II. THE LOAN

Section 2.1 The Loan.

2.1.1 Agreement to Lend and Borrow. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender shall make the Loan to Borrower and Borrower shall accept the Loan from Lender on the Closing Date.

2.1.2 Single Disbursement to Borrower. Borrower shall receive only one borrowing hereunder in respect of the Loan and any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may not be reborrowed.

2.1.3 The Note. The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note and shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Note.

2.1.4 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use proceeds of the Loan to (i) pay costs of acquiring the Property; (ii) pay and discharge any existing loans relating to the Property, (iii) pay all past due Basic Carrying Costs, if any, in respect of the Property, (iv) deposit the Reserve Funds, (v) pay costs and expenses incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan, as approved by Lender, (vi) fund any working capital requirements of the Property, as approved by Lender and (vii) retain the balance, if any, for such uses or distributions to its equity holders as Borrower shall determine.

Section 2.2 Interest Rate.

2.2.1 Initial Interest Rate. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of each Component of the Loan shall accrue from the Closing Date up to but excluding the Maturity Date at the Interest Rate.

2.2.2 Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of the Loan, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.

2.2.3 Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of each Component of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year (that is, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as then applicable, expressed as an annual rate divided by 360) by (c) the outstanding principal balance. The accrual period for calculating interest due on each Monthly Payment Date shall be the Interest Period immediately prior to such Monthly

-22-

Payment Date (if such Monthly Payment Date occurs on the 8^th day of any calendar month), or the end of the Interest Period in which such Monthly Payment Date occurs if such Monthly Payment Date payment is not the 8^th day of the applicable calendar month.

2.2.4 Usury Savings. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal 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 Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, 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 from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

Section 2.3 Loan Payments.

2.3.1 Payment Before Maturity Date. Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest only on the Closing Date for the period from the Closing Date through December 7, 2006. Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest only on the Monthly Payment Date occurring in January, 2007 and on each Monthly Payment Date during the term of the Loan through and including the Monthly Payment Date occurring in December 2011. Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of principal and interest in the amount of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount on the Monthly Payment Date occurring in January, 2012 and on each Monthly Payment Date thereafter to and including the Monthly Payment Date occurring in November, 2016 (the “Amortization Period”). The Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount required hereunder during the Amortization Period is based upon a thirty (30) year amortization schedule. Provided no Event of Default shall exists, each payment shall be applied (i) first, to accrued and unpaid interest on Component A1 and Component A2 on a pro rata, pari passu basis, and (ii) second, the balance to the principal amount of the Components on a pro rata, pari passu basis.

2.3.2 Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest through the end of the interest period in which such Maturity Date occurs, and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

2.3.3 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sum due under the Loan Documents, other than the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date, is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such

-23-

delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

2.3.4 Method and Place of Payment. (a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender 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 Lender’s office, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be the preceding Business Day.

(c) All payments required to be made by Borrower hereunder or under the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without deduction for, any setoff, claim or counterclaim and shall be made irrespective of any defense thereto.

Section 2.4 Prepayments.

2.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments. Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part. On and after the Lockout Expiration Date, Borrower may, at its option, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender (or such shorter period of time as may be permitted by Lender in its sole discretion), prepay the Debt in whole without payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium or any other prepayment premium or fee. Any prepayment received by Lender on a date other than a Monthly Payment Date shall include interest which would have accrued thereon through the end of the Interest Period in which such Monthly Payment Date occurs and such amounts (i.e., principal and interest prepaid by Borrower) shall be held by Lender as collateral security for the Loan in an interest bearing account, with such interest accruing to the benefit of Borrower, and shall be applied by Lender to the Loan on the next Monthly Payment Date. In addition and provided no Event of Default shall have occurred, any prepayment of all or any portion of the principal amount of the Loan shall be applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Components on a pro rata, pari passu basis.

