ARTICLE 2

GENERAL TERMS

Section 2.1 The Loan

Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender hereby agrees to make, and Borrower hereby agrees to accept, the Loan on the Closing Date.

Section 2.2 Disbursement to Borrower

Borrower may request and receive only one borrowing in respect of the Loan and any amount borrowed and repaid in respect of the Loan may not be reborrowed.

Section 2.3 The Note, Mortgage and Loan Documents

The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note and this Agreement and secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

Section 2.4 Interest Rate

(a) General. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue at the Interest Rate from the Closing Date through and including the last day of the Interest Accrual Period during which the Maturity Date occurs. Except as otherwise set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents, interest shall be paid in arrears.

(b) Unavailability of LIBOR Rate. Subject to Section 2.4(g), in the event that Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate (and LIBOR has not been succeeded by an Alternate Index as set forth in Section 2.4(g) below), then Lender shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the last day of the related Interest Accrual Period. If such notice is given, the Loan, commencing with the first (1st) day of the next succeeding Interest Accrual Period, shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan bearing interest based on the Base Rate Interest Rate in effect on the related Determination Date, and thereafter the Interest Rate shall be the Base Rate Interest Rate.

If, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Loan has been converted to a Base Rate Loan and thereafter: (i) Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower, and the Base Rate Interest Rate shall convert to the LIBOR Rate effective on the first (1st) day of the next succeeding Interest Accrual Period; or (ii) if LIBOR cannot be determined and has been succeeded by an Alternate Index pursuant to Section 2.4(g) below, then Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower and convert the Base Rate Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan by delivering to Borrower notice of such conversion no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City Time), three (3) Business Days prior to the next succeeding Determination Date, in which event the Base Rate Loan shall be converted to an Alternate Rate Loan from, after and including the first day of the next succeeding Interest Accrual Period. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to elect to convert a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, or to convert a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan or an Alternate Rate Loan.

(c) Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate and all references in the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the “Interest Rate” shall be deemed to refer to the Default Rate. Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the earlier of (i) the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then

due) and (ii) the cure of such Event of Default. To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Mortgage. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default; the acceptance of any payment from Borrower shall not be deemed to cure or constitute a waiver of any Event of Default; and Lender retains its rights under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, despite any payment by Borrower to Lender.

(d) Interest Calculation. Interest shall be computed based on the daily rate produced assuming a three hundred sixty (360) day year, multiplied by the actual number of days elapsed during each Interest Accrual Period. Borrower understands and acknowledges that such interest accrual method results in more interest accruing on the Loan than if either a thirty (30) day month and a three hundred sixty (360) day year or the actual number of days and a three hundred sixty five (365) day year were used to compute the accrual of interest on the Loan. Lender shall determine the Interest Rate applicable to the Debt in accordance with this Agreement and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The books and records of Lender shall be prima facie evidence of all sums owing to Lender from time to time under this Agreement, but the failure to record any such information shall not limit or affect the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents.

(e) Selected Day and Securitization Closing Date; Securitization Interest Adjustments. (i) Lender may in its sole discretion designate the Securitization Closing Date by providing not less than twenty-four (24) hours prior notice to Borrower. Lender may in its sole discretion designate a day of the calendar month as the Selected Day for purposes of establishing, in accordance with the definition of “Interest Accrual Period”, the beginning and ending dates of the Interest Accrual Period that commences in the month in which the Securitization Closing Date occurs (and, to the extent contemplated in the definition of Interest Accrual Period, the prior month) and each Interest Accrual Period thereafter. In lieu of such designation, Lender may elect that the Interest Accrual Period with respect to the first Payment Date after the Securitization Closing Date and each Payment Date thereafter shall be the calendar month preceding such Payment Date. The designation of the Selected Day or election of calendar-month Interest Accrual Periods shall be a one-time event; once made, such designation or election shall apply for purposes of establishing, in accordance with the definition of “Interest Accrual Period”, the beginning and ending dates of the Interest Accrual Period that commences in the month in which the Securitization Closing Date occurs (and, to the extent contemplated in the definition of Interest Accrual Period, the prior month) and each Interest Accrual Period thereafter.

(ii) With respect to any portion of any Interest Accrual Period that also comprises all or any portion of a Securitization Initialization Period, if the amount of interest payable by Borrower hereunder (based on the Interest Rate using LIBOR as of the applicable Determination Date) is less than the amount of interest which would be payable if the Interest Rate were determined using the Securitization Initialization Period LIBOR in lieu of LIBOR (such deficiency being the “Securitization Interest Adjustment Amount” for such Interest

Accrual Period), then Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Payment Date related to any such Interest Accrual Period (or, if such Payment Date occurred prior to the Securitization Closing Date, then on the next succeeding Payment Date) the Securitization Interest Adjustment Amount.

(iii) Similarly, if Lender exercises its option pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2.4(e) to elect calendar Interest Accrual Periods for Payment Dates after the Securitization Closing Date, in respect of any portion of the first such calendar Interest Accrual Period that overlaps with an Interest Accrual Period with respect to which a payment was already made on a prior Payment Date, in respect of the number of days of overlap, Borrower shall be credited with the interest already paid and, on the first Payment Date after the Securitization Closing Date, shall be obligated to pay in respect of such overlapping days only an amount equal to the greater of (A)(1) the amount of interest accrued for such overlapping days using LIBOR as determined two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of the month prior to the Securitization Month minus (2) the amount of interest accrued for such overlapping days using the LIBOR determined as of the Determination Date in the month prior to the Securitization Month and (B) zero.

(iv) In the event that Lender changes the Selected Day to a day pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2.4(e) to a day that is earlier in the month than the Selected Day as previously defined, then, with respect to the first Payment Date after the Securitization Closing Date and the portion (if any) of the applicable Interest Accrual Period that does not overlap with the Securitization Initialization Period, if Borrower has already paid the amount of interest it owed in respect of such non-overlapping portion as calculated prior to such change in the Selected Day on the most recent Payment Date prior to such change in the Selected Day, then Borrower shall not owe any further amount of interest in respect of such non-overlapping portion.

(f) Usury Savings. This Agreement and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum nonusurious interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received on the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and as provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents, under the laws of such state or states whose laws are held by any court of competent jurisdiction to govern the interest rate provisions of the Loan (such rate, the “Maximum Legal Rate”). If, by the terms of the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due on the Loan at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder (and any such payments shall not require the payment of a Spread Maintenance Premium or any other prepayment premium). All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

(g) If at any time the Loan is outstanding as a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Base Rate Loan and Lender has determined in good faith that LIBOR cannot be determined and LIBOR has been succeeded by an Alternate Index, then the Loan shall be converted from a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Base Rate Loan, as applicable, to an Alternate Rate Loan, provided that Lender shall have received (i) an opinion of nationally recognized REMIC counsel as to the compliance of such conversion with applicable REMIC requirements as determined under the Code, the regulations, revenue rulings, revenue procedures and other administrative, legislative and judicial guidance relating to the tax treatment of REMIC Trusts (which such opinion shall be, in form and substance and from a provider, in each case, acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion and acceptable to the Rating Agencies), (ii) a Rating Agency Confirmation in connection with such conversion, and (iii) evidence satisfactory to Lender that such conversion does not violate ERISA. Lender shall provide notice of the foregoing conversion by giving notice of such determination in writing to Borrower at least five (5) 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 Accrual Period, to an Alternate Rate Loan. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to convert a LIBOR Rate Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan, or to convert an Alternate Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Base Rate Loan.

If, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Loan has been converted to an Alternate Rate Loan and, thereafter, such Alternate Index cannot be determined, then Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower and convert the Alternate Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan by delivering to Borrower notice of such conversion no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City Time), three (3) Business Days prior to the next succeeding Determination Date, in which event the Alternate Rate Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan from, after and including the first day of the next succeeding Interest Accrual Period. If the Loan has been converted from an Alternate Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to the foregoing and, thereafter, Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower, and the Base Rate Interest Rate shall convert to the Alternate Rate Interest Rate effective on the first (1st) day of the next succeeding Interest Accrual 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 Base Rate Loan.

Section 2.5 Loan Payments

(a) Payment Before Maturity. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender interest for the Interim Interest Accrual Period and on each Payment Date thereafter through and including the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender all interest that has accrued or will accrue during the Interest Accrual Period in which such Payment Date (or Maturity Date, as applicable) occurs.

(b) Payment on Maturity. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

(c) Extension of the Maturity Date. Borrower shall have the option to extend the term of the Loan beyond the Initial Maturity Date for five (5) successive terms of one (1) year each (each, an “Extension Option”) to (v) the Payment Date occurring in June 2021, (w) the Payment Date occurring in June 2022, (x) the Payment Date occurring in June 2023, (y) the Payment Date occurring in June 2024 and (z) the Payment Date occurring in June 2025 (each such date, an “Extended Maturity Date” and each such one-year period an “Extension Term”), respectively, and, as to each Extension Option, upon satisfaction of the following terms and conditions:

(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the applicable Extension Option is exercised and on the date that the applicable extension term is commenced;

(ii) Borrower shall notify Lender of its irrevocable election to extend the Maturity Date as aforesaid not earlier than three (3) months, and no later than one (1) month, prior to the then applicable Maturity Date;

(iii) Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender prior to the commencement of such Extension Term, a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, which Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be effective commencing on the first day following the end of the Interest Accrual Period in which such Extension Term commences and shall have a term extending through and including the end of the Interest Accrual Period in which the Maturity Date, as extended, falls; provided, however, the confirmation evidencing such Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, any guaranty or guaranties therefor, the executed counterparts to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any opinion from counsel to the Acceptable Counterparty may be delivered within a reasonable period of time after the commencement of such Extension Term;

(iv) the Senior Mezzanine Loan shall have been extended in accordance with the terms of the Senior Mezzanine Loan Agreement;

(v) the Junior Mezzanine Loan shall have been extended in accordance with the terms of the Junior Mezzanine Loan Agreement;

(vi) in connection with the exercise of each of the fourth and fifth Extension Options, the LIBOR margin, Alternate Rate Spread or Base Rate Spread, as applicable, shall be increased by 0.125% for each such Extension Option;

(vii) in connection with (A) the exercise of the fourth Extension Option, the Debt Yield as of the end of the third Extension Term shall be at least 9.81% and (B) the exercise of the fifth Extension Option, the Debt Yield as of the end of the fourth Extension Term shall be at least 9.81% in each case, provided that Borrower may prepay the Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the purposes of satisfying the Debt Yield required under this subclause 2.5(c)(vii); and

(viii) Borrower shall have paid all of Lender’s reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, in connection with Borrower’s exercise of each applicable Extension Option; provided, however,

Borrower shall not be required to pay any consent, processing, administrative or similar fee in connection with Borrower’s exercise of any Extension Option.

All references in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents to the Maturity Date shall mean the applicable Extended Maturity Date in the event the applicable Extension Option is exercised.

(d) Application of Payments. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, all monthly payments made as scheduled pursuant to this Agreement and the Note shall be applied first to the payment of interest computed at the Interest Rate, and the balance toward the reduction of the principal amount of the Debt (and, in connection with any New Mezzanine Loan or any Loan Bifurcation, be applied sequentially among any components within such New Mezzanine Loan or Loan Bifurcation). All voluntary and involuntary prepayments on the Debt shall be applied, to the extent thereof, to accrued but unpaid interest on the amount prepaid, to the outstanding principal amount, and any other sums due and unpaid to the Lender in connection with the Loan, in such manner and order as Lender may elect in its sole and absolute discretion, including, but not limited to, application to principal installments in inverse order of maturity. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payment made on the Debt shall be applied to accrued but unpaid interest, late charges, accrued fees, the unpaid principal amount of the Debt, and any other sums due and unpaid to Lender in connection with the Loan, in such manner and order as Lender may elect in its sole and absolute discretion.

(e) Method and Place of Payment.

(i) Each payment by Borrower hereunder shall be made to Lender at its offices or at such other place as Lender may designate from time to time in writing.

(ii) All payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 2:00 P.M., New York City time.

(iii) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day preceding such Payment Date.

(iv) All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction for, any setoff, defense or counterclaims.

