer to effect such Property Release.

ARTICLE III

CASH MANAGEMENT

Section 3.1. Clearing Account.

(A) Each Individual Borrower shall establish and maintain a segregated Eligible Account (each, a “Clearing Account” and collectively, the “Clearing Accounts”) with the Clearing Bank in trust for the benefit of Lender, which Clearing Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender. Each Clearing Account shall be entitled in the name of each Individual Borrower, as pledgor, for the sole and exclusive benefit of Lender, as secured party, or such other name as reasonably required by Lender from time to time. Borrower (i) hereby grants to Lender a first priority security interest in the Clearing Accounts and all deposits at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof, and (ii) will take all actions necessary to maintain in favor of Lender a perfected first priority security interest in the Clearing Accounts, including, without limitation, the execution of any account control agreements required by Lender. Borrower will not in any way alter, modify or close any Clearing Accounts and will notify Lender of the account numbers thereof. All costs and expenses of the Clearing Bank for establishing and maintaining the Clearing Accounts shall be paid by Borrower. All monies now or hereafter deposited into the Clearing Accounts shall be deemed additional security for the Obligations.

(B) Borrower shall, and shall cause Property Manager to, deposit into the applicable Clearing Account within three (3) Business Days after receipt all amounts received by Borrower or Property Manager constituting Rents or other Receipts for each applicable Individual Property, including without limitation Borrower’s TIR Share of Tenant Insurance Revenue, and, for the avoidance of doubt, Borrower shall not be obligated to, nor shall it be obligated to cause Property Manager to, deposit any Excluded Tenant Insurance Revenue into the Clearing Account. On or before the Closing Date, Borrower shall have sent (and hereby represents that it has sent) notices (each such notice, a “Credit Card Direction Notice”) to each of the credit card companies or credit card clearing banks with which any Individual Borrower or Property Manager has entered into merchant’s or other credit card agreements (any such agreement, a “Credit Card Agreement”) directing them to pay by wire transfer or the ACH System to the applicable Clearing Account all payments which would otherwise be paid to such Individual Borrower or Property Manager under the applicable Credit Card Agreements until such time as the Obligations have been repaid in full in accordance with the terms hereof. Simultaneously with the execution of any Credit Card Agreement entered into on or after the date hereof in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions hereof, Borrower shall furnish each credit card company or credit card clearing bank party to each such Credit Card Agreement a Credit Card Direction Notice. The Clearing Account Agreement and Clearing Accounts shall remain in effect until the Loan has been repaid in full.

(C) So long as no Cash Management Period exists, all available amounts on deposit in the Clearing Accounts shall be disbursed to the applicable Individual Borrower in immediately available funds by Federal wire transfer once every Business Day. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Cash Management Period, Borrower shall (and Lender may) cause the Clearing Bank to transfer to the Cash Management Account in immediately available funds by Federal wire transfer all amounts on deposit in the Clearing Accounts once every Business Day.

(D) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, direct Clearing Bank to immediately pay over all funds on deposit in the Clearing Accounts to Lender and to apply any such funds to the payment of the Obligations in any order in its sole discretion.

Page 51

(E) Funds deposited into the Clearing Accounts shall not be commingled with other monies held by Borrower or Property Manager.

(F) Borrower shall not further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Clearing Account or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 financing statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.

(G) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Clearing Accounts, the Clearing Account Agreement or the performance of the obligations for which the Clearing Accounts were established (unless arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender).

Section 3.2. Cash Management Accounts.

(A) Cash Management Account. Not later than ten (10) Business Days following delivery by Lender of written notice to Borrower indicating that a Cash Management Period exists, Lender shall establish and maintain a segregated Eligible Account (the “Cash Management Account”) with the Deposit Bank in trust for the benefit of Lender, which Cash Management Account shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of and under the sole dominion and control of Lender. The Cash Management Account shall be entitled in the name of Borrower, as pledgor, for the sole and exclusive benefit of Lender, as secured party, or such other name as required by Lender from time to time. Lender will also establish subaccounts of the Cash Management Account which shall at all times be Eligible Accounts (and may be ledger or book entry accounts and not actual accounts) (such subaccounts are referred to herein as “Subaccounts”). Borrower (i) hereby grants to Lender a first priority security interest in the Cash Management Account and the Subaccounts and all deposits at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof, and (ii) will take all actions necessary to maintain in favor of Lender a perfected first priority security interest in the Cash Management Account and the Subaccounts, including, without limitation, the execution of any account control agreement required by Lender. Borrower will not in any way alter, modify or close the Cash Management Account and will notify Lender of the account number thereof. Lender and Servicer shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from the Cash Management Account and the Subaccounts in accordance with this Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement. All costs and expenses of the Deposit Bank for establishing and maintaining the Cash Management Account and the Subaccounts shall be paid by Borrower. All monies now or hereafter deposited into the Cash Management Account and the Subaccounts shall be deemed additional security for the Obligations.

(B) Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and subject to Section 3.2(D), after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Management Period, on each Payment Date (or, if such Payment Date is not a Business Day, on the immediately succeeding Business Day) all funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall be applied by Lender (or by Deposit Bank at Lender’s direction) to the payment of the following items in the order indicated:

(i) First, payment to Lender (for deposit in the Taxes and Insurance Reserve) in respect of the applicable amount required to be deposited in the Taxes and Insurance Reserve in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 8.1 hereof;

(ii) Second, to the extent the Cash Management Account contains any Excluded Tenant Insurance Revenue (notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 3.1.(B)), payment to Borrower in

Page 52

an amount equal to the Excluded Tenant Insurance Revenue then contained in the Cash Management Account (each such disbursement for Excluded Tenant Insurance Revenue under this Section 3.2, an “Excluded TIR Disbursement”), subject to satisfaction of the following conditions to disbursement (the “TIR Disbursement Conditions”): Borrower certifies in writing to Lender, not less than two (2) Business Days prior to each such Excluded TIR Disbursement, (i) the amount of the Excluded TIR Disbursement, the Excluded Tenant Insurance Revenue and Tenant Protection Plan Net Revenue for the applicable Individual Properties to which such Excluded TIR Disbursement relates, (ii) that the Excluded Tenant Insurance Revenue to which the Excluded TIR Disbursement relates has been deposited into the Cash Management Account, and the Excluded TIR Disbursement does not include amounts previously paid or disbursed on account of Excluded Tenant Insurance Revenue, and (iii) that the calculations of the Excluded TIR Disbursement, Excluded Tenant Insurance Revenue and Tenant Protection Plan Revenue are true and correct in all material respects;

(iii) Third, payment to Deposit Bank of the fees and expenses of Deposit Bank then due and payable pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement;

deposit in the Cash Management Account shall be disbursed by Lender (or by Deposit Bank at Lender’s direction) to Borrower for Excluded TIR Disbursements, subject to satisfaction of the TIR Disbursement Conditions.

(C) The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall not relieve Borrower of the obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.

(D) Notwithstanding this Section 3.2, following the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, all funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account may be applied by Lender in such order and priority as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion until the Obligations have been paid in full.

Section 3.3. Payments Received Under the Cash Management Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower’s obligations with respect to the payment of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount and amounts required to be deposited into the Reserves shall be deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient amounts are deposited in the Cash Management Account to satisfy such obligations on the dates each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by Lender, so long as Lender’s access to such sums was not restricted or constrained in any manner.

Section 3.4. Payments on Behalf of Borrower. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, as to any clause or provision contained in this Section 3 or any other allocation, application or disbursement of cash or any other payments under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or otherwise relating to payments made to Mezzanine Lender or applied to the Mezzanine Loan, notwithstanding the fact that such payments may be sent directly from the Cash Management Account to any Mezzanine Account in accordance with Section 3.2 above, any such payment shall be deemed to constitute a distribution by the applicable Individual Borrowers to the Mezzanine Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the organizational documents of such Individual Borrowers, Mezzanine Borrower and applicable law and simultaneous payment by the Mezzanine Borrower to the Mezzanine Lender. Any such payment is intended by the parties to constitute, and shall constitute, a distribution from the applicable Individual Borrowers to Mezzanine Borrower and shall be treated as such on the books and records of each party. No such payment is intended or shall be construed as meaning that any Individual Borrower is acting on behalf of, holding out its credit for, or paying the obligations of, Mezzanine Borrower, directly or in any other manner that would violate any of the single purpose entity covenants contained in this Agreement or other similar covenants contained in such Individual Borrower’s organizational documents or Mezzanine Borrower’s organizational documents, respectively.

The execution, delivery and performance by each of Borrower and Guarantor of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not require, to Borrower’s knowledge, any registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to, with or by, any federal, state or other governmental authority or regulatory body, except for the recording of the Security Instruments and filings and recordings required in connection with the creation or perfection of any other security interests with respect to the Collateral granted under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

Page 55

having executed the same, enforceable against Borrower and Guarantor, as applicable, in accordance with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other similar laws affecting creditor’s rights generally. Neither Borrower nor Guarantor has any defense, counterclaim, rescission, or offset to any of its obligations under the Loan Documents. Neither Borrower nor Guarantor has any claim against Lender or any Affiliate of Lender.

Section 4.3.    Financial Information.

(A)    Financial Statements. All financial data, including, without limitation, the financial statements, balance sheets, statements of cash flow, and statements of income and operating expense concerning Borrower or Guarantor or the Property that have been furnished to Lender in connection with this transaction (i) have been or will be prepared in accordance with GAAP (or in accordance with tax accounting principles, if therein specified), consistently applied (except as disclosed therein), (ii) are (or will be as to those statements that are not yet due) true, complete and correct in all material respects and (iii) do (or will, as to those statements that are not yet due) present fairly and accurately the financial condition of the Persons covered thereby as at the dates thereof and the results of their operations for the periods then ended. Since the date of the most recent financial statements of Borrower, Guarantor and the Property delivered to Lender, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower or Guarantor or the Property from that set forth in said financial statements. Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to it and reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements.

(B)    Disclosure. No financial statements, Loan Document or any other document, certificate or written statement furnished to Lender by Borrower or Guarantor and, to the knowledge of Borrower or Guarantor, no document or statement furnished by any third party on behalf of Borrower or Guarantor, for use in connection with the Loan contains any untrue representation, warranty or statement of a material fact, and none omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of the Closing Date, there has been no material adverse change in any condition, fact, circumstance or event that would make any such information inaccurate, incomplete or otherwise misleading in any material respect or that otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no material fact known to Borrower that has had or will have a Material Adverse Effect and that has not been disclosed in writing to Lender by Borrower.

(C)    Solvency. Neither Borrower nor Guarantor has entered into the transaction or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and each of Borrower and Guarantor has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the fair market value 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 Indebtedness. The fair market value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its Indebtedness as any such Indebtedness that is contingent becomes absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not constitute and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out Borrower’s business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur Indebtedness and liabilities beyond its ability to pay such Indebtedness 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).

Page 56

Section 4.4.    Indebtedness. No Individual Borrower shall have any Indebtedness except for the Permitted Indebtedness.

Section 4.5.    Title to Property. Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the Property, free and clear of all Liens except for the Permitted Encumbrances. Borrower owns and will own at all times all furnishings, fixtures, equipment, and personal property used in connection with the Property other than personal property which is leased by Borrower or owned or leased by tenants of the Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and to the replacement of obsolete personal property on each Property. There are no pending proceedings in condemnation or eminent domain affecting any Individual Property, and to the knowledge of Borrower none is threatened. No Person has any option, right of refusal, or other right to purchase all or any portion of any Individual Property or any interest therein, except as set forth in Schedule 4.5. There are no mechanic’s, materialman’s or other similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or materials affecting any Individual Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the Security Instrument (and, to Borrower’s knowledge, no rights are outstanding that under applicable Legal Requirements could give rise to any such liens). None of the Permitted Encumbrances, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely (i) affect the value of any Individual Property, (ii) impair the use or operations of any Individual Property or (iii) impair Borrower’s ability to pay its obligations in a timely manner.

Section 4.6.    Zoning; Compliance with Laws. Except as set forth in the Zoning Report, (i) the zoning for each Individual Property is consistent in all material respects with its current use (or such use constitutes a legal nonconforming use), (ii) each Individual Property contains sufficient parking spaces to satisfy all requirements in all material respects imposed by applicable Legal Requirements with respect to parking, (iii) no legal proceedings are pending or threatened in writing with respect to the compliance of the Property with the Legal Requirements. To Borrower’s knowledge, neither the zoning compliance nor any other right to use or operate each Individual Property is in any way dependent upon or related to any real estate other than such Individual Property and validly created, existing appurtenant perpetual easements insured in the applicable Title Policy. Except as set forth in the Zoning Report, to Borrower’s knowledge, if all or any part of the Improvements located on each Individual Property are destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without violating any zoning or other Legal Requirements applicable thereto and without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special permits, other than customary demolition, building and other construction related permits. To Borrower’s knowledge, no legal proceedings are pending or threatened in writing with respect to the zoning of the Property. Except as set forth in the Zoning Report. each Individual Property and the intended use thereof comply in all material respects with all Legal Requirements, including all applicable zoning, subdivision, parking laws, applicable land use laws, regulations and ordinances, all applicable health, fire, building codes and all other laws, statutes, codes, ordinances, rules and regulations applicable to such Individual Property, including without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act. To Borrower’s knowledge, no portion of the Property has been by any Individual Borrower purchased, improved, equipped, fixtured or furnished with proceeds of any criminal or other illegal activity and to Borrower’s knowledge there are no illegal activities relating to controlled substances on any Individual Property. Except as set forth in the Zoning Report, all material permits, licenses and certificates for the construction, lawful use and operation of each Individual Property have been obtained or will be obtained as and when required by law, and those obtained as of the date hereof are current and in full force and effect, and to Borrower’s knowledge there is no default in any material respect thereunder by any party thereto and no event has occurred that, with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice would constitute a default thereunder.

Page 57

Section 4.7.    Leases; Agreements.

(A)    Material Agreements. Borrower has provided Lender with true and complete copies of all Material Contracts pertaining to the Property, including, the existing Management Agreement. Each Material Contract is in full force and effect in all material respects. Neither Borrower nor Guarantor is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any Contractual Obligation of any such Person which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and to Borrower’s knowledge, no condition exists that, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default. Except as contemplated by the existing Management Agreement, no Person has any right or obligation to manage the Property or to receive compensation in connection with such management. Except for the Loan Documents, none of the Borrower Parties is a party to or bound by, nor is any property of such Person subject to or bound by, any contract or other agreement which restricts such Person’s ability to conduct its business in the ordinary course or has a Material Adverse Effect or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which it is bound that would require the subordination in right of payment of any of its obligations hereunder or under the Note to an obligation owed to another Person.

