----------
to Borrower upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3.1, by
making a wire transfer in such amount to Agent at its payment office set forth

the Loan to Borrower by paying the costs and expenses required to be paid by
Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document on the Closing Date, as
directed by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1.2 hereof, and by wire transferring
the remainder of the Total Commitment, in accordance with Borrower's wire
transfer instructions to the Agent. Borrower hereby agrees to accept the Loan to
be made to it on the Closing Date, subject to and upon the terms and conditions
set forth herein.
2.1.2. Disbursement to Borrower. Borrower may request and receive only
------------------------
one borrowing hereunder in respect of the Loan. Borrower shall receive the full
amount of the Loan on the Closing Date, subject to the direction given by
Borrower to the Agent as to the application of Loan proceeds to pay the Loan
Expenses and any other fees and expenses payable by Borrower under any Loan
Document, all in accordance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement.
-11-
2.1.3 The Note. Each Lender's Commitment Percentage of the Loan shall
--------
be evidenced by a duly executed promissory note of Borrower to such Lender in
the original principal amount of each Lender's Commitment Percentage of such
Loan, and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. The
---------
Note shall bear interest as provided herein. The Note shall be subject to
repayment as provided in Section 2.4 hereof, if and when there are multiple
Notes in accordance herewith, the Notes shall be cross-defaulted, shall be
entitled to the benefits of this Credit Agreement and shall be secured by the
Pledge and the other Loan Documents.
2.1.4 Use of Proceeds of Loan. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the
-----------------------
Loan to (i) pay fees, costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with
the closing of the Loan, (ii) pay the Loan Expenses as set forth in Section
10.12 hereof, (iii) make distributions to DSMLP for further distribution to its
partners or on behalf of Borrower, (iv) pay the interest for the First Interest
Period, and (v) pay related costs or expenses in connection with any of the
foregoing.
Section 2.2 Maturity.
--------
2.2.1 Maturity Date. The Loan shall be due and payable on the
-------------
Specified Maturity Date, or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next
immediately preceding Business Day.
2.2.2 Reserved.
--------
2.2.3 Payment. Borrower agrees to pay all outstanding principal
-------
amounts under the Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon
(but excluding the date of repayment) and all other amounts owing from Borrower
to the Lenders or the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, on the
Specified Maturity Date.
Section 2.3 Principal and Interest.
----------------------
2.3.1 Principal and Interest. (a) The principal balance outstanding
----------------------
under the Loan from time to time shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal
to the Interest Rate from time to time from (and including) the Closing Date to
(but excluding) the Maturity Date.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Credit Agreement and
to the extent permitted by applicable law, if the aggregate amount of interest
payable in respect of the Note pursuant to this Section 2.3 and all other
consideration which would constitute interest for any Interest Period under
applicable law results in an effective rate of interest for any Interest Period
on such Note in excess of the maximum rate permitted by law applicable to such
Note (after giving effect to any adjustment permitted by law to
-12-
the interest rate paid or payable in any Interest Periods other than such
Interest Period), the effective rate of interest for such Interest Period for
such Note shall be limited to a rate of interest which would not cause the
effective rate to exceed the maximum legal rate.
(b) Commencing with the Payment Date on January 12, 1997, and on each
and every Payment Date thereafter through but excluding the Maturity Date, the
principal amount of the Loan and interest thereon at the Interest Rate shall be
payable in monthly installments of (i) principal based on a fully amortizing
basis (such that the entire principal amount shall be amortized as of the
Specified Maturity Date), as set forth in Schedule C attached hereto, and (ii)
----------
interest at the Interest Rate. Unless otherwise elected by Agent on behalf of
the Lenders or otherwise provided in the Cash Management Procedures, such
payments shall be applied first to the payment of interest with the remainder of
such payment being applied to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance
of the Loan.
2.3.2 Default Rate and Repayment Upon Default. (a) Notwithstanding
---------------------------------------
the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the principal of and interest on the Loan shall bear interest, payable
on demand, at a rate equal to the rate (the "Default Rate") that is the higher
------------
of (i) two percent (2%) per annum in excess of the Interest Rate and (ii) the
"Prime Rate" as published from time to time in The Wall Street Journal. Payment
or acceptance of the increased rates provided for in this Subsection 2.3.2 is
not a permitted alternative to timely payment or full performance by Borrower
and shall not constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or an
amendment to this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and shall not
otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Agent or the Lenders.
(b) If all or any part of the principal amount of the Note is paid
upon acceleration of the Loan following the occurrence of an Event of Default
then, in addition to such principal payment, Borrower shall be required to pay
the Prepayment Premium on the amount so paid which would be due if such Note had
been voluntarily prepaid on such date pursuant to Section 2.4.2.
Section 2.4 Loan Repayment.
--------------
2.4.1 Maturity. Borrower shall repay any outstanding principal
--------
indebtedness of its Loan in full on the Specified Maturity Date of its Loan,
together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to (but excluding) the
date of repayment.
2.4.2 Voluntary Prepayments. Borrower may prepay all or any portion of
---------------------
its Loan, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the
principal amount prepaid, on any Payment Date, provided (i) Borrower shall
--------
provide not less than
-13-
three (3) Business Days' prior irrevocable written notice to Agent specifying
the Payment Date on which such prepayment is to occur and indicating the
principal amount of the Note to be so prepaid, and (ii) Agent on behalf of the
Lenders is paid the applicable Prepayment Premium, if any, on or before the date
of such prepayment. Upon the giving of the notice in clause (i) above, the
principal amount of the Loan specified to be prepaid shall become due and
