LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 27

II.2.1.Interest Calculation. Subject to Section 2.2.2 interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall accrue from the Closing Date until the Debt is repaid in full at the Interest Rate, and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the Default Rate. Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made In (b) a daily rate based on the Interest Rate (or the Default Rate, if applicable) and a three hundred sixty (360) day year, lay (c) the Outstanding Principal Balance.

II.2.2.Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance at a rate which could subject Lender or Administrative Agent to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum nonusurious interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received on the Loan and as provided for herein or the other Loan Documents, under the laws of the state or states whose laws arc held by any court of competent jurisdiction to govern the interest rate provisions of the Loan. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest at a rate in excess of the amount allowed pursuant to this Section, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the rate that is not in excess of the amount allowed pursuant to this Section and all previous payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to any Lender or Administrative Agent for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the maximum legal rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

Section II.3.Loan Payment.

II.3.1.Required Payments. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, on the Closing Date an amount equal to interest only on the Outstanding Principal Balance from the Closing Date up to but not including March 8, 2019.

Borrower shall pay the entire Debt to Administrative Agent on the Maturity Date. So long as no Event of Default then exists and except in respect of Net Proceeds, all payments received by Administrative Agent with respect to the Loan shall be applied by each Lender to amounts due with respect to each Note on a pro rata and pan passu basis, based on the outstanding principal amount due under each Note and the interest rate applicable thereto; provided, however, that (A)

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 28

all payments received by Administrative Agent and any amounts applied by each Lender during the continuance of an Event of Default and (B) any Net Proceeds applied to repay the Loan as provided herein, shall, in each case, be applied by Administrative Agent to amounts due with respect to the Notes in such order and priority as Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion.

II.3.2.Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents is not paid by Borrower within five (5) days of the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable Legal Requirements in order to defray the expense incurred by Administrative Agent and Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Administrative Agent and Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no late payment charge shall apply to the failure to pay the entire Outstanding Principal Balance of the Loan when due, whether upon acceleration, or otherwise.

II.3.3.Payments Generally. For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating Interest Periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day. All amounts due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under the Loan Documents shall be made to Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Administrative Agent’s office or as otherwise directed by Administrative Agent, and any funds received by Administrative Agent after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day. While an Event of Default exists, any prepayment shall be applied to payments of principal of the Loan and other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order and priority as Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion. All payments received by Administrative Agent during the existence of an Event of Default on any day other than a Payment Date (other than an Event of Default resulting from a failure to repay the Debt on the Maturity Date) shall be deemed to have been made on the next occurring Payment Date.

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 29

and Lender as a result of such revocation), prepay the Debt in whole, but not in part (except as otherwise expressly permitted under this Agreement), provided that such prepayment is accompanied by (i) all interest accrued on the amount of the Loan being so prepaid through and including the last day of the Interest Period in effect as of such date on which the prepayment is made, (ii) all other sums due and payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to all of Administrative Agent’s and Xxxxxx’s costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements) incurred thereby in connection with such prepayment, and (iii) the Prepayment Premium applicable to such payment. Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of Xxxxxxxx, upon the written request and at the expense of Xxxxxxxx, upon payment in full of the Debt in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, such documents as may be necessary to release the lien of the Security Instrument in form and content reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, the Prepayment Premium is earned as of the Closing Date, and immediately due and payable in connection with the repayment in full of the Debt and/or in the event the Debt is accelerated after the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(b)Special Mezzanine Loan Advance. In addition Borrower shall be permitted to partially prepay the Loan at any time from the proceeds of one or more Special Mezzanine Loan Advances, which prepayment shall (i) be applied solely to the repayment of that portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance (and accrued interest thereon) evidenced by such Note(s) as elected by Mezzanine Loan Administrative Agent and with respect to which the holder thereof has agreed to accept such repayment (it being acknowledged that Borrower has no obligation to force any such Lender to accept such repayment), (ii) not require the payment of any Prepayment Premium, and (iii) not require any act on the part of Borrower (it being agreed that each applicable Lender shall accept such payment directly from Mezzanine Loan Administrative Agent and shall have the right to rely on any notice from Mezzanine Loan Administrative Agent indicating that Mezzanine Lender is making a Special Mezzanine Loan Advance directly to such Lender for the purposes described above without having to determine whether Mezzanine Lender has made such Special Mezzanine Loan Advance in accordance with the requirements of the Mezzanine Loan Agreement); provided that Borrower shall nonetheless cooperate with respect to any Special Mezzanine Loan Advance as set forth in Article VII. From and after the making of any Special Mezzanine Loan Advance, (A) the Loan Amount shall be reduced (and such term deemed to be modified to reflect such reduction) by that portion of the Special Mezzanine Loan Advance that has repaid a portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance; and (B) the Loan Amount (Note B) shall be reduced (and such term deemed to be modified to reflect such reduction) by that portion of the Special Mezzanine Loan Advance that has repaid a portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance evidenced by Note B. From and after the making of any Special Mezzanine Loan Advance, all references in the Loan Documents to any Note that has been repaid shall be of no further force or effect, and, if applicable, the Monthly Payment Amount shall be recalculated to account for such prepayment. Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxx acknowledge and agree that Mezzanine Loan Administrative Agent and Mezzanine Lender are each an intended third-party beneficiary of the right to prepay the Loan from the proceeds of a Special Mezzanine Loan Advance as described above, and that such provisions shall not be modified or waived without Mezzanine Loan Administrative Agent’s and Mezzanine Xxxxxx’s prior written consent.

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 30

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents, so long as no Event of Default then exists, no Prepayment Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.3.5.

Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Legal Requirements.

In addition, if reasonably requested by Borrower, any Lender shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements (or reasonably requested by Borrower) as will enable Borrower to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(6) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as may be necessary for Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment (and solely for purposes of this clause (b), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement and any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with FATCA).

(c)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund in respect of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.3.6 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.3.6(c)), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.3.6 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 32

of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.3.6(c) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.3.6(c) in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.3.6(c) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.3.6(c) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(d)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.3.6 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and/or Administrative Agent, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(e)Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.3.8 or requires Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.3.6(a), then such Lender shall (at the request of Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loan hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to such Sections 2.3.6 or 2.3.8 as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

II.3.7.Breakage Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent and Lenders against any Losses which Administrative Agent and/or any Lender may actually sustain or incur in liquidating or redeploying deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain the Loan or any part thereof as a consequence of (i) any payment or prepayment of the Loan or any portion thereof made on a date other than a Payment Date and (ii) any failure to pay the Debt or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the date thereof or otherwise, and whether by acceleration or otherwise). Administrative Agent shall deliver to Borrower a statement for any such sums which it or any Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.3.7, which statement shall be binding and conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.3.7 are in addition to Borrower’s obligations to pay any Prepayment Premium applicable to a payment or prepayment of the Outstanding Principal Balance.

II.3.8.Legal Requirements. If any Change in Law shall (a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 33

Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the determination of the LIBOR rate hereunder), (b) subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Indemnified Taxes, and (iii) Other Connection Taxes that are imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated) or that are franchise Taxes or branch profits Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or (c) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loan made by such Lender or participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing circumstances described in clauses (a) through (c) shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining the Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make the Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, in any such case, upon request of such Lender, Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements. has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loan made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Xxxxxx’s policies and the policies of such Xxxxxx’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may he, as specified in this Section 2.3.8 and delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.3.8 shall not constitute a waiver of such Xxxxxx’s right w demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.3.8 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than twelve (12) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the twelve-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). Borrower will not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Debt for any part of the Property Taxes or other charges assessed against the Property, or any part thereof, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Property, or any part thereof, for property tax purposes by reason of the Security Instrument or the Debt. If such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by law, or if payment of any Tax by Borrower required hereunder is unlawful, unenforceable, taxable to Lender, or provides the basis for a defense of usury, then in either such case Administrative Agent shall have the option by written notice of not less than one hundred eighty (180) days to declare the Debt immediately due and payable (and any failure to repay the Debt by the end of such 180-day period shall be an Event of Default).

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 34

II.3.9.Allocation of Fees among Noteholders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the following amounts will be allocated as set forth in this Section:

(a)Prepayment Premium. The aggregate Prepayment Premium is allocated to each Note based on the prepayment premium formula set forth in the definition of “Prepayment Premium”, using the same formula as used to calculate the aggregate Prepayment Premium and applying such formula to the principal amount and interest rate of the applicable Note being repaid; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, if the aggregate Prepayment Premium is calculated pursuant to clause (a.)(i) thereof, then the calculation for each Note shall use the formula set forth in clause (a.)(i) and similarly if the aggregate Prepayment Premium is calculated pursuant to clause (a)(ii) thereof, then the calculation for each Note shall use the formula set forth in clause (a)(ii).

(b)Extension Fee. Extension fees wit] be allocated to each Note based on the extension fee formula set forth in clause (e) of the definition of “Extension Conditions” herein, applying such formula to the principal amount of the applicable Note being extended.

(c)Administration Fees. Any processing or administration fees (if applicable) and any fee(s) payable in connection with release of any portion of the Property from the liens of the Loan Documents as may be permitted hereunder or other similar fees payable to Lender hereunder in connection with the granting of requests for approvals (but not including assumption fees, which shall be paid to the Lenders on a pro rata basis, if applicable), shall be allocated to Administrative Agent.

II.3.10.Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any of the Loan Documents, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an BEA Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (and thereafter at Administrative Agent’s sole option and discretion) funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account (other than any (x) amounts that have been deposited into the Clearing Account that Borrower can reasonably demonstrate consist of gratuities paid to employees at the Property or sales, use, or occupancy Taxes payable by Borrower to any applicable Governmental Authority, which amounts shall be disbursed to Borrower so long as no Event of Default exists, (y) Revenues paid more than one (1) month in advance (“Prepaid Revenues”), which shall be retained in the Cash Management Account until payment thereof is due under the applicable Lease, and (z) Extraordinary Lease Payments, which shall be held and disbursed in accordance with Section 3.2(e) below)), shall be applied on each Payment Date in the following amounts and order of priority:

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 37

Section III.2.Required Deposits.

