The Loan shall be evidenced by that certain Promissory Note of even date herewith, in the stated principal amount of One Hundred Ten Million Eight Hundred Ninety-Nine Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($110,899,000.00) executed by Borrowers and payable to the order of Lender in evidence of the Loan (as the same may hereafter be amended, supplemented, restated, increased, extended, severed or consolidated from time to time, the “Note”) and shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Note.

          2.1.4 Use of Proceeds. Borrowers shall use proceeds of the Loan to (i) pay and discharge any existing loans relating to the Properties, (ii) pay all past-due Taxes, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges, if any, in respect of the Properties, (iii) make initial deposits of the Reserve Funds, (iv) pay costs and expenses incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan as approved by Lender, and (v) fund any working capital requirements of the Property as approved by Lender. Any excess proceeds may be used for any lawful purpose.

     2.2 Interest Rate.

          2.2.1 Interest Rate. Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall accrue throughout the Term at the Interest Rate.

          2.2.2 Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Outstanding Principal Balance and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of the Loan, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be paid immediately upon demand, which demand may be made as frequently as Lender shall elect.

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

Pool 1

          2.2.4 Usury Savings. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrowers be required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrowers are at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

     2.3 Loan Payments.

          2.3.1 Payments. Borrowers shall pay to Lender (a) on the date hereof, an amount equal to interest only on the Outstanding Principal Balance from the Closing Date up to and including December 11, 2005 (the “Initial Interest Period”); (b) on each Monthly Payment Date thereafter beginning on January 11, 2006 up to and including December 11, 2009, a payment of interest only computed at the Interest Rate on the Outstanding Principal Balance for the applicable Interest Period (the “Monthly Interest Payment”); (c) on each Monthly Payment Date thereafter beginning on January 11, 2010 and continuing throughout the balance of the Term, a payment of principal and interest in an amount equal to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, which payments shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and the balance to the Outstanding Principal Balance; and (d) all amounts required in respect of Reserve Funds as set forth in Article 6 hereof.

          2.3.2 Payments Generally. After the Initial Interest Period, each interest accrual period thereafter (each, an “Interest Period”) shall commence on the eleventh (11th) day of each calendar month during the Term and shall end on and include the tenth (10th) day of the next occurring calendar month. For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating interest accrual periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day. Lender shall have the right from time to time, in its sole discretion, upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Borrowers, to change the Monthly Payment Date to a different calendar day each month which is not more than five (5) days earlier nor more than five (5) days later than the eleventh day of each calendar month; provided, however, that if Lender shall have elected to change the Monthly Payment Date as aforesaid, Lender shall have the option, but not the obligation, to adjust the Interest Period accordingly. With respect to payments of principal 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 day immediately preceding such

          2.3.4 Late Payment Charge.

Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents.

          2.3.5 Method and Place of Payment.

          (a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office or at such other place as Lender shall from time to time designate, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

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

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

On any Monthly Payment Date occurring prior to the Securitization of the Loan and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers may, at their option and upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender, prepay the Outstanding Principal Balance in whole but not in part provided that such prepayment is accompanied by an amount equal to the greatest of (a) the Yield Maintenance Premium, (b) one percent (1.0%) of the Outstanding Principal Balance, and (c) Hedge Losses. On the Prepayment Lockout Expiration Date, or on any Monthly Payment Date thereafter, Borrowers may, at their option and upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender, prepay the Outstanding Principal Balance in whole but not in part without payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium.

Pool 1

          2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments.

          (a) If Lender is not obligated to make Net Proceeds available to any Borrower for Restoration, on the next occurring Monthly Payment Date following the date on which (i) Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, and (ii) Lender has determined that such Net Proceeds shall be applied against the Outstanding Principal Balance, Borrowers shall prepay, or authorize Lender to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of, the Outstanding Principal Balance in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2. Any partial prepayment under this Section 2.4.2 shall be applied to the last payments of principal due under the Loan.

          (b) If any prepayment under this Section 2.4.2 results in the payment in full of all principal and interest due on the Loan and all other amounts due under the Loan Documents, Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrowers, release the Liens of the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents.

          (c) In the event that following the occurrence of a Casualty or a Condemnation with respect to any Property, Lender is not obligated to make the Net Proceeds available to the applicable Borrower for Restoration and has determined that such Net Proceeds shall be applied against the Outstanding Principal Balance pursuant to Section 2.4.2(a), then, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower that owns such Property shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to obtain a release of the Liens of the Mortgage encumbering such Property and the other related Loan Documents by: (i) delivering written notice to Lender of its election to obtain a release of such Property within ten (10) days after receiving notice from Lender that Lender intends to apply such Net Proceeds to the Outstanding Principal Balance, and (ii) paying to Lender within sixty (60) days after receiving notice from Lender that Lender intends to apply such Net Proceeds to the Outstanding Principal Balance, in addition to such Net Proceeds, an amount equal to the sum of (A) the Release Amount for such Property minus the amount of such Net Proceeds applied to the Outstanding Principal Balance, plus (B) if such prepayment occurs on a day other than a Monthly Payment Date, interest at the Interest Rate on the amount so prepaid through, but not including, the next succeeding Monthly Payment Date. Such Borrower shall prepare and submit to Lender the release of Mortgage (and related Loan Documents) for the Property to be released for execution by Lender, which documents shall be in a form appropriate for the jurisdiction in which such Property is located; provided that such Borrower’s obligation to indemnify and hold harmless Lender pursuant to the provisions of the Loan Documents shall survive any such release to the extent expressly stated therein.

          2.4.3 Prepayments After Default. If after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrowers or otherwise recovered by Lender (including through application of any Reserve Funds), such tender or recovery shall be deemed (a) to have been made on the next occurring Monthly Payment Date together with the Monthly Interest Payment or the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, as applicable, and (b) to be a voluntary prepayment by Borrowers in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 hereof, and Borrowers shall pay,

               (i) not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice shall be given to Lender specifying a date (the “Release Date”) on which the Defeasance Collateral is to be delivered, such Release Date to occur only on a Monthly Payment Date;

               (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest and all other sums due under the Note and under the other Loan Documents up to the Release Date, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses incurred by Lender or its agents in connection with such release (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses incurred by attorneys and accountants in connection with the review of the proposed Defeasance Collateral and the preparation of the Defeasance Security Agreement and related documentation), shall be paid in full on or prior to the Release Date;

                    (C) a certificate of Borrowers certifying that all of the requirements set forth in this Section 2.5 have been satisfied;

                    (D) an opinion of counsel for Borrowers in form and substance and delivered by counsel satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion stating among other things, that (1) Lender has a perfected first priority security interest in the Defeasance Collateral and that the Defeasance Security Agreement is enforceable against Borrowers in accordance with its terms; and (2) any REMIC Trust formed pursuant to a Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code as a result of such defeasance;

                    (G) such other certificates, documents or instruments as Lender may reasonably require.

          (b) In connection with the conditions set forth in Section 2.5.1(a)(iv) above, each Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of using the amounts delivered pursuant to Section 2.5.1(a)(iv)(A) above to purchase the Defeasance Collateral.

