ARTICLE 2

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 that certain Promissory Note of even date herewith, in the stated principal amount of Eighty Million and No/100 Dollars ($80,000,000.00) executed by Borrower and payable to the order of Lender in evidence of the Loan (as the same may hereafter be amended, supplemented, restated, increased, extended or consolidated from time to time, the “Note”) and shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents.

2.1.4 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use proceeds of the Loan to (i) acquire the Property and/or pay and discharge any existing loans relating to the Property, (ii) pay all past-due Taxes, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges, if any, in respect of the Property, (iii) make initial deposits of the Reserve Funds, (iv) pay costs and expenses incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan, and (v) to the extent any proceeds remain after satisfying clauses (i) through (iv) above, for such lawful purpose as Borrower shall designate.

Section 2.2 Interest Rate.

2.2.1 Interest Rate.

(a) Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall accrue throughout the Term at the Interest Rate.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Loan shall be a LIBOR Loan. In the event that Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank

Eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then Lender shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the next succeeding Interest Determination Date. If such notice is given, the Loan shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, to a Prime Rate Loan. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to convert a LIBOR Loan to a Prime Rate Loan.

(c) If, pursuant to the terms hereof, the Loan has been converted to a Prime Rate Loan and Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Lender shall give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the next succeeding Interest Determination Date. If such notice is given, the Loan shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, to a LIBOR Loan. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan.

(d) If the adoption of any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to maintain a LIBOR Loan as contemplated hereunder, (i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan or to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan shall be canceled forthwith and (ii) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted automatically to a Prime Rate Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, or upon such earlier date as may required by law. Borrower hereby agrees to promptly pay to Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder. Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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 and, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, all other portions of the Debt, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due or such Default shall have occurred without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be paid immediately upon demand, which demand may be made as frequently as Lender shall elect, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law.

2.2.3 Interest Calculation. Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall be calculated by multiplying (A) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (B) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year (that is, the Interest Rate 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 in which such Monthly Payment Date occurs.

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 Outstanding Principal Balance 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 Outstanding Principal Balance at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate 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.

2.2.5 Breakage Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify Lender against any loss or expense which Lender may actually sustain or incur in liquidating or redeploying deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain the Loan or any part thereof as a consequence of (i) any payment or prepayment of the Loan or any portion thereof made on a date other than a Monthly Payment Date and (ii) any default in payment or prepayment of the Principal or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the date thereof or otherwise, and whether by acceleration or otherwise) (collectively, “Breakage Costs”). Lender shall deliver to Borrower a statement for any such sums which it is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.2.5, which statement shall be binding and conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.2.5 are in addition to Borrower’s obligations to pay any Spread Maintenance Premium applicable to a payment or prepayment of the Loan.

Section 2.3 Loan Payments.

2.3.1 Payments. On the date hereof, Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid Outstanding Principal Balance from the date hereof through and including March 14, 2014 (the “Initial Interest Period”). On April 9, 2014 and each Monthly Payment Date thereafter during the Term, Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid Outstanding Principal Balance accruing through the last day of the Interest Period in which such Monthly Payment Date occurs. Borrower shall also pay to Lender all amounts required in respect of Reserve Funds as set forth in Article 6 hereof.

2.3.2 Payments Generally. After the Initial Interest Period, each interest accrual period thereafter (each, an “Interest Period”) shall commence on the fifteenth (15^th) calendar day of a calendar month and end on (and including) the fourteenth (14^th) calendar day of the following calendar month; provided, that in the event that the Lender elects to reset LIBOR as provided in the definition of the term “Interest Determination Date” (i) the Interest Period then in effect shall end on (and include) the calendar day prior to the Securitization Date and (ii) a new Interest Period shall commence on the Securitization Date and shall end on (and include) the next fourteenth (14^th) day of a calendar month to occur. For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating interest accrual periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day. Lender shall have the right from time to time, in its sole discretion, upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to Borrower, to change the Monthly Payment Date to a different calendar day and, if requested by Lender, Borrower shall promptly execute an amendment to this Agreement to evidence such change; provided, however, that if Lender shall have elected to change the Monthly

Payment Date as aforesaid, Lender shall have the option, but not the obligation, to adjust the Interest Period and the Interest Determination Date accordingly. With respect to payments of principal due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at the Interest Rate, through and including the day immediately preceding such Maturity Date. All amounts due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever.

2.3.3 Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the Outstanding Principal Balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

2.3.4 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sum due under the Loan Documents (other than the Outstanding Principal Balance due and payable 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 delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by law.

2.3.5 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 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office or at such other place as Lender shall from time to time designate, 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 immediately 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 Prepayments. Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part prior to the Stated Maturity Date.

2.4.2 Voluntary Prepayments.

Borrower shall have the right, only on a Business Day, to prepay the Outstanding Principal Balance in whole, but not in part (unless such prepayment is a partial prepayment to prevent or cure a Low Debt Yield Period in accordance with this Agreement), upon satisfaction of the following conditions:

(a) Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Prepayment Notice; and

(b) Borrower shall comply with the provisions set forth in Section 2.4.5; provided that if such prepayment is made on or after the Spread Maintenance Date, such prepayment shall be without any prepayment penalties set forth in clause (iv) of Section 2.4.5(a).

2.4.3 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) If Lender is not obligated to make Net Proceeds available to Borrower for Restoration, on the next occurring Monthly Payment Date following the date on which (a) Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, and (b) Lender has determined that such Net Proceeds shall be applied against the Debt, Borrower shall prepay, or authorize Lender to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of, the Debt in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. Except during an Event of Default, such Net Proceeds shall be applied by Lender as follows in the following order of priority: First, to any other amounts (other than principal and interest) then due and payable under the Loan Documents, including any costs and expenses of Lender in connection with such prepayment); Second; accrued and unpaid interest at the Interest Rate; and Third, to principal. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, no Spread Maintenance Premium or any other prepayment premium, penalty or fee shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.3. Any partial principal prepayment under this Section 2.4.3 shall be applied to the last payments of principal due under the Loan.

(b) If (i) Lender applies Net Proceeds against the Debt pursuant to this Section 2.4.3, (ii) the amount of Net Proceeds so applied is greater than or equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Outstanding Principal Balance and (iii) no Event of Default then exists, then Borrower shall have the right to prepay all remaining Debt, with no Spread Maintenance Premium or any other prepayment premium, penalty or fee due in connection therewith, so long as (A) Borrower delivers to Lender a Prepayment Notice no later than thirty (30) days after Lender’s application of Net Proceeds, and (B) Borrower actually repays all remaining Debt no later than ninety (90) days after Lender’s application of Net Proceeds. If such prepayment is not made on a Monthly Payment Date, Borrower shall also pay interest that would have accrued on the principal balance of the Note to, but not including, the next Monthly Payment Date. If Borrower fails to satisfy the conditions in clauses (A) and/or (B) above, then with respect to the subject Casualty or Condemnation, Borrower shall have no further right to prepay the Loan in connection with Lender’s application of such Net Proceeds, except for prepayments elsewhere expressly permitted under this Agreement. If Borrower has notified Lender of its intent to prepay the Debt pursuant to the foregoing, and Borrower does in fact prepay the Debt within said ninety (90) days, then Borrower’s failure to restore the Property during the intervening period between notice of prepayment and prepayment shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default hereunder.

2.4.4 Prepayments After Default. If, during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower and accepted by Lender or is otherwise recovered by Lender (including through application of any Reserve Funds), such tender or recovery shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against

prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 hereof, and Borrower shall pay, as part of the Debt, all of: (i) all accrued interest calculated at the Interest Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through and including the date of such prepayment together with an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued at the Interest Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through the end of the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs, notwithstanding that such Interest Period extends beyond the date of prepayment, (ii) the Interest Shortfall, if applicable, with respect to the amount prepaid;, (iii) Breakage Costs, if any, without duplication of any sums paid pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), (iv) an amount equal to the Spread Maintenance Premium (if made before the Spread Maintenance Date).

(i) all accrued and unpaid interest calculated at the Interest Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through and including the Repayment Date together with an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued at the Interest Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through the end of the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs, notwithstanding that such Interest Period extends beyond the date of prepayment;

(ii) if such prepayment is made during the period from and including the first day after a Monthly Payment Date through and including the last day of the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs, all interest on the principal amount being prepaid which would have accrued from the first day of the Interest Period immediately following the Interest Period in which the prepayment occurs (the “Succeeding Interest Period”) through and including the end of the Succeeding Interest Period, calculated at (A) the Interest Rate if such prepayment occurs on or after the Interest Determination Date for the Succeeding Interest Period or (B) the Assumed Note Rate if such prepayment occurs before the Interest Determination Date for the Succeeding Interest Period (the “Interest Shortfall”); provided, however, if such prepayment is made pursuant to Section 2.4.3 hereof, then such payment shall be retained by Lender to be applied by Lender (in the same manner as repayments under Section 2.4.3 hereof) on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period;

(iii) Breakage Costs, if any, without duplication of any sums paid pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii);

(iv) the Spread Maintenance Premium applicable thereto (if such prepayment occurs prior to the Spread Maintenance Date); and

(v) all other sums, then due under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage, and the other Loan Documents.

(b) If the Interest Shortfall was calculated based upon the Assumed Note Rate, upon determination of LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date for the Succeeding Interest Period, (i) if the Interest Rate for such Succeeding Interest Period is less than the Assumed Note Rate,

Lender shall promptly refund to Borrower the amount of the Interest Shortfall paid, calculated at a rate equal to the difference between the Assumed Note Rate and the Interest Rate for such Interest Period, or (ii) if the Interest Rate is greater than the Assumed Note Rate, Borrower shall promptly (and in no event later than the ninth (9th) day of the following month) pay Lender the amount of such additional Interest Shortfall calculated at a rate equal to the by which Interest Rate exceeds the Assumed Note Rate.

(c) Borrower shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lender incurred in connection with the repayment or prepayment (including without limitation, any costs and expenses associated with a release of the Lien of the Mortgage as set forth in Section 2.5 below and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses).

Section 2.5 Release of Property. Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of the Debt in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, release the Lien of the Mortgage and cause the trustee under the Mortgage to reconvey the Property to Borrower. In connection with the release of the Lien, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Repayment Date (or such shorter time as is acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion), a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for execution by Lender. Such release shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and contain standard provisions protecting the rights of the releasing lender. In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires 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.

Section 2.6 Interest Rate Cap Agreement.

