Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in the Note or the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall not be required to pay, and Lender shall not be permitted to collect, any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by law (the “Excess Interest”). If any Excess Interest is provided for, whether in the Interest Rate, the Default Rate, through any contingency or event, or otherwise, or is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been provided for herein or in the Note or in any of the other Loan Documents, then in such event: (1) the provisions of this subsection shall govern and control; (2) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any Excess Interest; (3) any Excess Interest that Lender may have received hereunder shall be, at Lender’s option, to the fullest extent provided by applicable law: (a) applied as a credit against either or both of the

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any Obligation is calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate under the Note, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on such Obligations shall, to the extent permitted by law, remain at the Maximum Rate until Lender shall have received or accrued the amount of interest which Lender would have received or accrued during such period on Obligations had the rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period. If the Default Rate shall be finally determined to be unlawful, then the applicable Interest Rate shall be applicable during any time when the Default Rate would have been applicable hereunder, provided however that if the Maximum Rate is greater or lesser than the applicable Interest Rate, then the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall apply.

(D) Determination of Interest Rate.

(i) In the event that Lender shall have reasonably determined that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market or otherwise LIBOR cannot be determined as provided in the definition of LIBOR as set forth herein and the Loan has not been converted to an Alternate Rate Loan in accordance with Section 2.2(D)(v) below, then Lender shall forthwith give notice thereof by telephone of such fact, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the next succeeding Determination Date. Subject to Section 2.2(D)(v) below, if such notice is given, the Loan shall be converted, from and after the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, to a Prime Rate Loan bearing interest based on the Prime Rate in effect on each applicable Determination Date.

(ii) If, pursuant to the terms of Section 2.2(D)(i) above, the Loan has been converted to a Prime Rate Loan but thereafter:

(a) LIBOR can again be determined as provided in the definition of LIBOR as set forth herein, Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower and convert the Prime Rate Loan back to a Floating Interest Rate Loan by delivering to Borrower notice of such conversion no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City Time), one (1) Business Day prior to the next succeeding Determination Date, and the Loan shall be converted to a Floating Interest Rate Loan, from, after and including the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period.

(b) Lender has determined in good faith that LIBOR has been succeeded by an Alternate Index and such Alternate Index can be determined, then the Prime Rate Loan shall be converted to an Alternate Rate Loan, in accordance with, and subject to, the requirements set forth in Section 2.2(D)(v), provided for purposes of this Section 2.2(D)(ii)(b), all references to “Floating Interest Rate Loan” in Section 2.2(D)(v) shall be deemed to refer to such converted Prime Rate Loan.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to elect to convert (i) a Floating Interest Rate Loan to a Prime Rate Loan or an Alternate Rate Loan, (ii) a Prime Rate Loan to a Floating Interest Rate Loan or an Alternate Rate Loan or (iii) an Alternate Rate Loan to a Floating Interest Rate Loan or a Prime Rate Loan.

Page 33

(iii) If, pursuant to the terms of Section 2.2(D)(v) below, the Loan has been converted to an Alternate Rate Loan but thereafter Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the Alternate Index cannot be ascertained as provided in the definition thereof, then Lender shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the next succeeding Determination Date. If such notice is given, the Alternate Rate Loan shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, to a Prime Rate Loan. If following such conversion to a Prime Rate Loan, the Alternate Index can again be determined, then Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower and convert the Prime Rate Loan back to an Alternate Rate Loan by delivering to Borrower notice of such conversion no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City Time), one (1) Business Day prior to the next succeeding Determination Date, and the Prime Rate Loan shall be converted to an Alternate Rate Loan, from, after and including the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to elect to convert an Alternate Rate Loan to a Prime Rate Loan.

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

(v) If at any time the Loan is outstanding as a Floating Interest Rate Loan and Lender has determined in good faith that LIBOR cannot be determined and LIBOR has been succeeded by an Alternate Index (an “Alternate Index Determination”), then the Loan shall be converted from a Floating Interest Rate Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan, provided that, following any rated Securitization, such conversion shall be subject to Lender’s receipt of: A) a REMIC Opinion as to the compliance of such conversion with the REMIC Requirements, and (B) a Rating Agency Confirmation in connection with such conversion (clauses (A) and (B), each an “Alternate Rate Condition”). Lender shall provide Borrower with written notice following the making of an Alternate Index Determination and, if any rated Securitization has occurred, shall promptly request the Rating Agency Confirmation described in clause (B) immediately above in the manner prescribed by the servicing agreement with respect to the Loan. Lender shall provide notice of (1) prior to any rated Securitization, the Alternate Index Determination and (2) following any rated Securitization and upon satisfaction of the Alternate Rate Condition, that the Alternate Rate Condition has been satisfied by giving notice of such determination in writing to Borrower at least two (2) Business Days prior to the next succeeding Determination Date. If such notice is given, the Loan shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, to an Alternate Rate Loan in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to convert a Floating Interest Rate Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan, or to convert an Alternate Rate Loan to a Floating Interest Rate Loan or a Prime Rate Loan.

Page 34

(E) Breakage Indemnity. Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender actually sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on a Floating Interest Rate Loan, including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to third-party lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a Floating Interest Rate Loan hereunder, (ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the Floating Interest Rate Loan on a day that (A) is not a Payment Date or (B) is a Payment Date if Borrower did not give the prior written notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, such actual loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to third-party lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Floating Interest Rate Loan hereunder and (iii) the conversion pursuant to the terms hereof of the Floating Interest Rate Loan to the Prime Rate Loan or an Alternate Rate Loan on a date other than the Payment Date, including, without limitation, such actual loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to third-party lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a Floating Interest Rate Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, Borrower shall not indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. This provision shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 2.3. Payments.

(A) Monthly Debt Service Payments. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall make a payment of interest only on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan for the period commencing on and including the Closing Date through and including February 14, 2019. On March 9, 2019 and each subsequent Payment Date thereafter up to and including the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount. For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating Interest Periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately succeeding Business Day and with respect to payments of principal of the Loan due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, through and including the last day of the related Interest Period. So long as no Event of Default exists, the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount will be applied pro rata and pari passu between Note A-1 and Note A-2. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount to the Note in any order or priority that Lender shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion.

(B) Date and Time of Payment. Borrower shall receive credit for payments on the Loan which are transferred to the account of Lender as provided below (i) on the day that such funds are received by Lender if such receipt occurs by 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on such day, or (ii) on the next succeeding Business Day after such funds are received by Lender if such receipt occurs after 3:00 p.m. (New York time). Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

(C) Manner of Payment. Borrower promises to pay all of the Obligations relating to the Loan as such amounts become due or are declared due pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. All payments by Borrower on the Loan or otherwise under the Loan Documents shall be made without deduction, defense, set off or counterclaim and in immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States of America at such place or places, including such account or accounts, as Lender shall from time to time designate.

(D) Change of Payment Date and Interest Period. Lender shall have the right, to be exercised not more than twice during the term of the Loan, by not less than thirty (30) days’ written notice to Borrower, to change the Payment Date for each month thereafter. The amount of interest (or principal

Page 35

and interest) due on each Payment Date as so rescheduled shall be the same as the amount of interest (or principal and interest) that shall have been due on each Payment Date as originally scheduled, except that for the month in which the first rescheduled Payment Date occurs, the payment due shall be adjusted to reflect the accrual of interest over the actual number of days elapsed from and including the prior Payment Date to the first rescheduled Payment Date. If the Payment Date is changed in accordance with the foregoing, then (i) the period from the last Payment Date which occurs as originally scheduled to the first rescheduled Payment Date shall constitute an Interest Period, and (ii) thereafter, an Interest Period shall begin on each rescheduled Payment Date and end on the day prior to the rescheduled Payment Date in the following calendar month, and (iii) at Lender’s option, the Maturity Date shall be changed within the same month as originally scheduled, to the day having the same numerical date as the rescheduled Payment Date in the preceding month.

Section 2.4. Maturity Date; Extensions.

(A) Borrower’s Extension Rights. Borrower shall have two consecutive options (each an “Extension Option”) to extend the scheduled Maturity Date for one year each (each twelve month period, referred to herein as an “Extension Period”), to the First Extended Maturity Date or Second Extended Maturity Date, as applicable. Each such Extension Option shall be exercised, if at all, only by Borrower’s delivering to Lender written notice duly executed by Borrower, stating that Borrower thereby exercises its option to extend the scheduled Maturity Date, which notice shall be received by Lender at least sixty (60) (but not more than ninety (90)) days prior to, as applicable, the Stated Maturity Date (with respect to the exercise of the first Extension Option) or the First Extended Maturity Date (with respect to the exercise of the second Extension Option). A separate written notice and Extension Fee (paid on or prior to the commencement of the Extension Period) shall be required for the exercise of each of the Extension Options. In addition to timely notice, the following shall be conditions to Borrower’s right to exercise each and every Extension Option:

(i) No Event of Default shall exist at the time when the extension notice is received by Lender, nor at any time thereafter through and including the Stated Maturity Date or the First Extended Maturity Date, as applicable;

(ii) In the case of: (x) the extension of the scheduled Maturity Date to the First Extended Maturity Date, the Debt Yield as reasonably determined by Lender as of the Stated Maturity Date, shall be not less than seven and one-half percent (7.5%) and (y) the extension of the scheduled Maturity Date from First Extended Maturity Date to the Second Extended Maturity Date, the Debt Yield as reasonably determined by Lender as of the First Extended Maturity Date, shall be not less than eight percent (8.0%);

(iii) Borrower shall pay to Lender the Extension Fee on or before the commencement of the applicable Extension Period;

(iv) Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender on the first day of each Extension Period, one or more Interest Rate Cap Agreements, which shall be an Interest Rate Cap Agreement from an Acceptable Counterparty in a notional amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan, which Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall have a Strike Price equal to the Extension Strike Price and be effective commencing not later than the first date of such Extension Term and shall have a maturity date not earlier than the First Extended Maturity Date or the Second Extended Maturity Date, as applicable, together with a new Assignment of Cap (which shall be consented to by the Acceptable Counterparty);

Page 36

(v) The second Extension Option to extend the scheduled Maturity Date to the Second Extended Maturity Date may not and shall not be exercisable or validly exercised unless the schedule Maturity Date shall have been extended to the first Extended Maturity Date;

(vi) If the Mortgage Loan is then outstanding, Mortgage Borrower shall have exercised the applicable extension option to extend the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Documents and the term of the Mortgage Loan shall have been extended in accordance therewith;

(vii) Borrower shall have reimbursed Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by Lender in connection with the requested extension; and

(viii) Borrower shall promptly provide such evidence of satisfaction of the conditions to such extension as Lender may reasonably require.

If Borrower does not satisfy the Debt Yield condition set forth in clause (ii) above with respect to any Extension Option, then Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied such condition if Borrower makes a prepayment of the Loan in accordance with Section 2.8(A) (together with any prepayment made by Mortgage Lender of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Agreement, provided that no prepayment of the Loan may be made without a contemporaneous pro rata prepayment of the Mortgage Loan) before the first day of the applicable Extension Period in the aggregate amount equal to or greater than the amount that is required to increase the Debt Yield to the minimum Debt Yield required pursuant to clause (ii) above.

If the Extension Option shall be validly exercised, but the extension shall not occur because any condition shall not be satisfied, then the Extension Fee shall be returned to Borrower so long as no Event of Default exists. Regardless of whether the extension conditions are satisfied, Borrower shall reimburse Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by Lender in connection with the requested extension.

(B) Obligation to Repay on Maturity Date. To the extent not sooner due and payable in accordance with the Loan Documents, the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other sums then owing to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

Section 2.5. Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence of an Event of Default and for so long as such Event of Default continues and in any event from and after the maturity of the Loan, the Loan and all other Obligations shall bear interest until paid in full at a rate per annum that is four percentage points (4.0%) in excess of the Interest Rate (the “Default Rate”). Application of the Default Rate shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or any rights or remedies of Lender under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or applicable legal requirements, or a consent to any extension of time for the payment or performance of any obligation with respect to which the Default Rate may be invoked.

Section 2.6. Late Charges. If any payment of principal, interest or other sums due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (other than the principal due on the Maturity Date) is not paid as and when due, Borrower shall pay to Lender, in addition to all sums otherwise due and payable, a late fee in an amount equal to the lesser of four percent (4.0%) of such principal, interest or other sums due hereunder and the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.

Section 2.7. Interest Rate Cap Agreement.

(A) Prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing Date, Borrower shall enter into an Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a strike price no greater than the Strike Price. The Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) shall at all times be in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender with respect to such matters not otherwise set forth in this Agreement, (ii) shall at all times be with an Acceptable Counterparty, (iii) shall direct such Acceptable Counterparty to deposit directly into the account designated in the Assignment of Cap and, during the continuance of an Event of Default, as directed by Lender, any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement, any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (iv) shall be for a term through the end of the Interest Period associated with the then-applicable Maturity Date of the Loan and (v) shall at all times have a notional amount equal to or greater than the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan and shall at all times provide for the applicable Strike Price. Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender, pursuant to the Assignment of Cap, all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and shall deliver to Lender an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Lender and require that payments be deposited directly into the account designated in the Assignment of Cap and, during the continuance of an Event of Default, as directed by Lender).

(B) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Acceptable Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrower or Lender shall be directly deposited immediately into the account designated in the Assignment of Cap and, during the continuance of an Event of Default, as directed by Lender. Borrower shall take all commercially reasonable actions requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Acceptable Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of Borrower’s rights thereunder.

(C) In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Acceptable Counterparty by any Rating Agency such that it is no longer an Acceptable Counterparty, Borrower shall replace or cause the cap provider to replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement not later than the period of time provided for in such Interest Rate Cap Agreement following such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification (not to exceed ten (10) Business Days), provided, Borrower shall not be required to replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement so long as within ten (10) Business Days of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification, the Acceptable Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement provides a guarantor of its obligations that is an Acceptable Counterparty pursuant to such terms as are acceptable to the Rating Agencies and Lender.