(a)Tax Reserve Account. Borrower shall (i) on the Closing Date, deposit with Administrative Agent the applicable amount shown on Administrative Agent’s settlement statement (if any), and (ii) on each Payment Date commencing with the Payment Date in April, 2019 deposit with Administrative Agent the amount that Administrative Agent reasonably estimates will be necessary in order to accumulate (together with the initial deposit made on the Closing Date and projected monthly deposits thereafter) sufficient funds to pay, at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, all Property Taes due within the ensuing twelve (12) months. Such amounts will be held in a deposit account established by Administrative Agent from time to time (the “Tax Reserve Account”). Provided no Event of Default shall then exist, Administrative Agent will apply the funds in the Tax Reserve Account to payments of the Property Taxes for which such funds have been reserved. In making any such payment, Administrative Agent may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office without inquiry into the accuracy thereof. If Administrative Agent so elects at any time, Borrower shall provide, at Borrower’s expense, a tax service contract for the term of the Loan issued by a tax reporting agency acceptable to Administrative Agent. If Administrative Agent does not so elect, Borrower shall reimburse Administrative Agent for the cost of making annual tax searches throughout the term of the Loan.

(b)Insurance Reserve Account. Borrower shall (i) on the Closing Date, deposit with Administrative Agent the applicable amount shown on Administrative Agent’s settlement statement (if any), and (ii) on each Payment Date commencing with the Payment Date in April, 2019 deposit with Administrative Agent the amount that Administrative Agent estimates will be necessary in order to accumulate (together with the initial deposit made on the Closing Date and projected monthly deposits thereafter) sufficient funds to pay, at least thirty (30) days prior to its expiration, all premiums payable for the Required Policies (“Insurance Premiums”) due within the ensuing twelve (12) months. Such amounts will be held in a deposit account established by Administrative Agent from time to time (the “Insurance Reserve Account”). Provided no Event of Default shall then exist, Administrative Agent will apply the funds in the Insurance Reserve Account to payments of Insurance Premiums for Required Policies. In making any such payment, Administrative Agent may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from an insurer or agent without inquiry into the accuracy thereof unless Administrative Agent has received prior notice from Borrower of the inaccuracy of such bill, statement or estimate (but in any event Administrative Agent may make payment pursuant to any such bill or statement if necessary to avoid the expiration of any Required Policy). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Xxxxxxxx’s obligation to make the monthly deposits for Insurance Premiums required above shall be suspended as long as the following conditions remain satisfied: (A) no Event of Default then exists; (B) Borrower or an Affiliate thereof maintains a blanket insurance policy that provides the coverages required by Section 5.1.11 of this Agreement with respect to the Property; and (C) Xxxxxxxx delivers to Administrative Agent, evidence that the premium due for such blanket insurance policy has been paid and that such blanket insurance policy is in full force and effect at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such policy is scheduled to expire. If at any time any one of the foregoing conditions is not satisfied, Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days after Administrative Agent’s written demand, deposit with Administrative Agent

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 38

immediately available funds in the amount determined in good faith by Administrative Agent to be sufficient (together with projected monthly deposits) to pay the Insurance Premium due for the coverages required hereunder at least thirty (30) days prior to the date the same is payable, and commence making monthly deposits on the immediately following Payment Date in the amounts described above.

(c)Project Expenditure Reserve Account.

In addition, Borrower shall, on the Payment Date occurring in December, 2020, deposit with Administrative Agent any remaining amount necessary to complete the Project solely with respect to the St. Petersburg Marriott, such amount to be determined in Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion (less amounts on deposit for the payment of Project Expenditures for Project Expenditures for the St. Petersburg Marriott). Such amounts will be held in a deposit account established by Administrative Agent from time to time (the “Project Expenditure Reserve Account”). Amounts so deposited with Administrative Agent shall be disbursed (if at all) as provided in Section 3.3 below only for the payment of Project Expenditures for Project Expenditures for the St. Petersburg Marriott. Amounts in the Project Expenditure Reserve Account shall not be disbursed for FF&E Expenditures, which shall be subject to disbursement as set forth in subsection (d) below. In addition to the quarterly deposits required above, on or before the earlier of (i) the Payment Date first following the date that the Franchisor for the Hilton Garden Inn requires that a property improvement plan be completed for the Hilton Garden Inn, or (ii) the Payment Date in March, 2021, and continuing for a period of 12 successive Payment Dates, Borrower shall also make monthly deposits to the Project Expenditure Reserve in an amount equal to one twelfth (1/12th) of the amount estimated by Administrative Agent to be the cost to complete the property improvement plan required by the Franchisor, or if no property improvement plan is required by the Franchisor prior to the Payment Date in March, 2021, an amount estimated by Administrative Agent as necessary to improve the Hilton Garden Inn for future anticipated property improvement plans that will be required by the Franchisor after such Payment Date, less in each case any amounts then held in the Project Expenditure Reserve Account and not required to complete the Project with respect to the St. Petersburg Marriott. Amounts so deposited (or allocated from excess funds not necessary to complete the Project with respect to the St. Petersburg Marriott) with Administrative Agent shall be disbursed (if at all) as provided in Section 3.3 below only for the payment of Project Expenditures for Project Expenditures for the Hilton Garden Inn. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no monthly deposits shall be required for the Hilton Garden Inn (and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any amounts previously collected with respect to the Hilton Garden Inn or excess funds allocated to the Hilton Garden Inn from deposits for the St. Petersburg Marriott shall be disbursed to Borrower) if the conditions to the release of NexPoint as a Guarantor set forth in the Guaranty have been satisfied and NexPoint has in fact been released from the Guaranty by Administrative Agent.

(d)FF&E Reserve Account. Borrower shall (i) on the Closing Date, deposit with Administrative Agent the applicable amount shown on Administrative Agent’s settlement statement (if any), and (ii) on each Payment Date commencing with the Payment Date in April,

Such amounts will be held in a deposit account established by Administrative Agent from time to time (the “FF&E Reserve Account”). Amounts so deposited with Administrative Agent shall be disbursed (if at all) as provided in Section 3.3 below only for the payment of FF&E Expenditures. Amounts in the FF&E Reserve Account shall not be disbursed for Project Expenditures, which shall be subject to reimbursement as set forth in subsection (c) above.

Section III.3.Disbursements from the Reserve Accounts. Administrative Agent shall disburse funds from the applicable Reserve Account for the payment of costs and expenses incurred in connection with an applicable Reserve Item, but not more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period, upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (a) Borrower shall submit a written request for payment to Administrative Agent (together with evidence reasonably required by Administrative Agent to evidence satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 3.3) at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made and specifies the Reserve Item for which such payment is requested; (b) on the date such request is received by Administrative Agent and on the date such payment is to be made, no Event of Default exists; (c) Administrative Agent shalt have received (i) prior to the first request for a disbursement from a Reserve Account (and prior to any subsequent request for a disbursement where the authorized representative of Borrower has changed), a Certificate of Authority indicating the representative of Borrower that is authorized to make such request, and (ii) for each request for disbursement from a Reserve Account, an Officer’s Certificate with all blanks completed and applicable attachments included; (d) Borrower shall have delivered to Administrative Agent copies of all applicable Leases, commission/fee agreements, bills, invoices, receipts and other documentation reasonably required by Administrative Agent with respect to the Reserve Item for which the disbursement is sought; (e) intentionally omitted; and (f) at Administrative Agent’s option, if the disbursement request is from a Reserve Account other than the Tax Reserve Account or the Insurance Reserve Account, Borrower shall furnish Administrative Agent with a title search indicating that the Property is free from all liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not be required to make disbursements from the Reserve Accounts (other than the Tax Reserve Account or the Insurance Reserve Account, which shall not be so limited) unless such requested disbursement is in an amount greater than $10,000 (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the applicable Reserve Account is less than $10,000, in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made). No funds shall be disbursed from a Reserve Account for the payment of a Reserve Item for which funds have been reserved in a different Reserve Account (or for a Reserve Item for which no funds have been reserved). Any amount remaining in a Reserve Account after the Debt

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 40

has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower (provided, however if at such time Administrative Agent has received written notice that a Mezzanine Loan Event of Default then exists, such funds shall instead be deemed distributed to Borrower and shall be paid to Mezzanine Loan Administrative Agent).

Section III.4.Accounts Generally. If at any time Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the funds available in any Reserve Account will not be sufficient to pay for the cost or expense for which such funds have been required to be deposited with Administrative Agent hereunder by the date required therefor, or if Administrative Agent determines in good faith (based on the then-current Approved Annual Budget or on review of a physical conditions report for the Property, or any other objective, third party source) to reassess its estimate of the amount reasonably necessary to be reserved for any such costs or expenses, then, at Administrative Agent’s option provided to Borrower in writing, Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Administrative Agent with respect to the applicable Reserve Account(s) by the amount that Administrative Agent so notifies Borrower is required and/or deposit the shortfall amount determined by Administrative Agent into the applicable Reserve Account(s) within twenty (20) Business Days of notice from Administrative Agent. The insufficiency of any balance in any Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligations under the Loan Documents. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Cash Management Account, the Clearing Account, and the Reserve Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of Administrative Agent (which dominion and control may be exercised by Servicer), Administrative Agent and Servicer shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from such accounts (without limiting the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the Clearing Account Agreement), and all costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining such accounts shall be paid by Borrower. Administrative Agent may replace such accounts or establish new accounts from time to time in its sole discretion, and Xxxxxxxx hereby agrees that it shall take all action reasonably necessary to facilitate the transfer of the respective obligations, duties and rights of any applicable bank to the successor thereof selected by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. Interest or other earnings that may accrue with respect to any funds held in a Reserve Account (if any) shall not be required to be remitted to Borrower or any Reserve Account and shall instead he retained by Administrative Agent (or at Administrative Agent’s election, its Servicer or any other designee of Administrative Agent). The funds in the Reserve Accounts shall not constitute trust funds and may be held in Administrative Agent’s name and commingled with other monies held by Administrative Agent.

Xxxxxxxx has indefeasible and insurable fee simple title to the real property comprising part of the Property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all liens and security interests whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances. There are no liens on or security interests in the direct ownership interests in any Individual Borrower or any Mezzanine Borrower (other than Permitted Encumbrances). Neither the Property nor any part thereof, nor any direct ownership interests in any Individual Borrower or any Mezzanine Borrower, are subject to any purchase options, rights of first refusal, rights of first offer or other similar rights in favor of any Person. The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property (as currently used) or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. There are no material claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property, which are or may become a lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the liens created by the Loan Documents. There are no prior assignments of the Leases or any portion of the Revenues due and payable or to become due and payable which are presently outstanding.

Section IV.7.Solvency. Borrower has (a) not entered into the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or executed the Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Xxxxxxxx’s total liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower, and Borrower has never made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. None of Borrower, or any of its respective direct or indirect owners is contemplating either the filing of a Bankruptcy Action by Borrower or the liquidation of all or a major portion of its assets or properties, and Xxxxxxxx has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it.