          (c) Any Borrower may obtain the release of its Property from the lien of the related Mortgage (and the other Loan Documents) only upon the satisfaction of the additional following covenants:

               (i) Borrowers must certify to Lender that after giving effect to such partial defeasance, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the remaining Properties that will remain subject to the lien of the Mortgages shall be not less than the greater of (A) the Closing DSCR, and (2) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (determined by including the Property to be released) for the twelve (12) full calendar months immediately preceding the Release Date, which certification shall be accompanied by such evidence in support thereof as Lender may reasonably require;

          2.5.2 Release of Property.

          (a) Upon compliance with the requirements of this Section 2.5.2, all of the Properties shall be released from the Lien of the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents (or, in the case of a partial defeasance, the applicable Property shall be released from the Lien of the related Mortgage and the other Loan Documents), and the Defeasance Collateral shall constitute the only collateral which shall secure the Note or the Defeased Note, as the case may be. Lender will, at Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver any agreements reasonably requested by Borrowers to release the Lien of the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents from all of the Properties (or, in the case of a partial defeasance, to release the Lien of the related Mortgage and the related Loan Documents from the applicable Property). Borrowers, pursuant to the Defeasance Security Agreement, shall authorize and direct that the payments received from Defeasance Collateral be made directly to Lender and applied to satisfy the Obligations under the Note or the Defeased Note, as applicable, including payment in full of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Loan or the outstanding principal balance of the Defeased Note, as applicable, as of the Prepayment Lockout Expiration Date. In the case of a partial defeasance, Lender shall refund to the applicable Borrower owning the Property being defeased that portion of the Reserve Funds then held by Lender that are allocated to the Property being defeased as reasonably determined by Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.5 or elsewhere in this Agreement, in the event that, in connection with one or more partial defeasances, Borrowers deliver Defeasance Collateral in an aggregate amount sufficient to repay in full the Outstanding Principal Balance and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, all remaining Properties shall be released from the Lien of the Mortgages.

Upon the release of the Properties or an individual Property, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 2.5.2, Borrowers (or in the case of a partial defeasance, the applicable Borrower) may, or at the option of Lender shall, assign all of their (or its) Obligations under the Note or the Defeased Note, as applicable, together with the pledged Defeasance Collateral, to a successor entity designated by Borrowers (or in the case of a partial defeasance, the applicable Borrower) and approved by Lender in its sole discretion. Such successor entity shall execute an assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion pursuant to which it shall assume the Obligations of Borrowers under the Note (or, if applicable, the Undefeased Note and the Defeased Note) and the Defeasance Security Agreement. As conditions to such assignment and assumption, Borrowers shall (a) deliver to Lender an opinion of counsel in form and substance and delivered by counsel satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion stating, among other things, that such assumption

Pool 1

agreement is enforceable against Borrowers and such successor entity in accordance with its terms and that the Note (or, if applicable, the Undefeased Note and the Defeased Note), the Defeasance Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as so assumed, are enforceable against such successor entity in accordance with their respective terms, and (b) pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lender or its agents in connection with such assignment and assumption (including, without limitation, the review of the proposed transferee and the preparation of the assumption agreement and related documentation). Upon such assumption, Borrowers (or in the case of a partial defeasance, the applicable Borrower) shall be relieved of their (or its) Obligations hereunder, under the other Loan Documents and under the Defeasance Security Agreement other than those Obligations which are specifically intended to survive the termination, satisfaction or assignment of this Agreement or the exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder, and the term “Borrowers” or the term “Borrower” shall be deemed revised accordingly.

          2.5.4 Appointment as Attorney in Fact. Upon the release of any Property or Properties in accordance with Section 2.5.2, Borrowers shall have no further right to prepay the Note or the Defeased Note, as applicable, pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 2.5 or otherwise. In connection with the conditions set forth in this Section 2.5, each Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of purchasing the Defeasance Collateral with funds provided by Borrowers. Borrowers shall pay any and all expenses incurred in the purchase of the Defeasance Collateral and any revenue, documentary stamp or intangible taxes or any other tax or charge due in connection with the transfer of the Note or the Defeased Note, as applicable, or otherwise required to accomplish the agreements of this paragraph.

     2.6 Substitution of Properties.

          2.6.1 Conditions to Substitution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.6.1, a Borrower may, at any time after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, obtain a release of the Lien of the applicable Mortgage and the other Loan Documents encumbering its Property (each, a “Substituted Property”) by substituting therefor another improved parcel of real property of like kind, use, utility and quality that is acquired in fee simple by an Affiliate of such Borrower who is a Qualified Substitute Borrower, which property is in a similar geographical area as the Substituted Property and shall in no event be part of a vertical subdivision, be subject to a declaration of condominium or other similar type of agreement or be subject to a ground lease (a “Qualified Substitute Property”), provided that each of the following conditions precedent are satisfied (with all due diligence materials enumerated below being received by Lender at least forty-five (45) days prior to the date of substitution (the “Substitution Date”)):

The Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases, the UCC-1 financing statements and the Environmental Indemnity referenced above shall be the same in form and substance as the counterparts of such documents executed and delivered with respect to the related Substituted Property, subject to modifications reflecting only the Qualified Substitute Borrower and the Qualified Substitute Property and such modifications reflecting the laws of the state in which the Qualified Substitute Property is located as shall be recommended for similar transactions by the counsel admitted to practice in such state and delivering the opinion as to the enforceability of such documents required pursuant to clause (t) below. The Mortgage encumbering the Qualified Substitute Property shall secure all amounts evidenced by the Note, provided that in the event that the jurisdiction in which the Qualified Substitute Property is located imposes a mortgage recording, intangibles or similar tax and does not permit the allocation of indebtedness for the purpose of determining the amount of such tax payable, the principal amount secured by such Mortgage shall be equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the fair market value of the Qualified Substitute Property. The principal amount of the Loan allocated to the Qualified Substitute Property (such amount being hereinafter referred to as the “Substitute Allocated Loan Amount”) shall equal the Allocated Loan Amount of the related Substituted Property;

          (o) Lender shall have received (i) a Title Insurance Policy (or a marked, signed and redated commitment to issue such Title Insurance Policy) insuring that such Qualified Substitute Borrower owns a fee simple estate in the entire Qualified Substitute Property and insuring the Lien of the Mortgage encumbering the Qualified Substitute Property, issued by the Title Companies and dated as of the Substitution Date, with reinsurance and direct access agreements or co-insurance endorsements in the same form as such agreements or endorsements issued in connection with the Title Insurance Policy insuring the Lien of the Mortgage encumbering the Substituted Property, and (ii) to the extent available, a “tie in” or similar endorsement to each Title Insurance Policy insuring the Lien of an existing Mortgage as of the Substitution Date with respect to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the Lien of the Mortgage encumbering the Qualified Substitute Property. The Title Insurance Policy issued with respect to the Qualified Substitute Property shall (A) provide coverage in the amount of the Substitute Allocated Loan Amount if the “tie-in” or similar endorsement described above is available or, if

Pool 1

such endorsement is not available, in an amount equal to the least of one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the fair market value of the Qualified Substitute Property, one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Substitute Allocated Loan Amount and the maximum amount (if any) permitted under applicable Legal Requirements in the state where the Qualified Substitute Property is located, (B) insure Lender that the relevant Mortgage creates a valid first lien on the Qualified Substitute Property encumbered thereby, free and clear of all exceptions from coverage other than Permitted Encumbrances and standard exceptions and exclusions from coverage (as modified by the terms of any endorsements), (C) contain such endorsements and affirmative coverages as are then available and are contained in the Title Insurance Policies insuring the Liens of the existing Mortgages, including insuring that the Qualified Substitute Property constitutes a separate tax lot, and (D) name Lender, its successors and assigns, as the insured. Lender also shall have received copies of paid receipts or other evidence showing that all premiums in respect of such endorsements and Title Insurance Policy have been paid;