(D) Borrower shall deliver to Lender a new Assignment of Cap acceptable to Lender in connection with each new Interest Rate Cap Agreement and Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement (the parties agree that the form of the Assignment of Cap provided in connection with the closing of the Loan shall be deemed acceptable to Lender). In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or fails to maintain the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Lender may purchase the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the cost actually incurred by Lender in purchasing such 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 reimbursed by Borrower to Lender.

Page 38

(E) In connection with the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender within twenty (20) Business Days following (x) the date upon which an Interest Rate Cap Agreement is required pursuant to Section 2.7(A) or (y) the first day of any applicable Extension Term, as applicable, an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be in-house counsel for the Acceptable Counterparty) for the Acceptable Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, that:

(i) the Acceptable Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation 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 Acceptable Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Acceptable Counterparty 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 Acceptable Counterparty of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Acceptable Counterparty 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 Acceptable Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the Acceptable Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Acceptable Counterparty, enforceable against the Acceptable Counterparty 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).

(F) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.7 or elsewhere in this Agreement, if, at any time, the Loan is converted from a Floating Interest Rate Loan to either a Prime Rate Loan or an Alternate Rate Loan or from a Prime Rate Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan in accordance with Section 2.2(D) above (each, a “Rate Conversion”), then:

(i) within thirty (30) days after such Rate Conversion, Borrower shall either (A) enter into, make all payments under, and satisfy all conditions precedent to the effectiveness of, a Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement (and in connection therewith, but not prior to Borrower taking all the actions described in this clause (i), Borrower shall have the right to terminate any then-existing Interest Rate Cap Agreement) or (B) cause the then-existing Interest Rate Cap Agreement to be modified such that such then-existing Interest Rate Cap Agreement satisfies the requirements of a Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement as set forth below in the definition thereof (a “Converted Interest Rate Cap Agreement”); and

(ii) on or after such Rate Conversion (provided Lender has not converted the Loan back to a Floating Interest Rate Loan in accordance with Section 2.2(D) hereof), in lieu of satisfying the condition described in Section 2.4(A)(iv) with respect to any outstanding Extension Term, Borrower shall instead enter into, make all payments under, and satisfy all conditions precedent to the effectiveness of a Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement on or prior to the first day of such Extension Term.

Page 39

(G) As used herein, “Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement” shall mean an interest rate Cap Agreement between an Acceptable Counterparty and Borrower, obtained by Borrower and collaterally assigned to Lender pursuant to this Agreement and shall contain each of the following:

(i) a term expiring no earlier than through the end of the Interest Period associated with the then applicable Maturity Date;

(ii) the notional amount of the Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be equal to or greater than the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan;

(iii) it provides that the only obligation of Borrower thereunder is the making of a single payment to the Acceptable Counterparty thereunder upon the execution and delivery thereof;

(iv) it provides to Lender and Borrower (as determined by Lender in its sole but good faith discretion) for the term of the Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement, a hedge against rising interest rates that is no less beneficial to Borrower and Lender than (A) in the case of clause (F)(i) above, that which was provided by the Interest Rate Cap Agreement being replaced by the Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement and (B) in the case of clause (F)(ii) above, that which was intended to be provided by the Interest Rate Cap Agreement that, but for the operation of this Section 2.7(G), would have been required to have been delivered by Approved Counterparty pursuant to Section 2.4(A)(iv) below as a condition to the requested Extension Term; and

(v) without limiting any of the provisions of the preceding clauses (i) through (iv) above, it satisfies all of the requirements set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 2.7(A) hereof.

From and after the date of any Rate Conversion, all references to “Interest Rate Cap Agreement” and “Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement” herein (other than in the definition of “Interest Rate Cap Agreement”, the definition of “Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement” and as referenced in the first sentence of Section 2.7(A) hereof) shall be deemed to refer or relate, as applicable, to a Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement or a Converted Interest Rate Cap Agreement, as the case may be.

Section 2.8. Prepayment.

(A) Limitation on Prepayment and Voluntary Prepayment. Borrower shall have no right to prepay the Loan in whole or part at any time, except as expressly set forth herein. Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part on any Business Day only if all of the following conditions shall be satisfied:

(i) Borrower shall provide to Lender not less than thirty (30) and not more than ninety (90) days’ prior written notice of such prepayment specifying the date on which such prepayment will occur (it being agreed that such notice may be revoked by Borrower at any time prior to such prepayment);

(ii) any such prepayment shall include, and Borrower shall pay to Lender, all interest then having accrued and remaining outstanding calculated at the Interest Rate for the portion of the Loan being prepaid through and including the repayment date, together with an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued at the Interest Rate for the applicable portion of the Loan being prepaid through the end of the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs as if such prepayment had not occurred;

Page 40

(iii) Borrower shall pay all Breakage Costs (if any), and all other sums then due under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents;

(iv) Borrower shall pay to Lender the Spread Maintenance Premium, if such prepayment is made prior to the Spread Maintenance Date;

(v) if such prepayment is made during the period commencing on the first calendar day immediately following a Payment Date through and including the last day of the Interest Period ending in the calendar month in which such Payment Date occurs, Borrower also shall pay to Lender the amount of all interest that would have accrued on the amount of principal being prepaid 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 (the “Additional Interest”), calculated at (A) the Interest Rate if such prepayment occurs on or after the Determination Date for the Succeeding Interest Period or (B) if such prepayment occurs before the Determination Date for the Succeeding Interest Period, an interest rate (the “Assumed Note Rate”) equal to the sum of 0.25% plus the Interest Rate as determined on the preceding Determination Date, provided that if the Additional Interest was calculated based upon the Assumed Note Rate, upon determination of the Interest Rate on the Determination Date for the Succeeding Interest Period, (x) if the Interest Rate for such Succeeding Interest Period is less than the Assumed Note Rate, Lender shall promptly refund to Borrower a portion of the Additional Interest paid, calculated at a rate equal to the difference between the Assumed Note Rate and the Interest Rate for such Interest Period, or (y) 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 Additional Interest calculated at a rate equal to the rate by which the Interest Rate exceeds the Assumed Note Rate; and

(vi) with any such prepayment of the Loan, there is a simultaneous pro rata prepayment of the Mortgage Loan.

If, after giving notice of its intention to prepay, Borrower does not prepay the Loan in whole or in part in accordance herewith within thirty (30) days of the date specified in such notice or Borrower revokes such notice of prepayment, then such notice shall lapse, and Borrower shall thereafter have the right to give another notice of its intention to prepay; provided, that Borrower shall pay Lender all of the actual, reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) as a result of such failure to prepay, and any Breakage Costs. No principal amount repaid may be re-borrowed.

(B) Spread Maintenance Prepayment Premium Due Generally. If any prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan shall occur before the Spread Maintenance Date, whether such prepayment is voluntary, involuntary, on account of acceleration of the Loan (whether or not due to an Event of Default), or otherwise, then Borrower shall pay the Spread Maintenance Premium to Lender (as and to the extent provided in this Agreement) together with such prepayment, in addition to all other amounts due and owing to Lender as provided under this Agreement. This provision does not create any right to prepay the Loan in whole or part, whether or not the Spread Maintenance Premium is paid together therewith, at any time or in any circumstances where this Agreement does not expressly state that such a right exists.

(C) Mandatory Prepayments. In the event of (i) any Casualty to all or any portion of any Individual Property, (ii) any Condemnation of all or any portion of any Individual Property, (iii) a Transfer of any Individual Property in connection with realization thereon by Mortgage Lender following

Page 41

a Mortgage Loan Event of Default, including without limitation a foreclosure sale, (iv) any refinancing of the Property or the Mortgage Loan, (v) the receipt by Mortgage Borrower of any excess proceeds realized under its Title Policy after application of such proceeds by Mortgage Borrower to cure any title defect or (vi) the receipt by Mortgage Borrower of any excess proceeds realized pursuant to a lawsuit, claim or other proceeding brought to enforce its rights under a warranty deed after application of such proceeds by Mortgage Borrower to cure any title defect (each, a “Liquidation Event”), Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Loan in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the applicable Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service. Such application shall be made in accordance with Section 2.8(A) hereof, provided that (i) no notice of such prepayment shall be required of Borrower and (ii) no Spread Maintenance Premium will be due with respect to any prepayment of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service consisting of Excess Net Proceeds. Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of any Liquidation Event once Borrower has knowledge of such event. Borrower shall be deemed to have knowledge of (x) a sale (other than a foreclosure sale) of any Individual Property on the date on which a contract of sale for such sale is entered into, and a foreclosure sale, on the date notice of such foreclosure sale is given, and (y) a refinancing of any Individual Property, on the date on which a commitment for such refinancing has been entered into. The provisions of this Section 2.8(C) shall not be construed to contravene in any manner the restrictions and other provisions regarding refinancing of the Mortgage Loan or Transfer of the Property or the Collateral set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(D) Prepayments After Default. If, during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Obligations is tendered by Borrower and accepted by Lender or is otherwise recovered by Lender (including through application of any Substitute Reserve Funds), such tender or recovery shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment by Borrower and Borrower shall pay, as part of the Obligations, all of the following: (i) all interest then having accrued and remaining outstanding calculated at the Default Rate for the portion of the Loan being prepaid through and including such repayment date together with an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued at the Interest Rate for the portion of the Loan being prepaid through the end of the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs as if such prepayment had not occurred; (ii) the Additional Interest, if applicable, with respect to the amount prepaid; (iii) Breakage Costs, if any; and (iv) an amount equal to the Spread Maintenance Premium (if made before the Spread Maintenance Date). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during the continuance of any Event of Default, any payment of principal, interest or other amounts from whatever source may be applied by Lender among the Note and other Obligations in Lender’s sole discretion.

(E) Application of Prepayments. Provided no Event of Default is continuing, any voluntary or mandatary prepayment of principal (or portion thereof) shall be applied by Lender pro rata and pari passu between Note A-1 and Note A-2. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during the continuance of any Event of Default, any payment of principal, interest or other amounts from whatever source may be applied by Lender among the Note and other Obligations in Lender’s sole discretion.

Section 2.9. Outstanding Balance. The balance on Lender’s books and records shall be presumptive evidence (absent manifest error) of the amounts owing to Lender by Borrower; provided that any failure to record any transaction affecting such balance or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect Borrower’s obligation to pay the Obligations.

Section 2.10. Taxes.

(A) Gross-Up. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any and all Taxes. If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Co-Lender, then (i) if such Tax is an Indemnifiable

Tax, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.10), such Co-Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings, (iii) such Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) Borrower shall furnish to such Co-Lender the original copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority (or upon notification by Borrower to such Co-Lender that a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority is not available, such other evidence as is requested and is reasonably satisfactory to such Co-Lender) evidencing payment thereof as soon as practicable, but in any event no more than ten (10) days after such payment is made.

(B) Other Taxes. In addition, the Loan Parties hereby agree to timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(C) Indemnification. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Co-Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnifiable Taxes payable or paid by such Co-Lender, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Co-Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnifiable Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by such Co-Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. As soon as practicable, but in any event no more than ten (10) days after any payment of Indemnifiable Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party to any Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to each Co-Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Co-Lender.

(D) Tax Certificates. (i) Any Co-Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Co-Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Borrower to determine whether or not such Co-Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (D)(ii)(a), (ii)(b) and (ii)(d) of this Section) shall not be required if in the Co-Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Co-Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Co-Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,

Page 43

(1) in the case of a Foreign Co-Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Co-Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the IRC, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to the effect that such Foreign Co-Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the IRC, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Co-Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit D-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Co-Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Co-Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Co-Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

Page 44

Each Co-Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(E) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (E) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (E), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (E) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(F) Change in Law. (i) If any Change in Law shall:

(a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Co-Lender;

(b) subject any Co-Lender to any Taxes (other than (1) Indemnifiable Taxes, (2) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (3) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

Page 45

(c) impose on any Co-Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Co-Lender or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Co-Lender of making, continuing or maintaining any Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Co-Lender in connection with the Loan (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Co-Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Co-Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Co-Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered as a consequence of this Agreement.

(ii) If any Co-Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Co-Lender or any lending office of such Co-Lender or such Co-Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Co-Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Co-Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, to a level below that which such Co-Lender or such Co-Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Co-Lender’s policies and the policies of such Co-Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Co-Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Co-Lender or such Co-Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered as a consequence of this Agreement.

(iii) A certificate of a Co-Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Co-Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (i) or (ii) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Co-Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(iv) Failure or delay on the part of any Co-Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Co-Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Co-Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Co-Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Co-Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof), and a Co-Lender shall not require any such compensation from Borrower hereunder unless Lender is requiring same from similar situated fixed rate commercial real estate borrowers.

(G) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, any Co-Lender, the payment of the Loan, the release of the Liens created under the Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 2.11. Funding of the Loan on the Closing Date; Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall be effective only upon the funding of the Loan by Lender on the Closing Date.

Section 2.12. Reasonableness of Charges. Borrower agrees that (i) the actual costs and damages that Lender would suffer by reason of an Event of Default (exclusive of the attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in connection with enforcement of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents) or a prepayment would be difficult and needlessly expensive to calculate and establish, and (ii) the amounts of the Default Rate, the late charges, and the Spread Maintenance Premium are reasonable, taking into consideration the circumstances known to the parties at this time, and (iii) such Default Rate, late charges,

Page 46

Spread Maintenance Premium and Lender’s attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with enforcement of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents shall be due and payable as provided herein, and (iv) such Default Rate, late charges, Spread Maintenance Premium, and the obligation to pay Lender’s attorneys’ fees and other enforcement costs do not, individually or collectively, constitute a penalty.