2.6.1 Interest Rate Cap Agreement. Prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing Date, Borrower shall have obtained, and thereafter maintain in effect, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (with a confirmation of such transaction and opinion delivered in the ordinary course of business of such Counterparty; provided that Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such delivery to be made within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date), which shall be have a term expiring no earlier than the last day of the Interest Period in which the Stated Maturity Date occurs and have a notional amount which shall not at any time be less than the Outstanding Principal Balance. The Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall have a strike rate no greater than the Strike Price.

As security for the full and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations when due (whether upon stated maturity, by acceleration, early termination or otherwise), Borrower, as pledgor, hereby pledges, assigns, hypothecates, transfers and delivers to Lender as collateral and hereby grants to Lender a continuing first priority lien on and security interest in, to and under all of the following whether now owned or hereafter acquired and whether now existing or hereafter arising (the “Rate Cap Collateral”): all of the right, title and interest of Borrower in and to (i) the Interest Rate Cap Agreement; (ii) all payments, distributions,

disbursements or proceeds due, owing, payable or required to be delivered to Borrower in respect of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or arising out of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, whether as contractual obligations, damages or otherwise; and (iii) all of Borrower’s claims, rights, powers, privileges, authority, options, security interests, liens and remedies, if any, under or arising out of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, in each case including all accessions and additions to, substitutions for and replacements, products and proceeds of any or all of the foregoing.

2.6.3 Covenants.

(d) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrower or Lender shall be deposited immediately into the Deposit Account pursuant to Section 6.1. Subject to terms hereof, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall be entitled to exercise all rights, powers and privileges of Borrower under, and to control the prosecution of all claims with respect to, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the other Rate Cap Collateral. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Borrower’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty thereunder and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.

(e) Borrower shall defend Lender’s right, title and interest in and to the Rate Cap Collateral pledged by Borrower pursuant hereto or in which it has granted a security interest pursuant hereto against the claims and demands of all other Persons.

(f) In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Counterparty such that it ceases to qualify as an “Approved Counterparty”, unless the Counterparty shall have posted collateral on terms acceptable to each Rating Agency, Borrower shall replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice from Lender, Servicer or any other Person of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification. In the event that the Counterparty is downgraded below BBB+ by S&P or Fitch (or, if such counterparty was an approved counterparty based on its short-term rating by S&P or Fitch, below “A-2” by S&P or “F-2” by Fitch) or below “Baa1” by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇, a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be required regardless of the posting of collateral.

(g) In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Cap Agreement as and when required hereunder, Lender may purchase the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Lender in purchasing the Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such cost is paid by Borrower to Lender.

(h) Borrower shall not sell, assign, or otherwise dispose of, or mortgage, pledge or grant a security interest in, any of the Rate Cap Collateral or any interest therein, and any sale, assignment, mortgage, pledge or security interest whatsoever made in violation of this covenant shall be a nullity and of no force and effect, and upon demand of Lender, shall forthwith be cancelled or satisfied by an appropriate instrument in writing.

(i) Borrower shall not (i) without the prior written consent of Lender, modify, amend or supplement the terms of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (ii) without the prior written

consent of Lender, except in accordance with the terms of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, cause the termination of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement prior to its stated maturity date, (iii) without the prior written consent of Lender, except as aforesaid, waive or release any obligation of the Counterparty (or any successor or substitute party to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement) under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (iv) without the prior written consent of Lender, consent or agree to any act or omission to act on the part of the Counterparty (or any successor or substitute party to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement) which, without such consent or agreement, would constitute a default under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (v) fail to exercise promptly and diligently each and every material right which it may have under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (vi) take or intentionally omit to take any action or intentionally suffer or permit any action to be omitted or taken, the taking or omission of which would result in any right of offset against sums payable under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any defense by the Counterparty (or any successor or substitute party to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement) to payment or (vii) fail to give prompt notice to Lender of any notice of default given by or to Borrower under or with respect to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, together with a complete copy of such notice. If Borrower shall have received written notice that the Securitization shall have occurred, no consent by Lender provided for in this Section 2.6.3 (f) shall be given by Lender unless Lender shall have received a Rating Agency Confirmation.

(j) In connection with an Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender an opinion of counsel from counsel (which counsel may be in-house counsel for the Counterparty) for the Counterparty upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely (the “Counterparty Opinion”), under New York law and, if the Counterparty is a non-U.S. entity, the applicable foreign law, which shall provide in relevant part (unless otherwise expressly acceptable to Lender in Lender’s sole discretion), that: (i) the issuer is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement; (ii) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the issuer, and any other agreement which the issuer has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property; (iii) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the issuer of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the issuer has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and (iv) the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the issuer has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the issuer and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the issuer, enforceable against the issuer in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

2.6.4 Powers of Borrower Prior to an Event of Default. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.6.3(a), provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall be

entitled to exercise all rights, powers and privileges of Borrower under, and to control the prosecution of all claims with respect to, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the other Rate Cap Collateral.

2.6.5 Representations and Warranties. Borrower hereby covenants with, and represents and warrants to, Lender as follows:

(a) The Interest Rate Cap Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(b) The Rate Cap Collateral is free and clear of all claims or security interests of every nature whatsoever, except such as are created pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and Borrower has the right to pledge and grant a security interest in the same as herein provided without the consent of any other Person other than any such consent that has been obtained and is in full force and effect.

(c) The Rate Cap Collateral has been duly and validly pledged hereunder. All consents and approvals required to be obtained by Borrower for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been obtained.

(d) Giving effect to the aforesaid grant and assignment to Lender, Lender has, as of the date of this Agreement, and as to Rate Cap Collateral acquired from time to time after such date, shall have, a valid, and upon proper filing, perfected and continuing first priority lien upon and security interest in the Rate Cap Collateral; provided that no representation or warranty is made with respect to the perfected status of the security interest of Lender in the proceeds of Rate Cap Collateral consisting of “cash proceeds” or “non-cash proceeds” as defined in the UCC except if, and to the extent, the provisions of Section 9-306 of the UCC shall be complied with.

(e) Except for financing statements filed or to be filed in favor of Lender as secured party, there are no financing statements under the UCC covering any or all of the Rate Cap Collateral and Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, until payment in full of all of the Obligations, execute and file in any public office, any enforceable financing statement or statements covering any or all of the Rate Cap Collateral, except financing statements filed or to be filed in favor of Lender as secured party.

2.6.6 Payments. If Borrower at any time shall be entitled to receive any payments with respect to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, such amounts shall, immediately upon becoming payable to Borrower, be deposited by Counterparty into the Deposit Account.

2.6.7 Remedies. Subject to the provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, if an Event of Default shall occur and then be continuing:

(a) Lender, without obligation to resort to any other security, right or remedy granted under any other agreement or instrument, shall have the right to, in addition to all rights, powers and remedies of a secured party pursuant to the UCC, at any time and from time to time, sell, resell, assign and deliver, in its sole discretion, any or all of the Rate Cap Collateral (in one or

more parcels and at the same or different times) and all right, title and interest, claim and demand therein and right of redemption thereof, at public or private sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and in connection therewith Lender may grant options and may impose reasonable conditions such as requiring any purchaser to represent that any “securities” constituting any part of the Rate Cap Collateral are being purchased for investment only, Borrower hereby waiving and releasing any and all equity or right of redemption to the fullest extent permitted by the UCC or applicable law. If all or any of the Rate Cap Collateral is sold by Lender upon credit or for future delivery, Lender shall not be liable for the failure of the purchaser to purchase or pay for the same and, in the event of any such failure, Lender may resell such Rate Cap Collateral. It is expressly agreed that Lender may exercise its rights with respect to less than all of the Rate Cap Collateral, leaving unexercised its rights with respect to the remainder of the Rate Cap Collateral, provided, however, that such partial exercise shall in no way restrict or jeopardize Lender’s right to exercise its rights with respect to all or any other portion of the Rate Cap Collateral at a later time or times.

(b) Lender may exercise, either by itself or by its nominee or designee, in the name of Borrower, all of Lender’s rights, powers and remedies in respect of the Rate Cap Collateral, hereunder and under law.

(c) Borrower hereby irrevocably, in the name of Borrower or otherwise, authorizes and empowers Lender and assigns and transfers unto Lender, and constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, and as its agent, irrevocably, with full power of substitution for Borrower and in the name of Borrower, (i) to exercise and enforce every right, power, remedy, authority, option and privilege of Borrower under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, including any power to subordinate or modify the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (but not, unless an Event of Default exists and is continuing, the right to terminate or cancel the Interest Rate Cap Agreement), or to give any notices, or to take any action resulting in such subordination, termination, cancellation or modification and (ii) in order to more fully vest in Lender the rights and remedies provided for herein, to exercise all of the rights, remedies and powers granted to Lender in this Agreement, and Borrower further authorizes and empowers Lender, as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, and as its agent, irrevocably, with full power of substitution for Borrower and in the name of Borrower, to give any authorization, to furnish any information, to make any demands, to execute any instruments and to take any and all other action on behalf of and in the name of Borrower which in the opinion of Lender may be necessary or appropriate to be given, furnished, made, exercised or taken under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, in order to comply therewith, to perform the conditions thereof or to prevent or remedy any default by Borrower thereunder or to enforce any of the rights of Borrower thereunder. These powers-of-attorney are irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and any similar or dissimilar powers heretofore given by Borrower in respect of the Rate Cap Collateral to any other Person are hereby revoked.

(d) Lender may, without notice to, or assent by, Borrower or any other Person (to the extent permitted by law), but without affecting any of the Obligations, in the name of Borrower or in the name of Lender, notify the Counterparty, or if applicable, any other counterparty to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, to make payment and performance directly to Lender; extend the time of payment and performance of, compromise or settle for cash, credit or otherwise, and upon any terms and conditions, any obligations owing to Borrower, or claims of Borrower, under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement; file any claims, commence, maintain or discontinue any actions, suits or other proceedings deemed by Lender necessary or advisable for the purpose of collecting upon

or enforcing the Interest Rate Cap Agreement; and execute any instrument and do all other things deemed necessary and proper by Lender to protect and preserve and realize upon the Rate Cap Collateral and the other rights contemplated hereby.

(e) Pursuant to the powers-of-attorney provided for above, Lender may take any action and exercise and execute any instrument which it may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof; provided, however, that Lender shall not be permitted to take any action pursuant to said power-of-attorney that would conflict with any limitation on Lender’s rights with respect to the Rate Cap Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks and other orders for the payment of money made payable to Borrower representing: (i) any payment of obligations owed pursuant to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (ii) interest accruing on any of the Rate Cap Collateral or (iii) any other payment or distribution payable in respect of the Rate Cap Collateral or any part thereof, and for and in the name, place and stead of Borrower, to execute endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer in respect of any property which is or may become a part of the Rate Cap Collateral hereunder.

