possible to, all successive Debt Service Payment Dates after the Release Date
that would be required with respect to an assumed promissory note in a principal
amount equal to the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the MHP Notes and
accrued and unpaid interest thereon on the Release Date. Such assumed promissory
note shall be in the same form (including with respect to term and interest
rate) as the MHP Notes but shall provide for the mandatory prepayment thereof on
the Optional Prepayment Date, including through the application by the Servicer
of U.S. Obligations pursuant to the provisions of subsection (g) of this Section
2.3. The Lender shall deliver such U.S. Obligations to the Servicer for
application pursuant to Sections 4.3(B) and 7.9.3(A) of the Cash Management

pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.3 of the SC Loan Agreement, MHP may
assign its obligations under the MHP Notes together with the U.S. Obligations

this Section 2.3 shall provide that upon such assignment, the Defeasance
Collateral will not be part of the estate of MHP under Section 541 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code. NACC shall retain its obligation to designate a

unless such obligation is specifically assumed by the transferee. In
consideration for the payment of $1,000 by MHP, the Successor Entity shall
assume MHP's obligations under the MHP Notes and the Defeasance Security
Agreement, MHP shall be relieved of its obligations thereunder and the MHP Debt
and the SC Debt shall not be deemed outstanding for any purpose of this
Agreement. If required by the applicable Rating Agencies, MHP shall also deliver

Successor Entity in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender and the
applicable Rating Agencies.

interest on each of the MHP Notes, pro rata; and (ii) second, to prepayment of

MHP may defease the Lien of the Security Documents and the SC Security Documents
to cause the release of an MHP Property for the purpose set forth in clause (e)
of Section 4.1A prior to the date set forth in such subsection (a) if it
provides to the Lender an opinion in form and substance, and from a firm,
acceptable to the Lender, in the exercise of its sole discretion, that such
release will not adversely affect the status of the entity holding the MHP Debt
as a REMIC (assuming for such purpose that such entity otherwise qualifies as a
REMIC).

in the requested Change of Control are approved by the Lender and (iii) after
the Securitization, the Rating Agencies deliver a Rating Comfort Letter.

Lease to purchase the underlying MHP Note and MHP Mortgage, MHP tenders a cure
for such Event of Default or a plan to cure such Event of Default and the Lender
accepts such tender, such acceptance to contain such conditions as the Lender,
in the exercise of its sole discretion, may require. If MHP tenders to the
Lender all sums, the non-payment of which constituted an Event of Default under
clauses (a) or (b) of Section 4.1A, and the Lender accepts such sums, such
non-payment shall not constitute an Event of Default. If the Lender does not
accept any such payment or tender by MHP, the Event of Default shall be
continuing. The Lender shall be deemed to have accepted a tender of cash if the
Lender does not return such cash to MHP within 10 Business Days of its receipt
thereof. Except as contemplated by the preceding sentence, if the Lender fails
to
31
respond to MHP within 30 days of its receipt of such tender, it shall be deemed
to be rejected.
Section 4.2 Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
--------
continuing, the Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, by notice
to MHP (with a copy to the Manager) (except upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default under clauses (f) or (g) of Section 4.1A, in which case all principal
and accrued interest thereon will be immediately due and payable on the MHP
Notes without any declaration or other act on the part of the Lender) to take
one or more of the following actions:
(a) To declare the principal of and all amounts accrued but unpaid
under the MHP Notes and the Transaction Documents, together with the Yield
Maintenance Premium if the Event of Default occurs and is continuing prior to
the Optional Prepayment Date, to be immediately due and payable, and such
amounts shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, without presentment,
demand, protest or notice of any kind, other than any notice specifically
required by this Section 4.2, all of which are hereby expressly waived by MHP;
(b) Pursue such rights and remedies against MHP, or otherwise, as are
provided under and pursuant to the MHP Mortgages or any of the other Transaction
Documents and as may be available to the Lender at law or in equity, including,
without limitation, during such time as the Lender may be considering a tender
of a cure or a plan pursuant to Section 4.1B; provided, however, that the Lender
-------- -------
shall not initiate foreclosure proceedings unless five (5) Business Days' prior
notice of such intention is given MHP and the tender of a cure or a plan
therefor shall not have been accepted by the Lender pursuant to the provisions
of Section 4.1B before the end of such 5 Business Day period; and
(c) If the Event of Default involves MHP's failure to pay any
Imposition or to comply with the Insurance Requirements, or to perform or
observe any other covenant, condition or term in any Transaction Document or in
any Management Agreement, the Lender may, at its option, without waiving or
affecting any of its rights or remedies hereunder, pay, perform or observe the
same, and, in connection therewith, the Lender shall be entitled to rely on any
representations and statements of the Manager under any Management Agreement in
regard to alleged breaches or violations thereof, and all payments made or costs
or expenses incurred by the Lender in connection therewith shall be repaid by
MHP to the Lender within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor, and shall be
added to and become a part of the MHP Debt. The Lender is hereby empowered to
enter and to authorize others to enter upon any MHP Property for the purpose of
performing or observing any such defaulted covenant, condition or term, without
thereby becoming liable to MHP or any Person in possession holding under MHP.
32
Section 4.3 Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. To the
---------------------------------------------------
extent permitted by law, every remedy given hereunder or in any other
Transaction Document to the Lender shall not be exclusive of any other remedy or
remedies, and every such remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every
remedy provided by statute, law, equity or otherwise. The Lender may exercise
all or any of the powers, rights or remedies given to it hereunder or which may
be now or hereafter given by statute, law, equity or otherwise, in its absolute
discretion. No course of dealing between MHP and the Lender or any delay or
omission of the Lender to exercise any power, right or remedy accruing upon any
Event of Default shall impair any power, right or remedy or shall be construed
to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or acquiescence therein, and every
power, right and remedy given by each Transaction Document to the Lender may, to
the extent permitted by law, be exercised from time to time and as often as may
be deemed expedient by the Lender.