Section 2.13. Release of Individual Properties. Subject to satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth below with respect to any Individual Property (the “Release Conditions”), the sale or transfer of an Individual Property by an Individual Mortgage Borrower (each a “Release Property”) and the release of such Release Property from the Lien of the applicable Security Instrument and related Mortgage Loan Documents shall be permitted (each release under this Section 2.13, a “Property Release”):

(A) Borrower shall deliver (or cause Mortgage Borrower to deliver) a written notice (a “Property Release Notice”) to Lender of Mortgage Borrower’s desire to effect such Property Release no later than thirty (30) days prior to the date of such desired Property Release, and setting forth the Business Day (the “Release Date”) on which Mortgage Borrower desires that Mortgage Lender release its interest in such Release Property, which Business Day need not be a Monthly Payment Date;

(B) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date on which Borrower delivers (or causes Mortgage Borrower to deliver) the Property Release Notice or on the Release Date;

(C) Borrower prepays the Loan in the amount of the applicable Release Amount and pays to Lender all other amounts required pursuant to Section 2.8(A);

(D) after giving effect to such Property Release (and all prior Property Releases, if any), (i) the Debt Yield, as of the Release Date for all of the Individual Properties then remaining subject to the Liens of the Security Interests, shall not be less than the greater of (a) the “Closing Date Debt Yield” identified in the Information Schedule and (b) the Debt Yield immediately prior to such Property Release;

(E) the Release Property is simultaneously transferred pursuant to an all-cash (as to the applicable Individual Mortgage Borrower) sale on arms-length terms and conditions to either (i) a third party Person that is not an Affiliate of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or Guarantor or (ii) to an Affiliate of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or Guarantor;

(F) intentionally omitted;

(G) following such Property Release, (i) Borrower shall continue to be a SPE Bankruptcy Remote Entity and comply with all provisions of the Loan Documents pertaining to a SPE Bankruptcy Remote Entity in all material respects, (ii) each remaining Individual Mortgage Borrower shall continue to be a SPE Bankruptcy Remote Entity (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) and comply with all provisions of the Mortgage Loan Documents pertaining to a SPE Bankruptcy Remote Entity (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) in all material respects, taking into account such Property Release, and (iii) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender an Additional Insolvency Opinion upon written request of Lender if Lender reasonably determines that such Property Release results in a change in the required “pairings” analyzed in the Insolvency Opinion delivered in connection with the Loan;

(H) If such Release Property is managed under the Management Agreement that also pertains to any other Individual Property, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to (i) to the extent required under any Management Agreement, enter into an acknowledgement of such Property Release with the applicable Property Manager, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, in order to cause

Page 47

such Release Property to be removed from the such Management Agreement, and shall pay all amounts and satisfy all other conditions under such Management Agreement to effect such removal, and (ii) deliver to Lender a written confirmation from the applicable Property Manager, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, that all such amounts have been paid or provided for and all such other conditions have been satisfied;

(I) in connection with any Property Release under this Section 2.13, in the event that such release would result in the release of all Individual Properties held by an Individual Mortgage Borrower (each an “Unencumbered Mortgage Borrower”), Borrower shall not permit such Individual Mortgage Borrower to acquire any additional property or assets without the prior written consent of Lender and Borrower shall cause such Individual Mortgage Borrower to otherwise remain a SPE Bankruptcy Remote Entity (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement);

(J) if the account referenced in the then-applicable Assignment of Cap and/or Interest Rate Cap Agreement as the account to which payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement are to be made by the Counterparty thereunder (the “Counterparty Payment Account”) is an account pertaining to the Unencumbered Mortgage Borrower or the Release Property, Borrower shall amend the Assignment of Cap (and, if applicable, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement), and obtain the execution and delivery of the Counterparty to such amendment, in order to change such account to the Clearing Account (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) of one of the remaining Individual Mortgage Borrowers, pursuant to an amendment reasonably approved by Lender;

(K) if the Mortgage Loan is outstanding, concurrently with the consummation of the Property Release, Mortgage Borrower shall have consummated a Mortgage Property Release with respect to such Release Property in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and Borrower shall have delivered, or cause to be delivered, to Lender evidence thereof reasonably satisfactory to Lender; and

(L) Borrower shall have paid (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by Lender and/or its Servicer in connection with such Property Release, (ii) all recording, transfer, filing fees, taxes and other third-party expenses payable in connection with the Property Release, (iii) all costs and expenses of any Rating Agencies, and (iv) the current reasonable and customary fee being assessed by Lender and/or its Servicer to effect such Property Release.

ARTICLE III

CASH MANAGEMENT

Section 3.1. Cash Management Arrangements.

(A) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to comply with the Mortgage Loan Cash Management Provisions (including, without limitation, Article III of the Mortgage Loan Agreement) and not, without Lender’s prior consent, permit Mortgage Borrower to amend, restate, replace and/or otherwise modify the same in any material respect. Upon written request of Lender, Borrower will promptly provide evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender of its compliance with the foregoing. All transfers of funds from the Cash Management Account or other sources to or for the benefit of Lender or Borrower pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Agreement or any of the other Mortgage Loan Documents in which Mortgage Borrower has an interest in are intended by Borrower and Mortgage Borrower to constitute and shall constitute distributions from Mortgage Borrower to Borrower of such funds.

Page 48

(B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if at any time and/or for any reason, any Mortgage Loan Cash Management Accounts are no longer being maintained and/or the Mortgage Loan Cash Management Provisions cease to exist or are reduced, waived or modified (in each case, including, without limitation, due to any waiver or amendment to the Mortgage Loan Documents or any repayment or refinance of the Mortgage Loan) (such accounts, the “Waived Cash Management Accounts” and such provisions, the “Waived Cash Management Provisions”), Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of the same and, upon Lender’s written request (i) establish and maintain with Lender and for the benefit of Lender in replacement and substitution thereof, substitute accounts (the “Substitute Cash Management Accounts”), which Substitute Cash Management Accounts shall be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Mortgage Loan Cash Management Provisions, (ii) execute any amendments to this Agreement and/or Loan Documents implementing the Waived Cash Management Provisions as may be reasonably required by Lender, which shall be substantially similar to the applicable Mortgage Loan Cash Management Provisions (including, without limitation, those contained in the Cash Management Agreement) and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to acknowledge and agree to the same and (iii) remit to Lender (and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to remit to Lender) any funds remaining in the Waived Cash Management Accounts.

Section 3.2. Payments Received Under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower’s obligations with respect to the monthly payment of Debt Service and amounts due for the Substitute Reserve Funds shall (provided Lender is not prohibited from withdrawing or applying any funds in the applicable Accounts by operation of law or otherwise) be deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient amounts are deposited in applicable Accounts to satisfy such obligations on the dates each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by Lender.

ARTICLE IV

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce Lender to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loan to Borrower, Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender that the statements set forth in this Article are true and correct as of the Closing, subject only to such exceptions and qualifications as are expressly set forth in this Article and in the Schedules attached hereto.

Section 4.1. Organization, Powers, Capitalization, Good Standing, Business.

(A) Organization, Powers. Borrower, each Individual Mortgage Borrower and Guarantor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of organization. Each such entity has all requisite power and authority to own and operate its properties, to carry on its business as now conducted and proposed to be conducted, and to enter into each Loan Document to which it is a party and to incur and perform its obligations thereunder. The organizational chart set forth as Schedule 4.1(A) (i) accurately discloses the ownership structures of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower and Guarantor shown thereon and (ii) shows all Persons that (a) own ten percent (10%) or more of the direct or indirect ownership interests in Borrower, and (b) Control Borrower. Borrower has the organizational power and authority and requisite ownership interests to control the actions of Mortgage Borrower, and upon the realization of the Pledged Collateral under the Pledge Agreement, Lender or any party succeeding to the Borrower’s interest in the Pledged Collateral described in the Pledge Agreement would have such control. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower has sufficient control over Mortgage Borrower to cause Mortgage Borrower to (i) take any action on Mortgage Borrower’s part required by the Loan Documents and (ii) refrain from taking any action prohibited by the Loan Documents.

Page 49

(B) Qualification. Each Individual Mortgage Borrower is duly qualified and in good standing in the state where its applicable Individual Property is located. In addition, Borrower and each other Borrower Party is duly qualified and in good standing in each state where necessary to carry on its present business and operations.

Section 4.2. Authorization of Borrowing, etc.

(A) Authorization of Borrowing. Borrower has the power and authority to incur the Indebtedness evidenced by the Note. The execution, delivery and performance by each of Borrower and Guarantor of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary partnership, limited liability company, trustee, corporate or other action, as the case may be.

(B) No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower and Guarantor of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not: (1) to Borrower’s knowledge, violate any provision of law applicable to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or Guarantor; (2) violate the partnership agreement, certificate of limited partnership, certificate of incorporation, bylaws, declaration of trust, certificate of organization, operating agreement or other organizational documents, as the case may be, of Borrower, any Individual Mortgage Borrower or Guarantor; (3) violate any order, judgment or decree of any court or other agency of government binding on Borrower, any Individual Mortgage Borrower or Guarantor; (4) to Borrower’s knowledge, conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any Contractual Obligation of Borrower, any Individual Mortgage Borrower or Guarantor; (5) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than the Liens of the Loan Documents) upon the property or the assets of Borrower, any Individual Mortgage Borrower or Guarantor; or (6) require any approval or consent of any Person, other than approvals or consents which have been obtained.

(C) Governmental Consents. The execution, delivery and performance by each of Borrower and Guarantor of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not require, to Borrower’s knowledge, any registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to, with or by, any federal, state or other governmental authority or regulatory body, except for the filings and recordings required in connection with the creation or perfection of any other security interests with respect to the Collateral granted under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

(D) Binding Obligations; No Offset, Defense or Claims. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute legally valid and binding obligations of each of Borrower and Guarantor having executed the same, enforceable against Borrower and Guarantor, as applicable, in accordance with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other similar laws affecting creditor’s rights generally. Neither Borrower nor Guarantor has any defense, counterclaim, rescission, or offset to any of its obligations under the Loan Documents. Neither Borrower nor Guarantor has any claim against Lender or any Affiliate of Lender.

Section 4.3. Financial Information.

(A) Financial Statements. All financial data, including, without limitation, the financial statements, balance sheets, statements of cash flow, and statements of income and operating expense concerning Borrower, Mortgage or Guarantor or the Collateral or the Property that have been furnished to Lender in connection with this transaction (i) have been or will be prepared in accordance with GAAP (or in accordance with tax accounting principles, if therein specified), consistently applied (except

Page 50

as disclosed therein), (ii) are (or will be as to those statements that are not yet due) true, complete and correct in all material respects and (iii) do (or will, as to those statements that are not yet due) present fairly and accurately the financial condition of the Persons covered thereby as at the dates thereof and the results of their operations for the periods then ended. Since the date of the most recent financial statements of Borrower, Mortgage, Guarantor, the Collateral and the Property delivered to Lender, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower, Mortgage or Guarantor or the Collateral or the Property from that set forth in said financial statements. Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to it and reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements.

(B) Disclosure. No financial statements, Loan Document or any other document, certificate or written statement furnished to Lender by Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or Guarantor and, to the knowledge of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or Guarantor, no document or statement furnished by any third party on behalf of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or Guarantor, for use in connection with the Loan contains any untrue representation, warranty or statement of a material fact, and none omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of the Closing Date, there has been no material adverse change in any condition, fact, circumstance or event that would make any such information inaccurate, incomplete or otherwise misleading in any material respect or that otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no material fact known to Borrower that has had or will have a Material Adverse Effect and that has not been disclosed in writing to Lender by Borrower.

(C) Solvency. Neither Borrower nor Guarantor has entered into the transaction or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and each of Borrower and Guarantor has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the fair market value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent Indebtedness. The fair market value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its Indebtedness as any such Indebtedness that is contingent becomes absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not constitute and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out Borrower’s business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur Indebtedness and liabilities beyond its ability to pay such Indebtedness and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).

Section 4.4. Indebtedness. No Borrower shall have any Indebtedness except for the Permitted Indebtedness.

Section 4.5. Title to Property. Mortgage Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the Property, free and clear of all Liens except for the Permitted Encumbrances. Borrower owns the Collateral free and clear of all Liens whatsoever (other than the Liens created by the Loan Documents). Mortgage Borrower owns and will own at all times all furnishings, fixtures, equipment, and personal property used in connection with the Property other than personal property which is leased by Mortgage Borrower or owned or leased by tenants of the Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and to the replacement of obsolete personal property on each Property. There are no pending proceedings in condemnation or eminent domain affecting any Individual Property, and to the knowledge of Borrower none is threatened. No Person has any option, right of refusal, or other right to purchase all or any portion

Page 51

of any Individual Property or any interest therein, except as set forth in Schedule 4.5. There are no mechanic’s, materialman’s or other similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or materials affecting any Individual Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the Security Instrument (and, to Borrower’s knowledge, no rights are outstanding that under applicable Legal Requirements could give rise to any such liens). None of the Permitted Encumbrances, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely (i) affect the value of any Individual Property or the Collateral, (ii) impair the use or operations of any Individual Property or (iii) impair Borrower’s ability to pay its obligations in a timely manner. The Pledge Agreement, together with the UCC financing statements, when filed in the appropriate records, and the delivery to Lender of the original certificates representing ownership of the Pledged Collateral, will create a valid, perfected first priority security interest in and to such Pledged Collateral, all in accordance with the terms thereof. For so long as the Liens of the Pledge Agreement are outstanding, Borrower shall forever warrant, defend and preserve such title and the validity and priority of the Liens of the Pledge Agreement and shall forever warrant and defend such title, validity and priority to Lender against the claims of all persons whomsoever.