(v) Remittances in payment of any part of the indebtedness other than in the required amount in immediately available U.S. funds shall not, regardless of any receipt or credit issued therefor, constitute payment until the required amount is actually received by the holder hereof in immediately available U.S. funds and shall be made and accepted subject to the condition that any check or draft may be handled for collection in accordance with the practices of the collecting bank or banks.

(f) Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or other payment due under the Loan Documents (other than the outstanding principal amount of the Loan due on the

Maturity Date) is not paid by Borrower on or prior to the date the same is due (after taking into account the payment date convention set forth in Section 2.5(e) hereof) (or such greater period, if any, required by applicable Legal Requirements), Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of four percent (4%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable Legal Requirements in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(g) Additional Payment Provisions.

(i) If at any time after the date hereof, Lender (which shall include, for purposes of this Section, any corporation controlling Lender and any participant of Lender’s rights hereunder) reasonably determines that due to the adoption or modification of any Legal Requirement regarding taxation, Lender’s required levels of reserves, deposits, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance or capital (including any allocation of capital requirements or conditions), or similar requirements, or any interpretation or administration thereof by any Tribunal or compliance of Lender with any of such requirements, has or would have the effect of (A) increasing Lender’s costs relating to the Loan, or (B) reducing the yield or rate of return of Lender on the Loan, to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for the adoption or modification of any such Legal Requirements, Borrower shall, within fifteen (15) days of any request by Lender, pay to Lender such additional amounts as (in Lender’s sole judgment, after good faith and reasonable computation) will compensate Lender for such increase in costs or reduction in yield or rate of return of Lender (a “Consequential Loss”). No failure by Lender to immediately demand payment of any additional amounts payable hereunder shall constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to demand payment of such amounts at any subsequent time. Nothing herein contained shall be construed or so operate as to require Borrower to pay any interest, fees, costs or charges greater than is permitted by applicable law.

(ii) If any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a Loan with the Interest Rate being based on LIBOR as contemplated hereunder, (A) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make such Loan based on LIBOR or to convert the Loan from the Base Rate Interest Rate to the LIBOR Rate shall be canceled forthwith and (B) any outstanding LIBOR Rate Loan shall be converted automatically to a loan bearing interest at the Base Rate Interest Rate on the next succeeding Payment Date 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 costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the LIBOR Rate Loan hereunder. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.5(g)(ii), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than ninety (90) days written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional costs. Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iii) If any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:

shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR (or the Alternate Index, as applicable) hereunder,

shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material;

shall subject Lender to any Taxes (other than (I) Indemnified Taxes, (II) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (III) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, or other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition (other than Taxes);

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material as determined by Lender. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.5(g)(iii), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than ninety (90) days written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

(iv) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (A) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on a LIBOR Rate Loan or Alternate Rate Loan, including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan or Alternate Rate Loan hereunder, (B) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the LIBOR Rate Loan or the Alternate Rate Loan that did not include all interest which had accrued (or would have accrued) at the Interest Rate through the end of the related Interest Accrual Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Rate Loan or the Alternate Rate Loan hereunder, and (C) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether

voluntary or involuntary) of the Interest Rate from the LIBOR Rate or Base Rate Interest Rate to the Alternate Rate Interest Rate or with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate on a date other than the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Accrual Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan or Alternate Rate Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (A), (B) and (C) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”). 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.

(v) Within fifteen (15) days after request by Lender (or at the time of any prepayment), Borrower shall pay to Lender such amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for any loss, cost, expense, penalty, claim or liability, including any loss incurred in obtaining, prepaying, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds from third parties and any loss of yield, as determined by Lender in its judgment reasonably exercised incurred by it with respect to the Loan as a result of the payment or prepayment of any amount on a date other than the date such amount is required or permitted to be paid or prepaid; provided that Lender delivers to Borrower a certificate as to the amounts of such costs described herein, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Lender shall have no obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the funding or maintaining of the Loan or any portion thereof. The obligations of Borrower under this Section shall survive any termination of the Loan Documents and payment of the Note and shall not be waived by any delay by Lender in seeking such compensation.

Section 2.6 Loan Prepayments

(a) Voluntary. Except as otherwise expressly permitted under this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.9 hereof, no voluntary prepayments, whether in whole or in part, of the Loan or any other amount at any time due and owing under this Agreement can be made by Borrower or any other Person without the express prior written consent of Lender, and Lender shall have no obligation to accept any prepayment except when made in accordance with the terms hereof. Borrower may, on any Business Day at its option and upon giving Lender not less than thirty (30) (and not more than ninety (90)) days prior written notice (such notice being revocable or may be modified by Borrower on at least two (2) Business Days prior written notice to Lender provided Borrower pays all of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the notice of prepayment), prepay the Loan (i) on or before the Spread Maintenance Date, in whole or in part, with payment of the Spread Maintenance Premium on that portion of the Loan which exceeds an amount equal to the Free Prepayment Amount, and (ii) after the Spread Maintenance Date, in whole or in part, without payment of any premium, fee or penalty. Any prepayment shall include the payment of all additional amounts required to be paid by Borrower and all other amounts owing by Borrower to Lender under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, (A) any Breakage Costs incurred by Lender in connection with the cancellation or termination of a LIBOR (or the Alternate Index, as applicable) or swap contract entered into in connection with the Loan, and (B) Compensating Interest; provided, however, Borrower shall not be required to pay any consent, processing, administrative or similar fee in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.6(a). As a condition to any prepayment contemplated by this Section 2.6(a), Borrower shall have

delivered evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Senior Mezzanine Loan and Junior Mezzanine Loan are simultaneously being prepaid on a pro-rata basis in accordance with the terms of the Senior Mezzanine Loan Agreement and Junior Mezzanine Loan Agreement, respectively.

(b) Mandatory. Borrower shall prepay the Loan in an amount equal to all Net Proceeds which, pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.5(c) hereof, Lender elects to retain and apply toward the reduction of the principal amount of the Debt. Any such prepayment shall be held by Lender and applied on the next Payment Date. Borrower shall not be required to pay a Spread Maintenance Premium or any other prepayment premium in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.6(b).

(c) Application of Prepayments. Upon any voluntary prepayment of the Loan in accordance with the terms hereof (other than a paydown pursuant to Section 2.9 hereof, which such paydown shall be calculated in accordance with Section 2.9(d) hereof), each Allocated Loan Amount shall be decreased by an amount equal to the product of (x) the amount of such payment and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the applicable Allocated Loan Amount (prior to the adjustment in question) and the denominator of which is the total of all Allocated Loan Amounts (prior to the adjustment in question). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, in the event of a Casualty or Condemnation whereby Net Proceeds shall be applied to the Debt pursuant to the terms of Section 2.6(b) hereof, then such Net Proceeds shall be applied (1) first, to reduce the Allocated Loan Amount of the Individual Property affected by such Casualty or Condemnation and (2) second, to reduce the Allocated Loan Amount of the other Individual Properties.

Section 2.7 Taxes

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of Borrower) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by Borrower, then Borrower shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.7) the applicable Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any Other Taxes.

(c) Indemnification. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.7) payable or paid by Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,

whether or not such Indemnified 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 Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.7, such Loan Party shall deliver to 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 Lender.

(e) Status of Lenders.

(i) In the event Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, Lender shall deliver to Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower as will enable Borrower to determine whether or not 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 Section 2.7(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Lender.

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

(A) Lender shall deliver to Borrower from time to time upon the reasonable request of Borrower executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) if Lender is or becomes a Foreign Lender, Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date hereof if Lender is already a Foreign Lender, or on or prior to the date on which Lender becomes a Foreign Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower, whichever of the following is applicable):

(1) in the case of a Foreign 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 originals of IRS Form W-8BEN 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 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 originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code, which shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

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

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by Borrower) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), Lender shall deliver to Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional

documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as may be necessary for Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that Lender has complied with Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(E) 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 Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f) 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 2.7 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.7), 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 2.7 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 Section 2.7(f) (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 Section 2.7(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.7(f) 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.

(g) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.7 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, Lender, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 2.8 Loan Assignment

At the request of Borrower in connection with any full prepayment or repayment of the Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender shall: (i) assign one or more of the Mortgages to any new lender in connection with a refinance of the Loan in accordance with the terms of an assignment document prepared by counsel to Borrower and approved by Lender, which assignment documents shall be without representation or warranty by, or recourse to, Lender, provided that Lender shall represent that such assignment document has been duly authorized, executed and delivered and that Lender has not assigned or encumbered the Mortgages, (ii) deliver to or as directed by Borrower the original executed Note

and all other original executed notes (or copies thereof if no such original executed note was delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan) which may have been consolidated, amended and/or restated in connection with the closing of the Loan or, with respect to any note the original of which had been delivered and endorsed to Lender and such original has been lost, destroyed or mutilated, a lost note affidavit (without indemnification) for the benefit of the assignee lender and the title insurance company insuring the applicable Mortgages, as assigned, in form sufficient to permit such title insurance company to insure the lien of the applicable Mortgages as assigned to and held by the assignee without exception for any matter relating to the lost, destroyed or mutilated note, (iii) execute and deliver an allonge with respect to the Note and, to the extent endorsed to Lender, any other note(s) as described in the preceding clause (ii) above without recourse, covenant or warranty of any nature, express or implied (except as to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and that Lender owns the Note free of any liens and encumbrances and has the authority to execute and deliver the allonge), (iv) deliver the original executed Mortgages or a certified copy of record, and (v) execute and deliver such other instruments of conveyance, assignment, termination, severance and release (including appropriate UCC-3 termination statements) in recordable form as may reasonably be requested by Borrower to evidence such assignment and/or severance. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees, in connection with the foregoing shall be paid by Borrower; provided, however, Lender shall not charge any consent, processing, administrative, or similar fee in connection with any such assignment.

Section 2.9 Property Releases

Borrower may obtain the release of an Individual Property from the Lien of the Mortgage thereon (and related Loan Documents) and the release of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents with respect to such Individual Property (other than those expressly stated to survive), upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

(e) Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Release Date, a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for such Individual Property for execution by Lender.

(f) After giving effect to such release, Lender shall have determined that the Debt Yield for the Properties then remaining subject to the Liens of the Mortgages shall be at least equal to the greater of (i) 9.56% and (ii) the Debt Yield for all of the then remaining Properties (including the Individual Property to be released) for the twelve (12) full calendar months immediately preceding the release of the Individual Property, provided that Borrower shall be permitted to make a prepayment of the Loan in accordance with the terms of Section 2.6 for the purpose of satisfying the Debt Yield requirement in this Section;

(g) Lender shall have received payment of all Lender’s reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including due diligence review costs and reasonable counsel fees and disbursements incurred in connection with the release of the Individual Property from the lien of the related Mortgage Instrument and the review and approval of the documents and information required to be delivered in connection therewith; provided, however, Borrower shall not be required to pay any consent, processing, administrative or similar fee in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.9;

Section 5.13 Leasing Matters

(a) Borrower or Operating Lessee may enter into a proposed Lease (including the renewal or extension of an existing Lease (a “Renewal Lease”)) that is not a Major Lease without the prior written consent of Lender, provided such proposed Lease or Renewal Lease (i) provides for rental rates and terms comparable to existing local market rates and terms (taking into account the type and quality of the tenant) as of the date such Lease is executed by Borrower or Operating Lessee (unless, in the case of a Renewal Lease, the rent payable during such renewal, or a formula or other method to compute such rent, is provided for in the original Lease), (ii) is an arm’s-length transaction with a bona fide, independent third party tenant, (iii) does not contain any terms which would reasonably be expected to have or do have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) is subject and subordinate to the Mortgages and the Tenant thereunder agrees to attorn to Lender and any purchaser at a foreclosure sale and (v) does not contain any option, offer, right of first refusal, right of first offer or other similar right to acquire all or any portion of any Individual Property. Each Major Lease and all other proposed Leases which do not satisfy the requirements set forth in this subsection, unless Manager has the right to enter into such Lease without Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s prior written consent pursuant to the Management Agreement (each a “Required Approval Lease”) shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender copies of all Leases which are entered into pursuant to this subsection together with Borrower’s certification that it or Operating Lessee has satisfied all of the conditions of this Section. Borrower shall pay the costs and expenses associated with Lender’s counsel review of any Lease for which Lender’s consent may be required under this Section 5.13.