34
in each case, other than an Action that does not involve an amount in
controversy in excess of $25,000.

Ground Lease (including all amendments, agreements, side letters and documents
relating thereto) has been delivered to NACC. Each such Ground Lease is
unmodified and in full force and effect and there is no default by it thereunder
nor, to MHP's Best Knowledge, by the lessor thereunder, and, to MHP's Best
Knowledge, no event has occurred and is continuing which, with the passage of
time and/or the giving of notice, would constitute a default or event of default
under any such Ground Lease.
(l) True and complete copies of the Operational Agreements relating to
the MHP Properties (including all amendments, agreements, side letters and all
other material documents relating thereto other than those effected in the
ordinary course of business and which individually or in the aggregate do not
have an Individual Material Adverse Effect) have been made available to the
Lender; each such agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect; to its
Best Knowledge, there is no default by any party thereunder and no event has
occurred and is continuing which, with the passage of time and/or the giving of
notice, would constitute a default or event of default by it thereunder in such
circumstances that such default or event of default might have an Individual
Material Adverse Effect. All necessary consents to the transactions described
in the Transaction Documents required by such agreements have been obtained.
Since its inception, neither MHP nor the General Partner has entered into any
agreements or obligations other than the Transaction Documents to which it is a
party and the Operational Agreements relating to the MHP
35
Properties.
(m) All necessary governmental consents, if any, to the transactions
described in the Transaction Documents have been obtained.

Properties have been obtained, are in full force and effect and are in MHP's
name or available for its use.
(p) Each of the MHP Properties has available to it adequate parking to
comply with all Legal Requirements and to permit the operation of such MHP
Property as a first class full service hotel in the case of the Hotel located in

case of the Hotels located in San Antonio, Texas, and New Orleans, Louisiana, in
each case operated in compliance with Marriott standards and the applicable