Section 4.6. Zoning; Compliance with Laws. Except as set forth in the Zoning Report, (i) the zoning for each Individual Property is consistent in all material respects with its current use (or such use constitutes a legal nonconforming use), (ii) each Individual Property contains sufficient parking spaces to satisfy all requirements in all material respects imposed by applicable Legal Requirements with respect to parking, (iii) no legal proceedings are pending or threatened in writing with respect to the compliance of the Property with the Legal Requirements. To Borrower’s knowledge, neither the zoning compliance nor any other right to use or operate each Individual Property is in any way dependent upon or related to any real estate other than such Individual Property and validly created, existing appurtenant perpetual easements insured in the applicable Title Policy. Except as set forth in the Zoning Report, to Borrower’s knowledge, if all or any part of the Improvements located on each Individual Property are destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without violating any zoning or other Legal Requirements applicable thereto and without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special permits, other than customary demolition, building and other construction related permits. To Borrower’s knowledge, no legal proceedings are pending or threatened in writing with respect to the zoning of the Property. Except as set forth in the Zoning Report, each Individual Property and the intended use thereof comply in all material respects with all Legal Requirements, including all applicable zoning, subdivision, parking laws, applicable land use laws, regulations and ordinances, all applicable health, fire, building codes and all other laws, statutes, codes, ordinances, rules and regulations applicable to such Individual Property, including without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act. To Borrower’s knowledge, no portion of the Property has been by Borrower or any Individual Mortgage Borrower purchased, improved, equipped, fixtured or furnished with proceeds of any criminal or other illegal activity and to Borrower’s knowledge there are no illegal activities relating to controlled substances on any Individual Property. Except as set forth in the Zoning Report, all material permits, licenses and certificates for the construction, lawful use and operation of each Individual Property have been obtained or will be obtained as and when required by law, and those obtained as of the date hereof are current and in full force and effect, and to Borrower’s knowledge there is no default in any material respect thereunder by any party thereto and no event has occurred that, with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice would constitute a default thereunder.

Section 4.7. Leases; Agreements.

(A) Material Agreements. Borrower has provided (or caused Mortgage Borrower to provide) Lender with true and complete copies of all Material Contracts pertaining to the Property, including, the existing Management Agreement. Each Material Contract is in full force and effect in all material respects. Neither Borrower, Mortgage Borrower nor Guarantor is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any Contractual

Page 52

Obligation of any such Person which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and to Borrower’s knowledge, no condition exists that, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default. Except as contemplated by the existing Management Agreement, no Person has any right or obligation to manage the Property or to receive compensation in connection with such management. Except for the Loan Documents, none of the Borrower Parties is a party to or bound by, nor is any property of such Person subject to or bound by, any contract or other agreement which restricts such Person’s ability to conduct its business in the ordinary course or has a Material Adverse Effect or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which it is bound that would require the subordination in right of payment of any of its obligations hereunder or under the Note to an obligation owed to another Person.

(B) Closing Rent Roll, Disclosure. A true and correct copy of the rent roll (the “Closing Rent Roll”) for the Property as of January 18, 2019 is attached hereto as Schedule 4.7(B). The Closing Rent Roll constitutes a true, correct, and complete in all material respects list of each and every Lease, and accurately and completely discloses in all material respects all annual and monthly rents payable by all Tenants under Leases.

Neither Borrower nor Mortgage Borrower has received written notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defects or inadequacies in the Property in any material respect, or any part thereof, which have not been cured and which would materially adversely affect the insurability of the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or of any termination or threatened termination of any policy of insurance or bond.

No Borrower Party or any Person described in this Section has been charged, indicted or convicted, or to Borrower’s knowledge are currently under the threat of charge, indictment or conviction, for any felony. To Borrower’s knowledge, neither Borrower nor any Individual Mortgage Borrower has committed any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture as against any Individual Property, the Collateral or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents or in performance of Mortgage Borrower’s obligations under the Mortgage Loan Documents.

(G) If, at the time a Disclosure Document is being prepared for a Securitization, Lender expects that Borrower alone or Borrower and one or more Affiliates of Borrower collectively, or the Property alone or the Property and Related Properties collectively, will be a Significant Obligor, Borrower shall furnish to Lender upon request (i) the selected financial data or, if applicable, Net Operating Income for Mortgage Borrower and the Property for the most recent fiscal year and interim period (or such longer period as may be required by Regulation S-K if the Loan is not treated as a non-recourse loan under Instruction 3 for Item 1101(k) of Regulation AB) meeting the requirements and covering the time periods specified in Section 301 of Regulation S-K and Item 1112 of Regulation AB, in each case as and to the extent such data is required with respect to Borrower thereunder, and (ii) the financial statements required under Item 1112(b)(2) of Regulation AB, , in each case as and to the extent such data is required with respect to Borrower thereunder.

All financial data and financial statements provided by Borrower hereunder shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, and shall meet the requirements of Regulation S-K or Regulation S-X, as applicable, Regulation AB and other applicable legal requirements.

In the event Lender reasonably determines, in connection with a Securitization, that the financial data and financial statements required in order to comply with Regulation S-K or Regulation S-X, as applicable, or Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto are other than as provided herein, then notwithstanding the provisions of this

Page 61

ARTICLE VI

INSURANCE, CASUALTY, CONDEMNATION

Section 6.1. Maintenance of Insurance.

(A) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to (i) maintain at all times during the term of Loan the insurance required under Section 6.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement (including, without limitation, Schedule 6.1 thereof) under valid and enforceable policies (the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), including, without limitation, meeting all insurer requirements thereunder and (ii) otherwise satisfy all covenants related thereto as provided in the Mortgage Loan Agreement. In addition, subject to the prior rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan, Borrower shall cause Lender to be included as certificate holder on property and liability certificates of insurance and included as loss payee on the property insurance policies and as an additional insured on all liability policies. Borrower shall also cause all the property policies to contain clauses or endorsements which provide such policies shall not be cancelled without at least 30 days’ written notice to Lender, except ten (10) days’ notice for non-payment of premium. Not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies, Borrower shall deliver (or cause Mortgage Borrower to deliver) complete copies of the Policies marked “premium paid” or accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), provided, however, that in the case of renewal Policies, Borrower may furnish (or cause Mortgage Borrower to furnish) Lender with binders and ▇▇▇▇▇ Form 28 Certificates therefor to be followed by the original Policies when issued.

Page 63

(B) By no later than five (5) days following the expiration date of any Policies, Borrower shall furnish (or cause Mortgage Lender to furnish) to Lender a statement certified by Mortgage Borrower of the amounts of insurance maintained in compliance herewith, of the risks covered by such insurance and of the insurance company or companies which carry such insurance and, if requested by Lender, verification of the adequacy of such insurance by an independent insurance broker or appraiser acceptable to Lender. Without limitation of the foregoing, Borrower shall also comply and cause Mortgage Borrower to comply with the foregoing within ten (10) days of written request of Lender. Borrower shall promptly forward to Lender a copy of each written notice received by any Borrower Party of any modification, reduction or cancellation of any of the Policies or of any of the coverages afforded under any of the Policies.

(C) Borrower is hereby notified that unless Borrower provides (or causes Mortgage Borrower to provide) Lender with evidence acceptable in form to Lender of the insurance coverage required hereunder, Lender may purchase insurance at Borrower’s expense to protect Lender’s interests in the Collateral, which insurance may, but need not, protect the interests of Borrower or Mortgage Borrower. The coverage purchased by Lender may not pay any claim made by Mortgage Borrower or Borrower or any claim made against Mortgage Borrower or Borrower in connection with the Property or the Collateral. Borrower may later cancel (or cause Mortgage Borrower to cancel) any insurance purchased by Lender, but only after providing Lender with evidence that Borrower has obtained (or caused Mortgage Borrower to obtain) the insurance as required hereunder. If Lender purchases insurance, Borrower will be responsible for the costs of such insurance, including interest and any other charges imposed in connection with the placement of the insurance, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be added to the total obligation secured by this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents. .

(D) For the purposes of this Agreement and subject to Section 6.2(D)(ii) hereof, Lender shall have the same approval rights over the insurance referred to in the Mortgage Loan Agreement (including, without limitation, the insurers, deductibles and coverages thereunder, as well as the right to require other reasonable insurance pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement) as are provided in favor of Mortgage Lender in the Mortgage Loan Agreement. All liability insurance provided for in the Mortgage Loan Agreement shall provide insurance with respect to the liabilities of both the Borrower and Mortgage Borrower. The Policies delivered pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Agreement shall include endorsements of the type described in described in Section 6.1 thereof.

Section 6.2. Casualty and Condemnation.

(A) In the event of Casualty or Condemnation at any Individual Property (other than non-material Casualty at an Individual Property involving damages of less than $100,000, when aggregated with any other then unrestored Casualty damage at the applicable Individual Property), Borrower shall (or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to) give prompt written notice of the same to the insurance carrier and to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion, in accordance with the terms hereof, the repair and restoration of such Individual Property as nearly as possible to the condition of such Individual Property prior to the casualty or loss (a “Restoration”). Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to pay all costs of the Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds. Lender may, subject to the rights of Mortgage Lender, participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies concerning a Casualty, and any settlement discussions with any Governmental Authority with respect to a Condemnation (and shall have the right to approve any

Page 64

final settlement with respect to either) with respect to any Casualty or Condemnation in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are reasonably expected to exceed the Net Proceeds Threshold (and otherwise if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). Borrower shall and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to execute and deliver to Lender all instruments reasonably required by Lender to permit such participation. With respect to any Casualty or Condemnation in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are reasonably expected to exceed the Net Proceeds Threshold (and otherwise if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), any Net Proceeds in connection with any Casualty shall be due and payable solely to Mortgage Lender and held by Mortgage Lender in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, subject to Section 6.2(D)(ii) below.

(B) If Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds are applied to the payment of the Obligations, any such application of proceeds to principal shall not extend or postpone the due dates of the monthly payments due under the Note or otherwise under the Loan Documents, or change the amounts of such payments. Any amount of Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds remaining in Lender’s possession after full and final payment and discharge of all Obligations shall be refunded to Borrower. If any Individual Property is sold at foreclosure or otherwise acquired, subject to the rights of Mortgage Lender, Lender shall have all of the right, title and interest of Mortgage Borrower in and to any Insurance Proceeds, and in and to the proceeds resulting from any damage to the applicable Individual Property prior to such sale or acquisition, in each case if and to the extent not previously applied to the Obligations or Restoration of the Individual Property.

(C) Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give (or cause Mortgage Borrower to promptly give) Lender notice of the actual or threatened in writing commencement of any proceeding in respect of Condemnation, and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Subject to the rights of Mortgage Lender, for Condemnations in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are reasonably expected to exceed the Net Proceeds Threshold (and otherwise if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall and shall cause Mortgage Borrower from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments reasonably requested by Lender to permit such participation. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and for Condemnations in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are reasonably expected to exceed the Net Proceeds Threshold (and otherwise if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), 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 perform the Obligations at the time and in the manner provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Obligations shall not be reduced until any Condemnation Proceeds shall have been actually received and applied by Lender to the reduction or discharge of the Obligations. Subject to the rights of Mortgage Lender, Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the award by the applicable Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If any Individual Property or any portion thereof is taken by a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to promptly commence and diligently prosecute Restoration and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. If the applicable Individual Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the award, Lender shall have the right, subject to the rights of Mortgage Lender, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the award, in each case if and to the extent not previously applied to the Obligations or Restoration of the Individual Property.

(i) Borrower shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to, deliver to Lender all reports, plans, specifications, documents and other materials that are delivered to Mortgage Lender under Section 6.2 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement in connection with a Restoration of an Individual Property after a Casualty or Condemnation. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to comply with the terms and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Documents relating to Restoration. If the Net Proceeds are to be disbursed by Mortgage Lender for Restoration, Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender copies of all written correspondence of a material nature delivered to and received from Mortgage Lender that relates to the Restoration and the release of the Net Proceeds.

(ii) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Net Proceeds shall be made available to Mortgage Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. In the event that the Mortgage Loan has been paid in full or if at any time and for any reason the Mortgage Loan Restoration Provisions cease to exist or are waived or modified in any material respect (in each case, including, without limitation, due to any waiver, amendment or refinance) (such provisions, the “Waived Restoration Provisions”), to the extent permitted to do so pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents (if applicable), Borrower shall promptly (i) execute any amendments to this Agreement and/or the Loan Documents implementing the Waived Restoration Provisions as may be reasonably required by Lender (provided such amendments are substantially similar to the provisions set forth in the Mortgage Loan Agreement relating to the same) and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to acknowledge and agree to the same and (ii) remit to Lender (and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to remit to Lender) any Net Proceeds related to the Waived Restoration Provisions.

(E) For the purposes of this Article VI, Borrower shall obtain the approval of Lender for each matter requiring the approval of Mortgage Lender under the provisions of Article VI of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. If the Mortgage Lender does not require the deposit by Mortgage Borrower of the Net Proceeds Deficiency (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) pursuant to Section 6.2(E) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Lender shall have the right to demand that Borrower make a deposit of such amounts in accordance with the terms of such Section 6.2(E).

Section 6.3. Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall reimburse Lender within ten (10) Business Days after written demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in connection with any Casualty or any threatened in writing or actual Condemnation or any contemplated in writing or actual transaction in lieu of Condemnation, including without limitation any such reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in connection with any application or claim for Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds and any Restoration.

RESERVES

Section 8.1. Reserves.

(A) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to deposit and maintain each of the Mortgage Reserve Funds as required under the Mortgage Loan Documents and to perform and comply with all the terms and provisions relating thereto. Upon request of Lender, Borrower will promptly provide evidence acceptable to Lender of compliance with the foregoing.