2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments. On each date on which Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Proceeds, and if Lender does not make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for a Restoration, Borrower shall (i) prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Loan in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds, together with interest that would have accrued on such amounts through the next Monthly Payment Date, and (ii) simultaneously prepay the remaining outstanding principal balance of the Loan in excess of such Net Proceeds, together with interest that would have accrued on such amounts through the next Monthly Payment Date. No Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2. Any prepayment received by Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4.2 on a date other than a Monthly Payment Date shall be held by Lender as collateral security for the Loan in an interest bearing account, with such interest accruing to the benefit of Borrower, and shall be applied by Lender on the next Monthly

-24-

Payment Date. The full amount of any prepayment of the Loan pursuant to this Section 2.4.2 shall be applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Components on a pro rata, pari passu basis.

2.4.3 Prepayments After Default. If after an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the principal of the Loan is tendered by Borrower, a purchaser at foreclosure or any other Person, such tender shall be deemed an attempt to circumvent the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 and Borrower, such purchaser at foreclosure or other Person shall pay the Yield Maintenance Premium, in addition to the outstanding principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts payable under the Loan Documents. Any amounts received by Lender while any Event of Default exists may be applied by Lender toward the payment of interest and/or principal of any of the Components and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.

Section 2.5 Defeasance.

2.5.1 Conditions to Defeasance.

Such release shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and that contains standard provisions protecting the rights of the releasing lender. In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation that a prudent lender originating mortgage loans for securitization similar to the Loan would require to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release, together with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such release in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrower shall pay all costs, taxes and expenses associated with the release of the lien of the Mortgage, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees. Except as set forth in this Section 2.5, Section 2.4.1 or Section 2.4.2, no repayment, prepayment or defeasance of all or any portion of the Note shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of the lien of the Mortgage on the Property.

Borrower shall prepay all cost and expenses associated with opening and maintaining the Defeasance Collateral Account. Lender shall not in any way be liable by reason of any insufficiency in the Defeasance Collateral Account.

2.5.3 Successor Borrower.

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. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur Indebtedness and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such Indebtedness and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).

-43-

to exceed the Alteration Threshold, which approval may be granted or withheld in Lender’s sole discretion. If the total unpaid amounts incurred and to be incurred with respect to such alterations to the Improvements shall at any time exceed the Alteration Threshold, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following (the “Alteration Security”): (i) cash, (ii) Letters of Credit, (iii) U.S. Obligations, (iv) other securities acceptable to Lender, provided that Lender shall have received a Rating Agency Confirmation as to the form and issuer of same, or (v) a completion bond, provided that Lender shall have received a Rating Agency Confirmation as to the form and issuer of same. Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts incurred and to be incurred with respect to such alterations to the Improvements (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by Tenants under the Leases) over the Alteration Threshold. Upon Borrower’s request therefor, Lender shall disburse any Alteration Security that is cash to Borrower to pay for work completed and paid for with respect to such alterations subject to the same conditions to the release and disbursement of Required Repair Funds pursuant to section 6.1.2 hereof, provided, however, that Lender shall not have any obligation to disburse any funds to Borrower for such alterations unless and until Lender has determined in its sole discretion that, at the time of any such request from Borrower for such funds, the total unpaid amounts incurred and to be incurred with respect to such alterations to the Improvements is equal to or less than the amount of the Alteration Security then held by Lender.

(c) In order to facilitate Lender’s completion or performing such FF&E Replacement Work pursuant to Section 4.1.16(b) above, Borrower grants Lender the right, and Borrower shall cause Operating Tenant to permit Lender, to enter onto the Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or perform such FF&E Replacement Work and/or employ watchmen to protect the Property from damage.

(a) The Operating Lease is in full force and effect and there is no default, breach or violation existing thereunder by Borrower or Operating Tenant thereunder and no event has occurred that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default, breach or violation by any party thereunder. The terms and provisions of the Operating Lease are subordinate to this Agreement and the Mortgage in all respects. Neither the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, Borrower’s performance thereunder, nor the exercise of any remedies by Lender, will adversely affect Borrower’s rights under the Operating Lease.

(b) Borrower shall (i) cause the hotel located on Property to be operated pursuant to the Operating Lease; (ii) promptly perform and/or observe all of the covenants, agreements and obligations required to be performed and observed by Borrower under the Operating Lease and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder; (iii) promptly notify Lender of any default under the Operating Lease; (iv) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditures plan, notice, report and estimate received by Borrower under the Operating Lease; (v) promptly enforce the performance and observance of all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and/or observed by the Operating Tenant under the Operating Lease;

-49-

Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended or such greater amount as Lender shall require; and (z) earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in the event the Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic activity, provided that the insurance pursuant to clauses (y) and (z) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the comprehensive all risk insurance policy required under this subsection (i).