(q) MHP is not subject to any United States or state income,
unincorporated business, capital, franchise or similar gross income or income

the five (5) years ending on the date of the execution and

whether by operation of law or under regulations promulgated
under ERISA.
(s) MHP has not entered into any Transaction Document with the actual
intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor. MHP has received reasonably
equivalent value in exchange for MHP's obligations under the Transaction
Documents. The fair saleable value of MHP's assets is and immediately after the
execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents will be greater than MHP's
probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of MHP's contingent
liabilities or MHP's debts as such debts become absolute
36
and matured. MHP's assets do not and immediately after the execution and

duplicate its efforts or third party costs in complying with its obligations
under this clause (e);
(f) provide business plans and budgets relating to the MHP Properties
as may be requested by the Rating Agencies;
(g) cause its counsel to render opinions (which may be reasoned
opinions) with respect to the MHP Properties, the Entities, and the Transaction
Documents as to bankruptcy remoteness and other matters customary in

and which opinion shall be satisfactory to the Rating Agencies and reasonably
satisfactory to NACC; provided, however, that if the Rating Agencies request

manner and to the extent that the same satisfy the requirements of the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws; and

charges, losses, expenses or damages of any kind or nature, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements, which may arise in connection with (i) the
performance or non-performance by MHP of any of the Transaction Documents, or SC

or SC's operation of the SC Property and (ii) any breach or failure by MHP to

Party. It is understood that if MHP performs its obligations set forth in the
Transaction Documents and it performs its obligations under the SC Transaction
Documents, as the case may be, strictly in accordance with the terms and

and Affiliates, including, without limitation, NSI, harmless against all costs,

fact contained in the offering documents used in connection with the
Securitization based on information provided by MHP or the Manager, which
describes MHP, SC, the Manager, the MHP Properties or the SC Property (and the
management thereof) or any aspect of the MHP Loan or the SC Loan or the parties
directly involved therein, or as a result of any untrue statement of a material
fact in any of the financial statements of MHP or those of the Manager
incorporated into such offering documents or the failure to include in such
financial statements or in such offering documents any material fact relating to
MHP, SC, the Manager, the MHP Properties or the SC Property (and the management
thereof) and any aspect of the MHP Loan necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading; provided that MHP shall have had an opportunity to review,
comment on and approve the relevant portions of such offering documents. MHP
shall act reasonably and promptly in connection with its approval of the

any cost, expense or damage incurred as a result of the inclusion of any
erroneous or misleading information in such offering documents, or the omission

counsel shall have previously indicated to NACC or its counsel the erroneous or
misleading nature of such information or the omission of material information,
as the case may be. At the time of the use of such offering documents, NACC
shall execute and deliver to MHP an instrument (in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to MHP) indemnifying and holding MHP, the General Partner (and the
officers and directors thereof), and its agents and employees harmless against

agreed by MHP to be borne by it) incurred by them (including, without
limitation, all liabilities under all applicable federal and state securities
laws) caused by and directly relating to the offering described in such Offering

statement of a material fact or an omission to state a material fact in such
offering documents or in the
57
financial statements for which MHP is providing indemnification as provided
above.
(c) The obligations of MHP under this Section 7.2 shall survive
termination of this Agreement.
(d) The provisions of the sixth and seventh paragraphs of that certain

that are more burdensome than those contained in this Section 7.2.

inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and
assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that MHP may assign or

and their permitted assigns shall be deemed to have any benefits or obligations

-------------
obligations of the parties under the Transaction Documents (except for the MHP
Mortgages and the assignments of leases, rents and profits, dated the Closing

------------
of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an

---------------------------------------
Contents to this Agreement and the descriptive headings of the several Sections
and Articles of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not
in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this
Agreement. In the preparation of the Transaction Documents indistinguishable
contributions were made by representatives of NACC and MHP, and each of the
Lender and MHP waives any and all rights, either at law or in equity, to have
the provisions of any Transaction Document interpreted in favor of one over the

principal draftsmen thereof.
Section 9.6 Amendment or Waiver; Integration. No provision of this

Agreement may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but
only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of
the amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. This
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents set forth the entire agreement and
understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
thereof, and supersede any and all prior agreements and understandings of the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof including,

been relied upon by the Lender regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of it.
Section 9.8 Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment of all
-----------------
or any part of the MHP Debt, the Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender
such payment to any Person because
60
such payment is determined to be void or voidable as a preference, an
impermissible set-off, a diversion of trust funds or for any other reason, this
Agreement shall continue in full force, and MHP shall be liable to, and shall
indemnify and hold the Lender harmless for, the amount of such payment
surrendered until the Lender shall have been finally and irrevocably paid in
full. The provisions of the foregoing sentence shall be and remain effective
notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Lender in
reliance upon such payment, and any such contrary action so taken shall be
without prejudice to the Lender's rights under this Agreement and shall be
deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment having become final and
irrevocable.