(B)    Closing Rent Roll, Disclosure. A true and correct copy of the rent roll (the “Closing Rent Roll”) for the Property as of January 18, 2019 is attached hereto as Schedule 4.7(B). The Closing Rent Roll constitutes a true, correct, and complete in all material respects list of each and every Lease, and accurately and completely discloses in all material respects all annual and monthly rents payable by all Tenants under Leases. In all material respects, except only as specified in the Closing Rent Roll, (i) the Leases are in full force and effect; (ii) no Individual Borrower is in default under any Lease and, to Borrower’s knowledge, no Tenant under any Lease is in default under its Lease; (iii) to Borrower’s knowledge, no Tenant has any set-off, claim against the landlord, or defense to the enforcement of any Lease; and (iv) no Tenant is past due more than one month in the payment of rent, additional rent or any other material charges due under any Lease.

(C)    Lease Issues. There are no material legal proceedings commenced (or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in writing) against any Individual Borrower by any Tenant or former Tenant under a Material Lease. No Individual Borrower has received any written lease termination notices or lease extension notices from any Tenant under a Material Lease, nor any written notice that any Tenant under a Material Lease is a debtor in a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.    Each of the Material Leases is valid and binding on Borrower and, to Borrower’s knowledge, such other parties thereto in accordance with its terms. The execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will not constitute an event of default under any of the Leases.

Except as described in the Property Condition Report or Environmental Report, to Borrower’s knowledge, all Improvements are in good condition and repair, free from damage caused by fire or other casualty, and Borrower is not aware of any latent or patent structural or other material defect or deficiency in any Individual Property, including, without limitation, all buildings, improvements, parking facilities, sidewalks, storm drainage systems, roofs, plumbing systems, HVAC systems, fire protection systems, electrical systems, equipment, elevators, exterior sidings and doors, landscaping, irrigation systems and all structural components (ordinary wear and tear excepted).

Borrower has not received written notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defects or inadequacies in the Property in any material respect, or any part thereof, which have not been cured and which would materially adversely affect the insurability of the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or of any termination or threatened termination of any policy of insurance or bond.

Except as set forth on Schedule 4.9, there are no judgments outstanding against any Borrower Party or creating any Lien affecting any property of any Borrower Party, nor is there any action, charge, claim, demand, suit, proceeding, petition, governmental investigation, Environmental Claims (as defined in the Environmental Indemnity) or arbitration now pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened in writing against any Borrower Party or affecting any Individual Property. No Borrower Party is a party to any lawsuit, arbitration or similar proceeding that, if determined adversely to such party, would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.10.    No Bankruptcy or Criminal Proceedings. No bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or comparable proceedings or assignment for benefit of creditors has ever been instituted by or against any Borrower, and no such proceeding or assignment is now pending. Without limitation, no Borrower Party is a debtor, and no property of any of them (including any Individual Property) is property of the estate in any voluntary or involuntary case under the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law; and no Borrower Party and no property of any of them is under the possession or control of a receiver, trustee or other custodian. No Borrower Party or any Person described in this Section has been charged, indicted or convicted, or to Borrower’s knowledge are currently under the threat of charge, indictment or conviction, for any felony. To Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower has not committed any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture as against any Individual Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instruments or the other Loan Documents.

Section 4.11.    Payment of Taxes.

In addition to the representations set forth in this Agreement pertaining to compliance with specific laws or specific areas of law, Borrower represents that no Individual Borrower is in violation of any Legal Requirements, which violation or non-compliance would subject any Individual Borrower to criminal liability or would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or together with all such other violations and non-compliance, a Material Adverse Effect, and no such violation has been alleged by any such government, instrumentality or agency.

With respect to each Property Document, Borrower hereby represents that, to Borrower’s knowledge, (a) there are no material uncured defaults under such Property Document by any Individual Borrower or to Borrower’s knowledge any other party thereto, and no event has occurred which, but for the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a material default under any such Property Document, that would have a Material Adverse Effect, and (b) no party to any Property Document has commenced any action or given or received any notice for the purpose of terminating such Property Document such that such termination would have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower agrees that all of the representations and warranties of Borrower set forth in this Article IV and elsewhere in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall survive for so long as any portion of the Loan remains owing to Lender.

Guarantor’s annual financial statements shall be accompanied by an Authorized Officer’s Certificate of Guarantor certifying that each annual financial statement fairly presents the financial condition and the results of operations of Guarantor and its property, and that such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(E)    Borrower shall furnish as soon as available and in any event not later than forty-five (45) days after the commencement of each Fiscal Year during which any of the Obligations shall be outstanding:

(i)    a reasonably detailed operating budget for each Individual Property, covering such Fiscal Year, which operating budget shall be presented on a monthly basis. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Management Period, each such operating budget so submitted shall be subject to review and approval by Lender. Lender’s approval of any proposed operating budget submitted as above provided shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (each such operating budget, when so approved being herein referred to individually and collectively with all other operating budgets so approved, as an “Approved Operating Budget”). If as of the beginning of any calendar year (that is during the continuance of a Cash Management Period) any operating budget for such year has not been agreed to as provided above, Borrower shall cause each Individual Property to be operated in accordance with the Approved Operating Budget applicable during the immediately preceding year, except (A) to the extent Lender has approved particular Operating Expenses in the proposed operating budget, in which event Borrower shall have the right to permit such approved Operating Expenses to be incurred and paid and (B) such Approved Operating Budget shall be deemed adjusted to reflect actual increases in Taxes, Insurance Premiums and utilities expenses.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Management Period, each such capital expenditures budget so submitted shall be subject to review and approval by Lender. Lender’s approval of any proposed capital expenditures budget submitted as above provided shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (each such capital expenditures budget, when so approved being herein referred to individually and collectively with all other capital expenditures budgets so approved, as an “Approved Capital Expenditures Budget”). If as of the beginning of any calendar year (that is during the continuance of a Cash Management Period) any capital expenditures budget for such year has not been agreed to as provided above, Borrower shall cause each Individual Property to be operated in accordance with the Approved Capital Expenditures Budget applicable during the immediately preceding year, except to the extent Lender has approved particular Capital Expenditures in the proposed capital expenditures budget, in which event Borrower shall have the right to permit such approved Capital Expenditures to be incurred and paid. The Approved Operating Budget and the Approved Capital Expenditures Budget is referred to from time to time as the “Approved Annual Budget”.

Page 64

(F)    In the event that Borrower must incur an extraordinary Operating Expense or Capital Expenditure not set forth in the Approved Annual Budget, as applicable (each an “Extraordinary Expense” and if approved by Lender, an “Approved Extraordinary Expense”), then, during a Cash Management Period, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a reasonably detailed explanation of such proposed Extraordinary Expense for Lender’s approval, which such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(G)    If, at the time a Disclosure Document is being prepared for a Securitization, Lender expects that Borrower alone or Borrower and one or more Affiliates of Borrower collectively, or the Property alone or the Property and Related Properties collectively, will be a Significant Obligor, Borrower shall furnish to Lender upon request (i) the selected financial data or, if applicable, Net Operating Income for Borrower and the Property for the most recent fiscal year and interim period (or such longer period as may be required by Regulation S-K if the Loan is not treated as a non-recourse loan under Instruction 3 for Item 1101(k) of Regulation AB) meeting the requirements and covering the time periods specified in Section 301 of Regulation S-K and Item 1112 of Regulation AB, in each case as and to the extent such data is required with respect to Borrower thereunder, and (ii) the financial statements required under Item 1112(b)(2) of Regulation AB, , in each case as and to the extent such data is required with respect to Borrower thereunder. Such financial data or financial statements shall be furnished to Lender (A) within ten (10) Business Days after notice from Lender in connection with the preparation of Disclosure Documents for the Securitization, (B) not later than thirty (30) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Borrower and (C) not later than seventy-five (75) days after the end of each fiscal year of Borrower; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to furnish financial data or financial statements pursuant to clauses (B) or (C) of this sentence with respect to any period for which a filing pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with or relating to the Securitization (an “Exchange Act Filing”) is not required. All financial data and financial statements provided by Borrower hereunder shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, and shall meet the requirements of Regulation S-K or Regulation S-X, as applicable, Regulation AB and other applicable legal requirements. All annual financial statements referred to in this Section 5.1(G) hereof shall be audited by an Approved Accounting Firm or other independent accountants of Borrower reasonably acceptable to Lender in accordance with Regulation AB, Regulation S-K or Regulation S-X, as applicable, and all other applicable legal requirements, shall be accompanied by the manually executed report of the independent accountants thereon, which report shall meet the requirements of Regulation S-K or Regulation S-X, as applicable, Regulation AB and all other applicable legal requirements, and shall be further accompanied by a manually executed written consent of the independent accountants, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, to the inclusion of such financial statements in any Disclosure Document and any Exchange Act Filing and to the use of the name of such independent accountants and the reference to such independent accountants as “experts” in any Disclosure Document and Exchange Act Filing, all of which shall be provided at the same time as the related financial statements are required to be provided. All financial data and financial statements (audited or unaudited) provided by Borrower under this Section 5.1(G) shall be accompanied by an Authorized Officer’s Certificate, which certification shall state that such financial statements meet the requirements set forth in this Section 5.1(G) in all material respects. If reasonably requested by Lender, each Individual Borrower shall provide Lender, promptly upon request, with any other or additional financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating information in Borrower’s possession, as Lender shall reasonably determine to be required pursuant to Regulation S-K or Regulation S-X, as applicable, or Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto in connection with any Disclosure Document or any Exchange Act filing in connection with or relating to a Securitization. In the event Lender reasonably determines, in connection with a Securitization, that the financial data and financial statements required in order to comply with Regulation S-K or Regulation S-X, as applicable, or Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto are other than as provided herein, then notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.1(G), Lender may request, and Borrower shall promptly provide, at Lender’s sole cost, such other financial data and financial statements in Borrower’s possession or reasonably obtainable by Borrower as Lender reasonably determines to be necessary for such compliance.

Page 65

(H)    If requested by Lender (which request shall be limited to one time per year unless an Event of Default exists), Borrower shall provide Lender, promptly upon request, a list of Tenants (including all affiliates of such Tenants) that in the aggregate occupy 10% or more of the total floor area of the Improvements of any Individual Property or the Property, in the aggregate, or represent 10% or more of aggregate base rent from any Individual Property or the Property, in the aggregate.

(I)    Any reports, statements or other information required to be delivered under this Agreement (collectively, “Financial Statements”) shall be provided to Lender in a form reasonably acceptable to Lender, and shall be delivered electronically unless Lender requests that the same be delivered in paper form (provided that the form in which the financial statements delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan prior to the date hereof shall be deemed satisfactory to Lender). Borrower agrees that Lender may disclose information regarding the Property and Borrower that is provided to Lender pursuant to this Agreement in connection with any Securitization to such parties requesting such information in connection with such Securitization.

(J)    Borrower shall furnish to Lender, within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s, or, if all or part of the Loan is being or has been included in a Securitization, by the Rating Agencies, written request, such reasonable additional information as may be reasonably requested with respect to the Property and each Individual Borrower.

(B)    GAAP. Borrower Parties that are entities will maintain systems of accounting established and administered in accordance with sound business practices and sufficient in all material respects to permit preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP.

(A)    Borrower will obtain and cause to be maintained, the insurance policies for each Borrower and each Individual Property described in Schedule 6.1 in such amounts and for such periods as Lender shall require.

(B)    All insurance provided for in this Article shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), in such forms, amounts, coverages, deductibles, loss payees and insureds, in each case, as may be satisfactory to Lender, issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the state in which the applicable Individual Property is located and approved by Lender.

Not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender pursuant to Subsection 7.1(a), Borrower shall deliver complete copies of the Policies marked “premium paid” or accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), provided, however, that in the case of renewal Policies, Borrower may furnish Lender with binders and Acord Form 28 Certificates therefor to be followed by the original Policies when issued. At least once per calendar year, Borrower shall provide Lender with updated flood zone certifications for the Property (in form and substance acceptable to Lender), which such flood zone certifications shall be delivered to Lender upon the earlier to occur of (i) December 1 of each calendar year or (ii) the renewal of the applicable Policy providing flood insurance coverage during the applicable calendar year.

Page 67

(C)    All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by this Section 6.1 and Schedule 6.1 shall name Borrower as the insured and, in the case of liability Policies (except for the Policies referenced in clauses (v) and (x) of Schedule 6.1) shall name Lender as an additional insured, as their respective interests may appear, and, in the case of property damage Policies (including, but not limited to, terrorism, rent loss, business interruption, boiler and machinery, earthquake and flood insurance), such Policies shall contain a standard noncontributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.

(D)    Each Policy referred to in clauses (i), (iii), (iv), (vi) and (viii) of Schedule 6.1 shall contain standard non-contributory mortgagee clauses in favor of and acceptable to Lender. All Policies of insurance provided for in Schedule 6.1 shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that: (i) with respect to the property policies, (1) the following shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the Policy insofar as Lender is concerned: (A) any act or negligence of Borrower, or of any other Person named as an insured, (B) any foreclosure or other similar exercise of remedies and (C) the failure to comply with the provisions of the Policy which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, (2) the property policies shall not be cancelled without at least 30 days’ written notice to Lender, except ten (10) days’ notice for non-payment of premium and (3) the issuer(s) of the policies shall give written notice to Lender if the issuers elect not to renew the policies prior to its expiration; (ii) any loss otherwise payable thereunder shall be payable notwithstanding the occupation or use of any of the Property for purposes more hazardous than those permitted by the provisions of such policy; (iii) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken by Lender pursuant to any provision of any Security Instrument or the Note or other document evidencing or securing the Loan upon the happening of an event of default therein; (iv) any change in title to or ownership of any Individual Property; (v) with respect to the liability policies, the Policy shall not be cancelled without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lender, except ten (10) days’ notice for non-payment of premium; (vi) if obtainable by Borrower using commercially reasonable efforts, if obtainable by Borrower using commercially reasonable efforts, the issuer(s) of the Policy shall give written notice to Lender (if the issuers elect not to renew the policies prior to its expiration; (vii) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments or commissions thereunder and that the related issuer(s) waive any related claims to the contrary; (viii) Lender shall, at its option and with no obligation to do so, have the right to directly pay Insurance Premiums in order to avoid cancellation, expiration and/or termination of the Policy due to non-payment of Insurance Premiums; and (ix) the Policy shall not exclude coverage for acts of terror or similar acts of sabotage.

