Article I

GENERAL TERMS

Section 1.1. The Loan; Term.

(a) On the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender shall make a loan to Borrower (the “Loan”) in an amount equal to the Loan Amount. The Loan shall initially be represented by a single Note that shall bear interest as described in this Agreement at a per annum rate as provided in Section 1.2(a). If the Note is subdivided pursuant to Section 1.1(c), each of the Notes shall be pari passu and of equal rank without priority or preference of one over the other (except following repayments of principal during the continuance of an Event of Default). Interest payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the related Interest Accrual Period.

(b) The Loan shall be secured by the Collateral pursuant to the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(c) Upon written notice from Lender to Borrower, the Note will be deemed to have been subdivided into multiple components (“Note Components”). Each Note Component shall have such notional balance as Lender shall specify in such notice and an interest rate equal to the sum of LIBOR plus such amount as Lender shall specify in such notice (“Component Spread”); provided that the sum of the principal balances of all Note Components shall at all times (i.e., no “rate creep”) equal the then-current Principal Indebtedness, and the weighted average of the Component Spreads, weighted on the basis of their respective principal balances, shall equal the percentage set forth in clause (i) of the definition of “Spread” (except following repayments of principal during the continuance of an Event of Default). Borrower shall be treated as the obligor with respect to each of the Note Components, and Borrower acknowledges that each Note Component may be individually beneficially owned by a separate Person subject to the terms hereof regarding the Assignment of the Loan. The Note Components need not be represented by separate physical Notes, but if requested by Lender, each Note Component shall be represented by a separate physical Note, in which case Borrower shall execute and return to Lender each such Note promptly following Borrower’s receipt of an execution copy thereof.

(d) Borrower shall have one option to extend the scheduled Maturity Date of the Loan to the Payment Date in the month containing the one-year anniversary of the scheduled Maturity Date (the period of the extension, an “Extension Term”), provided that, as a condition to such Extension Term (i) Borrower shall deliver to Lender written notice of such extension at least 30 and not more than 90 days prior to the scheduled Maturity Date; (ii) no Event of Default shall be continuing on either the date of such notice or the Maturity Date as theretofore in effect; (iii) the Debt Yield for the Property for the Test Period ending immediately prior to the Maturity Date as theretofore in effect shall be no less than the Debt Yield Threshold; provided that if the Debt Yield is less than the Debt Yield Threshold, Borrower shall be permitted to prepay the Loan in the amount required to cause the Debt Yield to equal the applicable Debt Yield Threshold, which prepayment shall be made pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 2.1 but without the notice required thereunder, (iv) Borrower shall have obtained an Interest Rate Cap Agreement for the applicable Extension Term and collaterally assigned such Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Lender pursuant to an Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement; (v) Borrower shall have paid a fee in an amount equal to 0.75% of the Principal Indebtedness; and (vi) Borrower shall have reimbursed Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such extension. If Borrower fails to exercise any extension option in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, such extension option, and any subsequent extension option hereunder, will automatically cease and terminate.

Section 1.2. Interest and Principal.

(a) On each Payment Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender (to be applied to each Note on a pro rata, pari passu basis, if applicable) interest on the Principal Indebtedness for the applicable Interest Accrual Period at a rate per annum equal to (i) at any time the Loan is a LIBOR Loan, the sum of LIBOR, determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately preceding such Interest Accrual Period, plus the applicable Spread and (ii) at any time the Loan is a Prime Rate Loan, the sum of the Prime Rate, determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately preceding such Interest Accrual Period, plus the applicable Prime Rate Spread (except that in each case, interest shall be payable on the Indebtedness, including due but unpaid interest, at the Default Rate with respect to any portion of such Interest Accrual Period falling during the continuance of an Event of Default). As of the Closing Date, the Loan is a LIBOR Loan, and except as provided in Section 1.2(e), the Loan shall at all times be a LIBOR Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay interest from and including the Closing Date through the end of the first Interest Accrual Period, in lieu of making such payment on the first Payment Date following the Closing Date (unless the Closing Date falls on a Payment Date, in which case, no interest will be collected on the Closing Date, and Borrower shall make the payment required pursuant to this Section commencing on the first Payment Date following the Closing Date) and the next payment of interest shall be due and payable on the next subsequent Payment Date.

(b) No prepayments of the Loan shall be permitted except for (i) prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.1, Section 2.3 and Section 5.4 and (ii) prepayments resulting from Casualty or Condemnation as described in Section 5.16. The entire outstanding Principal Indebtedness, together with all interest thereon through (x) prior to a Securitization, the Maturity Date and (y) after a Securitization, the end of the Interest Accrual Period in which the Maturity Date falls (calculated only after a Securitization as if such Principal Indebtedness were outstanding for the entire Interest Accrual Period) and, in each case, all other amounts then due under the Loan Documents shall be due and payable by Borrower to Lender on the Maturity Date.

(c) If all or any portion of the Principal Indebtedness is paid to Lender during the Spread Maintenance Period following acceleration of the Loan (except as a result of a Casualty or Condemnation), Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to the applicable Spread Maintenance Premium. Amounts received in respect of the Indebtedness during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be applied toward interest, principal and other components of the Indebtedness (in such order as Lender shall determine) before any such amounts are applied toward payment of any Spread Maintenance Premium that is due and payable, with the result that any Spread Maintenance Premium that is due and payable shall accrue as the Principal Indebtedness is repaid but no amount received from Borrower shall constitute payment of a Spread Maintenance Premium until the remainder of the Indebtedness shall have been paid in full. Borrower acknowledges that (i) a prepayment during the Spread Maintenance Period will cause damage to Lender; (ii) the Spread Maintenance Premium is intended to compensate Lender for the loss of its investment and the expense incurred and time and effort associated with making the Loan, which will not be fully repaid if the Loan is prepaid; (iii) it will be extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of Lender’s damages caused by a prepayment after an acceleration or any other prepayment during the Spread Maintenance Period; and (iv) the Spread Maintenance Premium represents Lender’s and Borrower’s reasonable estimate of Lender’s damages from the prepayment and is not a penalty.

(d) Any payments of interest and/or principal not paid when due hereunder shall bear interest at the applicable Default Rate from and after the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods and, in the case of all payments due hereunder other than the repayment of the Principal Indebtedness on the Maturity Date if not paid when due, when paid shall be accompanied by a late fee in an amount equal to the lesser of 5% of such unpaid sum and the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, in order to defray a portion of 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.

(e) In the event that Lender shall determine in its reasonable discretion that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR in accordance with the definition thereof, then the Loan shall be converted to a Prime Rate Loan effective as of the commencement of the Interest Accrual Period following the date of such determination, and Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower by telephone at least one day prior to the applicable Interest Determination Date (which notice shall thereafter be promptly confirmed by Lender in writing). If, pursuant to this Section, any portion of the Loan has been converted to a Prime Rate Loan and Lender thereafter determines in its reasonable discretion that the events or circumstances that resulted in such conversion are no longer applicable, the Loan shall be converted to a LIBOR Loan effective as of the commencement of the Interest Accrual Period following the date of such determination, and Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower by telephone at least one day prior to the applicable Interest Determination Date (which notice shall thereafter be promptly confirmed by Lender in writing). Borrower shall pay to Lender, promptly following demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Section. In the event any Note has been divided into multiple Notes or Note Components pursuant to Section 1.1(c), upon any conversion of the Loan pursuant to this Section the interest rate applicable to such Notes or Note Components shall be proportionately adjusted to reflect such conversion. Except as provided in this Section, the Loan shall at all times be a LIBOR Loan. In no event shall Borrower have the right to convert a LIBOR Loan to a Prime Rate Loan.

(f) In the event of a sale (including a foreclosure sale), refinancing, Transfer, or other disposition or liquidation of any or all of the Mortgage Loan Collateral, in each case, during the continuance of, or resulting in, an Event of Default, except to the extent otherwise permitted hereunder or under the Mortgage Loan Documents, Borrower shall cause to be paid to Lender as a mandatory prepayment of the Loan, all amounts paid to and actually received by or on behalf of Mortgage Borrower, Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates in connection therewith (and to the extent such amounts are not deposited with Mortgage Lender), less any amounts required or permitted to be held by or for the benefit of or delivered to Mortgage Lender pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents.

(g) In the event that (i) proceeds are realized by Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates under Mortgage Borrower’s policy of title insurance with respect to a claim made thereunder, and (ii) such proceeds are not required or permitted to be held by or for the benefit of or delivered to Mortgage Lender, then Borrower shall cause to be remitted to Lender the amount of such proceeds, less any amount required to cure the applicable title defect and Borrower’s or Mortgage Borrower’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with effectuating such claim and curing such title defect, and such amount shall be held by Lender in an Eligible Account as additional Collateral for the Loan or if there has been a cure of the foregoing title defect and no Event of Default is then continuing, such funds shall be returned to Borrower.

Section 1.3. Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made to Lender not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by wire transfer in federal or other immediately available funds to the account specified from time to time by Lender. Any funds received by Lender after such time shall be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day. Lender shall notify Borrower in writing of any changes in the account to which payments are to be made. If the amount received from Borrower (or from the Mortgage Loan Cash Management Account pursuant to Section 3.2(b) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement) is less than the sum of all amounts then due and payable hereunder and as a result an Event of Default has occurred, such amount shall be applied, at Lender’s sole discretion, either toward the components of the Indebtedness (e.g., interest, principal and other amounts payable hereunder) and the Note and Note Components, in such sequence as Lender shall elect in its sole discretion, or toward the payment of Property expenses. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.