(b) Except as provided in clause (c) below, Borrower shall (i) observe and perform all the obligations imposed upon the landlord under the Leases in all material respects and shall not do or permit to be done anything to impair the value of any of the Leases as security for the Debt; (ii) promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of material default which Borrower or Operating Lessee shall send or receive under a Major Lease; (iii) enforce all of the material terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the tenant thereunder to be observed or performed; (iv) not collect any Rents more than one (1) month in advance (except security deposits shall not be deemed Rents collected in advance); (v) hold all security deposits in accordance with the terms of the applicable Lease and Legal Requirements; (vi) not execute any assignment of the landlord’s interest in any of the Leases or the Rents except as contemplated by the Loan Documents; and (vi) not consent to any assignment of or subletting under any Major Leases not in accordance with their terms, without the prior written consent of Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(c) Borrower and/or Operating Lessee may, without the prior written consent of Lender, amend, modify or waive the provisions of or terminate, reduce Rents or accept a surrender of space under, or shorten the term of, any Lease which is not a Major Lease (including any guaranty, letter of credit or other credit support with respect thereto) provided that (i) such action (taking into account, in the case of a termination, reduction in rent, surrender of

space or shortening of term, the planned alternative use of the affected space) is not reasonably expected to have and does not have a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) such amendment, modification, waiver, termination, rent reduction, space surrender or term shortening, is otherwise in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement and any subordination agreement binding upon Lender with respect to such Lease. A termination of a Lease with a tenant who is in monetary default beyond applicable notice and grace periods shall not be considered an action which has a Material Adverse Effect. Any amendment, modification, waiver, termination, rent reduction, space surrender or term shortening which does not satisfy the requirements set forth in this subsection shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (each, a “Lease Modification”), at Borrower’s expense. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender copies of amendments, modifications and waivers which are entered into pursuant to this subsection together with Borrower’s certification that it has satisfied all of the conditions of this subsection.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Borrower and Operating Lessee shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, enter into, renew, extend, amend, modify, waive any provisions of, terminate, reduce Rents under, accept a surrender of space under, or shorten the term of any Major Lease; provided, however, Borrower and/or Operating Lessee may terminate a Major Lease with a tenant who is in default beyond applicable notice and grace periods without the prior written approval of Lender.

(e) Each request by Borrower for approval and consent by Lender pursuant to this Section 5.13 shall be in writing and contain a legend in capitalized bold letters on the top of the cover page stating: “LENDER’S RESPONSE IS REQUESTED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS. LENDER’S FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN SUCH TIME PERIOD SHALL RESULT IN LENDER’S CONSENT BEING DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN GRANTED” and Borrower shall include the following documentation with such request all materials reasonably necessary in order for Lender to evaluate such matter. In the event that Lender fails to grant or withhold its approval and consent to such matter within such ten (10) Business Day period (and, in the case of a withholding of consent, stating the grounds therefor in reasonable detail), then, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, Lender’s approval and consent shall be deemed to have been granted.

Section 5.24 Interest Rate Cap Agreement

(a) Prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing Date, Borrower shall have obtained the Interest Rate Cap Agreement.

(b) Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and shall deliver to Lender counterparts of such Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement executed by Borrower and the Acceptable Counterparty and notify the Acceptable Counterparty of such collateral assignment (either in such Interest Rate Cap Agreement or by separate instrument). At such time as the Loan is repaid in full, all of Lender’s right, title and interest in the Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall terminate and Lender shall execute and deliver at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, such documents as may be required to evidence Lender’s release of the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement and to notify the Acceptable Counterparty of such release.

(c) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Acceptable Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrower or Lender shall be deposited immediately into the Cash Management Account.

(d) In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement as and when required hereunder, or fails to maintain such agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Lender may purchase the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, as applicable, and the cost incurred by Lender in purchasing the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, as applicable, 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.

(e) In connection with the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and any Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall, within a reasonable period of time after the effectiveness of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, obtain and deliver to Lender (1) a confirmation evidencing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (2) any guaranty or guaranties therefor, (3) executed counterparts to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Cap Agreement, and (4) 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 and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or the Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, as applicable;

(ii) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or the Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, as applicable, 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 or the Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, as applicable, 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 or the Replacement Interest Cap Agreement, as applicable, 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 5.24 or elsewhere in this Agreement, if, at any time, Lender converts the Loan from a LIBOR Rate Loan to either a Base Rate Loan or an Alternate Rate Loan in accordance with Section 2.4 above (each, a “LIBOR Conversion”), then within thirty (30) days after such LIBOR Conversion, Borrower shall either (A) enter into, make all payments under, and satisfy all conditions precedent to the effectiveness of, a Substitute Interest Rate Protection Agreement (and in connection therewith, but not prior to Borrower taking all the actions described in this clause (f), Borrower shall have the right to terminate any then-existing Interest Rate Protection Agreement) or (B) cause the then-existing Interest Rate Protection Agreement to be modified such that such then-existing Interest Rate Protection Agreement satisfies the requirements of a Substitute Interest Rate Protection Agreement as set forth below in the definition thereof (a “Converted Interest Rate Protection Agreement”).

As used herein, “Substitute Interest Rate Protection 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 the then-applicable Maturity Date or, to the extent a rated Securitization has occurred, through the end of the Interest Accrual Period associated with the then applicable Maturity Date;

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

(iii) it provides that the only material 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 reasonably determined by Lender), for the term of the Substitute Interest Rate Protection Agreement, a hedge against rising interest rates that is no less beneficial to Borrower and Lender than that which was provided by the Interest Rate Protection Agreement being obtained by Borrower in connection with the origination of the Loan; and

(v) without limiting any of the provisions of the preceding clauses (i) through (iv) above, it satisfies all of the other requirements set forth in this Section 5.24.

From and after the date of any LIBOR Conversion, all references to “Interest Rate Protection Agreement” and “Replacement Interest Rate Protection Agreement” herein (other than in the definition of “Interest Rate Protection Agreement”, the definition of “Replacement Interest Rate Protection Agreement” and as referenced in the first sentence of Section 5.24(a) hereof) shall be deemed to refer or relate, as applicable, to a Substitute Interest Rate Protection Agreement or a Converted Interest Rate Protection Agreement, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5.24(f), Borrower shall not be required to obtain a Substitute Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Converted Interest Rate Protection Agreement, as applicable, during any period when the Loan is outstanding as a Base Rate Loan or Alternate Rate Loan if such a Substitute Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Converted Interest Rate Protection Agreement, as the case may be, is not then commercially available or would have a cost to Borrower that is not commercially reasonable, in which event Borrower and Lender shall work together to find a mutually agreeable alternative to a Substitute Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Converted Interest Rate Protection Agreement that would afford Lender substantially equivalent protection from increases in the applicable interest rate.

Section 5.25 Franchise Agreement

(a) Except as provided in this Agreement, the Properties shall at all times be operated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Franchise Agreements.

Each request by Borrower for approval and consent by Lender pursuant to this Section 5.25 shall be in writing and contain a legend in capitalized bold letters on the top of the cover page stating: “LENDER’S RESPONSE IS REQUESTED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS. LENDER’S FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN SUCH TIME PERIOD SHALL RESULT IN LENDER’S CONSENT BEING DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN GRANTED” and Borrower shall include the following documentation with such request all materials reasonably necessary in order for Lender to evaluate such matter. In the event that Lender fails to grant or withhold its approval and consent to such matter within such ten (10) Business Day period (and, in the case of a withholding of consent, stating the grounds therefor in reasonable detail), then, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, Lender’s approval and consent shall be deemed to have been granted. There shall be no administrative or approval fee in connection with this Section 5.25(a), but Borrower shall pay any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no Event of Default is continuing, Borrower and/or Operating Lessee shall have the right, and the right to permit Franchisor, without the prior written approval of Lender (but upon prior written notice to Lender), to

terminate a Franchise Agreement at an Individual Property; provided, however, it shall be an Event of Default hereunder in the event that within sixty (60) days of the termination of such Franchise Agreement (i) Borrower shall have failed (or shall have failed to cause Operating Lessee in the case of clause (2) hereof) to deliver to Lender either (1) a PIP Guaranty relating to any New PIP contemplated by the Replacement Franchise Agreement or the Replacement Management Agreement with a Brand Manager or (2) cash to be deposited into the PIP Reserve Account in an amount equal to the PIP Required Deposit contemplated by the Replacement Franchise Agreement or the Replacement Management Agreement with a Brand Manager, which cash shall be held and distributed in accordance with the terms of Section 9.9 hereof and (ii) Borrower fails to deliver evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that a Replacement Franchise Agreement or a Replacement Management Agreement with a Brand Manager is in full force and effect at the applicable Individual Property.

(c) WITH RESPECT TO THE SHERATON ANCHORAGE PROPERTY, THE APPLICABLE BORROWER IS A PARTY TO A LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH THE SHERATON CORPORATON THAT ENABLES IT TO OPERATE A HOTEL USING THE SERVICE XXXX “SHERATON®.” NEITHER THE SHERATON CORPORATION NOR ITS AFFILIATES OWN SUCH HOTEL OR ARE A PARTY TO THIS FINANCING AND HAVE NOT PROVIDED OR REVIEWED, AND ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR, ANY DISCLOSURES OR OTHER INFORMATION SET FORTH HEREIN.

Section 5.29 Operating Lease Provisions

With respect to each Operating Lease:

(a) Borrower shall (i) diligently perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Operating Lease on the part of Borrower, as landlord thereunder, (ii) promptly notify Lender of the giving of any notice under the Operating Lease to Borrower of any default by Borrower, as landlord thereunder, and deliver to Lender a true copy of each such notice within five (5) Business Days of receipt and (iii) promptly notify Lender of any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency of any party under the Operating Lease or of any notice thereof, and deliver to Lender a true copy of such notice within five (5) Business Days of Borrower’s receipt, together with copies of all notices, pleadings, schedules and similar matters received by Borrower in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency within five (5) Business Days after receipt. Borrower shall not, without the prior consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (x) surrender the leasehold estate created by the Operating Lease or terminate or cancel the Operating Lease or materially modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Operating Lease (to the extent such modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment would reasonably be expected to

have a Material Adverse Effect), either orally or in writing, or (y) consent to, acquiesce in, or fail to object to, any attempt by any party, as debtor in possession or by a trustee for such party, to sell or transfer such party’s estate free and clear of the Operating Lease under Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. Borrower shall object to any such attempt, as debtor in possession or by a trustee for any such party, to sell or transfer such estate free and clear of the Operating Lease under Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, and in such event shall affirmatively assert and pursue its right to adequate protection under Section 363(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. Borrower hereby assigns to Lender all of its rights under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code to consent or object to any sale or transfer of any estate free and clear of the Operating Lease, and grants to Lender the right to object to any such sale or transfer on behalf of Borrower, and Borrower shall not contest any pleadings, motions documents or other actions filed or taken on Lender’s or Borrower’s behalf by Lender in the event that the landlord, as debtor in possession or by a trustee, attempts to sell or transfer the fee estate free and clear of the Operating Lease under Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

(b) If Borrower shall default in the performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition of the Operating Lease on the part of Borrower, as landlord thereunder, and shall fail to cure the same prior to the expiration of any applicable cure period provided thereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Operating Lease on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed on behalf of Borrower, to the end that the rights of Borrower in, to and under the Operating Lease shall be kept unimpaired and free from default. If the tenant or landlord under the Operating Lease shall deliver to Lender a copy of any written notice of default under the Operating Lease, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in good faith, in reliance thereon.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, with respect to each Individual Property, an Operating Lease shall at all times be in full force and effect. Upon the expiration of the existing Operating Lease pursuant to its terms, provided no Event of Default is continuing and upon prior written notice to Lender, Borrower shall have the right (without the prior written approval of Lender) to extend the term of the Operating Lease for a period of five (5) years provided that such extension contains the same material terms and conditions as are set forth in the existing Operating Lease, except for a modification of the rent which shall be “market rent” in accordance with REIT rule requirements (which “market rent” shall be determined by reference to a transfer pricing report that is prepared by an independent national accounting firm). Borrower shall promptly delivery a copy of any such extension to Lender.