(E)    By no later than five (5) days following the expiration date of any Policies, Borrower shall furnish to Lender a statement certified by Borrower of the amounts of insurance maintained in compliance herewith, of the risks covered by such insurance and of the insurance company or companies which carry such insurance and, if requested by Lender, verification of the adequacy of such insurance by an independent insurance broker or appraiser acceptable to Lender. Without limitation of the foregoing, Borrower shall also comply with the foregoing within ten (10) days of written request of Lender. Borrower shall promptly forward to Lender a copy of each written notice received by any Borrower Party of any modification, reduction or cancellation of any of the Policies or of any of the coverages afforded under any of the Policies.

(F)    Borrower is hereby notified that unless Borrower provides Lender with evidence acceptable in form to Lender of the insurance coverage required by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender may purchase insurance at Borrower’s expense to protect Lender’s interests in the

Page 68

Property, which insurance may, but need not, protect the interests of Borrower. The coverage purchased by Lender may not pay any claim made by Borrower or any claim made against Borrower in connection with the Property. Borrower may later cancel any insurance purchased by Lender, but only after providing Lender with evidence that Borrower has obtained the insurance as required hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. If Lender purchases insurance, Borrower will be responsible for the costs of such insurance, including interest and any other charges imposed in connection with the placement of the insurance, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be added to the total obligation secured by this Agreement, the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents. The costs of such insurance may be greater than the cost of insurance Borrower may be able to obtain for itself.

(G)    Borrower shall not obtain (or permit to be obtained) (i) any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy unless, in each case, such Policy is approved in advance in writing by Lender, Lender’s interest is included therein as provided in this Agreement, such Policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer and such Policy includes such changes to the coverages and requirements set forth herein as may be required by Lender (including, without limitation, increases to the amount of coverages required herein) or (ii) separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in this Section 6.1 and Schedule 6.1 to be furnished by, or which may be reasonably required to be furnished by, Borrower. In the event Borrower obtains (or causes to be obtained) separate insurance or an umbrella or a blanket Policy, Borrower shall notify Lender of the same and shall cause complete copies of each Policy to be delivered as required in this Section 6.1 and Schedule 6.1. Notwithstanding Lender’s approval of any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy hereunder, Lender reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to require Borrower to obtain a separate Policy in compliance with this Section 6.1 and Schedule 6.1. Without limitation of any provision hereof, (i) Lender’s consent required hereunder with respect to any umbrella or blanket policy shall include the schedule of locations and values with respect to the same and (ii) any umbrella or blanket Policy shall specifically allocate to each Individual Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only such Individual Property in compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.1 and Schedule 6.1.

(H)    Borrower shall promptly comply with and conform to (x) all provisions of each Policy required by this Section 6.1 and Schedule 6.1, and (y) all requirements of the insurers thereunder applicable to Borrower or any Individual Property or to the use, manner of use, occupancy, possession, operation, maintenance, alteration or repair of any Individual Property. All policies shall contain full waivers of subrogation against the Lender. Without limiting any of the foregoing obligations of Borrower, Borrower shall also comply with any insurance requirements contained in any other agreement to which Borrower is a party or that encumber any Individual Property, including without limitation, any covenants, conditions or restrictions that encumber any Individual Property.

(I)    Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security interest in all policies of insurance that may now or hereafter be required or provided hereunder, and all other policies of insurance in which Borrower has or may hereafter acquire any rights, and all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing. Without limitation, but subject to the terms set forth herein, Borrower hereby assigns to Lender all rights to receive any proceeds of any such insurance policies. In the event of a foreclosure of any Security Instrument or other transfer of title to any Individual Property (or any portion thereof) in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Loan, to the extent permitted, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies then in force to the extent concerning the applicable Individual Property (or any portion thereof) and all proceeds payable and not otherwise already paid thereunder shall thereupon vest exclusively in Lender or the purchaser at such foreclosure or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

Page 69

Section 6.2.    Casualty and Condemnation.

(A)    In the event of Casualty or Condemnation at any Individual Property (other than non-material Casualty at an Individual Property involving damages of less than $100,000, when aggregated with any other then unrestored Casualty damage at the applicable Individual Property), Borrower shall give prompt written notice of the same to the insurance carrier and to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion, in accordance with the terms hereof, the repair and restoration of such Individual Property as nearly as possible to the condition of such Individual Property prior to the casualty or loss (a “Restoration”). Borrower shall pay all costs of the Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds. Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies concerning a Casualty, and any settlement discussions with any Governmental Authority with respect to a Condemnation (and shall have the right to approve any final settlement with respect to either) with respect to any Casualty or Condemnation in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are reasonably expected to exceed the Net Proceeds Threshold (and otherwise if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender all instruments reasonably required by Lender to permit such participation. With respect to any Casualty or Condemnation in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are reasonably expected to exceed the Net Proceeds Threshold (and otherwise if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds lawfully or equitably payable in connection with each Individual Property, and Lender shall be reimbursed by Borrower for any reasonable expenses actually incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and the payment by Borrower of the expense of an appraisal on behalf of Lender in case of Casualty or Condemnation affecting any Individual Property or any part thereof) from such Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds, as applicable. If an Event of Default exists, Lender may, at Lender’s option, retain and apply, in accordance with Section 2.8(C) hereof, the balance of the Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds toward reduction of the Obligations whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper

(B)    If not disbursed to Borrower as provided in Section 6.2(E)(i) below if the Net Proceeds are less than the Net Proceeds Threshold, Lender may, at Lender’s option, condition disbursement of any Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds on Lender’s reasonable approval of plans and specifications prepared by an independent architect licensed in the state where the applicable Individual Property is located, having at least three (3) years of experience as an architect and reasonably satisfactory to Lender (an “Approved Architect”), any and all material contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration and satisfaction of liens as Lender may reasonably require. Lender shall not be obligated to disburse Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month. If Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds are applied to the payment of the Obligations, any such application of proceeds to principal shall not extend or postpone the due dates of the monthly payments due under the Note or otherwise under the Loan Documents, or change the amounts of such payments. Any amount of Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds remaining in Lender’s possession after full and final payment and discharge of all Obligations shall be refunded to Borrower (or if the Mezzanine Loan remains outstanding, disbursed to Mezzanine Lender for application pursuant to the Mezzanine Loan Documents). If any Individual Property is sold at foreclosure or if Lender acquires title to any Individual Property, Lender shall have all of the right, title and interest of Borrower in and to any Insurance Proceeds, and in and to the proceeds resulting from any damage to the applicable Individual Property prior to such sale or acquisition, in each case if and to the extent not previously applied to the Obligations or Restoration of the Individual Property.

Page 70

(C)    If not disbursed to Borrower as provided in Section 6.2(E)(i) below if the Net Proceeds are less than the Net Proceeds Threshold, in no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Approved Architect, less a retainage equal to the lesser of (x) the maximum retainage amounts permitted under applicable law and (y) ten percent (10%) of such costs incurred until the Restoration has been completed in all material respects (the “Retention Amount”). The retainage shall in no event be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The retainage shall not be released until the Approved Architect certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed substantially in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.2 and that all material approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the applicable Individual Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the retainage.

(D)    Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened in writing commencement of any proceeding in respect of Condemnation, and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. For Condemnations in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are reasonably expected to exceed the Net Proceeds Threshold (and otherwise if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments reasonably requested by Lender to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and for Condemnations in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are reasonably expected to exceed the Net Proceeds Threshold (and otherwise if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to perform the Obligations at the time and in the manner provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Obligations shall not be reduced until any Condemnation Proceeds shall have been actually received and applied by Lender to the reduction or discharge of the Obligations. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the award by the applicable Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If any Individual Property or any portion thereof is taken by a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute Restoration and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.2(E). If the applicable Individual Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the award, in each case if and to the extent not previously applied to the Obligations or Restoration of the Individual Property.

(E)    Restoration.    The following provisions shall apply in connection with any Restoration:

(i)    If the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Net Proceeds Threshold and the costs of completing Restoration shall be less than the Net Proceeds Threshold, and provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt (or if not yet received, Lender shall permit such Net Proceeds to be disbursed directly to Borrower), provided that the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(E)(ii)(a)(6) and (8) are satisfied in all material respects and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(E)(ii)(a)(6), (7) and (8).

The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 6.2(E) shall mean: (a) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel costs and fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (b) the net amount of the award, after deduction of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel costs and fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.

(a) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided the following conditions are met:

(1)    no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(2)    (x) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than thirty-five percent (35%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the applicable Individual Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty, or (y) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than fifteen percent (15%) of the land constituting the Individual Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of such Individual Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land;

(3)    Borrower shall commence Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the issuance of a building permit with respect thereto) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;

(4)    Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the affected Individual Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in paragraph (iii) of Schedule 6.1, if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;

(5)    Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Material Lease or Property Document, (3) such time as may be required under all applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the applicable Individual Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such Condemnation, as applicable, or (4) prior to the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in paragraph (iii) of Schedule 6.1;

Page 72

(6)    the applicable Individual Property and the use thereof after Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements and all Property Documents in all material respects;

(7)    Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and all Property Documents in all material respects;

(8)    such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the applicable Individual Property or the related Improvements that cannot reasonably be restored;

(9)    Lender shall be satisfied that cash flow from the applicable Individual Property after Restoration will not be less than the cash flow immediately prior to the Casualty or Condemnation;

(10)    Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing Restoration, which budget shall be reasonably acceptable to Lender; and

(11)    the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable discretion to cover the cost of Restoration.

Page 73

(iii)    If Net Proceeds are not required to be (i) made available for Restoration (due to Borrower’s inability to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(E) or otherwise), or (ii) paid to the Mezzanine Lender or returned to Borrower as Excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.2(E), then in any such event all Net Proceeds may be retained and applied by Lender in accordance with Section 2.8(C) hereof toward reduction of the Obligations whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as is set forth in Section 2.8(C), or, in the sole discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its sole discretion.

(iv)    In the event of foreclosure of any Security Instrument, or other transfer of title to any Individual Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Loan, all right, title and interest of

(F) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.2 or anything to the contrary set forth herein, if the Loan or any portion thereof is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the lien of any Security Instrument in connection with a Casualty, Condemnation or other loss at any Individual Property, the ratio of the value of the Property (such value to be determined, in Lender’s sole discretion, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust, but shall be based solely on the value of real property and shall exclude personal property and going-concern value) to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan is greater than one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%), (a) the applicable Net Proceeds shall be applied first to the Loan rather than to Restoration in an amount necessary to cause the value of real property (excluding personal property and going-concern value) to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan to be less than one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%), and (b) to the extent that the amount of the applicable Net Proceeds actually applied to the Loan in connection therewith is insufficient under REMIC Requirements, Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days of demand by Lender, prepay the principal amount of the Loan in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions hereof in an amount equal to such insufficiency.

Section 6.3. Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall reimburse Lender within ten (10) Business Days after written demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in connection with any Casualty or any threatened in writing or actual Condemnation or any contemplated in writing or actual transaction in lieu of Condemnation, including without limitation any such reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in connection with any application or claim for Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds and any Restoration.

To the extent not paid from amounts deposited by Borrower pursuant to this Section 7.3, Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for all such advances, together with interest thereon at the same rate that is then applicable to principal outstanding hereunder. Any surplus retained by Lender after payment of the Taxes or Lien Claim for which a deposit was made shall be promptly repaid to Borrower unless an Event of Default shall exist, in which case said surplus may be retained by Lender to be applied to the Obligations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the contrary, Borrower shall pay any Taxes or Lien Claim which it might otherwise be entitled to contest if an Event of Default shall exist, or if, in the reasonable determination of Lender, the applicable Individual Property is in jeopardy or in danger of being forfeited or foreclosed during the pendency of such contest. If Borrower refuses to pay any such Taxes or Lien Claim, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment and Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for all such advances.

Unless Lender has reasonable concern that an Event of Default then exists, Lender shall endeavor to provide advance written notice of at least two (2) Business Days prior to visiting or inspecting such Individual Property or such Individual Borrower’s offices.

Section 7.6. Waste. Borrower shall not commit or knowingly permit any physical waste of the Property or make any change in the use of the Property which will in any way materially increase the risk of fire or other natural hazard arising out of the operation of the Property, or knowingly take any action that would invalidate or give cause for cancellation of any Policy, or do or permit (to the extent within the control of Borrower or its Affiliates control to prevent) to be done thereon anything that would materially impair the value of the Property or the security for the Loan. Borrower will not permit any drilling or exploration for or extraction, removal, or production of any minerals from the surface or the subsurface of the Property, regardless of the depth thereof or the method of mining or extraction thereof.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.10 that would otherwise permit the Borrower to replace the Property Manager upon satisfaction of the requirements of Section 7.10, Borrower shall not terminate or replace Sponsor Affiliated Manager, or suffer or permit Sponsor Affiliated Manager to terminate or fail to renew any Management Agreement with Sponsor Affiliated Manager, or replace the SmartStop Brand with any other Brand, without (i) Lender’s prior written approval in its reasonable discretion (which approval Lender may condition upon receipt of a Rating Agency Confirmation) of such termination or replacement of Sponsor Affiliated Manager and the proposed successor Brand, and (ii) engaging a replacement Property Manager in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.10 and satisfying the requirements of the provisions of Section 7.10.

Upon written request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with true, correct and complete executed copies of all Leases, amendments thereof and any related agreements in all material respects. All renewals of Leases and all proposed Leases shall comply with the criteria set forth in Section 7.9(B). All proposed Leases shall be on commercially reasonable market rate terms and shall not contain any terms which would materially affect Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents.

Borrower (a) shall observe and perform the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in all material respects; (b) shall enforce the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases in all material respects upon the part of the Tenant thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner and in a manner not to impair the value of the applicable Individual Property involved; (c) shall not collect more than five percent (5%) of the Rents from any Individual Property more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits required pursuant to the applicable Leases); (d) shall not execute any assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); (e) shall not alter, modify or change the terms of the Leases in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of the Loan Documents; and (f) shall execute and deliver at the request of Lender all such further assurances, confirmations and assignments in connection with the Leases as Lender shall from time to time reasonably require.

Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall deliver all Security Deposits (and any interest theretofore earned thereon) to Lender, to be held by Lender subject to the terms of the Leases. Also, upon Lender’s written request (but not more often than one time per calendar year unless an Event of Default exists), Borrower shall provide Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of Borrower’s compliance with the foregoing and with all requirements of law pertaining to the Security Deposits.

(E) Deemed Approval Requirements. If the Deemed Approval Requirements set forth herein are fully satisfied in connection with Borrower’s request for Lender’s approval with respect to a leasing matter pursuant to this Section 7.9, Lender’s approval shall be deemed given with respect to such matter.