          (p) Lender shall have received a current survey for the Qualified Substitute Property, certified to the Title Companies and Lender and their successors and assigns, in the same form and having the same content as the certification of the survey of the Substituted Property, prepared by a professional land surveyor licensed in the State in which the Qualified Substitute Property is located and acceptable to the Rating Agencies in accordance with the Accuracy Standards for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys as adopted by ALTA, the American Congress on Surveying & Mapping and the National Society of Professional Surveyors in 1999. Such survey shall reflect the same legal description contained in the Title Insurance Policy relating to the Qualified Substitute Property and shall include, among other things, a metes and bounds description of the real property comprising part of the Qualified Substitute Property (unless such real property has been satisfactorily designated by lot number on a recorded plat). The surveyor’s seal shall be affixed to such survey and such survey shall certify whether or not the surveyed property is located in a “one-hundred-year flood hazard area”;

          (q) Lender shall have received valid certificates of insurance indicating that the requirements for the policies of insurance required for a Property hereunder have been satisfied with respect to the Qualified Substitute Property and evidence of the payment of all premiums payable for the existing policy period;

          (r) Lender shall have received a Phase I environmental report issued and certified by a recognized environmental consultant reasonably acceptable to Lender and in form and substance acceptable to Lender and each Rating Agency and, if recommended under the Phase I environmental report, a Phase II environmental report acceptable to Lender and each Rating Agency, which reports conclude that the Qualified Substitute Property does not contain any hazardous materials, is not subject to any risk of contamination from any off-site hazardous materials and complies in every respect with all environmental laws and that there is no further action or investigation required or recommended with regard to the Qualified Substitute Property;

          (s) Such Qualified Substitute Borrower shall have delivered or caused to be delivered to Lender (i) a structure chart for such Qualified Substitute Borrower, (ii) copies of all organizational documentation related to such Qualified Substitute Borrower certified as being

Upon receipt of the structure chart for such Qualified Substitute Borrower, Lender shall order, and Borrowers shall pay the cost of, Uniform Commercial Code, judgment, litigation and tax lien filings that may have been filed with respect to such Qualified Substitute Borrower and its principals, and the results of such search shall not show any adverse matter;

          (t) Lender shall have received the following opinions of such Qualified Substitute Borrower’s counsel: (i) an opinion or opinions of counsel stating (A) that the Loan Documents delivered with respect to the Qualified Substitute Borrower and the Qualified Substitute Property are valid and enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to the laws applicable to creditors’ rights and equitable principles, (B) that such Qualified Substitute Borrower is validly formed, duly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of its formation, (C) that such Qualified Substitute Borrower is qualified to do business and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction where the Qualified Substitute Property is located or that such Qualified Substitute Borrower is not required by applicable law to qualify to do business in such jurisdiction, and (D) such other opinions substantially the same as the opinions that were rendered in connection with the origination of the Loan (modified to reflect the current transaction) as Lender may require; (ii) an opinion of counsel stating that the Loan Documents delivered with respect to the Qualified Substitute Borrower and the Qualified Substitute Property were duly authorized, executed and delivered by the party or parties executing the same and that the execution and delivery of such Loan Documents and the performance by the parties thereto of their obligations thereunder will not cause a breach of, or a default under, any agreement, document or instrument to which it is a party or to which it or its properties are bound; (iii) an opinion of counsel stating that subjecting the Qualified Substitute Property to the Lien of the related Mortgage and the execution and delivery of the related Loan Documents does not and will not affect or impair the ability of Lender to enforce its remedies under all of the Loan Documents or, subject to any restrictions required by applicable Legal Requirements, to realize the benefits of the cross-collateralization provided for thereunder; (iv) an update of the Insolvency Opinion indicating that the substitution does not affect the opinions set forth therein; (v) an additional substantive non-consolidation opinion with respect to the Qualified Substitute Borrower; and (vi) if the Loan is part of a Securitization and if requested by Lender, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Rating Agencies confirming that the substitution shall not constitute a “significant modification” of the Loan within the meaning of Section 1.1001-3 of the regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury or otherwise violate any of the provisions of the federal income tax law relating to real estate mortgage investment conduits,

Pool 1

which appear at Section 860A through 860G of Subchapter M of Chapter 1 of the Code, as amended, and related provisions and regulations (including any applicable proposed regulations) and rulings promulgated thereunder, as the foregoing may be in effect from time to time. The counsel rendering the foregoing opinions shall be admitted, as applicable to the opinions rendered, to practice under the laws of the State in which the Qualified Substitute Property is located, the State of New York and the State where the Qualified Substitute Borrower is organized and shall be acceptable to Lender and, if the Loan is part of a Securitization, the Rating Agencies;

          (y) Lender shall have received copies of all Leases affecting the Qualified Substitute Property certified by such Qualified Substitute Borrower as being true, correct and complete;

          (ii) Lender shall have received evidence that all requirements for the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Property for the Substituted Property and the release of such Borrower and the joinder of such Qualified Substitute Borrower set forth in any Permitted Mezzanine Debt then in effect have been satisfied; and

Pool 1

Upon the satisfaction of the foregoing conditions precedent, Lender, at the sole cost and expense of Borrowers, will release its Lien from the Substituted Property to be released and the corresponding Borrower shall no longer be a Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents except to the extent of any obligation of such Borrower to indemnify and hold harmless Lender pursuant to the provisions of the Loan Documents that are expressly stated to survive a release of any Property or repayment of the Debt. If the substitution is to occur after the final sale of the Loan in a Securitization, then any and all approvals or consents of Lender under this Section 2.6.1 shall be made and determined by Lender based on a reasonable prudent lender standard.

          2.6.2 Definition of Property. Upon the closing of the substitution of any Property, all references herein to the term “Properties” or the term “Property” shall be deemed to exclude the Substituted Property and to include the Qualified Substitute Property, and the Substitute Allocated Loan Amount with respect to such Qualified Substitute Property shall be deemed to be the Allocated Loan Amount with respect to such Qualified Substitute Property for all purposes hereunder.

          2.6.3 Definition of Borrower. Upon the closing of the substitution of any Property, all references herein to the term “Borrowers” or the term “Borrower” shall be deemed to include the Qualified Substitute Borrower and to exclude the Borrower owning the Substituted Property except to the extent of any obligation of such Borrower to indemnify and hold harmless Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement that are expressly stated to survive a release of any Property or repayment of the Debt.