payable on the date specified for such prepayment. If Borrower delivers to Agent
a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.4.2 and fails to prepay its
Loan in accordance therewith, the amount of the prepayment designated in such
notice and not prepaid shall bear interest at the Default Rate. All prepayments
of principal may be made only on an Payment Date and shall include the accrued
but unpaid interest on the principal amount prepaid. Amounts prepaid on the Loan
hereunder may not be reborrowed.
2.4.3 Mandatory Prepayments. Without relieving Borrower of its
---------------------
obligations under Section 2.4.2, Borrower shall be obligated to prepay its Loan
as follows:
(a) Except as described in Section 2.4.3(b), if the Mortgaged Property
or the Property Owner's interests therein is sold, transferred or otherwise
disposed of, voluntarily or involuntarily, or if the lien of the Mortgage is
released from the Mortgaged Property, then, not later than the closing date or
effective date of such sale, transfer, disposition or release, Borrower shall
repay the Loan, in full, together with the applicable Prepayment Premium, if
any.
(b) If there shall occur a Casualty or Condemnation (as such terms are
defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) in respect of the Mortgaged Property and
as a result thereof the Mortgage Loan is prepaid in whole or in part, then, to
the extent that there shall be excess proceeds or awards available following the
application of the proceeds or awards pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan
Documents, Borrower shall repay the Loan, or a portion thereof, in the amount of
such available excess proceeds or awards, without any Prepayment Premium.
Prepayments required under this subsection (b) shall be due on the first Payment
Date occurring after the determination under the Mortgage Loan Agreement that
the related proceeds or award will be applied to the Mortgage Loan or, if such
first Payment Date is within three (3) Business Days of such determination, then
on the second Payment Date after such determination.
-14-
Section 2.5 Payments and Computations.
-------------------------
2.5.1 Making of Payments. (a) All payments hereunder or under any
------------------
other Loan Document shall be made to the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, in
U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account of Agent designated
by Agent (or to such other account as Agent may instruct Borrower in writing at
least three (3) Business Days prior to the applicable payment date) no later
than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date when due. Payments received after
such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business
Day. 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 day. Interest shall accrue from and include the date of the
Loan, but exclude the date of payment.
(b) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior
to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that Borrower
will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that Borrower has made
such payment in full to the Agent on such date, and the Agent may (but shall not
be required to), in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to
each Lender on such due date the amount then due such Lender. If and to the
extent Borrower shall not have made such payment in full to the Agent, each
Lender shall repay to the Agent on demand such amount distributed to such
Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is
distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the
Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate as in effect for each such day.
2.5.2 Computations. Interest payable on the Loan on each Payment Date
------------
shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the
period in question (i.e., with respect to the interest due on a given Payment
----
Date, from and including the last Payment Date to but excluding the current
Payment Date) over a year of 360 days.
Section 2.6 Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise
------------------
provided herein, the Loan, each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loan,
and each payment of interest on the Loan, shall be allocated by the Agent pro
rata among the Lenders in accordance with the Commitment Percentages of such
Lenders. The Agent agrees to forward to the Lenders such principal and interest
payments on the same Business Day as such amounts are received, collected or
applied by the Agent from Borrower unless the Agent receives such amounts after
11:00 a.m., New York time, in which case such payments shall be forwarded by the
Agent to the Lenders on the next Business Day.
Section 2.7 Sharing of Payments. Each Lender agrees that, in the
-------------------
event that any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any Loan owing to such
Lender under this Credit Agreement through the exercise of a right of set-off,
banker's lien,
-15-
counterclaim or otherwise (including, but not limited to, pursuant to the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code) in excess of its Commitment Percentage thereof as provided for
in this Credit Agreement, such Lender shall promptly notify the Agent of such
fact and purchase from the other Lenders a participation in such Lenders' Loan,
in such amounts and with such other adjustments from time to time, as shall be
equitable in order that all Lenders share such payment in accordance with their
respective Commitment Percentages as provided for in this Credit Agreement. Each
Lender further agrees that if a payment to a Lender (which is obtained by such
Lender through the exercise of a right of set-off, banker's lien, counterclaim
or otherwise) shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored, each Lender
which shall have shared the benefit of such payment shall, by repurchase of a
participation theretofore sold, return its share of that benefit to each Lender
whose payment shall have been rescinded or otherwise restored. Borrower agrees
that any Lender so purchasing such a participation may, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, exercise all rights of payment, including set-off, banker's
lien or counterclaim, with respect to such participation as fully as if such
Lender were a holder of the Loan or other obligation in the amount of such
participation. The Agent shall keep records (which shall be conclusive and
binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased pursuant
to this Section 2.7 and shall in each case notify the Lenders following any such
purchases. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Credit Agreement, if
any Lender shall fail to remit to the Agent or any other Lender an amount
payable by such Lender to the Agent, or such other Lender pursuant to this
Credit Agreement on the date when such amount is due, such payments shall accrue
interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is due until the day
such amount is paid to the Agent or such other Lender, at a rate per annum equal
to the Federal Funds Rate.