Section 7.10. Management. (a) Unless waived by Lender in writing, which waiver may be withheld in Lender’s sole discretion, the Property Manager shall be a Qualified Manager.

Without limitation of the foregoing, each Management Agreement shall provide that such Management Agreement shall be terminable at Borrower’s option upon 60 days prior notice without penalty or premium.

Page 81

(c) Lender shall have the right (x) to require Borrower to terminate any Management Agreement for an Individual Property (or, if applicable, for one or more Individual Properties) and replace such Property Manager with a Qualified Manager that is not an Affiliated Manager and (y) solely in the case of clause (i) below, terminate any Management Agreement and replace Property Manager with another property manager chosen by Lender in its sole discretion, upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events: (i) an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing (in which event Lender may terminate, or require termination of, any or all Management Agreements, as determined from time to time by Lender), (ii) a change in Control of any Affiliated Property Manager occurs with respect to any Individual Property managed by it (provided that a change of Control of an Affiliated Manager shall not be deemed to have occurred if such Property Manager remains an Affiliated Manager, including following a Self Administration Transaction), (iii) Property Manager shall be in material default under the applicable Management Agreement beyond any applicable notice and cure period, (iv) upon the gross negligence, malfeasance or willful misconduct of Property Manager with respect to the applicable Management Agreement or Individual Property, or (v) upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Property Manager.

(d) Borrower shall execute and cause each replacement Property Manager to execute and deliver an assignment and subordination agreement reasonably satisfactory to Lender at the time of execution and delivery of any Management Agreement. Any action or inaction of Property Manager within the scope of the rights and obligations of Borrower that are delegated to Property Manager under the Management Agreement shall be deemed attributed to Borrower for purposes of determining compliance with or default under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(e) Borrower shall, from time to time (but no more than once in any twelve month period unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from Property Manager under any Management Agreement such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by Borrower with the terms of such Management Agreement as may be reasonably requested in writing by Lender (on its own behalf or on behalf of any Lender).

Borrower shall deposit into a reserve with Lender (the “Taxes and Insurance Reserve”), monthly, on each Payment Date, 1/12th of the annual charges (as reasonably estimated by Lender, based on actual tax records and reasonably anticipated increases in Taxes) for all Taxes relating to the Property, all premiums for the environmental insurance policies relating to the Property, if applicable, and, if requested in writing by Lender, all other Insurance Premiums with respect to the Property (said funds, together with additions thereto, the “Taxes and Insurance Reserve Funds”). The amounts to be deposited by Borrower into the Taxes and Insurance Reserve on the date hereof are set forth on Schedule 8.1 hereto. Borrower shall also deposit with Lender, within ten (10) Business Days of written demand, to be added to and included within the Taxes and Insurance Reserve, a sum of money which Lender reasonably estimates, together with such monthly deposits, will be sufficient to make the payment of each such charge at least thirty (30) days prior to the date the same would be initially delinquent if not paid. Upon written request by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender with bills and all other documents reasonably necessary for the payment of the foregoing charges at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which each payment shall first become delinquent. Lender shall pay said items or disburse to Borrower from the Taxes and Insurance Reserve an amount sufficient to pay said items, provided that (i) no Default has occurred and is continuing without cure (other than a Default that will be cured by the subject payment from the Taxes and Insurance Reserve), (ii) Borrower shall have provided Lender with the foregoing bills and other documents in a timely manner, (iii) sufficient funds are held by Lender in the Taxes and Insurance Reserve for the payment of the Taxes and Insurance Premiums relating to the Property, as applicable, and (iv) the Reserve Disbursement Conditions shall have been satisfied. Anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere notwithstanding, no interest or other investment earnings shall be paid to Borrower on funds in the Taxes and Insurance Reserve.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower’s obligation to make the monthly deposits for Insurance Premiums required above shall be suspended provided that the following conditions remain satisfied: (A) no Event of Default then exists; (B) Borrower or an Affiliate thereof maintains a blanket insurance policy that provides the coverages required by Article VI of this Agreement with respect to the Property, that covers substantially all self-storage properties managed directly or indirectly by Sponsor and that otherwise satisfies the requirements for a blanket insurance policy set forth in Section 6.1(G); and (C) Borrower delivers to Lender evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Lender, that such blanket insurance policy is in full force and effect at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such policy is scheduled to expire, and that the premium due for such blanket insurance policy has been paid not less than thirty (30) days thereafter. If at any time any one of the foregoing conditions are not satisfied, Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s written demand, deposit with Lender immediately available funds in the amount determined by Lender to be sufficient (together with projected monthly deposits) to pay such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the date the same would be delinquent if not paid, and commence making monthly deposits for on the immediately following Payment Date in the amounts described above.

Section 8.2. Replacement Reserve. Borrower shall deposit into a reserve with Lender (the “Replacement Reserve”) on the Closing date the amount shown on Schedule 8.1 hereto, and thereafter, monthly on each Payment Date, the monthly amounts designated as monthly amounts on Schedule 8.1 hereto for the purposes set forth in this Section (said funds, together with any additions thereto, the “Replacement Reserve Funds”). Funds contained in the Replacement Reserve shall be utilized by Borrower solely for Capital Expenditures performed during the term of the Loan in accordance with the capital expenditures budget prepared by Borrower, and during a Cash Management Period, the Approved Capital Expenditures Budget, and shall not be used by Borrower for purposes for which any other Reserve is established. Lender from time to time may reasonably reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for

Page 89

the Replacement Reserve, in which case the monthly amount payable by Borrower to Lender for deposit into the Replacement Reserve shall change in accordance with such estimate on thirty (30) days’ written notice to Borrower. Upon written application, Borrower shall be entitled to draw upon the Replacement Reserve to pay for the costs for which the Replacement Reserve has been established after such costs shall have been incurred by Borrower and invoiced, provided that the Reserve Disbursement Conditions shall have been satisfied.

Section 8.3. Intentionally Omitted.

Section 8.4. Deferred Maintenance Reserve. At Closing, Borrower shall deposit into a reserve with Lender (the “Deferred Maintenance Reserve”) the amount shown on Schedule 8.1 hereto for the purposes set forth in this Section (said funds, together with any additions thereto, the “Deferred Maintenance Reserve Funds”). Funds contained in the Deferred Maintenance Reserve shall be used by Borrower solely for the work described in the Schedule 7.4(C) attached hereto (“Required Repairs”), and shall not be used by Borrower for purposes for which any other Reserve is established. In the event that the funds available from the Deferred Maintenance Reserve are insufficient to pay for the Required Repairs, Borrower shall pay the amount of such deficiency. Upon written application of Borrower, Borrower shall be entitled to draw upon the Deferred Maintenance Reserve to pay for the costs of such Required Repairs after such costs shall have been incurred by Borrower and invoiced, provided that (i) the Reserve Disbursement Conditions below shall have been satisfied, and (ii) where Schedule 7.4(C) identifies a specific dollar amount to a specific work item, no funds shall be drawn from the Deferred Maintenance Reserve for such item in excess of the specified dollar amount unless Borrower shall demonstrate to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction that the additional funds are available from savings from another Required Repairs item that has been completed. Provided that Borrower is not otherwise precluded from making distributions pursuant to the Loan Documents, Borrower shall be entitled to draw any remaining balance in the Deferred Maintenance Reserve when all of the Required Repairs have been completed and paid for and all lien waivers have been obtained, in each case to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender.

Section 8.5. Testing; Environmental Remediation Reserve. Borrower shall, at Borrower’s cost and expense, including payment to Lender, within ten (10) Business Days of Lender’s written notice, the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expense of Lender and its environmental consultant, (a) proceed with and complete the well water testing at the Individual Property located in Kingwood, Texas (as identified on Schedule 1 hereto), as described in the Environmental Report for such Individual Property, within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, (b) provide to Lender and its environmental consultant the results thereof and the related documentation and information relating thereto, and (c) if well water monitoring or other remediation is recommended by Lender’s environmental consultant or required under applicable Environmental Law or other Legal Requirements, proceed with reasonable diligence to commence and thereafter with reasonable diligence perform such monitoring or other remediation, which shall be performed in accordance with a plan for such monitoring and mediation reasonably approved in writing by Lender (the “Environmental Remediation Reserve Work”). In the event any Environmental Remediation Reserve Work is required, Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s written request, deposit into a reserve with Lender (the “Environmental Remediation Reserve”) an amount equal to 110% the costs of such Environmental Remediation Reserve Work, as reasonably estimated by Lender’s environmental consultant (said funds, together with any investment earnings thereon and additions thereto, the “Environmental Remediation Reserve Funds”). In the event that the funds available from the Environmental Remediation Reserve are insufficient to pay for the required work, Borrower shall pay the amount of such deficiency. The funds contained in the Environmental Remediation Reserve shall be utilized by Borrower solely for the Environmental Remediation Reserve Work, and shall not be used by Borrower for purposes for which any other Reserve is established. Upon written application of Borrower, Borrower shall be entitled to draw upon the Environmental Remediation Reserve to pay for such costs, provided that (i) the Reserve Disbursement Conditions shall have been satisfied, and

Page 90

(ii) Borrower shall provide to Lender such evidence of compliance with law and regulatory oversight of the remediation as Lender may reasonably require, and the same shall be satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion. Provided that Borrower is not otherwise precluded from making distributions pursuant to the Loan Documents, Borrower shall be entitled to draw any remaining balance in the Environmental Remediation Reserve when all of the Environmental Remediation Reserve Work has been completed and paid for, all lien waivers have been obtained, and Borrower has delivered such closure reports, no-further-action letters, and other evidence in accordance with the foregoing.

At such time as any Cash Management Period shall end, any funds held in the Excess Cash Reserve Account shall be returned to Borrower.

During a Cash Management Period, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon written request of Borrower, Lender shall disburse within ten (10) Business Days of Borrower’s request but no more frequently than quarterly, Excess Cash Reserve Funds (to the extent of the balance thereof then held in the Excess Cash Reserve Account) for disbursements to Borrower to be distributed to Guarantor (such disbursement and distribution deemed to be an equity distribution by Borrower to its equity holders) in an amount that is the lesser of (i) $50,000 annually, and (ii) an amount sufficient, as reasonably determined by Borrower, to enable Guarantor to satisfy the distribution requirements applicable to REITs and otherwise avoid the imposition of U.S. federal and state income and excise taxes (including, without limitation, under Sections 857 and 4981 of the IRS Code) (measured for this purpose as if Borrower were itself a REIT, that such REIT’s assets were limited to the assets of Borrower, and that such REIT’s income was limited to Borrower’s net taxable income (or the net taxable income of Borrower’s owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is attributable to its interest in Borrower)).

(ii) Lender shall disburse Deferred Maintenance Reserve Funds for Required Repairs, Replacement Reserve Funds for Capital Expenditures performed during the term of the Loan in accordance with the capital expenditures budget prepared by Borrower, and during a Cash Management Period, the Approved Capital Expenditures Budget, and (iii) Environmental Remediation Reserve Funds for Environmental Remediation Reserve Work, in each case, not more than once monthly with respect to each type of Reserve Fund, and in amounts not less than $25,000.00, or, if less, the remaining balance of the applicable Reserve Funds, upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (a) Borrower shall submit a request for payment to Lender at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date

Page 91

on which Borrower requests such payment be made and specify the purpose of the disbursement, (b) in the case of disbursements on account of Required Repairs, Capital Expenditures, or Environmental Remediation Reserve Work: (x) Lender shall have received a certificate from Borrower (1) stating that all work to be funded by the requested disbursement has been completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, such certificate to be accompanied by a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required in connection therewith, (2) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the requested disbursement, and (3) stating that each such Person has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement, such certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender, (y) at Lender’s option for requests for disbursements for amounts greater than $250,000, Borrower shall obtain a title or lien search for the applicable Individual Property indicating that such Individual Property is free from all liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender or otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents, and (z) Lender shall have received such other evidence (including, but not limited to, architectural, engineering or environmental reports) as Lender shall reasonably request that the work to be funded by the requested disbursement has been completed in accordance with all Legal Requirements and is paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower.

(B) Security Interest; Rights on Default. Borrower hereby grants and pledges to Lender a security interest in any and all monies now or hereafter comprising any Reserves, including all Reserve Funds and any other funds paid to or held by Lender for such purposes, and all earnings on and proceeds of any or all of the foregoing, in each case as security for the payment of the Loan and the payment and performance of all other Obligations. If an Event of Default exists, Lender shall have no obligation to disburse any amount from any Reserve. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have all rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and under applicable law. Without limitation, if an Event of Default exists, Lender shall have no obligation to disburse any amount from any Reserve, and Lender is expressly authorized to hold all or any portion of the Reserves and not apply the same to the Obligations, to apply all or any portion of the Reserves against any of the Obligations in any order that Lender determines, to apply all or any portion of the Reserves otherwise as provided herein, or to dispose of any or all of the same in accordance with applicable law.

(C) Earnings on Reserves. The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. No earnings or interest on the Reserve Funds shall be payable to Borrower. Neither Lender nor any Servicer that at any time holds or maintains the Reserve funds shall have any obligation to keep or maintain such Reserve Funds or any funds deposited therein in interest bearing accounts. If Lender or any Servicer elects in its sole and absolute discretion to keep or maintain any Reserve Funds deposited therein in an interest bearing account, (i) such funds shall not be invested except in Permitted Investments, and (ii) all interest earned or accrued thereon shall be for the account of, and be retained by Lender or any Servicer. Lender shall not be responsible and shall have no liability whatsoever for the rate of return earned or losses incurred on the investment of any Reserve Funds in Permitted Investments.