(d) Each request by Borrower for approval and consent by Lender pursuant to this Section 5.29 shall be in writing and contain a legend in capitalized bold letters on the top of the cover page stating: “LENDER’S RESPONSE IS REQUESTED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS. LENDER’S FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN SUCH TIME PERIOD SHALL RESULT IN LENDER’S CONSENT BEING DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN GRANTED” and Borrower shall include the following documentation with such request all materials reasonably necessary in order for Lender to evaluate such matter. In the event that Lender fails to grant or withhold its approval and consent to such matter within such ten (10) Business Day period (and, in the case of a withholding of consent, stating the grounds therefor in reasonable

detail), then, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, Lender’s approval and consent shall be deemed to have been granted. There shall be no administrative or approval fee in connection with this Section 5.29(e), but Borrower shall pay any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender.

Section 5.30 Collective Bargaining Agreement

Borrower or Operating Lessee shall promptly notify Lender of any default or notice of non-compliance received or delivered in connection with the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Borrower or Operating Lessee shall provide Lender with a copy of any replacement or extension of the Collective Bargaining Agreement promptly after the execution thereof.

Borrower covenants and agrees to implement and follow the terms and conditions of each O&M Program for the Properties during the term of the Loan, including any extension or renewal thereof.

Each SPE Component Entity (A) will at all times comply with each of the covenants, terms and provisions contained in Sections 6.1(a)(iii) through (vi) and (viii) through (xxiv) inclusive, as if such representation, warranty or covenant was made directly by such SPE Component Entity; (B) will not engage in any business or activity other than owning an interest in Borrower; (C) will not acquire or own any assets other than its partnership, membership, or other equity interest in Borrower; (D) will not own any subsidiary, or make any investment in any Person other than its investment in Borrower; (E) will not incur any debt, secured or unsecured, direct or contingent (including guaranteeing any obligation); and (F) will cause Borrower to comply with the provisions of this Section 6.1 and Section 6.4.

(ii) In the event Borrower or SPE Component Entity is an Acceptable DE LLC (as referred to in this clause (ii), the “Company”), the limited liability company agreement of the Company (the “LLC Agreement”) shall provide that (A) upon the occurrence of any event that causes the sole member of the Company (“Member”) to cease to be the member of the Company (other than (1) upon an assignment by Member of all of its limited liability company interest in the Company and the admission of the transferee in accordance with the Loan Documents and the LLC Agreement, or (2) the resignation of Member and the admission of an additional member of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and the LLC Agreement), the personal representative of Member shall, within ninety (90) days, agree in writing to continue the existence of the Company and to the admission of such personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute member of the Company, effective as of the occurrence of the event that caused the Member to cease to be a member of the Company, and a natural person duly designated under the LLC Agreement any person acting as Independent Director of the Company and executing the LLC Agreement (“Special Member”) shall, without any action of any other Person and simultaneously with the Member ceasing to be the member of the Company, automatically be admitted to the Company and shall continue the existence of the Company without dissolution, and (B) Special Member may not resign from the Company or transfer its rights as Special Member unless (1) a successor Special Member has been admitted to the Company as Special Member in accordance with the requirements of the Act and (2) after giving effect to such

resignation, such successor Special Member has also accepted its appointment as an Independent Director. The LLC Agreement shall further provide that (v) Special Member shall automatically cease to be a member of the Company upon the admission to the Company of a substitute Member, (w) Special Member shall be a member of the Company that has no interest in the profits, losses and capital of the Company and has no right to receive any distributions of the assets of the Company, (x) pursuant to Section 18-301 of the Act, Special Member shall not be required to make any capital contributions to the Company and shall not receive a limited liability company interest in the Company, (y) Special Member, in its capacity as Special Member, may not bind the Company, and (z) except as required by any mandatory provision of the Act, Special Member, in its capacity as Special Member, shall have no right to vote on, approve or otherwise consent to any action by, or matter relating to, the Company, including, without limitation, the merger, consolidation or conversion of the Company; provided, however, such prohibition shall not limit the obligations of Special Member, in its capacity as Independent Director, to vote on such matters required by the Loan Documents or the LLC Agreement. Prior to its admission to the Company as Special Member, Special Member shall not be a member of the Company, but the Special Member may serve as an Independent Director of the Company. Any action initiated by or brought against Member or Special Member under any Creditors Rights Laws shall not cause Member or Special Member to cease to be a member of the Company and upon the occurrence of such an event, the existence of the Company shall continue without dissolution. The LLC Agreement shall also provide that each of Member and Special Member waives any right it might have to agree in writing to dissolve the Company upon the occurrence of any action initiated by or brought against Member or Special Member under any Creditors Rights Laws, or the occurrence of an event that causes Member or Special Member to cease to be a member of the Company.

(c) The organizational documents of Borrower and each SPE Component Entity shall provide an express acknowledgment that Lender is an intended third-party beneficiary of the “special purpose” provisions of such organizational documents.

(d) Borrower has executed and delivered to Lender the certificate attached hereto as Exhibit D.

Section 6.2 Change of Name, Identity or Structure

Borrower shall not change or permit to be changed (a) Borrower’s name, (b) Borrower’s identity (including its trade name or names), (c) Borrower’s principal place of business set forth on the first page of this Agreement, (d) the corporate, partnership or other organizational structure of Borrower or each SPE Component Entity (if any), (e) Borrower’s state of organization, or (f) Borrower’s organizational identification number, without in each case notifying Lender of such change in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such change and, in the case of a change in Borrower’s structure or state of organization, without first obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. At the request of Lender, Borrower shall execute a certificate in form satisfactory to Lender listing the trade names under which Borrower intends to operate the Properties, and representing and warranting that Borrower does business under no other trade name with respect to the Properties. If Borrower does not now have an organizational identification number and later obtains one, or if the organizational identification number

assigned to Borrower subsequently changes, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of such organizational identification number or change.

Section 6.3 Business and Operations

Borrower will qualify to do business and will remain in good standing under the laws of the States as and to the extent the same are required for the ownership, maintenance, management and operation of the Properties.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it shall be an additional covenant and requirement under this Section 6.4 that any entity housing

an Independent Director (whether Borrower and/or any SPE Component Entity) shall be an Acceptable DE LLC.

Lender shall have the right to approve or disapprove the proposed Transfer based on its (or the servicer’s on behalf of Lender) then current underwriting and credit requirements for similar loans secured by similar properties which loans are sold in the secondary market, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

(j) Transferee shall furnish to Lender, if required by Lender, a REMIC Opinion, a New Non-Consolidation Opinion, and an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Lender and its counsel (A) that Transferee’s formation documents provide for the matters described in

subparagraph (g) above, (B) that the assumption of the Debt has been duly authorized, executed and delivered, and that the assumption agreement and the other Loan Documents are valid, binding and enforceable against Transferee in accordance with their terms, (C) that Transferee and any entity which is a controlling stockholder, member or general partner of Transferee, have been duly organized, and are in existence and good standing, and (D) with respect to such other matters as Lender may reasonably request;

The consent of Lender with respect to a Transfer of the Properties in their entirety to, and the assumption of the Loan by, a Transferee pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall not be construed to be a waiver of the right of Lender to consent to any subsequent Transfer of the Properties. Upon the Transfer of the Properties pursuant to this Section 7.4, Borrower and Guarantor (if a Transferee Principal has assumed the obligations of Guarantor under the Loan Documents pursuant to this Section 7.4) shall be relieved of all liability under the Loan Documents for acts, events, conditions, or circumstances occurring or arising after the date of such transfer, except to the extent that such acts, events, conditions, or circumstances are the proximate result of acts, events, conditions, or circumstances that existed prior to the date of such transfer, whether or not discovered prior or subsequent to the date of such transfer.

In connection with any Transfer permitted pursuant to this Section 7.5, Lender shall execute and deliver any instrument reasonably necessary or appropriate, in the case

of the Transfers referred to in clause (i) above, to release the portion of the Individual Property affected by such Condemnation or such Transfer from the Lien of the Mortgages or, in the case of clause (ii) above, to subordinate the Lien of the Mortgages to such easements, restrictions, covenants, reservations and rights of way or other similar grants upon receipt by Lender of:

(B) a copy of the instrument or instruments of Transfer;

(C) a certificate from an officer of Borrower reasonably stating (1) with respect to any Transfer, the consideration, if any, being paid for the Transfer, and (2) that such Transfer does not materially impair the utility and operation of the Individual Property and would not reasonably be expected to have and does not have a Material Adverse Effect; and

(D) reimbursement of all of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with such Transfer (which shall be paid by Borrower whether or not the proposed Transfer actually occurs).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.5, for so long as the Loan is included in a REMIC Trust in connection with a Securitization, no release of the Outparcel from the Lien of the Mortgages will be permitted unless, immediately after the Release, either (i) the LTV Ratio is equal to or less than one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) (such value to be determined, in Lender’s sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust, based solely on the value of the real property excluding personal property and going concern value, if any) or (ii) the principal balance of the Loan is paid down by the least of the following amounts: (A) an amount equal to the net proceeds or other compensation paid by a Governmental Authority in connection with a Transfer described in Section 7.5(a)(i), (B) the fair market value of the Outparcel at the time of release, or (C) an amount such that the LTV Ratio (as so determined by Lender) does not increase after the release, unless Lender receives an opinion of counsel that the Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust as a result of the release.

(i) comprehensive all risk “special form” insurance including, but not limited to, loss caused by any type of windstorm or hail on the Improvements and the Personal Property, (A) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the “Full Replacement Cost,” which for purposes of this Agreement shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a waiver for depreciation; (B) written on a no co-insurance form; (C) providing for no deductible in excess of $250,000.00 (except for deductibles for windstorm, flood, and earthquake coverage, which deductibles may be up to five percent (5%) of the total insurable value of the Properties set forth in the Policy); (D) Borrower may elect to increase the “all risk” deductible to $500,000.00 per occurrence (excluding named storm, earthquake and flood wherein such deductibles may not exceed 5%) provided that Borrower has an aggregate “plus” limit in place to prevent the annual aggregate deductible from exceeding $2,500,000.00 (and if the cap is reached any deductible for subsequent losses may not exceed $250,000 per occurrence); and (E) if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses, coverage for loss due to operation of law in an amount equal to the full Replacement Cost, and coverage for demolition costs and coverage for increased costs of construction in amounts acceptable to Lender. In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (aa) if any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a federally designated “special flood hazard area”, flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to (1) the maximum amount of such insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended plus (2) such greater amount as Lender shall require and (bb) earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance mutually agreeable to Lender and Borrower in the event the Properties are located in an area with a high degree of seismic activity; provided that the insurance pursuant to clauses (aa) and (bb) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the comprehensive all risk insurance policy required under this subsection (i);

(ii) business income or rental loss insurance (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above; (C) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the projected gross earnings from the operation of the Properties for the full period of said Restoration (as reduced to reflect expenses not incurred during a period of Restoration); and (D) containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and Personal Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such

earnings either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of twelve (12) months from the date that the Properties are repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period. The amount of such business income or rental loss insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross earnings from the Properties for the succeeding twelve (12) month period. Notwithstanding previous stated provisions, all proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;

(iii) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the Properties coverage form does not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance, otherwise known as Owner Contractor’s Protective Liability, covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to subsection (i) above, (3) including permission to occupy the Properties and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;

(iv) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if steam boilers or other pressure-fixed vessels are in operation, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under subsection (i) above;

(v) commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Properties, such insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a combined limit of not less than $2,000,000.00 in the aggregate and $1,000,000.00 per occurrence, providing for no deductible in excess of $500,000 without prior written consent of Lender; and (B) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis; (3) independent contractors; and (4) blanket contractual liability for all insured contracts;

(vi) if applicable, automobile liability coverage for all owned and non-owned vehicles, including rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits per occurrence of $1,000,000.00;

(vii) if applicable, worker’s compensation and employee’s liability subject to the worker’s compensation laws of the State in which the Properties are located;

(viii) umbrella and excess liability insurance in an amount not less than $100,000,000.00 per occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial general liability

insurance policy required under subsection (v) above, including, but not limited to, supplemental coverage for liquor liability, employer’s liability and automobile liability, which umbrella liability coverage shall apply in excess of the liquor liability, employer’s liability and automobile liability coverage required herein;

(ix) the insurance required under this Section (a)(i), (ii), (v) and (viii) above shall cover perils of terrorism and acts of terrorism and Borrower shall maintain insurance for loss resulting from perils and acts of terrorism on terms (including amounts) consistent with those required under Sections (a) (i), (ii), (v) and (viii) above at all times during the term of the Loan provided said terrorism coverage remains economically feasible through Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (TRIPRA); or a similar or subsequent statute as may be enacted. Borrower shall be required to carry terrorism insurance throughout the term of the Loan as required by the preceding sentence; however, Borrower shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance more than two (2) times the then-current all-risk and business income/rental loss insurance premium as required in this Section 8.1 payable by Borrower and, if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, Borrower shall purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount;

(x) liquor liability containing minimum limits per occurrence of $1,000,000; and

(xi) upon sixty (60) days’ written notice, such other reasonable insurance, including, but not limited to, sinkhole or land subsidence insurance, and in such reasonable amounts as Lender and Borrower from time to time may agree are reasonable insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Properties located in or around the region in which the Properties are located.