Section 1.4. Taxes; Regulatory Change.

(a) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any present or future stamp, documentary or other similar or related taxes or other similar or related charges now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority by reason of the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and any consents, waivers, amendments and enforcement of rights under the Loan Documents.

(b) Reasonably promptly following Borrower’s request, the Lender at the time the Loan is made and any Person to whom there has been an Assignment shall complete and deliver to Borrower a duly executed Form W-9 certifying that it is not subject to backup withholding or an appropriate IRS Form W-8, as applicable. If Borrower is required by law to withhold or deduct any amount from any payment hereunder in respect of any Borrower Tax, Borrower shall withhold or deduct the appropriate amount, remit such amount to the appropriate Governmental Authority and pay to the Lender and each Person to whom there has been an Assignment or Participation of the Loan (Lender and all such Persons, collectively, “Lender Parties” and each individually, a “Lender Party”) such additional amounts as are necessary in order that the net payment of any amount due hereunder, after deduction for or withholding in respect of any Borrower Tax imposed with respect to such payment, will not be less than the amount stated in this Agreement to be then due and payable; except that the foregoing obligation to pay such additional amounts shall not apply to (i) Inapplicable Taxes; (ii) any amount of U.S. Tax in effect and applicable to payments to Lender on the date of this Agreement, provided that Borrower requests from Lender, if necessary to prevent the imposition of such U.S. Tax, a Form W-9 or W-8, as applicable, reasonably in advance of when withholding in respect of such U.S. Tax would be required absent the receipt of such form; (iii) with respect to payments made under this Agreement to any Lender Party to whom there has been an Assignment or Participation, any amount of U.S. Tax imposed, to the extent that the receipt of additional amounts in respect of such U.S. Tax would entitle the Lender Party to receive greater payment than the assignor would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights assigned, unless such assignment shall have been made at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist; (iv) any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed under FATCA; or (v) any amount of Borrower Taxes imposed solely by reason of the failure by an assignee to comply with Section 9.7(c). If Borrower shall fail to pay any Borrower Taxes or other amounts that Borrower is required to pay pursuant to this Section, and Lender or any Person to whom there has been an Assignment or Participation of a Loan pays the same, Borrower shall reimburse Lender or such Person promptly following demand therefore in the currency in which such taxes or other amounts are paid, whether or not such taxes were correctly or legally asserted, together with interest thereon from and including the date of payment to but excluding the date of reimbursement at a rate per annum equal to the rate required to be paid under Section 1.2(a) for the first five (5) Business Days from and including the date of payment and demand to Borrower and the Default Rate thereafter.

(c) Within 30 days after paying any amount from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within 30 days after it is required by law to remit such deduction or withholding to any relevant taxing or other authority, Borrower shall deliver to Lender reasonably satisfactory evidence of such deduction, withholding or payment (as the case may be).

(d) If, as a result of any Regulatory Change, any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with, Lender or any holder of all or a portion of the Loan is imposed, modified or deemed applicable and the result is to increase the cost to such Lender or such holder of making or holding the Loan, or to reduce the amount receivable by Lender or such holder hereunder in respect of any portion of the Loan by an amount deemed by Lender or such holder in its reasonable discretion to be material (such increases in cost and reductions in amounts receivable, “Increased Costs”), then Borrower agrees that it will pay to Lender or such holder upon Lender’s or such holder’s request such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender and/or such holder for such Increased Costs to the extent that such Increased Costs are reasonably allocable to the Loan and are also being paid by borrowers under similar loans held by Lender or such holder. Lender will notify Borrower in writing of any event occurring after the Closing Date that will entitle Lender or any holder of the Loan to compensation pursuant to this Section as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation and will designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. If such Lender shall fail to notify Borrower of any such event within six (6) months following the end of the month during which such event occurred, then Borrower’s liability for any amounts described in this Section incurred by such Lender as a result of such event shall be limited to those attributable to the period occurring subsequent to the date that is six (6) months prior to the date upon which such Lender actually notified Borrower of the occurrence of such event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Borrower be required to compensate Lender or any holder of the Loan for any portion of the income or franchise taxes of Lender or such holder, whether or not attributable to payments made by Borrower. If a Lender requests compensation under this Section, Borrower may, by notice to Lender, require that such Lender furnish to Borrower a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof.

Section 1.5. Interest Rate Cap Agreements.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrower shall obtain, and thereafter maintain in effect, an Interest Rate Cap Agreement, which shall be coterminous with the initial term of the Loan and have a notional amount equal to the Loan Amount. Any initial Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall have a strike rate equal to or less than the Strike Rate.

(b) If Borrower exercises any of its options to extend the term of the Loan pursuant to Section 1.1(d), on or prior to the commencement of the applicable Extension Term, Borrower shall obtain, and thereafter maintain in effect, an Interest Rate Cap Agreement having (x) a term coterminous with such Extension Term, (y) a notional amount at least equal to the Principal Indebtedness as of the first day of such Extension Term, and (z) a strike rate equal to or less than the Strike Rate.

(c) Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender pursuant to an Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement all of its right, title and interest in any and all payments under each Interest Rate Cap Agreement and shall deliver to Lender an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement and obtain the consent of the Acceptable Counterparty to such collateral assignment (as evidenced by the Acceptable Counterparty’s execution of such Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement).

(d) Borrower shall comply with all of its material obligations under the terms and provisions of each Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid under an Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be deposited directly into the Clearing Account. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the counterparty thereunder and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder without the approval of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(e) If, at any time during the term of the Loan, the counterparty to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement then in effect ceases to be an Acceptable Counterparty and thereafter fails to abide by the requirements set forth in such Interest Rate Cap Agreement with respect to ratings downgrades, then Borrower shall promptly obtain a replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement satisfying the requirements set forth in paragraph (a) or (b) above, as applicable, with a counterparty that is an Acceptable Counterparty.

(f) In connection with closing of the Loan and at any time that Borrower obtains a replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement pursuant to this Section, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a legal opinion or opinions from counsel to the applicable Acceptable Counterparty (which counsel may be internal counsel) with respect to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.

Section 1.6. Release. Upon payment of the Indebtedness in full when permitted or required hereunder, Lender shall execute instruments prepared by Borrower and reasonably satisfactory to Lender, which, at Borrower’s election and at Borrower’s sole cost and expense either (a) release and discharge all Liens on all Collateral securing payment of the Indebtedness (subject to Borrower’s obligation to pay any associated fees and expenses), including all balances in the Collateral Accounts (if Collateral Accounts are being maintained hereunder rather than under the Mortgage Loan Agreement); or (b) assign such Liens (and the Loan Documents) to a new lender designated by Borrower. Any release or assignment provided by Lender pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind other than that the Loan is not subject to any Lien.

Article II

VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENT AND ASSUMPTION

Section 2.1. Voluntary Prepayment.

(a) Borrower shall have the right, at its option, upon 30 days’ prior written notice to Lender, to prepay the Loan in whole or in part at any time, provided that Mortgage Borrower shall make a simultaneous and pro-rata prepayment of the Mortgage Loan, with the result that the ratio of the Principal Indebtedness to the Mortgage Loan Principal Indebtedness remains unchanged. Each such prepayment shall be accompanied by (i) the amount of interest that would have been earned on the Loan during the Interest Accrual Period relating to the applicable Payment Date (if prepaid on a Payment Date) or the succeeding Payment Date (if prepaid on any date other than a Payment Date) had the prepayment not occurred and (ii) except as otherwise provided herein, the Spread Maintenance Premium if such prepayment occurs during the Spread Maintenance Period. Following any such prepayment, Borrower may release or transfer, free and clear of the Lien of the Loan Documents, a portion of the notional amount of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement equal to the amount of such prepayment. Borrower’s notice of prepayment shall create an obligation of Borrower to prepay the Loan as set forth therein, but may be rescinded with five (5) Business Days’ written notice to Lender (of the original or extended date, but subject to payment of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses resulting from such rescission) or extended by up to thirty (30) days by written notice to Lender delivered no less five (5) Business Days prior to the intended prepayment.

(b) If the Note has been bifurcated into multiple Note Components pursuant to Section 1.1(c), so long as no Event of Default is then continuing, all prepayments of the Loan shall be applied to the Note Components pro rata. During the continuance of an Event of Default, any prepayment of the Loan shall be applied in such order as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion.

(c) If the Debt Yield is less than the applicable Debt Yield Threshold as of the Test Period immediately prior to the Extension Term, Borrower shall be permitted to (but not obligated to) prepay a portion of the Loan (and Mortgage Borrower shall make a simultaneous pro rata prepayment of the Mortgage Loan) in the aggregate amount required to cause the Debt Yield to equal or exceed the Debt Yield Threshold, which prepayment shall be accompanied by interest on the principal amount so prepaid through (x) prior to a Securitization, the date such prepayment is made and (y) after a Securitization, the end of the Interest Accrual Period in which such prepayment is made; provided, however, that none of the Mortgage Loan Future Funding Component shall be used to prepay the Mortgage Loan or Mezzanine Loan.