(D) Right to Receive Authorization. Lender shall have the right at any time to request from Borrower or from Guarantor written authorization in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, separate and apart from the authorizations set forth in the Loan Documents, to make (or refrain from making) any payment from or with respect to any Reserve (including payments to Lender for credit against the obligations of Borrower hereunder), or to take (or refrain from taking) any action pertaining to any Reserve. Lender shall have no obligation to request any such written authorization ever, and Lender’s not requesting any such written authorization shall not give rise to any rights in Borrower or any obligation, liability or detriment of Lender. Further, Lender’s requesting such written authorization in any case or cases shall not give rise to any obligation to request such written authorization in any subsequent case. If such written authorization is given, then Lender shall have the right to rely on the same irrevocably. If

Page 92

Lender requests any such written authorization for any matter which the Loan Documents or applicable law permits or requires Lender to do under the circumstances then in effect or as contemplated in such request for written authorization, then until such time as Lender receives such written authorization (including any time following denial of such written authorization) Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized to do any one or more of the following, at Lender’s reasonable option (i) except for payment of Taxes, hold all or any part of the applicable Reserve without making payment therefrom, (ii) make any payments from the Reserve that are then permitted or required under the Loan Documents or applicable law, or (iii) exercise or refrain from exercising any other rights or remedies pertaining to the Reserves that are then permitted under the Loan Documents or under applicable law. Lender’s rights under the foregoing sentence may be exercised simultaneously or seriatim in any combination or sequence. If Lender shall exercise any of such rights by reason of not having received any requested written authorization, and if the requested written authorization is subsequently given (or if a denial of written authorization is subsequently rescinded), Lender shall not then be required to undo the results of any such exercise of rights, and Lender shall not be bound by any obligation which Lender determines in its reasonable discretion is inconsistent with any of the rights that have been so exercised. The rights of Lender under this subsection shall govern and prevail notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents or elsewhere. Without limitation, the rights of Lender under this subsection shall govern and prevail over any provision of the Loan Documents which imposes on Lender any obligation whatsoever pertaining to any Reserve.

(E) Reserves Not Specifically Identified in Article VIII. This Article shall apply to all Reserves that are specifically identified in this Article VIII and also to any other Reserves that are required pursuant to the Loan Documents.

(F) Additional Provisions. Borrower’s obligations to make deposits into each Reserve are separate from Borrower’s obligations to make deposits into each other Reserve, and from its obligations to pay as and when due all principal, interest, and other amounts owing under the Loan Documents. Without limitation, nothing in this Article shall excuse Borrower’s performance of any obligation set forth elsewhere in this Agreement or in the Loan Documents. Lender may (but need not) disburse payment from any Reserve directly to the applicable vendor, by joint check to Borrower (or any Individual Borrower on behalf of Borrower) and the applicable contractor, or to Borrower (or any Individual Borrower on behalf of Borrower), in each case as determined by Lender in its sole discretion. To the extent that Reserves are funded from Loan proceeds, whether at Closing or otherwise, the amount so funded shall constitute principal outstanding hereunder. Upon full and final payment of the Obligations, any funds remaining in any Reserve shall be disbursed to Borrower.

Section 8.9. Letters of Credit.

(A) This Section shall apply to any Letters of Credit which are permitted to be delivered pursuant to the express terms and conditions of this Agreement. Borrower shall give Lender no less than ten (10) days written notice of Borrower’s election to deliver a Letter of Credit together with a draft of the proposed Letter of Credit and Borrower shall pay to Lender all of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith. No party other than Lender shall be entitled to draw on any such Letter of Credit.

(B) Each Letter of Credit delivered hereunder shall be additional security for the payment of the Obligations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, at its option, to draw on any Letter of Credit and to apply all or any part thereof to the payment of the items for which such Letter of Credit was established or to apply each such Letter of Credit to payment of the Obligations in such order, proportion or priority as Lender may determine. Any such application to the Obligations shall be subject to the terms and conditions hereof relating to application of

Page 93

sums to the Obligations. Lender shall have the additional rights to draw in full any Letter of Credit: (i) if Lender has received a notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (ii) if Lender has not received a notice from the issuing bank that it has renewed the Letter of Credit at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (iii) upon receipt of notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will be terminated (except if the termination of such Letter of Credit is permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof or a substitute Letter of Credit is provided by no later than thirty (30) days prior to such termination); (iv) if Lender has received notice that the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall cease to be an Approved LC Bank and Borrower has not substituted a Letter of Credit from an Approved LC Bank within fifteen (15) days after notice; and/or (v) if the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall fail to (A) issue a replacement Letter of Credit in the event the original Letter of Credit has been lost, mutilated, stolen and/or destroyed or (B) consent to the transfer of the Letter of Credit to any Person designated by Lender in connection with this Agreement. If Lender draws upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, provided no Event of Default exists, Lender shall apply all or any part thereof for the purposes for which such Letter of Credit was established. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the above, Lender is not obligated to draw any Letter of Credit upon the happening of an event specified in (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above and shall not be liable for any losses sustained by Borrower due to the insolvency of the bank issuing the Letter of Credit if Lender has not drawn the Letter of Credit.

(C) In no event shall Borrower be an account party to, or have or incur any reimbursement obligations in connection with, any Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall only be permitted to deliver a Letter of Credit hereunder to the extent the amount of such Letter of Credit, together with the amounts of all other outstanding Letters of Credit, does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan.

Upon and at any time after the

Page 97

occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, at the option of Lender, which may be exercised without notice or demand to anyone, all or any portion of the Loan and other Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration or other requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Borrower Party.

(B) 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 Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or at law or in equity, may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Obligations shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender 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 such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing (i) to the fullest extent permitted by law, Lender shall not be subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Security Instruments have been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Obligations or the Obligations have been paid in full.

(C) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose one or more of the Security Instruments in any manner and for any amounts secured by such Security Instruments then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) if Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Security Instruments to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) if Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Security Instruments to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Security Instruments as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Security Instruments to secure payment of sums secured by the Security Instruments and not previously recovered.

(D) Any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan during the continuance of an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.

(E) The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

Page 98

Section 9.3. Duration of Events of Default. Notwithstanding anything else herein or any other Loan Document (but subject to any contrary effect of any applicable statute), Lender shall have no obligation to accept the cure of, or to waive, any Event of Default, regardless of tender of delinquent payments or other performance by Borrower, or any other event or condition whatsoever; and no Borrower Party shall have any right to cure any Event of Default, and no right to cure shall be implied. After the first occurrence of any Event of Default (irrespective of whether or not the same consists of an ongoing condition, a one-time occurrence, or otherwise), the same shall be deemed to continue at all times thereafter; provided, however, that such Event of Default shall cease to continue only if Lender shall expressly accept performance of the defaulted obligation in writing or shall otherwise execute and deliver a written agreement in which Lender expressly states that such Event of Default has ceased to continue. Lender shall not be obligated under any circumstances whatsoever to accept such performance or execute and deliver any such writing. Without limitation, this Section shall govern in any case where reference is made in this Agreement or elsewhere in the Loan Documents to (i) any “cure” (whether by use of such word or otherwise) of any Event of Default, (ii) “during an Event of Default,” “the continuance of an Event of Default” or “after an Event of Default has ceased” (in each case, whether by use of such words or otherwise), or (iii) any condition or event which continues beyond the time when the same becomes an Event of Default.

Section 9.4. Performance by Lender.

(A) If any Borrower Party shall fail to perform fully, or cause to be performed fully, any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether notice has been given and whether any time in which to cure has elapsed and irrespective of whether or not an Event of Default has occurred, Lender may (but shall have no obligation to) perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of such Borrower Party. In such event, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, promptly pay to Lender any amount reasonably expended by Lender in such performance or attempted performance, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, from the date of such expenditure until paid. Any amounts advanced or expended by Lender to perform or attempt to perform any such matter shall be added to and included within the Indebtedness evidenced by the Note and shall be secured by all of the Collateral securing the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that Lender shall not have any liability or responsibility for the performance of any obligation of any Borrower Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(B) Lender may cease or suspend any and all performance required of Lender under the Loan Documents upon and during the continuance of any Default, and upon and at any time after the occurrence of any Event of Default.

Section 9.5. Right of Entry. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender is hereby irrevocably empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon any Individual Property or any part thereof for the purposes of (i) inspecting such Individual Property and conducting tests and appraisals, (ii) determining whether Borrower has performed its obligations under the Loan Documents, (iii) protecting Lender’s interests in the Collateral, (iv) performing or attempting to perform any obligation of Borrower, (v) responding to any Default, and (vi) collecting any Receipts and performing any obligations under any Leases. Lender shall not be liable to Borrower or any person in possession holding under Borrower by reason of such entry or such action.

Page 99

Section 9.6. Evidence of Compliance. Promptly following request by Lender, Borrower shall provide such documents and instruments as shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender to evidence compliance with any provision of the Loan Documents.

SEVERED LOAN DOCUMENTS; ADMINISTRATION

Section 13.1. Assignments and Participations. Borrower acknowledges that Lender may on or after the Closing Date sell and assign one or more participation interests in and to the Loan, or pledge, hypothecate or encumber, or sell and assign all or any portion of the Loan, to or with such domestic or foreign banks, insurance companies, pension funds, trusts or other institutional lenders or other Persons, parties or investors (including, without limitation, grantor trusts, owner trusts, special purpose corporations, REMICs, real estate investment trusts or other similar or comparable investment vehicles) as may be selected by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion and on terms and conditions satisfactory to Lender in its sole and absolute discretion. Each Note and/or Component comprising the Loan may be subject to one or more Secondary Market Transactions. Borrower and all other Persons associated or connected with the Loan or the Property shall cooperate with Lender in all reasonable respects, in connection with the sale of participation interests in, or the pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance or sale or assignment of all or any portion of, the Loan, and shall, in connection therewith, (1) execute and deliver, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the other Borrower Parties and Sponsor Affiliated Manager to execute and deliver, such estoppels, certificates, instruments and documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender, and (2) if requested by Lender, Borrower shall execute and deliver, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the other Borrower Parties and Sponsor Affiliated Manager to execute and deliver, such documents and instruments as may be necessary to split the Loan into two or more loans evidenced by separate sets of notes and secured by separate sets of other related Loan Documents, or to terminate any

Page 112

cross-default provisions with respect to any other loan, to the full extent reasonably required by Lender to facilitate the sale of participation interests in the Loan or the sale of the Loan or the making of a loan to Lender secured by the Loan, it being agreed that (a) the Loan Documents securing the Loan as so split will have such priority of lien as may be specified by Lender, and (b) the retained interest of Lender in the Loan as so split shall be allocated to or among one or more of such separate loans in a manner specified by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, in each such instance (i) the outstanding principal balance of all the resulting notes evidencing the Loan (or components of such notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all such notes (or components of such notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification, (ii) neither Borrower, the other Borrower Parties nor Sponsor Affiliated Manager shall be required to enter into any modification or amendment to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other document, instrument or certificate if such modification, amendment, document, instrument or certificate would adversely affect or diminish the respective rights or increase their respective obligations and liabilities as presently set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, in each case other than to a de minimis extent, and other than resulting from any componentization of the Loan pursuant to Section 13.6, including any “rate creep” that would occur as a result of applications of principal payments (whether voluntary, mandatory, involuntary or otherwise occurring, including without limitation partial prepayments associated with Property Releases and applications of Casualty Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds) and/or upon occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and (iii) Borrower shall not be required to incur any costs and expenses in the performance of Borrower’s obligations under this Section 13.1 other than expenses of Borrower’s counsel, accountants and consultants.

Section 13.2. Effect of Assignment. Pursuant to any assignment or participation of all or any portion of the Loan as contemplated in this Section to any Person (an “Assignee”) (a) all references to Lender in this Agreement and in any Loan Document (or to an individual assigning Co-Lender in the event an individual Co-Lender makes such assignment rather than an assignment in whole by Lender) shall be deemed to refer to such assignee or successor in interest and such assignee or successor in interest shall thereafter stand in the place of Lender (or in the case of an individual assigning Co-Lender in the event an individual Co-Lender makes such assignment rather than an assignment in whole by Lender, such assignee of or successor-in-interest to such Co-Lender) in all respects with respect to each individual Note or portion of the Loan assigned to it, (b) Lender (or, if applicable, each Co-Lender) may transfer its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (or may transfer the portion thereof corresponding to the transferred portion of the Obligations) and, except as otherwise specified herein, any Assignee shall succeed to the rights and obligations of Lender (or, if applicable, such Co-Lender) hereunder in respect of the transferred portion, and (c) Lender (or the applicable Co-Lender) shall relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents as to the transferred portion. The liabilities of Lender (and each Co-Lender) and each of the other Assignees shall be separate and not joint and several. Neither Lender (or any Co-Lender) nor any Assignee shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Assignee or any other Co-Lender.

Section 13.3. Securitization.

(A) Lender, at its option, may elect to effect a Securitization of all or any portion of the Loan (including any Component thereof). In such event and upon request by Lender to seek to effect such a Securitization, Borrower shall promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter cooperate in all reasonable respects with Lender in connection with the Securitization to amend this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to execute such additional documents, in order to bifurcate the Loan into two or more constituent loans, to terminate any cross-default provisions with respect to any other loan to the extent reasonably requested by Lender, or to effect such other changes as may be reasonably necessary or

Page 113

desirable in connection with a Securitization or requested by a Rating Agency, provided, however, in each such instance (i) the outstanding principal balance of all the resulting notes evidencing the Loan (or components of such notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all such notes (or components of such notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification, (ii) neither Borrower, the other Borrower Parties nor Sponsor Affiliated Manager shall be required to enter into any modification or amendment to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other document, instrument or certificate if such modification, amendment, document, instrument or certificate would adversely affect or diminish the respective rights or increase their respective obligations and liabilities as presently set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, in each case other than to a de minimis extent, and other than resulting from any componentization of the Loan pursuant to Section 13.6, including any “rate creep” that would occur as a result of applications of principal payments (whether voluntary, mandatory, involuntary or otherwise occurring, including without limitation partial prepayments associated with Property Releases and applications of Casualty Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds) and/or upon occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and (iii) Borrower shall not be required to incur any costs and expenses in the performance of Borrower’s obligations under this Section 13.3(A) other than expenses of Borrower’s counsel, accountants and consultants.

(ii) provide such other information as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation of a private placement memorandum or registration statement required to privately place or publicly distribute the Securities in a manner which does not conflict with applicable federal or state securities laws (provided that Borrower shall not be required to provide any information for which the disclosure would be a violation of any Lease);

(iii) provide new and/or updated opinions of counsel, which may be relied upon by Lender, the Rating Agencies and their respective counsel, agents and representatives, as to substantive non-consolidation, matters of Delaware and federal bankruptcy law relating to limited liability companies, and any other opinion customary in Secondary Market Transactions or required by the Rating Agencies with respect to the Property, the Loan Documents, Borrower, Guarantor and Borrower’s Affiliates, which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and the Rating Agencies;

(iv) provide updated, as of the closing date of the Secondary Market Transaction, representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents and such additional representations and warranties as the Rating Agencies may require that are customary in Secondary Market Transactions; and

Page 114

Borrower shall not be required to incur any costs or expenses in the performance of its obligations under this Section 13.3(B) other than expenses of Borrower’s counsel, accountants and consultants. In addition, neither Borrower, the other Borrower Parties nor Sponsor Affiliated Manager shall be required under this Section 13.3(B) to enter into any modification or amendment to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other document, instrument or certificate if such modification, amendment, document, instrument or certificate would adversely affect or diminish the respective rights or increase their respective obligations and liabilities as presently set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, in each case other than to a de minimis extent, and other than resulting from any componentization of the Loan pursuant to Section 13.6, including any “rate creep” that would occur as a result of applications of principal payments (whether voluntary, mandatory, involuntary or otherwise occurring, including without limitation partial prepayments associated with Property Releases and applications of Casualty Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds) and/or upon occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

Section 13.4. Other Business. Lender, each Assignee and each participant and their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower Parties, or any of them, any Affiliate of a Borrower Party, any of Borrower’s subsidiaries and any Person who may do business with or own interests in or securities of any Borrower Party or any such Affiliate or subsidiary, without any duty to account therefor.