(b) All insurance provided for in Section (a) hereof, shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a rating of (a) “A:X” or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports and a claims paying ability rating of “A” by S&P and “A 2” by Moody’s, if Xxxxx’x is rating the Securities and rates the insurance company; or (b) a syndicate of insurers through which at least 75% of the coverage (if there are 4 or fewer members of the syndicate) or at least 60% of the coverage (if there are 5 or more members of the syndicate) is with carriers having a rating by S&P not lower than “BBB” and “Baa2” by Moody’s, if Xxxxx’x is rating the Securities and rates the insurance companies and by A.M. Best not lower than “A:X”. The Policies described in Section 8.1 hereof (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee; however, for any loss with an expected value less than $1,500,000 Borrower shall be permitted to adjust the loss and receive insurers payments direct, and Lender shall be notified of any loss with an value expected to exceed $1,000,000.

(c) Not less than ten (10) days following the inception of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies shall be furnished to Lender (except that, for so long Marriott is the Manager and is providing coverage

under the Marriott master insurance program, Borrower shall submit to Lender certificates of insurance and other standard evidence as provided by Marriott with respect to the applicable Individual Properties). Within forty five (45) days following inception of the Policies, Borrower shall provide satisfactory evidence of payment of premiums (the “Insurance Premiums”) as required or requested by Lender.

(d) Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to any Individual Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder or shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Properties in compliance with the provisions of Section 8.1(a) hereof.

(e) All Policies provided for or contemplated by clause (a) hereof shall name Borrower as a named insured (provided that Borrower may be an additional insured for so long as coverage is provided under the Marriott master insurance program) and, in the case of liability policies, except for the Policy referenced in Section 8.1(a)(vi) and (vii) of this Agreement, shall name Lender as its successors and/or assigns as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property policies, including but not limited to terrorism, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance.

(f) All property Policies shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

(i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, or foreclosure or similar action, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

(ii) the Policy shall not be canceled and, if commercially available, materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lender, except ten (10) days’ notice for non-payment of premium;

(iii) Borrower shall give written notice to Lender if the Policy has not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration; and

(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

(g) Borrower shall promptly forward to Lender a copy of any written notice received by Borrower from any insurer noticing any policy cancellation or cancellation of any coverages afforded under any of the Policies.

(h) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Properties, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate after ten (10) days’ written notice to Borrower if prior to the date upon which any such coverage will lapse or at any time Lender deems necessary (regardless of prior notice to Borrower) to avoid the

lapse of any such coverage. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

Section 8.2 Full Replacement Values

Borrower shall at all times maintain property insurance as defined in Section 8.1(a)(i) subject to the following:

(a) Borrower shall annually determine a fair and reasonable replacement cost (total insurable value - TIV) for each asset insured and report said TIV to the insurance carrier or panel of insurers. The TIV will be comprised of the cost of the building (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings), contents, and a twelve (12) month BI value (business income). Said BI values shall be calculated annually using the most recent annual operating profit and loss statements by an independent third party; provided, that, in no event shall the limit available for the Property be less than an amount equal to the Full Replacement Cost of the Property plus eighteen (18) months of BI Values.

(b) Wind/named storm limits shall be subject to review and approval by Lender based upon the schedule of locations and values sharing such limits and such other documentation required by Lender, including, but not limited to, PML reports for all assets insured in the portfolio.

(c) Critical high hazard earthquake coverage (California & Pacific Northwest) replacement costs shall be calculated as referenced in Section 8.2(a) above. Borrower, through an independent third party qualified to perform such risk analysis using the most current RMS software, or its equivalent, will annually determine using an exceeding probability analysis a probable maximum loss (PML) estimate inclusive of loss amplification for all assets insured in the portfolio. The “limits” of high hazard earthquake coverage will be equal to or exceed the 500 year return period. All insured assets participate equally in the cost allocation and are equally insured.

(d) Intentionally omitted.

Section 8.3 Casualty

If any Individual Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration in accordance with Section 8.5. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. Borrower shall adjust all claims for Insurance Proceeds that are in amounts less than the Restoration Threshold and Lender shall have the right to approve any adjustment of claims for Insurance Proceeds in amounts equal to or in excess of the Restoration Threshold; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have the exclusive right to participate in the adjustment of claims for Insurance Proceeds. Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Insurance

Proceeds lawfully or equitably payable in connection with any Individual Property and Borrower shall reimburse Lender for any expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith, including without limitation, reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees.

Section 8.4 Condemnation

Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of any Individual Property of which Borrower has knowledge and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all documents served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all documents requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and 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 pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning 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 condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of such Individual Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 8.5, whether or not Lender makes any Net Proceeds available pursuant to Section 8.5. If any 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, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.

Section 8.5 Restoration

The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of each Individual Property:

(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Restoration Threshold and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Restoration Threshold, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt of Borrower’s written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration subject to the conditions of and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.5. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 8.5 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender as a result of a Casualty (excluding insurance proceeds from rent loss, liability or workers’ compensation coverage), after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not

limited to, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), if any, in collecting the same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award as a result of a Condemnation, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), if any, in collecting the same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.

(i) Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:

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

(B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than forty percent (40%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on any Individual Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of a Casualty and the amount of damage does not exceed forty percent (40%) of any Individual Property’s fair market value (as reasonably determined by Lender) immediately prior to the occurrence of such Casualty, or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than fifteen percent (15%) of the land constituting any Individual Property is taken, such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of any Individual Property, and less than fifteen percent (15%) of the aggregate floor area of the Improvements is taken and the taking does not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of any Individual Property’s fair market value immediately prior to the occurrence of such taking;

(C) the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation shall not result in the termination of any Management Agreement, any Franchise Agreement or any Operating Lease;

(D) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;

(E) Lender shall be satisfied that all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred during the period of Restoration will be covered out of the Net Proceeds, insurance coverage referred to in Section 8.1(a)(iii) above, or other funds of Borrower;

(F) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date (assuming the exercise of all available Extension Options), (2) unless otherwise agreed to by Manager and Franchisor (as applicable), the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of the Management Agreement and Franchise Agreement (as applicable) or any material agreements affecting any Individual Property, (3) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation, or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 8.1(a)(iii);

(G) Lender shall be satisfied that the fair market value and cash flow from each Individual Property after the Restoration will not be less than the fair market value and cash flow immediately prior to the Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable;

(H) each Individual Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all Legal Requirements;

(I) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;

(J) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Individual Property or the Improvements that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(K) Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a detailed budget certified by Borrower’s architect or engineer setting forth the cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be reasonably acceptable to Lender, together with complete plans and specifications for the Restoration; and

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

(ii) Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.5(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all the conditions precedent to such advance, including those set forth in Section 8.5(b)(i), have been satisfied, (B) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the related Restoration item have been paid for in full, and (C) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Individual Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy. Insurance Proceeds from rent loss or business interruption coverage, as applicable, which are required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to Section 8.1(a), shall be controlled by Lender at all times, shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.4 and shall be used solely for the payment of the obligations under the Loan Documents and operating expenses.

(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration which relate to work estimated to cost in excess of $50,000, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Restoration Consultant”), in each case, which shall not be

unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration engaged to preform work estimated to cost in excess of $50,000, as well as the contracts in excess of $50,000 under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Restoration Consultant, in each case, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Restoration Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.

(iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net 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 Restoration Consultant, minus the Restoration Retainage. The term “Restoration Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Restoration Retainage shall be reduced to five percent (5%) of the costs incurred upon receipt by Lender of satisfactory evidence that fifty percent (50%) of the Restoration has been completed. The Restoration Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 8.5(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Restoration Retainage shall not be released until the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.5(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Individual Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Restoration Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Restoration Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgages and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Restoration Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.

(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Restoration Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Restoration

Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 8.5(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.

(vii) The excess, if any, of the Insurance Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.5(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

(c) All Net Proceeds not required to be made available for Restoration, returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 8.5(b)(vii), or in the case of Condemnation Proceeds, applied by Lender in accordance with this Section 8.5(c), may (i) be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, (ii) at the sole discretion of Lender, be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes and upon such conditions as Lender shall designate. If, pursuant to this Section 8.5, Lender shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the Debt shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Lender and actually applied by Lender in reduction thereof; provided, however, that in the event the Net Proceeds are applied to the Debt due to Lender not making the Net Proceeds available for Restoration and such Net Proceeds are not sufficient to repay the Allocated Loan Amount of the Individual Property subject to the casualty or condemnation in its entirety, then for so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall be permitted to prepay the remainder of the Allocated Loan Amount of the Individual Property subject to casualty or condemnation in compliance with the requirements of Article 2, without the requirement for defeasance or the payment of any Spread Maintenance Premium, prepayment premiums, fee or penalty. Following the Securitization of the Loan, if, after a taking of any portion of any Individual Property by a condemning authority, the ratio of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan to the value of the remaining Properties (as determined by Lender using any commercially reasonable valuation method; provided, however, Borrower will not, under any circumstances, be required to obtain an appraisal or broker’s opinion of value in connection with Lender making its determination) (the “LTV Ratio”) is greater than one hundred twenty-five percent (125%), then Borrower shall be required to repay a portion of the principal balance of the Debt by an amount equal to the least of the following amounts: (i) all Condemnation Proceeds, (ii) the fair market value of the such portion of the Individual; Property taken at the time of the taking, and (iii) an amount such that the LTV Ratio following the taking is not greater than the LTV Ratio immediately prior to the taking.

(d) In the event of foreclosure of any Mortgage, or other transfer of title to any Individual Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies then in force concerning such Individual Property and

100

all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure, Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

Section 9.3 Intentionally Omitted

Section 9.4 Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds

(a) Unless Lender determines that such items are adequately reserved for pursuant to a Management Agreement or by a Brand Manager, Borrower shall establish on the date hereof an Eligible Account with Lender or Lender’s agent sufficient to discharge Borrower’s obligations for the payment of Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof (the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Account”) into which Borrower shall deposit on the date hereof $1,828,399.20, which amount, when added to the required monthly deposits set forth in the next sentence, shall be sufficient to make the payments of Property Taxes and Insurance Premiums as required herein. Borrower shall deposit into the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Property Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months or such higher amount necessary to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Property Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to the earlier of (i) the date that the same will become delinquent and (ii) the date that additional charges or interest will accrue due to the non-payment thereof, and (b) except to the extent that the insurance required hereunder is maintained under a blanket insurance Policy acceptable to Lender in accordance with Section 8.1(c), one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof or such higher amount necessary to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds”). Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds to payments of Property Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof. In making any disbursement from the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account, Lender may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or tax lien service (with respect to Property Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Property Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay Property Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall pay to Lender any amount necessary to make up the deficiency within ten (10) days after notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment thereof.

(b) All sums on deposit in the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account shall be disbursed to Borrower upon the earliest to occur of (i) payment in full of the Debt or (ii) the

102

release of the Lien of the Mortgage (and all related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, provided no Event of Default is then continuing.

(c) Any Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds attributable to an Individual Property that has been released from the Lien of the Mortgages in accordance with the terms hereof shall be disbursed to Borrower within thirty (30) days of such release.