(f) Lender may exercise all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC.

(g) Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement or any of Borrower’s rights hereunder, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any obligation or default hereunder, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform any act or take any appropriate action, as it, in its reasonable judgment, may deem necessary to protect the security of this Agreement, to cure such Event of Default or to cause any term, covenant, condition or obligation required under this Agreement or the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to be performed or observed by Borrower to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Borrower. All amounts advanced by, or on behalf of, Lender in exercising its rights under this Section 2.6.7(g) (including, but not limited to, reasonable legal expenses and disbursements incurred in connection therewith), together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of each such advance, shall be payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand and shall be secured by this Agreement.

2.6.8 Sales of Rate Cap Collateral. No demand, advertisement or notice, all of which are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, hereby expressly waived by Borrower, shall be required in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Rate Cap Collateral, except that Lender shall give Borrower at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time when and the place where any private sale or other disposition is to be made, which notice Borrower hereby agrees is reasonable, all other demands, advertisements and notices being hereby waived. To the extent permitted by law, Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Rate Cap Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale may have been given, and Lender may without notice or publication adjourn any public or private sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. Upon each private sale of the Rate Cap Collateral of a type customarily sold in a recognized market and upon each public sale, unless prohibited by any applicable statute which cannot be waived, Lender (or its nominee or designee) may purchase any or all of the Rate Cap Collateral being sold, free and discharged from any trusts, claims, equity or right of redemption of Borrower, all of which are hereby waived and released to the extent

permitted by law, and may make payment therefor by credit against any of the Obligations in lieu of cash or any other obligations. In the case of all sales of the Rate Cap Collateral, public or private, Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind for sale or delivery, including brokers’ and attorneys’ fees and disbursements and any tax imposed thereon. However, the proceeds of sale of Rate Cap Collateral shall be available to cover such costs and expenses, and, after deducting such costs and expenses from the proceeds of sale, Lender shall apply any residue to the payment of the Obligations in the order of priority as set forth in this Agreement.

2.6.9 Public Sales Not Possible. Borrower acknowledges that the terms of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement may prohibit public sales, that the Rate Cap Collateral may not be of the type appropriately sold at public sales, and that such sales may be prohibited by law. In light of these considerations, Borrower agrees that private sales of the Rate Cap Collateral shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonably manner by mere virtue of having been made privately.

2.6.10 Receipt of Sale Proceeds. Upon any sale of the Rate Cap Collateral by Lender hereunder (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial process or otherwise), the receipt by Lender or the officer making the sale or the proceeds of such sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Rate Cap Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to Lender or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication or non-application thereof.

2.6.11 Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement. If, in connection with Borrower’s exercise of any Extension Option pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof, Borrower delivers a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, all the provisions of this Section 2.6 applicable to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement delivered on the Closing Date shall be applicable to the Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement.

Section 2.7 Extension Options.

2.7.1 Extension Options. Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.7, Borrower shall have the option (the “First Extension Option”), by irrevocable written notice (the “First Extension Notice”) delivered to Lender no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date, to extend the Maturity Date to March 9, 2017 (the “First Extended Maturity Date”). In the event Borrower shall have exercised the First Extension Option, Borrower shall have the option (the “Second Extension Option”), by irrevocable written notice (the “Second Extension Notice”) delivered to Lender no later than thirty (30) days prior to the First Extended Maturity Date, to extend the First Extended Maturity Date to March 9, 2018 (the “Second Extended Maturity Date”). In the event Borrower shall have exercised the Second Extension Option, Borrower shall have the option (the “Third Extension Option”), by irrevocable written notice (the “Third Extension Notice”) delivered to Lender no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Second Extended Maturity Date, to extend the Second Extended Maturity Date to March 9, 2019 (the “Third Extended Maturity Date”). Borrower’s right to so extend the Maturity Date shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent prior to each extension hereunder:

(a) (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date Borrower delivers the First Extension Notice, the Second Extension Notice or the Third Extension Notice, as applicable, and (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Stated Maturity Date, the First Extended Maturity Date and the Second Extended Maturity Date, as applicable;

(b) Borrower shall (i) obtain and deliver to Lender not later than one (1) Business Day prior to the first day of the term of the Loan as extended, one or more Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreements (with confirmations of such transactions delivered in the ordinary course of business of such Counterparty; provided that Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such delivery to be made within five (5) Business Days after the Stated Maturity Date, First Extended Maturity Date or Second Extended Maturity Date, as applicable) from an Approved Counterparty, in a notional amount equal to the Outstanding Principal Balance, which Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement(s) shall (A) effective for the period commencing on the day immediately following the then applicable Maturity Date (prior to giving effect to the applicable Extension Option) and ending on the last day of the Interest Period in which the applicable extended Maturity Date occurs, (B) have a strike rate equal to the Extension Strike Price, and (C) be otherwise on same terms set forth in Section 2.6 and (ii) execute and deliver an Acknowledgement with respect to each such Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement;

(c) Borrower shall deliver a Counterparty Opinion with respect to the Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the related Acknowledgment in the ordinary course of business of such Counterparty; provided that Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such delivery to be made within five (5) Business Days after the Stated Maturity Date, First Extended Maturity Date or Second Extended Maturity Date, as applicable;

(d) All amounts due and payable by Borrower and any other Person pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents as of the Stated Maturity Date, the First Extended Maturity Date or the Second Extended Maturity Date, as applicable, and all outstanding costs and expenses of Lender, including reasonable fees and expenses of Lender’s counsel, in connection with the Loan and/or the applicable extension of the Term shall have been paid in full; and

(e) if a New Mezzanine Loan is then outstanding, such borrower under the New Mezzanine Loan shall have (i) timely exercised the extension option to extend the New Mezzanine Loan, and (ii) been entitled pursuant to the terms of the New Mezzanine Loan Documents to exercise such extension option and (iii) paid any extension fee required pursuant to the terms of the mezzanine note.

If Borrower is unable to satisfy all of the foregoing conditions within the applicable time frames for each, Lender shall have no obligation to extend the Stated Maturity Date hereunder.

2.7.2 Extension Documentation. As soon as practicable following an extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 2.7, Borrower shall, if requested by Lender, execute and deliver an amendment of and/or restatement of the Note and shall, if requested by Lender, enter into such amendments to the related Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence the extension of the Maturity Date as provided in this Section 2.7, in such form as may be reasonably approved by Borrower; provided, however, that no failure by Borrower to enter into any such

amendments and/or restatements shall affect the rights or obligations of Borrower or Lender with respect to the extension of the Maturity Date.

Section 2.8 Spread Maintenance Premium.

2.8.1 Spread Maintenance Premium. Upon any repayment or prepayment of the Loan (including in connection with an acceleration of the Loan) made prior to the Spread Maintenance Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender on the date of such repayment or prepayment (or acceleration of the Loan) the Spread Maintenance Premium applicable thereto. All Spread Maintenance Premium payments hereunder shall be deemed to be earned by Lender upon the funding of the Loan.

Section 2.9 Regulatory Change; Taxes.

2.9.1 Increased Costs. If as a result of any Regulatory Change or compliance of Lender therewith, the basis of taxation of payments to Lender or any company Controlling Lender of the principal of or interest on the Loan is changed or Lender or the company Controlling Lender shall be subject to (i) any tax, duty, charge or withholding of any kind with respect to this Agreement (excluding federal taxation of the overall net income of Lender or the company Controlling Lender); or (ii) any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities, of Lender or any company Controlling Lender is imposed, modified or deemed applicable; or (iii) any other condition affecting loans to borrowers subject to LIBOR-based interest rates is imposed on Lender or any company Controlling Lender and Lender determines that, by reason thereof, the cost to Lender or any company Controlling Lender of making, maintaining or extending the Loan to Borrower is increased, or any amount receivable by Lender or any company Controlling Lender hereunder in respect of any portion of the Loan to Borrower is reduced, in each case by an amount deemed by Lender in good faith to be material (such increases in cost and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Increased Costs”), then Lender shall provide notice thereof to Borrower and Borrower agrees that it will pay to Lender upon Lender’s written request such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or any company Controlling Lender for such Increased Costs to the extent Lender determines that such Increased Costs are allocable to the Loan. If Lender requests compensation under this Section 2.6.1, Lender shall, if requested by notice by Borrower to Lender, furnish to Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof.

2.9.2 Special Taxes. Borrower shall make all payments hereunder free and clear of and without deduction for Special Taxes. If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Special Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.6.2) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

2.9.3 Other Taxes. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or other excise or property taxes, charges, or similar levies which arise from

any payment made hereunder, or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or the Loan (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower, Operating Lessee, any SPC Party or Guarantor including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable, and none of Borrower, Operating Lessee, any SPC Party or Guarantor have asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

3.1.8 No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower and Operating Lessee, as applicable, and the performance of their respective Obligations hereunder and thereunder will not conflict with any provision of any law or regulation to which Borrower or Operating Lessee is subject, or conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any of Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s organizational documents or any agreement or instrument to which Borrower or Operating Lessee is a party or by which it is bound, or any order or decree applicable to Borrower

Section 4.31 ERISA.

(a) Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall engage in any transaction which would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Lender or any assignee of any of its rights under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) or Section 4975 of the Code.

In the event that Borrower or Operating Lessee fails to comply with the Patriot Act or any such requirements of Governmental Authorities, then Lender may, at its option, cause Borrower and Operating Lessee to comply therewith and any and all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable.

(b) Neither Borrower, Operating Lessee nor any owner of a direct or indirect interest in Borrower or Operating Lessee (i) is listed on any Government Lists, (ii) is a person who has been determined by competent authority to be subject to the prohibitions contained in Presidential Executive Order No. 13224 (Sept. 23, 2001) or any other similar prohibitions contained in the rules and regulations of OFAC or in any enabling legislation or other Presidential Executive Orders in respect thereof, (iii) has been previously indicted for or convicted of any felony involving a crime or crimes of moral turpitude or for any Patriot Act Offense, or (iv) is currently under investigation by any Governmental Authority for alleged criminal activity.