Section 13.5. Privity of Contract. This Agreement is being entered into by Lender individually and as agent for all present and future Assignees, and privity of contract is hereby created among Lender and all present and future Assignees, on the one hand, and Borrower, on the other hand.

Section 13.6. Severed Loan Documents; Componentization.

(A) (1) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes (including senior and subordinate notes), one or more “component” notes, pledge agreements and other security documents or documents evidencing the Loan (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder, (2) Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, within three (3) Business Days after the request of Lender, a severance and such other documents as Lender shall reasonably request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding clause (1), all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, (3) Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) Business Days after written notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power, and (4) Lender may require Borrower to modify the Loan in order to reduce the number of components of the Note or Notes, revise the interest rate for each component, reallocate the

Page 115

principal balances of the Notes and/or the components, increase or decrease the monthly debt service payments for each component or eliminate the component structure and/or the multiple note structure of the Loan (including the elimination of the related allocations of principal and interest payments); provided in each instance (i) that the outstanding principal balance of all components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately before the effective date of such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all such components of such notes immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Loan immediately prior to such modification, (ii) neither Borrower, the other Borrower Parties nor Sponsor Affiliated Manager shall be required to enter into any modification or amendment to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other document, instrument or certificate if such modification, amendment, document, instrument or certificate would adversely affect or diminish the respective rights or increase their respective obligations and liabilities as presently set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, in each case other than to a de minimis extent, and other than resulting from any componentization of the Loan pursuant to this Section 13.6, including any “rate creep” that would occur as a result of applications of principal payments (whether voluntary, mandatory, involuntary or otherwise occurring, including without limitation partial prepayments associated with Property Releases and applications of Casualty Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds) and/or upon occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and (iii) Borrower shall not be required to incur any costs or expenses in the performance of its obligations under this Section 13.6(A) other than expenses of Borrower’s counsel, accountants and consultants.

(B) Without limiting Section 13.6(A) above, upon written notice from Lender (each a “Componentization Notice”), the Loan will be deemed to have been divided into multiple Components (or if previously divided into Components, re-allocated to the Components specified by Lender in the most recent Componentization Notice delivered by Lender to Borrower, which shall constitute the Componentization Notice for all purposes hereunder). Each Component shall have such notional balance and interest rate equal to the sum of LIBOR plus such amount as Lender shall specify in such notice (the “Component Spread”), provided that that the sum of the principal balances of all Components shall equal the then-current outstanding principal balance of the Loan, and the weighted average of the Component Spreads, weighted on the basis of their respective principal balances, shall initially equal the percentage set forth in clause (i) of the definition of “Spread”. Borrower shall be treated as the obligor with respect to each of the Components and acknowledges that each Component may be individually beneficially owned by a separate Person. The Components need not be represented by separate physical promissory notes, but if requested by Lender, each Component shall be represented by a separate physical promissory note, in which case the Borrower shall execute and return to the applicable holder each such promissory note in substitution of one or more of the promissory notes constituting the Note, as applicable, in substantially the same form as the Note executed and delivered on the Closing Date (except that the principal balance of such promissory note shall be the principal balance of the applicable Component), promptly following Borrower’s receipt of an execution copy thereof and upon such execution and delivery of such replacement promissory note or notes, Lender shall return the originals of such substituted note or notes to Borrower. Monthly Debt Service Payment Amounts shall be applied to the Components in accordance with Section 2.3(A) and partial prepayments of the Loan shall be applied to the Components in accordance with Section 2.8(E), which may result in “rate creep”. Borrower shall not be required to incur any costs or expenses in the performance of its obligations under this Section 13.6(B) other than expenses of Borrower’s counsel, accountants and consultants.

Section 13.7. Cooperation; Securitization Indemnity.

(A) Borrower and Guarantor agree to cooperate with Lender (and agree to cause their respective officers and representatives to cooperate) in connection with any transfer made or any Securities created pursuant to this Article XIII, including, without limitation, the delivery of an estoppel certificate

Page 116

reasonably required hereunder and such other documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender, and the execution of amendments to this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instruments and other Loan Documents and Borrower’s organizational documents as reasonably requested by Lender; provided, however, that neither Borrower, the other Borrower Parties nor Sponsor Affiliated Manager shall be required to enter into any modification or amendment to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other document, instrument or certificate if such modification, amendment, document, instrument or certificate would adversely affect or diminish the respective rights or increase their respective obligations and liabilities as presently set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, in each case other than to a de minimis extent, and other than resulting from any componentization of the Loan pursuant to Section 13.6, including any “rate creep” that would occur as a result of applications of principal payments (whether voluntary, mandatory, involuntary or otherwise occurring, including without limitation partial prepayments associated with Property Releases and applications of Casualty Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds) and/or upon occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(B) Borrower grants to Lender the right to distribute and disclose in any Disclosure Document, in any promotional or marketing materials that are prepared by or on behalf of Lender in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, in connection with any oral or written presentation made by or on behalf of Lender in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, or as may be reasonably required by any Investors or prospective Investors or any Rating Agency in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction including without limitation to any Investor or any Rating Agency rating securities or the Loan, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Loan, any Borrower Party, any guarantor, any indemnitor, the Collateral and/or the Property, which shall have been furnished by Borrower, any guarantor, any indemnitor, or any party to any Loan Document, or which was otherwise furnished to Lender in connection with the Loan, as Lender in its reasonable discretion determines necessary or desirable. Borrower shall not be required to incur any costs or expenses in the performance of its obligations under this Section 13.7(A) other than expenses of Borrower’s counsel, accountants and consultants.

(C) [Reserved].

Section 13.7), then Borrower, on the one hand, and such indemnified person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient: (x) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to Borrower, on the one hand, and such indemnified person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (y) if the allocation provided by clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (x) but also the relative faults of Borrower, on the one hand, and all indemnified persons, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 13.7, no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other party who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) Lender’s and Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.

(G) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 13.7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 13.7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof (but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party). In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 13.7, such indemnifying party shall pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnifying party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party at the cost of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (plus local and special counsel, as applicable) unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified party. Without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no indemnifying party shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder unless the indemnifying party shall have given Lender reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each indemnified party hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings, and such settlement requires no statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party.

(H) Borrower agrees that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 13.7 shall apply whether or not any indemnified person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any Person that is included in the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group that is not a direct party to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement with respect to this Section 13.7.

Page 119

(I) The indemnities, liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender under this Section 13.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Obligations.

Section 13.8. Resizing; New Mezzanine Option.

(A) Borrower covenants and agrees that after the Closing Date and prior to a Securitization, Lender shall have the right to establish different interest rates and to reallocate the principal balances between the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan and to require the payment of the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender, which may result in varying interest rates, but which shall have the same aggregate initial weighted average interest rate and aggregate principal balance of the original Note and the Mezzanine Note (the “Resizing Option”).Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in Lender’s exercise of the Resizing Option, using commercially reasonable efforts and in a timely manner, which such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, (a) executing such amendments to the Loan Documents and any Individual Borrower’s organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or requested by the Rating Agencies, (b) executing such agreements, instruments and other documents as may be reasonably required by Lender in connection with the Lender’s effectuating of the resizing of the Loan and Mezzanine Loan; and (c) delivering such opinions, title endorsements, UCC title insurance policies, documents and/or instruments relating to any declarations or reciprocal easement agreements affecting the Property and other materials as may be required by Lender or the Rating Agencies; and (iv) delivering an Interest Rate Cap Agreement and related Assignment of Cap for the Loan and the mezzanine loan; provided, however, that neither Borrower, the other Borrower Parties nor Sponsor Affiliated Manager shall be required to enter into any modification or amendment to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other document, instrument or certificate if such modification, amendment, document, instrument or certificate would adversely affect or diminish the respective rights or increase their respective obligations and liabilities as presently set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, in each case other than to a de minimis extent, and other than (x) as affected by the resizing of the relative principal balances and interest rates pursuant to the Resizing Option and the relative senior/subordinate priorities of the resized Loan and Mezzanine Loan resulting therefrom, and (y) resulting from any componentization of the Loan pursuant to Section 13.6, including any “rate creep” that would occur as a result of applications of principal payments (whether voluntary, mandatory, involuntary or otherwise occurring, including without limitation partial prepayments associated with Property Releases and applications of Casualty Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds) and/or upon occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(B) New Mezzanine Option. Lender shall have the option (the “New Mezzanine Option”) at any time to create one or more new mezzanine loans (the “New Mezzanine Loan”), provided, that (i) the total loan amounts for the Loan, the Mezzanine Loan, and the New Mezzanine Loan shall equal the then outstanding amount of the Loan and Mezzanine Loan immediately prior to Lender’s exercise of the New Mezzanine Option, and (ii) the weighted average interest rate of the Loan, Mezzanine Loan, and New Mezzanine Loan shall initially equal the weighted average interest rate of the Loan and Mezzanine Loan. Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in Lender’s exercise of the New Mezzanine Option using commercially reasonable efforts and in a timely manner, which such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, (i) executing such amendments to the Loan Documents and any Individual Borrower’s organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or requested by the Rating Agencies, (ii) newly forming one or more entities satisfying applicable Rating Agency criteria for single-purpose entities (the “New Mezzanine Borrower”), which such New Mezzanine Borrower shall (A) own, directly

Page 120

or indirectly, 100% of the equity ownership interests in Borrower or Mezzanine Borrower (the “Equity Collateral”), and (B) together with such constituent equity owners of such New Mezzanine Borrower as may be reasonably designated by Lender, execute such agreements, instruments and other documents as may be reasonably required by Lender in connection with the New Mezzanine Loan (including, without limitation, a promissory note evidencing the New Mezzanine Loan and a pledge and security agreement pledging the Equity Collateral to Lender as security for the New Mezzanine Loan); and (iii) delivering such opinions, title endorsements, UCC title insurance policies, documents and/or instruments relating to any declarations or reciprocal easement agreements affecting the Property and other materials as may be required by Lender or the Rating Agencies; and (iv) delivering an Interest Rate Cap Agreement and related Assignment of Cap for the Loan and the mezzanine loan; provided, however, that neither Borrower, the other Borrower Parties nor Sponsor Affiliated Manager shall be required to enter into any modification or amendment to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other document, instrument or certificate if such modification, amendment, document, instrument or certificate would adversely affect or diminish the respective rights or increase their respective obligations and liabilities as presently set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, in each case other than to a de minimis extent, and other than (x) as affected by the creation of the New Mezzanine Loan and the resizing of the relative principal balances and interest rates pursuant to the New Mezzanine Loan Option and the relative senior/subordinate priorities of the Loan, Mezzanine Loan and New Mezzanine Loan resulting therefrom, and (y) resulting from any componentization of the Loan pursuant to Section 13.6, including any “rate creep” that would occur as a result of applications of principal payments (whether voluntary, mandatory, involuntary or otherwise occurring, including without limitation partial prepayments associated with Property Releases and applications of Casualty Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds) and/or upon occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(C) Borrower shall not be required to incur any costs or expenses in the performance of its obligations under this Section 13.8 other than expenses of Borrower’s counsel, accountants and consultants.

Section 13.9. REMIC Savings Clause. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Loan or any portion thereof is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the real property relating to the Property, the ratio of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan (or such portion included in the REMIC Trust) to the value of the remaining real property relating to the Property is greater than 125% (such value to be determined, in Lender’s discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust and it being agreed and acknowledged that such loan-to-value determination shall be based on the value of only real property and shall exclude any personal property or going-concern value, if any), the principal balance of the Loan (or such portion included in the REMIC Trust) must be paid down by Borrower by an amount sufficient to satisfy REMIC Requirements, unless the Lender receives a REMIC Opinion that the Loan will not fail to maintain its status as a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the IRC as a result of the related release of lien. For purposes of clarity, no Spread Maintenance Premium shall be due or payable in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this Section 13.9.

Section 13.10. Reliance on Notice of Mezzanine Loan Default; Mezzanine Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount. With respect to the Mezzanine Loan, Lender shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any notice from the Mezzanine Lender concerning the existence, cure or waiver of a Mezzanine Loan Default and the amount of the Mezzanine Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, and shall have no obligation to investigate or independently verify the facts or circumstances described in any such notice or the amount of the Mezzanine Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount or the existence or non-existence of a Mezzanine Loan Default, and Lender shall have no liability to any Individual Borrower, Mezzanine Borrower, Mezzanine Lender or any other Person as a result of Lender’s good faith reliance on any such notice received from Mezzanine Lender.

Page 121

Section 13.11. Co-Lenders.

(A) Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding the fact that the Loan may be serviced by Servicer, prior to a Securitization of the entire Loan, all requests for approval and consents hereunder and in every instance in which Lender’s consent or approval is required, each of Borrower and Guarantor shall be required to obtain the consent and approval of each Co-Lender and all copies of documents, reports, requests and other delivery obligations of Borrower and Guarantor required hereunder shall be delivered by Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, to each Co-Lender.

(B) (i) The liabilities of Lender shall be several and not joint, (ii) no Co-Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Co-Lender, and (iii) each Co-Lender shall be liable to Borrower only for its respective Ratable Share of the Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all indemnities by Borrower and obligations for costs, expenses, damages or advances set forth herein shall run to and benefit each Co-Lender in accordance with its Ratable Share.

(C) Each Co-Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on any other Co-Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of Borrower, Guarantor, and their respective Affiliates and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon any other Co-Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document.

(D) With respect to the enforcement of the rights and remedies of Lender under the Loan Documents upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if at such time there are multiple Co-Lenders holding the Loan, then either:

(i) the Co-Lenders shall exercise such rights and remedies jointly together, or

(ii) the Co-Lenders shall designate from time to time, such designations to be made from time to time in the Co-Lenders’ sole and absolute discretion, one or more servicers or agents (which may be a Co-Lender, applicable servicer or other agent designated by Lender) that shall exercise such rights and remedies under the Loan Documents on behalf of Lender (and all Co-Lenders) such that, with respect to any exercise of applicable rights and remedies at any given time, there shall be a single servicer or agent exercising such rights and remedies as or on behalf of Lender notwithstanding that there may be multiple Co-Lenders holding the Loan.