(ii) commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, such insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a combined limit, excluding umbrella coverage, of not less than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000); (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Lender by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; and (C) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis; (3) independent contractors; (4) blanket contractual liability for all legal contracts; and (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Article 9 of the Mortgage to the extent the same is available;

(iii) business income insurance (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above for a period commencing at the time of loss for such length of time as it takes to repair or replace with the exercise of due diligence and dispatch; (C) containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and Personal Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of twenty-four (24) months from the date that the Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period; and (D) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the projected gross income from the Property for a period from the date of loss to a date (assuming total destruction) which is twenty-four (24) months from the date that the Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed. The amount of such business income insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Property for the succeeding twenty-four (24) month period. All proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;

(iv) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the Property coverage form does not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned

-50-

commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to subsection (i) above, (3) including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;

Notwithstanding the

-51-

foregoing, for so long as the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (“TRIA”) is in effect (including any extensions or if another federal governmental program is in effect which provides substantially similar protections as TRIA), Lender shall accept terrorism insurance which covers against “covered acts” as defined by TRIA (or such other program) as full compliance with this Section 5.1.1(a)(xi) as it relates to the risks that are required to be covered; and

(xii) upon sixty (60) days’ notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.

(b) All insurance provided for in Section 5.1.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or, in the singular, the “Policy”) and, to the extent not specified above, shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to deductibles, loss payees and insureds. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums then due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower or Operating Tenant to Lender.

(c) Any blanket insurance Policy (which may include coverage required under Section 5.1.1(a)(xi)) shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 5.1.1(a).

(d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Section 5.1.1(a) shall be primary coverage and, except for the Policy referenced in Section 5.1.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender and its successors and/or assigns as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood, earthquake and terrorism insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender. Borrower shall not procure or permit any of its constituent entities to procure any other insurance coverage which would be on the same level of payment as the Policies or would adversely impact in any way the ability of Lender or Borrower to collect any proceeds under any of the Policies.

(e) All Policies of insurance provided for in Section 5.1.1(a), except for the Policies referenced in Section 5.1.1(a)(v) and (a)(viii) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

(i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

-52-

(ii) the Policy shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured and, if obtainable by Borrower using commercially reasonable efforts, shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) without such a thirty (30) day notice; and

(iii) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate and all premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

(g) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

5.1.2 Insurance Company. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the state in which the Property is located and having a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P and Fitch and an insurance financial strength rating of “A2” by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇. If a Securitization occurs, (i) the foregoing required insurance company rating by a Rating Agency not rating any Securities shall be disregarded and (ii) if the insurance company complies with the aforesaid S&P required rating (and S&P is rating the Securities) and the other Rating Agencies rating the Securities do not rate the insurance company, such insurance company shall be deemed acceptable with respect to such Rating Agency not rating such insurance company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be permitted to maintain the Policies with insurance companies which do not meet the foregoing requirements (an “Otherwise Rated Insurer”), provided Borrower obtains a “cut-through” endorsement (that is, an endorsement which permits recovery against the provider of such endorsement) with respect to any Otherwise Rated Insurer from an insurance company which meets the claims paying ability ratings required above. Moreover, if Borrower desires to maintain insurance required hereunder from an insurance company which does not meet the claims paying ability ratings set forth herein but the parent of such insurance company, which owns at least fifty-one percent (51%) of such insurance company, maintains such ratings, Borrower may use such insurance companies if approved by the Rating Agencies (such approval may be conditioned on items required by the Rating Agencies including a requirement that the parent guarantee the obligations of such insurance company).

-53-

Section 5.2 Casualty and Condemnation.