Section IV.8.Compliance. To the best of Xxxxxxxx’s knowledge, Borrower and the Property (including the use thereof) comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements. To the best of Xxxxxxxx’s knowledge, there has not been committed by Borrower or, to Xxxxxxxx’s knowledge, any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property any act or omission affording any Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. To the best of Xxxxxxxx’s knowledge and except as otherwise set forth in the zoning reports delivered to Administrative Agent in contemplation of the Loan, in the event that all or any part of the Improvements are destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such damage

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 43

or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without violating any zoning or other ordinances applicable thereto and without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special permits, and neither the zoning nor any other right to construct, use or operate the Property is in any way dependent upon or related to any property other than the Property. The use being made of the Property is in conformity with the certificate of occupancy issued for the Property and, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, all other restrictions, covenants and conditions affecting the Property. The Loan is solely for the business purpose of Xxxxxxxx, and is not for personal, family, household, or agricultural purposes.

Section IV.9.Condemnation. No Condemnation or other similar proceeding has been commenced or, to Xxxxxxxx’s knowledge, is threatened or contemplated with respect to all or any portion of the Property or for the relocation of any roadway providing access to the Property.

Section IV.10.Utilities and Public Access. The Property is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road (or has access to it via an in-evocable easement or irrevocable right of way permitting ingress and egress to and from such public road), and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service the Property for its intended uses. All public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of the Property are located either in the public right-of-way abutting the Property (which are connected so as to serve the Property without passing over other property) or in recorded easements serving the Property and such easements are set forth in and insured by the Title Insurance Policy. All easements, cross easements, licenses, air rights and rights-of-way or other similar property interests, if any, necessary for the full utilization of the Improvements for their intended purposes have been obtained, are described in the Title Insurance Policy and are in full force and effect without default thereunder.

Section IV.11.Separate Tax Lots: Assessments. The Property is comprised of one (I) or more parcels that constitute one (I) or more separate tax lots and do not constitute a portion of any other tax lot that is not a part of the Property. There are no pending or, to Xxxxxxxx’s knowledge, proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Property, nor, to Borrower’s knowledge, are there any contemplated improvements to the Property that may result in such special or other assessments.

Section IV.12.Insurance. Borrower has obtained and has delivered to Administrative Agent certificates for all Required Policies required hereunder, with all premiums currently payable thereunder having been paid, reflecting the insurance coverages, amounts and other requirements set forth in this Agreement. No claims have been made under any such Required Policies, and no Person has done, by act or omission, anything that would impair the coverage of any such Required Policies.

Section IV.13.Use of Property: Licenses. The Property is used exclusively as hotels and other appurtenant and related uses. All certifications, permits, licenses and approvals (including certificates of completion and occupancy permits (or its equivalent) and any applicable liquor license) required for the current legal use, occupancy and operation of the Property, have been obtained and are in full force and effect.

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 44

Section IV.14.Flood Zone. Except as may be shown on the survey delivered to Administrative Agent in connection with the dosing of the Loan, none of the Improvements on the Property are located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood hazards (or, if so located, the flood insurance required pursuant to Section 5.1.11 hereof is in full force and effect with respect to the Property).

Section IV.15.Physical Condition. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, subject to Completion of the Project, the Property (including all buildings, improvements, parking facilities, sidewalks, storm drainage systems, roofs, plumbing systems, HVAC systems, fire protection systems, electrical systems, equipment, elevators, exterior sidings and doors, landscaping, irrigation systems and all structural components) is in good condition, order and repair in all material respects. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, there exists no structural or other material defects or damages in the Property, whether latent or otherwise, and Borrower has not received notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defects or inadequacies in the Property, or any part thereof, which would adversely affect the insurability of the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or of any termination or threatened termination o1 any policy of insurance or bond. The Improvements have suffered no material casualty or damage which has not been fully repaired and the cost thereof fully paid.

Section IV.16.Boundaries: Survey. Except as may be otherwise shown on the survey of the Property delivered to Administrative Agent in contemplation of the Loan, all of the improvements which were included in determining the appraised value of the Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances), and no easements or other encumbrances upon the Property encroach upon any of the Improvements, so as to affect the value or marketability of the Property except those which are insured against by the Title Insurance Policy. To Borrowers knowledge, the survey for the Property delivered to Administrative Agent in connection with the Loan does not fail to reflect any material matter affecting the Property or the title thereto.

Section IV.17.Leases. Except as disclosed on Schedule X attached hereto and except for the Operating Leases, none of the Properties are subject to any Leases.

Section IV.18.Filing and Recording Taxes. All transfer taxes, deed stamps, intangible taxes or other amounts in the nature of transfer taxes required to be paid by any Person under applicable Legal Requirements currently in effect in connection with the transfer of the Property to Borrower have been paid.

Section IV.20.Financial Information; Disclosure. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, all information submitted to Administrative Agent (including all financial statements, rent rolls, reports, certificates and other documents submitted in connection with the Loan or in satisfaction of the terms thereof, and all statements of fact made in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document) (a) are accurate, complete and correct in all material respects, (b) accurately represent the financial condition of Borrower, Guarantor, and/or Property as of the date of such reports (as applicable), (c) to the extent prepared, audited or reviewed by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared, audited or reviewed in accordance with the Approved Accounting Method throughout the periods covered (except as disclosed therein), and (d) do not omit to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading.

There has been no material adverse change in any condition, fact, circumstance or event that would make any such information inaccurate, incomplete or otherwise misleading in any material respect or that would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower has disclosed to Administrative Agent all material facts in its knowledge that would cause any information provided to Administrative Agent or any representation or warranty made in any of the Loan Documents concerning Borrower, Guarantor, Manager, or the Property, to be materially misleading. To Xxxxxxxx’s knowledge, no statement of fact made by Borrower or Guarantor in any of the Loan Documents to which such Person is a party contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact presently known to such Person and necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading.

(a)Not later than the date that is fifteen (15) days after the applicable Index is equal to or greater than the applicable Trigger Rate (it being agreed that Borrower shall be responsible for determining for itself when the Index has reached such point, but that any notice from Administrative Agent indicating the same shall be deemed conclusive absent manifest error) Borrower shall obtain an agreement from (or guaranteed by) an Acceptable Counterparty, which agreement (an “Interest Rate Cap Agreement”) shall (i) be in the form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, (ii) contain the agreement of such counterparty to make payments to Borrower in the event the applicable Index exceeds the applicable Strike Rate, (iii) require payments based on a notional amount at least equal to the Loan Amount, (iv) not terminate prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date, (v) require payments to be made on the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the applicable Payment Date, and (vi) contain a one-time right to reallocate notional amounts between the Interest Rate Cap Agreement obtained in connection with the Loan and the Interest Rate Cap Agreement obtained in connection with the Mezzanine Loan at no cost to Administrative Agent or any Lender. Borrower shall not waive or amend any of the material terms of any such required Interest Rate Cap Agreement.

(b)In the event of any downgrade or withdrawal of the rating of an Acceptable Counterparty below “A-” by S&P or “A3” from Xxxxx’x (or such other lower rating levels as are acceptable to Administrative Agent), or in the event of any default by an Acceptable Counterparty under an Interest Rate Cap Agreement required hereunder, Borrower shall, not later than thirty (30) days following the receipt by Borrower of notice of such downgrade, withdrawal, or default (whether received from Administrative Agent, the Acceptable Counterparty, or otherwise) (or such later period with respect to the following clause (ii) if such Acceptable Counterparty has a longer period of time to provide such collateral) either (i) replace such Interest Rate Cap Agreement with an Interest Rate Cap Agreement satisfying the requirements of clause (a) above, (ii) provide a guaranty from a guarantor who is an Acceptable Counterparty, or (iii) to the extent required of such Acceptable Counterparty in such Interest Rate Cap Agreement, cause the Acceptable Counterparty to deliver cash collateral to secure 100% of the mark-to-market value of Borrower’s exposure under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Acceptable Counterparty ceases to have a long term rating of at least “BBB” or “Baal” by S&P and Moody’s respectively, then Borrower shall replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement with an Interest Rate Cap Agreement satisfying the requirements in clause (a) above, not later than thirty (30) days following the receipt by Borrower of notice of such downgrade (whether received from Administrative Agent, the Acceptable Counterparty, or otherwise).

(c)Borrower shall collaterally assign any such required Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Administrative Agent, and shall cause the counterparty to such Interest Rate Cap Agreement to consent to such collateral assignment and deliver an opinion of counsel regarding the enforceability of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Administrative Agent as Xxxxxxxx’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest and with full power of substitution, to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and to exercise and enforce every right, power, remedy, option and privilege of Borrower with respect to the collateral for the Loan, and do in the name, place and stead of Borrower, all such acts, things and deeds for and on behalf of and in the name of Borrower, which Borrower is required to do under the Loan Documents or which Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable to more fully vest in Administrative Agent the rights and remedies provided for in the Loan Documents and to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including any amendment to the Loan Documents which may be required hereunder, in each case upon Xxxxxxxx’s failure to take any of the foregoing actions or any other applicable action required under the Loan Documents within ten (10) Business Days after notice from Administrative Agent. The foregoing powers of attorney are irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

V.1.6.Reporting.

(a)Borrower will keep and maintain or will cause to be kept and maintained on a fiscal year basis (commencing January 1 of each year), in accordance with the Approved Accounting Method, proper and accurate books, records and accounts reflecting all of the financial affairs of Borrower.

Until such time that Administrative Agent approves a proposed budget, the most recently Approved Annual

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 51

Budget shall apply; provided, however, that such Approved Annual Budget shall be deemed adjusted to reflect actual increases in Property Taxes, Insurance Premiums and utilities expenses. The approved Annual Budget for the remainder of calendar year 2019 is attached hereto as Exhibit C.

(c)Any reports, statements or other information required to be delivered under this Agreement shall be provided to Administrative Agent as an electronic Excel file and as a .pdf file (or otherwise in a form reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent), in English, and shall be delivered electronically unless Administrative Agent requests that the same be delivered in paper form, and accompanied by a certificate of Borrower stating that such information is accurate and complete in all material respects and does not intentionally omit a material fact necessary in order to make the same not misleading in any material respect. Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent and Xxxxxx may disclose all documents, materials, and information regarding the Property, Borrower, Guarantor, their constituent direct and indirect owners, and/or the Loan that is now or hereafter becomes in Administrative Agent’s or Xxxxxx’s possession and/or is or may be provided to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 5.1.6 and/or pursuant to Article VII hereof to any applicable parties requesting such information in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction (including each actual or potential purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant or investor in the Loan or in any Securities, any Rating Agency, any organization maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of commercial loans, trustees, counsel, and accountants). Administrative Agent shall have the right from time to time at all times during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice (which may be given verbally) to examine such books, records and accounts at the office of Borrower or any other Person maintaining such books, records and accounts and to make such copies or extracts thereof as Administrative Agent shall desire.