Section 9.5 Excess Cash

Borrower shall establish on the date hereof an Eligible Account with Lender or Lender’s agent into which Borrower shall deposit all Excess Cash on each Payment Date during the continuation of a Cash Sweep Period (the “Excess Cash Reserve Account”). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Excess Cash Reserve Funds”. Excess Cash Reserve Funds shall be held by Lender as additional security for the Loan; provided, however, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion to apply Excess Cash Reserve Funds to the Debt in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all sums on deposit in the Excess Cash Reserve Account shall be disbursed to Borrower upon the earlier to occur of (i) payment in full of the Debt, the Senior Mezzanine Loan and the Junior Mezzanine Loan, (ii) the release of the Lien of the Mortgages (and all related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the collateral for the Senior Mezzanine Loan and Junior Mezzanine Loan in accordance with the terms of the Senior Mezzanine Loan Agreement and Junior Mezzanine Loan Agreement, respectively, or (iii) the discontinuation of a Cash Sweep Period.

Section 9.6 Required Work

Borrower shall diligently pursue all Required Repairs and Replacements (collectively, the “Required Work”) to completion in accordance with the following requirements:

(a) Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials in connection with the Required Work to the extent such contracts or work orders exceed $500,000. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Required Work and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Required Work and to apply the Required Repair Funds or the FF&E Reserve Funds, as applicable, toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Required Work, without providing any prior notice to Borrower and to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.

(c) During the continuance of an Event of Default, in order to facilitate Lender’s completion of the Required Work, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto the Properties and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete the Required Work and/or employ watchmen to protect the Properties from damage. All sums so expended by

103

Lender, to the extent not from the Reserve Funds, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Mortgages. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the Required Work in the name of Borrower upon Borrower’s failure to do so in a workmanlike and timely manner. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Borrower empowers said attorney-in-fact as follows: (i) to use any of the Reserve Funds for the purpose of making or completing the Required Work; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to the Required Work as shall be necessary or desirable to complete the Required Work; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against any Individual Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the Required Work, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Properties or the rehabilitation and repair of the Properties; and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower might do on its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Nothing in this Section 9.6 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing the Required Work; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Reserve Funds to make or complete any Required Work; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with the Required Work; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Required Work.

(e) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties performing Required Work pursuant to this Section 9.6 to enter onto the Properties, together with a representative of Borrower, during normal business hours (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Required Work and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Required Work which are or may be kept at the Properties, and to complete any Required Work made pursuant to this Section 9.6. Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender and Lender’s representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 9.6 or the completion of Required Work pursuant to this Section 9.6.

(f) Lender may, to the extent any Required Work would reasonably require an inspection of the Properties, inspect the Properties at Borrower’s expense prior to making a disbursement of the Reserve Funds in order to verify completion of the Required Work for which reimbursement is sought. Borrower shall pay Lender a reasonable inspection fee not exceeding $500 for each such inspection. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of the Reserve Funds. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.

104

(g) The Required Work and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any Required Work shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic’s, materialman’s or other Liens (except for Permitted Encumbrances).

(h) Unless Borrower has delivered acceptable lien waivers for all applicable mechanics and materialmens, before each disbursement of the Reserve Funds for Required Work in excess of $500,000, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the Properties effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic’s or materialmen’s or other Liens of any nature have been placed against the Properties since the date of recordation of the Mortgages and that title to the Properties are free and clear of all Liens (except for Permitted Encumbrances).

(i) All Required Work shall comply with all Legal Requirements and applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.

Section 9.7 Release of Reserve Funds

(a) Upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Agreement, Lender shall disburse to Borrower within thirty (30) days amounts from (i) the Required Repair Account to the extent necessary to pay for or reimburse Borrower for the actual costs of each Required Repair (but not exceeding one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the original estimated cost of such Required Repair as set forth on Schedule 9.1, unless Lender has agreed to reimburse Borrower for such excess cost pursuant to Section 9.7(f)) or (ii) the FF&E Reserve Account to the extent necessary to pay for or reimburse Borrower for the actual costs of any approved Replacements (including in both cases, without limitation, any project management fees, construction management fees, and other similar fees, whether owed to any Manager or otherwise). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in no event shall Lender be required to (x) disburse any amounts which would cause the amount of funds remaining in the Required Repair Account after any disbursement (other than with respect to the final disbursement) to be less than one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the then current estimated cost of completing all remaining Required Repairs for the applicable Individual Property, (y) disburse funds from any of the Reserve Accounts if an Event of Default exists, or (z) disburse funds from the FF&E Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine repairs or maintenance to any Individual Property or for costs which are to be reimbursed from funds held in the Required Repair.

(b) With each request for disbursement, Borrower shall certify in writing to Lender that all Required Work has been performed in accordance with all Legal Requirements and that all such Required Work has been completed lien free and paid for in full or will be paid for in full upon disbursement of the requested funds. In addition, each request for disbursement in excess of $250,000 shall be on a form provided or approved by Lender and shall (i) include copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all labor or services provided, (ii) specify (A) the Required Work for which the disbursement is requested, (B) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if the Required Work includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (C) the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Required

105

Work other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, and (D) the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each Required Work for which such request for disbursement is made, (iii) if requested by Lender, conditional lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor with respect to the completion of its work or delivery of its materials. Except as provided in Section 9.7(d), each request for disbursement shall be made only after completion of the Required Repair or Replacement, as applicable, for which disbursement is requested. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment of such completion or performance.

(c) Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to all Legal Requirements and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for any Individual Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current disbursement request.

(d) If the cost of any item of Required Work exceeds $250,000, a request for disbursement from the Reserve Accounts may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) the materials for which the request is made are on site at any Individual Property and are properly secured or have been installed in any Individual Property, (B) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, and (C) in the case of a Replacement are, in Lender’s judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when required.

(e) Borrower shall not make a request for, nor shall Lender have any obligation to make, any disbursement from any Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month for each Individual Property and (except in connection with the final disbursement) in any amount less than the lesser of (i) $10,000 or (ii) the total cost of the Required Work for which the disbursement is requested.

(f) In the event Borrower requests a disbursement from the Required Repair Account to pay for or to reimburse Borrower for the actual cost of labor or materials used in connection with repairs or improvements other than the Required Repairs specified on Schedule 9.1, or for a Required Repair to the extent the cost of such Required Repair exceeds one hundred twenty-five (125%) of the estimated cost of such Required Repair as set forth on Schedule 9.1 (in either case, an “Additional Required Repair”), Borrower shall disclose in writing to Lender the reason why funds in the Required Repair Account should be used to pay for such Additional Required Repair. If Lender determines that (i) such Additional Required Repair is of the type intended to be covered by the Required Repair Account, (ii) such Additional Required Repair is not covered or is not of the type intended to be covered by the FF&E Reserve Account, (iii) costs for such Additional Required Repair are reasonable, (iv) the funds in the Required Repair Account are sufficient to pay for such Additional Required Repair and all other Required Repairs for the applicable Individual Property specified on Schedule 9.1, and (v) all other conditions for disbursement under this Agreement have been met, Lender may disburse funds from the Required Repair Account.

(g) Lender’s disbursement of any Reserve Funds or other acknowledgment of completion of any Required Work in a manner satisfactory to Lender shall not be deemed a

106

certification or warranty by Lender to any Person that the Required Work has been completed in accordance with Legal Requirements.

(h) If the funds in any Reserve Account should exceed the amount of payments actually applied by Lender for the purposes of the account, Lender in its sole discretion shall either return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to that Reserve Account. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Reserve Funds are not or will not be sufficient to make the required payments, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall pay to Lender any amount necessary to make up the deficiency within ten (10) days after notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment thereof.

(i) The insufficiency of any balance in any of the Reserve Accounts shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.

(j) Any Reserve Funds attributable to an Individual Property that has been released from the Lien of the Mortgages in accordance with the terms hereof shall be disbursed to Borrower within thirty (30) days of such release.

Section 9.8 [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 9.9 PIP Reserve Funds.

(a) Borrower shall deposit into an Eligible Account held by Lender or Lender’s agent (the “PIP Reserve Account”) (i) on the Closing Date, $0 for the applicable Individual Properties specified on Schedule 9.9 for the remaining 2018 budgeted costs of the Scheduled PIPs and (ii) unless Guarantor has provided a PIP Guaranty, on (y) the date that any PIP other than the Scheduled PIP, including, without limitation, any PIP relating to a Replacement Management Agreement and/or Replacement Franchise Agreement (the “New PIP”) is imposed by a Franchisor or Manager, the PIP Required Deposit for such New PIP and (z) on the first Business Day of each calendar year thereafter, an amount equal to the PIP Required Deposit (any such deposits to the PIP Reserve Account described in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall hereinafter be referred to, collectively, as the “PIP Reserve Deposits”. Amounts held in the PIP Reserve Account are herein referred to as the “PIP Reserve Funds”. In lieu of making any of the PIP Reserve Deposits in cash, Borrower shall be entitled to, at its option, deposit with Lender a Letter of Credit in the amount of such applicable PIP Reserve Deposit. The aggregate amount of PIP Reserve Funds and the notional amount of any such Letter of Credit delivered for any PIP Reserve Deposits shall not exceed the remaining cost of any PIP as reasonably determined by Lender, and any such excess shall be promptly released to Borrower or, in the case of a Letter of Credit, the amount thereof shall be reduced.

(b) Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, within thirty (30) days of Borrower’s complying with the requirements contained in Section 9.7, Lender shall make disbursements from the PIP Reserve Account directly to Borrower as requested by Borrower for Borrower’s actual out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with performance of the PIP (including, without limitation, any project management fees, construction

107

management fees and other similar fees (whether owed to Manager or otherwise)), no more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period and in an amount of no less than $5,000.00, upon delivery by Borrower of (1) Lender’s standard form of draw request accompanied by copies of invoices for the amounts requested, including, without limitation, invoices for all items or materials purchased and all labor or services provided showing (A) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if such PIP includes the purchase or replacement of specific item, (B) the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, (C) the cost of all contracted labor or other services or expenses attributable to such PIP, and (D) the PIP Completion Evidence, (2) if required by Lender, for requests in excess of $250,000.00 for a single item, lien waivers and releases from all parties furnishing materials and/or services in connection with the requested payment (conditioned upon the receipt of payment of the requested fund) and (3) such other evidence as may be reasonably required by Lender of performance and payment of the applicable PIP. Lender may additionally require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a disbursement from the PIP Reserve Account, in order to verify completion of replacements and repairs of items in excess of $250,000.00 for which reimbursement is sought.

(c) The insufficiency of any balance in the PIP Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.

(d) Any PIP Reserve Funds attributable to an Individual Property that has been released from the Lien of the Mortgages in accordance with the terms hereof shall be disbursed to Borrower within thirty (30) days of such release.

Section 9.10 Reserve Funds Generally

(a) Reserve Funds shall not be invested except in such Permitted Investments as determined and directed by Lender or its loan servicer. Except for Interest-Bearing Reserve Funds, all income and interest earned on the investment of Reserve Funds shall be for the account of and be retained by Lender or such loan servicer. All income and interest earned on the investment of Interest-Bearing Reserve Funds shall be for the account of Borrower. In no event shall Lender or its loan servicer be required to invest Reserve Funds in any particular type of Permitted Investment or select any particular account or credit funds therein at any particular rate of interest, provided that selection of the account and the rate of interest credited to Borrower on funds deposited therein shall be consistent with the general standards at the time being utilized by Lender or its loan servicer, as applicable, in establishing similar accounts for loans of comparable type. Any income or interest credited to Borrower hereunder shall be part of the applicable Reserve Account and shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 9.7 above; provided, however, that Lender may, at its election, retain any such interest for its own account during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default. Borrower agrees that it shall include all interest to which it is entitled under the terms hereof as the income of Borrower and shall be the owner of the Reserve Funds for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes, except to the extent that Lender retains any interest for its own account during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default as provided herein.

108

(b) Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in, and assigns and pledges to Lender, each of the Reserve Accounts and any and all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited in the Reserve Accounts as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt. The provisions of this Section 9.10 are intended to give Lender “control” of the Reserve Accounts within the meaning of the UCC.

(c) The Reserve Accounts and any and all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited in the Reserve Accounts shall be subject to the exclusive dominion and control of Lender, which shall hold the Reserve Accounts and any or all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited in the Reserve Accounts subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Without limitation of the foregoing, Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that: (i) each Reserve Account is a “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501(a) of the UCC); (ii) all property held in any Reserve Account (including without limitation cash) shall be treated as a “financial asset” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC); and (iii) the security interest of Lender therein shall be automatically perfected by control pursuant to Sections 8-106(e) and 9-106(a) of the UCC. Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal from the Reserve Accounts or any other right or power with respect to the Reserve Accounts or any or all of the Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited in the Reserve Accounts, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

(d) Lender shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Borrower, without charge, an annual accounting of each Reserve Account in the normal format of Lender or its loan servicer, showing credits and debits to such Reserve Account and the purpose for which each debit to each Reserve Account was made.