App. 1 et seq., and any Executive Orders or regulations promulgated thereunder, with the result that the investment in Borrower, Operating Lessee or Guarantor, as applicable (whether directly or indirectly), would be prohibited by law (each, an “Embargoed Person”), or the Loan made by Lender would be in violation of law, (b) no Embargoed Person shall have any interest of any nature whatsoever in Borrower, Operating Lessee or Guarantor, as applicable, with the result that the investment in Borrower, Operating Lessee or Guarantor, as applicable (whether directly or indirectly), would be prohibited by law or the Loan would be in violation of law, and (c) none of the funds of Borrower, Operating Lessee or Guarantor, as applicable, shall be derived from any unlawful activity with the result that the investment in Borrower, Operating Lessee or Guarantor, as applicable (whether directly or indirectly), would be prohibited by law or the Loan would be in violation of law.

Section 4.33 Operating Lease.

(a) Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall:

Section 5.1 Insurance.

5.1.1 Insurance Policies.

(a) Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained, insurance for Borrower, Operating Lessee and the Property providing at least the following coverages:

(i) comprehensive all risk “special form” insurance including, but not limited to, loss caused by any type of windstorm or hail on the Improvements and the personal property, (A) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the “Full Replacement Cost,” which for purposes of this Agreement shall mean actual replacement value as defined in Section 5.1.2 (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a waiver of depreciation; (B) not containing an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements and personal property and written on a no co-insurance

form; (C) providing for no deductible in excess of $250,000.00 (except for deductibles for windstorm, flood, and earthquake coverage, which deductibles may be up to five percent (5%) of the total insurable value of the Property set forth in the Policy); (D) Borrower may elect to increase the “all risk” deductible to $500,000.00 per occurrence (excluding named storm, earthquake and flood wherein such deductibles may not exceed 5%) provided that Borrower has a stop limit (aggregate cap) in place to prevent the annual aggregate from exceeding $2,500,000.00; and (E) if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses, coverage for loss due to operation of law in an amount equal to the Full Replacement Cost, and coverage for demolition costs and coverage for increased costs of construction in amounts acceptable to Lender. In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (y) if any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a federally designated “special flood hazard area”, flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the maximum amount of such insurance available under the National Flood 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 plus excess amounts of flood insurance as reasonably required by Lender; however, Borrower may elect to purchase said “National Flood Insurance Act” coverage through an alternate insurance program or facility so long as it meets the criteria of the “National Flood Insurance Act” coverage and (z) earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance mutually agreeable to Lender and Borrower 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) business income or rental loss insurance (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above; (C) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the projected Gross Revenues from the operation of the Property (as reduced to reflect expenses not incurred during a period of Restoration) for a period of at least eighteen (18) months after the date of the Casualty; and (D) 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 six (6) 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. The amount of such business income or rental loss 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 Revenues from the Property for the succeeding eighteen (18) month period. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.4.3 hereof, 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 either Borrower or Operating Lessee of its Obligations to pay the Debt secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;

(iii) 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, otherwise known as Owner Contractor’s Protective Liability, covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned 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;

(iv) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if steam boilers or other pressure-fixed vessels are in operation, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under subsection (i) above;

(v) 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 of not less than $2,000,000.00 in the aggregate and $1,000,000.00 per occurrence, providing for no deductible in excess of $250,000 without prior written consent of the lender; and (B) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis; and (3) independent contractors; (4) blanket contractual liability for all insured contracts;

(vi) if applicable, automobile liability coverage for all owned and non-owned vehicles, including rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits per occurrence of $1,000,000.00;

(vii) if applicable, worker’s compensation and employee’s liability subject to the worker’s compensation laws of the State in which the Property is located;

(viii) umbrella and excess liability insurance in an amount not less than $50,000,000.00 per occurrence and in the aggregate on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance policy required under subsection (v) above, including, but not limited to, supplemental coverage for liquor liability, employer’s liability and automobile liability, which umbrella liability coverage shall apply in excess of the liquor liability, employer’s liability and automobile liability coverage required herein;

(ix) Notwithstanding anything in subsection (a)(i) above to the contrary, Borrower shall be required to obtain and maintain coverage in its property insurance Policy (or by a separate Policy) against loss or damage by terrorist acts in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost” of the Property; provided that such coverage is available. In the event that such coverage with respect to terrorist acts is not included as part of the “all risk” property policy required by subsection (a)(i) above, Borrower shall, nevertheless be required to obtain coverage for terrorism (as standalone coverage) in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost” of the Property plus the rental loss and/or business interruption coverage under clause (a)(iii) above; provided that such coverage is available.

Borrower shall obtain the coverage required under this clause (i) from a carrier which otherwise satisfies the rating criteria specified in Section 5.1.2 below (a “Qualified Carrier”) or in the event that such coverage is not available from a Qualified Carrier, Borrower shall obtain such coverage from the highest rated insurance company providing such coverage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any such stand-alone policy covering terrorist acts, Borrower shall not be required to pay any Insurance Premiums solely with respect to such terrorism coverage in excess of the Terrorism Premium Cap (hereinafter defined); provided that if the Insurance Premiums payable with respect to such terrorism coverage exceeds the Terrorism Premium Cap, Lender may, at its option (1) purchase such stand-alone terrorism Policy, with Borrower paying such portion of the Insurance Premiums with respect thereto equal to the Terrorism Premium Cap and the Lender paying such portion of the Insurance Premiums in excess of the Terrorism Premium Cap or (2) modify the deductible amounts, policy limits and other required policy terms to reduce the Insurance Premiums payable with respect to such stand-alone terrorism Policy to the Terrorism Premium Cap. As used herein, (i) “Terrorism Premium Cap” means an amount equal to two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable in respect of the Property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the Loan Documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance) at the time that such terrorism coverage is excluded from the applicable Policy;

(x) liquor liability containing minimum limits per occurrence of $1,000,000; and

(xi) upon sixty (60) days’ written notice, such other reasonable insurance, including, but not limited to, sinkhole or land subsidence insurance, and in such reasonable amounts as Lender and Borrower from time to time may agree are reasonable 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) hereof, shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a rating of (a) “A:X” or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports and a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by at least two (2) of the Approved Rating Agencies including, (i) S&P, (ii) Fitch, and (iii) Moody’s, if ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ is rating the Securities; or (b) a syndicate of insurers through which at least 75% of the coverage (if there are 4 or fewer members of the syndicate) or at least 60% of the coverage (if there are 5 or more members of the syndicate) is with carriers having a rating by S&P not lower than “A” and by A.M. Best not lower than “A:X” and the balance of the coverage is, in each case, with insurers having a rating by S&P of not lower than “BBB” and by A.M. Best not lower than “A:X.”; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Policies may be issued by Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance Company or an affiliate, member or subsidiary thereof or other insurers, so long as the same has a rating of “AXV” or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports and a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better by S&P. The Policies described in Section 5.1 hereof (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee; however, for any loss with an expected

value less than $1,500,000 Borrower shall be permitted to adjust the loss and receive insurers payments direct, and Lender shall be notified of any loss with an value expected to exceed $1,000,000.

(c) Not less than ten (10) days following the inception of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies shall be furnished to Lender. Within forty five (45) days following inception of policies Borrower shall provide satisfactory evidence of payment of premiums (the “Insurance Premiums”) as required or requested by Lender.

(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 5.1.1(a) hereof, shall name Borrower as a named insured and, in the case of liability policies, except for the Policies referenced in Section 5.1.1(a)(vi) and (vii) of this Agreement, shall name Lender as its successors and/or assigns as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property policies, including but not limited to terrorism, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance.

(e) All property Policies shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

(vi) no act or negligence of Borrower or Operating Lessee, or anyone acting for Borrower or Operating Lessee, 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, or foreclosure or similar action, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

(vii) the Policy shall not be canceled and, if commercially available, materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lender, except ten (10) days’ notice for non-payment of premium;

(viii) Borrower shall give written notice to Lender if the Policy has not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration; and

(ix) 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 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 after ten (10) days’ notice to Borrower if prior to the date upon which any such coverage will lapse or at any time Lender deems necessary (regardless of prior notice to Borrower) to avoid the lapse of any such coverage. 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) Any blanket insurance Policy 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) (any such blanket policy, an “Acceptable Blanket Policy”).

5.1.2 Full Replacement Values - Limits Defined. Borrower shall at all times maintain property insurance as described in Section 5.1.1(a)(i) subject to the following:

(a) Borrower shall annually determine a fair and reasonable replacement cost for each asset insured and report said values to insurance carriers or panel of insurers. The “full replacement value” shall be deemed as the TIV (total insured value) and will be comprised of the cost of the building (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings), contents, and an eighteen month business income value. Said business income values shall be calculated annually using the most recent annual operating profit and loss statements by an independent third party.

(b) Named storm replacement costs shall be calculated as referenced in Section 5.1.2(a) and Borrower through an independent third party will annually determine using an exceeding probability analysis, a probable maximum loss (PML) estimate for all assets insured in the portfolio. The “limits” of named wind storm coverage will be equal to or exceed the 250 year return period – or a critical probability of 0.40%. All insured assets participate equally in the cost allocation and are equally insured.

(c) Critical high hazard earthquake coverage (California & Pacific Northwest) replacement costs shall be calculated as referenced in Section 5.1.2(a) above. Borrower through an independent third party will annually determine using an exceeding probability analysis a probable maximum loss (PML) estimate for all assets insured in the portfolio. The “limits” of high hazard earthquake coverage will be equal to or exceed the 250 year return period – or a critical probability of 0.40%. All insured assets participate equally in the cost allocation and are equally insured.

5.1.3 Notices. Certified copies of the Policies shall be delivered to Lender, upon Lender’s request, at the address below (or to such other address or Person as Lender shall designate from time to time by notice to Borrower), and the renewal certificates required pursuant to Section 5.1.1(c) hereof shall be provided to Lender:

Section 5.2 Casualty. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice thereof to Lender. Following the occurrence of a Casualty, Borrower shall (or cause Operating Lessee to), regardless of whether insurance proceeds are available, promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower or Operating Lessee. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and shall approve any final settlement) (i) if an Event of Default is continuing or (ii) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than One Million and No/100 Dollars

($1,000,000) and Borrower shall (or shall cause Operating Lessee to) deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation. Except as set forth in the foregoing sentence, any Insurance Proceeds in connection with any Casualty (whether or not Lender elects to settle and adjust the claim or Borrower or Operating Lessee settles such claim) shall be due and payable solely to Lender and held by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event Borrower, Operating Lessee or any party other than Lender is a payee on any check representing Insurance Proceeds with respect to any Casualty, Borrower shall (or shall cause Operating Lessee to) immediately endorse, and cause all such third parties to endorse, such check payable to the order of Lender. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its and Operating Lessee’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to endorse any such check payable to the order of Lender. Borrower hereby releases Lender from any and all liability with respect to the settlement and adjustment by Lender of any claims in respect of any Casualty.