(B) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if at any time and/or for any reason any Mortgage Reserve Funds are no longer being maintained in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Documents and/or are reduced, waived or modified (in each case, including, without limitation, due to any waiver or amendment to the Mortgage Loan Documents or any repayment or refinance of the Mortgage Loan (any such Mortgage Reserve Funds, the “Waived Reserve Funds”)), Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of same and, if requested by Lender in writing, (i) establish and maintain with Lender and for the benefit of Lender reserves in substitution thereof (the “Substitute Reserve Funds”), which Substitute Reserve Funds shall be made by Borrower and disbursed by Lender substantially, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of such applicable sections of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, (ii) execute any amendments to this Agreement and/or the Loan Documents relating to the Substitute Reserve Funds, (iii) remit to Lender (and cause Mortgage Borrower to remit to Lender) any Mortgage Reserve Funds remaining in the Waived Reserve Funds and (iv) upon request by Lender, make a payment with respect to any deficiency in the Substitute Reserve Funds as identified by Lender.

Section 8.2. General Matters Pertaining to Reserves.

(A) Release of Substitute Reserve Funds. Provided no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, Lender shall release any Substitute Reserve Funds in accordance with substantially the same terms and conditions in the Mortgage Loan Agreement with respect to the release of the applicable Mortgage Reserve Funds.

(B) Security Interest; Rights on Default. All Substitute Reserve Funds shall be held in Eligible Accounts. Borrower hereby grants and pledges to Lender a security interest in any and all monies now or hereafter comprising any Reserves, including all Substitute Reserve Funds and any other

Page 81

funds paid to or held by Lender for such purposes, and all earnings on and proceeds of any or all of the foregoing, in each case as security for the payment of the Loan and the payment and performance of all other Obligations. If an Event of Default exists, Lender shall have no obligation to disburse any amount from any Reserve. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have all rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and under applicable law. Without limitation, if an Event of Default exists, Lender shall have no obligation to disburse any amount from any Reserve, and Lender is expressly authorized to hold all or any portion of the Reserves and not apply the same to the Obligations, to apply all or any portion of the Reserves against any of the Obligations in any order that Lender determines, to apply all or any portion of the Reserves otherwise as provided herein, or to dispose of any or all of the same in accordance with applicable law.

(C) Earnings on Reserves. The Substitute Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. No earnings or interest on the Substitute Reserve Funds shall be payable to Borrower or Mortgage Borrower. Neither Lender nor any Servicer that at any time holds or maintains the Substitute Reserve Funds shall have any obligation to keep or maintain such Substitute Reserve Funds or any funds deposited therein in interest bearing accounts. If Lender or any Servicer elects in its sole and absolute discretion to keep or maintain any Substitute Reserve Funds deposited therein in an interest bearing account, (i) such funds shall not be invested except in Permitted Investments, and (ii) all interest earned or accrued thereon shall be for the account of, and be retained by Lender or any Servicer. Lender shall not be responsible and shall have no liability whatsoever for the rate of return earned or losses incurred on the investment of any Substitute Reserve Funds in Permitted Investments.

(D) Right to Receive Authorization. Lender shall have the right at any time to request from Borrower or from Guarantor written authorization in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, separate and apart from the authorizations set forth in the Loan Documents, to make (or refrain from making) any payment from or with respect to any Reserve (including payments to Lender for credit against the obligations of Borrower hereunder), or to take (or refrain from taking) any action pertaining to any Reserve. Lender shall have no obligation to request any such written authorization ever, and Lender’s not requesting any such written authorization shall not give rise to any rights in Borrower or any obligation, liability or detriment of Lender. Further, Lender’s requesting such written authorization in any case or cases shall not give rise to any obligation to request such written authorization in any subsequent case. If such written authorization is given, then Lender shall have the right to rely on the same irrevocably. If Lender requests any such written authorization for any matter which the Loan Documents or applicable law permits or requires Lender to do under the circumstances then in effect or as contemplated in such request for written authorization, then until such time as Lender receives such written authorization (including any time following denial of such written authorization) Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized to do any one or more of the following, at Lender’s reasonable option (i) except for payment of Taxes, hold all or any part of the applicable Reserve without making payment therefrom, (ii) make any payments from the Reserve that are then permitted or required under the Loan Documents or applicable law, or (iii) exercise or refrain from exercising any other rights or remedies pertaining to the Reserves that are then permitted under the Loan Documents or under applicable law. Lender’s rights under the foregoing sentence may be exercised simultaneously or seriatim in any combination or sequence. If Lender shall exercise any of such rights by reason of not having received any requested written authorization, and if the requested written authorization is subsequently given (or if a denial of written authorization is subsequently rescinded), Lender shall not then be required to undo the results of any such exercise of rights, and Lender shall not be bound by any obligation which Lender determines in its reasonable discretion is inconsistent with any of the rights that have been so exercised. The rights of Lender under this subsection shall govern and prevail notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents or elsewhere. Without limitation, the rights of Lender under this subsection shall govern and prevail over any provision of the Loan Documents which imposes on Lender any obligation whatsoever pertaining to any Reserve.

Page 82

(E) Reserves Not Specifically Identified in Article VIII. This Article shall apply to all Reserves that are specifically identified in this Article VIII and also to any other Reserves that are required pursuant to the Loan Documents.

(F) Additional Provisions. Borrower’s obligations to make deposits into each Reserve are separate from Borrower’s obligations to make deposits into each other Reserve, and from its obligations to pay as and when due all principal, interest, and other amounts owing under the Loan Documents. Without limitation, nothing in this Article shall excuse Borrower’s performance of any obligation set forth elsewhere in this Agreement or in the Loan Documents. Lender may (but need not) disburse payment from any Reserve directly to the applicable vendor, by joint check to Borrower (or any Individual Mortgage Borrower on behalf of Borrower) and the applicable contractor, or to Borrower (or any Individual Mortgage Borrower on behalf of Borrower), in each case as determined by Lender in its sole discretion. To the extent that Reserves are funded from Loan proceeds, whether at Closing or otherwise, the amount so funded shall constitute principal outstanding hereunder. Upon full and final payment of the Obligations, any funds remaining in any Reserve shall be disbursed to Borrower.

Section 8.3. Environmental Testing. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to comply with Section 8.5 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement with respect to the well water testing at the Individual Property located in Kingwood, Texas, and shall deliver (or cause Mortgage Borrower to deliver) to Lender and its environmental consultant contemporaneously with any delivery to Mortgage Lender (or its environmental consultant) the test results and any other information relating thereto which is delivered to Mortgage Lender. If well water monitoring or other remediation is recommended by Lender’s environmental consultant or required under applicable Environmental Law or other Legal Requirements, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to proceed with reasonable diligence to commence and thereafter with reasonable diligence perform such monitoring or other remediation, which shall be performed in accordance with a plan for such monitoring and mediation reasonably approved in writing by Lender.

Section 8.4. Letters of Credit.

(A) This Section shall apply to any Letters of Credit which are permitted to be delivered pursuant to the express terms and conditions of this Agreement. Borrower shall give Lender no less than ten (10) days written notice of Borrower’s election to deliver a Letter of Credit together with a draft of the proposed Letter of Credit and Borrower shall pay to Lender all of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith. No party other than Lender shall be entitled to draw on any such Letter of Credit.

(B) Each Letter of Credit delivered hereunder shall be additional security for the payment of the Obligations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, at its option, to draw on any Letter of Credit and to apply all or any part thereof to the payment of the items for which such Letter of Credit was established or to apply each such Letter of Credit to payment of the Obligations in such order, proportion or priority as Lender may determine. Any such application to the Obligations shall be subject to the terms and conditions hereof relating to application of sums to the Obligations. Lender shall have the additional rights to draw in full any Letter of Credit: (i) if Lender has received a notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (ii) if Lender has not received a notice from the issuing bank that it has renewed the Letter of Credit at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (iii) upon receipt of notice from the issuing

Page 83

bank that the Letter of Credit will be terminated (except if the termination of such Letter of Credit is permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof or a substitute Letter of Credit is provided by no later than thirty (30) days prior to such termination); (iv) if Lender has received notice that the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall cease to be an Approved LC Bank and Borrower has not substituted a Letter of Credit from an Approved LC Bank within fifteen (15) days after notice; and/or (v) if the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall fail to (A) issue a replacement Letter of Credit in the event the original Letter of Credit has been lost, mutilated, stolen and/or destroyed or (B) consent to the transfer of the Letter of Credit to any Person designated by Lender in connection with this Agreement. If Lender draws upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, provided no Event of Default exists, Lender shall apply all or any part thereof for the purposes for which such Letter of Credit was established. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the above, Lender is not obligated to draw any Letter of Credit upon the happening of an event specified in (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above and shall not be liable for any losses sustained by Borrower due to the insolvency of the bank issuing the Letter of Credit if Lender has not drawn the Letter of Credit.

(C) In no event shall Borrower or Mortgage Borrower be an account party to, or have or incur any reimbursement obligations in connection with, any Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower (or Mortgage Borrower) shall only be permitted to deliver a Letter of Credit hereunder to the extent the amount of such Letter of Credit, together with the amounts of all other outstanding Letters of Credit, does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan.

(A) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Sections 9.1(J), (K) or (L), the unpaid principal amount of and accrued interest and fees on the Loan and all other Obligations shall automatically, without notice, become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration or other requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Borrower Party. Upon and at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, at the option of Lender, which may be exercised without notice or demand to anyone, all or any portion of the Loan and other Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration or other requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Borrower Party.

(B) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, 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 Collateral. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing (i) to the fullest extent permitted by law, 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 Collateral and the Collateral has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Obligations or the Obligations have been paid in full.

Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreement to secure payment of sums secured by the Pledge Agreement and not previously recovered.

Page 88

(D) Any amounts recovered from the Collateral for the Loan during the continuance of 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.

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

Section 9.3. Duration of Events of Default. Notwithstanding anything else herein or any other Loan Document (but subject to any contrary effect of any applicable statute), Lender shall have no obligation to accept the cure of, or to waive, any Event of Default, regardless of tender of delinquent payments or other performance by Borrower, or any other event or condition whatsoever; and no Borrower Party shall have any right to cure any Event of Default, and no right to cure shall be implied. After the first occurrence of any Event of Default (irrespective of whether or not the same consists of an ongoing condition, a one-time occurrence, or otherwise), the same shall be deemed to continue at all times thereafter; provided, however, that such Event of Default shall cease to continue only if Lender shall expressly accept performance of the defaulted obligation in writing or shall otherwise execute and deliver a written agreement in which Lender expressly states that such Event of Default has ceased to continue. Lender shall not be obligated under any circumstances whatsoever to accept such performance or execute and deliver any such writing. Without limitation, this Section shall govern in any case where reference is made in this Agreement or elsewhere in the Loan Documents to (i) any “cure” (whether by use of such word or otherwise) of any Event of Default, (ii) “during an Event of Default,” “the continuance of an Event of Default” or “after an Event of Default has ceased” (in each case, whether by use of such words or otherwise), or (iii) any condition or event which continues beyond the time when the same becomes an Event of Default.

Section 9.4. Performance by Lender.

(A) If any Borrower Party shall fail to perform fully, or cause to be performed fully, any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether notice has been given and whether any time in which to cure has elapsed and irrespective of whether or not an Event of Default has occurred, Lender may (but shall have no obligation to) perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of such Borrower Party. In such event, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, promptly pay to Lender any amount reasonably expended by Lender in such performance or attempted performance, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, from the date of such expenditure until paid. Any amounts advanced or expended by Lender to perform or attempt to perform any such matter shall be added to and included within the Indebtedness evidenced by the Note and shall be secured by all of the Collateral securing the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that Lender shall not have any liability or responsibility for the performance of any obligation of any Borrower Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Page 89

(B) Lender may cease or suspend any and all performance required of Lender under the Loan Documents upon and during the continuance of any Default, and upon and at any time after the occurrence of any Event of Default.

Section 9.5. Right of Entry. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender is hereby irrevocably empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon any Individual Property or any part thereof for the purposes of (i) inspecting such Individual Property and conducting tests and appraisals, (ii) determining whether Borrower has performed its obligations under the Loan Documents, (iii) protecting Lender’s interests in the Collateral and the Property, (iv) performing or attempting to perform any obligation of Borrower, (v) responding to any Default, and (vi) subject to the rights of Mortgage Lender, collecting any Receipts and performing any obligations under any Leases. Lender shall not be liable to Borrower or any person in possession holding under Borrower by reason of such entry or such action.

Section 9.6. Evidence of Compliance. Promptly following request by Lender, Borrower shall provide such documents and instruments as shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender to evidence compliance with any provision of the Loan Documents.