(d) Borrower shall be permitted to (but not obligated to) prepay a portion of the Loan (and Mortgage Borrower shall make a simultaneous pro rata prepayment of the Mortgage Loan) in the aggregate amount necessary to increase the Debt Yield to avoid the commencement of a Cash Flow Sweep Period or, if there is an ongoing Cash Flow Sweep Period, to cause the termination of such Cash Flow Sweep Period, which prepayment shall be accompanied by interest on the principal amount so prepaid through (x) prior to a Securitization, the date such prepayment is made and (y) after a Securitization, the end of the Interest Accrual Period in which such prepayment is made; provided, however, that none of the Mortgage Loan Future Funding Component shall be used to prepay the Mortgage Loan or Mezzanine Loan. So long no Event of Default is then continuing, Borrower shall have the right (but not the obligation) to direct Lender to use funds in the Cash Flow Sweep Reserve Account, if any, to prepay the Loan and make a simultaneous pro rata prepayment of the Mortgage Loan in the aggregate amount necessary to increase the Debt Yield to avoid the commencement of a Cash Flow Sweep Period or, if there is an ongoing Cash Flow Sweep Period, to cause the termination of such Cash Flow Sweep Period.

Section 2.2. Transfers of Equity Interests in Borrower.

(a) No direct equity interests in Mortgage Borrower shall be conveyed or otherwise transferred to any Person under any circumstances. No direct or indirect equity interests in Borrower shall be conveyed or otherwise transferred to any Person without Lender’s approval (in its sole discretion), except in connection with a foreclosure by any Additional Mezzanine Lender under the Additional Mezzanine Loan Documents, or unless the following conditions are satisfied:

Article III
ACCOUNTs

Section 3.1. Mortgage Loan Cash Management Account. On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrower shall cause the Mortgage Borrower to cause the Clearing Account, the Operating Account, the Mortgage Loan Cash Management Account and each of the other Mortgage Loan Collateral Accounts to be established and thereafter maintained, each in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Documents.

Section 3.2. Distributions from the Mortgage Loan Cash Management Account. Borrower and Lender acknowledge that, subject to, and in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, during the continuance of a Mortgage Loan Event of Default, Mortgage Lender may elect to remit no amount to Lender, but the same shall not excuse Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.

Section 3.3. Mortgage Loan Covenants; Replacement of Mortgage Loan Collateral Accounts.

(a) Borrower hereby covenants that it shall cause Mortgage Borrower to fully comply with each of the covenants of Mortgage Borrower set forth in Article III of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, as in effect as of the date hereof, notwithstanding any waiver or future amendment of such covenants (unless Lender shall have given its prior written consent to any such waiver or amendment which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as no Event of Default is then continuing). Borrower shall not accept any remittance from the “Capital Expenditure Reserve Account” or “Unfunded Obligations Account” (as such term are defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) unless and until Lender has received copies of all materials required to be delivered to Mortgage Lender under Sections 3.7 and 3.11 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement in respect thereof. During the continuance of a Cash Flow Sweep Period, Borrower shall not accept any remittance from the Mortgage Loan Cash Management Account in respect of Property expenditures that are not Budgeted Operating Expenses unless approved by Lender in writing.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Mortgage Loan is repaid, if and as required from time to time by the Mortgage Loan Documents had they still been in effect, but in all cases other than the Unfunded Obligations Account to the extent the Borrower has provided an Unfunded Obligations Guaranty, (i) Borrower shall immediately establish and maintain, with an Eligible Institution selected by Lender and reasonably approved by Borrower and pursuant to the terms of the cash management agreement entered into by and among Borrower, Mortgage Lender and Cash Management Bank (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) on the substantially same terms as the Mortgage Loan Cash Management Agreement, reserves in Eligible Accounts in replacement and substitution of such Mortgage Loan Collateral Accounts for the benefit of Lender, which substitute reserves and accounts shall be subject to all of the same terms and conditions applicable under the Mortgage Loan Documents with respect to the Mortgage Loan Collateral Account(s) being replaced mutatis mutandis, it being the intent of Lender and Borrower that such substitute reserves and accounts replicate in purpose and function the Mortgage Loan Collateral Account(s) no longer held by the Mortgage Lender; and (ii) Borrower shall remit, or cause Mortgage Borrower to remit, to such Eligible Accounts for the benefit of Lender any funds from the Mortgage Loan Collateral Accounts that were remaining in such reserves at the time of the termination of such reserves for the purpose of funding the equivalent substitute reserves and Borrower or Lender, as applicable, shall cause such accounts to be funded and Lender shall cause disbursements to be made therefrom, all in accordance with the terms of Article III of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Cash Management Agreement. All accounts established pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall constitute Collateral Accounts.

(c) Borrower shall, and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to, execute any and all documents reasonably necessary for the implementation or furtherance of the actions contemplated in this Section 3.3, including an amendment to this Agreement incorporating into this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, the cash management provisions in the Mortgage Loan Agreement.

Section 3.4. Account Collateral.

(a) Borrower hereby pledges the Account Collateral to Lender as security for the Indebtedness, together with all rights of a secured party with respect thereto, it being the intention of the parties that such pledge shall be a perfected first-priority security interest. Each Collateral Account shall be an Eligible Account under the sole dominion and control of Lender subject to the terms hereof. Subject to the terms hereof, Borrower shall have no right to make withdrawals from any of the Collateral Accounts other than the Operating Account. Funds in the Collateral Accounts shall not be commingled with any other monies at any time. Borrower shall execute any additional documents that Lender in its reasonable discretion may require and shall provide all other evidence reasonably requested by Lender to evidence or perfect its first-priority security interest in the Account Collateral. Funds in the Collateral Accounts shall be invested only in Permitted Investments, which Permitted Investments shall be credited to the related Collateral Account. All income and gains from the investment of funds in the Collateral Accounts other than the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account shall be retained in the Collateral Accounts from which they were derived. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, all income and gains from the investment of funds in any Collateral Account established pursuant to Section 3.3 in substitution of the “Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account” (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) shall be for the account of Lender in consideration of its administration of such Collateral Account, and Lender shall have the right at any time to withdraw such amounts from such Collateral Account. All reasonable fees of the any Eligible Institution at which any Collateral Account shall be established pursuant to the terms hereof shall be paid by Borrower pursuant to the agreement with such Eligible Institution governing such Eligible Account. After the Loan and all other Indebtedness have been paid in full, the Collateral Accounts shall be closed and the balances therein, if any, shall be paid to Borrower.

(b) The insufficiency of amounts contained in the Collateral Accounts shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all covenants contained in the Loan Documents.

(c) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, in its sole discretion, apply funds in the Collateral Accounts, and funds resulting from the liquidation of Permitted Investments contained in the Collateral Accounts, either toward the components of the Indebtedness (e.g., interest, principal and other amounts payable hereunder), the Loan, the Note Components and the Notes in such sequence as Lender shall elect in its sole discretion, and/or toward the payment of Property expenses.

Section 3.5. Bankruptcy. Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code and the Account Collateral shall be deemed not to be property of Borrower’s bankruptcy estate within the meaning of Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code. If, however, a court of competent jurisdiction determines that, notwithstanding the foregoing characterization of the Account Collateral by Borrower and Lender, the Account Collateral does constitute property of Borrower’s bankruptcy estate, then Borrower and Lender further acknowledge and agree that all funds deposited therein, are and shall be cash collateral of Lender. Borrower acknowledges that Lender does not consent to Borrower’s use of such cash collateral and that, in the event Lender elects (in its sole discretion) to give such consent, such consent shall only be effective if given in writing signed by Lender. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, Borrower shall not have the right to use or apply or require the use or application of such cash collateral (i) unless Borrower shall have received a court order authorizing the use of the same, and (ii) Borrower shall have provided such adequate protection to Lender as shall be required by the bankruptcy court in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 4.15. Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact heretofore delivered by Guarantor or Borrower to Lender in writing in respect of the Guarantor, Property, the Collateral or Borrower knowingly contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained therein not misleading unless subsequently corrected (except that the foregoing representation, as it relates to any Environmental Report, Engineering Report, Title Policy and zoning report delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan, shall be limited to Borrower’s knowledge). There is no fact, event or circumstance presently known to Borrower that has not been disclosed to Lender that has had or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.16. Financial Condition. Borrower has heretofore delivered to Lender financial statements and operating statements with respect to the Property for the past three calendar years, and trailing twelve-month operating statements. Such statements are accurate and complete in all material respects and fairly present in accordance with GAAP the financial position of Borrower in all material respects as of their respective dates and do not knowingly omit to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained therein not misleading.

The Loan is solely for the business purpose of Borrower or for distribution to Borrower’s equityholders in accordance with Legal Requirements and no portion thereof shall be used for personal, consumer, household or similar purposes.

Section 4.21. Title.

(a) Borrower has good and indefeasible title to the Collateral, free and clear of all Liens except the Mezzanine Loan Permitted Encumbrances. The Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, upon the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements in the appropriate jurisdiction and the delivery to Lender of the membership certificates evidencing the Collateral, create and constitute a valid and perfected first priority Lien on the Collateral, free and clear of all Liens other than the Mezzanine Loan Permitted Encumbrances.

(b) No creditor of Borrower other than Lender has in its possession any certificates or other documents the possession of which would be required to perfect a security interest in the Collateral.

Section 4.22. Fraudulent Conveyance. Borrower has not entered into any of the Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor. Borrower has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. On the Closing Date, the fair salable value of Borrower’s aggregate assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan and the use and disbursement of the proceeds thereof, be greater than Borrower’s probable aggregate liabilities (including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and Contingent Obligations). Borrower’s aggregate assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan and the use and disbursement of the proceeds thereof will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including Contingent Obligations 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 obligations of Borrower).

Estoppel Certificates. Borrower has caused Mortgage Borrower to request estoppel certificates from each Tenant on the form heretofore agreed by Lender and has delivered to Lender true and complete copies of each estoppel certificate received back from any Tenant prior to the Closing Date.