Section 5.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall (or shall cause Operating Lessee to) promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of all or any portion of the Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall (or shall cause Operating Lessee to) from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall (or shall cause Operating Lessee to), 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 taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), 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 and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning 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 a condemning authority, Borrower shall (or shall cause Operating Lessee to) promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 5.4, whether or not an Award is available to pay the costs of such Restoration. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.

Section 5.4 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration:

(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than three percent (3%) of the Outstanding Principal Balance and provided no Event of Default is continuing, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 5.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and

to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than three percent (3%) of the Outstanding Principal Balance, the Net Proceeds will be held by Lender and Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4. The term “Net Proceeds” shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 5.1.1 (a)(i), (iv), and (vi) and Section 5.1.1(h) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.

(x) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration upon the determination of Lender, in its sole discretion, that the following conditions are met:

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

(B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than thirty percent (30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, 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 located on such land;

(C) Borrower shall (or shall cause Operating Lessee to) 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) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;

(D) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 5.1.1(a)(iii), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;

(E) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) the date six (6) months prior to the Stated Maturity Date, (2) such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements, (3) six (6) months prior to the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 5.1.1(a)(iii) or (4) for so long as the Accor is the Manager, within two (2) years after the commencement of the Restoration (unless, in the case of this subclause (4), Accor delivers a written waiver of its right of first offer set forth in Section 13.3 of the Accor Management Agreement);

(F) If a Franchise Agreement is in effect in accordance with this Agreement, Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed in accordance with any requirements under such Franchise Agreement;

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

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

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

(J) the Restoration DSCR, after giving effect to the Restoration, shall be equal to or greater than 4.63:1.00;

(K) the Loan to Value Ratio after giving effect to the Restoration, shall be equal to or less than fifty-three percent (53%);

(L) Borrower shall (or shall cause Operating Lessee to) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be acceptable to Lender; and

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

(xi) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in the Casualty and Condemnation Account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. 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 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 (B) 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 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.

(xii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender and an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. 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 the approval of Lender and the Casualty Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with recovering, holding 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.

(xiii) 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 5.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower or Operating Lessee 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 5.4(b) 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 (i) the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that such contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of such contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, (ii) 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 (iii) 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.

(xiv) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.

(xv) 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 (for deposit into the Casualty and Condemnation Account) before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be deposited by Lender into the

Casualty and Condemnation Account 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 5.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Obligations.

(xvi) 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 Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4(b), 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.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, including the provisions of this Section 5.4, if the Loan is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the Lien of the Mortgage following a Casualty or Condemnation (but taking into account any proposed Restoration of the remaining Property), the ratio of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan to the value of the remaining Property is greater than 125% (such value to be determined, in Lender’s sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust; and which shall exclude the value of personal property or going concern value, if any), the Outstanding Principal Balance must be paid down by an amount equal to the least of the following amounts: (i) the net Award (after payment of Lender’s costs and expenses and any other fees and expenses that have been approved by Lender) or the net Insurance Proceeds (after payment of Lender’s costs and expenses and any other fees and expenses that have been approved by Lender), as the case may be, or (ii) a “qualified amount” as that term is defined in the IRS Revenue Procedure 2010-30, as the same may be amended, replaced, supplemented or modified from time to time, unless Lender receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the applicable Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust as a result of the related release of such portion of the Lien of the Mortgage. If and to the extent the preceding sentence applies, only such amount of the net Award or net Insurance Proceeds (as applicable), if any, in excess of the amount required to pay down the principal balance of the Loan may be released for purposes of Restoration or released to Borrower as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 5.4.

(d) 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 5.4(b)(vii) may be retained and applied by Lender in accordance with Section 2.4.3 hereof 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 approve, in its discretion. Additionally, throughout the term of the Loan if an Event of Default is continuing, then Borrower shall pay to Lender, with respect to any payment of the Debt pursuant to this Section 5.4(d), an additional amount equal to the Spread Maintenance Premium (if applicable); provided, however, that if an Event of Default is not continuing, then no Spread Maintenance Premium shall be payable.

(e) 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.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in connection with a Casualty any insurance company makes a payment under a property insurance Policy that Borrower proposes be treated as business or rental interruption insurance, then, notwithstanding any designation (or lack of designation) by the insurance company as to the purpose of such payment, as between Lender and Borrower, such payment shall not be treated as business or rental interruption Insurance Proceeds unless Borrower has demonstrated to Lender’s satisfaction that the remaining Net Proceeds that have been received from the property insurance companies are sufficient to pay 100% of the cost of the Restoration or, if such Net Proceeds are to be applied to repay the Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof, that such remaining Net Proceeds will be sufficient to satisfy the Obligations in full.

(g) If, pursuant to Section 13 of the Accor Management Agreement, the Property is sold to Accor or its designee or nominee and the net sales proceeds from such sale are insufficient to repay the Debt in full, Borrower shall pay to Lender the difference between such net sales proceeds and the Debt (such amount, the “Manager ROFO Shortfall”).

For so long as a Qualified Hotel Manager is Manager, Borrower shall (and shall cause Operating Lessee to) cause any Qualified Hotel Manager to deposit all Rents into one or more operating accounts controlled by such Qualified Hotel Manager for the benefit of Borrower or Operating Lessee. Borrower shall (and shall cause Operating Lessee to) cause such Qualified Hotel Manager to deposit the Borrower’s Remittance Amount (as and when payable under the Accor Management Agreement or other Management Agreement with a Qualified Hotel Manager, as applicable, but in each case no less frequent that once per month) directly into the Deposit Account. Funds deposited into the Deposit Account shall be applied and disbursed in accordance with this Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement. Funds in the Deposit Account shall be invested in Permitted Investments, as more particularly set forth in the Cash Management Agreement. Lender may also establish subaccounts of the Deposit Account which shall at all times be Eligible Accounts (and may be ledger or book entry accounts and not actual accounts) (such subaccounts are referred to herein as “Accounts”). The Deposit Account and all other Accounts will be under the sole control and dominion of Lender, and Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal therefrom. Borrower shall pay for all expenses of opening and maintaining all of the above accounts. In the event that a Qualified Hotel Manager is no longer Manager, the cash management arrangements described in this Section 6.1 may be modified as reasonably required by Lender.

Section 6.2 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 6.3 Tax Funds.

6.3.2 Deposits of Tax Funds. Borrower shall deposit with Lender (i) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to $345,099.46 and (ii) on each Monthly Payment Date, an amount equal to one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months (initially, $172,549,73), in order to accumulate sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, which amounts shall be transferred into an Account (the “Tax Account”).

6.3.3 Release of Tax Funds. Provided no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, Lender shall direct Servicer to apply Tax Funds in the Tax Account to payments of Taxes. In making any payment relating to Taxes, Lender may do so according to any ▇▇▇▇, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) without inquiry into the accuracy of such ▇▇▇▇, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and provided that no Trigger Period exists, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax Funds. Any Tax Funds remaining in the Tax Account after the Obligations have been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower.

Section 6.4 Insurance Funds.

6.4.1 Deposits of Insurance Funds. Borrower shall deposit with or on behalf of Lender on each Monthly Payment Date, an amount equal to one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof, in order to accumulate sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies, which amounts shall be transferred into an Account established at Deposit Bank to hold such funds (the “Insurance Account”). Amounts deposited from time to time into the Insurance Account pursuant to this Section 6.4.1 are referred to herein as the “Insurance Funds”. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Insurance Funds will not be sufficient to pay the Insurance Premiums, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and the monthly deposits for Insurance Premiums shall be increased by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies.

6.4.2 Release of Insurance Funds. Provided no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, Lender shall direct Servicer to apply Insurance Funds in the Insurance Account to the timely payment of Insurance Premiums, provided Borrower shall furnish Lender with all bills, invoices and statements for the Insurance Premiums for which such funds are required at least thirty

(30) days prior to the date on which such charges first become payable. In making any payment relating to Insurance Premiums and provided that no Trigger Period exists, Lender may do so according to any ▇▇▇▇, statement or estimate procured from the insurer or its agent, without inquiry into the accuracy of such ▇▇▇▇, statement or estimate.

As of the date hereof, an Acceptable Blanket Policy is in effect with respect to the Policies required as of the Closing Date pursuant to Section 5.1.

Section 6.5 PIP Funds.

6.5.2 Release of PIP Funds. Provided no Event of Default is continuing, Lender shall direct Servicer to disburse PIP Funds to Borrower out of the PIP Reserve Account, within ten (10) days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least $10,000 (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the PIP Reserve Account is less than $10,000 in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made) provided that: (i) such disbursement is for PIP Costs; (ii) the request for disbursement is accompanied by (A) an Officer’s Certificate from Borrower (1) stating that the items to be funded by the requested disbursement are PIP Costs, and a description thereof, (2) stating that all PIP Costs to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed (or completed to the extent of the requested disbursement) in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, (3) stating that the PIP Costs (or the relevant portions thereof) to be funded from the disbursement in question have not been the subject of a previous disbursement, (4) stating that all previous disbursements of PIP Funds have been used to pay the previously identified PIP Costs, and (5) stating that all outstanding trade payables (other than those to be paid from the requested disbursement or those constituting Permitted Indebtedness) have been paid in full, (B) a copy of any license, permit or other approval required by any Governmental Authority in connection with the PIP Costs and not previously delivered to Lender, (C) copies of appropriate lien waivers, conditional lien waivers, or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender, (D) at Lender’s option, for any disbursement in excess of $75,000, a title search for the Property indicating that the Property is free from all Liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender, and (E) such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request to demonstrate that the PIP Costs to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed

Section 6.9 FF&E Reserve Funds.

6.9.5 Deposits of FF&E Reserve Funds. Borrower shall deposit with or on behalf of Lender on each Monthly Payment Date an amount equal to four percent (4.0%) of the Rents for the Property for the second preceding month for Approved Capital Expenditures and the repair and replacement of the FF&E (such Approved Capital Expenditures and FF&E, collectively, “FF&E Work”) that may be incurred following the date hereof, which amounts shall be transferred into an Account established (the “FF&E Reserve Account”). Lender may from time to time reassess its estimate of the required monthly amount necessary for the budgeted FF&E Work and, upon notice to Borrower, Borrower shall be required to deposit with or on behalf of Lender each month such reassessed amount, which shall be transferred into the FF&E Reserve Account.