(D) Borrower shall provide in connection with each of (i) a preliminary and a final private placement memorandum or registration statement or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, in each case used in connection with a Securitization, an agreement (A) certifying that Borrower has examined the following sections of the Disclosure Documents: (1) with respect to the term sheet, the sections entitled “Executive Summary and Transaction Highlights,” “Portfolio Overview,” “Sponsorship and Management Overview” and “Historical and Underwritten Financials” (or sections similarly titled), and (2) with respect to the other Disclosure Documents, those sections of the Disclosure Documents entitled “Risk Factors,” “Description of the Properties,” “Description of the Collateral,” “Description of the Borrowers, Mortgage Borrowers and the Borrower Sponsors and Related Parties,” “Description of the Property Manager and the Management Agreement,” “Sources and Uses,” “Annex A—Property Schedule,” “Annex E – Representations and Warranties of the Borrowers,” “Annex G—Borrowers Organizational Charts” and “Annex H – Borrower Names” (or sections similarly titled) and in the portions of the “Summary of Offering Circular” that relate to the foregoing, as each of the foregoing in clauses (1) and (2) relates to the Borrower Parties, their Affiliates, the Property Manager and the Property (and in all cases excluding any summary of the Loan Documents or terms of the Loan) (the foregoing in clauses (1) and (2), collectively, the “Relevant Sections”), and (2) the Relevant Sections do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B) indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 13.7, Lender hereunder shall include its officers and directors), the Affiliate of Lender (“Lender Affiliate”) that has filed the registration statement relating to the Securitization (the “Registration Statement”), each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each Person that controls or is under common control with the Lender Affiliate 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 each of its officers, director and each Person who controls or is under common control with 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 directors and each Person who controls or is under common control with Lender Affiliate or any other placement agent or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any 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 any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Relevant Sections or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse Lender, the Lender Group and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent that any the related Liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property. The indemnification provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective whether or not the indemnification agreement described above is provided. The aforesaid

Page 107

indemnity will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Borrower’s obligations pursuant to this Section 13.7, including any indemnity obligations, with respect to the Provided Information and Relevant Sections shall not include, (1) any untrue statements or omissions about which Borrower has provided notice in writing to Lender prior to the distribution of the Disclosure Document, (2) any statements which are derived from thirty-party information not prepared by or on behalf of Mortgage Borrower, Borrower or Guarantor with respect to which Borrower has provided notice to Lender in writing prior to the distribution of the Disclosure Document that Borrower is unable to verify, (3) any Disclosure Document (or any provisions thereof) with respect to which Borrower is not provided a reasonable opportunity to review, it being acknowledged and agreed that Borrower shall in all events have five Business Days to review the initial draft of each Disclosure Document and two (2) Business Days to review each subsequent draft of any Disclosure Document (or any provision thereof). Any notice given by Borrower pursuant to clauses (1) through (3) above may be given by email to the list of email addresses from time to time indicated by Lender or its counsel when distributing the related Disclosure Document to Borrower.

(E) In connection with filings under Exchange Act and/or the Securities Act or but subject to clauses (1) through (3) in Section 13.7(C), Borrower shall (i) indemnify Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and the Underwriter Group for 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 the omission or alleged omission to state in the Relevant Sections a material fact required to be stated in the Relevant Sections or necessary in order to make the statements in the Relevant Sections, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer or the Underwriter Group for any reasonable out-of-pocket legal or other expenses incurred by Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.

(F) Borrower agrees that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Section 13.7 is finally judicially determined to be unavailable for any reason or is insufficient to hold any indemnified person harmless (with respect only to the Liabilities that are the subject of this Section 13.7), then Borrower, on the one hand, and such indemnified person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient: (x) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to Borrower, on the one hand, and such indemnified person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (y) if the allocation provided by clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (x) but also the relative faults of Borrower, on the one hand, and all indemnified persons, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 13.7, no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other party who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) Lender’s and Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.

(G) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 13.7 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 13.7, 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

Page 108

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 as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 13.7, such indemnifying party shall pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnifying party in connection with the defense thereof; 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 (plus local and special counsel, as applicable) unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified party. 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 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.

(H) Borrower agrees that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 13.7 shall apply whether or not any indemnified person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. 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 13.7.

(I) The indemnities, liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender under this Section 13.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Obligations.

Section 13.8. Resizing; New Mezzanine Option.

(A) Borrower covenants and agrees that after the Closing Date and prior to a Securitization, Lender shall have the right to establish different interest rates and to reallocate the principal balances between the Loan and the Mortgage Loan and to require the payment of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender, which may result in varying interest rates, but which shall have the same aggregate initial weighted average interest rate and aggregate principal balance of the original Note and the Mortgage Loan Note (the “Resizing Option”). Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in Lender’s exercise of the Resizing Option, using commercially reasonable efforts and in a timely manner, which such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, (a) executing such amendments to the Loan Documents and any Borrower’s organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or requested by the Rating Agencies, (b) executing such agreements, instruments and other documents as may be reasonably required by Lender in connection with the Lender’s effectuating of the resizing of the Loan and Mortgage Loan; and (c) delivering such opinions, title endorsements, UCC title insurance policies, documents and/or instruments relating to any declarations or reciprocal easement agreements affecting the Property and other materials as may be required by Lender or the Rating Agencies;

Page 109

and (iv) delivering an Interest Rate Cap Agreement and related Assignment of Cap for the Loan and the Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that neither Borrower, the other Borrower Parties nor Sponsor Affiliated Manager shall be required to enter into any modification or amendment to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other document, instrument or certificate if such modification, amendment, document, instrument or certificate would adversely affect or diminish the respective rights or increase their respective obligations and liabilities as presently set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, in each case other than to a de minimis extent, and other than (x) as affected by the resizing of the relative principal balances and interest rates pursuant to the Resizing Option and the relative senior/subordinate priorities of the resized Loan and the Mortgage Loan resulting therefrom, and (y) resulting from any componentization of the Loan pursuant to Section 13.6, including any “rate creep” that would occur as a result of applications of principal payments (whether voluntary, mandatory, involuntary or otherwise occurring, including without limitation partial prepayments associated with Property Releases and applications of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service) and/or upon occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(B) New Mezzanine Option. Lender shall have the option (the “New Mezzanine Option”) at any time to create one or more new mezzanine loans (the “New Mezzanine Loan”), provided, that (i) the total loan amounts for the Loan, the Mortgage Loan, and the New Mezzanine Loan shall equal the then outstanding amount of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan immediately prior to Lender’s exercise of the New Mezzanine Option, and (ii) the weighted average interest rate of the Loan, the Mortgage Loan, and the New Mezzanine Loan shall initially equal the weighted average interest rate of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan. Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in Lender’s exercise of the New Mezzanine Option using commercially reasonable efforts and in a timely manner, which such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, (i) executing such amendments to the Loan Documents and any Borrower’s organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or requested by the Rating Agencies, (ii) newly forming one or more entities satisfying applicable Rating Agency criteria for single-purpose entities (the “New Mezzanine Borrower”), which such New Mezzanine Borrower shall (A) own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the equity ownership interests in Borrower or Mortgage Borrower (the “Equity Collateral”), and (B) together with such constituent equity owners of such New Mezzanine Borrower as may be reasonably designated by Lender, execute such agreements, instruments and other documents as may be reasonably required by Lender in connection with the New Mezzanine Loan (including, without limitation, a promissory note evidencing the New Mezzanine Loan and a pledge and security agreement pledging the Equity Collateral to Lender as security for the New Mezzanine Loan); and (iii) delivering such opinions, title endorsements, UCC title insurance policies, documents and/or instruments relating to any declarations or reciprocal easement agreements affecting the Property and other materials as may be required by Lender or the Rating Agencies; and (iv) delivering an Interest Rate Cap Agreement and related Assignment of Cap for the Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan; provided, however, that neither Borrower, the other Borrower Parties nor Sponsor Affiliated Manager shall be required to enter into any modification or amendment to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other document, instrument or certificate if such modification, amendment, document, instrument or certificate would adversely affect or diminish the respective rights or increase their respective obligations and liabilities as presently set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, in each case other than to a de minimis extent, and other than (x) as affected by the creation of the New Mezzanine Loan and the resizing of the relative principal balances and interest rates pursuant to the New Mezzanine Loan Option and the relative senior/subordinate priorities of the Loan, the Mortgage Loan and New Mezzanine Loan resulting therefrom, and (y) resulting from any componentization of the Loan pursuant to Section 13.6, including any “rate creep” that would occur as a result of applications of principal payments (whether voluntary, mandatory, involuntary or otherwise occurring, including without limitation partial prepayments associated with Property Releases and applications of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service) and/or upon occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(C) Borrower shall not be required to incur any costs or expenses in the performance of its obligations under this Section 13.8 other than expenses of Borrower’s counsel, accountants and consultants.

Section 13.9. Intentionally Omitted.

Section 13.10. Intentionally Omitted.

Section 13.11. Co-Lenders.

(A) Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding the fact that the Loan may be serviced by Servicer, prior to a Securitization of the entire Loan, all requests for approval and consents hereunder and in every instance in which Lender’s consent or approval is required, each of Borrower and Guarantor shall be required to obtain the consent and approval of each Co-Lender and all copies of documents, reports, requests and other delivery obligations of Borrower and Guarantor required hereunder shall be delivered by Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, to each Co-Lender.

(B) (i) The liabilities of Lender shall be several and not joint, (ii) no Co-Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Co-Lender, and (iii) each Co-Lender shall be liable to Borrower only for its respective Ratable Share of the Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all indemnities by Borrower and obligations for costs, expenses, damages or advances set forth herein shall run to and benefit each Co-Lender in accordance with its Ratable Share.

(C) Each Co-Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on any other Co-Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of Borrower, Guarantor, and their respective Affiliates and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon any other Co-Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document.

(D) With respect to the enforcement of the rights and remedies of Lender under the Loan Documents upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if at such time there are multiple Co-Lenders holding the Loan, then either:

(i) the Co-Lenders shall exercise such rights and remedies jointly together, or

(ii) the Co-Lenders shall designate from time to time, such designations to be made from time to time in the Co-Lenders’ sole and absolute discretion, one or more servicers or agents (which may be a Co-Lender, applicable servicer or other agent designated by Lender) that shall exercise such rights and remedies under the Loan Documents on behalf of Lender (and all Co-Lenders) such that, with respect to any exercise of applicable rights and remedies at any given time, there shall be a single servicer or agent exercising such rights and remedies as or on behalf of Lender notwithstanding that there may be multiple Co-Lenders holding the Loan.

(E) Borrower acknowledges that the Co-Lenders may from time to time enter into one or more co-lending agreement, intercreditor agreement or similar agreements governing the relationship between such parties with respect to the Loan (“Co-Lender Agreements”). The Co-Lender Agreements are intended solely for the benefit of the Co-Lenders and any other parties thereto, and Borrower acknowledges that neither Borrower nor any of its Affiliates is an intended third-party beneficiary of any Co-Lender Agreement and shall not be entitled to rely on any of the terms or provisions contained therein. No Co-Lender shall have any obligation to disclose to Borrower or any of its Affiliates the contents of any Co-Lender Agreement.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 14.1. Expenses and Attorneys’ Fees. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Borrower agrees to promptly pay all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any matters contemplated by or arising out of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and such reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, documentation, closing, administration, servicing, enforcement, interpretation, and collection of the Loan and the Loan Documents, and in the preservation and protection of Lender’s rights hereunder and thereunder, and in response to requests or other matters presented by Borrower, all of which shall be part of the Obligations. By way of example and not limitation, the reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the following shall be included: (a) examination, review, due diligence, investigation, documentation and closing of the transactions evidenced the Loan Documents; (b) any amendments, modifications and waivers relating thereto, whether proposed or consummated; (c) administration of the Loan and Loan Documents, including response to any requests by Borrower; (d) review, documentation, negotiation, closing and administration of any subordination agreements, non-disturbance agreements, Leases, or intercreditor agreements; (e) any action to enforce or interpret this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or to collect any payments due from Borrower or any guarantor or indemnitor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (f) any case or proceeding under Title 11 or any other Title of the United States Code (or any law succeeding or replacing any of the same); and (g) any refinancing or restructuring of the Loan or the Loan Documents, whether in the nature of a “workout,” in connection with any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, or otherwise, and (h) any matter as to which Borrower is obligated to indemnify Lender hereunder. In each case, Lender’s fees, costs and expenses to be reimbursed by Borrower hereunder shall include the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of legal counsel and other professionals retained by Lender, provided, however, that the obligation of Borrower to pay attorneys’ fees pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall not include costs of Lender’s internal “in house” legal personnel. At the Closing, Lender is authorized to pay directly from the proceeds of the Loan any or all of the foregoing fees, costs and expenses then or theretofore incurred. Any costs and expenses due and payable to Lender after the Closing Date may be paid to Lender pursuant to the terms hereof. If Lender so elects, Lender may acquire a tax service contract for the Property, in which case the reasonable costs of the same shall be reimbursed by Borrower

Section 14.2. Indemnity. In addition to Borrower’s obligations to pay reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses as provided elsewhere herein, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Borrower shall indemnify, defend, protect, pay and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, suits, actions, obligations, liabilities, judgments, losses, damages, penalties, Indemnifiable Taxes, Other Taxes, brokerage, leasing, finder’s or similar fees, reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of legal counsel for such Indemnified Parties in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not such Indemnified Parties shall be designated a party thereto) that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party, in any manner relating to or arising out of any of the following, except that Borrower shall not be liable hereunder to any Indemnified Party to the extent the same is caused by such Indemnified Party’s willful misconduct, gross negligence, fraud or illegal acts in the conduct of its activities at or with respect to the Property or the Loan: (a) the negotiation, execution, delivery, performance, administration, ownership, or enforcement of any of the Loan Documents; (b) any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or any ownership of the Pledge Agreement, the Collateral or any interest therein, or receipt

Page 112

of any Rents; (c) any breach by any Borrower Party of any representation, warranty, covenant, or other agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents; (d) [Reserved]; (e) Lender’s agreement to make the Loan hereunder; (f) any claim brought by any third party arising out of any condition or occurrence at or pertaining to any Individual Property, including without limitation, any claims and demands for damages or injury, including claims for property damage, personal injury or wrongful death, arising out of or in connection with any accident or fire or other casualty on any Individual Property or any nuisance or trespass made or suffered thereon, (g) any design, construction, operation, repair, maintenance, use, non-use or condition of any Individual Property, including claims or penalties arising from violation of any applicable laws or insurance requirements, as well as any claim based on any patent or latent defect, whether or not discoverable by Lender; (h) any performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of any Individual Property or any part thereof, and any Liens (whether judgments, mechanics’, materialmen’s or otherwise), charges and encumbrances filed against any Individual Property; (i) any contest referred to in Section 7.3; (j) any obligation or undertaking relating to the performance or discharge of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of the landlord contained in the Leases; (k) any information provided by or on behalf of Borrower or any Individual Mortgage Borrower, or contained in any documentation approved by Borrower or any Individual Mortgage Borrower or (l) the use or intended use of the proceeds of any of the Loan. In addition, Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs actually incurred in the investigation, defense, and settlement of Losses incurred in correcting any prohibited transaction or in the sale of a prohibited loan, and in obtaining any individual prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA that may be required, in Lender’s sole discretion) that Lender may incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of a default under Sections 4.14 or 7.20 of this Agreement. Any amounts payable to any Indemnified Party by reason of the application of this Section 14.2 shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such loss or damage is sustained by any Indemnified Party until paid. The obligations and liabilities of Borrower under this Section 14.2 shall survive the term of the Loan and the exercise by Lender of any of its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, including the acquisition of the Pledged Collateral by foreclosure or an assignment in lieu of foreclosure, and shall expire upon the expiration of the applicable statute of limitation.