5.2.1 Casualty. If the Property shall sustain a Casualty, Borrower shall give prompt notice of such Casualty to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty (a “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with Section 5.3, it being understood, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to restore the Property to the precise condition of the Property prior to such Casualty provided the Property is restored, to the extent practicable, to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In the event of a Casualty where the loss does not exceed Restoration Threshold, Borrower may settle and adjust such claim; provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (b) such adjustment is carried out in a commercially reasonable and timely manner. In the event of a Casualty where the loss exceeds the Restoration Threshold or if an Event of Default then exists, Borrower may settle and adjust such claim only with the consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Lender shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower’s cost, in any such adjustments. Notwithstanding any Casualty, Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement.

5.2.2 Condemnation. Borrower shall give Lender prompt notice of any actual or threatened Condemnation by any Governmental Authority of all or any part of the Property and shall deliver to Lender a copy of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the event of a Condemnation where the amount of the taking does not exceed the Restoration Threshold, Borrower may settle and compromise such Condemnation; provided that the same is effected in a commercially reasonable and timely manner. In the event a Condemnation where the amount of the taking exceeds the Restoration Threshold or if an Event of Default then exists, Borrower may settle and compromise the Condemnation only with the consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Lender shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower’s cost, in any litigation and settlement discussions in respect thereof and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by Lender to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any Condemnation, Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by any Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by any Governmental Authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 5.3.

Section 5.3 Delivery of Net Proceeds.

5.3.1 Minor Casualty or Condemnation. If a Casualty or Condemnation has occurred to the Property and the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Restoration Threshold and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Restoration Threshold, and provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and remain uncured, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower. Promptly after receipt of the Net Proceeds, Borrower shall commence and satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If any Net Proceeds are received by Borrower and may be retained by Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof, such Net Proceeds shall, until completion of the Restoration, be held in trust for Lender and shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower to be used to pay for the cost of Restoration in accordance with the terms hereof.

5.3.2 Major Casualty or Condemnation. (a) If a Casualty or Condemnation has occurred to the Property and the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold or the costs of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration, provided that each of the following conditions are met:

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

(ii) (A) in the event the Net Proceeds are insurance proceeds, less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total floor area of the Improvements at the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (B) in the event the Net Proceeds are an Award, less than ten percent (10%) 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 is the subject of the Condemnation;

(iii) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs; provided however, that Borrower shall have an additional one hundred twenty (120) days to commence the Restoration provided that Borrower is diligently pursuing all conditions required to commence such Restoration (including, without limitation, all permits and licenses) and such delay shall not impair Borrower’s, Operating Tenant’s or Lender’s ability to obtain the business interruption insurance proceeds required under Section 5.1.1(a)(iii) hereof) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;

(iv) the Hotel Management Agreement shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation;

(v) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits and all payments of principal and interest under the Note will be paid during the period required for Restoration from (A) the Net Proceeds, or (B) other funds of Borrower;

(vi) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (A) the date six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (B)

-55-

such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such Condemnation, as applicable or (C) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 5.1.1(a)(iii);

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

(viii) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements; and

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

(b) The Net Proceeds shall be paid directly to Lender and held by Lender in an interest-bearing account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3.2, shall constitute additional security for the Debt. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all requirements set forth in Section 5.3.2(a) have been satisfied, (B) 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 (C) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property arising out of the Restoration which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.

(c) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior reasonable approval of Lender and an independent architect selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). The plans and specifications shall require that the Restoration be completed in a first-class workmanlike manner at least equivalent to the quality and character of the original work in the Improvements (provided, however, that in the case of a partial Condemnation, the Restoration shall be done to the extent reasonably practicable after taking into account the consequences of such partial Condemnation), so that upon completion thereof, the Property shall be at least equal in value and general utility to the Property prior to the damage or destruction; it being understood, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to restore the Property to the precise condition of the Property prior to such Casualty provided the Property is restored, to the extent practicable, to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty. Borrower shall restore all Improvements such that when they are fully restored and/or repaired, such Improvements and their contemplated use fully comply with all applicable material Legal Requirements. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to reasonable approval of Lender and the Casualty Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with recovering, holding

-56-

and advancing the Net Proceeds for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees and disbursements, shall be paid by Borrower.

(d) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements 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 the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, less the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 5.3.2(d), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3.2(d) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

(e) Lender 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 opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 5.3.2 shall constitute additional security for the Debt.