(d)If any report, statement or other information required to be delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 5.1.6 (a “Required Report”) is not timely delivered (and without limiting the terms and conditions of Article VI hereof), Borrower shall promptly pay to Administrative Agent, as a late charge, (i) the sum of $250.00 with respect to any such Required Report not timely delivered; provided, however, with respect to the first such Required Report that is not timely delivered in any calendar year, such fee shall only be due if the Required Report is not delivered on or prior to the date that is ten (10) Business Days after the due date thereof; and (ii) if any such Required Report is not delivered within five (5) Business Days after written notice from Administrative Agent, the sum of $250.00 per day with respect to any such Required Report until the same is delivered.    Xxxxxxxx acknowledges that Administrative Agent and Xxxxxx will incur additional expenses as a result of any such late deliveries, which expenses would be impracticable to quantify, and that Borrower’s payments under this Section 5.1.6(d) are a reasonable estimate of such expenses. Borrower acknowledges further that the payment by Borrower of this late charge does not in any manner affect or otherwise impair or waive any rights and remedies Administrative Agent and Xxxxxx may have hereunder, under the Loan Documents or under applicable Legal Requirements for any Event of Default.

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 52

V.1.7.Title to the Property. Borrower will warrant and defend (a) the title to the Property and every part thereof, and (b) the validity and priority of the lien of the applicable Loan Documents, in each case against the claims of all Persons (subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances).

Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Administrative Agent, in a reasonable timeline after Administrative Agent’s written request, tenant estoppel certificates from each commercial tenant leasing space at the Property in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, however that Borrower shall not be required to deliver such certificates more frequently than one (1) time in any calendar year, absent the continuance of an Event of Default.

V.1.9.Operation of the Property. Borrower shall cause the Property to be maintained in a good and safe condition and repair in all material respects, and at all times keep the Property in good working order and repair (subject to ordinary wear and tear and casualty damage). Borrower shall cause the Property to be operated, in all material respects, in accordance with the Management Agreement. If the Management Agreement expires or is terminated (without limiting any obligation of Borrower to obtain Administrative Agent’s consent to any termination or modification of the Management Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement), Borrower shall promptly enter into a Management Agreement in form and content reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent with a Manager approved by Administrative Agent. Borrower shall: (a) promptly perform and/or observe, in all material respects, all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed by it under the Management Agreement and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder; (b) promptly notify Administrative Agent of any material default under the Management Agreement of which it is aware; (c) promptly deliver to Administrative Agent a copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditures plan, notice, report and estimate received by it under the Management Agreement; and (d) enforce the performance and observance of all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and/or observed by Manager under the Management Agreement, in a commercially reasonable manner.

V.1.10.Immediate Repairs. Borrower shall complete the Immediate Repairs on or before the required deadline for each as set forth on Schedule I (which deadlines shall be extended on a day-for-day basis for each day during which performance of such obligations was prevented on account of an event or circumstance constituting a Force Majeure; provided however in no event shall such deadlines be extended for a period longer than sixty (60) days in the aggregate). At Administrative Agent’s option, it shall be an Event of Default (if Administrative Agent so notifies Borrower in writing) if Borrower does not complete the Immediate Repairs within ten (10) Business Days of such required deadline (as extended as provided above).

V.1.11.Insurance. Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained, insurance for Borrower and the Property providing at least the coverages described on Schedule VI attached hereto (each a “Required Policy”). Borrower shall provide complete copies of the Required Policies to Administrative Agent promptly upon Administrative Agent’s request. Borrower shall be permitted to obtain the Required Policies under a “blanket” insurance policy so long as such policy specifically allocates to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and otherwise provides the same protection as would a separate policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.1.11. If at any time all Required Policies are not in full force and effect, Administrative Agent shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Administrative Agent in its sole discretion deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after written demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Security Instrument and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Borrower shall promptly forward to Administrative Agent a copy of each written notice received by Borrower of any modification, reduction or cancellation of any of the Required Policies or of any of the coverages afforded under any of the Required Policies.

V.1.12.Casualty and Condemnation.

(a)If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), or any temporary or permanent taking of (or affecting) the Property by any Governmental Authority pursuant to the exercise of the right of condemnation or eminent domain (a “Condemnation”) shall occur, be commenced or be threatened in writing, Borrower shall (i) give prompt notice of the same to Administrative Agent (and deliver to Administrative Agent copies of any and all papers served in connection with any Condemnation proceeding), and (ii) diligently prosecute a Restoration so that the Property resembles, as nearly as possible, the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such event, and (iii) pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Administrative Agent may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies concerning a Casualty, and any settlement discussions with any Governmental Authority with respect to a Condemnation (and shall have the right to approve any final settlement with respect to either) with respect to any Casualty or Condemnation in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are reasonably expected to exceed the Net Proceeds Threshold. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent all instruments required by

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 54

Administrative Agent to permit such participation. Borrower shall cooperate with Administrative Agent in obtaining for Administrative Agent and Lender the benefits of any condemnation proceeds or insurance proceeds lawfully or equitably payable in connection with the Property, and Administrative Agent and Xxxxxx shall be reimbursed by Borrower for any expenses incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and the payment by Borrower of the expense of an appraisal on behalf of Administrative Agent in case of Casualty or Condemnation affecting the Property or any part thereof) from such condemnation proceeds or insurance proceeds, as applicable.

(b)All proceeds or awards payable in connection with any Casualty or Condemnation shall be due and payable solely to Administrative Agent and shall be held by Administrative Agent in a deposit account established by Administrative Agent from time to time (the “Net Proceeds Reserve Account”) as additional collateral for the Obligations, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event Borrower or any party other than Administrative Agent is a payee on any check representing such proceeds or awards, Borrower shall promptly endorse (and cause all such third parties to endorse) such check payable to the order of Administrative Agent. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to endorse any such check payable to the order of Administrative Agent in the event Borrower has not done so within five (5) days after Administrative Agent’s demand therefor. The expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and Lender in the adjustment and collection of such proceeds or awards shall become part of the Debt and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Administrative Agent within five (5) days after Administrative Agent’s written demand. Borrower hereby releases Administrative Agent from any and all liability with respect to the settlement and adjustment by Administrative Agent of any claims in respect of any Casualty or Condemnation unless caused by Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Net Proceeds Threshold and the costs of completing Restoration shall be less than the Net Proceeds Threshold, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Administrative Agent to Borrower upon receipt, provided that no Event of Default then exists and Borrower delivers to Administrative Agent a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration of the Property (if applicable) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Net Proceeds Threshold or the costs of completing Restoration is equal to or greater than the Net Proceeds Threshold, Borrower shalt not be permitted to use the Net Proceeds for a Restoration (or to retain Net Proceeds in the event no Restoration is required) unless the following conditions are satisfied:

(i)no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(ii)(A) in the event the Net Proceeds are insurance proceeds, less than thirty percent (30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty, or (B) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation proceeds, less than fifteen percent (15%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the Improvements on the Property is located on such land or is being taken;

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 55

(iii)Intentionally omitted:

(iv)Administrative Agent shall have determined in good faith that the proceeds of any applicable business interruption insurance (together with any projected Revenues and any additional funds to be deposited with Administrative Agent for such purposes) are sufficient to pay all Debt Service coming due under the Loan Documents and all Operating Expenses through the end of the Restoration;

(v)Administrative Agent shall have determined in good faith that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (A) intentionally omitted, (B) intentionally omitted, (C) such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements, and (D) the expiration of any applicable business interruption insurance coverage (unless, with respect to this clause (D) Borrower provides to Administrative Agent its own funds upon the expiration of such coverage to keep operating deficits current (including all scheduled payments of Debt Service));

(vi)the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements;

(vii)such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the total loss of access to the Property or the related Improvements;

(viii)Administrative Agent shall have determined that, after giving effect to the Restoration, the Debt Yield shall be equal to or greater than the lesser of (a) 10.5% and (b) Debt Yield in effect immediately prior to the applicable Casualty or Condemnation;

(ix)intentionally omitted;

(x)Administrative Agent shall have determined that, after giving effect to the Restoration, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) in which the numerator is the Outstanding Principal Balance plus the Mezzanine Loan Outstanding Principal Balance, and the denominator is equal to the appraised value of the Property (as reasonably determined by Administrative Agent) and based upon assumptions reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, and otherwise acceptable to Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, shall not be greater than such ratio in effect immediately prior to the applicable Casualty or Condemnation;

(xi)Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a detailed budget for the cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be subject to Administrative Agent’s approval; such approval not to be unreasonably withheld; and

(xii)the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Administrative Agent are sufficient in Administrative Agent’s discretion to cover the cost of Restoration.

(c)All Net Proceeds received by Administrative Agent and not disbursed to Borrower shall be held by Administrative Agent in the Net Proceeds Reserve Account and shall

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 56

be applied (i) to the repayment of Debt if Administrative Agent so elects and is not required to allow Borrower to use the same as provided in Section 5.1.12(b) above, or (ii) toward the cost of Restoration to the extent so required pursuant to Section 5.1.12(b) above; provided however that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the Debt on the respective dates of payment provided for, or perform the Obligations as required under, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of such Net Proceeds. If the conditions described in Section 5.1.12(b) have been satisfied, Borrower shall commence any applicable Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than ninety (90) days after Administrative Agent has informed Borrower as to whether such conditions have been satisfied) and shall complete the same in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements in all material respects. If such conditions have not been satisfied, Borrower shall not be deemed to be in Default hereunder for failing to diligently pursue a Restoration for a period of ninety (90) days thereafter so long as the Debt is repaid in full within such 90-day period (provided that the foregoing shall not be deemed a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default that may occur during such 90-day period).