Section 14.3. Actions Affecting Lender’s Interests. Irrespective of whether any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, if any action or proceeding of any kind (including, but not limited to, any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization or other debtor relief proceeding) is commenced which might affect Lender’s interest in the Loan or in all or any part of the Collateral, then Lender may, at its option, make any appearances, disburse any funds and take any actions as Lender may deem necessary or appropriate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or any Guarantor, or their respective creditors or property, Lender shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as Lender may determine in order to have the claims of Lender allowed in such proceedings for the entire amount of the Obligations. Lender shall have such rights irrespective of whether or not any Event of Default shall have occurred, and whether or not any notice shall have been given to Borrower. No exercise of any such rights shall constitute or give rise to a waiver or cure of any default by Borrower. Borrower shall reimburse Lender within ten (10) days after written demand for all out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements incurred by Lender under this provision, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, together with interest thereon at the same rate as is then applicable to other principal hereunder. Borrower’s obligations under this Section shall survive payment in full of the Obligations.

Section 14.4. Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, or consent to any departure therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be

Page 113

in writing and signed by Lender and by the party against whom enforcement is sought. Each amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Borrower Party in any case shall entitle the same or any other Borrower Party or any other Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances (except for any notices as expressly required herein or under the other Loan Documents).

Section 14.5. Retention of Borrower’s Documents. Lender may, in accordance with Lender’s customary practices, destroy or otherwise dispose of all documents, schedules, invoices or other papers, delivered by Borrower to Lender unless Borrower requests in writing that same be returned. Upon such request and at Borrower’s expense, Lender shall return such papers when Lender’s actual or anticipated need for same has terminated.

Section 14.6. Notices. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and addressed to the respective party as set forth below. Notices shall be effective (i) three (3) days after the date such notice is mailed, (ii) on the next Business Day if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, (iii) on the date of delivery by personal delivery and (iv) on the date of transmission if sent by telefax during business hours on a Business Day (otherwise on the next Business Day) (with receipt of confirmation).

Any party may change the address at which it is to receive notices to another address in the United States at which business is conducted (and not a post-office box or other similar receptacle), by giving notice of such change of address in accordance with the foregoing. This provision shall not invalidate or impose additional requirements for the delivery or effectiveness of any notice (i) given in accordance with applicable statutes or rules of court, or (ii) by service of process in accordance with applicable law. If there is any assignment or transfer of any Co-Lender’s interest in the Loan, then the new Co-Lender may give notice to the parties in accordance with this Section, specifying the addresses at which the new Co-Lender shall receive notice, and they shall be entitled to notice at such address in accordance with this Section.

Section 14.7. Survival of Warranties and Certain Agreements. All agreements, representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of the Loan and the execution and delivery of the Note. Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of Borrower to indemnify or release Lender or Persons related to Lender, or to pay Lender’s costs, expenses, or Taxes shall survive the payment of the Loan, the release of the Collateral and the Liens created under the Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 14.8. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege under any of the Loan Documents shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. Failure of consideration of any Borrower Party to another, or nonperformance by any Borrower Party or in favor of another Borrower Party, or any other matter among Borrower Parties, shall not relieve Borrower Parties from, nor in any way serve as a waiver of, any of the obligations of Borrower Parties under any of the Loan Documents.

Section 14.9. Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. Lender shall not be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Person makes a payment or payments to Lender, or Lender enforces its remedies or exercises its rights of set off, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, if any, and rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or set off had not occurred.

Section 14.10. Severability. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in any jurisdiction of any provision in or obligation under this Agreement, the Note or other Loan Documents shall not affect or impair the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations under this Agreement, the Note or other Loan Documents or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction.

Section 14.11. Intentionally Omitted.

Section 14.12. Headings. Headings for sections, subsections, and other parts of this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

FROM THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WHICH STATE THE PARTIES AGREE HAS A SUBSTANTIAL RELATIONSHIP TO THE PARTIES AND TO THE UNDERLYING TRANSACTION EMBODIED HEREBY, AND IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE (WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS) AND ANY APPLICABLE LAW OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BORROWER HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM TO ASSERT THAT THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION GOVERNS THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE AND/OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.

Section 14.14. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower Party may assign its rights or obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents except as expressly provided in Article XI. To the extent that Lender transfers any of its interest under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, then without the necessity of further action by Borrower, Lender shall be released by Borrower from any further liability hereunder and thereunder.

Section 14.15. Sophisticated Parties, Reasonable Terms, No Fiduciary Relationship. Borrower represents and acknowledges that (i) the Borrower Parties are sophisticated real estate investors, familiar with transactions of this kind, and (ii) they have entered into this transaction, and the Loan Documents have been executed and delivered only after the Borrower Parties have conducted their own assessment of the alternatives available to them in the market, and after lengthy negotiations in which they have been represented by competent legal counsel of their choice, and (iii) the rights of Lender under the Loan Documents are reasonable and appropriate, taking into consideration all of the facts and circumstances including without limitation the quantity of the Loan, the nature of the Collateral, and the risks incurred by Lender in this transaction. No provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents and no course of dealing between the parties shall be deemed to create (i) any partnership or joint venture between Lender and Borrower or any other Person, or (ii) any fiduciary or similar duty by Lender to Borrower or any other Person. The relationship between Lender and Borrower is exclusively the relationship of a creditor and a debtor, and all relationships between Lender and any other Borrower Party are ancillary to such creditor/debtor relationship.

Section 14.16. Reasonableness of Determinations. In any instance where any consent, approval, determination or other action by Lender is, pursuant to the Loan Documents or applicable law, required to be done reasonably or required not to be unreasonably withheld, then Lender’s action shall be presumed to be reasonable, and Borrower shall bear the burden of proof of showing that the same was not reasonable. In all cases Lender shall be conclusively deemed to be acting reasonably when implementing any standard or requirement of any applicable Rating Agency. If a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where, by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment and the right to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in such action if Borrower prevails in such action. Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.

Section 14.17. Limitation of Liability. Anything to the contrary anywhere in the Loan Documents notwithstanding, Borrower agrees (i) that no Borrower Party shall ▇▇▇ Lender or any Affiliate of Lender for punitive, speculative or consequential damages in respect of any claim or liability in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the Loan, the Collateral, the Property, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and (ii) that they shall not in any event for any reason ▇▇▇ any of Lender’s or Lender’s Affiliate’s officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents. Borrower on behalf of itself and anyone claiming by, through or under Borrower, hereby forever releases Lender, its Affiliates, and their officers, directors, employees, attorneys, and agents from the matters for which Borrower has agreed not to ▇▇▇.

Section 14.18. No Liability for Consents and Approvals. Lender’s consent to or acceptance or approval of any matter shall not relieve Borrower from any obligation with respect to such matter (such as, for example, the obligation that the same shall comply with Legal Requirements). Any such consent, acceptance or approval is for Lender’s purposes only. Borrower shall not rely on Lender’s consent, acceptance or approval for any purpose in evaluating the subject matter. No such consent, acceptance or approval shall comprise any part of the basis of any liability on the part of Lender. By way of example only, by consenting to or accepting or approving any item that may be delivered to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents (including, but not limited to, any Authorized Officer’s Certificate, Financial Statements, survey, appraisal, insurance policy, plans, specifications, or reports), Lender shall not incur any liability whatsoever to Borrower or to anyone claiming by, through or under Borrower.

Section 14.19. No Duty. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, and other professional Persons and consultants retained by Lender shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of Lender and shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or obligation of any type or nature whatsoever to any Borrower Party or Affiliates thereof, or any other Person.

Section 14.20. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Note, and the other Loan Documents referred to herein embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto. There are no oral agreements among the parties to the Loan Documents.

Section 14.21. Construction as Mutually Drafted. Borrower Parties and Lender acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by Borrower and Lender.

Section 14.22. Supremacy of Loan Agreement. The Loan Documents shall be read together so as to give effect to all provisions of all of them. Nonetheless, if any term, condition or provision of this Agreement shall contradict or be irreconcilably inconsistent with any term, condition or provision of any other Loan Document, then this Agreement shall control.

Section 14.23. Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process. ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST LENDER OR BORROWER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY AT LENDER’S OPTION BE

Borrower agrees that such one-year period of time is reasonable and sufficient time to investigate and act upon any such claim or cause of action. The one-year period provided herein shall not be waived, tolled or extended except by the specific written agreement of Lender. This provision shall survive any termination of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

Section 14.26. Counterparts; Effectiveness. The Loan Documents and any amendments, waivers, consents, or supplements thereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto, upon the first advance of principal by Lender to Borrower hereunder.

Section 14.27. Servicer; Trust Fund Expenses; Rating Agency Costs.

(A) Lender shall have the right from time to time to designate and appoint one or more Servicers, and to change or replace any Servicer.

Section 14.28. Attorney-In-Fact. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact. This power of attorney shall be irrevocable so long as any Obligations remain outstanding under the Loan Documents, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, shall survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Borrower, and shall not be affected by any disability or incapacity suffered by Borrower subsequent to the date hereof. Lender shall have the right and power, without the obligation to do so, in Lender’s name or in the name of Borrower, to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments and perform any and all acts that are required of Borrower hereunder or that otherwise serve the purpose of providing to Lender the full benefit of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 14.31. Borrower Responsible for Obligations of Borrower Parties. Where this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents sets forth any requirement pertaining to any Borrower Party, then the failure of such requirement to be satisfied shall constitute a Default hereunder, binding on Borrower, whether or not the subject Borrower Party is a party hereto or thereto, whether or not such Borrower Party is contractually bound by that requirement, and whether or not Borrower has the power to cause or influence compliance or noncompliance with such requirement. Without limitation of the foregoing, any such Default may become an Event of Default in the time provided in Article IX herein as if the same were a requirement pertaining to Borrower, without extension of time by reason of the inability of Borrower to cause performance or cure by the applicable Borrower Party. Where this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents provides that any act, omission, condition or event pertaining to any Borrower Party shall result in recourse liability to Borrower, then such recourse liability shall occur, whether or not the subject Borrower Party is a party hereto or thereto, whether or not such Borrower Party is bound by that provision, and whether or not Borrower has the power to cause or influence the occurrence or cure of the matter giving rise to such liability.

(A) The representations, covenants, warranties and obligations of Borrower hereunder are joint and several representations, covenants, warranties and obligations of each and every Person constituting Borrower. Without limitation of the foregoing, the obligations and liabilities of each Borrower hereunder shall be joint and several with each and every other Borrower, and all representations, warranties, covenants (both affirmative and negative) and all other obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be the joint and several obligation of each Borrower and any default by any Borrower shall be deemed a default by such Borrower and each and every other Borrower. The representations, covenants and warranties contained herein or in any other Loan Documents shall be read to apply to each Borrower when the context so requires but a breach of any such representation, covenant or warranty or a breach of any obligation under the Loan Documents by any Borrower shall be deemed a breach by each and every Borrower.

(B) Funds advanced by Lender to or at the direction of any Borrower shall be deemed advanced to or for the benefit of all of the Borrowers.

(C) Any notice delivered to any Borrower shall be binding on all Borrower Parties as if delivered to all of them.

Section 14.34. Registration.

(A) Borrower hereby acknowledges and makes the Note a registered obligation for United States withholding tax purposes. Lender or its designee (which may include the Servicer), as Borrower’s non-fiduciary agent for this purpose, or, in Lender’s sole discretion, the Borrower, shall be the registrar for the Note (the “Registrar”).

(B) The Registrar shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lender and any Assignees of all or any portion of Lender’s interest in the Loan (collectively, “Loan Assignees”), and the principal amount of the Loan (and stated interest thereon) (the “Registered Loan”) held by Lender and each Loan Assignee from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, Lender and the Loan Assignees shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Registrar shall not be entitled to any fee from Borrower or Lender or any other lender in respect of transfers of the Note and other Loan Documents.

(C) If a Co-Lender sells participations, such Co-Lender shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and the address of each participant (“Participant”) and the principal amounts of each Participant’s participation interest in the Loan (or other rights or obligations) held by it (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Co-Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation interest as the owner thereof for all purposes notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. In maintaining the Participant Register, such Co-Lender shall be acting as the non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower solely for purposes of applicable United States federal income tax law and undertakes no duty, responsibility or obligation to the Borrower (without limitation, in no event shall such Co-Lender be a fiduciary of the Borrower for any purpose. Such Co-Lender shall have no obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

Section 14.35. Contributions and Waivers.

(A) As a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Borrower will benefit, directly and indirectly, from each Borrower’s obligation to pay and perform the Obligations and in consideration therefore each Borrower desires to enter into an allocation and contribution agreement among themselves as set forth in this Section to allocate such benefits among themselves and to provide a fair and equitable agreement to make contributions among each of the Borrowers in the event any payment is made by any Borrower hereunder to Lender (such payment being referred to herein as a “Contribution,” and for purposes of this Section, includes any exercise of recourse by Lender against the Collateral of any Borrower and application of proceeds of such Collateral in satisfaction of such Borrower’s obligations to Lender under the Loan Documents).

Page 121

(B) Each Borrower shall be liable hereunder with respect to the Obligations only for such total maximum amount (if any) that would not render its Obligations hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of applicable Legal Requirements.