(g) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to

-57-

Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3.2, and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under any of the Loan Documents; provided, however, the amount of such excess returned to Borrower in the case of a Condemnation shall not exceed the amount of Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited by Borrower with the balance being applied to the Debt in the manner provided for in Subsection 5.3.2(h).

(h) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 5.3.2(g) may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt, whether or not then due and payable, in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate.

(i) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Net Proceeds from the Policies required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.1(a)(iii) (the “Business Insurance Proceeds”) (i) shall be controlled by Lender at all times, (ii) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents, (iii) shall not be subject to the provisions of subsection (h) above and (iv) shall be used solely for the payment of the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents and actual operating expenses of the Property (as provided in the immediately following sentence). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender hereby covenants to deliver to Hotel Manager on a monthly basis (to the extent Lender is in actual possession of Business Insurance Proceeds at such time) an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the Business Insurance Proceeds received by Lender relating to such month (and any prior period to which such Business Insurance Proceeds relate) as such Business Insurance Proceeds relate to the Interim Operating Expenses for the period for which the Business Insurance Proceeds have been disbursed and (y) Interim Operating Expenses less Gross Revenue for the Property for the period for which the Business Insurance Proceeds have been disbursed (provided that Lender has received reasonably satisfactory evidence of the amount of such shortfall) (such amount, whether (x) or (y), as applicable, the “Manager BI Proceeds Amount”). In the event that the Business Insurance Proceeds are paid in a lump sum in advance, Lender shall hold such Business Insurance Proceeds in a segregated interest-bearing escrow account, which shall be an Eligible Account pledged to the Lender and Lender shall estimate, in Lender’s reasonable discretion, the number of months required for Borrower to complete the Restoration caused by the Casualty or Condemnation, shall divide the aggregate Business Insurance Proceeds by such number of months, and shall disburse from such bank account each month during the performance of such Restoration such monthly installment of said Business Insurance Proceeds (such amount, the “Anticipated Monthly BI Amount”). Lender shall disburse the Anticipated Monthly BI Amount from such bank account or the Deposit Account, as the case may be, (A) first, upon the request of Hotel Manager, the Manager BI Proceeds Amount and (B) second, into the Deposit Account on each Monthly Payment Date during the Restoration in an amount necessary to pay all amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement (including, without limitation, that which is set forth in Sections 3.3(a) (i) through (v) thereof but specifically excluding the payment of any Incentive Management Fees (as defined in the Management Agreement)), provided, that, in no event shall the amount

-58-

disbursed pursuant to the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B) exceed the Anticipated Monthly BI Amount in the aggregate. If any Business Insurance Proceeds are received by Borrower or Hotel Manager, such Business Insurance Proceeds shall be received in trust for Lender, shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower or Hotel Manager, as the case may be, and shall be applied or paid to Lender in accordance with the terms of this Article V. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such Business Insurance Proceeds.

(The transaction referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall hereinafter be referred to collectively as “Secondary Market Transactions” and the transactions referred to in clause (iii) shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Securitization.” Any certificates, notes or other securities issued in connection with a Securitization are hereinafter referred to as “Securities.”)

(b) If requested by Lender, Borrower shall assist Lender in satisfying the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with any Secondary Market Transactions, including, without limitation, to:

(i) (A) provide updated financial and other information with respect to the Property, the business operated at the Property, Borrower and the Manager, (B) provide updated budgets relating to the Property and (C) provide updated appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews (Phase I’s and, if appropriate, Phase II’s), property condition reports and other due diligence investigations of the Property (the “Updated Information”), together, if customary, with appropriate verification of the Updated Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;

(ii) provide opinions of counsel, which may be relied upon by Lender, the Rating Agencies and their respective counsel, agents and representatives, as to non-consolidation, fraudulent conveyance, and true sale or any other opinion customary in Secondary Market Transactions or required by the Rating Agencies with respect to the Property and Borrower and Affiliates, which counsel and opinions shall be satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies; and

(iii) execute amendments to the Loan Documents and Borrower’s organizational documents reasonably requested by Lender; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan Document if such

-67-

modification or amendment would (A) change the interest rate, the stated maturity or the amortization of principal as set forth herein or in the Note, (B) modify or amend any other material economic term of the Loan or (C) materially increase Borrower’s obligations, or materially decrease Borrower’s rights, under the Loan Documents.