Federal Trade Embargos. Guarantor and each Required SPE is in compliance with all Federal Trade Embargos in all material respects. To Borrower’s knowledge, no Embargoed Person owns any direct or indirect equity interest in any Required SPE. To Borrower’s knowledge, no Tenant at the Property is identified on the OFAC List. Borrower has implemented procedures, and will consistently apply those procedures throughout the term of the Loan, to ensure that the foregoing representations and warranties remain true and correct in all material respects during the term of the Loan. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section are made only to Borrower’s knowledge with respect to the direct and/or indirect ownership of any shares of stock in NY REIT.

Section 4.25 Survival. All of the representations of Borrower set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents shall survive for so long as any portion of the Indebtedness is outstanding. All representations, covenants and agreements made by Borrower in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Lender notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by Lender or on its behalf. On the date of any Securitization, on not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a certification (x) confirming that all of the representations contained in this Agreement are true and correct as of the date of such Securitization, or (y) otherwise specifying any changes in or qualifications to such representations as of such date as may be necessary to make such representations consistent with the facts as they exist on such date.

If Lender shall determine in its reasonable discretion that an Event of Default exists, the reasonable, out-of-pocket cost of such inspections, examinations, copying or audits shall be borne by Borrower, including the cost of all follow up or additional investigations, audits or inquiries deemed reasonably necessary by Lender. The cost of such inspections, examinations, audits and copying, if not paid for by Borrower following demand, may be added to the Indebtedness and shall bear interest thereafter until paid at the Default Rate.

Section 5.7. Leases.

(a) Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases. All new Leases and renewals or amendments of Leases must (i) be entered into on an arms-length basis with Tenants that are not Affiliates of Borrower and whose identity and creditworthiness is appropriate for tenancy in property of comparable quality, (ii) provide for rental rates and other economic terms that, taken as a whole, are at least equivalent to then-existing market rates, based on the applicable market, and otherwise contain terms and conditions that are commercially reasonable, (iii) have an initial term of not more than 10 years and (iv) not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Any Lease that does not conform to the standards set forth in Section 5.7(a) shall be subject to the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. In addition, all new Leases that are Major Leases, and all terminations, renewals and amendments of Major Leases, and any surrender of rights under any Major Lease (except in accordance with the terms of such Major Lease), shall be subject to the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. With respect to every consent or approval or waiver of the Lender required or requested under this Section 5.7(b), such consent shall be deemed given if the following conditions are met:

(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (either at the date of any notices specified below or as of the effective date of any deemed approval);

(ii) Borrower shall have sent Lender an email request for approval with respect to such matter to the Deemed Consent Notice Parties and otherwise in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions hereof (the “Initial Notice”), which such Initial Notice shall have been (A) accompanied by any and all required information and documentation relating thereto as may be reasonably required in order to approve or disapprove such matter (the “Approval Information”) and (B) marked in bold lettering with the following language: “LENDER’S RESPONSE IS REQUIRED WITHIN SEVEN (7) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF A LOAN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED AND LENDER” and the subject line containing the Initial Notice shall have been marked “PRIORITY-DEEMED APPROVAL MAY APPLY”;

(iii) Lender shall have failed to approve or disapprove the request set forth in the Initial Notice within the aforesaid time-frame;

(v) Lender shall have failed to approve or disapprove the request set forth in the Second Notice within the aforesaid time-frame.

(c) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to (i) observe and punctually perform all the material obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases, including satisfaction of all Unfunded Obligations; (ii) enforce all of the material terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases on the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed, short of termination thereof, except that Borrower may permit Mortgage Borrower terminate any Lease following a material default thereunder by the respective Tenant; (iii) not collect any of the rents thereunder more than one month in advance; (iv) not execute any assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or associated rents other than the assignment of rents and leases under the Mortgage; (v) not cancel or terminate any guarantee of any of the Major Leases without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; and (vi) not permit any subletting of any space covered by a Lease or an assignment of the Tenant’s rights under a Lease, except in strict accordance with the terms of such Lease. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to deliver to each new Tenant a “Tenant Notice” as defined in and to the extent required in the Mortgage Loan Agreement, and promptly thereafter deliver to Lender a copy thereof and evidence of such Tenant’s receipt thereof.

(d) Security deposits of Tenants under all Leases shall be held in compliance with Legal Requirements and any provisions in Leases relating thereto. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to maintain books and records of sufficient detail to identify all security deposits of Tenants separate and apart from any other payments received from Tenants. Subject to Legal Requirements, any bond or other instrument held by Mortgage Borrower in lieu of cash security shall name Mortgage Lender (or if the Mortgage Loan has been repaid in full, Lender) as payee or mortgagee thereunder or be fully assignable to Lender. Borrower hereby pledges to Lender each such bond or other instrument as security for the Indebtedness. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, upon Lender’s request, cause Mortgage Borrower to deposit with Mortgage Lender (or if the Mortgage Loan has been repaid in full, Lender) in an Eligible Account pledged to Mortgage Lender (or if the Mortgage Loan has been repaid in full, Lender) an amount equal to the aggregate security deposit of the Tenants (and any interest theretofore earned on such security deposits and actually received by Borrower), and any such bonds, that Borrower had not returned to the applicable Tenants or applied in accordance with the terms of the applicable Lease (and failure to do so shall constitute a misappropriation of funds pursuant to Section 9.19(b)).

(e) Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each written notice from a Tenant under any Major Lease claiming that Mortgage Borrower is in default in the performance or observance of any of the material terms, covenants or conditions thereof to be performed or observed by Mortgage Borrower. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide in each Major Lease executed after the Closing Date to which Mortgage Borrower is a party that any Tenant delivering any such notice shall send a copy of such notice directly to Lender.

Section 5.8. Plan Assets, etc. Borrower will do, and will cause Mortgage Borrower to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to ensure that it will not be deemed to hold Plan Assets at any time; provided, however, that Borrower shall not fail to satisfy this requirement by reason of any use of Plan Assets by Lender to fund, acquire or hold an interest in the Loan (or any portion thereof).

Section 5.9. Further Assurances. Borrower shall, and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, from time to time as reasonably requested by Lender, execute, acknowledge, record, register, file and/or deliver to Lender such other instruments, agreements, certificates and documents (including any documents reasonably required to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.3(b) hereof), and Borrower hereby authorizes and consents to the filing by Lender of any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, and authorizes Lender to use the collateral description “all personal property” or “all assets” in any such financing statements, in each case as Lender may reasonably be required to confirm, perfect and maintain the Liens securing or intended to secure the obligations of Borrower and the rights of Lender under the Loan Documents and do and execute all such further lawful and reasonable acts, conveyances and assurances for the better and more effective carrying out of the intents and purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be reasonably required to perfect and maintain the Liens. Upon foreclosure, the appointment of a receiver or any other relevant action, Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, cooperate fully and completely to effect the assignment or transfer of any license, permit, agreement or any other right necessary or useful to the operation of the Collateral and/or the Property. Upon receipt of an affidavit of Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note and the indemnification by Lender of Borrower in connection therewith, Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note in the same principal amount thereof and in the form thereof.

Section 5.10. Management of Collateral.

Borrower may from time to time cause Mortgage Borrower to appoint an Approved Property Manager to manage the Property pursuant to an Approved Management Agreement, provided that (i) no Event of Default is then continuing, (ii) Lender receives at least 30 days’ prior written notice of same, (iii) such successor manager shall execute and deliver to Lender for Lender’s benefit a Subordination of Property Management Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and (iv) if such Approved Property Manager is an Affiliate of Borrower, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a new nonconsolidation opinion reasonably acceptable to Lender or a modification to the Nonconsolidation Opinion, in either case with respect to such Approved Property Manager and new management agreement. The per annum fees of the Approved Property Manager (including any incentive fees) shall not, at any time, exceed the Maximum Management Fee.

(b) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to cause each Approved Property Manager (including any successor Approved Property Manager) to maintain at all times worker’s compensation insurance as required by Governmental Authorities.

(c) Borrower shall notify Lender in writing of any default of Mortgage Borrower or the Approved Property Manager under the Approved Management Agreement, after the expiration of any applicable cure periods, of which Borrower has actual knowledge. Lender shall have the right, after reasonable notice to Borrower and in accordance with the Subordination of Management Agreement, to cure defaults of Mortgage Borrower under the Approved Management Agreement. Any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender to cure any such default shall constitute a part of the Indebtedness and shall be due from Borrower upon demand by Lender.

(d) In the event that (i) an Event of Default shall be continuing, (ii) any foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or other similar transaction following an Event of Default shall have occurred, (iii) a material default by the Approved Property Manager under the Approved Management Agreement (after the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure periods) shall be continuing, (iv) the Approved Property Manager files or is the subject of a petition in bankruptcy, (v) a trustee or receiver is appointed for the Approved Property Manager’s assets or the Approved Property Manager makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (vi) the Approved Property Manager is adjudicated insolvent, then, in any such case, Lender may, in its sole discretion, require Borrower to cause Mortgage Borrower to terminate the Approved Management Agreement and require Borrower to engage an Approved Property Manager reasonably approved by Lender to serve as replacement Approved Property Manager pursuant to an Approved Management Agreement.

Borrower shall fail to cause Mortgage Borrower to cure properly any material violations of Legal Requirements affecting all or any portion of the Property within 30 days after Borrower first receives written notice of any such violations; provided, however, if any such violation is reasonably susceptible of cure, but not within such 30 day period, then Borrower shall be permitted up to an additional 30 days to cure such violation provided that Borrower commences a cure within such initial 30 day period and thereafter diligently and continuously pursues such cure.