(C) In order to provide for a fair and equitable contribution among the Borrowers in the event that any Contribution is made by any Borrower (a “Funding Borrower”), such Funding Borrower shall be entitled to a reimbursement Contribution (“Reimbursement Contribution”) from all other Borrowers for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Borrower in discharging any of the Obligations, in the manner and to the extent set forth in this Section.

(D) For purposes hereof, the “Benefit Amount” of any Borrower as of any date of determination shall be the net value of the benefits to such Borrower and its Affiliates from extensions of credit made by Lender to (i) such Borrower and (ii) to the other Borrowers hereunder and the Loan Documents to the extent such other Borrowers have guaranteed or mortgaged their property to secure the Obligations of such Borrower to Lender.

(E) Each Borrower shall be liable to a Funding Borrower in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the (A) ratio of the Benefit Amount of such Borrower to the total amount of Obligations, multiplied by (B) the amount of Obligations paid by such Funding Borrower, or (ii) ninety-five percent (95%) of the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Borrower over the total liabilities of such Borrower (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities) determined as of the date on which the payment made by a Funding Borrower is deemed made for purposes hereof (giving effect to all payments made by other Funding Borrowers as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such Contributions).

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

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

(H) No Reimbursement Contribution payments payable by a Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Section shall be paid until all amounts then due and payable by all of the Borrowers to Lender, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, are paid in full in cash. Nothing contained in this Section shall limit or affect in any way the Obligations of any Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents.

(I) Each Borrower waives:

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

(ii) any defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of any other Borrower, any guarantor of any other Person or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of any other Borrower or any guarantor from any cause other than full payment of all sums payable under the Loan Documents;

Page 122

(iii) any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any other Borrower or any principal of any other Borrower or any defect in the formation of any other Borrower or any principal of any other Borrower;

(iv) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal;

(v) any defense based upon any failure by Lender to obtain collateral for the indebtedness or failure by Lender to perfect a lien on any collateral;

(vi) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind;

(vii) any defense based upon any failure of Lender to give notice of sale or other disposition of any collateral to any other Borrower or to any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of any collateral;

(viii) any defense based upon any failure of Lender to comply with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral, including any failure of Lender to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any collateral;

(ix) any defense based upon any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code;

(x) any defense based upon any agreement or stipulation entered into by Lender with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding;

(xi) any defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code;

(xii) any defense based upon the avoidance of any security interest in favor of Lender for any reason;

(xiii) any defense based upon any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the obligations evidenced by the Note or owing under any of the Loan Documents;

(xiv) any defense or benefit based upon such Borrower’s, or any other party’s, resignation of the portion of any obligation secured by the Collateral to be satisfied by any payment from any other Borrower or any such party; and

(xv) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender even though the election of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Loan or any other amounts owing under the Loan Documents, has destroyed such Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any other Borrower.

Page 123

(J) Each Borrower hereby restates and makes the waivers made by Guarantor in the Guaranty for the benefit of Lender. Such waivers are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein (and as if applicable to each Borrower) and shall be effective for all purposes under the Loan (including, without limitation, in the event that any Borrower is deemed to be a surety or guarantor of the Loan (by virtue of each Borrower being co-obligors and jointly and severally liable hereunder, by virtue of each Borrower encumbering its interest in the Collateral for the benefit or debts of the other Borrowers in connection herewith or otherwise)).

Section 14.36. Intercreditor Agreement. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that Intercreditor Agreement is solely for the benefit of Lender and Mortgage Lender, and that Borrower and Mortgage Borrower shall not be intended third-party beneficiaries of any of the provisions therein, shall have no rights thereunder and shall not be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein. Lender and Mortgage Lender shall have no obligation to disclose to Borrower the contents of the Intercreditor Agreement. Borrower’s obligations hereunder are and will be independent of such Intercreditor Agreement and shall remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof.

Section 14.37. EU Bail-In Rule. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(A) the application of any EEA Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(B) the effects of any EEA Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the EEA Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

Section 14.38. Brokers and Advisors. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no agreement, arrangement or dealings by or between Borrower or Guarantor with any broker or intermediary creates any right of broker or intermediary to bind Lender, and that Lender shall not be responsible for any undertaking, assurance, information or advice given to Borrower by any broker or intermediary, irrespective of whether such entity is compensated by Lender or by Borrower. Borrower acknowledges that Lender may pay fees to one or more brokers or intermediaries in addition to any fees that are paid by Borrower or Lender at closing. The fees may include a direct, one-time payment, incentive payments based on volume and size of financings, profit-sharing payments, and/or an ongoing interest strip in the Loan. In addition, any such broker or intermediary may be retained by Lender to act as a servicer or sub-servicer for the Loan, in which case such entity will receive fees relating to that activity, and may receive compensation if a buyout of such servicing or sub-servicing may occur.

Section 14.39. Additional Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Borrower hereby agrees as follows:

(A) Lender shall have the right (i) to routinely consult with and advise Borrower’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower; provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances. Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice and (ii) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to approve any acquisition by any Borrower of any other significant property (other than personal property required for the day to day operation of the Collateral). The rights described above in this Section 14.39(A) may be exercised by any entity which owns and controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in any Co-Lender.

(B) Borrower shall (or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to): (a) pay all principal, interest and other sums required to be paid by Mortgage Borrower under and pursuant to the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Documents; (b) diligently perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Documents on the part of Mortgage Borrower to be performed and observed, unless such performance or observance shall be waived in writing by Mortgage Lender; (c) promptly notify Lender of the giving of any written notice by Mortgage Lender to Mortgage Borrower or Borrower of any default by Mortgage Borrower in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Mortgage Loan Documents on the part of Mortgage Borrower to be performed or observed and deliver to Lender a true copy of each such notice; (d) deliver a true, correct and complete copy of all notices, demands, requests or material correspondence (including electronically transmitted items) given or received by Mortgage Borrower or Guarantor to or from the Mortgage Lender or its agent; and (e) not enter into or be bound by any Mortgage Loan Documents entered into after the Closing Date that are not approved by Lender. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to fund all reserves required to be funded pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents.

(C) Borrower agrees to notify Lender promptly upon the occurrence of any default under the Mortgage Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, if there shall occur and be continuing any Mortgage Loan Event of Default, Borrower hereby expressly agrees that Lender shall have the immediate right, without prior notice to Borrower, but shall be under no obligation: (i) to pay all or any part of the Mortgage Loan and any other sums that are then due and payable, and to perform any act or take any action on behalf of Borrower and/or Mortgage Borrower as may be appropriate, to cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Documents on the part of Mortgage Borrower to be performed or observed thereunder to be promptly performed or observed; and (ii) to pay any other amounts and take any other action as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall deem advisable to protect or preserve the rights and interests of Lender in the Loan and/or the Collateral. All sums so paid and the costs and expenses incurred by Lender in exercising rights under this Section 14.39(C) (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (i) shall constitute additional advances of the Loan to Borrower, (ii) shall increase the then unpaid principal amount of the Loan, (iii) shall bear interest at the Default Rate for the period from the date that such costs or expenses were incurred to the date of payment to Lender, (iv) shall constitute a portion of the Obligations, and (v) shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including

reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not suit is brought, and settlement costs) and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Lender as a result of the foregoing actions, except to the extent arising from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender, its agents or employees. Lender shall have no obligation to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or any other party to make any such payment or performance. Borrower shall not impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, and shall not permit Mortgage Borrower to impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, any effort or action on the part of Lender to cure any default or asserted default under the Mortgage Loan, or to otherwise protect or preserve Lender’s interests in the Loan and the Collateral following a default or asserted default under the Mortgage Loan.

(D) Borrower hereby grants Lender and any person designated by Lender the right to enter upon the Property at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, or the assertion by Mortgage Lender that a Mortgage Loan Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, for the purpose of taking any such action or to appear in, defend or bring any action or proceeding to protect Borrower’s, Mortgage Borrower’s and/or Lender’s interest. Lender may take such action as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to carry out the intents and purposes of this subsection (including communicating with Mortgage Lender with respect to any Mortgage Loan defaults), without prior notice to, or consent from, Borrower. Lender shall have no obligation to complete any cure or attempted cure undertaken or commenced by Lender. If Lender shall receive a copy of any notice of a Mortgage Loan Event of Default sent by Mortgage Lender to Mortgage Borrower, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in good faith, in reliance thereon. As a material inducement to Lender’s making the Loan, Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and waives all claims against Lender arising out of Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies provided in this Section 18.2(D), except for Lender’s gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct. In the event that Lender makes any payment in respect of the Mortgage Loan, Lender shall be subrogated to all of the rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents against the Property, in addition to all other rights it may have under the Loan Documents.

(E) Borrower shall (or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to), from time to time, use reasonable efforts to obtain from Mortgage Lender such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by Mortgage Borrower with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender. In the event or to the extent that Mortgage Lender is not legally obligated to deliver such certificates of estoppel and is unwilling to deliver the same, or is legally obligated to deliver such certificates of estoppel but breaches such obligation, then Borrower shall not be in breach of this provision so long as Borrower furnishes to Lender an estoppel executed by Borrower and Mortgage Borrower expressly representing to Lender the information requested by Lender regarding compliance by Mortgage Borrower with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not suit is brought and settlement costs) and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender based in whole or in part upon any fact, event, condition, or circumstances relating to the Mortgage Loan which was misrepresented in, or which warrants disclosure and was omitted from such estoppel executed by Borrower and Mortgage Borrower.

(F) Without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not cause or permit Mortgage Borrower to amend, supplement, terminate, extend (except pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement), renew, replace or otherwise modify any of the Mortgage Loan Documents, in each case, in any material respect. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to provide Lender with a copy of any amendment or modification to the Mortgage Loan Documents within five (5) days after the execution thereof.

(G) Neither Borrower nor Mortgage Borrower nor any Affiliate of either of them shall acquire or agree to acquire the Mortgage Loan, or any portion thereof or any interest therein, or any direct or indirect ownership interest in the holder of the Mortgage Loan, via purchase, transfer, exchange or otherwise, and any breach or attempted breach of this provision shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder. If, solely by operation of applicable subrogation law, Borrower or Mortgage Borrower or any Affiliate of either of them shall have failed to comply with the foregoing, then Borrower: (i) shall immediately notify Lender of such failure; (ii) shall cause any and all such prohibited parties acquiring any interest in the Mortgage Loan Documents: (A) not to enforce the Mortgage Loan Documents; and (B) upon the request of Lender, to the extent any of such prohibited parties has or have the power or authority to do so, to promptly: (1) cancel the promissory note evidencing the Mortgage Loan, (2) reconvey and release the lien securing the Mortgage Loan and any other collateral under the Mortgage Loan Documents, and (3) discontinue and terminate any enforcement proceeding(s) under the Mortgage Loan Documents.

(H) Lender shall have the right at any time to acquire all or any portion of the Mortgage Loan or any interest in any holder of, or participant in, the Mortgage Loan without notice or consent of Borrower or any other Borrower Party, in which event Lender shall have and may exercise all rights of Mortgage Lender thereunder (to the extent of its interest), including the right (i) to declare a Mortgage Loan Event of Default and (ii) to accelerate the Mortgage Loan indebtedness, in accordance with the terms thereof and (iii) to pursue all remedies against any obligor under the Mortgage Loan Documents. In addition, Borrower hereby expressly agrees that any claims, counterclaims, defenses, offsets, deductions or reductions of any kind which Mortgage Borrower or any other Person may have against Mortgage Lender relating to or arising out of the Mortgage Loan shall be the personal obligation of Mortgage Lender, and in no event shall Mortgage Borrower be entitled to bring, pursue or raise any such claims, counterclaims, defenses, offsets, deductions or reductions against Lender or any Affiliate of Lender or any other Person as the successor holder of the Mortgage Loan or any interest therein, provided that Mortgage Borrower may seek specific performance of its contractual rights under the Mortgage Loan Documents.

(I) Without the express prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not, and Borrower shall not cause, suffer or permit Mortgage Borrower to, enter into any deed-in-lieu or consensual foreclosure with or for the benefit of Mortgage Lender or any of its affiliates. Without the express prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not, and Borrower shall not cause, suffer or permit Mortgage Borrower to, enter into any consensual sale or other transaction in connection with the Mortgage Loan which could diminish, modify, terminate, impair or otherwise adversely affect the interests of Lender or Borrower, the Collateral or any portion thereof or any interest therein or of Mortgage Borrower in the Property or portion thereof or any interest therein.

(J) Except as expressly permitted by the Mortgage Loan Documents and the Loan Documents, Borrower shall not make or permit to be made any partial or full prepayment of amounts owing under the Mortgage Loan or any refinancing of the Mortgage Loan without the prior written consent of Lender, unless such prepayment or refinancing includes the payment of the Loan in full.

(K) In connection with the exercise of its rights set forth in the Loan Documents, Lender shall have the right at any time to discuss the Property, the Collateral, the Mortgage Loan, the Loan or any other matter directly with Mortgage Lender or Mortgage Lender’s consultants, agents or representatives without notice to or permission from Borrower or any other Borrower Party, and Lender shall not have any obligation to disclose such discussions or the contents thereof with Borrower or any other Borrower Party.

(L) If any action, proposed action or other decision is consented to or approved by Mortgage Lender, such consent or approval shall not be binding or controlling on Lender. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the risks of Mortgage Lender in making the Mortgage Loan are different from the risks of Lender in making the Loan, (ii) in determining whether to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval Mortgage Lender and Lender may reasonably reach different conclusions, and (iii) Lender has an absolute independent right to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval based on its own point of view. Further, the denial by Lender of a requested consent or approval in accordance with the Loan Documents shall not create any liability or other obligation of Lender if the denial of such consent or approval results directly or indirectly in a default under the Mortgage Loan, and Borrower hereby waives any claim of liability against Lender arising from any such denial.