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all insurance proceeds received by Borrower or Administrative Agent in respect of business interruption coverage shall be held by Administrative Agent in the Net Proceeds Reserve Account and, so long as no Event of Default then exists, shall be applied (i) first to the Debt then due and payable and the Debt under (and as defined in) the Mezzanine Loan Agreement that is then due and payable, and (ii) then to Operating Expenses approved by Administrative Agent in its sole but reasonable discretion; provided, however that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the Debt on the respective dates of payment provided for, or perform its Obligations as required under, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(e)Funds in the Net Proceeds Reserve Account shall be disbursed by Administrative Agent to pay the costs of the Restoration to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent that (i) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (ii) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same (other than notices related to any retainage that is not yet due and payable per any applicable construction contract), or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not been fully bonded or insured to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent. All plans and specifications required in connection with Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Administrative Agent and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Administrative Agent, in each cash such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and approval by Administrative Agent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. All out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for Restoration shall be paid by Borrower. In no event shall Administrative Agent be obligated to make disbursements

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 57

of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of Restoration, minus an amount equal to ten percent (10%) (or such higher amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in Restoration) of the direct construction “hard” costs actually incurred for work in place as part of Restoration, until Restoration has been completed. Such retained amount shall not be released until Administrative Agent has determined in good faith that Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.1.12(e) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Administrative Agent receives evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent that the costs of Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of such retained amount; provided however, that Administrative Agent will release the portion of such retained amount being held with respect to any Person upon Administrative Agent determining that such Person has satisfactorily completed all work and/or has supplied all materials required of such Person and such Person has waived any right to lien the Property. Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.

(f)If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the good faith opinion of Administrative Agent, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated in good faith by Administrative Agent to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency with Administrative Agent before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made, and such sums shall be held by Administrative Agent and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to Section 5.1.12(e) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and the Obligations.

(g)The excess, if any, of the funds in the Net Proceeds Reserve Account after Administrative Agent has determined that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1.12(c). and the receipt by Administrative Agent of evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be applied in the same manner as Revenues are applied pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof (or if not applicable, first shall be disbursed to Mezzanine Loan Administrative Agent for application in accordance with the Mezzanine Loan Documents if the Mezzanine Loan is outstanding, and then shall be disbursed to Borrower so long as no Event of Default then exists).

(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if the Loan or any portion thereof is included in a Securitization and, immediately following a release of any portion of the Property following a Casualty or Condemnation, the ratio of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan to the value of the remaining Property is greater than 125% (such value to be determined in Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion), Administrative Agent shall not be required to release any Net Proceeds for Restoration of the Property, and the principal balance of the Loan must be paid down by Borrower by the greater of (i) such amount as may be required such that the Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a “real estate mortgage

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 58

investment conduit” within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code as a result of the related release of lien, and (ii) the least of the following amounts: (A) the Net Proceeds, (B) the fair market value of the portion of the Property released following such Casualty or Condemnation at the time of the release, and (C) an amount such that the loan-to-value ratio of the Loan (as so determined by Administrative Agent) does not increase after the release, unless Administrative Agent receives an opinion of counsel that a different application of the Net Proceeds will not cause the Securitization to fail to meet applicable federal income tax qualification requirements or subject such Securitization to tax. All other Net Proceeds not required to be made available for Restoration or to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to this Section 5.1.12 hereof shall be either retained and applied by Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.3.5 hereof toward reduction of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Administrative Agent, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Administrative Agent shall approve, in its discretion,

V.1.13.The Project. Borrower shall complete the Project on or before the date required in the applicable Franchise Agreement. At Administrative Agent’s option, it shall be an Event of Default (if Administrative Agent so notifies Borrower in writing) if Borrower does not complete such work by such required deadline, subject to cure periods in the applicable Franchise Agreement and any modifications of such deadline agreed to between the applicable Franchisor and Borrower.

V.1.14.Intentionally Omitted.

V.1.15.Expenses: Indemnity.

(a)Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Xxxxxxxx fails to pay, to reimburse, Administrative Agent upon receipt of written notice from Administrative Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Administrative Agent or Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including without limitation any opinions requested by Administrative Agent as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property); (ii) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s respective 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 and obtaining updated or new appraisals of the Property (provided however so long as no Event of Default exists, Borrower shall not be required to pay for more than one appraisal in any twelve (12) month period); (iii) Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iv) 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

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 59

documents or matters requested by Xxxxxxxx; (v) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Administrative Agent all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the liens in favor of Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any rights, either in response to third party claims or in prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, Guarantor, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any Obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Property or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided however that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence or illegal acts or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent.

(b)Xxxxxxxx shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Servicer, their respective Affiliates, and their respective directors, managers, officers, partners, members, shareholders, participants, employees, professionals and agents of any of the foregoing, and the successors and assigns of the foregoing (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Losses that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against an Indemnified Party in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any Defaults or Events of Default under the Loan and/or in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents, (ii) any breach by Borrower of its Obligations under, or any misrepresentation by any Borrower Party contained in the Loan Documents, (iii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan, (iv) reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Administrative Agent or Lender in connection with any amendment to, or restructuring of, the Debt or the Loan Documents, (v) any accident, injury to, or death of, Persons or loss of or damage to the Property occurring in, on or about the Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or rights of way, (vi) any use, non-use or condition in, on or about the Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or rights of way, (vii) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Property or any part thereof, (viii) any failure of the Property to be in compliance with any Legal Requirements, (ix) any and all third-party claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against an Indemnified Party by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants, or agreements contained in any Lease or other agreement relating to the Property, and (x) all Recourse Liabilities; provided however that Borrower shall not have any obligation to an Indemnified Party hereunder to the extent that the applicable indemnified liabilities arise from the gross negligence or illegal acts or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable Legal Requirements to the payment and satisfaction of all such indemnified liabilities incurred by an Indemnified Party.

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 60

(c)Upon written request by any Indemnified Party, Xxxxxxxx shall defend such Indemnified Party (if requested by any Indemnified Party, in the name of the Indemnified Party) by attorneys and other professionals reasonably approved by the Indemnified Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the defendants in any such claim or proceeding include both Borrower and any Indemnified Party and Borrower and such Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Parties that are different from or in addition to those available to Borrower, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party, provided that no compromise or settlement shall be entered without Xxxxxxxx’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon demand, Xxxxxxxx shall pay or, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Indemnified Parties, reimburse, the Indemnified Parties for the payment of reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, engineers, environmental consultants, laboratories and other professionals in connection therewith.

(d)The indemnifications made pursuant to this Section 5.1.15 shall continue indefinitely in full force and effect and shall survive and shall in no way be impaired by any of the following: (i) any satisfaction, release or other termination of this Agreement, the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document, (ii) any assignment or other transfer of all or any portion of this Agreement, the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document or Administrative Agent’s or Lender’s interest in the Property (but, in such case, such indemnifications shall benefit both the Indemnified Parties and any such assignee or transferee), (iii) any exercise of Administrative Agent’s or Lender’s rights and remedies pursuant hereto, under the Security Instrument or under any other Loan Document, including, but not limited to, foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, (iv) any exercise of any rights and remedies pursuant to this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, (v) any transfer of all or any portion of the Property (whether by Borrower or by Administrative Agent or Lender following foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or at any other time), (vi) any amendment to this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or any other Loan Documents, and/or (vii) any act or omission that might otherwise be construed as a release or discharge of Borrower from the Obligations or any portion thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will Borrower’s indemnity under this Section 5.1.15 extend to events or occurrences Borrower proves in a nonappealable court of competent jurisdiction (or in an appealable court of competent jurisdiction if Administrative Agent irrevocably waives its right to an appeal thereof) first occurred after the date such Indemnified Parties took title to the Property, through a foreclosure, Administrative Agent’s or Lender’s acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, so long as such Loss does not result from (i) any act or circumstance occurring prior to the date such Indemnified Parties took title to the Property through a foreclosure, Administrative Agent’s or Lender’s acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise (as applicable), or (ii) any act of Borrower or any of its agents, Affiliates or employees.

V.1.16.Post-Closing Obligations. Attached hereto as Schedule VIII is a list of specific requirements which must be satisfied by Borrower within the time period set forth opposite the description of such requirement. If said requirements are not satisfied within said time periods,

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 61

the same shall constitute, at Administrative Agent’s option, an Event of Default. Xxxxxxxx acknowledges and agrees that the Loan Documents are being executed at this time and the Loan is being disbursed without said requirements being satisfied on the express condition that such requirements be satisfied within the applicable time periods, and that the execution of the Loan Documents and funding of the Loan shall not constitute any waiver by Administrative Agent that such requirements have been met. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any obligation for which Borrower is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the same pursuant to Schedule VIII the mere failure to timely obtain the applicable post-closing item shall not result in an Event of Default so long as Borrower uses commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the same.

V.1.17.Sanctions: Anti-Money Laundering: Anti-Corruption. The Restricted Parties, their respective Affiliates, and to Borrower’s knowledge, their agents and other Persons holding any direct or indirect ownership or beneficial interest in Borrower, shall comply with Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Laws and Anti-Corruption Laws and maintain in effect policies and procedures designed to promote and achieve compliance with applicable Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Laws and Anti-Corruption Laws.

V.1.18.Hotel Matters.

(a)Franchise Agreements.

(i)Borrower shalt: (A) perform and/or observe, in all material respects, all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed by it under the Franchise Agreements and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder at the time set forth therein, including any applicable cure periods; (B) promptly notify Administrative Agent of any material default under the Franchise Agreements of which it is aware; (C) promptly deliver to Administrative Agent a copy of each material financial statement, business plan, capital expenditures plan, notice, report and estimate received by it under the Franchise Agreements, including, without limitation, any notice that Borrower is required to undertake any capital improvements or replace any FF&E; and (D) enforce the performance and observance of all of the material covenants and agreements required to be performed and/or observed by Manager under the Franchise Agreements, in a commercially reasonable manner. In the event that any Franchise Agreement expires or is terminated (without limiting any obligation of Borrower, if any, to obtain Administrative Agent’s consent to any termination prior to the expiration of the applicable term or modification of the Franchise Agreements in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement), Borrower shall promptly enter into a Replacement Franchise Agreement with Franchisor or another Qualified Franchisor, as applicable.

(ii)If Borrower shall be in default under any Franchise Agreement or any Replacement Franchise Agreement entered into by Borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof which could reasonably be expected to allow Franchisor to terminate the Franchise Agreement (without regard as to whether any applicable notice or cure periods have expired thereunder), then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations under the

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 62

Loan Documents, but subject to the terms of any comfort letter, tri-party agreement or similar agreement then in effect and to which Administrative Agent is a party, Administrative Agent shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Franchise Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed. Administrative Agent and any Person designated by Administrative Agent shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the Property at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action. If the Franchisor shall deliver to Administrative Agent a copy of any notice sent to Borrower concerning a default under a Franchise Agreement, such notice shall constitute full protection to Administrative Agent and its designees for any action taken or omitted to be taken thereby in good faith, in reliance thereon. Any sums expended by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 5.1.18 shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such cost is incurred to the date of payment to Administrative Agent, shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by the lien of the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Administrative Agent therefor.