     2.7 Contribution.

          (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, the obligations of each Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be joint and several. On any date a payment with respect to any of the Obligations or amounts now or hereafter owing by any guarantor in respect of the Loan Documents, is made, the right of contribution, if any, of each Borrower or any guarantor (each an “Obligor”) against each Contributor (as hereinafter defined) shall be determined as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, with the right of contribution of each Obligor to be revised and restated as of each such date. At any time that a payment (a “Relevant Payment”) is made by an Obligor in respect of the Obligations and results in the aggregate payments made by such Obligor in respect of the Obligations to and including the date of such Relevant Payment exceeding such Obligor’s Contribution Percentage (as defined below) of the aggregate payments made by all Obligors in respect of the Obligations to and including such date (such excess, the “Aggregate Excess Amount”), each such Obligor shall have a right of contribution against each Contributor who has made payments in respect of the Obligations to and including such date in an aggregate amount less than such Contributor’s Contribution Percentage of the aggregate payments made to and including such date by all Obligors in respect of the Obligations (the aggregate amount of such deficit, the “Aggregate Deficit Amount”) in an amount equal to (i) a fraction the numerator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of such Obligor and the denominator of which is the sum of the Aggregate Excess Amounts of all Obligors multiplied by (ii) the Aggregate Deficit Amount of such Contributor. An Obligor’s right of contribution, if

Pool 1

any, pursuant to this paragraph shall arise at the time of each computation, subject to adjustment at the time of subsequent computations; provided that such Obligor may not take any action to enforce such right until the Obligations have been paid in full, it being expressly recognized and agreed by all Obligors that any Obligor’s right of contribution arising pursuant hereto against any Contributor shall be expressly junior and subordinate to such Contributor’s obligations and liabilities in respect of the Obligations. As used in this Section 2.7, (A) “Contributor” shall mean each Obligor required to make any payment to any other Obligor pursuant to this Section 2.7(a), (B) the “Contribution Percentage” of each Obligor shall mean the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the Benefit Amount (as hereinafter defined) of such Obligor by (y) the aggregate Benefit Amount of all Obligors and (C) the “Benefit Amount” of each Obligor shall mean the net value of the benefits to such Obligor from the credit extensions made under the Loan Documents.

          (b) Each of the Obligors recognizes and agrees that, except for any right of contribution arising pursuant to this Section 2.7, each Obligor which makes any payment in respect of the Obligations shall have no right of contribution, reimbursement or subrogation against any other Obligor in respect of such payment, any such right of contribution, reimbursement or subrogation arising under law or otherwise being expressly waived by all Obligors.

          (c) Each of the Obligors recognizes and acknowledges that the rights to contribution arising hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of the party entitled to such contribution. In this connection, each Obligor has the right to waive its contribution right against any Contributor to the extent that after giving effect to such waiver such Obligor would remain solvent in the determination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 3

     3.1 Borrowers’ Representations. Each Borrower represents and warrants that, except to the extent (if any) disclosed on Schedule 6 attached hereto with reference to a specific Section of this Article 3, the following are true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date:

Pool 1

          3.1.2 Proceedings.

          3.1.3 No Conflicts. The execution and delivery by each Borrower, Operating Lessee and each Guarantor of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which they are respectively a party and the performance of their Obligations hereunder and thereunder will not conflict with any provision of any law or regulation to which any Borrower, Operating Lessee or any Guarantor is subject, or conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any of the organizational documents of any Borrower, Operating Lessee or any Guarantor or any agreement or instrument to which any Borrower, Operating Lessee or any Guarantor is a party or by which it is bound, or any order or decree applicable to any Borrower, Operating Lessee or any Guarantor, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of the assets or property of any Borrower, Operating Lessee or any Guarantor (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents).

          3.1.4 Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 6 attached hereto, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to Borrowers’ knowledge, threatened against any Borrower, SPE Party, Operating Lessee, any Guarantor, any Manager or any Property in any court or by or before any other Governmental Authority which, if adversely determined, would materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of any Borrower (including the ability of any Borrower to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), SPE Party, Operating Lessee, any Guarantor or any Manager or the condition or ownership of the Properties; provided that if a Manager is not an Affiliate of any Borrower, the representation set forth in this Section 3.1.4 as to such Manager is made to Borrowers’ knowledge.

          3.1.5 Agreements. None of any Borrower, Operating Lessee or any Guarantor is in default with respect to any order or decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any Governmental Authority, which default might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or other) or operations of such Borrower, Operating Lessee or such Guarantor or its properties or might have consequences that would adversely affect its performance hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party. None of any Borrower, Operating Lessee or any Guarantor is in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any Permitted Encumbrance or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of the Properties is bound.

          3.1.6 Consents. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or Governmental Authority is required for the execution, delivery and performance by any Borrower, Operating

Pool 1

Lessee or any Guarantor of, or compliance by any Borrower, Operating Lessee or any Guarantor with, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to which it is a party or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, other than those which have been obtained by such Person.

          3.1.7 Title. Each Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the Property with respect to which it has granted a Lien under a Mortgage, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances. Each Mortgage, each Assignment of Leases and the Security Agreement, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority Lien on the interest of Borrowers and Operating Lessee in each of the Properties, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances. There are no mechanics’, materialman’s or other similar Liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or materials affecting any Property which are or may be Liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the Lien of the Mortgage. None of the Permitted Encumbrances affecting any Property, individually or in the aggregate, (i) materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgages and this Agreement, (ii) materially and adversely affect the value of any Property, (iii) impair the use or operations of any Property in any material respect, or (iv) impair Borrowers’ ability to pay the Obligations in a timely manner.

          3.1.8 No Plan Assets. As of the date hereof and throughout the Term (a) none of any Borrower or Operating Lessee is or will become an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, (b) none of the assets of any Borrower or Operating Lessee constitute or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, (c) none of any Borrower or Operating Lessee is or will become a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (d) transactions by or with any Borrower or Operating Lessee are not and will not be subject to state statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans.

          3.1.9 Compliance. Each Borrower and its Property and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including parking, building and zoning and land use laws, ordinances, regulations and codes, except as set forth in the applicable Zoning Report. None of any Borrower or Operating Lessee is in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority, the violation of which might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of such Borrower or Operating Lessee. None of any Borrower or Operating Lessee has committed any act that may give any Governmental Authority the right to cause such Borrower or Operating Lessee to forfeit any Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrowers’ Obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Each of the Properties is used exclusively for hotel and other appurtenant and related uses. In the event that all or any part of the Improvements on any 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

Pool 1

same use without violating any zoning or other ordinances applicable thereto and without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special permits, except as set forth in the applicable Zoning Report. No legal proceedings are pending or, to the knowledge of Borrowers, threatened with respect to the zoning of any Property. Neither the zoning nor any other right to construct, use or operate any Property is in any way dependent upon or related to any property other than the Property owned by such Borrower. The use being made of each of the Properties is in conformity with the certificate of occupancy (or its equivalent) issued for such Property, if any, and all other restrictions, covenants and conditions affecting such Property in all material respects.

          3.1.10 Financial Information. All financial data, including the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in respect of each Property (a) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (b) accurately represent the financial condition of such Property as of the date of such reports, and (c) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Neither any Borrower nor Operating Lessee has 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 any Borrower and are reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on any of the Properties or the operation thereof, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements. Since the date of the financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of any Borrower, Operating Lessee or the Properties from that set forth in said financial statements.

          3.1.11 Condemnation. No Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to any Borrower’s knowledge, is contemplated with respect to all or any portion of any Property or for the relocation of roadways providing access to any Property.