6.9.6 Release of FF&E Reserve Funds.

Section 6.10 Casualty and Condemnation Account. Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Lender all Insurance Proceeds or Awards due to any Casualty or Condemnation in accordance with the provisions of Sections 5.2 and 5.3, which amounts shall be transferred into an Account (the “Casualty and Condemnation Account”). Amounts deposited from time to time into the Casualty and Condemnation Account pursuant to this Section 6.10 are referred to herein as the “Casualty and Condemnation Funds”. All Casualty and Condemnation Funds shall be held, disbursed and/or applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.4 hereof.

Section 6.11 Cash Collateral Funds. If a Trigger Period shall be continuing, all Available Cash shall be paid to Lender, which amounts shall be transferred by Lender into an Account (the “Cash Collateral Account”) to be held by Lender as cash collateral for the Debt. Amounts on deposit from time to time in the Cash Collateral Account pursuant to this Section 6.11 are referred to as the “Cash Collateral Funds”. Any Cash Collateral Funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account not previously disbursed or applied shall, upon the termination of such Trigger Period, be added to the Rents disbursed on the next Monthly Payment Date pursuant to Section 6.12.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, in its sole and absolute discretion to apply any and all Cash Collateral Funds then on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account to the Debt or Obligations, in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect in its sole and absolute discretion, including to make a prepayment of principal (together with the applicable Spread Maintenance Premium, if any, applicable thereto) or any other amounts due hereunder.

Section 6.12 Property Cash Flow Allocation.

6.12.4 Order of Priority of Funds in Deposit Account. On each Monthly Payment Date during the Term, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, all funds deposited into the Deposit Account during the then-current Interest Period shall be applied on such Monthly Payment Date in the following order of priority:

(i) First, to the Tax Account, to make the required payments of Tax Funds as required under Section 6.3;

(ii) Second, to the Insurance Account, to make any required payments of Insurance Funds as required under Section 6.4;

(iii) Third, to Lender, funds sufficient to pay the interest due on such Monthly Payment Date;

(iv) Fourth, to the FF&E Reserve Account, to make the required payments of FF&E Reserve Funds as required under Section 6.9;

(v) Fifth, to Lender, of any other amounts then due and payable under the Loan Documents;

(vi) Sixth, if a New Mezzanine Loan (or any portion thereof) is outstanding and a Trigger Period is continuing, to make payments in the amount of the monthly debt service payment payable under the terms of the New Mezzanine Loan, to the lender under the New Mezzanine Loan; and

(vii) Lastly, all amounts remaining after payment of the amounts set forth in clauses (i) through (vi) above (the “Available Cash”):

(A) during a Trigger Period, to the Cash Collateral Account to be held or disbursed in accordance with Section 6.11; or

(B) provided no Trigger Period is continuing, disbursed to Borrower.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and provided no Trigger Period is continuing, with respect to each Interest Period, if Lender determines on or prior to the twenty-seventh (27^th) day of the month that funds deposited into the Deposit Account during the then-current Interest Period will be sufficient to make the required payments referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) - (vi) on the next occurring Monthly Payment Date and that there will be Available Cash after such payments are made, then Lender shall disburse such Available Cash to Borrower on or about the twenty-seventh (27^th) day of each month (and on the Monthly Payment Date the payments required under clauses (i) - (vi) shall be made).

6.12.5 Failure to Make Payments. The failure of Borrower to make all of the payments required under clauses (i) through (v) of Section 6.12.1 in full on each Monthly Payment Date shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement; provided, however, if adequate funds are available in the Deposit Account for such payments, and Borrower is not otherwise in Default hereunder, the failure by the Deposit Bank to allocate such funds into the appropriate Accounts shall not constitute an Event of Default.

6.12.6 Application After Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 6, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may apply any Gross Revenue then in the possession of Lender, Servicer or Deposit Bank (including any Reserve Funds on deposit in any Cash Management Account) to the payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole and

absolute discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply any of the foregoing funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under the Loan Documents.

Section 6.13 Security Interest in Reserve Funds. As security for payment of the Debt and the performance by Borrower of all other terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges and assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender a security interest in, all Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all Gross Revenue and in and to all payments to or monies held in the Deposit Account and Accounts created pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the “Cash Management Accounts”). Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest in, and agrees to hold in trust for the benefit of Lender, all Rents in its possession prior to the (i) payment of such Gross Revenue to Lender or (ii) deposit of such Gross Revenue into the Deposit Account. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Cash Management Account, or permit any Lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. This Agreement is, among other things, intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the UCC. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any sums in any Cash Management Account in any order and in any manner as Lender shall elect in Lender’s discretion without seeking the appointment of a receiver and without adversely affecting the rights of Lender to foreclose the Lien of the Mortgage or exercise its other rights under the Loan Documents. Cash Management Accounts shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. All interest which accrues on the funds in any Account (other than the Tax Account and the Insurance Account) shall accrue for the benefit of Borrower and shall be taxable to Borrower and shall be added to and disbursed in the same manner and under the same conditions as the principal sum on which said interest accrued. Upon repayment in full of the Debt, all remaining funds in the Accounts, if any, shall be promptly disbursed to Borrower.

Section 8.2 Remedies.

8.2.4 Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (vii), (viii) or (ix) of Section 8.1 above) and at any time during the continuance 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 (and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand), that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and Operating Lessee and in and to the Property, including declaring the Obligations 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, Operating Lessee and the Property, including all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (vii), (viii) or (ix) of Section 8.1 above, the Obligations of Borrower and Operating Lessee hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable in full, 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.

8.2.5 Remedies Cumulative. 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 and Operating Lessee under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower and/or Operating Lessee 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 Obligations 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. 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 and Operating Lessee 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 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 or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents or by equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender shall not be 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 Obligations or the Obligations have been paid in full. 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 or Operating Lessee shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or Operating Lessee or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

8.2.6 Severance.

(a) 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 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 delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, 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 the sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.

(b) During the continuance of an Event of Default, 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 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 (and shall cause Operating Lessee to) 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 and Operating Lessee’s 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, each of Borrower and Operating Lessee 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.

(c) During the continuance of an Event of Default, 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.

8.2.7 Lender’s Right to Perform. If Borrower fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause the performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand and if not paid shall be added to the Obligations (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to Borrower or Operating Lessee of any such failure.

(c) If, at the time a Disclosure Document is being prepared for a Securitization, Lender expects that Borrower and Operating Lessee alone or Borrower, Operating Lessee and one or more Affiliates of Borrower and Operating Lessee (including any guarantor or other Person that is directly or indirectly committed by contract or otherwise to make payments on all or a part of the Loan) collectively, or the Property alone or the Property and Related Properties collectively, will be a Significant Obligor, Borrower shall furnish to Lender upon request the following financial information:

Borrower shall (and shall cause Operating Lessee to) furnish to Lender, in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Documents and on an ongoing basis, financial data and/or financial statements with respect to such Tenants meeting the requirements of Item 1112(b)(1) or (2) of Regulation AB, as specified by Lender, but only for so long as such entity or entities are a Significant Obligor and either (x) filings pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with or relating to the Securitization (an “Exchange Act Filing”) are required to be made under applicable Legal Requirements or (y) comparable information is required to otherwise be “available” to holders of the Securities under Regulation AB or applicable Legal Requirements.

(h) If requested by Lender, whether in connection with a Securitization or at any time thereafter during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization, Borrower shall (and shall cause Operating Lessee to) provide Lender, promptly upon request, a list of Tenants (including all affiliates of such Tenants) that in the aggregate (1) occupy 10% or more (but less than 20%) of the total floor area of the improvements or represent 10% or more (but less than 20%) of aggregate base rent, and (2) occupy 20% or more of the total floor area of the improvements or represent 20% or more of aggregate base.

Section 9.2 Securitization Indemnification.

(a) Borrower understands that information provided to Lender by Borrower, Operating Lessee and their agents, counsel and representatives may be included in preliminary and final disclosure documents in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, including a Securitization, including an offering circular, a prospectus, prospectus supplement, private placement memorandum or other offering document (each, a “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, investment banking firms, NRSROs, accounting firms, law firms and other third-party advisory and service providers relating to any Secondary Market Transaction, including a Securitization. Borrower and Operating Lessee also understand that the findings and conclusions of any third-party due diligence report obtained by the Lender, the Issuer or the Securitization placement agent or underwriter may be made publicly available if required, and in the manner prescribed, by Section 15E(s)(4)(A) of the Exchange Act and any rules promulgated thereunder.

(b) Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Lender (and for purposes of this Section 9.2, Lender shall include the initial lender, its successors and assigns, and their respective officers and directors) and each Person who controls the Lender within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Lender Group”), the issuer of the Securities (the “Issuer” and for purposes of this Section 9.2, Issuer shall include its officers, director and each Person who controls the Issuer within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and any placement agent or underwriter with respect to the Securitization, each of their respective officers and directors and each Person who controls the placement agent or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the information provided to Lender by Borrower, Operating Lessee or their respective agents, counsel and representatives, (B) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such information or necessary in order to make the statements in such information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (C) a breach of the representations and warranties made by Borrower or Operating Lessee in Section 3.1.31 of this Agreement (Full and Accurate Disclosure). Borrower also agrees to reimburse Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities. Borrower’s liability under this paragraph will be limited to Liability that arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower or Operating Lessee in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including financial statements of Borrower and Operating Lessee, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property. This indemnification provision will be in addition to any liability which Borrower or Operating Lessee may otherwise have. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any Person that is included in the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group that is not a direct party to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement with respect to this Section 9.2(b). Within five (5) Business Days after Lender’s written request, Borrower and Guarantor shall

execute and deliver to Lender a separate indemnification and reimbursement agreement in favor of the Lender Group, the Issuer and the Underwriter Group in form and substance consistent with the indemnification and reimbursement obligations of Borrower under this Section 9.2(b).