(e) As long as no Event of Default is continuing, Lender shall make disbursements from the Reserve Accounts in accordance with this Agreement. All such disbursements shall be deemed to have been expressly pre-authorized by Borrower, and shall not be deemed to constitute the exercise by Lender of any remedies against Borrower unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Lender has expressly stated in writing its intent to proceed to exercise its remedies as a secured party, pledgee or lienholder with respect to the Reserve Accounts.

(f) If any Event of Default is continuing, Borrower shall immediately lose all of its rights to receive disbursements from the Reserve Accounts until the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which such Event of Default is cured to Lender’s satisfaction, or (ii) the payment in full of the Debt. In addition, at Lender’s election, Borrower shall lose all of its rights to receive interest on the Interest Bearing Reserve Funds during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may exercise any or all of its rights and remedies as a secured party, pledgee and lienholder with respect to the Reserve Accounts. Without limitation of the foregoing, during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may use and disburse the Reserve Funds (or any portion thereof) for any of the following purposes: (A) repayment of the Debt, including, but not limited to, principal prepayments and the prepayment premium applicable to such full or partial prepayment (as applicable); (B) reimbursement of Lender for all losses, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees) suffered or incurred by Lender as a result of such Event

109

of Default; (C) payment of any amount expended in exercising any or all rights and remedies available to Lender at law or in equity or under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents; (D) payment of any item from any of the Reserve Accounts as required or permitted under this Agreement; or (E) any other purpose permitted by applicable Legal Requirements; provided, however, that any such application of funds shall not cure or be deemed to cure any Event of Default. Without limiting any other provisions hereof, each of the remedial actions described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies as a secured party with respect to the Reserve Funds and shall not in any event be deemed to constitute a setoff or a foreclosure of a statutory banker’s lien. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Reserve Funds to effect a cure of any Event of Default, or to pay the Debt, or in any specific order of priority. The exercise of any or all of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents shall not in any way prejudice or affect Lender’s right to initiate and complete a foreclosure under the Mortgages.

(g) The Reserve Funds shall not constitute escrow or trust funds and may be commingled in one or more Eligible Accounts with other funds controlled by Lender or its loan servicer, including, without limitation, funds pledged in favor of Lender by other borrowers, whether for the same purposes as the Reserve Accounts or otherwise. Without limiting any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Reserve Accounts may be established and held in such name or names as Lender or its loan servicer, as agent for Lender, shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, in the name of Lender or such loan servicer as agent for Lender. In the case of any Reserve Funds which are held in a commingled account, Lender or its loan servicer, as applicable, shall maintain records sufficient to enable it to determine at all times which portion of such account is related to the Loan. The Reserve Accounts are solely for the protection of Lender. With respect to the Reserve Accounts, Lender shall have no responsibility beyond the allowance of due credit for the sums actually received by Lender or beyond the reimbursement or payment of the costs and expenses for which such accounts were established in accordance with their terms. Upon assignment of the Loan by Lender, any Reserve Funds shall be turned over to the assignee and any responsibility of Lender as assignor shall terminate. The requirements of this Agreement concerning the Reserve Accounts in no way supersede, limit or waive any other rights or obligations of the parties under any of the Loan Documents or under applicable Legal Requirements.

(h) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Reserve Accounts or the Reserve Funds deposited therein or permit any Lien to attach thereto, except for the security interest granted in this Section 9.10, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.

(i) Borrower will maintain the security interest created by this Section 9.10 as a first priority perfected security interest and will defend the right, title and interest of Lender in and to the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Lender, and at the sole expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and will take such further actions as Lender reasonably may

110

request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted.

(j) Lender shall be protected in acting upon any notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other paper, document or signature believed by Lender to be genuine, and it may be assumed conclusively that any Person purporting to give any of the foregoing in connection with the Reserve Account’s has been duly authorized to do so. Lender may consult with counsel, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by them hereunder and in good faith in accordance therewith. Lender shall not be liable to Borrower for any act or omission done or omitted to be done by Lender in reliance upon any instruction, direction or certification received by Lender and without gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(k) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, Lender shall have any duty as to any Reserve Funds in its possession or control as agent therefor or bailee thereof or any income thereon or the preservation of rights against any person or otherwise with respect thereto. In no event shall Lender or its Affiliates, agents, employees or bailees, be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Reserve Funds, or for any diminution in value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of Lender, except to the extent that such loss or damage results from Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or intentional nonperformance by Lender of its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 9.11 Letters of Credit

(a) Other than in connection with any Letter of Credit delivered in connection with the closing of the Loan, to the extent Borrower is expressly permitted to deliver a Letter of Credit to Lender pursuant to the terms of any Loan Document, 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 (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) 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 Debt. 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 such Letter of Credit to payment of the Debt in such order, proportion or priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Any such application to the Debt shall be subject to the terms and conditions hereof relating to application of sums to the Debt. 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 to Lender at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire;

111

(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 to Lender by no later than thirty (30) days prior to such termination); (iv) if the issuing bank shall cease to be an Approved Bank and a substitute Letter of Credit from an Approved Bank is not delivered to Lender within fifteen (15) days after notice is delivered to Borrower that the issuing bank is no longer an Approved Bank; and/or (v) if the issuing bank shall fail to issue a replacement Letter of Credit in the event the original Letter of Credit has been lost, mutilated, stolen and/or destroyed. 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 upon 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 issuing bank if Lender has not drawn upon the Letter of Credit.

(c) In the event Borrower delivers to Lender a Letter of Credit pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.11 after the Closing Date, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a New Non-Consolidation Opinion or a “no effect letter” with respect to the Non-Consolidation Opinion delivered to Lender on the Closing Date, the applicant under such Letter of Credit shall be a direct or indirect parent of the Borrower and the right to draw any funds on such Letter of Credit shall be a direct or indirect capital contribution to the Borrower by such parent and shall be accompanied by the execution and delivery of a contribution agreement in form reasonably acceptable to Lender.

(d) The applicant under each Letter of Credit shall be required, until such time the Debt has been paid in full, to waive, release and abrogate any and all rights it may have under any agreement, at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating the applicant to the rights of Lender), to assert any claim against or seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from Borrower or any other party liable for payment of the amounts which the Letter of Credit is intended to cover for any draw made on any such Letter of Credit or otherwise.

Section 10.2 Deposits and Withdrawals

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Borrower acknowledges that Borrower is responsible for monitoring the sufficiency of funds deposited in the Cash Management Account and that Borrower is liable for any deficiency in available funds which may be necessary to pay all amounts due from time to time under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether Borrower has received any account statement, notice or demand from Cash Management Bank.

(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to make any and all withdrawals from the Clearing Account and Cash Management Account and transfers between any of the Reserve Accounts as Lender shall determine in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion and Lender may use all funds contained in any such accounts for any purpose, including but not limited to repayment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply funds as stated herein shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents.

Section 10.3 Security Interest

(a) To secure the full and punctual payment of the Debt and performance of all obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in the Clearing Account and Cash Management Account, all interest, cash, checks, drafts, certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time deposited or held therein, any and all amounts invested in Permitted Investments, and all “proceeds” (as defined in the UCC as in effect in the state in which the Clearing Account and Cash Management Account are located or maintained) of any or all of the foregoing. Furthermore, Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any of the foregoing or permit any Lien to attach thereto or any levy to be made thereon or any UCC Financing Statements to be filed with respect thereto. Borrower will maintain the security interest created

113

by this Section 10.3(a) as a first priority perfected security interest and will defend the right, title and interest of Lender in and to the Clearing Account and Cash Management Account against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever. The security interest created hereby shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the Debt. Upon payment in full of the Debt, this security interest shall terminate without further notice from any party and Lender shall execute such instruments and documents as may be reasonably requested by Borrower to evidence such termination.

(b) Borrower authorizes Lender to file any financing statement or statements required by Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest granted herein in connection with the Clearing Account and Cash Management Account. Borrower agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby (including, without limitation, any security interest in and to any Permitted Investments) or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder.

(c) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may exercise any or all of its rights and remedies as a secured party, pledgee and lienholder with respect to the Clearing Account and Cash Management Account. Without limitation of the foregoing, upon and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may use the Clearing Account and Cash Management Account for any of the following purposes: (A) repayment of the Debt, including, but not limited to, principal prepayments and the prepayment premium applicable to such full or partial prepayment (as applicable); (B) reimbursement of Lender for all Losses suffered or incurred by Lender as a result of such Event of Default; (C) payment of any amount expended in exercising any or all rights and remedies available to Lender at law or in equity or under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents; (D) payment of any item as required or permitted under this Agreement; or (E) any other purpose permitted by Legal Requirements; provided, however, that any such application of funds shall not cure or be deemed to cure any Event of Default. Without limiting any other provisions hereof, each of the remedial actions described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies as a secured party with respect to the Clearing Account and Cash Management Account and shall not in any event be deemed to constitute a setoff or a foreclosure of a statutory banker’s lien. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Clearing Account and Cash Management Account to effect a cure of any Event of Default, or to pay the Debt, or in any specific order of priority. The exercise of any or all of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents shall not in any way prejudice or affect Lender’s right to initiate and complete a foreclosure under the Mortgages.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of this Article 10, (i) “Business Day” shall mean a day on which Lender and Cash Management Bank are both open for the conduct of substantially all of their respective banking business at the office in the city in which the Note is payable, with respect to Lender, and at the office in the city where the Cash Management Account is maintained, with respect to Cash Management Bank (in both instances, excluding Saturdays and Sundays), and (ii) with regard to issues of perfection and

114

priority of security interests granted hereunder, for purposes of the UCC, the State of New York shall be deemed to be the Cash Management Bank’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Sections §9-304(b) and §8-110(a) of the UCC).

Moreover, the indemnification provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective whether or not an indemnification certificate described in (A) above is provided and shall be applicable based on information previously provided by Borrower and Guarantor or their Affiliates if Borrower or Guarantor do not provide the indemnification certificate.

(c) In connection with filings under the Exchange Act or any information provided to holders of Securities on an ongoing basis, Borrower agrees to indemnify (i) Lender, the Issuer Group and the Underwriter Group for Losses to which Lender, the Issuer Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Securities Liabilities arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement in the Provided Information or the omission or alleged omission to state in the Provided Information a material fact required to be stated in the Provided Information in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Issuer Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Issuer Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Securities Liabilities.

(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 13.5 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect

124

thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 13.5, 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 promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 13.5 the indemnifying party shall be responsible for any reasonable legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; 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 or parties. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one such separate counsel 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.

(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreements provided for in Section 13.5(c) or Section 13.5(d) is or are for any reason held to be unenforceable by an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 13.5(c) or Section 13.5(d), the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) the indemnified party’s, Borrower’s and Guarantor’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which 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.

(f) Borrower shall, and shall cause Guarantor to, indemnify Lender and its officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates against any Losses to which Lender and each of its officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates, may become subject in connection with any indemnification to the Rating Agencies in connection with issuing, monitoring or maintaining the Securities insofar as the Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact in any

125

information provided by or on behalf of Borrower to the Rating Agencies (the “Covered Rating Agency Information”) or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state a material fact in the Covered Rating Agency Information required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Rating Agency Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(g) The liabilities and obligations of Borrower and Lender under this Section 13.5 shall survive the satisfaction of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

(b) If requested by Lender, Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause the applicable tenant to furnish, to Lender financial data and/or financial statements in accordance with Regulation AB for any tenant of any Individual Property if, in connection with a Securitization, Lender expects there to be, with respect to such tenant or group of affiliated

126

tenants, a concentration within all of the mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in such Securitization such that such tenant or group of affiliated tenants would constitute a Significant Obligor; provided, however, that in the event the related lease does not require the related tenant to provide the foregoing information, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable tenant to furnish such information.