(c) If, at the time one or more Disclosure Documents are being prepared for a Securitization, Lender expects that Borrower alone or Borrower and one or more Affiliates of Borrower collectively, or the Properties alone or the Properties and Related Properties collectively, will be a Significant Obligor, Borrower shall furnish to Lender upon request (i) the selected financial data or, if applicable, Net Operating Income, required under Item 1112(b)(1) of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed ten percent (10%) (but less than twenty percent (20%)) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization or (ii) the financial statements required under Item 1112(b)(2) of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization. Such financial data or financial statements shall be furnished to Lender (A) within ten (10) Business Days after notice from Lender in connection with the preparation of Disclosure Documents for the Securitization, (B) not later than thirty (30) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Borrower and (C) not later than seventy-five (75) days after the end of each fiscal year of Borrower; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to furnish financial data or financial statements pursuant to clauses (B) or (C) of this sentence with respect to any period for which a filing pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with or relating to the Securitization (an “Exchange Act Filing”) is not required. If requested by Lender, Borrower shall furnish to Lender financial data and/or financial statements for any tenant of any of the Properties if, in connection with a Securitization, Lender expects there to be, with respect to such tenant or group of affiliated tenants, a concentration within all of the mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization such that such tenant or group of affiliated tenants would constitute a Significant Obligor.

(d) All financial data and financial statements provided by Borrower hereunder pursuant to Section 9.1(c) and (d) hereof shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, and shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB and other applicable legal requirements. All financial statements referred to in Section 9.1(c) above shall be audited by independent accountants of Borrower acceptable to Lender in accordance with Regulation AB and all other applicable legal requirements, shall be accompanied by the manually executed report of the independent accountants thereon, which report shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB and all other applicable legal requirements, and shall be further accompanied by a manually executed written consent of the independent accountants, in form and substance acceptable to Lender, to the inclusion of such financial statements in any Disclosure Document and any Exchange Act Filing and to the use of the name of such independent accountants and the

-68-

reference to such independent accountants as “experts” in any Disclosure Document and Exchange Act Filing, all of which shall be provided at the same time as the related financial statements are required to be provided. All financial data and financial statements (audited or unaudited) provided by Borrower under Section 9.1(c) shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate which shall state that such financial statements meet the requirements set forth in the first sentence of this Section 9.1(d). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or tin other Loan Documents, Lender shall be responsible for the difference in: (i) the costs incurred by Borrower in complying with the requirements set forth in Sections 9.1(c), 9.1(d), 9.1(e) and 9.1(f) and (ii) the costs incurred by Borrower in otherwise complying with the financial reporting requirements of this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

(e) If requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender, promptly upon request, with any other or additional financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating information, as Lender shall determine to be required pursuant to Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other legal requirements in connection with any Disclosure Document or any Exchange Act Filing or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by Lender.

(f) In the event Lender determines, in connection with a Securitization, that the financial data and financial statements required in order to comply with Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other legal requirements are other than as provided herein, then notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.1(c) and (d), Lender may request, and Borrower shall promptly provide, such other financial statements as Lender determines to be necessary or appropriate for such compliance.

Section 9.2 Securitization Indemnification.

(a) Borrower understands that information provided to Lender by Borrower and its agents, counsel and representatives may be included in disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization, including, without limitation, an offering circular, a prospectus, prospectus supplement, private placement memorandum or other offering document (each, an “Disclosure Document”) and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and may be made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization.