(iii)Borrower shall promptly upon written request of Administrative Agent (but not more than once in any twelve (12) month period, unless an Event of Default exists, in which case the foregoing limitation shall not apply), use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an estoppel certificate from each Franchisor stating that (A) the applicable Franchise Agreement is in full force and effect and has not been modified, amended or assigned, (B) neither the Franchisor thereunder nor Borrower is in default under any of the terms, covenants or provisions of the Franchise Agreement and such Franchisor knows of no event which, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an event of default under the Franchise Agreement, (C) neither such Franchisor nor Borrower has commenced any action or given or received any notice for the purpose of terminating the Franchise Agreement, and (D) all sums due and payable to such Franchisor under the Franchise Agreement, have been paid in full.

(iv)Subject to the terms of any applicable comfort letter, tri-party agreement or similar agreement then in effect to which Administrative Agent is a party, if (A) Franchisor shall become the subject of a Bankruptcy Action, or (B) a default occurs under the Franchise Agreement on the part of the Franchisor, after the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period Borrower shall, at the request of Administrative Agent, but subject to the limitations and restrictions of any Bankruptcy Action and the rights of any Franchisor under any Franchise Agreement to arbitrate or mediate a default, terminate the Franchise Agreement and replace the Franchisor with a Qualified Franchisor pursuant to a Replacement Franchise Agreement reasonably approved by Administrative Agent.

(b)Cooperation with Regard to Liquor Licenses. To the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, Borrower shall (and, if applicable, shall cause Manager and/or any applicable Affiliates to) execute and deliver to Administrative Agent such additional documents, instruments, certificates, assignments and other writings, and otherwise provide (and cause Manager and/or any applicable Affiliate to provide) such cooperation, in each case as may be necessary to transfer any liquor Licenses with respect to the Property into, or obtain the issuance of new liquor Licenses in, the name of Administrative Agent or its designee during the

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 63

continuance of an Event of Default. Such cooperation shall include, without limitation, completing transfer requests, surrendering or cancelling any existing liquor Licenses, and making representatives of Borrower, Manager, and their Affiliates available for meetings with any applicable Governmental Authority in connection with the transfer or issuance of such liquor Licenses, subject in all instances to applicable Legal Requirements. Furthermore, neither Borrower nor any of its Affiliates shall intentionally hinder or interfere with the liquor License transfers or issuances made or contemplated by this Agreement, or with efforts of Administrative Agent or its successors and assigns to obtain temporary or permanent liquor Licenses. Effective during the existence of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute all such documents and instruments as Administrative Agent shall require or deem advisable in order to cause the transfer or issuance of such liquor Licenses as Administrative Agent may require and to cause a cancellation of such existing liquor Licenses as Administrative Agent may require. The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. In addition to all other remedies which Administrative Agent may have at law or in equity for the enforcement of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Borrower expressly agrees that Administrative Agent shall have the right to bring an action in specific performance to enforce each and every term and provision of this Section 5.1.18.

V.1.19.Operating Leases.

Each Borrower shall:

(a)promptly perform and/or observe all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed by it under the Operating Leases and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its rights thereunder;

(b)promptly notify Administrative Agent of any event of default under any Operating Lease;

(c)enforce the performance and observance of all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and/or observed by the other party under the Operating Leases at the times set forth in such Operating Lease, including any relevant cure periods; and

(d)maintain each Operating Lease in full force and effect during the term of the Loan

V.1.20.Required Pay Down. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower shall be required to prepay a principal portion of the Loan, in an amount equal to $1,500,000 on each of the Payment Dates in March, 2020, March, 2021, and, if Borrower has extended the Scheduled Maturity Date, on the Payment Date in March, 2022.

Section V.2.Negative Covenants. From the date hereof and until payment and performance in full of all Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Administrative Agent that it shalt not do, directly or indirectly, any of the following:

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 64

V.2.1.Management Agreement. Borrower shall not, without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent: (a) surrender, terminate or cancel the Management Agreement; (b) reduce or consent to the reduction of the term of the Management Agreement; (c) increase the amount of any base management fees payable to Manager under the Management Agreement in excess of three percent (3%) of Revenues per annum or otherwise agree to pay any incentive fees (or similar compensation) to Manager in excess of amounts set forth in the Management Agreement as of the Closing Date or otherwise approved by Administrative Agent in writing; or (d) otherwise modify, change, supplement, alter or amend, or waive or release any of its material rights and remedies under, the Management Agreement in any material respect. Borrower shall not permit Manager to assign or subcontract Manager’s rights, duties or responsibilities under the Management Agreement to any other Person without the express written consent of Administrative Agent.

(e)In addition to all remedies conferred it by law and by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may pursue any one or more of the following remedies concurrently or successively, it being the intent hereof that none of such remedies shall be to the exclusion of any other, and with full rights to reimbursement from Borrower and any Guarantor: (i) take possession of the Property and complete any construction work at the Property, including the right to avail itself of and procure performance of existing contracts or let any contracts with the same contractors or others and to employ watchmen to protect the Property from injury (and without restricting the generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid to be exercised during the existence and continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby appoints and constitutes Administrative Agent its lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete any construction work at the Property in the name of Borrower); (ii) use amounts in the Reserve Accounts to complete any construction work at the Property; (iii) make changes to the plans and specifications which shall be necessary or desirable to complete any construction work at the Property in substantially the manner contemplated by such plans and specifications; (iv) retain or employ new general contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers and inspectors as shall be required for said purposes; to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which may be liens or security interests, or to avoid such bills and claims becoming liens against the Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of any construction work at the Property or for the clearance of title to the Property; (v) execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with any construction work at the Property; and (vii) take any action and require such performance as it deems necessary to be furnished hereunder and to make settlements and compromises with the surety or sureties thereunder, and in connection therewith, to execute instruments of release and satisfaction.

(h)During the existence of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents in such manner and to such extent as Administrative Agent may deem necessary (which, for the avoidance of doubt shall include curing any default under or breach of the Management Agreement or Franchise Agreement,

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 77

regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default exists hereunder).

(b)Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party under this Section 7.3 of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 7.3 notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against any Indemnified Party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such Indemnified Party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such Indemnified Party under this Section 7.3, such indemnifying party shall pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 87

include both the Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party at the cost of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another Indemnified Party.

(c)In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in this Section 7.3 is for any reason held to be unenforceable as to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under this Section 7.3 the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses (or action in respect thereof); provided however that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) the relative knowledge of Borrower and the applicable issuer(s) of the Securities in connection with the Securitization, and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Administrative Agent and Xxxxxxxx hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.

(d)The liabilities and obligations of Borrower, Lender and Administrative Agent under this Section 7.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

Section VII.4.Rating Agency Confirmations. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that if the Loan is part of a Securitization, Administrative Agent may be required to obtain confirmation from one or more Rating Agencies that the granting of certain consents, approvals, or waivers (and certain other actions of Administrative Agent) will not cause a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of any ratings of the Securities or any class thereof, and that any such consent or approval by Administrative Agent may be conditioned upon receipt of such confirmation and the satisfaction of any conditions precedent thereto required by such Rating Agencies (and any use of the phrase “approval of Administrative Agent” (or similar) shall be deemed to mean and include receipt of such confirmation by Administrative Agent from such Rating Agencies). The circumstances under which this might arise include, but are not limited to, request to approve the replacement of a property manager, and requests for approvals of Transfers. Borrower shall be responsible for any and all reasonable fees and costs incurred in order to obtain any such Rating Agency confirmation, subject to Section 7.2(d) hereof (and Administrative Agent shall be

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 88

entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation).

Article VIII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section VIII.1.Survival. This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as all or any of the Obligations are outstanding and unpaid unless a longer period is expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the legal representatives, successors and assigns of such party. All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf of Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of Administrative Agent and Xxxxxx.

Section VIII.2.Administrative Agent Matters

(a)Appointment: Resignation. Each Lender irrevocably appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to act on its behalf as Administrative Agent hereunder to take such action as Administrative Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith (i) with the consent or at the request of Lenders, or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Administrative Agent xxx resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx. Upon any such resignation, Xxxxxxx shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by Xxxxxxx, or no successor Administrative Agent shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the resigning Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, then the resigning Administrative Agent may, on behalf of Xxxxxxx, appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder first accruing or arising after the effective date of such retirement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent. Xxxxxxxx acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section 8.2(a) are intended to govern the relationship among Lenders and Administrative Agent and may be modified or amended without Xxxxxxxx’s consent, written or otherwise, provided such modification or amendment does not increase Borrower’s obligations hereunder. At the option of Administrative Agent, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the “Servicer”) selected by Administrative Agent and

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 89

Administrative Agent may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement between Administrative Agent and Servicer. Borrower shall be responsible for any set-up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under such servicing agreement, as well as for the payment of any “special servicing”, “workout”, and “liquidation” fees incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with any default or workout of the Loan; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be responsible for payment of the non-special servicing monthly servicing fee due to the Servicer under such servicing agreement.

(b)Administrative Agent’s Discretion. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement, Administrative Agent exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or to make any election, waiver, or request, or to make any determination, or find that any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Administrative Agent, the decision of Administrative Agent to approve or disapprove, or to make such election, waiver, request, or determination, decision, or finding shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole and absolute discretion of Administrative Agent and shall be final and conclusive. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement Administrative Agent exercises any right given to it to “reasonably” approve or disapprove, or to make any election, waiver, or request, or to make any determination “reasonably”, or find that any arrangement or term is to be “reasonably” satisfactory to Administrative Agent, during the continuance of an Event of Default, the decision of Administrative Agent to approve or disapprove, or to make such election, waiver, request, or determination, decision, or finding shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of Administrative Agent and shall be final and conclusive and the use of the word “reasonably” (or terms of similar meaning) shall have no force or effect.

(c)Right to Request and Act on Instructions: Liability of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may at any time request instructions from Lender with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents Administrative Agent is permitted or desires to take or to grant, and if such instructions are requested, Administrative Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such written instructions from Lender. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement or any borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of Borrower; or (iii) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith. Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a Lender wire, electronic transmission, portable document format or other similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given by Xxxxxxx, and such instructions of the Lenders and any action taken or not taken pursuant thereto shall be binding on all Lenders.