Documents, be greater than its probable liabilities, including the probable
maximum amount of its contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become
absolute and matured. Its assets do not, and immediately following the
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably
small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be
conducted. It does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur
debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments)
beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the
timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of its obligations).
(s) Employees. Borrower and the Property Owner each either has no
---------
employees or has no material liability which has been incurred by it and remains
unsatisfied beyond any applicable payment date for any taxes or penalties with

reasonably be cured within such 30-day period and provided further that Borrower
shall have commenced to cure such default within such 30-day period and
thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such 30-day
period shall be extended for an additional period of time as is reasonably
necessary for Borrower in the exercise of due diligence to cure such Default,
such additional period not to exceed one hundred and twenty (120) days;
(i) (i) if Borrower or the Property Owner shall (x) default in any
payment (beyond the applicable grace period with respect thereto, if any) with
respect to any other Indebtedness of $1,000,000 or more in the aggregate, or (y)
default in the observance or performance of any agreement or condition relating
to any such Indebtedness in excess of $1,000,000 or contained in any instrument
or agreement evidencing, securing or relating thereto, or any other event or
condition shall occur or condition exist, the effect of which default, in the
case of either (x) or (y), or other event or condition would permit the holder
or holders of such Indebtedness (or trustee or agent on behalf of such holders)
to cause any such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity; or
(ii) if any Indebtedness in excess of $1,000,000 of Borrower or the Property
Owner shall not be paid upon its scheduled maturity, shall be declared (or shall
become) due and payable prior to the stated maturity thereof or shall be
required to be prepaid other than by a regularly scheduled required prepayment
prior to the stated maturity thereof;
(j) if one or more final judgments or decrees shall be entered against
Borrower or the Property Owner involving a liability for which the creditor has
recourse against Borrower or the Property Owner of $250,000 or more in any
instance, or $500,000 or more in the aggregate for all such judgments and
decrees collectively (not paid or fully covered by insurance provided by a
carrier who has acknowledged coverage) and any such judgments or decrees shall
not have been vacated, discharged, paid or stayed or bonded pending appeal
within the time permitted to appeal therefrom;
-36-
(k) if there shall occur an "Event of Default" (as such term is
defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) under the Mortgage Loan Agreement or any
other Mortgage Loan Document;
(l) if there shall be an attempt on the part of Borrower or any owner
of any direct or indirect interest in Borrower to modify the terms of the
payment direction letter provided for in Section 11.1 hereof, which attempt
shall not have been cured within three (3) Business Days after notice thereof
from Agent to Borrower; or
(m) there shall occur a default on the part of Junior Lender under the

------------------------
accrued interest in respect of the Loan and the Note to be due whereupon the
same shall be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest

immediately become due and payable without the giving of any notice or other
action by Agent or any Lender;

all amounts then due, owing and unpaid for, principal, interest and other
amounts under this Credit Agreement in such order and proportions as the
Lenders in their discretion may choose.

--------------
the Agent on behalf of the Lenders hereunder, under applicable law or in equity.