(c) In connection with any Exchange Act Filing or other reports containing comparable information that is required to be made “available” to holders of the Securities under Regulation AB or applicable Legal Requirements, Borrower agrees to (i) indemnify Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, an alleged untrue statement or alleged omission or an untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower or Operating Lessee in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including financial statements of Borrower, Operating Lessee, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property, and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/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 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 pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 9.2(d), such indemnifying party shall pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than 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 the indemnifying party. Without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no indemnifying party shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless the indemnifying party shall have given Lender reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall

have obtained an unconditional release of each indemnified party hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings, and such settlement requires no statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the 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 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 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) the Issuer’s and Borrower’s and Operating Lessee’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) The liabilities and obligations of Borrower, Operating Lessee and Lender under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

Section 9.3 Severance. Subject to Section 9.4 hereof:

9.3.1 Severance Documentation. Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to or after any sale, participation or Securitization of all or any portion of the Loan), to require Borrower (at no material cost to Borrower) to execute and deliver “component” notes and/or modify the Loan in order to create one or more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure) and/or one or more additional components of the Note or Notes (including the implementation of one or more New Mezzanine Loans (in accordance with Section 9.3.2 below)), reduce the number of components of the Note or Notes, revise the interest rate for each component, reallocate the principal balances of the Notes and/or the components, increase or decrease the monthly debt service payments for each component and/or any LIBOR floor or eliminate the component structure and/or the multiple note structure of the Loan (including the elimination of the related allocations of principal and interest payments), provided that the Outstanding Principal Balance of all components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the Outstanding Principal Balance immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification. At Lender’s election, each note comprising the Loan may be subject to one or more Securitizations.

Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to or after any Secondary Market Transaction), to create one or more mezzanine loans (each, a “New Mezzanine Loan”), to establish different interest rates and to reallocate the Outstanding Principal Balance and monthly debt service payments for the Loan to the Loan and such New Mezzanine Loan(s) and to require the payment of the Loan and any New Mezzanine Loan(s) in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender; provided, that the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and such New Mezzanine Loan(s) immediately after the effective date of the creation of such New Mezzanine Loan(s) equals the Outstanding Principal Balance immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for the Loan and such New Mezzanine Loan(s) immediately after the effective date of the creation of such New Mezzanine Loan(s) equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification. Borrower shall cause the formation of one or more special purpose, bankruptcy remote entities as required by Lender in order to serve as the borrower under any New Mezzanine Loan (each, a “New Mezzanine Loan Borrower”) and the applicable organizational documents of Borrower shall be amended and modified as necessary or required in the formation of any New Mezzanine Loan Borrower.

9.3.3 Cooperation; Execution; Delivery. Borrower shall (and shall cause Operating Lessee to) reasonably cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in connection with this Section 9.3.

In the event Borrower fails to execute and deliver (or cause Operating Lessee to execute and deliver) such documents to Lender within five (5) Business Days following such request by Lender, Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its Operating Lessee’s true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such transactions, Borrower hereby ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof. It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents if Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 9.3 after expiration of ten (10) Business Days after notice thereof.

Section 9.4 Costs and Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 9, neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall be required to incur any costs or expenses in the performance of its obligations under Sections 9.1(a) or (b) or Section 9.3 above other than expenses of Borrower’s counsel of up to $15,000.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, the Guaranty, the Environmental Indemnity or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, Recourse Liabilities and Springing Recourse Events shall not include any action or omission of (A) Lender or its agents from and after a foreclosure of the Mortgage, or Lender’s acceptance of a deed-in lieu of foreclosure, (B) a receiver selected or appointed by Lender for the Property during the continuance of such receiver’s tenure or (C) any purchaser of the Property at a foreclosure of the Mortgage, or any transferee of Lender or such purchaser, in each case under this clause (C), so long as such purchaser or transferee is not owned or Controlled in whole or in part (directly or indirectly) by Guarantor or an Affiliate of Guarantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall relieve the Borrower or Operating

105

Lessee from liability for any Borrower’s Recourse Liabilities or Springing Recourse Events which are caused by or on behalf of Borrower, Operating Lessee or Guarantor.

Section 10.2 Survival; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as all or any of the Obligations are outstanding and unpaid unless a longer period is expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.

Prior to a Securitization, whenever pursuant to this Agreement the Rating Agencies are given any right to approve or disapprove any matter, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove such matter or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, based upon Lender’s determination of Rating Agency criteria, shall be substituted therefor.

(e) Whenever, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, a Rating Agency Confirmation is required from each applicable Rating Agency, in the event that any applicable Rating Agency “declines review”, “waives review” or otherwise indicates in writing or otherwise to Lender’s or Servicer’s satisfaction that no Rating Agency Confirmation will or needs to be issued with respect to the matter in question (each, a “Review Waiver”), then the Rating Agency Confirmation requirement shall be deemed to be satisfied with respect to such matter. It is expressly agreed and understood, however, that receipt of a Review Waiver (i) from any one Rating Agency shall not be binding or apply with respect to any other Rating Agency and (ii) with respect to one matter shall not apply or be deemed to apply to any subsequent matter for which Rating Agency Confirmation is required.

Section 10.10 Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower or Operating Lessee to any portion of the Obligations of Borrower or Operating Lessee hereunder.

Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.

Section 10.13 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 or Operating Lessee may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower and Operating Lessee 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.

Section 10.14 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 or among Borrower, Operating Lessee and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.

(b) The Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender, Borrower and Operating Lessee (and the Lender Group, the Issuer and the Underwriter Group with respect to Section 9.2(b)) and nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than the Lender, Borrower and Operating Lessee any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.

Section 10.15 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower, Operating Lessee or their 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, the Affiliate of Lender that acts as the issuer with respect to a Securitization or any of their other Affiliates (x) shall be prohibited prior to the final Securitization of the Loan and (y) after the final Securitization of the Loan, shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender.

Section 10.16 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, Operating Lessee, the members or partners of Borrower or Operating Lessee, as applicable, and others with interests in Borrower or Operating Lessee, 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 Obligations without any prior or different resort for collection, or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Obligations out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

Section 10.17 Certain Waivers. 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 or Operating Lessee is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents. Without limiting any of the other provisions contained herein, Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by applicable law, any rights it may have to claim or recover against Lender in any legal action or proceeding any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

Section 10.18 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

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 or Operating Lessee, 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, Operating Lessee or their Affiliates.

112

Section 10.19 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that, except for ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ LaSalle (“Broker”), it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower will pay Broker a commission pursuant to a separate agreement. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising out of a claim by any Person (including Broker) that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower, Operating Lessee or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.19 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.

Section 10.20 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto and their respective affiliates in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, including any confidentiality agreements or any similar agreements between or among any such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 10.21 Servicer.

(a) At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer or special 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 not be responsible for any set-up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement. Borrower shall not be responsible for payment of the monthly or annual master servicing fee due to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.

(b) Other than as set provided in Section 10.21(a) above, Borrower shall pay all of the fees and expenses of the Servicer and any reasonable third-party fees and expenses in connection with the Loan, including any prepayments, releases of the Property, approvals under the Loan Documents requested by Borrower or Operating Lessee, other requests under the Loan, assumption of Borrower’s and Operating Lessee’s obligations or modification of the Loan, as well as any customary fees and expenses in connection with the special servicing or work-out of the Loan or enforcement of the Loan Documents, including, special servicing fees, operating or trust advisor fees (if the Loan is a specially serviced loan or in connection with a workout), work-out fees, liquidation fees, attorneys fees and expenses and other fees and expenses in connection with the modification or restructuring of the Loan.

Section 10.22 Joint and Several Liability. If more than one Person has executed this Agreement as “Borrower” or as “Operating Lessee” the representations, covenants, warranties and obligations of all such Persons hereunder shall be joint and several.

Section 10.23 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

113

Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and any other Loan Document (including 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 10.24 Taxes. Any and all payments by Borrower or Operating Lessee hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on Lender’s income, and franchise taxes imposed on Lender by the law or regulation of any Governmental Authority (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to in this Section 10.24 as “Applicable Taxes”). If Borrower or Operating Lessee shall be required by law to deduct any Applicable Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, the following shall apply: (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 10.24), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower or Operating Lessee shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrower or Operating Lessee shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. Payments pursuant to this Section 10.24 shall be made within ten (10) days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor.

Section 10.25 Assignments and Participations. In addition to any other rights of Lender hereunder, the Loan, the Note, the Loan Documents and/or Lender’s rights, title, obligations and interests therein may be sold, assigned, participated or otherwise transferred by Lender and any of its successors and assigns to any Person at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law (pursuant to a merger or other successor in interest) or otherwise without notice to or consent from Borrower, Operating Lessee or any other Person. Upon such assignment, all references to Lender in this Agreement and in any Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such assignee or successor in interest and such assignee or successor in interest shall thereafter stand in the place of Lender in all respects. Except as expressly permitted herein, neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee may assign its rights, title, interests or obligations under this Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents.

Section 10.26 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 10.27 Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Agreement and by law, Lender shall have the right in its sole discretion, without prior notice to Borrower or Operating Lessee, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower or to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower or Operating Lessee 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,

114

at any time held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower or Operating Lessee; provided however, Lender may only exercise such right during the continuance of an Event of Default. 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.

DEFINITION OF SPECIAL PURPOSE BANKRUPTCY REMOTE ENTITY

Borrower hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with, Lender that since the date of its formation and at all times on and after the date hereof and until such time as the Obligations shall be paid and performed in full:

(a) Borrower (i) has been, is, and will be organized solely for the purpose of acquiring, developing, owning, holding, financing, selling, leasing, transferring, exchanging, managing and operating the Property, entering into this Agreement with the Lender, refinancing the Property in connection with a permitted repayment of the Loan, and transacting lawful business that is incident, necessary and appropriate to accomplish the foregoing, and (ii) has not owned, does not own, and will not own any asset or property other than (A) the Property, and (B) incidental personal property necessary for the ownership or operation of the Property.

(b) Borrower has not engaged and will not engage in any business other than the ownership, management and operation of the Property and Borrower will conduct and operate its business as presently conducted and operated.

(c) Other than with Operating Lessee, Borrower has not and will not enter into any contract or agreement with any Affiliate of Borrower except upon terms and conditions that are intrinsically fair, commercially reasonable, and no less favorable to it than would be available on an arms-length basis with third parties other than any such party.

(d) Borrower has not incurred and will not incur any Indebtedness other than Permitted Indebtedness. No Indebtedness other than the Debt and Permitted Equipment Financing may be secured (senior, subordinate or pari passu) by the Property.

(e) Borrower has not made and will not make any loans or advances to any third party (including any Affiliate or constituent party), and has not and shall not acquire obligations or securities of its Affiliates other than the Operating Lease.

(f) Borrower has been, is, and intends to remain solvent and Borrower has paid and intends to pay its debts and liabilities (including, as applicable, shared personnel and overhead expenses) from its assets; provided that the foregoing shall not require any direct or indirect member, partner or shareholder of Borrower to make any additional capital contributions to Borrower.

(g) Borrower has done or caused to be done, and will do, all things necessary to observe organizational formalities and preserve its existence, and Borrower has not, will not, nor will Borrower permit any SPC Party to, (i) terminate or fail to comply with the provisions of its organizational documents, or (ii) unless (A) Lender has consented and (B) following a Securitization of the Loan, the applicable Rating Agencies have issued a Rating Agency Confirmation in connection therewith, amend, modify or otherwise change its partnership certificate, partnership agreement, articles of incorporation and bylaws, operating agreement, trust or other organizational documents.