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 90

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities to Lender, except those expressly set forth herein or therein, or any fiduciary relationship with Xxxxxx, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into the Loan Documents or otherwise exist against Administrative Agent and in favor of Lender. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation whatsoever to incur any costs or make any protective advances with respect to the Loan, the Property or any other collateral for the Loan.

(d)Conflicts. As between Administrative Agent and Lender, in the event of any conflict, ambiguity or inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any co-lender agreement entered into by Lender and Administrative Agent, the terms and conditions of such co-lender agreement shall control.

Section VIII.4.Modification, Waiver in Writing. No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or of the Note, or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, neither Lender nor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

Section VIII.8.Headings. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

Section VIII.9.Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Legal Requirements, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Legal Requirements, 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.

Section VIII.10.Preferences. Administrative Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the Debt. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are 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, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Administrative Agent.

Section VIII.11.Waiver of Notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives, and shall not be entitled to, any notices of any nature whatsoever from Administrative Agent or Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Administrative Agent to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Administrative Agent or Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Administrative Agent to Borrower.

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 95

Section VIII.12.Remedies of Borrower. If a claim or adjudication is made that Administrative Agent, Lender or their agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Xxxxxxxx agrees that neither Administrative Agent, Xxxxxx nor their agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Administrative Agent or Xxxxxx has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.

Section VIII.13.Schedules 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 VIII.14.Offsets. Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Administrative Agent’s or a Lender’s interest in and to the Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert (and agrees not to assert) a counterclaim of any nature, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Administrative Agent or its agents or otherwise to offset any Obligations. No failure by Administrative Agent or a Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments that Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower does not waive any of its rights to assert any claim which would constitute a defense, setoff, counterclaim or crossclaim of any nature whatsoever against Administrative Agent or a Lender, in either case, in any separate action or proceeding.

Section VIII.15.No Joint Venture or Partnership: No Third Party Beneficiaries. Xxxxxxxx, Administrative Agent and Xxxxxx intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of debtor and creditor. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Xxxxxxxx, Administrative Agent and Lender, nor to grant Administrative Agent or Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender (as applicable). This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent, Xxxxxx and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Administrative Agent and Borrower 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 Xxxxxx and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Xxxxxx will refuse to make the Loan (or that Administrative Agent will

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 96

refuse to make any disbursement of amounts from the Reserve Accounts) 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 Administrative Agent or Lender (as applicable) if, in Administrative Agent’s or Lender’s (as applicable) sole discretion, Administrative Agent or Lender (as applicable) deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

Section VIII.16.Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, Administrative Agent, or to any of its Affiliates shall be subject to the prior approval of Administrative Agent.

Section VIII.17.Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the Security Instrument, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Administrative Agent to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

Section VIII.18.Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party that drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely safely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or Administrative Agent, or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender or Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by Xxxxxx, it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender or Administrative Agent of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Administrative Agent’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Xxxxxxxx acknowledges that Administrative Agent and Xxxxxx engage in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments that may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 97

Section VIII.19.Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Administrative Agent and Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted directly or indirectly, by or on behalf of Guarantor, Borrower or any Affiliate thereof or was retained directly or indirectly, by or on behalf of Guarantor, Borrower or any Affiliate thereof in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 8.19 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.

Section VIII.20.Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the panics hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties or their Affiliates or representatives concerning the transactions contemplated hereby, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section VIII.21.Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of each provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section VIII.22.Certain Additional Rights of Administrative Agent (VCOC). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall have: (a) the right to routinely consult with and advise Borrower’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower; provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances. Upon Administrative Agent’s election and notice to Borrower, consultation meetings may occur quarterly, with Administrative Agent having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice; (b) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and records of Borrower at any reasonable times upon reasonable notice; (c) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 5.1.6 hereof, to receive monthly, quarterly and year-end financial reports, including balance sheets, statements of income, shareholder’s equity and cash flow, a management report and schedules of outstanding Indebtedness; and (d) the right, without restricting any other rights of Administrative Agent under this Agreement (including any similar right), to approve any acquisition by Borrower of any other significant property (other than personal property required for the day to day operation of the Property). The rights described above in this Section 8.22 may be exercised by Lender or any entity which owns and Controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender or Administrative Agent.

Section VIII.23.Duplicate Originals. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals and each duplicate original shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute a single agreement. The failure of any party hereto to execute this Agreement, or any counterpart hereof, shall relieve the other signatories from their obligations hereunder.

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 98

Section VIII.24.Prepayment Charges. Borrower acknowledges that (a) Lender is making the Loan in consideration of the receipt by Xxxxxx of all interest and other benefits intended to be conferred by the Loan Documents that is not prepayable except as provided in Sections 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 and (b) if payments of principal are made to a Lender prior to the regularly scheduled due date for such payment, for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary, as a result of Administrative Agent’s acceleration of the Loan during the existence of an Event of Default, by operation of law or otherwise, Lender will not receive all such interest and other benefits and may, in addition, incur costs and expenses. For these reasons, and to induce Lender to make the Loan, Borrower expressly waives any right or privilege to prepay the Loan except as otherwise may be specifically permitted herein and agrees that, except for any prepayment that is expressly permitted to be made pursuant to this Agreement without the payment of the Prepayment Premium, all prepayments, if any, whether voluntary or involuntary, will be accompanied by the Prepayment Premium, which shall constitute additional interest. Such Prepayment Premium shall be required whether payment is made by Borrower, by a Person on behalf of Borrower, or by the purchaser at any foreclosure sale, and may be included in any bid by Lender at such sale. Borrower further acknowledges that (i) it is a knowledgeable real estate developer or investor, (ii) it fully understands the effect of the provisions of this Section 8.24, as well as the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. (iii) the making of the Loan by Xxxxxx at the Interest Rate and other terms set forth in the Loan Documents are sufficient consideration for Borrower’s obligation to pay the Prepayment Premium, and (iv) Lender would not make the Loan on the terms set forth herein without the inclusion of such provisions. Xxxxxxxx also acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement limiting the right of prepayment and providing for the payment of the Prepayment Premium and other charges specified herein were independently negotiated and bargained for and constitute a specific material part of the consideration given by Borrower to Lender for the making of the Loan except as expressly permitted hereunder.

Section VIII.25.Registrar. Borrower (or its duly authorized agent; Borrower hereby appointing Administrative Agent as its agent for such purpose) (the “Registrar”) shall maintain or cause to be maintained a registry of the ownership of the Note(s) at its principal office. The Registrar shall act solely as an agent of Borrower and shall maintain, subject to such reasonable regulations as it shall provide, such books and records (the “Register”) as are necessary for the registration and transfer of the Note in a manner that shall cause the Note(s) to be considered to be in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(1), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (and any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or such regulations). In connection with the foregoing: (i) the Register shall reflect the applicable Lender as the original owner of the Note(s), (ii) the Register shall reflect such subsequent transferees as the Registrar shall receive notice of, by delivery to it of a notice of an assignment of such Note, duly executed by the then current owner thereof, (iii) the Registrar shall record the name and address of Lender and the amount of principal (and stated interest) owing to Lender under this Agreement, (iv) Borrower and Administrative Agent shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as Xxxxxx hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Failure to make any such recordation. or any error in such recordation, shall not affect Xxxxxxxx’s or Lender’s obligations in respect of such Loan. Any Lender that sells a participation under Section 7.1 shall, acting

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 99

solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, maintain or cause to be maintained a registry including the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered Form under Section 51103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect Xxxxxxxx’s or any Lender’s obligations in respect of such Loan. Administrative Agent shall treat the person in whose name any participation is registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes.

Section VIII.26.Multiple Property Provisions.

(a)Additional Waivers. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Security Instruments, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Loan without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Administrative Agent to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns. waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all or the Security Instruments, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of any portion of the Property or require Administrative Agent to exhaust its remedies against any Individual Property or any combination of the Individual Properties before proceeding against any other Individual Property or combination of Individual Properties; and further in the event of such foreclosure Borrower does hereby expressly consent to and authorize, at the option of Administrative Agent, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Individual Properties.

(b)Cross-Collateralization. Xxxxxxxx acknowledges that Xxxxxx has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of its collective interest in the Property and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Property taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each Individual Property taken separately. Borrower agrees that the Security Instruments are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Security Instruments shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Security Instruments which secure the Note; (ii) an Event of Default under the Note or this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under each Security Instrument; (iii) each Security Instrument shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 100

on all of the Individual Properties as security for the Obligations; and (iv) such cross-collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance.

(c)Portfolio Loan. Xxxxxxxx agrees that at any time Administrative Agent shall have the unilateral right to elect to remove the cross-collateralization of the liens of the Security Instrument encumbering any one (1) or more of the Individual Properties (individually or collectively, as the context may require, the “Affected Property”). In furtherance thereof, Administrative Agent shall have the right to (i) sever or divide the Note and the other Loan Documents in order to allocate to such Affected Property the Allocated Loan Amount evidenced by one (1) or more new notes and secured by such other loan documents (individually or collectively, as the context may require, the “New Note”) having a principal amount equal to the Allocated Loan Amount applicable to such Affected Property, (ii) segregate the applicable portion of each of the Reserve Accounts relating to the Affected Property, (iii) release any cross-default and/or cross-collateralization provisions applicable to such Affected Property, and (iv) take such additional action consistent therewith; provided, that such New Note secured by such Affected Property, together with the Loan Documents secured by the remaining Individual Properties, shall not increase in the aggregate (A) any monetary obligation of Borrower under the Loan Documents or (B) any other obligation of Borrower under the Loan Documents in any material respect. In connection with the transfer of any such Affected Property as provided for in this Section, the Loan shall be reduced by an amount equal to amount of the New Note applicable to such Affected Property and the new loan secured by such Affected Property and evidenced by the New Note shall be in an amount equal to such Allocated Loan Amount. Subsequent to the release of the Affected Property from the lien of the Loan pursuant to this Section, the balances of the components of the Loan shall be the same as they would have been had a prepayment occurred in an amount equal to the Allocated Loan Amount of the Affected Property.

Section VIII.27.Multiple Borrower Provisions.

(a)References. All references to “Borrower” in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to one or more Borrowers (each, an “Individual Borrower”) as the context requires_ It is the intent of the parties hereto in making any determination under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, in determining whether (a) a breach of a representation, warranty or a covenant has occurred, (b) there has occurred an Event of Default, and (c) an event has occurred which would create recourse obligations under Article VI hereof) that any breach, occurrence or event with respect to any Individual Borrower shall be deemed to be a breach, occurrence or event with respect to all Individual Borrowers, and that all Individual Borrowers need not have been involved with or be the subject of such breach, occurrence or event in order for the same to be deemed such a breach, occurrence or event with respect to every Individual Borrower and the Loan.