          3.1.12 Easements; Utilities and Public Access. All easements, cross easements, licenses, air rights and rights-of-way or other similar property interests (collectively, “Easements”), if any, necessary for the utilization of the Improvements located on each Property for their intended purposes in all material respects have been obtained, are described in the Title Insurance Policies and are in full force and effect without default thereunder. Each Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service such Property for its intended uses. All public utilities necessary to the full use and enjoyment of each Property are located either in the public right-of-way abutting such Property (which are connected so as to serve such Property without passing over other property) or in recorded easements serving such Property. All roads necessary for the use of each Property for its current purpose have been completed and either (a) such roads have been dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities or (b) the owner of such Property has been granted a recorded easement over such road for access to and from such Property and such easement is set forth in and insured by the Title Insurance Policy covering such Property.

          3.1.13 Separate Lots. Each Property is comprised of one (1) or more parcels that constitute separate tax lots and do not constitute a portion of any other tax lot not a part of such Property.

Pool 1

          3.1.14 Assessments. Except as set forth in any Title Insurance Policy, there are no pending or proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting any Property, nor are there any contemplated improvements to any Property that may result in such special or other assessments.

          3.1.15 Enforceability.

To Borrowers’ knowledge, each Tenant is free from bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings. To Borrowers’ knowledge, no Tenant under any Lease is default under the terms and conditions of such Lease. No Tenant under any Lease (or any sublease) (other than the Operating Leases) is an Affiliate of any Borrower, except as may be otherwise disclosed on the Rent Roll Schedules, as appropriate.

Such Borrower will file its own tax returns (to the extent such Borrower is required to file any such tax returns) and will not file a consolidated federal income tax return with any other Person. Such Borrower has maintained and shall maintain its books, records, resolutions and agreements as official records.

          (o) Each Borrower’s general partner (the “SPE Party”) shall be a single member limited liability company whose sole asset is its interest in such Borrower and the other Borrowers, and SPE Party (i) will cause each Borrower to comply with each of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Section 3.1.24; (ii) will at all times comply with each of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Section 3.1.24 (other than subsections (a), (b) and (d)) as if such representation, warranty or covenant was made directly by SPE Party; (iii) will not engage in any business or activity other than owning an interest in each Borrower; (iv) will not acquire or own any assets other than its partnership interest in each Borrower; and (v) will not incur any debt, secured or unsecured, direct or contingent (including guaranteeing any obligation) other than unsecured trade payables incurred in the ordinary course of business related to the ownership of an interest in each Borrower that (A) do not exceed at any one time $50,000.00 in the aggregate with respect to all Borrowers, and (B) are paid within thirty (30) days after the date incurred.

SPE Party will not without the unanimous written consent of its board of directors or managers, including the Independent Directors, on behalf of itself or any Borrower, (i) file or consent to the filing of any petition, either voluntary or involuntary, to take advantage of any applicable insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization statute, (ii) seek or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator or any similar official, (iii) take any action that might cause such entity to become insolvent, or (iv) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors.

The organizational documents of SPE Party shall further provide that for so long as any portion of the Obligations is outstanding, no Special Member may resign or transfer its rights as Special Member unless (i) a successor Special Member has been admitted to SPE Party as a Special Member, and (ii) such successor Special Member has also accepted its appointment as an Independent Director.

In connection with the foregoing, such Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that it will comply with or cause the compliance with, (i) all of the facts and assumptions (whether regarding such Borrower, SPE Party or any other

Pool 1

Person) set forth in the Insolvency Opinion, (ii) all of the representations, warranties and covenants in this Section 3.1.24, and (iii) all of the organizational documents of such Borrower.

          (x) Such Borrower has compensated and shall compensate each of its consultants and agents from its own funds for services provided to it and pay from its own assets all obligations of any kind incurred.

          (y) Such Borrower has not, and without the unanimous consent of all of its partners (including all Independent Directors of its general partner), will not (i) file a bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization petition or otherwise institute insolvency proceedings or otherwise seek any relief under any laws relating to the relief from debts or the protection of debtors generally, (ii) seek or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator, custodian or any similar official for such entity or for all or any portion of its properties, (iii) make any assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or (iv) take any action that might cause such Borrower to become insolvent.

          (z) Such Borrower has maintained and will maintain an arm’s-length relationship with its Affiliates.

          (aa) Except in connection with the Loan, none of the assets of such Borrower are currently pledged for the benefit of any other Person and such Borrower will not pledge its assets for the benefit of any other Person.

          (bb) Such Borrower has and will have no obligation to indemnify its officers, directors, members or partners, as the case may be, or has such an obligation that is fully subordinated to the Debt and will not constitute a claim against such Borrower if cash flow in excess of the amount required to pay the Debt is insufficient to pay such obligation (provided that such subordination shall not apply to any errors and omissions insurance).

          (cc) The Independent Directors of the general partner of such Borrower will consider the interests of such Borrower’s creditors in connection with all partnership actions.

          (dd) Operating Lessee shall be a single member limited liability company whose sole asset is its interest in the Properties under the Operating Leases, and Operating Lessee (i) will at all times comply with each of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Section 3.1.24 (other than subsection (a)) as if such representation, warranty or covenant was made directly by Operating Lessee; (ii) will not engage in any business or activity other than managing and operating the Properties in accordance with the terms of the Operating

Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrowers’ aggregate assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrowers’ aggregate total liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrowers’ aggregate assets is, and immediately following the making of the Loan, will be, greater than Borrowers’ probable aggregate liabilities, including the maximum amount of their contingent liabilities on their debts as such debts become absolute and matured. The assets of each Borrower do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. No Borrower intends to, and does not believe that it will, incur Indebtedness and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such Indebtedness and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by such Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of the obligations of such Borrower).

          (a) Each Borrower will use its good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to comply, and cause Operating Lessee to comply, with the Patriot Act and all applicable requirements of Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over such Borrower, Operating Lessee and/or the Property owned by such Borrower, including those relating to money laundering and terrorism. Lender shall have the right to audit any Borrower’s and/or Operating Lessee’s compliance with the Patriot Act and all applicable requirements of Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over such Borrower, Operating Lessee and/or the Property owned by such Borrower, including those relating to money laundering and terrorism.

Pool 1

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

          (d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Section 5.1.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 5.1.1(a)(v), shall name the appropriate Borrower or Borrowers as the insured and Lender and its successors and/or assigns as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause (or its equivalent) in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender. Additionally, if any Borrower or Operating Lessee obtains property insurance coverage in addition to or in excess of that required by Section 5.1.1(a)(i), then such insurance policies shall also contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause (or its equivalent) in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.

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

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

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

If such terrorism coverage is available as aforesaid, Borrowers shall obtain and maintain such terrorism coverage in an amount equal to 100% of the Full Replacement Cost of each Property; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no Borrower shall be required to incur a cost for terrorism insurance that is in excess of 200% of the total cost of all Policies (not including the terrorism coverage) for its Property in the aggregate in respect of the annual policy period (the “Terrorism Insurance Cap”) and in the event the annual premium for terrorism coverage satisfying the requirements of this Section 5.1.1(h) shall exceed the Terrorism Insurance Cap, the applicable Borrower shall only be required to obtain and maintain terrorism coverage for as much of the coverage as is available for a premium equal to the Terrorism Insurance Cap.

          5.1.2 Insurance Company. All Policies required pursuant to Section 5.1.1: (a) shall be issued by companies licensed to do business in the state or commonwealth where the Properties are located, with a financial strength and claims paying ability rating of at least A:X from A.M.