AGENCY DECISIONS
----------------
As between Agent and the Lenders, the following provisions of this Article IX is
agreed and acknowledged:
Section 9.1 Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby
-----------------------------
irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Agent to take such action on
its behalf under the provisions of this Credit Agreement and each other Loan
Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly
delegated to it by the terms of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto;
provided that, subject to the terms of Sections 9.10 and 9.11, it shall at all
times remain within the authority of the Lenders and the Agent to agree as among
themselves to modify this Credit Agreement so as to expand or restrict the
powers, authority and duties of the Agent from those set forth herein.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Credit
Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Agent shall not have any duties or
-38-
responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Agent have
or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied
covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall
be read into this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist
on the part of Agent.
Section 9.2 Delegation of Duties. Agent may execute any of its
--------------------
duties under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through
agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of
counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be
responsible to the Lenders for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or
attorney-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care, but the foregoing shall
not waive any claims Borrower may have in respect thereof.
Section 9.3 Liability of Agent. Agent, its respective Affiliates, or
------------------
their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, or attorneys-in-fact
(all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as the "Agent-Related
-------------
Persons") shall not (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by
-------
any of them under or in connection with this Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) be
responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement,
representation or warranty made by Borrower or any Subsidiary or any Affiliate
of any such Person, or any officer thereof, contained in this Credit Agreement
or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other
document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in
connection with, this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for the
validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this
Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or for any failure of Borrower or any
other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or
thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender
to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the
agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Credit Agreement or any other
Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower or any
Subsidiary or Affiliates thereof. The Agent agrees to promptly furnish to each
Lender copies of all financial statements and other certificates, reports,
papers, documents or notices received by it hereunder in its capacity as Agent.
Section 9.4 Reliance by Agent.
-----------------
(a) Generally. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
---------
protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, telecopy, telex or telephone message,
statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and
correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons,
and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrower),
independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent
shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action
-39-
under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first
receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems
appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may
be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The
Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from
acting, under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance
with a request or consent of the Required Lenders, and such request and any
action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the
Lenders.
(b) Conditions Precedent. No Person that is not a Lender as of the
--------------------
Closing Date shall have any right to rely on Agent's determination as to
satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 3.1 as a condition to the
Closing of the Loan. As to any Person that is a Lender as of the Closing Date,
for purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section
3.1, each such Lender shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted
or to be satisfied with each document or other matter required thereunder to be
consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to such Lender, unless
an officer of the Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated by the
Loan Documents shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the initial
borrowing specifying its objection thereto and either such objection shall not
have been withdrawn by notice to the Agent to that effect or such Lender shall
not have made available to the Agent the Lender's ratable portion of such
borrowing.
Section 9.5 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have
-----------------
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except
with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required
to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Agent shall
have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Credit
Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such
notice is a "notice of default." In the event that the Agent receives such a
notice, the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Agent shall
take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be
requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article VII and Section
10.24, provided, however, unless and until the Agent shall have received any
such request, it may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of
Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.
Section 9.6 Credit Decision. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that
---------------
none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to
such Lender and that no act by the Agent hereinafter taken, including any review
of the affairs of Borrower, any asset manager, or any Subsidiary or Affiliate
thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the
Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agent that such Lender has,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent and based on such documents
and information as such Lender has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of
and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, properties,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and all
applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated
thereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Credit Agreement and
extend credit to Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the
-40-
Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate
at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions
in taking or not taking action under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform
itself as to the business, prospects, operations, properties, financial and
other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower. Except for notices, reports
and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by
the Agent, Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with
any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations,
properties, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower, any
asset manager or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof which may come into the
possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.
Section 9.7 Indemnification. The Lenders shall indemnify the Agent-
---------------
Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and
without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so) ratably from and against
any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expense and disbursements of any kind whatsoever which
may at any time (including at any time following the repayment of the Loan) be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Person in any way relating
to or arising out of this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any
document contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by any such Person
under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, however, no Lender
shall be liable for the payment to the Agent-Related Persons of any portion of
such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from such Person's
gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing,
each Lender shall reimburse the Agent upon demand (to the extent the Agent is
not reimbursed by Borrower) for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket
expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses, including the allocated fees
of in-house counsel) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation,
execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement
(whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal
advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Credit Agreement,
any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein
to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf
of Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Internal
Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction
asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly
-41-
withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the
appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such
Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered
the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any
other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Agent fully for all amounts paid,
directly or indirectly, by the Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties
and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts
payable to the Agent under this Section, together with all costs, expenses and
attorneys' fees (including allocated costs for in-house legal services). The
obligation of the Lenders in this Section shall survive the payment and
satisfaction of all of Borrower' obligations hereunder and under the Loan
Documents.
Section 9.8 Agent in Individual Capacity. GSMC (and any other Lender
----------------------------
that may hereafter serve as Agent) and each of their respective Affiliates may
make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from,
acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust,
financial advisory or other business with, Borrower, any asset manager and their
respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though GSMC (or any other such Lender)
were not the agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders.
The Lenders acknowledge that pursuant to such activities, GSMC or its Affiliates
may receive information regarding Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries and
Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality
obligations in favor of Borrower and such Subsidiaries and Affiliates), and that
GSMC may be deemed to be an Affiliate of Borrower and their respective
Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and acknowledge that GSMC and its Affiliates shall
be under no obligation to provide such information to the Lenders. With respect
to its interest in the Loan, GSMC (and any other Lender that may hereafter serve
as Agent) shall have the same rights and powers under this Credit Agreement as
any other Lender and may exercise the same as though each of them were not an
agent, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include GSMC (and any other
Lender that may hereafter serve as Agent), in its individual capacity.
Section 9.9 Successor Agents. The Agent may resign as Agent at any
----------------
time during the Term. If the Agent shall resign under this Credit Agreement, the
Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor Agent. If no
successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of
the retiring Agent, the retiring Agent shall appoint, after consulting with the
Lenders, a successor Agent, provided such successor is a Lender hereunder or is
--------
a commercial bank and has a combined capital and surplus of at least
$500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Agent
hereunder, such successor Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and
duties of the retiring Agent, and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor
Agent, and the retiring Agent's rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be
terminated. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the
provisions of this Article IX and the last sentence of Section 10.24 shall inure
to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be
-42-
taken by it while it was an Agent under this Credit Agreement. If no successor
Agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the effective date of a retiring
Agent's resignation, the retiring Agent's resignation shall nevertheless be
effective and the Lender holding the greatest principal amount of Notes shall
perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the
Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.
Section 9.10 One Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein that may be
---------
construed to the contrary, unless otherwise agreed to by Borrower, in its
discretion, there shall only be one Agent at any time.
Section 9.11 Required Lenders. Notwithstanding anything herein that
----------------
may be construed to the contrary, unless otherwise agreed to by Borrower, in its
discretion, the "50%" figure set forth in the definition of "Required Lenders"
shall not be increased.
Section 9.12 One Voice. Notwithstanding anything herein that may be
---------
construed to the contrary, in the enforcement of this Agreement, the Lenders
shall act only through the Agent.
Section 9.13 Certain Agreements with Respect to Transfers. The Agent
--------------------------------------------
and Lender have entered into an agreement of even date herewith with the
Property Owner and the Senior Lender regarding permitted transferees of
interests in the Loan and permitted successor Agents, which agreement shall be
binding in accordance with its terms on Agent and Lenders, provided that in no
event shall Agent or Lender be required to obtain the agreement of Borrower for
any termination, cancellation, modification or amendment of such agreement, or
any waiver thereof, in whole or in part.
ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS
-------------
Section 10.1 Survival. This Credit Agreement and all covenants,
--------
agreements, indemnities, representations and warranties made herein and in the
certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by the Lenders
of the Loan and the execution and delivery to the Lenders of the Note, and shall
continue in full force and effect so long as all or any of the Debt is
outstanding and unpaid. Whenever in this Credit Agreement any Person is
referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the legal
representatives, successors and assigns of such Person (provided that the
foregoing shall not be deemed to permit any transfer of any ownership interest
that is otherwise prohibited hereunder). All covenants, promises and agreements
in this Credit Agreement
-43-
contained, by or on behalf of Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of the
successors and assigns of Agent and the Lenders.