OR IN CONNECTION WITH, RELATING TO, OR BASED UPON ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR
THE SUBJECT MATTER THEREOF, (II) AGREES THAT SUCH COURTS SHALL BE THE SOLE AND
EXCLUSIVE COURTS AND FORUMS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH ACTION AND (III) WAIVES
AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT, AS A DEFENSE OR OTHERWISE, IN ANY SUCH ACTION, ANY
CLAIM THAT SUCH COURTS DO NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER IT OR THAT SUCH ACTION IS
BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NOTHING CONTAINED
HEREIN SHALL LIMIT, IN ANY MANNER, THE RIGHT OF NACC TO INSTITUTE OR TAKE ANY
ACTION IN ANY COURT IN ANY JURISDICTION FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROTECTING,
PRESERVING OR REALIZING UPON ANY COLLATERAL, IF ANY, SECURING THE MHP DEBT OR
ENFORCING ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED BY IT IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSACTION
DOCUMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER THEREOF. EACH OF THE GENERAL PARTNER, MHP AND
NACC HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF,
UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, RELATING TO, OR BASED UPON ANY TRANSACTION
DOCUMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER THEREOF, AND AGREES THAT PROCESS IN ANY SUCH
ACTION, IN ADDITION TO ANY OTHER METHOD PERMITTED BY LAW, MAY BE SERVED UPON IT
BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, ADDRESSED TO THE
GENERAL PARTNER OR MHP OR NACC AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 9.1 OR AT
SUCH OTHER ADDRESS AS THE GENERAL PARTNER OR MHP OR NACC MAY DESIGNATE BY
NOTICE, AND SUCH SERVICE SHALL BE DEEMED EFFECTIVE AS IF PERSONAL SERVICE HAD
BEEN MADE UPON IT WITHIN NEW YORK COUNTY.
Section 9.10 Enforceability. Any provision of this Agreement which is
--------------
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the
61
extent permitted by applicable law, MHP hereby waives any provision of law which
renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.
Section 9.11 Conflicting Terms. In the event of any direct conflict
-----------------
between any provision of this Agreement and any provision of any other
Transaction Document, this Agreement shall govern; provided, however, that (a)
notwithstanding the foregoing, the remedies contained in the MHP Mortgages and
any other Transaction Document shall govern in the event of any direct conflict
with any remedy contained in this Agreement, and (b) the parties intend that the
terms and provisions of each of the Transaction Documents be given full effect,
and, accordingly, the provisions of the other Transaction Documents, to the
fullest extent possible, shall be construed to be additional and supplementary
to, and not in conflict with or in derogation of, the provisions of this
Agreement.
Section 9.12 Relationship of Parties. The relationship of MHP to the
-----------------------
Lender is strictly and solely that of borrower and lender and mortgagor and
mortgagee and nothing contained in any Transaction Document is intended to
create, or shall in any event or under any circumstance be construed as
creating, a partnership, joint venture, tenancy-in-common, joint tenancy or
other relationship of any nature whatsoever between MHP and the Lender other
than as borrower and lender and mortgagor and mortgagee. MHP acknowledges that
(a) NACC engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate
transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive
with the business of MHP or its Affiliates, (b) it is represented by competent
counsel and has consulted counsel before executing this Agreement and (c) it
shall rely solely on its own judgement and advisors in entering into the
transactions contemplated hereby without relying in any manner on any
statements, representations or recommendations of NACC or any Affiliate of NACC
except as set forth in Section 5.5.