Borrowers shall pay the Insurance Premiums annually in advance as the same become due and payable and shall furnish to Lender evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies with receipts for the payment of the Insurance Premiums or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender (provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be required to pay such Insurance Premiums nor furnish such evidence of payment to Lender in the event that the amounts required to pay such Insurance Premiums have been deposited into the Insurance Account pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof). In addition to the insurance coverages described in Section 5.1.1 above, Borrowers shall obtain such other insurance as may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender in order to protect its interests. Within thirty (30) days after request by Lender, Borrowers shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and practices, and the like.

     5.2 Casualty.

          (a) If any Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), the Borrower that owns such Property shall give prompt written notice thereof to Lender. Following the occurrence of a Casualty, the Borrower that owns the affected Property, regardless of whether Insurance Proceeds are available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the same to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction, all to be effected in accordance with applicable law (a “Restoration”). The expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of Insurance Proceeds shall become part of the Obligations, shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall be reimbursed by Borrowers to Lender upon demand. Notwithstanding any Casualty, Borrowers shall continue to pay the Obligations in the time and manner set forth in the Note and in this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of any Casualty, the Borrower that owns the affected Property shall (subject to the right of Lender to elect to do so as set forth in Section 5.2(b)), promptly file a proof of loss with the respective insurance company or companies insuring such Casualty.

          (b) In the event of a Casualty to any Property, so long as no Event of Default has occurred, the Borrower that owns such Property may settle and adjust any claim and agree with the insurance company or companies on the amount to be paid upon the loss (the “Insurance Proceeds”); provided that such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, and provided further that in the case of a Casualty where the damage to the applicable Property equals or exceeds the lesser of (x) $150,000.00 and (y) ten percent (10%) of the Allocated Loan Amount for such Property (a “Significant Casualty”), any such settlement shall have been approved by Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Pool 1

In the event the applicable Borrower fails to promptly file a proof of loss with respect to any Casualty or fails to promptly and diligently proceed to settle and adjust any claims with respect thereto, or if an Event of Default has occurred, then notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, Lender shall, at the sole cost and expense of Borrowers, have the right to file such proof of loss, settle and adjust such claim without the consent of any Borrower and agree with such insurance company or companies on the amount of the Insurance Proceeds in the place and stead of Borrowers and without the consent of Borrowers, and each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to do so. In the case of a Casualty that is not a Significant Casualty, provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred, (ii) the Restoration can be completed prior to the earlier to occur of (A) the date which is twelve (12) months following such Casualty and (B) the date which is twelve (12) months prior to the Stated Maturity Date, and (iii) such Restoration is permitted pursuant to the terms of the applicable Franchise Agreement, then the applicable Borrower is hereby authorized to collect and receipt for any Insurance Proceeds. Any Insurance Proceeds in connection with a Significant Casualty (whether or not Lender elects to settle and adjust the claim or any Borrower settles such claim) shall be due and payable solely to Lender and held by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event any Borrower or any party other than Lender is a payee on any check representing Insurance Proceeds with respect to any Casualty, such Borrower shall immediately endorse, and cause all such third parties to endorse, such check payable to the order of Lender. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to endorse any such check payable to the order of Lender. The expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of Insurance Proceeds shall become part of the Obligations, shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall be reimbursed by Borrowers to Lender upon demand. Each Borrower hereby releases Lender from any and all liability with respect to the settlement and adjustment by Lender of any claims in respect of any Casualty.

          (c) In the event of loss or damages covered by any of the Policies, the following provisions shall apply with respect to application of Insurance Proceeds:

               (i) In the event of a Significant Casualty to any Property where (A) in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the Restoration of such Property can be completed prior to the earlier to occur of (1) the date which is twelve (12) months following such Casualty and (2) the date which is twelve (12) months prior to the Stated Maturity Date, (B) such Restoration is permitted pursuant to the terms of the applicable Franchise Agreement, and (C) in the reasonable judgment of Lender, after completion of such Restoration, such Property will have a value at least equal to the value immediately prior to such Casualty and the Properties, together, will adequately secure the Outstanding Principal Balance, then, if no Event of Default shall have occurred, the Net Proceeds shall be applied to reimburse the Borrower that owns the affected Property for the cost of the Restoration in the manner set forth below. Borrowers hereby covenant and agree to commence and diligently to prosecute the Restoration; provided always, that Borrowers shall pay all costs of such Restoration in excess of the Net Proceeds made available pursuant to the terms hereof (and if required by Lender, Borrowers shall deposit such excess amount with Lender in advance).

               (ii) Except as provided in Section 5.2(c)(i) above, the Insurance Proceeds collected upon any Casualty shall, at the option of Lender in its sole discretion, be applied to the payment of the Obligations or applied to reimburse the applicable Borrower for the cost of the Restoration of the damaged Property in the manner set forth below. Throughout the term of the Loan if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then Borrowers shall pay to Lender, with respect to any payment of the Obligations pursuant to this Section 5.2(c)(ii), an additional amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium; provided, however, that if an Event of Default is not continuing, then the Yield Maintenance Premium shall not be payable. Any such application to the Debt shall (A) be applied to those payments of principal and interest last due under this Agreement but shall not postpone any payments otherwise required pursuant hereunder other than such last due payments and (B) not cause or result in the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount being re-cast based upon the reduction of the Outstanding Principal Balance and the number of months remaining until the Maturity Date.

               (iii) In the event any Borrower is entitled to reimbursement out of the Net Proceeds held by Lender, such Insurance Proceeds shall be disbursed from time to time by Lender so long as the following conditions have been satisfied:

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

                    (B) the Operating Lease relating to the damaged Property shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration without abatement of rent beyond the time required for Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of such Casualty;

                    (C) such Restoration is permitted pursuant to the terms of the applicable Franchise Agreement;

                    (D) the Borrower that owns the affected Property shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;

                    (E) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits and all payments of principal and interest under the Note will be paid during the period required for Restoration from (1) the Net Proceeds, or (2) other funds of Borrowers;

                    (F) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) the date that is twelve (12) months prior to the Stated Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of the related Operating Lease or the related Franchise Agreement, (3) such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the affected Property to the condition

it was in immediately prior to such Casualty, or (4) six (6) months prior to the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 5.1.1(a)(iii);

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

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

                    (I) such Casualty does not result in any loss of access to the affected Property or the related Improvements which in Lender’s reasonable determination would adversely affect the operation, use or value of such Property or the liquidity of the Loan.

     5.3 Condemnation.

          (a) Each Borrower shall promptly give Lender written notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any Condemnation with respect to all or any portion of the Property owned by such Borrower and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, the Borrower that owns such Property, regardless of whether an Award is available, shall promptly proceed with the Restoration of such Property.