has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither
Agent nor any Lender, nor their respective 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, except in any case
where it is determined that Agent has acted with willful misconduct or in bad
faith. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine
whether Borrower has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking
declaratory judgment.

Section 10.13 Exhibits and Schedules Incorporated. The Exhibits and
-----------------------------------
Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Credit
Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 10.14 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of a
-----------------------------------
Lender's interest in and to this Credit Agreement, the Note and the other Loan
Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or
defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have
against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or
defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding
brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose
or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action
or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 10.15 No Joint Venture or Partnership. The parties hereto
-------------------------------
intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is
intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint
tenancy relationship between or among the parties hereto nor to grant Agent or
any Lender any interest other than that of lender secured pursuant to the terms
of the Loan Documents.
Section 10.16 Waiver of Marshaling of Assets. To the fullest extent
------------------------------
Borrower may legally do so, Borrower waives all rights to a marshaling of the
assets of such Person, its partners, if any, and others with interests in such
Person, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure
of the interests hereby created, and agrees not to assert any right under any
laws pertaining to the marshaling 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 Lenders or
the Agent on behalf of the Lenders under the Loan Documents to a sale of the
Pledged Collateral for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different
resort for collection, of the right of Lenders to the payment of the Debt out of
the net proceeds of the Pledged Collateral or any interest therein in preference
to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, Borrower for itself and its
successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the
Liens, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require
the separate sale of the Pledged Collateral or require Agent or the Lenders to
exhaust its remedies against any part of the Pledged Collateral before
proceeding against any other part or parts thereof; and further in the event of
such
-50-
foreclosure Borrower does hereby expressly consent to and authorize, at the
option of the Agent on behalf of the Lenders, the foreclosure and sale either
separately or together of any or all of the Pledged Collateral.
Section 10.17 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 Agent or any Lender, or their respective
agents.
Section 10.18 Construction of Documents. The parties hereto
-------------------------
acknowledge that they were represented by counsel in connection with the
negotiation and drafting of this Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents and
that the same shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning
against the party which drafted same.
Section 10.19 Brokers and Financial Advisors. (a) Borrower hereby
------------------------------
represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters,
placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Credit Agreement. Borrower hereby indemnifies Agent and
each Lender and each of their Subsidiaries and Affiliates and holds them
harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of
any kind in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such
Person acted on behalf of Borrower in connection with the transactions
contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section shall survive the
expiration and termination of this Credit Agreement and the repayment of the
Debt.
(b) GSMC hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial
advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Credit Agreement other
than Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co. GSMC hereby indemnifies Borrower and their respective
Subsidiaries and Affiliates and holds them harmless from and against any and all
claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind in any way relating to or
arising from a claim by any Person (including without limitation Xxxxxxx, Sachs
& Co.) that such Person acted on behalf of GSMC in connection with the
transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section shall survive
the expiration and termination of this Credit Agreement and the repayment of the
Debt.
Section 10.20 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Credit Agreement and
----------------------------
the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of the Agent, Lenders and
Borrower, and nothing contained in this Credit Agreement or the other Loan
Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than such Persons any
right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the
obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of
the Lenders to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for
the benefit of the Lenders, and no other Person shall
-51-
have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with
their terms or be entitled to assume that the holder of the Loan will refuse to
make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no
other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such
conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by
Agent or any Lender if, in Agent's sole discretion, Agent deems it advisable or
desirable to do so. The preceding sentence is subject, as between the Agent and
the Lenders, to the further limitations expressed in Section 9.4(b).
Section 10.21 Prior Agreements. This Credit Agreement and the other
----------------
Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in
respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior
agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, between
Borrower and the Lenders, in each case with respect to the subject matter
hereof, are superseded by the terms of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.
Section 10.22 Counterparts. This Credit Agreement may be executed in
------------
any number of counterparts, each of which where so executed and delivered shall
be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.
It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Credit Agreement to produce or
account for more than one such counterpart.
Section 10.23 Right of Set-Off. In addition to any rights now or
----------------
hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of
limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, the Lenders are authorized at any time and from time to
time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind (all of
which rights being hereby expressly waived), to set-off and to appropriate and
apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other indebtedness at
any time held or owing by a Lender (including, without limitation, branches,
agencies or Affiliates of a Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the
account of Borrower (to the extent such credit or account is for the benefit of
Borrower), against the obligations and liabilities of Borrower to the Lenders
hereunder, under the Note, the other Loan Documents or otherwise, and any such
set-off shall be deemed to have been made immediately upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default even though such charge is made or entered on the books of such
Lender subsequent thereto.
Section 10.24 Amendments, Waivers and Consents. Neither this Credit
--------------------------------
Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any of the terms hereof or thereof may