(b)Joint and Several Liability. Each Individual Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable for payment of the Debt and performance of all other obligations of all Borrowers (or any of them) under this Agreement and any other Loan Document, and the making

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 101

of each of the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations under the Loan Document by Borrower.

(c)Contribution. Each Individual Borrower will benefit, directly and indirectly, from each Individual Borrower’s obligation to pay the Debt and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents. In consideration therefor, Individual Borrowers desire to enter into an allocation and contribution agreement among themselves as set forth in this Section 8.27 to allocate such benefits among themselves and to provide a fair and equitable agreement to make contributions among each of the Individual Borrowers in the event any payment is made by any Individual Borrower hereunder to Administrative Agent (any such payment a “Contribution”). In order to provide for a fair and equitable contribution among Individual Borrowers in the event that any Contribution is made by an Individual Borrower (a “Funding Borrower”) such Funding Borrower shall be entitled to a reimbursement Contribution (“Reimbursement Contribution”) from all other Individual Borrowers for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by such Funding Borrower in discharging any of the Debt, in the manner and to the extent set forth in this Section 8.27. Each Individual Borrower shall be liable to a Funding Borrower in an amount equal to the greater of (i) (A) the ratio of the Benefit Amount (as defined below) of such Individual Borrower to the total amount of Debt, multiplied by (B) the amount of the Debt paid by such Funding Borrower, and (ii) ninety-five percent (95%) of the excess of (A) the fair saleable value of such Individual Borrower’s interest in the Property and the other collateral for the Loan, over (B) the total liabilities of such Individual Borrower (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities) determined as of the date on which the payment made by a Funding Borrower is deemed made for purposes hereof (giving effect to all payments made by other Funding Borrowers as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such Contributions). For purposes hereof, the “Benefit Amount” of any Individual Borrower as of any date of determination shall be the net value of the benefits to such Individual Borrower and its Affiliates from extensions of credit made by Lender to (1) such Individual Borrower and (2) the other Individual Borrowers hereunder and the other Loan Document. In addition:

(i)If at any time there exists more than one Funding Borrower with respect to any Contribution (in any such case, the “Applicable Contribution”), then Reimbursement Contributions from other Individual Borrowers shall be allocated among such Funding Borrowers in proportion to the total amount of the Contribution made for or on account of the other Individual Borrowers by each such Funding Borrower pursuant to the Applicable Contribution. If at any time any Individual Borrower pays an amount hereunder in excess of the amount calculated pursuant to this Section 8.27 such Individual Borrower shall be deemed to be a Funding Borrower to the extent of such excess and shall be entitled to a Reimbursement Contribution from the other Individual Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of this Section.

(ii)Each Individual Borrower acknowledges that the right to Reimbursement Contribution hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of such Individual Borrower to which such Reimbursement Contribution is owing.

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 102

(iii)No Reimbursement Contribution payments payable by an Individual Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.27 shall be paid until all amounts then due and payable by all of Individual Borrowers to Administrative Agent, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, are paid in full. Nothing contained in this Section 8.27 shall limit or affect the Debt of any Individual Borrower to Administrative Agent or Lender under the Note or any other Loan Documents.

(iv)Any indebtedness of a Borrower now or hereafter owed to any other Borrower (the “Surety”) is hereby subordinated to the Obligations owed to Administrative Agent and Lender under the Loan Documents. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if Administrative Agent so requests, any such indebtedness of a Borrower now or hereafter owed to any Surety shall be collected, enforced and received by such Surety as trustee for Administrative Agent and shall be paid over to Administrative Agent in kind on account of the Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the obligations of such Surety under the other provisions of this Agreement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, should such Surety fail to collect or enforce any such indebtedness of a Borrower now or hereafter owed to such Surety and pay the proceeds thereof to Administrative Agent in accordance with this subsection, Administrative Agent as such Surety’s attorney in fact may do such acts and sign such documents in such Surety’s name as Administrative Agent considers necessary or desirable to effect such collection, enforcement and/or payment. Until the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full, all the rights, privileges, powers and remedies granted to Administrative Agent hereunder shall continue to exist and may be exercised by Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time irrespective of the fact that any of the Obligations may have become barred by any statute of limitations. Each Borrower, in its capacity as Surety, expressly waives the benefit of any and all statutes of limitation, and any and all laws providing for exemption of property from execution or for evaluation and appraisal upon foreclosure, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements.

(v)Each Borrower, in its capacity as a Surety, acknowledges that the obligations undertaken herein involve the payment of obligations of persons or entities other than such Surety and, in full recognition of that fact, consents and agrees (and waives any right to object) that Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents: (A) supplement, modify, amend, extend, renew, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Obligations or any part thereof, including any increase or decrease of the rate(s) of interest thereon; (B) supplement, modify, amend or waive, or enter into or give any agreement, approval or consent with respect to, the Obligations or any part thereof, or any of the Loan Documents to which such Surety is not a party or any additional security or guaranties, or any condition, covenant, default, remedy, right, representation or term thereof or thereunder; (C) accept new or additional instruments, documents or agreements in exchange for or relative to any of the Loan Documents or the Obligations or any part thereof; (D) accept partial payments on the Obligations; (E) receive and hold additional security or guaranties for the Obligations or any part thereof; (F) release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, fail to perfect, subordinate, exchange, substitute,

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 103

transfer and/or enforce any security or guaranties, and apply any security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion may determine; (G) release any party from any personal liability with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof; (H) settle, release on terms satisfactory to Administrative Agent or by operation of applicable Legal Requirements or otherwise liquidate or enforce any Obligations and any security or guaranty therefor in any manner, consent to the transfer of any security and bid and purchase at any sale; and/or (I) consent to the merger, change or any other restructuring or termination of the entity existence of other Borrowers or any other party, and correspondingly restructure the Obligations, and any such merger, change, restructuring or termination shall not affect the liability of any Borrower or the continuing effectiveness hereof, or the enforceability hereof with respect to all or any part of the Obligations.

(vi)In the event, on account of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, including, without limitation, Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code and any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise (collectively, “Bankruptcy Laws’’), now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, any Borrower shall be relieved of or fail to incur any debt, obligation or liability as provided herein or in any other Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party, the other Borrowers shall nevertheless be fully liable therefor. Each Borrower, Xxxxxx and Administrative Agent hereby confirm that it is the intention of all parties hereto that the obligations of each Borrower hereunder, under each Security Instrument, and each other Loan Documents not constitute a fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance for the purposes of any Bankruptcy Laws (a “Fraudulent Conveyance”). To give effect to the foregoing intention of the parties, each of such parties hereby irrevocably agrees that the obligations of each Borrower to Administrative Agent and Lender shall at all times be limited to (but shall not be less than) such maximum amount as will, after giving effect to the maximum amount of such obligations and all other liabilities (whether contingent or otherwise) of such Borrower that are relevant under such Bankruptcy Laws, result in the obligations of such Borrower not constituting a Fraudulent Conveyance as of the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other documents contemplated hereby (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not in any way limit the obligations of any Borrower to Administrative Agent and Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents in effect prior to the Effective Date). The provisions of this clause (vi) are intended solely to preserve the rights of Administrative Agent and Xxxxxx hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any Borrower hereunder to be subject to avoidance as a Fraudulent Conveyance, and no Borrower or any other Person shall have any right or claim under this clause (vi) as against Administrative Agent or Lender that would not otherwise be available to such Person under Bankruptcy Laws.

(vii)Each Borrower warrants and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth herein are made with full knowledge of their significance and consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to any defense or right waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect rights which such Borrower otherwise may have against other Borrowers, Lender, Administrative Agent or others, or against any collateral, and that, under the

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 104

circumstances, the waivers and consents herein given are reasonable and not contrary to public policy or law. Each Borrower acknowledges that it has either consulted with legal counsel regarding the effect of this Agreement and the waivers and consents set forth herein, or has made an informed decision not to do so.

(d)Additional Waivers. Each Individual Borrower waives, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements:

(i)any right to require Administrative Agent to proceed against any other Individual Borrower or any other person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Administrative Agent at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Administrative Agent’s power before proceeding against such Individual Borrower;

(ii)any defense or rights based upon or arising out of: (A) any legal disability or other defense of any other Individual Borrower, any guarantor of any other person or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of any other Individual Borrower or any guarantor from any cause other than full payment of all sums payable under the Note and the other Loan Documents; (B) any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any other Individual Borrower or any principal of any other Individual Borrower or any defect in the formation of any other Individual Borrower or any principal of any other Individual Borrower; (C) any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal; (D) any failure by Administrative Agent and/or Lender to obtain collateral for the Debt or failure by Administrative Agent and/or Lender to perfect a lien on the Property (or any portion thereof); (E) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind; (F) any failure of Administrative Agent and/or Lender to give notice of sale or other disposition of the Property (or any portion thereof) to any other Individual Borrower or to any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any such sale or disposition; (G) any failure of Administrative Agent and/or Lender to comply with applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the sale or other disposition of the Property (or any portion thereof), including any failure of Administrative Agent and/or Lender to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of the Property (or any portion thereof); (H) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, and any defense based upon any election by Administrative Agent and/or Lender, in any bankruptcy proceeding, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(6)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute; (I) any agreement or stipulation entered into by Administrative Agent and/or Lender with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding; (J) any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code; (K) the avoidance of any security interest in favor of Administrative Agent and/or Lender for any reason; (L) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the obligations evidenced by the Note or owing under any of the Loan Documents; (M) such Individual Borrower’s, or any other party’s, resignation of the portion of any obligation secured by the Security Instrument to be satisfied by any payment from any other Individual Borrower or any such party; or (N) an election of remedies by Administrative Agent

LOAN AGREEMENT – Page 105

and/or Lender even though the election of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Loan or any other amounts owing under the Loan Documents, has destroyed such Individual Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any other Individual Borrower; and

(iii)except as may be expressly and specifically permitted herein, any claim or other right which such Individual Borrower might now have or hereafter acquire against any other Individual Borrower or any other person that arises from the existence or performance of any obligations under the Note or the other Loan Documents, including any of the following: (A) any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification; or (B) any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Administrative Agent and/or Lender against any other Individual Borrower or any collateral security therefor, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law.