          (b) Any and all awards or payments (each, an “Award”) for any taking accomplished through a Condemnation or any transfer of any Property, or any portion thereof, in lieu of, or in anticipation of, a Condemnation (any of the foregoing, a “Taking”) are hereby assigned by each Borrower to Lender and Lender is hereby authorized to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such Condemnation, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

          (c) In the event of any Condemnation affecting any Property where (i) the Award is in an aggregate amount less than ten percent (10.0%) of the Allocated Loan Amount for such Property, (ii) in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the Restoration can be completed prior to the earlier to occur of (A) the date which is twelve (12) months following such Taking and (B) the date which is twelve (12) months prior to the Stated Maturity Date, (iii) such Restoration is permitted pursuant to the terms of the applicable Franchise Agreement, and (iv) in the reasonable judgment of Lender, after the completion of such Restoration, such Property will have a value at least equal to the value immediately prior to such Taking and the Properties, together, will adequately secure the Outstanding Principal Balance, then, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Net Proceeds shall be applied to reimburse the Borrower that owns the affected Property for the cost of the Restoration, and such Award shall be disbursed in the same manner as provided in Section 5.2(c)(iii) for the application of Insurance Proceeds. Borrowers hereby covenant and agree to commence and diligently to prosecute the Restoration; provided always, that Borrowers shall pay all costs of the Restoration

Pool 1

in excess of the Award made available pursuant to the terms hereof (and if required by Lender, Borrowers shall deposit such excess amount with Lender in advance). Any surplus that may remain out of the Award received by Lender after payment of such costs of the Restoration shall, in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender, be retained by Lender and applied to payment of the Obligations.

          (d) Except as provided in Section 5.3(c) above, the Award collected upon any Condemnation shall, at the option of Lender in its sole discretion, be applied to the payment of the Obligations or applied to reimburse the applicable Borrower for the cost of the Restoration in the same manner as provided in Section 5.2(c)(iii) hereof for the application of Insurance Proceeds. Throughout the term of the Loan if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then Borrowers shall pay to Lender, with respect to any payment of the Obligations pursuant to this paragraph, an additional amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium; provided, however, that if an Event of Default is not continuing, then the Yield Maintenance Premium shall not be payable. Any such application to the Debt shall (i) be applied to those payments of principal and interest last due under this Agreement but shall not postpone or reduce any payments otherwise required hereunder other than such last due payments and (ii) not cause or result in the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount being re-cast based upon the reduction of the Outstanding Principal Balance and the number of months remaining until the Maturity Date. If the applicable Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of such Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall be recoverable or shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive all or a portion of said Award sufficient to pay the Obligations.

          (e) Notwithstanding any Taking by any Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of such a Taking), Borrowers shall continue to pay the Obligations at the time and in the manner provided for in the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Obligations shall not be reduced unless and until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender to expenses of collecting the Award and to discharge of the Obligations.

     5.4 Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds. Payments received on account of the rental loss and/or business income interruption insurance specified in Section 5.1.1(a)(iii) above with respect to any Casualty or Condemnation shall be deposited directly into the Casualty and Condemnation Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in connection with a Casualty any insurance company makes a payment under a property insurance Policy that any Borrower proposes be treated as rental loss or business income interruption insurance, then, notwithstanding any designation (or lack of designation) by the insurance company as to the purpose of such payment, as between Lender and Borrowers, such payment shall not be treated as rental loss or business income interruption Insurance Proceeds unless Borrowers have demonstrated to Lender’s satisfaction that the remaining Net Proceeds that have been received from the property insurance companies are sufficient to pay one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of the Restoration or, if such Net Proceeds are to be applied to repay the Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof, that such remaining Net Proceeds will be sufficient to satisfy the Obligations in full.

Pool 1

     5.5 Additional Conditions for Disbursement of Net Proceeds.

          (a) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration of any Property shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender and an independent architect selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). The plans and specifications shall require that the Restoration be completed in a first-class workmanlike manner at least equivalent to the quality and character of the original work in the Improvements on such Property (provided, however, that in the case of a partial Condemnation, the Restoration shall be done to the extent reasonably practicable after taking into account the consequences of such partial Condemnation), so that upon completion thereof, the affected Property shall be at least equal in value and general utility to the affected Property prior to the Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable; it being understood, however, that Borrowers shall not be obligated to restore the affected Property to the precise condition of the affected Property prior to such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, provided the affected Property is restored, to the extent practicable, to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable. Borrowers shall restore all Improvements such that when they are fully restored and/or repaired, such Improvements and their contemplated use fully comply with all applicable material Legal Requirements and the terms of the related Franchise Agreement. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to the approval of Lender and the Casualty Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with recovering, holding and advancing the Net Proceeds for the Restoration, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees and disbursements, shall be paid by Borrowers.

          (b) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, less the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 5.5(b), be less than the amount actually held back by any Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5 and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the affected Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which (i) the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that such contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of such contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, (ii) the contractor, subcontractor

Pool 1

or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the Title Companies, and (iii) Lender receives an endorsement to the applicable Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the Lien of the Mortgage encumbering the affected Property and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

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

          (d) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration of any Property, Borrowers shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender (for deposit into the Casualty and Condemnation Account) before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be deposited by Lender into the Casualty and Condemnation Account and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 5.5(d) shall constitute additional security for the Obligations.

          (e) The remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5, and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrowers, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under any of the Loan Documents. As applicable, (i) all Net Proceeds not required to be made available for the Restoration, and/or (ii) any excess Net Proceeds remaining after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5, and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Obligations, whether or not then due and payable, in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper.

ARTICLE 6
CASH MANAGEMENT AND RESERVE FUNDS

     6.1 Cash Management Arrangements. Each Borrower shall cause all Rents to be transmitted directly by Operating Lessee and any other Tenants of the Property owned by such Borrower into a trust account (each, a “Clearing Account” and collectively, the “Clearing Accounts”) established and maintained by such Borrower at a national bank selected by

Pool 1

Borrowers and reasonably approved by Lender (the “Clearing Bank”) as more fully described in the Clearing Account Agreement, and each Borrower shall cause all receipts payable with respect to the Property owned by such Borrower in accordance with any merchant’s or other credit card agreements, whether entered into by such Borrower, by Operating Lessee or by any Manager, to be transferred by wire transfer or the automated clearinghouse system directly into such Borrower’s Clearing Account. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, if any Borrower, Operating Lessee or any Manager receives any Gross Revenue from any Property, then (i) such amounts shall be deemed to be collateral for the Obligations and shall be held in trust for the benefit, and as the property, of Lender, (ii) such amounts shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of any Borrower, Operating Lessee or any Manager, and (iii) such Borrower, Operating Lessee or such Manager, as the case may be, shall deposit such amounts in the applicable Clearing Account within three (3) Business Days of receipt. There will be a separate Clearing Account for each Property established by the Borrower owning such Property, all of which will be maintained at the same Clearing Bank. Funds deposited into the Clearing Accounts shall be swept by the Clearing Bank on the last Business Day of each week into operating accounts established and maintained by Operating Lessee with respect to the Properties at the Clearing Bank, unless a Sweep Event has occurred, in which event such funds shall be swept on a daily basis into a single Eligible Account at the Deposit Bank controlled by Lender (the “Deposit Account”) and applied and disbursed in accordance with this Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement. Funds in the Deposit Account shall be invested in Permitted Investments, as more particularly set forth in the Cash Management Agreement. Lender may also establish subaccounts of the Deposit Account which shall at all times be Eligible Accounts and may be ledger or book entry accounts and not actual accounts (such subaccounts are referred to herein as “Accounts”). The Clearing Accounts, the Deposit Account and all other Accounts will be under the sole control and dominion of Lender, and none of any Borrower, Operating Lessee or any Manager shall have any right of withdrawal therefrom. Borrowers shall pay for all expenses of opening and maintaining all of the above accounts.