be materially amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated, nor shall any
consent or approval be deemed granted hereunder, unless such amendment, change,
waiver, discharge, termination, consent or approval is in writing signed by the
Required Lenders and the Agent; provided, that no such amendment, change,
--------
waiver, discharge, termination, consent or approval shall, without the consent
of each Lender, (i) extend the
-52-
scheduled maturity (including the final maturity) of the Loan, reduce the rate
or extend the time of payment of interest (other than as a result of waiving the
applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) thereon or fees
hereunder or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the Total
Commitment of the Lenders over the amount thereof in effect, (ii) amend or
modify any provision of this Section or Section 2.6, 2.7, 7.1 or 10.25, (iii)
reduce any percentage specified in, or otherwise modify, the definition of
Required Lenders, subject also to Borrower's rights under Section 9.11, or (iv)
subject to Section 5.6(c), consent to the assignment or transfer by Borrower of
any of their rights and obligations under (or in respect of) this Credit
Agreement (except to the extent permitted hereunder). No provision of Article IX
may be amended without the consent of the Agent.
Section 10.25 Benefit of Agreement.
--------------------
(a) Generally. This Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
---------
to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of
the parties hereto; provided that except as permitted under Section 5.6(b)
hereof, Borrower may not assign and transfer any of its interests without prior
written consent of the Agent on behalf of the Lenders (which consent may be
withheld in the Agent's and/or Lenders' sole discretion).
(b) Assignments. Subject to obtaining the prior consent of the
-----------
Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld, each Lender may assign all or a portion
of its rights and obligations hereunder. Borrower agrees that upon effectiveness
of any such assignment and surrender of the Note of which it has received
written notice it will promptly provide to the assigning Lender and to the
assignee separate promissory notes in the amount of their respective interests
substantially in the form of the Note (but, if applicable, with notation thereon
that it is given in substitution for and replacement of the original Note or any
replacement notes thereof). A Lender assigning an interest in the Loan shall
give Borrower reasonably prompt notice thereof following such assignment.
(c) Participations. Subject to obtaining the prior consent of the
--------------
Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld, each Lender may sell, transfer, agent or
assign participations in all or any part of such Lender's interests and
obligations hereunder; provided that such selling Lender shall remain a "Lender"
for all purposes under this Credit Agreement and the participant shall not
constitute a Lender hereunder. In the case of any such participation, the
participant shall not have any rights under this Credit Agreement or the other
Loan Documents (the participant having rights against the selling Lender in
respect of such participation to be those set forth in the participation
agreement with such Lender creating such participation) and all amounts payable
by Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such
participation. A
-53-
Lender conveying a participation interest in the Loan shall give Borrower
reasonably prompt notice thereof following such conveyance.
Section 10.26 Ability to Disclose. Notwithstanding anything to the
-------------------
contrary in the Management Agreement, the Agent may disclose information
regarding such agreement and the operation of the Hotel, and provide copies of
such agreement and any financial statements or reports delivered by the Manager
or Borrower pursuant to such agreement, to the Lenders, and any counsel to or
agents, officers, employees and representatives of any such holder, and may
disclose and describe the terms hereof and thereof in any offering memorandum,
prospectus, or registration statement or other filing required under applicable
law.
Section 10.27 Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below,
-----------
neither Agent on behalf of the Lenders nor the Lenders directly shall enforce
the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations
contained in the Note, this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents by any
action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower
(or any member, shareholder, partner or other owner of Borrower, or any separate
account contract holder, beneficial owner, advisor, consultant, manager,
fiduciary, director, officer or employee of any of the foregoing), unless,
except as expressly reserved in clause (e) below, the judgment in any such
action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of
Borrower's interest in the collateral given to Agent on behalf of the Lenders,
and Agent on behalf of the Lenders, by accepting the Note, this Credit Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not xxx for, seek or demand
any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under
or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Credit Agreement
or the other Loan Documents except for any deficiency judgment that shall be
enforced solely against or collected solely from the collateral given to Agent
on behalf of the Lenders. The provisions of this Section shall not, however,
(a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or
secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Agent on behalf of
the Lenders to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for
foreclosure and sale under the Pledge; (c) affect the validity or enforceability
of or any guaranty or indemnity made in connection with the Loan or any of the
rights and remedies of Agent on behalf of the Lenders thereunder; (d) impair the
right of Agent on behalf of the Lenders to obtain the appointment of a receiver;
or (e) constitute a waiver of the right of Agent or any of the Lenders to
enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or
otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or
other obligation incurred by Agent or any of the Lenders (including attorneys'
fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with (but
only to the extent of) the following:
-54-
(i) waste committed by or on behalf of Borrower with respect to the
Mortgaged Property or the Pledged Collateral;
(ii) fraud, misrepresentation or willful misconduct by Borrower in
connection with the Loan;
(iii) the removal or disposal by Borrower of any portion of the Mortgaged
Property after an Event of Default; and
(v) the misappropriation by Borrower of any revenues or distributions
and/or dividends from the Property Owner.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Credit Agreement or any of the
Loan Documents, neither Agent nor any of the Lenders shall be deemed to have
waived any right which Agent or any of the Lenders may have under Section
506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to
file a claim for the full amount of the Debt or to require that all collateral
shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Agent and the Lenders in
accordance with the Loan Documents.
Section 10.28 Subordination. Agent on behalf of the Lenders
-------------
acknowledges and agrees that (i) that the Loan is, and is intended by Agent on
behalf of the Lenders to be, structurally subordinated to the Mortgage Loan and
all other creditors of the Property Owner, (ii) prior to the repayment in full
of the Mortgage Loan, the assets of the Property Owner are not, and are intended
by Agent on behalf of the Lenders not to be, available to pay any of the amounts
payable with respect to the Loan except as, and then only to the extent,
permitted by the Mortgage Loan, and (iii) in the event of a consolidation where
Borrower and the Property Owner are considered as one borrower in a bankruptcy,
Agent on behalf of the Lenders acknowledges that the Loan is contractually