(j) Certificates of Pledged Collateral. If at any time the equity interests pledged by Borrower pursuant to the Pledge Agreement shall be evidenced by new, replacement or additional certificates and Borrower shall fail to deliver such certificates to Lender, together with an executed stock, membership or partnership power, as applicable, in blank.

Section 7.2. Remedies.

(a) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may by written notice to Borrower, in addition to any other rights or remedies available pursuant to this Agreement, the Notes, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, at law or in equity, declare by written notice to Borrower all or any portion of the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable, whereupon all or such portion of the Indebtedness shall so become due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower and the Collateral (including all rights or remedies available at law or in equity); provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Section 7.1(d) shall occur, then (except as specified in Section 7.2(f)) the Indebtedness shall immediately become due and payable without the giving of any notice or other action by Lender. Any actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents.

(b) If Lender forecloses on any Collateral, Lender shall apply all net proceeds of such foreclosure to repay the Indebtedness, the Indebtedness shall be reduced to the extent of such net proceeds and the remaining portion of the Indebtedness shall remain outstanding and secured by the remaining Collateral. At the election of Lender, the Notes shall be deemed to have been accelerated only to the extent of the net proceeds actually received by Lender with respect to the Collateral and applied in reduction of the Indebtedness.

(c) During the continuance of any Event of Default (including an Event of Default resulting from a failure to satisfy the insurance requirements specified herein), Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder, take any action to cure such Event of Default. Lender may enter upon any or all of the Property upon reasonable notice to Borrower for such purposes or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Collateral or to foreclose Lender’s security interest under the Pledge Agreement or collect the Indebtedness. The costs and expenses incurred by Lender in exercising rights under this Section (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), with interest at the Default Rate for the period after notice from Lender that such costs or expenses were incurred to the date of payment to Lender, shall constitute a portion of the Indebtedness, shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and other Loan Documents and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand therefor.

(d) Interest shall accrue on any judgment obtained by Lender in connection with its enforcement of the Loan at a rate of interest equal to the Default Rate.

(e) Notwithstanding the availability of legal remedies, Lender will be entitled to obtain specific performance, mandatory or prohibitory injunctive relief, or other equitable relief requiring Borrower to cure or refrain from repeating any Default.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an event specified in Section 7.1(d) occurs solely in respect of Guarantor and not any Required SPE, then such event shall not constitute an Event of Default or result in an acceleration of the Loan unless, in each case, Lender so determines in its sole discretion by written notice to Borrower; and unless and until Lender sends such notice, a Cash Flow Sweep Period shall be deemed to have commenced for all purposes hereunder, which Cash Flow Sweep Period shall continue until the Loan is repaid in full.

Section 7.3. Application of Payments after an Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts received by Lender in respect of the Loan shall be applied at Lender’s sole discretion either toward the components of the Indebtedness (e.g., Lender’s expenses in enforcing the Loan, interest, principal and other amounts payable hereunder) and the Notes or Note Components in such sequence as Lender shall elect in its sole discretion, or toward the payment of Property expenses.

Section 9.5. TRIAL BY JURY. LENDER AND BORROWER, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THAT THEY MAY LAWFULLY DO SO, HEREBY AGREE NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVE 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 LENDER AND BORROWER AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. LENDER AND BORROWER ARE EACH HEREBY INDIVIDUALLY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS SECTION 9.5 IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER.

Section 9.6. Headings. The Article and Section headings in this Agreement are included in this Agreement for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

Section 9.7. Assignment; Participation.

(a) Except as expressly set forth in Article II, Borrower may not sell, assign or otherwise transfer any rights, obligations or other interest of Borrower in or under the Loan Documents.

(b) Lender and each assignee of all or a portion of the Loan, at their sole cost and expense, shall have the right from time to time in its discretion and without the consent of Borrower to sell, assign, syndicate, Securitize, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise transfer one or more of the Notes or any interest therein (in each case, an “Assignment”) and/or sell a participation interest in one or more of the Notes (a “Participation”) to any Person other than, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, a Prohibited Transferee. Borrower shall and shall cause Guarantor to reasonably cooperate with Lender, at Lender’s request and sole cost and expense, in order to effectuate any such Assignment, including, without limitation: (i) making changes to the Loan Documents, provided such changes do not result in any increase in the obligations or liabilities of Borrower or decrease in the rights or remedies of Borrower or increase in the rights and remedies of Lender or decrease in the obligations or liabilities of Lender; (ii) bifurcating the Loan pursuant to Section 9.24(b); (iii) promptly delivering updated information, legal opinions and documents in substantially the form delivered on the Closing Date relating to each Required SPE, Guarantor, the Property, the Approved Property Manager and any Tenants as Lender may reasonably request and reasonably be available to Borrower in connection with such Assignment; (iv) participating (including senior management of Borrower or Guarantor) in a bank or investor meeting if requested by Lender; and (v) cooperating with Lender in connection with the preparation of marketing materials related to the Loan. In the case of an Assignment, (i) each assignee shall have, to the extent of such Assignment, the rights, benefits and obligations of the assigning Lender as a “Lender” hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (ii) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to an Assignment, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement arising from and after the date of such Assignment, and (iii) SAS shall serve as agent (“Agent”) for all Lenders and shall be the sole party to whom notices, requests and other communications shall be addressed and the sole party authorized to grant or withhold consents hereunder on behalf of the Lenders (subject, in each case, to appointment of a Servicer, pursuant to Section 9.22, to receive such notices, requests and other communications and/or to grant or withhold consents, as the case may be). Agent shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, as non-fiduciary agent for Borrower, a register on which it shall enter the name or names of the registered owner or owners from time to time of the Notes. Upon effectiveness of any Assignment of any Note in part, Borrower will promptly provide to the assignor and the assignee separate Notes in the amount of their respective interests (but, if applicable, with a notation thereon that it is given in substitution for and replacement of an original Note or any replacement thereof), and otherwise in the form of such Note, upon return of the Note then being replaced provided in no event shall such Notes exceed the then outstanding principal amount of the Loan. Each potential or actual assignee, participant or investor in a Securitization, and each Rating Agency, shall be entitled to receive from Lender all information received by Lender under this Agreement; provided that Lender shall not provide to any such parties any information relating to the Guarantor or any properties owned by Guarantor (other than the Property) that Borrower has identified as confidential unless (i) it obtains a customary confidentiality undertaking (or deemed undertaking) from the recipient thereof and reasonably acceptable to Borrower and (ii) the applicable information or materials are not otherwise available in the public domain. After the effectiveness of any Assignment, the party conveying the Assignment shall provide notice to Borrower and each Lender of the identity and address of the assignee. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, after an Assignment, the assigning Lender (in addition to the assignee) shall continue to have the benefits of any indemnifications contained in this Agreement that such assigning Lender had prior to such assignment with respect to matters occurring prior to the date of such assignment.

(c) If, pursuant to this Section, any interest in this Agreement or any Note is transferred to any transferee, such transferee shall, promptly upon receipt of written request from Borrower, furnish to Borrower Form W-9, Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, as applicable.

Section 9.8. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

Section 9.9. Preferences; Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. Lender shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the obligations of Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply only during continuance of an Event of Default any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the Loan Documents. If any payment to Lender is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then the obligations hereunder or portion thereof intended to be satisfied by such payment shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment had not been made. Borrower hereby waives any legal right otherwise available to Borrower that would require the sale of any Collateral either separate or apart from other Collateral, or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Collateral before proceeding against any other Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby waives and shall not assert any rights in respect of a marshalling of Collateral, a sale in the inverse order of alienation, any 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 Collateral or any portion thereof in any sequence and any combination as determined by Lender in its sole discretion.

Section 9.10. Remedies of Borrower. If a claim is made that Lender or its agents have unreasonably delayed acting or acted unreasonably in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents any of such Persons has an obligation to act promptly or reasonably, Borrower agrees that no such Person shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an action seeking specific performance, injunctive relief and/or declaratory judgment; provided, however, that the forgoing shall not prevent Borrower from obtaining a monetary judgment against Lender if it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that Lender acted with gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against Lender and/or its affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable Legal Requirement) arising out of, as a result of, or in any way related to, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any such claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Section 9.11. Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction for, any offsets, counterclaims or defenses. Borrower waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender arising out of or in any way connected with the Notes, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Indebtedness. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in the Loan shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses against the assigning Lender.

Section 9.12. No Joint Venture. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender, nor to grant Lender any interest in the Collateral other than that of pledgee or lender.

Section 9.13. Conflict; Construction of Documents. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail. The parties acknowledge that they were each represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party that drafted same.

Section 9.14. Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower represents that neither it nor Guarantor has dealt with any financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Borrower and Lender agree to indemnify and hold each other 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 or Lender, as applicable, in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Indebtedness.

Section 9.15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Any counterpart delivered by facsimile, pdf or other electronic means shall have the same import and effect as original counterparts and shall be valid, enforceable and binding for the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 9.16. Estoppel Certificates.

(a) Borrower shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender, within ten (10) days after receipt of Lender’s written request therefor at any time from time to time, a statement in writing setting forth (A) the Principal Indebtedness, (B) the date on which installments of interest and/or principal were last paid, (C) to Borrower’s knowledge any offsets or defenses to the payment of the Indebtedness, (D) that the Notes, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents are valid, legal and binding obligations and have not been modified or if modified, giving particulars of such modification, (E) that neither Borrower nor, to Borrower’s knowledge, Lender, is in default under the Loan Documents (or specifying any such default), (F) that all Leases are in full force and effect and have not been modified (except in accordance with the Loan Documents) or identifying which Leases have been terminated or modified, (G) to Borrower’s knowledge, whether or not any of the Tenants under the Leases or any counterparties under the Material Agreements are in material default under the Leases or the Material Agreements, as applicable (setting forth the specific nature of any such material defaults) and (H) such other matters as Lender may reasonably request. Any prospective purchaser of any interest in the Loan shall be permitted to rely on such certificate.