(b) Borrower shall provide in connection with each of (i) a preliminary and a final private placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, an agreement (A) certifying that Borrower has examined such Disclosure Documents specified by Lender and that each such Disclosure Document, as it relates to Borrower, Borrower Affiliates, the Property, Manager and all other aspects of the Loan (the “Relevant Sections”), does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B) indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 9.2, Lender hereunder shall include its officers and directors), the Affiliate of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ that has filed the registration statement, if any, relating to the Securitization (the

-69-

“Registration Statement”), each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each Person that controls the Affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group”), and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and any other placement agent or underwriter with respect to the Securitization, each of their respective directors and each Person who controls ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any other placement agent or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which Lender, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Relevant Sections or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in the Relevant Sections or necessary in order to make the statements in the Relevant Sections, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse Lender, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group and the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent that any such loss claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property; provided, further, however, that with respect to statements made in such Relevant Sections that are based upon information provided by third parties, Borrower will be liable only if Borrower knew that such information was false or omitted to state a material fact known to Borrower and necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have.

(c) In connection with Exchange Act Filings, Borrower shall (i) indemnify Lender, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact in the Relevant Sections of the Disclosure Document or upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Disclosure Document a material fact required to be stated in the Disclosure Document in order to make the statements in the Disclosure Document related to Relevant Sections, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) reimburse Lender, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.

(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9.2 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 9.2, 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

-70-

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 satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 9.2, such indemnified party shall pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action 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 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.

(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 9.2(b) or (c) is for any reason held to be unenforceable as to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.2(b) or (c), the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (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) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and Borrower’s relative knowledge 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. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, including any references to a registration statement contained herein, Borrower shall not have any obligation to act as depositor with respect to the Loan or an issuer or registrant with respect to the Securities issued in any Securitization.

(g) The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clause (vi), (vii) or (viii) above) and at any time thereafter Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower, Operating Tenant and in and to the Property, including, without limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower and the Property, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clause (vi), (vii) or (viii) above, the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 10.2 Remedies.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Property. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such

-74-

delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.

(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Except as may be required in connection with a Securitization pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, (i) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and (ii) the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

(d) Any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.

Section 10.3 Right to Cure Defaults. Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary. Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property for such purposes, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 10.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred into the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and

-75-

security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefore.

Section 10.4 Remedies Cumulative. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

XI. MISCELLANEOUS

Section 11.1 Successors and Assigns. 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 Lender.

Section 11.2 Lender’s Discretion. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion of Lender and shall be final and conclusive. Prior to a Securitization, whenever pursuant to this Agreement the Rating Agencies are given any right to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, based upon Lender’s determination of Rating Agency criteria, shall be substituted therefore. Whenever Lender’s consent, approval or satisfaction is expressly required as in any Loan Document to be reasonable, Lender shall apply the standards of a reasonably prudent institutional lender dealing with a loan secured by property comparable to the Property.

EACH PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER.

Section 11.8 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 11.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,

-79-

but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Section 11.10 Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, 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 Lender.

Section 11.11 Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from 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 Lender 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 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 Lender to Borrower.

Section 11.12 Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where, by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.

Section 11.13 Expenses; Indemnity.

(a) Borrower shall pay or, if Borrower and Operating Tenant fail to pay, reimburse Lender upon receipt of notice from Lender, for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s 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, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (ii) Lender’s ongoing performance of and compliance with all 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; (iii) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Borrower; (iv) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required

-80-

legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred, in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation or otherwise, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any other security given for the Loan; and (vi) 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, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Any costs due and payable to Lender may be paid to Lender pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement.

(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender and its officers, directors, agents, employees (and the successors and assigns of the foregoing) (the “Lender Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Lender Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not the Lender Indemnitees shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Lender Indemnitees in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to the Lender Indemnitees hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of the Lender Indemnitees. 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 law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Lender Indemnitees.

Section 11.14 Schedules Incorporated. The Schedules 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 11.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

-81-

Section 11.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

(a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy in common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.

(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

Section 11.17 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, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mortgage Capital Inc., or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender.

Section 11.18 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, and shall not 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 Lender 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 Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

Section 11.19 Waiver of Offsets/Defenses/Counterclaims. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents or otherwise to offset any obligations to make the payments required by the Loan Documents. No failure by Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments which Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents.

Section 11.20 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

-82-

the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely 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 any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender 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 it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender 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 Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

Section 11.21 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 Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 11.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.