subordinated to the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Lender is an express third
party beneficiary of this Section.
ARTICLE XI
MEZZANINE DEPOSIT ACCOUNT
-------------------------
Section 11.1 Mezzanine Deposit Account. (a) On or prior to the date
-------------------------
hereof, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent, a payment direction letter
(which payment direction letter shall expressly state that it is irrevocable
without the written agreement of Agent), pursuant to which Borrower shall direct
Mortgage Lender, that until further written notice (countersigned by Agent) is
received by Mortgage Lender from Borrower, any and all amounts that would
otherwise be payable to Borrower in
-55-
accordance with the Cash Management Procedures shall be paid in immediately
available funds (or by wire transfer) on each date each such payment would
otherwise be payable to Borrower, directly by Mortgage Lender into an Eligible
Account designated by Agent on behalf of the Lenders (the "Mezzanine Deposit
----------------
Account") for disbursement pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof. The Mezzanine
-------
Deposit Account shall be in the name of and under the sole control of Agent on
behalf of the Lenders, and Borrower shall not have the authority or power to
make withdrawals from said account. Borrower shall be responsible for the costs
of establishing and maintaining the Mezzanine Deposit Account. The same shall
not be a "Sub-account" under the Cash Collateral Procedures.
(b) To the extent the Property Owner or Borrower is required to
request of the Mortgage Lender (or its agents) under the Mortgage Loan Agreement
or any other Mortgage Loan Document to obtain the release to the Property Owner
or Borrower of monies, then Borrower agrees that it shall, in all cases
sufficiently prior to the intended release date so as to constitute an effective
request under the Mortgage Loan Agreement, send or cause the Property Owner to
send written notice to the Mortgage Lender requesting the Mortgage Lender to
transfer (or authorize the transfer) of such monies to the Mezzanine Deposit
Account.
Section 11.2 Disbursements from the Mezzanine Deposit Account;
-------------------------------------------------
Borrower's Obligation to Fund Deposit Account.
---------------------------------------------
11.2.1 Disbursements. On each Payment Date during the Term, provided
-------------
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and subject to
Section 11.2.2, Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall transfer from the Mezzanine
Deposit Account (or authorize such transfer), to the extent available therein,
the following payments in the following order of priority:
(a) to Agent on behalf of the Lenders, the monthly debt service
payment amount for the Loan, which amount shall immediately be available and
payable to Agent on behalf of the Lenders;
(b) to Agent on behalf of the Lenders, any and all other fees, costs
and expenses payable under the Loan;
(c) to the extent payable following an Event of Default hereunder, to
Agent on behalf of the Lenders, an amount equal to the interest accrued and
unpaid under the Note at the excess of the Default Rate over the Interest Rate;
and
(d) if no Event of Default has occurred, to Junior Lender as provided
for in the Cash Management Procedures; provided that in Agent's sole discretion,
Agent
-56-
may permit a distribution under this clause (d) notwithstanding the occurrence
of such Event of Default.
11.2.2 Obligation to Fund; Deemed Payment. In the event that on any
----------------------------------
Payment Date the amount in the Mezzanine Deposit Account, together with
available amounts in the Mezzanine Debt Service Reserve Account, shall be
insufficient to make all of the transfers described in Sections 11.2.1(a)
through (c) above, Borrower shall deposit into the Mezzanine Deposit Account on
such Payment Date the amount of such deficiency, and if Borrower shall fail to
make such deposit, the same shall be an Event of Default and, in addition to all
other rights and remedies provided for hereunder, Agent on behalf of the Lenders
may disburse and apply the amounts in the Mezzanine Deposit Account in such
order as Agent on behalf of the Lenders may determine. If on any Payment Date
the amount in the Mezzanine Deposit Account, together with available amounts in
the Mezzanine Debt Service Reserve Account, shall be sufficient to make all of
the transfers described in Sections 11.2.1 (a) through (c), Borrower shall be
deemed to have paid the monthly debt service payment amount unless Agent on
behalf of the Lenders is legally constrained from transferring such amount in
accordance with Sections 11.2.1(a) through (c), including by reason of any
bankruptcy or insolvency related to Borrower (but excluding legal constraints
related to Agent and Lender).
Section 11.3 No Release if Event of Default Exists. Notwithstanding
-------------------------------------
the terms hereof, in no event shall Agent or any of the Lenders have any
obligation to disburse funds from the Mezzanine Deposit Account for so long as
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
Section 11.4 Grant of Security Interest; Rights upon Default.
-----------------------------------------------
(a) Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants a first priority security
interest to Agent on behalf of the Lenders, as security for payment of all sums
due in respect of the Loan and the performance of all other terms, conditions
and covenants of this Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document on Borrower'
part to be paid and performed, all of Borrower's right, title and interest in
and to the Mezzanine Deposit Account, together with the deposits therein,
including all interest earned thereon. Borrower shall not, without obtaining
the prior written consent of Agent, further pledge, assign or grant any security
interest in the Mezzanine Deposit Account, or permit any Lien or encumbrance to
attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 financing
statements, except those naming Agent on behalf of the Lenders as the secured
party, to be filed with respect thereto.
(b) Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Agent on behalf of the Lenders may apply amounts in the Mezzanine
Deposit Account, for any of the following purposes relating to the Loan or
Borrower's obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and in any
order, as Agent on behalf of the
-57-
Lenders shall elect in its sole discretion: (i) with respect to the Mortgaged
Property, capital contributions on behalf of Borrower to the Property Owner for
the purpose of paying Taxes and Other Charges and Insurance Premiums (as such
terms are defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement); (ii) interest on the unpaid
principal balance of the Note; (iii) amortization of the unpaid principal
balance of the Note; (iv) Default Interest; (v) reimbursement of Agent and the
Lenders for all losses and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) suffered
or incurred by Agent or the Lenders as a result of such Event of Default; (vi)
capital contributions on behalf of Borrower to the Property Owner for the
purpose of paying the cost of any repair or replacement to the Mortgaged
Property; (vii) payment of any amount expended in exercising rights and remedies
available to Agent and the Lenders at law or in equity or under this Credit
Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents; or (viii) any other portion
of the Debt, including the Prepayment Premiums applicable to any full or partial
prepayment; provided Prepayment Premiums and Default Interest will not be
applied to repayment of the Debt prior to payment in full of all principal and
accrued interest (other than Default Interest).
Section 11.5 Agents and the Lenders Not Responsible. Nothing in this
--------------------------------------
Article XI or elsewhere in the Loan Documents shall make Agent or the Lenders
responsible for making or completing any work in respect of the Mortgaged
Property, or obligate Agent or the Lenders to demand from Borrower additional
sums to make or complete any work.

