than
the Existing Default, and (ii) Borrower shall continue to make monthly Payments
of accrued interest on the Payment Date as contemplated by Section 2.2.1 of
the
Loan Agreement. Nothing herein shall be construed as an agreement by
Lender from asserting any affirmative defense, cross-claim, counterclaim or

hereafter be commenced. Lender’s agreement to forbear from exercising
any rights or remedies in accordance with this paragraph shall and continue
until 5:00 PM Eastern time, May 11, 2008, unless earlier terminated as a result
of the occurrence of an Additional Default (as defined in the Forbearance
Agreement) (the “Third Extended Forbearance
Period”). Subject to paragraph (b) below, upon and after the
expiration of the Third Extended Forbearance Period, Lender shall be free to
exercise any right or remedy to which Lender heretofore or hereafter shall
be
entitled without regard to this paragraph. Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to limit Borrower’s obligations to make all payments due under
the Loan Documents other than the repayment of the principal balance, all of
which obligations shall remain in full force and effect.
(b) Notwithstanding
the forgoing, Borrower shall be entitled to further extend the Third Extended
Forbearance Period until July 11, 2008, subject to satisfaction of the following
conditions:
(i) Borrower
shall have provided written notice of its election to extend the Third Extended
Forbearance Period no later than April 11, 2008;
(ii) No
Additional Default has occurred;
(iii) Borrower
shall make a payment of $1,000,000.00 to be applied to the outstanding principal
balance of the Loan no later than May 11, 2008;
(iv) Together
with its written notice to so extend the Third Extended Forbearance Period,
Borrower shall deliver to Lender an additional Interest Payment in the amount
necessary (as determined by Lender) to cover the interest estimated to accrue
during the remainder of the Third Extended Forbearance Period; and
(v) Subject
to the terms of subparagraph (c) below, Borrower shall demonstrate to Lender's
satisfaction that it has completed the Work at its own expense in accordance
with the Budget.
(c) If
the Work has not been completed by May 11, 2008 despite Borrower's good faith
efforts to complete same, Borrower may elect to extend the Third Extended
Forbearance Period by depositing with Lender the amount necessary to complete
the Work (the "Work Escrow"), in which event (i) Lender shall
hold the Work Escrow in a non-interest bearing account (which need not be a
segregated account), (ii) so long as no Additional Default shall occur, Lender
shall disburse portions of the Work Escrow to the parties entitled thereto
upon
delivery of Borrower's request therefor (to be delivered to Lender at least
five
(5) Business Days prior to the date on which Borrower requests each such
disbursement to be made), which request shall specify the costs of the Work
to
be paid and shall be accompanied by a certificate from Borrower (1) stating
that
the Work for which such disbursement is sought has been completed in a good
and
workmanlike manner in accordance with all applicable legal requirements and
(2)
identifying each party that supplied materials, labor, work, services, or
equipment in connection with the Work for which such disbursement is
sought. Borrower shall continue to use good faith efforts to complete
the Work in a timely fashion. In the event that Lender determines in
its reasonable discretion that the Work Escrow is not sufficient to complete
the
Work in accordance with the Budget, Borrower shall have deposit with Lender
the
additional funds necessary to complete the Work within five (5) Business Days
after Lender notifies Borrower.
(d) During
the Third Extended Forbearance Period, so long as no Additional Default shall
occur, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay the Late Charges accruing as
contemplated by Section 8 of the Note. Provided that Borrower pays
the Obligations in full prior to the expiration of the Third Extended
Forbearance Period, Lender shall waive such Late Charges in their
entirety
(e) During
the Third Extended Forbearance Period, so long as no Additional Default shall
occur, although interest shall accrue at the Default Rate as contemplated by
Section 7.2 of the Note, Borrower shall continue to pay interest at the Interest
Rate, and the difference between interest accruing at the Interest Rate and
the
Default Rate (the “ContinuedInterest
Differential”) shall be deferred. Provided that Borrower
pays the Obligations in full prior to the expiration of the Third Extended
Forbearance Period, Lender shall waive the Continued Interest Differential
in
its entirety.
7. Work. As
part of the consideration for Lender’s agreement to continue to forbear from
exercising its rights and remedies with respect to the Existing Default, during
the Third Extended Forbearance Period Borrower shall perform (or cause to be
performed) the Work at its own expense (the cost of which is estimated at
approximately $1,600,00.00). Borrower shall cause the Work to be completed
on or
before the expiration of the Third Extended Forbearance Period pursuant to
the
Budget. Borrower shall deliver the Budget to Lender no later than
___________, 2007 and deliver copies of all modifications or updates
thereto.
8. Interest
Payment. As part of the consideration
for Lender’s agreement to continue to forbear from exercising its rights and
remedies with respect to the Existing Default, contemporaneously with the
execution and delivery of this Amendment Borrower shall deliver to Lender the
sum of $____________ (the "Interest Payment"), to cover
interest estimated to accrue during the Third Extended Forbearance Period,
such
amount to be held by Lender in a non-interest bearing account and applied to
monthly installments of interest as the same become due and payable. Borrower
hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall remain liable for any accrued
interest due and payable to the extent that the Interest Payment is not
sufficient to cover any installments of interest due and payable during the
Third Extended Forbearance Period. If an Additional Default shall
occur, and/or if any amount so paid to Lender remains unapplied at the
expiration of the Second Extended Forbearance Period (or the Third Extended
Forbearance Period, as the case may be), the amount remaining unapplied may
be
applied by Lender,
at its election, to principal, interest, late charges or other sums due and
payable pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents
9. Rating. In
order to maintain the Loan as part of the CDO, Marathon Structured Finance
Fund,
L.P. ("Marathon") must re-acquire the Loan from the CDO for
re-rating by a rating agency and then transfer the same back to the
CDO. As part of the consideration for Lender’s agreement to continue
to enter into this Amendment, Borrower shall pay the costs incurred in
connection with (i) the transfers between Marathon and the CDO and (ii) the
re-rating of the Loan promptly after delivery of an invoice
therefor. Lender estimates that the costs therefor will be
approximately $20,000.00 (Borrower hereby agreeing that it shall be responsible
for the actual cost, whether higher or lower); provided, however, in the event
that the Loan is repaid in full prior to the time such re-rating is complete,
Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such costs.
10. Deposit
Account. Pursuant to the terms of
Section 10(h) of the original Forbearance Agreement, Borrower acknowledged
that
it had no further right title or interest in or to the Deposit Account or the
proceeds thereof by virtue of Lender's notice to SunTrust Bank dated January
18,
2007 (the "Account Notice"). Promptly after
execution and delivery of this Amendment and satisfaction of any conditions
to
the effectiveness hereof, Lender agrees to rescind the Account Notice, whereupon
Borrower shall have access to the Deposit Account as contemplated by the Loan
Agreement, subject to Lender's right to deliver a new Account Notice to SunTrust
Bank if an Additional Default should occur (Lender hereby expressly reserving
all rights with respect thereto).
11. Costs
and Expenses. Borrower shall be liable
to and shall pay to Lender all of the following:

Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses
incurred by or on behalf of Lender relating the Loan, Borrower’s default, and

be
applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan as part of the
consideration for Lender’s agreement to continue to forbear from exercising its
rights and remedies with respect to the Existing Default as provided
hereunder.
(e) In
addition to the foregoing, upon execution and delivery hereof, Borrower shall
pay to Lender a fee in the amount of _____________ and No/100 Dollars
($______.00) {1%

consideration for Lender’s agreement to continue to forbear from exercising its
rights and remedies with respect to the Existing Default as provided
hereunder.