(b) Upon Lender’s written request, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from each Tenant and thereafter promptly deliver to Lender duly executed estoppel certificates substantially in the form set forth on Exhibit C from any one or more Tenants specified by Lender, attesting to such facts regarding the Leases as Lender may reasonably require, including attestations that each Lease covered thereby is in full force and effect with no material defaults thereunder on the part of any party (or identifying any material defaults thereunder), that rent has not been paid more than one month in advance, except as security, and that the Tenant claims no defense or offset against the full and timely performance of its obligations under the Lease or otherwise in the form accepted by Lender from applicable Tenants at the closing of the Loan. Borrower shall not be required to deliver such certificates more frequently than one time in any 12-month period, other than the 12-month period during which a Securitization occurs or is attempted.

Section 9.17. General Indemnity; Payment of Expenses.

(a) Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall protect, indemnify, reimburse, defend and hold harmless Lender and its officers, partners, members, directors, trustees, advisors, employees, agents, Affiliates, successors and assigns of any and all of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) for, from and against any and all Damages of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties, in any way relating to or arising out of Lender’s interest in the Loan; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder to the extent that such Damages (i) have been found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, (ii) arise from any action taken by any Person (other than Borrower, Guarantor, or any other Person that, directly or indirectly, Controls, is Controlled by or is under common Control with Guarantor) from and after a Transfer approved by Lender in accordance with the terms hereof of the entire Property or all of the direct and indirect equity interests of Borrower in Mortgage Borrower to a Person that is not an Affiliate of Guarantor, (iii) arise from any action taken by any Person (other than Borrower, Guarantor, or any other Person that, directly or indirectly, Controls, is Controlled by or is under common Control with Guarantor) from and after an Indemnified Party obtains title to the Property or the Collateral, whether by foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise in connection with any exercise of Lender’s remedies pursuant to the Loan Documents, or any actions taken by any Person (other than Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person that, directly or indirectly, Controls, is Controlled by, or is under common Control with Guarantor) on or after the date on which a receiver, trustee, liquidator, or conservator is appointed, at Mortgage Lender or Lender’s request, to take control of the Property or the Collateral, or (iv) arise from any action taken (a) by, to the extent there is any other mezzanine lender (“Additional Mezzanine Lender”) with respect to any additional mezzanine loan (“Additional Mezzanine Loan”) under Section 9.24(b), during any period in which Additional Mezzanine Lender exercises Control of any Required SPE, Mortgage Borrower, Borrower and/or the Property or the Collateral under the loan documents evidencing the Additional Mezzanine Loan, or (b) by any Person (other than Borrower, Guarantor, or any other Person that, directly or indirectly, Controls, is Controlled by or is under common Control with Guarantor) from and after a mezzanine foreclosure or assignment-in-lieu thereof with respect to any Additional Mezzanine Loan. Further, to the extent that any Damage arises out of or is based upon any Disclosure Document, the foregoing indemnity shall be limited to Damages arising to the extent of any untrue statement or omission of a material fact made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document and provided, further, that Borrower shall have no liability therefor if Borrower is not provided a reasonable opportunity to review such Disclosure Document or to the extent that any Indemnified Party or any other Person failed to accurately transcribe information provided by Borrower to Lender or its agent or employee or to include any portions of the information provided by Borrower.

(b) If for any reason (including violation of law or public policy) the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section are unenforceable in whole or in part or are otherwise unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold it harmless, then Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of any Damages the maximum amount Borrower is permitted to pay under Legal Requirements. The obligations of Borrower under this Section will be in addition to any liability that Borrower may otherwise have hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

(c) To the extent any Indemnified Party has notice of a claim for which it intends to seek indemnification hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice thereof to Borrower, provided that failure by Lender to so notify Borrower will not relieve Borrower of its obligations under this Section, except to the extent that Borrower suffers actual prejudice as a result of such failure. In connection with any claim for which indemnification is sought hereunder, Borrower shall have the right to defend the applicable Indemnified Party (if requested by the applicable Indemnified Party, in the name of such Indemnified Party) from such claim by attorneys and other professionals reasonably approved by the applicable Indemnified Party. Upon assumption by Borrower of any defense pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Borrower shall have the right to control such defense, provided that the Applicable Indemnified Party shall have the right to reasonably participate in such defense and Borrower shall not consent to the terms of any compromise or settlement of any action defended by Borrower in accordance with the foregoing without the prior consent of the applicable Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless such compromise or settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of the applicable Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party. The applicable Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel if (i) Borrower shall have failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Indemnified Party in a timely manner, or (ii) the applicable Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there are actual or potential material conflicts of interest between Borrower and the applicable Indemnified Party, including situations in which there are one or more legal defenses available to the applicable Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to Borrower. So long as Borrower is conducting the defense of any action defended by Borrower in accordance with the foregoing in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner, Lender and the applicable Indemnified Party shall not compromise or settle such action defended without Borrower's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.17(c), upon demand, Borrower shall pay or, in the sole discretion of the applicable Indemnified Party, reimburse the applicable Indemnified Party for the payment of reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, engineers, environmental consultants, laboratories and other professionals retained by the Applicable Indemnified Party in accordance with this Section in connection with defending any claim subject to indemnification hereunder. In no event shall Borrower have any obligation to pay for more than one attorney to represent, collectively, any and all Indemnified Parties.

(d) Any amounts payable to Lender by reason of the application of this Section shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and shall become immediately due and payable and shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate required to be paid under Section 1.2(a) for the first five (5) Business Days from the date Damages are sustained by the Indemnified Parties and Borrower has received written demand for payment and the Default Rate thereafter until paid.

(e) The provisions of and undertakings and indemnification set forth in this Section shall survive the satisfaction and payment in full of the Indebtedness and termination of this Agreement.

(f) Borrower shall reimburse Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for (i) all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender (or any of its affiliates) in connection with the origination of the Loan, including reasonable legal fees and disbursements, accounting fees, and the costs of the Appraisal, the Engineering Report, the Title Insurance Policy, the Survey, the Environmental Report and any other third-party diligence materials; (ii) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender (or any of its affiliates) in connection with (A) third-party fees for monitoring Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s material agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements (but in no event shall Borrower be responsible for regular servicing fees), (B) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters relating hereto (including Leases, Material Agreements, and Mortgage Loan Permitted Encumbrances) to the extent such modifications or reviews are requested by Borrower or required under the Loan Documents (unless as to the items required under the Loan Documents, Lender is required to pay for the same pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents), (D) filing, registration and recording fees and expenses and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including the filing, registration or recording of any instrument of further assurance) and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, federal, state, county and municipal, taxes (including, if applicable, intangible taxes), search fees, title insurance premiums, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, any mortgage supplemental thereto, any security instrument with respect to the Collateral or any instrument of further assurance, (E) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any Collateral, and (F) the satisfaction of any Rating Condition in respect of any matter required or requested by Borrower hereunder; and (iii) all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and, if the Loan has been Securitized, special servicing fees) incurred by Lender (or any of its Affiliates) in connection with the enforcement of any obligations of Borrower, or an Event of Default or a reasonably imminent Event of Default by Borrower, under the Loan Documents, including any actual or attempted foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, refinancing, restructuring, settlement or workout and any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings (including any applicable transfer taxes). Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall pay all out-of-pocket costs, expenses and fees of Lender and its Servicer, operating advisor and securitization trustee resulting from an Event of Default or a reasonably imminent Event of Default or requests by Borrower (including enforcement expenses and any liquidation fees, workout fees, special servicing fees, operating advisor consulting fees or any other similar fees and interest payable on advances made by the Servicer or the securitization trustee with respect to delinquent debt service payments or expenses of curing Borrower’s defaults under the Loan Documents, and any expenses paid by Servicer or a trustee in respect of the protection and preservation of the Property, such as payment of taxes and insurance premiums); and the costs of all property inspections and/or Appraisals (or any updates to any existing inspection or Appraisal) that Servicer may be required to obtain due to a request by Borrower or the occurrence of an Event of Default or a reasonably imminent Event of Default.

Section 9.18. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower, and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender, Borrower and Indemnified Parties 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 Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender, and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender 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 Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

Section 9.19. Recourse.

(a) Subject to the qualifications in Sections 9.19(b) and 9.19(c) below, Lender shall not enforce Borrower’s obligation to pay the Indebtedness by any action or proceeding wherein a deficiency judgment or other judgment establishing personal liability shall be sought against Borrower or any of its affiliates, or any Exculpated Person, except for foreclosure actions or any other appropriate actions or proceedings with respect to the Collateral in order to fully exercise Lender’s remedies in respect of, and to realize upon, the Collateral, and except for any actions to enforce any obligations expressly assumed or guaranteed by Guarantor under the Guaranty, Unfunded Obligations Guaranty and Environmental Indemnity and Borrower under the Environmental Indemnity or any guarantor, indemnitor or similar party that becomes a party to any of the foregoing agreements or enters into any replacement guaranties or indemnities (whether or not such party is an Exculpated Person) under the Loan Documents.