Subject to the qualifications below, neither Agent on behalf of the
Lenders nor the Lenders directly shall enforce the liability and obligation of
Maker to perform and observe the obligations contained in this Note, the Credit
Agreement or other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money
judgment shall be sought against Maker (or any member, shareholder, partner or

of the Lenders. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (a)
constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or
secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Agent on behalf of
the Lenders to name Maker as a party defendant in any action or suit for

(ii) fraud, misrepresentation or willful misconduct by Borrower in
connection with the Loan;

(iv) the misappropriation by Borrower of any revenues or
distributions and/or dividends from the Property Owner.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note or any of the Loan
Documents, neither Agent nor any of the Lenders shall be deemed to have waived
any right which Agent or any of the Lenders may have under Section 506(a),
506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a

with the Loan Documents.
-4-
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note and to the extent
permitted by applicable law, if the aggregate amount of interest payable in
respect of this Note and all other consideration which would constitute interest
for any Interest Period under applicable law results in an effective rate of
interest for any Interest Period on this Note in excess of the maximum rate
permitted by law applicable to this Note (after giving effect to any adjustment
permitted by law to the interest rate paid or payable in any Interest Periods
other than such Interest Period), the effective rate of interest for such
Interest Period for this Note shall be limited to a rate of interest which would
not cause the effective rate to exceed the maximum legal rate, and the effective
rate for all other Notes shall be increased in a manner such that (i) the
aggregate payment of additional interest due on all Notes after such adjustments
shall be equal to the aggregate interest payment due on all Notes had no
adjustments been necessary, and (ii) the amount of additional interest accrued
on all such other Notes is increased pro rata based upon the outstanding
--- ----
principal balances thereof, but shall not be increased to a rate in excess of
the maximum legal rate applicable to such other Notes.
Whenever used, the singular number shall include the plural the singular,
and the words "Holder" and "Maker" shall include their respective successors,
assigns, heirs, executors and administrators as permitted under the Loan
Documents.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Maker has caused its duly authorized officers to
execute this Note on its behalf, as of the day and year first above written.