Section 11.22 Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower or Operating Tenant, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower and Operating Tenant only to the extent of Borrower’s and Operating Tenant’s interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, shall not ▇▇▇ for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower or Operating Tenant in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower and/or Operating Tenant as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower and/or Operating Tenant in order to fully realize on any security

-83-

given by Borrower in connection with the Loan or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against such security; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower and Operating Tenant, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation actually incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:

(i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower, Operating Tenant or any guarantor in connection with the Loan;

(ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Borrower;

(iii) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision in the Environmental Indemnity or in the Mortgage concerning environmental laws, hazardous substances and asbestos and any indemnification of Lender with respect thereto in either document;

(iv) the removal or disposal of any portion of the Property after an Event of Default;

(v) the misapplication or conversion by Borrower or Operating Tenant of (A) any insurance proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to the Property, (B) any Awards or other amounts received in connection with the Condemnation of all or a portion of the Property, or (C) any Rents following an Event of Default;

(vi) failure to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges that can create Liens on any portion of the Property;

(vii) any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected with respect to the Property which are not delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure of the Property or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof; and

(viii) Borrower’s indemnification of Lender set forth in Section 9.2 hereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower in the event that: (i) Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any subordinate financing or other voluntary Lien encumbering the Property (for which Lender’s consent is required under the Loan Document); (ii) Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any assignment, transfer, or conveyance, direct or indirect, of the Property or any interest therein, the Borrower, any SPC Party, the Operating Tenant or any interest in Borrower or the Operating Tenant, as applicable, as required by the Mortgage or this

-84-

Agreement; (iii) Borrower files a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (iv) an Affiliate, officer, director, or representative which controls, directly or indirectly, Borrower or Operating Tenant files, or joins in the filing of, an involuntary petition against Borrower or Operating Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against Borrower from any Person; (v) Borrower files an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition from any Person; (vi) Borrower, Operating Tenant or an Affiliate, officer, director, or representative which controls Borrower or Operating Tenant consents to or acquiesces in or joins in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower or Operating Tenant or any portion of the Property; or (vii) Borrower or Operating Tenant makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admits, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due.

Section 11.23 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, including, without limitation, the Commitment Letter dated October 10, 2006 (as amended) between Borrower and Lender, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 11.24 Servicer.

(a) At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer (the “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender 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 (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrower shall be responsible for any reasonable set-up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be responsible for payment of the monthly servicing fee due to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement. Servicer shall, however, be entitled to reimbursement of costs and expenses as and to the same extent (but without duplication) as Lender is entitled thereto under the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) Upon notice thereof from Lender, Servicer shall have the right to exercise all rights of Lender and enforce all obligations of Borrower pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents.

(c) Provided Borrower shall have been given notice of Servicer’s address by Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Servicer duplicate originals of all notices and other instruments which Borrower may or shall be required to deliver to Lender pursuant to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents (and no deliver of such notices or other instruments by Borrower shall be of any force or effect unless delivered to Lender and Servicer as provided above).

-85-

Section 11.25 Joint and Several Liability. If more than one Person has executed this Agreement as “Borrower,” the representations, covenants, warranties and obligations of all such Persons hereunder shall be joint and several.

Section 11.26 Creation of Security Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, the advances owing to it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

Section 11.27 Assignments and Participations.

(a) The Lender may assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Loan Agreement.

(b) Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Loan Agreement; provided, however, that (i) Lender’s obligations under this Loan Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Lender shall remain the holder of any Note for all purposes of this Loan Agreement and (iv) Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender’s rights and obligations under and in respect of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(c) Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 11.27, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, as the case may be, any information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates or to any aspect of the Loan that has been furnished to the Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates.

(d) Subject to Lender and the assignee entering into an assignment and acceptance and to the recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 11.27, upon such assignment the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such assignment, have the rights and obligations of Lender under this Agreement. Any assignment or transfer by Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.27 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (b) of this Section 11.27.

(e) Lender (as agent for Borrower) shall maintain a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lender and any successors, assigns and Prticipants, and the principal amount of the Loan owing to each such Lender and Participant from time to time. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Loan. Provided Lender (as agent for Borrower) maintains such Register and enters assignments by Lender of any obligations hereunder in the manner herein required, the entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the

-86-

absence of manifest error, and Borrower and Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any assignment of any obligation hereunder shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Section 11.28 Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Loan Agreement and by law, the Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