(b) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all Damages to Lender (including reasonable legal and other expenses of enforcing the obligations of Borrower under this Section) resulting from or arising out of any of the following (the “Indemnified Liabilities”):

(i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor or any Affiliated agent of the foregoing;

(ii) intentional misapplication or misappropriation of insurance proceeds, Loss Proceeds, Revenues or security deposits in violation of the Mortgage Loan Documents or Loan Documents;

(iii) wrongful removal, destruction or material physical Waste of any material portion of the Collateral;

(iv) failure to apply Available Funds, if any, and if reserved by Mortgage Lender or Lender for such purpose, made available to Borrower, toward payment of any Taxes or charges (including charges for labor and materials) that create Liens on the Property, unless (i) contested in good faith and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents or (ii) resulting from Mortgage Lender or Lender’s failure to make required disbursements from reserves maintained for such purpose under the Mortgage Loan Documents or Loan Documents;

(v) failure to apply Available Funds, if any, and if reserved by Mortgage Lender or Lender for such purpose, made available to Borrower, toward payment of insurance premiums and insurance deductibles unless resulting from Lender’s failure to make required disbursements from reserves maintained for such purpose under the Mortgage Loan Documents or Loan Documents;

(vi) Intentionally omitted.

(vii) willful misconduct by Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor or any Affiliated agent of any of the foregoing (including any wrongful contest not pursued in good faith to the validity of the Loan Documents or wrongful acts not conducted in good faith to interfere, hinder, delay or obstruct Lender’s pursuit of its remedies under the Loan Documents);

(viii) the failure of any Required SPE to be, and to at all times have been, in all material respects, a Single-Purpose Entity, regardless of whether such failure to have been a Single-Purpose Entity prior to the date hereof has been disclosed to Lender, and including Damages due to such failure, arising from or related to (x) the actions, conduct and/or operating history of Mortgage Borrower (or any Person merged into Borrower) prior to the Closing Date and (y) Mortgage Borrower’s ownership (or the ownership of any Person merged into Borrower) of assets prior to the Closing Date that do not constitute a portion of the Collateral but excluding any breach resulting solely from a failure of the Property to generate sufficient cash flow or a failure of Guarantor to contribute additional capital, provided that Borrower shall not have any liability under this Section 9.19(b)(viii) if Borrower cures any such failure within ten (10) Business Days after Borrower receives written notice thereof; and

(ix) Borrower’s or Mortgage Borrower’s obtaining additional Debt to the extent prohibited by this Agreement.

(c) In addition to the foregoing, the Loan shall be fully recourse to Borrower, if (i) Borrower or Mortgage Borrower Transfers the Collateral or the Mortgage Loan Collateral, voluntarily grants a mortgage or similar Lien on the Mortgage Loan Collateral or a pledge or similar lien on the Collateral, or there is a Prohibited Change of Control or Prohibited Pledge, in each case, in violation of the Loan Documents, (ii) any petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar federal or state law is filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, any Required SPE, (iii) any Required SPE or any of their respective Affiliates (including Guarantor) shall have colluded with other creditors to cause an involuntary filing under the Bankruptcy Code or similar federal or state law with respect to any Required SPE, or any Required SPE shall have terminated one or more of the Independent Directors for the purpose of facilitating a bankruptcy filing, or (iv) any Required SPE fails to be, and to at all times have been, a Single-Purpose Entity, which failure results in a substantive consolidation of Borrower with any Affiliate in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding (or the filing of a motion by Borrower, Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates for substantive consolidation in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding citing any such breach).

(d) The foregoing limitations on personal liability shall in no way impair or constitute a waiver of the validity of the Notes, the Indebtedness secured by the Collateral, or the Liens on the Collateral, or the right of Lender, as pledgee or secured party, to foreclose and/or enforce its rights with respect to the Collateral after an Event of Default. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right which Lender may have under the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the debt owing to Lender by Borrower or to require that all Collateral shall continue to secure all of the Indebtedness owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents. Lender may seek a judgment on the Notes (and, if necessary, name Borrower in such suit) as part of judicial proceedings to foreclose on any Collateral or as a prerequisite to any such foreclosure or to confirm any foreclosure or sale pursuant to power of sale thereunder, and in the event any suit is brought on the Notes, or with respect to any Indebtedness or any judgment rendered in such judicial proceedings, such judgment shall constitute a Lien on and may be enforced on and against the Collateral and the rents, profits, issues, products and proceeds thereof. Nothing in this Agreement shall impair the right of Lender to accelerate the maturity of the Notes upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing, nor shall anything in this Agreement impair or be construed to impair the right of Lender to seek personal judgments, and to enforce all rights and remedies under applicable law, jointly and severally against Guarantor under the Guaranty, Unfunded Obligations Guaranty and Environmental Indemnity and Borrower under the Environmental Indemnity or any guarantor, indemnitor or similar party that becomes a party to any of the foregoing agreements or enters into any replacement guaranties or indemnities to the extent allowed by any applicable Loan Documents. The provisions set forth in this Section are not intended as a release or discharge of the obligations due under the Notes or under any Loan Documents, but are intended as a limitation, to the extent provided in this Section, on Lender’s right to xxx for a deficiency or seek a personal judgment except as required in order to realize on the Collateral.

Section 9.20. 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, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind (all of such rights being hereby expressly waived), set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by Lender (including branches of Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against the obligations and liabilities of Borrower to Lender hereunder, under the Notes, the other Loan Documents or otherwise, irrespective of whether Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although such obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured, 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 Lender subsequent thereto.

Section 9.21. Exculpation of Lender. Lender neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower or any other party to select, review, inspect, examine, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrower or any third party of (a) the existence, quality, adequacy or suitability of Appraisals of the Property or the Collateral, (b) any environmental report, or (c) any other matters or items, including engineering, soils and seismic reports that are contemplated in the Loan Documents. Any such selection, review, inspection, examination and the like, and any other due diligence conducted by Lender, is solely for the purpose of protecting Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents, and shall not render Lender liable to Borrower or any third party for the existence, sufficiency, accuracy, completeness or legality thereof.

Section 9.22. Agent; Servicer. Lender shall delegate any and all rights and obligations of Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to the Agent upon notice by Lender to Borrower, whereupon any notice or consent from the Agent to Borrower, and any action by Agent on Lender’s behalf, shall have the same force and effect as if Agent were Lender. Lender hereby advises Borrower that as of the date hereof, SAS is designated by Lender as Agent. Until Lender notifies Borrower in writing that the Agent has been terminated as Servicer for cause, the Agent shall serve as the primary point of contact for Borrower with respect to the Loan and shall process all of Borrower’s requests for approval hereunder (including, without limitation, approval of Draw Requests and approval of any Major Lease). Borrower shall have the right to rely on instructions and other communications received from the Agent to the same extent as if such instructions or other communications were received directly from Lender Agent shall be permitted to delegate certain administrative duties hereunder to a Servicer upon written notice to Borrower, but shall retain all other obligations as the primary point of contact with Borrower hereunder. In addition, in connection with any Securitization of the Loan, master servicer, primary servicer and special servicer shall each be SAS or an Approved Servicer, subject to dismissal for cause. So long as no Event of Default is continuing, the appointment or replacement of any Agent or Servicer shall be subject to Borrower’s reasonable consent, except that Borrower’s consent shall not be required for the appointment of an Approved Servicer as Agent or Servicer hereunder. So long as no Event of Default and Mortgage Loan Event of Default is continuing, the Loan and the Mortgage Loan shall have the same Agent, subject to removal for cause.

Section 9.23. No Fiduciary Duty.

Lender, its Affiliates and their respective equityholders and employees (for purposes of this Section, the “Lending Parties”) have no obligation to conduct any independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities (including any contingent, derivative or off-balance sheet assets and liabilities) of Guarantor, Borrower or any other Person or any of their respective affiliates or to advise or opine on any related solvency or viability issues.

Borrower agrees that neither it nor Guarantor nor any of their respective Affiliates shall make, and hereby waives, any claim against the Lending Parties based on an assertion that any Lending Party has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to Borrower, Guarantor of their respective Affiliates, stockholders, employees or creditors. Nothing in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is intended to confer upon any other Person (including Affiliates, stockholders, employees or creditors of Borrower and Guarantor) any rights or remedies by reason of any fiduciary or similar duty.

(c) Borrower acknowledges that it has been advised that the Lending Parties are a financial services and asset management firm that provides certain financial and asset management services.

The Transaction may have a direct or indirect impact on the investments, securities or instruments referred to in this Section 9.23(c). Although the Lending Parties in the course of such other activities and relationships may acquire information about the Loan, the Lending Parties shall have no obligation to disclose such information, or the fact that the Lending Parties are in possession of such information, to Borrower, Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates or to use such information on behalf of Borrower, Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates

(d) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the process leading thereto.

Each party hereto (and each of their respective Affiliates, employees, representatives or other agents) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Loan and all materials of any kind (including opinions and other tax analyses) that are provided to any such party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. For the purpose of this Section, “tax structure” means any facts relevant to the federal income tax treatment of the Loan but does not include information relating to the identity of any of the parties hereto or any of their respective Affiliates. Notwithstanding the above, Lender shall not provide or incorporate any information or materials relating to Guarantor or any properties owned by the Guarantor (other than the Property) that Borrower has identified as confidential, unless (x) Lender obtains a customary confidentiality undertaking (or deemed undertaking) from the recipient or (y) the information or materials is otherwise available in the public domain.