(h) Borrower has maintained and will maintain all of its books, records, financial statements and bank accounts separate from those of its Affiliates and any other Person. Borrower’s assets will not be listed as assets on the financial statement of any other Person, provided, however, that Borrower’s assets may be included in a consolidated financial statement of its Affiliates provided that appropriate notation shall be made on such consolidated financial statements to indicate the separateness of Borrower and such Affiliates and to indicate that Borrower’s assets and credit are not available to satisfy the debts and other obligations of such Affiliates or any other Person. Borrower has maintained and shall maintain its books, records, resolutions and agreements in accordance with this Agreement.

(i) Borrower has been, will be, and at all times has held and will hold itself out to the public as, a legal entity separate and distinct from any other entity (including any Affiliate of Borrower or any constituent party of Borrower), shall correct any known misunderstanding regarding its status as a separate entity, shall conduct business in its own name, shall not identify itself or any of its Affiliates as a division or department or part of the other and shall maintain and utilize separate stationery, invoices and checks bearing its own name.

(j) Borrower has maintained and intends to maintain adequate capital for the normal obligations reasonably foreseeable in a business of its size and character and in light of its contemplated business operations; provided that the foregoing shall not require any direct or indirect member, partner or shareholder of Borrower to make any additional capital contributions to Borrower.

(k) Neither Borrower nor any constituent party of Borrower has sought or will seek or effect the liquidation, dissolution, winding up, consolidation or merger, in whole or in part, of Borrower.

(l) Borrower has not and will not commingle the funds and other assets of Borrower with those of any Affiliate or constituent party or any other Person, and has held and will hold all of its assets in its own name.

(m) Borrower has and will maintain its assets in such a manner that it will not be costly or difficult to segregate, ascertain or identify its individual assets from those of any Affiliate or constituent party or any other Person.

(n) Other than Operating Lessee, Borrower has not and will not assume or guarantee or become obligated for the debts of any other Person and does not and will not hold itself out to be responsible for or have its credit available to satisfy the debts or obligations of any other Person.

(o) Each of Borrower’s general partner or managing member, as applicable, (each, an “SPC Party”) shall be a Delaware limited liability company or a corporation formed under the laws of any jurisdiction of the United States whose sole asset is its interest in Borrower and each such SPC Party (i) will cause Borrower to be a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity; (ii) will at all times comply with each of the representations, warranties and covenants contained on this Schedule V (other than clauses (a), (b), (d) and (y)) as if such representation, warranty or covenant was made directly by such SPC Party; (iii) will not engage in any business or activity other than owning an interest in Borrower; (iv) will not acquire or own any assets other than its partnership or membership interest in Borrower; and (v) will not incur any debt, secured or unsecured, direct or contingent (including guaranteeing any obligation) other than unsecured trade payables incurred in the ordinary course of business related to the ownership of an interest in Borrower that (A) do not exceed at any one time $10,000.00, and (B) are paid within thirty (30) days after the date incurred. Upon the withdrawal or the disassociation of an SPC Party from Borrower, Borrower shall immediately appoint a new SPC Party whose articles or certificate of formation or incorporation are substantially similar to those of such SPC Party and deliver a new non-consolidation opinion to the Rating Agency or Rating Agencies, as applicable, with respect to the new SPC Party and its equity owners.

(p) The organizational documents of each SPC Party shall provide that at all times there shall be (and Borrower shall at all times cause there to be) at least two (2) duly appointed Independent Directors or Independent Managers. In addition, the organizational documents of each SPC Party shall provide that no Independent Director or Independent Manager (as applicable) of such SPC Party may be removed or replaced without Cause and unless such SPC Party provides Lender with not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of (a) any proposed removal of an Independent Director or Independent Manager (as applicable), together with a statement as to the reasons for such removal, and (b) the identity of the proposed replacement Independent Director or Independent Manager (as applicable), together with a certification that such replacement satisfies the requirements set forth in the organizational documents for an Independent Director or Independent Manager (as applicable).

(q) The organizational documents of Borrower and each SPC Party shall also provide an express acknowledgment that Lender is an intended third-party beneficiary of the “special purpose” provisions of such organizational documents.

(r) The organizational documents of each SPC Party shall provide that such SPC Party shall not take any action which, under the terms of any certificate of incorporation, by-laws or any voting trust agreement with respect to any common stock, requires a unanimous vote of the (A) the sole member of such SPC Party (the “Sole Member”), (B) the board of directors of such SPC Party or (C) the committee of managers of such SPC Party designated to manage the business affairs of such SPC Party (the “Committee”), unless at the time of such action there shall be at least two (2) duly appointed Independent Directors or Independent Managers and all such Independent Directors or Independent Managers (as applicable) have participated in such vote. The organizational documents of each SPC Party shall provide that actions requiring such unanimous written consent, including the Independent Directors or Independent Managers (as applicable), shall include each of the following with respect to such SPC Party and Borrower: (i) filing or consenting to the filing of any petition, either voluntary or involuntary, to take advantage of any applicable insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization statute, (ii) seeking or consenting to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator or any similar official of Borrower or a substantial part of its business, (iii) taking any action that might cause such entity to become insolvent, (iv) making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (v) admitting in writing its inability to pay debts generally as they become due, (vi) declaring or effectuating a moratorium on the payment of any obligations, or (vii) taking any action in furtherance of the foregoing. In addition, the organizational documents of each SPC Party shall provide that, when voting with respect to any matters set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this clause (r), the Independent Directors or Independent Managers (as applicable) shall consider only the interests of Borrower, including its creditors. No SPC Party shall (on behalf of itself or Borrower) take any of the foregoing actions without the unanimous written consent of its board of directors, its member(s) or the Committee, as applicable, including (or together with) all Independent Directors or Independent Managers, as applicable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such documents shall expressly provide that, to the greatest extent permitted by law, except for duties to Borrower (including duties to Borrower’s equity holders solely to the extent of their respective economic interests in Borrower and to Borrower’s creditors as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence), such Independent Directors or Independent Managers (as applicable) shall not owe any fiduciary duties to, and shall not consider, in acting or otherwise voting on any matter for which their approval is required, the interests of (i) the SPC Party or Borrower’s other equity holders, (ii) other Affiliates of Borrower, or (iii) any group of Affiliates of which Borrower is a part); provided, however, the foregoing shall not eliminate the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

(s) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the SPC Party may be a Delaware single-member limited liability company provided that:

(i) the organizational documents of such SPC Party shall provide that, as long as any portion of the Obligations remains outstanding, upon the occurrence of any event that causes the Sole Member of such SPC Party to cease to be a member of such SPC Party (other than (i) upon an assignment by Sole Member of all of its limited liability company interest in SPC Party and the admission of the transferee, if permitted pursuant to the organizational documents of SPC Party and the Loan Documents, or (ii) the resignation of Sole Member and the admission of an additional member of SPC Party, if permitted pursuant to the organizational documents of SPC Party and the Loan Documents), each of the persons acting as an Independent Director or Independent Manager (as applicable) of SPC Party shall, without any action of any Person and simultaneously with Sole Member ceasing to be a member of SPC Party, automatically be admitted as members of SPC Party (in each case, individually, a “Special Member” and collectively, the “Special Members”) and shall preserve and continue the existence of SPC Party without dissolution. The organizational documents of SPC Party shall further provide that for so long as any portion of the Obligations is outstanding, no Special Member may resign or transfer its rights as Special Member unless (i) a successor Special Member has been admitted to SPC Party as a Special Member, and (ii) such successor Special Member has also accepted its appointment as an Independent Director or Independent Manager (as applicable);

(ii) the organizational documents of SPC Party shall provide that, as long as any portion of the Obligations remains outstanding, except as expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (i) Sole Member may not resign, and (ii) no additional member shall be admitted to SPC Party; and

(iii) the organizational documents of SPC Party shall provide that, as long as any portion of the Obligations remains outstanding: (i) SPC Party shall be dissolved, and its affairs shall be wound up, only upon the first to occur of the following: (A) the termination of the legal existence of the last remaining member of SPC Party or the occurrence of any other event which terminates the continued membership of the last remaining member of SPC Party in SPC Party unless the business of SPC Party is continued in a manner permitted by its operating agreement or the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “Act”), or (B) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act; (ii) upon the occurrence of any event that causes the last remaining member of SPC Party to cease to be a member of SPC Party or that causes Sole Member to cease to be a member of SPC Party (other than (A) upon an assignment by Sole Member of all of its limited liability company interest in SPC Party and the admission of the transferee, if permitted pursuant to the organizational documents of SPC Party and the Loan Documents, or (B) the resignation of Sole Member and the admission of an additional member of SPC Party, if permitted pursuant to the organizational documents of SPC Party and the Loan Documents), to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of such last remaining member shall be authorized to, and shall, within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of such member in SPC Party, agree in writing (I) to continue the existence of SPC Party, and (II) to the admission of the personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute member of SPC Party, effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of such member in SPC Party; (iii) the bankruptcy of Sole Member or a Special Member shall not cause such Sole Member or Special Member, respectively, to cease to be a member of SPC Party and upon the occurrence of such an event, the business of SPC Party shall continue without dissolution; (iv) in the event of the dissolution of SPC Party, SPC Party shall conduct only such activities as are necessary to wind up its affairs (including the sale of the assets of SPC Party in an orderly manner), and the assets of SPC Party shall be applied in the manner, and in the order of priority, set forth in Section 18-804 of the Act; and (v) to the fullest extent permitted by law, each of Sole Member and the Special Members shall irrevocably waive any right or power that they might have to cause SPC Party or any of its assets to be partitioned, to cause the appointment of a receiver for all or any portion of the assets of SPC Party, to compel any sale of all or any portion of the assets of SPC Party pursuant to any applicable law or to file a complaint or to institute any proceeding at law or in equity to cause the dissolution, liquidation, winding up or termination of SPC Party.

(t) Borrower shall conduct its business so that the assumptions made with respect to Borrower in the Insolvency Opinion shall be true and correct in all respects. In connection with the foregoing, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that it will comply with or cause the compliance with, (i) all of the facts and assumptions (whether regarding Borrower or any other Person) set forth in the Insolvency Opinion, (ii) all of the representations, warranties and covenants in this Schedule V, and (iii) all of the organizational documents of Borrower and any SPC Party.