(E) Borrower acknowledges that the Co-Lenders may from time to time enter into one or more co-lending agreement, intercreditor agreement or similar agreements governing the relationship between such parties with respect to the Loan (“Co-Lender Agreements”). The Co-Lender Agreements are intended solely for the benefit of the Co-Lenders and any other parties thereto, and Borrower acknowledges that neither Borrower nor any of its Affiliates is an intended third-party beneficiary of any Co-Lender Agreement and shall not be entitled to rely on any of the terms or provisions contained therein. No Co-Lender shall have any obligation to disclose to Borrower or any of its Affiliates the contents of any Co-Lender Agreement.

ARTICLE XIV

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 14.1. Expenses and Attorneys’ Fees. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Borrower agrees to promptly pay all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs

Page 122

and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any matters contemplated by or arising out of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and such reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, documentation, closing, administration, servicing, enforcement, interpretation, and collection of the Loan and the Loan Documents, and in the preservation and protection of Lender’s rights hereunder and thereunder, and in response to requests or other matters presented by Borrower, all of which shall be part of the Obligations. By way of example and not limitation, the reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the following shall be included: (a) examination, review, due diligence, investigation, documentation and closing of the transactions evidenced the Loan Documents; (b) any amendments, modifications and waivers relating thereto, whether proposed or consummated; (c) administration of the Loan and Loan Documents, including response to any requests by Borrower; (d) review, documentation, negotiation, closing and administration of any subordination agreements, non-disturbance agreements, Leases, or intercreditor agreements; (e) any action to enforce or interpret this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or to collect any payments due from Borrower or any guarantor or indemnitor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (f) any case or proceeding under Title 11 or any other Title of the United States Code (or any law succeeding or replacing any of the same); and (g) any refinancing or restructuring of the Loan or the Loan Documents, whether in the nature of a “workout,” in connection with any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, or otherwise, and (h) any matter as to which Borrower is obligated to indemnify Lender hereunder. In each case, Lender’s fees, costs and expenses to be reimbursed by Borrower hereunder shall include the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of legal counsel and other professionals retained by Lender, provided, however, that the obligation of Borrower to pay attorneys’ fees pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall not include costs of Lender’s internal “in house” legal personnel. At the Closing, Lender is authorized to pay directly from the proceeds of the Loan any or all of the foregoing fees, costs and expenses then or theretofore incurred. Any costs and expenses due and payable to Lender after the Closing Date may be paid to Lender pursuant to the terms hereof. If Lender so elects, Lender may acquire a tax service contract for the Property, in which case the reasonable costs of the same shall be reimbursed by Borrower

Section 14.2. Indemnity. In addition to Borrower’s obligations to pay reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses as provided elsewhere herein, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Borrower shall indemnify, defend, protect, pay and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, suits, actions, obligations, liabilities, judgments, losses, damages, penalties, Indemnifiable Taxes, Other Taxes, brokerage, leasing, finder’s or similar fees, reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of legal counsel for such Indemnified Parties in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not such Indemnified Parties shall be designated a party thereto) that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party, in any manner relating to or arising out of any of the following, except that Borrower shall not be liable hereunder to any Indemnified Party to the extent the same is caused by such Indemnified Party’s willful misconduct, gross negligence, fraud or illegal acts in the conduct of its activities at or with respect to the Property or the Loan: (a) the negotiation, execution, delivery, performance, administration, ownership, or enforcement of any of the Loan Documents; (b) any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or any ownership of the Security Instruments, the Property or any interest therein, or receipt of any Rents; (c) any breach by any Borrower Party of any representation, warranty, covenant, or other agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents; (d) [Reserved]; (e) Lender’s agreement to make the Loan hereunder; (f) any claim brought by any third party arising out of any condition or occurrence at or pertaining to any Individual Property, including without limitation, any claims and demands for damages or injury, including claims for property damage, personal injury or wrongful death, arising out of or in connection with any accident or fire or other casualty on any Individual Property or any nuisance or trespass made or suffered thereon, (g) any design, construction, operation, repair, maintenance, use, non-use or condition of any Individual Property, including claims or penalties arising from violation of any applicable

Page 123

laws or insurance requirements, as well as any claim based on any patent or latent defect, whether or not discoverable by Lender; (h) any performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of any Individual Property or any part thereof, and any Liens (whether judgments, mechanics’, materialmen’s or otherwise), charges and encumbrances filed against any Individual Property; (i) any contest referred to in Section 7.3; (j) 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; (k) any information provided by or on behalf of any Individual Borrower, or contained in any documentation approved by any Individual Borrower or (l) the use or intended use of the proceeds of any of the Loan. In addition, Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs actually incurred in the investigation, defense, and settlement of Losses incurred in correcting any prohibited transaction or in the sale of a prohibited loan, and in obtaining any individual prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA that may be required, in Lender’s sole discretion) that Lender may incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of a default under Sections 4.17 or 7.20 of this Agreement. Elsewhere herein, Borrower is required to obtain a waiver of subrogation against Lender from its insurance carrier and, consequently, Borrower waives any and all right to claim or recover against Lender or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, Affiliates and attorneys, for loss of or damage to Borrower, the Property, Borrower’s property or the property of others under Borrower’s control from any cause insured against or required to be insured against by the provisions of this Agreement. Any amounts payable to any Indemnified Party by reason of the application of this Section 14.2 shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such loss or damage is sustained by any Indemnified Party until paid. The obligations and liabilities of Borrower under this Section 14.2 shall survive the term of the Loan and the exercise by Lender of any of its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, including the acquisition of any Property by foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, and shall expire upon the expiration of the applicable statute of limitation.

Section 14.3. Actions Affecting Lender’s Interests. Irrespective of whether any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, if any action or proceeding of any kind (including, but not limited to, any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization or other debtor relief proceeding) is commenced which might affect Lender’s interest in the Loan or in all or any part of the Property or the other Collateral, then Lender may, at its option, make any appearances, disburse any funds and take any actions as Lender may deem necessary or appropriate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting Borrower or any Guarantor, or their respective creditors or property, Lender shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as Lender may determine in order to have the claims of Lender allowed in such proceedings for the entire amount of the Obligations. Lender shall have such rights irrespective of whether or not any Event of Default shall have occurred, and whether or not any notice shall have been given to Borrower. No exercise of any such rights shall constitute or give rise to a waiver or cure of any default by Borrower. Borrower shall reimburse Lender within ten (10) days after written demand for all out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements incurred by Lender under this provision, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, together with interest thereon at the same rate as is then applicable to other principal hereunder. Borrower’s obligations under this Section shall survive payment in full of the Obligations.

Section 14.4. Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, or consent to any departure therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender and by the party against whom enforcement is sought. Each amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Borrower Party in any case shall entitle the same or any other Borrower Party or any other Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances (except for any notices as expressly required herein or under the other Loan Documents).

Page 124

Section 14.5. Retention of Borrower’s Documents. Lender may, in accordance with Lender’s customary practices, destroy or otherwise dispose of all documents, schedules, invoices or other papers, delivered by Borrower to Lender unless Borrower requests in writing that same be returned. Upon such request and at Borrower’s expense, Lender shall return such papers when Lender’s actual or anticipated need for same has terminated.

Section 14.6. Notices. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and addressed to the respective party as set forth below. Notices shall be effective (i) three (3) days after the date such notice is mailed, (ii) on the next Business Day if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, (iii) on the date of delivery by personal delivery and (iv) on the date of transmission if sent by telefax during business hours on a Business Day (otherwise on the next Business Day) (with receipt of confirmation).

Section 14.7. Survival of Warranties and Certain Agreements. All agreements, representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of the Loan and the execution and delivery of the Note. Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of Borrower to indemnify or release Lender or Persons related to Lender, or to pay Lender’s costs, expenses, or Taxes shall survive the payment of the Loan, the release of the Security Instrument and the Liens created under the Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 14.8. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege under any of the Loan Documents shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. Failure of consideration of any Borrower Party to another, or nonperformance by any Borrower Party or in favor of another Borrower Party, or any other matter among Borrower Parties, shall not relieve Borrower Parties from, nor in any way serve as a waiver of, any of the obligations of Borrower Parties under any of the Loan Documents.

Section 14.9. Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. Lender shall not be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Person makes a payment or payments to Lender, or Lender enforces its remedies or exercises its rights of set off, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, if any, and rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or set off had not occurred.

Section 14.10. Severability. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in any jurisdiction of any provision in or obligation under this Agreement, the Note or other Loan Documents shall not affect or impair the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations under this Agreement, the Note or other Loan Documents or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction.

Section 14.11. Contact with Tenants. Lender is irrevocably authorized to communicate in any manner regarding any subject with any Tenant. Without limitation, Lender is irrevocably authorized to deliver copies of Loan Documents to any Tenant, and to issue instructions and demands to Tenants regarding payment of Rent in accordance with the rights of Lender under the Loan Documents and applicable law.

Section 14.12. Headings. Headings for sections, subsections, and other parts of this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

Section 14.13. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT WAS NEGOTIATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THE LOAN WAS MADE BY LENDER IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE PROCEEDS OF THE LOAN DELIVERED PURSUANT HERETO WERE DISBURSED

Page 126

FROM THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WHICH STATE THE PARTIES AGREE HAS A SUBSTANTIAL RELATIONSHIP TO THE PARTIES AND TO THE UNDERLYING TRANSACTION EMBODIED HEREBY, AND IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE (WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS) AND ANY APPLICABLE LAW OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, EXCEPT THAT AT ALL TIMES THE PROVISIONS FOR THE CREATION, PERFECTION, AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE LIENS AND SECURITY INTERESTS CREATED PURSUANT HERETO AND PURSUANT TO THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED ACCORDING TO THE LAW OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE APPLICABLE INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY IS LOCATED, IT BEING UNDERSTOOD THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF SUCH STATE, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND ENFORCEABILITY OF ALL LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ALL OF THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BORROWER HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM TO ASSERT THAT THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION GOVERNS THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE AND/OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.

Section 14.14. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower Party may assign its rights or obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents except as expressly provided in Article XI. To the extent that Lender transfers any of its interest under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, then without the necessity of further action by Borrower, Lender shall be released by Borrower from any further liability hereunder and thereunder.

Section 14.15. Sophisticated Parties, Reasonable Terms, No Fiduciary Relationship. Borrower represents and acknowledges that (i) the Borrower Parties are sophisticated real estate investors, familiar with transactions of this kind, and (ii) they have entered into this transaction, and the Loan Documents have been executed and delivered only after the Borrower Parties have conducted their own assessment of the alternatives available to them in the market, and after lengthy negotiations in which they have been represented by competent legal counsel of their choice, and (iii) the rights of Lender under the Loan Documents are reasonable and appropriate, taking into consideration all of the facts and circumstances including without limitation the quantity of the Loan, the nature of the Property, and the risks incurred by Lender in this transaction. No provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents and no course of dealing between the parties shall be deemed to create (i) any partnership or joint venture between Lender and Borrower or any other Person, or (ii) any fiduciary or similar duty by Lender to Borrower or any other Person. The relationship between Lender and Borrower is exclusively the relationship of a creditor and a debtor, and all relationships between Lender and any other Borrower Party are ancillary to such creditor/debtor relationship.

Page 127

Section 14.16. Reasonableness of Determinations. In any instance where any consent, approval, determination or other action by Lender is, pursuant to the Loan Documents or applicable law, required to be done reasonably or required not to be unreasonably withheld, then Lender’s action shall be presumed to be reasonable, and Borrower shall bear the burden of proof of showing that the same was not reasonable. In all cases Lender shall be conclusively deemed to be acting reasonably when implementing any standard or requirement of any applicable Rating Agency. If a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where, by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment and the right to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in such action if Borrower prevails in such action. Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.

Section 14.17. Limitation of Liability. Anything to the contrary anywhere in the Loan Documents notwithstanding, Borrower agrees (i) that no Borrower Party shall sue Lender or any Affiliate of Lender for punitive, speculative or consequential damages in respect of any claim or liability in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the Loan, the Property, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and (ii) that they shall not in any event for any reason sue any of Lender’s or Lender’s Affiliate’s officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents. Borrower on behalf of itself and anyone claiming by, through or under Borrower, hereby forever releases Lender, its Affiliates, and their officers, directors, employees, attorneys, and agents from the matters for which Borrower has agreed not to sue.

Section 14.18. No Liability for Consents and Approvals. Lender’s consent to or acceptance or approval of any matter shall not relieve Borrower from any obligation with respect to such matter (such as, for example, the obligation that the same shall comply with Legal Requirements). Any such consent, acceptance or approval is for Lender’s purposes only. Borrower shall not rely on Lender’s consent, acceptance or approval for any purpose in evaluating the subject matter. No such consent, acceptance or approval shall comprise any part of the basis of any liability on the part of Lender. By way of example only, by consenting to or accepting or approving any item that may be delivered to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents (including, but not limited to, any Authorized Officer’s Certificate, Financial Statements, survey, appraisal, insurance policy, plans, specifications, or reports), Lender shall not incur any liability whatsoever to Borrower or to anyone claiming by, through or under Borrower.

Section 14.19. No Duty. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, and other professional Persons and consultants retained by Lender shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of Lender and shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or obligation of any type or nature whatsoever to any Borrower Party or Affiliates thereof, or any other Person.

Section 14.20. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Note, and the other Loan Documents referred to herein embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto. There are no oral agreements among the parties to the Loan Documents.

Section 14.21. Construction as Mutually Drafted. Borrower Parties and Lender acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by Borrower and Lender.

Page 128

Section 14.22. Supremacy of Loan Agreement. The Loan Documents shall be read together so as to give effect to all provisions of all of them. Nonetheless, if any term, condition or provision of this Agreement shall contradict or be irreconcilably inconsistent with any term, condition or provision of any other Loan Document, then this Agreement shall control.

Section 14.23. Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process. ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST LENDER OR BORROWER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY AT LENDER’S OPTION BE INSTITUTED IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, COUNTY OF NEW YORK, PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW AND BORROWER WAIVES ANY OBJECTIONS WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE BASED ON VENUE AND/OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

BORROWER AND LENDER AGREE NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THAT THEY MAY LAWFULLY DO SO, HEREBY FOREVER AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY TORT ACTION, BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY HERETO WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. LENDER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THIS PARAGRAPH, IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER.

