“(d) Curative Amount. In the event the Debt Yield is less than 9.1% for two (2) consecutive Calendar Periods, and unless Borrower otherwise elects to pledge Additional Collateral as provided in Section 5.20(e) below, then, within fifteen (15) days after written notice from Lender to Borrower, Borrower shall prepay a portion of the outstanding principal of the Note in the amount necessary (the “Curative Amount”) such that a minimum Debt Yield of 9.1% or more is created based on (1) the actual Net Operating Income for the immediately preceding Calendar Period (and annualized) and (2) the Commitment Amount then outstanding as of the end of such Calendar Period, after giving effect to the Curative Amount. Failure of Borrower to timely fund any required Curative Amount shall be deemed an “Event of Default” pursuant to this Agreement in addition to any other “Events of Default” specified herein.
(e) Pledge of Liquid Collateral.

-7-
017104 000576 8313483.4
highly liquid investments acceptable in all respects to Lender in its sole and absolute discretion (for purposes of this Agreement, the term “Additional Collateral” shall mean and refer to such additional collateral as shall be approved by Lender and pledged pursuant to this Section 5.20[e]). The amount or value of the Additional Collateral required to be pledged shall be a function of the liquidation value of such collateral, as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion, and shall be such amount properly margined (i.e., the liquidation value) as would, if subtracted from the total amount of indebtedness evidenced and represented by the Note at such time, result in a Debt Yield (calculated as provided above) equal to 9.1%. In connection with such pledge of Additional Collateral, and not later than fifteen (15) days after written notice from Lender to Borrower of Borrower’s obligation to either pay the Curative Amount or to pledge the Additional Collateral, and provided that Borrower has not instead paid the Curative Amount required at that time pursuant to Section 5.20(d) above, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender all pledge and security agreements, financing statements and other instruments, certificates and agreements as Lender shall reasonably require, and shall deliver to Lender the Additional Collateral or such instruments, certificates, acknowledgments, stock powers, authorizations, powers of attorney, consents and any and all other documentation, as executed by all appropriate parties as may be necessary to effectuate the collateral pledge and assignment of such collateral to Lender, as Lender and its counsel shall reasonably deem necessary or appropriate. If, after Borrower’s provision of Additional Collateral, the Debt Yield should improve so as to be 9.1% or more for any Calendar Period (without taking into account the Additional Collateral), and provided no Event of Default is then existing, then Borrower shall be entitled to a release of the Additional Collateral. Borrower shall thereafter be required to either pay to Lender the Curative Amount or repledge Additional Collateral to the extent the required Debt Coverage Ratio should fail to be met during any subsequent Calendar Period and shall likewise be entitled to a re-release of any such subsequently pledged Additional Collateral consistent with the immediately preceding sentence.”
11.Hedging Agreement. In addition to the Events of Default set forth in the Loan Agreement, Borrower agrees that any default or event of default by Borrower under any Hedging Agreement (as defined in the Deed of Trust), after the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period, shall constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents.
12.Representations and Warranties. Borrower hereby represents and warrants that (a) Borrower is the sole legal and beneficial owner of the Mortgaged Property; (b) the Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party and this Agreement constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium and other laws applicable to creditors’ rights or the collection of debtors’ obligations generally; (c) the execution and delivery of, and performance under this Agreement are within Borrower’s power and authority without the joinder or consent of any other party and have been duly authorized by all requisite action and are not in contravention of law or the powers of Borrower’s articles of

Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred as a result of any representation or warranty made by it herein proving to be untrue in any respect.

Any modification herein of any of the Loan Documents shall in no way adversely affect the security of the Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents for the payment of the Amended and Restated Note. The Loan Documents as modified and amended hereby are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. All liens, security interests, mortgages and assignments granted or created by or existing under the Loan Documents remain unchanged and continue, unabated, in full force and effect, to secure Borrower’s obligation to repay the Amended and Restated Note.