133

burden of proof to show that an event triggering liability of Borrower or Guarantor under this Section 15.1 first occurred after such foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, was not the proximate result of events that first occurred prior to such foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure and was not caused by any Exculpated Party (but only prior to such Exculpated Party becoming an Affiliate of Lender, Senior Mezzanine Lender or Junior Mezzanine Lender or any purchaser at any foreclosure of the Mortgage Loan, the Senior Mezzanine Loan or the Junior Mezzanine Loan) or their respective Affiliates; (ii) Borrower and Guarantor shall have no liability under Section 15.1(b) to the extent such liability solely arises after (1) Lender or a third-party has taken title to the Properties pursuant to a foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise or (2) a court appointed receiver has taken control of the day-to-day operations of the Properties; and (iii) no Operating Lessee shall have any liability under this Section 15.1, the Guaranty, or the Environmental Indemnity, except to the extent that such liability arises as a result of any act or omission of such Operating Lessee (but only prior to such Operating Lessee becoming an Affiliate of Lender, Senior Mezzanine Lender or Junior Mezzanine Lender or any purchaser at any foreclosure of the Mortgage Loan, the Senior Mezzanine Loan or the Junior Mezzanine Loan), provided, however, such Operating Lessee will bear the burden of proof to show that an event triggering liability of Operating Lessee under this Section 15.1 was not caused by Operating Lessee (but only prior to such Operating Lessee becoming an Affiliate of Lender, Senior Mezzanine Lender or Junior Mezzanine Lender or any purchaser at any foreclosure of the Mortgage Loan, the Senior Mezzanine Loan or the Junior Mezzanine Loan).

WAIVERS

Section 18.1 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers

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 singularly, 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.

Section 18.2 Modification, Waiver in Writing

No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or of the Note, or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a

139

writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

Section 18.3 Delay Not a Waiver

Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under the Note or under any other Loan Document, or any other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

Section 18.4 Trial by Jury

BORROWER AND LENDER EACH HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EACH OF LENDER AND BORROWER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER AND LENDER.

Section 18.5 Waiver of Notice

Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.

Section 18.6 Remedies of Borrower

In the event that 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

140

or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Lender agrees that, in such event, it shall cooperate in expediting any action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.

Section 18.7 Cross Default; Cross Collateralization; Waiver of Marshalling of Assets

(a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of its collective interest in the Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each Individual Property taken separately. Borrower agrees that the Mortgages are and will be cross collateralized and cross defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Mortgages shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Mortgages which secure the Note; (ii) an Event of Default under the Note or this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under each Mortgage; (iii) each Mortgage shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Properties as security for the Note; and (iv) such cross collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Properties, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Properties for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

Section 18.8 Waiver of Statute of Limitations

Borrower hereby expressly waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to payment of the Debt or performance of its other obligations.

Section 18.9 Waiver of Counterclaim

Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.

(c) In order to provide for a fair and equitable contribution among Borrowers in the event that any Contribution is made by an individual Borrower (a “Funding Borrower”), such Funding Borrower shall be entitled to a reimbursement Contribution (“Reimbursement Contribution”) from all other 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 Borrower and its Affiliates from extensions of credit made by Lender to (a) such Borrower and (b) to the other Borrowers hereunder and the Loan Documents to the extent such other Borrowers have guaranteed or mortgaged their Properties to secure the obligations of such Borrower to Lender.

(e) Each Borrower shall be liable to a Funding Borrower in an amount equal to the greater of (A) the (i) ratio of the Benefit Amount of such Borrower to the total amount of obligations, multiplied by (ii) the amount of obligations paid by such Funding Borrower, or (B) ninety-five percent (95%) of the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Borrower over the total liabilities of such 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 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 Borrowers by each such Funding Borrower pursuant to the Applicable Contribution. In the event that at any time any Borrower pays an amount hereunder in excess of the amount calculated pursuant to this Section above, that 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 Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of this Section.

(g) Each 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 a Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Section shall be paid until all amounts then due and payable by all of 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 Borrower to Lender under this Note or any other Loan Documents.

147

(i) Each Borrower waives:

(A) any right to require Lender to proceed against any other 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 Borrower;

(B) the defense of the statute of limitations in any action against any other Borrower or for the collection of any indebtedness or the performance of any obligation under the Loan;

(C) any defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of any other Borrower, any guarantor of any other person or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of any other Borrower or any guarantor from any cause other than full payment of all sums payable under the Note, this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents;

(D) 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 Borrower or any principal of any other Borrower or any defect in the formation of any other Borrower or any principal of any other Borrower;

(E) 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;

(F) 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;

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

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

(I) 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, without limitation, any failure of Lender to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any collateral;

(J) any defense based upon any election by Lender, in any bankruptcy proceeding, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(6)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute;

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

148

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

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

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

(O) 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; and

(P) any defense or benefit based upon Borrower’s, or any other party’s, resignation of the portion of any obligation secured by the applicable Mortgages to be satisfied by any payment from any other Borrower or any such party.

(j) Each Borrower waives:

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

(B) all rights and defenses that Borrower may have because any of Debt is secured by real property. This means, among other things: (i) Lender may collect from Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any other Borrower, (ii) if Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by any other Borrower, (a) the amount of the Debt 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, (b) Lender may collect from Borrower even if any other Borrower, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right Borrower may have to collect from any other Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Borrower may have because any of the Debt is secured by real property; and

(C) any claim or other right which Borrower might now have or hereafter acquire against any other Borrower or any other person that arises from the existence or performance of any obligations under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, 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,

149

whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law.

E. Lender requires that Guarantor execute this Agreement to guarantee the performance and completion of the PIP Work.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees for the benefit of Lender, as follows:

1. Completion Guaranty.

(a) Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender the full performance and completion of the PIP Work on or before the Outside Date (as defined in the Loan Agreement), including, without limitation, that the PIP Work be constructed, performed and completed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Property Improvement Plan, [Franchise Agreement] [Management Agreement], the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, free and clear from all defects and liens and in compliance with all applicable laws (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

(b) If any of the obligations of Borrower or the Borrower Parties with respect to the performance and completion of the PIP Work are not complied with, in any respect whatsoever, and without the necessity of any notice from Lender to Guarantor, Guarantor agrees to (i) assume all responsibility for the performance and completion of the PIP Work and, at Guarantor’s own cost and expense, cause the PIP Work to be fully performed and completed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Property Improvement Plan, [Franchise Agreement] [Management Agreement], the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument, the other Loan Documents, and this Agreement, and in compliance with all applicable laws; (ii) pay all bills incurred by Borrower or any Borrower Party in connection with the performance and completion of the PIP Work, including without limitation, all permitting fees, licensing fees, amounts payable under any general construction contract and all subcontracts, and amounts payable to all architects, engineers and other consultants engaged in connection with the construction, performance and completion of the PIP Work; (iii) cure any default or Event of Default under [Franchise Agreement] [Management Agreement], the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents relating to the PIP Work including, without limitation, causing any liens, claims or encumbrances relating to the PIP Work to be removed and thereafter keeping the Property free and clear from all liens and encumbrances that may be filed or asserted against the Property for furnishing materials and/or performing work or labor thereon relating to the PIP Work; and (iv) indemnify and hold Lender harmless from any and all loss, cost, liability or expense that Lender may suffer by any reason of any such non-compliance relating to the PIP

Work; and (v) fully furnish the Property with all furniture, fixtures and equipment necessary for the completion of the PIP Work in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Property Improvement Plan and the Franchise Agreement.)

(c) Guarantor’s liability hereunder is direct and unconditional and may be enforced without requiring Lender first to resort to any other right, remedy or security. This Agreement is, and shall be as to Guarantor continuing, and shall not terminate unless and until the Guaranteed Obligations have been fulfilled or the Loan shall have been paid in full or otherwise discharged, whichever shall first occur.

2. Indemnity. Guarantor agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless from any and all loss, cost, liability or expense in any way suffered, incurred or paid by Lender as a result of, or in any way arising from, either Borrower Party’s failure to perform and complete the PIP Work or Borrower’s failure to cause either Borrower Parties to perform and complete the PIP Work, including all costs and expenses of collection (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender to enforce this Agreement.

3. Reinstatement of Obligations. If at any time all or any part of any payment made by Guarantor or received by Lender from Guarantor under or with respect to this Agreement is or must be rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever (including, but not limited to, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Guarantor, Borrower or any Borrower Party), then the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall, to the extent of the payment rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such previous payment made by Guarantor, or receipt of payment by Lender, and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such payment, all as though such previous payment by Guarantor had never been made.

4. Waivers by Guarantor. To the extent permitted by law, Guarantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of:

(a) Fully Recourse. All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement are recourse obligations of Guarantor and not restricted by any limitation on personal liability.

(b) Unsecured Obligations. Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the obligations of Guarantor under this Agreement are not secured by the lien of the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, it being the intent of Lender to create separate obligations of Guarantor hereunder which can be enforced against Guarantor without regard to the existence of the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents or the liens or security interests created therein.

(c) Survival. This Agreement shall be deemed to be continuing in nature and shall remain in full force and effect and shall survive the exercise of any remedy by Lender under the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof.

(d) No Subrogation; No Recourse Against Lender. Any indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor now or hereafter existing (including, but not limited to, any rights to subrogation Guarantor may have as a result of any payment by Guarantor under this Agreement ), together with any interest thereon, shall be, and such indebtedness is, hereby, deferred, postponed and subordinated to the prior payment in full of the Loan. Further, Guarantor shall not have any right of recourse against Lender by reason of any action Lender may take or omit to take under the provisions of this Agreement or under the provisions of any of the Loan Documents.

(e) Financial Statements. Guarantor hereby agrees to furnish to Lender promptly upon demand by Lender current and dated financial statements detailing the assets and liabilities of Guarantor certified by Guarantor, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender. Guarantor hereby warrants and represents unto Lender that any and all balance sheets, net worth statements and other financial data which have heretofore been given or may hereafter be given to Lender with respect to Guarantor did or will at the time of such delivery fairly and accurately present the financial condition of Guarantor.

(f) Rights Cumulative; Payments. Lender’s rights under this Agreement shall be in addition to all rights of Lender under the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents. Further, payments made by Guarantor under this Agreement (or any other indemnitor under separate agreement) shall not reduce in any respect Borrower’s obligations and liabilities under the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.

(g) No Limitation on Liability. Guarantor hereby consents and agrees that Lender may at any time and from time to time without further consent from Guarantor do any of the following events, and the liability of Guarantor under this Agreement shall be unconditional and absolute and shall in no way be impaired or limited by any of the following events, whether occurring with or without notice to Guarantor or with or without consideration: (i) any extensions of time for performance required by any of the Loan Documents or extension or renewal of the Note; (ii) any sale, assignment or foreclosure of the Note, the Loan Agreement,

the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents or any sale or transfer of the Property; (iii) any change in the composition of Borrower or either Borrower Party, including, without limitation, the withdrawal or removal of Guarantor from any current or future position of ownership, management or control of Borrower or either Borrower Party; (iv) the accuracy or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties made by Guarantor herein or by Borrower in any of the Loan Documents; (v) the release of Borrower or of any other person or entity from performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents by operation of law, Lender’s voluntary act or otherwise; (vi) the release or substitution in whole or in part of any security for the Loan; (vii) Lender’s failure to record the Security Instrument or to file any financing statement (or Lender’s improper recording or filing thereof) or to otherwise perfect, protect, secure or insure any lien or security interest given as security for the Loan; (viii) the modification of the terms of any one or more of the Loan Documents; or (ix) the taking or failure to take any action of any type whatsoever. No such action which Lender shall take or fail to take in connection with the Loan Documents or any collateral for the Loan, nor any course of dealing with Borrower or any other person, shall limit, impair or release Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, affect this Agreement in any way or afford Guarantor any recourse against Lender. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to require Lender to take or refrain from taking any action referred to herein.

(h) Entire Agreement; Amendment; Severability. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties respecting the matters herein set forth and supersedes all prior agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties respecting such matters. Any amendments or modifications hereto, in order to be effective, shall be in writing and executed by the parties hereto. A determination that any provision of this Agreement is unenforceable or invalid shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision, and any determination that the application of any provision of this Agreement to any person or circumstance is illegal or unenforceable shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such provision as it may apply to any other persons or circumstances.