(b) In connection with any Assignment, Borrower and Guarantor agree that they shall reasonably cooperate (including the formation of additional borrower entities) at Lender’s request and at Lender’s sole cost and expense to reallocate the respective principal amounts and/or interest rates of the Loan and/or create new layers of mezzanine debt (each, a “New Mezzanine Loan”); provided with respect to each of the foregoing that (i) the aggregate principal balance and weighted average interest rates of the Note and mezzanine notes immediately following the consummation of any such transaction shall be the same as immediately prior thereto and shall continue to be the same (i.e., no “rate creep”) throughout the term (except in the case of application of principal following and during the continuance of an Event of Default) and (ii) the foregoing shall not result in any changes to the material terms of the Loan or result in an increase in Borrower’s obligations or liabilities or a decrease in Borrower’s rights and remedies under the Loan Documents or increase in Lender’s rights and remedies or decrease in Lender’s obligations or liabilities. In connection with any New Mezzanine Loan, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender at Lender’s sole cost and expense (1) UCC title insurance coverage, (2) a mezzanine endorsement to its owner’s policy of title insurance, and (3) such legal opinions and other deliverables as are customarily delivered in connection with the closing of mezzanine loans; and Borrower shall cause the Approved Property Manager and any other applicable third parties to enter into agreements with the holder of the New Mezzanine Loan that are substantially identical as those entered into with the initial holder of the Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein requiring that cooperation with Lender not result in any adverse effect on Borrower or Guarantor the parties agree that prepayments shall be applied among the components of the Loan, including any mezzanine loan, on a pro-rata basis, unless an Event of Default is continuing, in which case Lender shall be permitted to require that such amounts be applied sequentially, starting with the most senior tranche, which may have the effect of increasing the weighted average interest rate of the Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan.

(c) If requested by Lender, Borrower shall review factual information regarding Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor or the Property before it is included in any Disclosure Document provided to Borrower by Lender and shall, within 10 days of Borrower’s receipt thereof, advise Lender in writing of any misstatement of a material fact or omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, that if Borrower shall fail to respond within such 10-day period, Borrower shall be deemed to have confirmed the accuracy of such information. Borrower’s liability hereunder shall be limited as provided in the last sentence of Section 9.17(a). The foregoing shall be at Lender’s sole cost and expense.

Section 9.25. PATRIOT Act Records. Lender hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, Mortgage Borrower and Guarantor, which information includes the name and address of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower and Guarantor and other information that will allow Lender to identify Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or Guarantor in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.

Section 9.26. Prior Agreements. THIS 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, INCLUDING ANY TERM SHEETS, CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENTS AND COMMITMENT LETTERS, ARE SUPERSEDED BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (EXCEPT THAT ANY ORIGINATION FEE SPECIFIED IN ANY TERM SHEET, COMMITMENT LETTER OR FEE LETTER SHALL BE AN OBLIGATION OF BORROWER AND SHALL BE PAID AT CLOSING, AND ANY INDEMNIFICATIONS, AND THE LIKE PROVIDED FOR THEREIN SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN).

Section 9.27. Publicity. If the Loan is made, Lender may issue press releases, advertisements and other promotional materials describing in general terms or in detail Lender's participation in such transaction, and may utilize photographs of the Property in such promotional materials subject to the reasonable approval of Borrower in writing prior to the issuance thereof. Borrower shall not make any references to Lender in any press release, advertisement or promotional material issued by Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or Guarantor, unless Lender shall have reasonably approved of the same in writing prior to the issuance of such press release, advertisement or promotional material. Nothing in the foregoing shall require Lender’s prior consent for any release of information with respect to this Loan, the Mortgage Loan, the Loan Documents, the Mortgage Loan Documents, Mortgage Lender or Lender required to be made by Borrower or its Affiliates by applicable Governmental Authority or applicable Legal Requirements (including, without limitation, any filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission); provided that Lender shall have at least one Business Day to review and comment on any public filing made by Borrower or any of its Affiliates that refers to Lender or any of its Affiliates by name.

Section 9.28. 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, under any other Loan Document or under 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 hereunder or under 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 Notes or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

Section 9.29. Schedules and Exhibits Incorporated. The Schedules and Exhibits annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

Section 9.30. Senior Loan.

(a) Lender shall have the right to cure any Mortgage Loan Event of Default, regardless of whether such Mortgage Loan Event of Default results from the breach of a monetary or non-monetary covenant; and the costs and expenses incurred by Lender in doing so, including reasonable attorneys' fees, with interest thereon at the Default Rate, shall constitute a portion of the Indebtedness, shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and other Loan Documents, and shall be due and payable to Lender within five Business Days following written demand therefor.

(b) Lender shall have the right without notice or demand on Borrower or Mortgage Borrower to purchase all or any portion of the Mortgage Loan or any interest therein without notice to or consent of Borrower, in which event Lender shall have and may exercise all rights of Mortgage Lender thereunder to the extent of the interest acquired; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default is continuing, Lender shall endeavor to provide prior written notice of any such purchase to Borrower and notice thereafter to the extent such prior notice is not provided to Borrower, but failure to provide any such notice shall not constitute a default by Lender hereunder. Borrower hereby expressly agrees that any claims which Mortgage Borrower may have against Mortgage Lender relating to or arising out of the Mortgage Loan shall be the personal obligation of the assigning Mortgage Lender and in no event shall Mortgage Borrower be entitled to bring or pursue such claims against Lender or any Affiliate of Lender or any other Person as the successor holder the Mortgage Loan or any interest therein.

(c) If, on account of the subordination of the Loan to the Mortgage, Lender is required to remit to Mortgage Lender any amount theretofore paid to Lender hereunder, then such amount shall continue to be owing pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as part of the Indebtedness, notwithstanding the prior receipt of such payment by Lender.

(d) Lender shall have the right at any time to discuss matters regarding the Property, the Collateral, the Mortgage Loan, the Loan or any other matter directly with Mortgage Lender or its consultants, agents or representatives, without notice to or permission from Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or any of their Affiliates. Lender shall have no obligation to disclose such discussions or the contents thereof with Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or any of their affiliates.

(e) If any action, proposed action or other decision is consented to or approved by Mortgage Lender, such consent or approval shall not be binding or controlling on Lender. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the risks of Mortgage Lender in making the Mortgage Loan are different from the risks of Lender in making the Loan, (ii) in determining whether to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval, Mortgage Lender and Lender may reasonably reach different conclusions, and (iii) Lender has an absolute independent right to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval based on its own point of view, but subject to the standards of consent applicable to Lender in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In addition, the denial by Lender of a requested consent or approval shall not result in any liability or other obligation of Lender, if such denial results directly or indirectly in a default under the Mortgage Loan, and Borrower hereby waives any claim of liability against Lender arising from any such denial.

(f) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to (a) pay all principal, interest and other sums required to be paid by Mortgage Borrower under and pursuant to the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Documents unless such performance or observance shall be waived in writing by Mortgage Lender; (b) diligently perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Documents on the part of Mortgage Borrower to be performed and observed (including, without limitation, with respect to funding reserves and escrows), unless such performance or observance shall be waived in writing by Mortgage Lender; (c) promptly notify Lender of the giving of any notice of breach or default or any other material written notice by Mortgage Lender to Mortgage Borrower or Borrower; (d) deliver a correct and complete copy of each material notice, demand, request and correspondence (including electronically transmitted items) that, in each case, are given or received by Mortgage Borrower or Borrower to or from the Mortgage Lender, its agent or the Servicer or trustee of any Securitization, and (e) not enter into any material amendment or modification of any Mortgage Loan Document, or any additional Mortgage Loan Documents, without Lender’s prior written consent, except for those amendments, modifications or additional Mortgage Loan Documents that are required under the Mortgage Loan Documents (as in effect on the date hereof) or that Mortgage Borrower is required to consent to thereunder pursuant to the express terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents (as in effect on the date hereof).

(g) Borrower shall not permit Mortgage Borrower to, except as expressly permitted or required by the Mortgage Loan Documents, make any partial or full prepayment or defeasance of amounts owing under the Mortgage Loan.

(h) Borrower shall (or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to), from time to time, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from Mortgage Lender such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by Mortgage Borrower with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender. In the event or to the extent that Mortgage Lender fails to deliver such estoppel, then Borrower shall not be in breach of this provision so long as Borrower furnishes to Lender an estoppel executed by Borrower and Mortgage Borrower expressly representing to Lender (i) to the knowledge of Borrower and Mortgage Borrower, the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (ii) whether Mortgage Lender, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or any Guarantor has sent or received a default notice or Event of Default notice (and if so, attaching a copy of each such notice) under the Mortgage Loan or Loan.

(i) Neither Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, nor any Affiliate of any of them shall acquire or agree to acquire the Mortgage Loan, or any portion thereof or any interest therein, or any direct or indirect ownership interest in the holder of the Mortgage Loan, via purchase, transfer, exchange or otherwise, and any breach of this provision shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder. If, solely by operation of applicable subrogation law, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, or any affiliate of any of them shall have failed to comply with the foregoing, then Borrower: (i) shall immediately notify Lender of such failure upon Borrower receiving knowledge thereof; (ii) shall cause any and all such prohibited parties acquiring any interest in the Mortgage Loan Documents: (A) not to enforce the Mortgage Loan Documents; and (B) upon the request of Lender, to the extent any of such prohibited parties has or have the power or authority to do so, to promptly suspend any enforcement proceeding(s) under the Mortgage Loan Documents; provided, however, the foregoing shall not require Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or any of their affiliates to hinder, delay, contest or otherwise interfere with Mortgage Lender’s rights or remedies under the Mortgage Loan Documents.

Lender and Borrower are executing this Agreement as of the date first above written.