Borrower agrees that any claim or cause of action by Borrower or anyone claiming by, through or under Borrower against Lender, or any of Lender’s directors, officers, employees, agents, accountants or attorneys, in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the Loan, the Property, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, whether sounding in contract or in tort or otherwise, shall be barred unless asserted by the commencement of an action or proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction by the filing of a complaint within one year after Borrower first acquires or reasonably should have acquired knowledge of the first act, occurrence or omission upon which such claim or cause of action, or any part thereof, is based and service of a summons and complaint on an officer of Lender or any other person authorized to accept service of process on behalf of Lender, within thirty (30) days thereafter. Borrower agrees that such one-year period of time is reasonable and sufficient time to investigate and act upon any such claim or cause of action. The one-year period provided herein shall not be waived, tolled or extended except by the specific written agreement of Lender. This provision shall survive any termination of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

Section 14.26. Counterparts; Effectiveness. The Loan Documents and any amendments, waivers, consents, or supplements thereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto, upon the first advance of principal by Lender to Borrower hereunder.

Section 14.27. Servicer; Trust Fund Expenses; Rating Agency Costs.

(A) Lender shall have the right from time to time to designate and appoint one or more Servicers, and to change or replace any Servicer. All rights of the Lender under the Loan Documents may be exercised by Servicer. Servicer shall be entitled to the benefit of all obligations of any of Borrower Party in favor of Lender. Borrower shall pay all of the reasonable fees and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Servicer upon written demand from Lender.

(B) Borrower shall pay to Lender, or reimburse Lender for, all Trust Fund Expenses, including without limitation all Trust Fund Expenses arising with respect to or in connection with the Loan, the Property and/or the related trust fund or other Securitization vehicle.

Section 14.28. Attorney-In-Fact. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact. This power of attorney shall be irrevocable so long as any Obligations remain outstanding under the Loan Documents, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, shall survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Borrower, and shall not be affected by any disability or incapacity suffered by Borrower subsequent to the date hereof. Lender shall have the right and power, without the obligation to do so, in Lender’s name or in the name of Borrower, to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments and perform any and all acts that are required of Borrower hereunder or that otherwise serve the purpose of providing to Lender the full benefit of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limitation, but subject to the provisions of the Loan Documents, Lender is hereby granted full power and authority (i) to demand, collect and receive any Receipts and any Insurance Proceeds and

Page 130

Section 14.29. Time of the Essence. Time is strictly of the essence with respect to all provisions of this Agreement.

Section 14.30. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. No Persons other than the express parties to this Agreement shall have any rights hereunder, and no Person shall be a third party beneficiary hereof.

Section 14.31. Borrower Responsible for Obligations of Borrower Parties. Where this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents sets forth any requirement pertaining to any Borrower Party, then the failure of such requirement to be satisfied shall constitute a Default hereunder, binding on Borrower, whether or not the subject Borrower Party is a party hereto or thereto, whether or not such Borrower Party is contractually bound by that requirement, and whether or not Borrower has the power to cause or influence compliance or noncompliance with such requirement. Without limitation of the foregoing, any such Default may become an Event of Default in the time provided in Article IX herein as if the same were a requirement pertaining to Borrower, without extension of time by reason of the inability of Borrower to cause performance or cure by the applicable Borrower Party. Where this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents provides that any act, omission, condition or event pertaining to any Borrower Party shall result in recourse liability to Borrower, then such recourse liability shall occur, whether or not the subject Borrower Party is a party hereto or thereto, whether or not such Borrower Party is bound by that provision, and whether or not Borrower has the power to cause or influence the occurrence or cure of the matter giving rise to such liability.

Section 14.32. Guaranty and Environmental indemnity Unsecured. Anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere notwithstanding, the Guaranty and the Obligations of Guarantor (as opposed to Borrower) under the Environmental Indemnity and all obligations of Guarantor arising under any of them, including the obligations of Guarantor incorporated therein from this Agreement by reference, are not and shall not be secured in any manner whatsoever, including by any Security Instrument or by any Lien on any Collateral.

Section 14.33. Multiple Parties Provisions; Joint and Several Liability.

(A) The representations, covenants, warranties and obligations of Borrower hereunder are joint and several representations, covenants, warranties and obligations of each and every Individual Borrower. Without limitation of the foregoing, the obligations and liabilities of each Individual Borrower hereunder shall be joint and several with each and every other Individual Borrower, and all representations, warranties, covenants (both affirmative and negative) and all other obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be the joint and several obligation of each Individual Borrower and any default by any Individual Borrower shall be deemed a default by such Individual Borrower and each and every other Individual Borrower. The representations, covenants and warranties contained herein or in any other Loan Documents shall be read to apply to each Individual Borrower when the context so requires but a breach of any such representation, covenant or warranty or a breach of any obligation under the Loan Documents by any Individual Borrower shall be deemed a breach by each and every Individual Borrower.

Page 131

(B) Funds advanced by Lender to or at the direction of any Individual Borrower shall be deemed advanced to or for the benefit of all of the Borrowers.

(C) Any notice delivered to any Individual Borrower shall be binding on all Borrower Parties as if delivered to all of them.

(D) Any waiver given, request made, forbearance extended, or right, election or option exercised by any Borrower Party shall bind all of the Borrower Parties as if the same were done by or on behalf of all of them.

(E) Lender shall be entitled to rely on any Person reasonably believed by Lender to be acting on behalf of any Individual Borrower, and the Borrower shall be bound by any such reliance.

Section 14.34. Registration.

(A) Borrower hereby acknowledges and makes the Note a registered obligation for United States withholding tax purposes. Lender or its designee (which may include the Servicer), as Borrower’s non-fiduciary agent for this purpose, or, in Lender’s sole discretion, the Borrower, shall be the registrar for the Note (the “Registrar”).

(B) The Registrar shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lender and any Assignees of all or any portion of Lender’s interest in the Loan (collectively, “Loan Assignees”), and the principal amount of the Loan (and stated interest thereon) (the “Registered Loan”) held by Lender and each Loan Assignee from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, Lender and the Loan Assignees shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Registrar shall not be entitled to any fee from Borrower or Lender or any other lender in respect of transfers of the Note and other Loan Documents.

(C) If a Co-Lender sells participations, such Co-Lender shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and the address of each participant (“Participant”) and the principal amounts of each Participant’s participation interest in the Loan (or other rights or obligations) held by it (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Co-Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation interest as the owner thereof for all purposes notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. In maintaining the Participant Register, such Co-Lender shall be acting as the non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower solely for purposes of applicable United States federal income tax law and undertakes no duty, responsibility or obligation to the Borrower (without limitation, in no event shall such Co-Lender be a fiduciary of the Borrower for any purpose. Such Co-Lender shall have no obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

Section 14.35. Contributions and Waivers.

(A) As a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Individual Borrower will benefit, directly and indirectly, from each Individual Borrower’s obligation to pay and perform the Obligations and in consideration therefore each Individual Borrower desires to enter into an allocation and contribution agreement among themselves as set forth in this Section to allocate such benefits among themselves and to provide a fair and equitable agreement to make contributions among each of the Individual Borrowers in the event any payment is made by any Individual Borrower hereunder to Lender (such payment being referred to herein as a “Contribution,” and for purposes of this Section, includes any exercise of recourse by Lender against any Individual Property of any Individual Borrower and application of proceeds of such Individual Property in satisfaction of such Individual Borrower’s obligations to Lender under the Loan Documents).

(B) Each Individual Borrower shall be liable hereunder with respect to the Obligations only for such total maximum amount (if any) that would not render its Obligations hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of applicable Legal Requirements.

(C) In order to provide for a fair and equitable contribution among Borrower in the event that any Contribution is made by any Individual Borrower (a “Funding Borrower”), such Funding Borrower shall be entitled to a reimbursement Contribution (“Reimbursement Contribution”) from all other Individual Borrowers for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Borrower in discharging any of the Obligations, in the manner and to the extent set forth in this Section.

(D) For purposes hereof, the “Benefit Amount” of any Individual Borrower as of any date of determination shall be the net value of the benefits to such Individual Borrower and its Affiliates from extensions of credit made by Lender to (i) such Individual Borrower and (ii) to the other Individual Borrowers hereunder and the Loan Documents to the extent such other Individual Borrowers have guaranteed or mortgaged their property to secure the Obligations of such Individual Borrower to Lender.

(E) Each Individual Borrower shall be liable to a Funding Borrower in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the (A) ratio of the Benefit Amount of such Individual Borrower to the total amount of Obligations, multiplied by (B) the amount of Obligations paid by such Funding Borrower, or (ii) ninety-five percent (95%) of the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Individual Borrower over the total liabilities of such Individual Borrower (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities) determined as of the date on which the payment made by a Funding Borrower is deemed made for purposes hereof (giving effect to all payments made by other Funding Borrowers as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such Contributions).

(F) In the event that at any time there exists more than one Funding Borrower with respect to any Contribution (in any such case, the “Applicable Contribution”), then Reimbursement Contributions from other Individual Borrowers pursuant hereto shall be allocated among such Funding Borrowers in proportion to the total amount of the Contribution made for or on account of the other Individual Borrowers by each such Funding Borrower pursuant to the Applicable Contribution. In the event that at any time any Individual Borrower pays an amount hereunder in excess of the amount calculated pursuant to this Section above, that Individual Borrower shall be deemed to be a Funding Borrower to the extent of such excess and shall be entitled to a Reimbursement Contribution from the other Individual Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of this Section.

Page 133

(G) Each Individual Borrower acknowledges that the right to Reimbursement Contribution hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of Borrower to which such Reimbursement Contribution is owing.

(H) No Reimbursement Contribution payments payable by an Individual Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Section shall be paid until all amounts then due and payable by all of Individual Borrowers to Lender, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, are paid in full in cash. Nothing contained in this Section shall limit or affect in any way the Obligations of any Individual Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents.

(I) Each Individual Borrower waives:

(i) any right to require Lender to proceed against any other Individual Borrower or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Lender at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Lender’s power before proceeding against such Individual Borrower;

(ii) any defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of any other Individual Borrower, any guarantor of any other Person or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of any other Individual Borrower or any guarantor from any cause other than full payment of all sums payable under the Loan Documents;

(iii) any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any other Individual Borrower or any principal of any other Individual Borrower or any defect in the formation of any other Individual Borrower or any principal of any other Individual Borrower;

(iv) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal;

(v) any defense based upon any failure by Lender to obtain collateral for the indebtedness or failure by Lender to perfect a lien on any collateral;

(vi) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind;

(vii) any defense based upon any failure of Lender to give notice of sale or other disposition of any collateral to any other Individual Borrower or to any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of any collateral;

(viii) any defense based upon any failure of Lender to comply with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral, including any failure of Lender to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any collateral;

(ix) any defense based upon any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code;

(x) any defense based upon any agreement or stipulation entered into by Lender with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding;

(xi) any defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code;

Page 134

(xii) any defense based upon the avoidance of any security interest in favor of Lender for any reason;

(xiii) any defense based upon any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the obligations evidenced by the Note or owing under any of the Loan Documents;

(xiv) any defense or benefit based upon such Individual Borrower’s, or any other party’s, resignation of the portion of any obligation secured by the Security Instrument to be satisfied by any payment from any other Individual Borrower or any such party;

(xv) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender even though the election of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Loan or any other amounts owing under the Loan Documents, has destroyed such Individual Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any other Individual Borrower; and

(xvi) all rights and defenses that such Individual Borrower may have because any of the Loan is secured by real property. This means, among other things (subject to the other terms and conditions of the Loan Documents): (1) Lender may collect from such Individual Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any other Individual Borrower, and (2) if Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by any other Individual Borrower, (I) the amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price and (II) Lender may collect from such Individual Borrower even if any other Individual Borrower, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right such Individual Borrower may have to collect from any other Individual Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses such Individual Borrower may have because any of the Obligations are secured by real property; and except as may be expressly and specifically permitted herein, any claim or other right which such Individual Borrower might now have or hereafter acquire against any other Individual Borrower or any other Person that arises from the existence or performance of any obligations under the Loan Documents, including any of the following: (i) any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification; or (ii) any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Lender against any other Borrower or any collateral security therefor, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law.

(J) Each Individual Borrower hereby restates and makes the waivers made by Guarantor in the Guaranty for the benefit of Lender. Such waivers are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein (and as if applicable to each Individual Borrower) and shall be effective for all purposes under the Loan (including, without limitation, in the event that any Individual Borrower is deemed to be a surety or guarantor of the Loan (by virtue of each Individual Borrower being co-obligors and jointly and severally liable hereunder, by virtue of each Individual Borrower encumbering its interest in the applicable Individual Property for the benefit or debts of the other Individual Borrowers in connection herewith or otherwise)).

Section 14.36. Cross-Default; Cross-Collateralization. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of its collective interest in the Property and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Individual Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each Individual Property taken separately. Borrower agrees that each of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Security Instruments) are and will be cross collateralized and cross defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Loan Documents; (ii) an Event of Default hereunder shall constitute an Event of Default under each Security Instrument; (iii) each Security Instrument shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Individual Properties as security for the Note; and (iv) such cross collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance and Borrower waives any claims related thereto.

Page 135

Section 14.37. EU Bail-In Rule. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(A) the application of any EEA Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(B) the effects of any EEA Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the EEA Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

Section 14.38. Brokers and Advisors. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no agreement, arrangement or dealings by or between Borrower or Guarantor with any broker or intermediary creates any right of broker or intermediary to bind Lender, and that Lender shall not be responsible for any undertaking, assurance, information or advice given to Borrower by any broker or intermediary, irrespective of whether such entity is compensated by Lender or by Borrower. Borrower acknowledges that Lender may pay fees to one or more brokers or intermediaries in addition to any fees that are paid by Borrower or Lender at closing. The fees may include a direct, one-time payment, incentive payments based on volume and size of financings, profit-sharing payments, and/or an ongoing interest strip in the Loan. In addition, any such broker or intermediary may be retained by Lender to act as a servicer or sub-servicer for the Loan, in which case such entity will receive fees relating to that activity, and may receive compensation if a buyout of such servicing or sub-servicing may occur.

Section 14.39. Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:

(A) the right to routinely consult with and advise Borrower’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower; provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances. Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice; and

Page 136

(B) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to approve any acquisition by any Individual Borrower of any other significant property (other than personal property required for the day to day operation of the applicable Individual Property).

The rights described above in this Section 14.39 may be exercised by any entity which owns and controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in any Co-Lender.