Borrowers shall promptly and diligently perform the repairs and other work at the Properties recommended or required in the Physical Conditions Reports (such repairs and other work hereinafter collectively referred to as “Required Repairs”) and shall expend such funds as may be necessary to perform the Required Repairs, provided that on the Closing Date, no funds shall be escrowed or deposited with Lender for this purpose.

          6.2.2 Lender Not Liable. Nothing in this Section 6.2 shall (a) make Lender responsible for performing or completing any Required Repairs; (b) require Lender to expend funds to complete any Required Repairs; (c) obligate Lender to proceed with any Required Repairs; or (d) obligate Lender to demand from any Borrower sums to complete any Required Repairs.

          6.2.3 Inspections.

Pool 1

Required Repairs and all materials being used in connection therewith and to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Required Repairs. Each Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other Persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 6.2.3.

          6.2.4 Insurance. In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrowers shall provide or cause to be provided workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk insurance, public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with the Required Repairs. All such policies shall be in form and amount satisfactory to Lender.

     6.3 Tax Funds.

          6.3.1 Deposits of Tax Funds. Borrowers shall deposit with Lender (i) the amount of Four Hundred Thirty-Eight Thousand Two Hundred Sixty-Five and 97/100 Dollars ($438,265.97) on the Closing Date, and (ii) on each Monthly Payment Date, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Taxes for all of the Properties that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months, in order to accumulate sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least ten (10) days prior to their respective due dates, which amounts shall be transferred into an Account established at the Deposit Bank to hold such funds (the “Tax Account”). Amounts deposited from time to time into the Tax Account pursuant to this Section 6.3.1 are referred to herein as the “Tax Funds”. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax Funds will not be sufficient to pay the Taxes with respect to all of the Properties, Lender shall notify Borrowers of such determination and the monthly deposits for Taxes shall be increased by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least ten (10) days prior to the respective due dates for the Taxes; provided that if Borrowers receive notice of any deficiency after the date that is ten (10) days prior to the date that Taxes are due with respect to any Property, Borrowers will deposit with Lender such amount within one (1) Business Day after its receipt of such notice.

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

Pool 1

one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof, in order to accumulate sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies, which amounts shall be transferred into an Account established at the Deposit Bank to hold such funds (the “Insurance Account”). Amounts deposited from time to time into the Insurance Account pursuant to this Section 6.4.1 are referred to herein as the “Insurance Funds”. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Insurance Funds will not be sufficient to pay the Insurance Premiums, Lender shall notify Borrowers of such determination and the monthly deposits for Insurance Premiums shall be increased by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies.

          6.4.2 Release of Insurance Funds. Provided no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, Lender shall direct Servicer to apply the Insurance Funds in the Insurance Account to payment of Insurance Premiums. In making any payment relating to Insurance Premiums, Lender may do so according to any ▇▇▇▇, statement or estimate procured from the insurer or its agent, without inquiry into the accuracy of such ▇▇▇▇, statement or estimate. If the amount of the Insurance Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Insurance Premiums, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrowers or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Insurance Funds. Any Insurance Funds remaining in the Insurance Account after the Obligations have been paid in full shall be returned to Borrowers.

     6.5 FF&E Reserve Funds.

          6.5.1 Deposits of FF&E Reserve Funds. Borrowers shall deposit with Lender on each Monthly Payment Date an amount equal to four percent (4.0%) of the Gross Revenue generated by the Properties for the second calendar month preceding the month in which such Payment Date occurs, for the repair and replacement of the furniture, fixtures and equipment at, in or used in the operation of the Properties (the “FF&E Work”) and for Capital Expenditures Work that may be incurred following the date hereof, which amounts shall be transferred into an Account established at the Deposit Bank to hold such funds (the “FF&E Reserve Account”). Amounts deposited from time to time into the FF&E Reserve Account pursuant to this Section 6.5.1 are referred to herein as the “FF&E Reserve Funds”.

          6.5.2 Release of FF&E Reserve Funds.

          (a) Lender shall direct Servicer to disburse the FF&E Reserve Funds to the applicable Borrower out of the FF&E Reserve Account upon satisfaction by such Borrower of each of the following conditions with respect to each such disbursement: (i) such disbursement is for an Approved FF&E Expense or an Approved Capital Expenditure; (ii) such Borrower shall submit a request for payment to Lender at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which such Borrower requests such payment be made, which request shall specify the Approved FF&E Expenses and/or the Approved Capital Expenditures to be paid; (iii) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured; (iv) Lender shall have received an Officer’s Certificate from such Borrower (A) stating that the items to be funded by the requested disbursement are Approved FF&E

Lender shall not be required to disburse FF&E Reserve Funds more frequently than once each calendar month, on the same day of such month as any other Reserve Funds are being disbursed in accordance with the terms hereof. The insufficiency of any balance in the FF&E Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrowers from their obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents. Any FF&E Reserve Funds remaining in the FF&E Reserve Account after the Obligations have been paid in full shall be returned to Borrowers.

          (b) Nothing in this Section 6.5.2 shall (i) make Lender responsible for performing or completing any FF&E Work or any Capital Expenditures Work; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the FF&E Reserve Funds to complete any FF&E Work or any Capital Expenditures Work; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with any FF&E Work or any Capital Expenditures Work; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from any Borrower additional sums to complete any FF&E Work or any Capital Expenditures Work.

Pool 1

Capital Expenditures Work. Each Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other Persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 6.5.2(c).

          (d) If a disbursement of FF&E Reserve Funds relates to any FF&E Work or any Capital Expenditures Work having a total cost in excess of the Alteration Threshold for the applicable Property, Lender may require an inspection of the applicable Property at Borrowers’ expense prior to making a disbursement of FF&E Reserve Funds in order to verify completion of the FF&E Work and/or the Capital Expenditures Work for which reimbursement is sought. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and may require a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional architect acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of FF&E Reserve Funds. Borrowers shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional architect.

          (e) In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrowers shall provide or cause to be provided workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk insurance, public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with the FF&E Work or the Capital Expenditures Work, as applicable.

All earnings or interest on each of the Reserve Funds (with the exception of the Tax Funds and Insurance Funds) shall be and become part of the respective Reserve Fund and shall be disbursed as provided in the paragraph(s) of this Agreement applicable to each such Reserve Fund. No earnings or interest on the Tax Funds or the Insurance Funds shall be payable to Borrowers.

          6.6.3 Prohibition Against Further Encumbrance. No Borrower shall, without the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Reserve Funds or permit any Lien or encumbrance to attach thereto or any levy to be made thereon or any UCC-1 financing statements to be filed with respect thereto, except those naming Lender as the secured party.

     6.7 Property Cash Flow Allocation.

          6.7.1 Order of Priority of Funds in Deposit Account.

          (a) From and after the occurrence of a Sweep Event, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, commencing on the first Business Day of each Interest Period, Lender shall allocate amounts deposited in the Deposit Account from time to time as they are received during such Interest Period in the following order and priority, in each case to the extent sufficient funds remain therefor:

               (i) First, to fund the Tax Account until the amount deposited therein pursuant to this clause (i) is equal to the amount required to be deposited in the Tax Account on the related Monthly Payment Date in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 6.3 hereof;

               (ii) Second, to fund the Insurance Account until the amount deposited therein pursuant to this clause (ii) is equal to the amount required to be deposited in the Insurance Account on the related Monthly Payment Date in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 6.4 hereof;

               (iii) Third, to fund the Debt Service Account until the amount deposited therein pursuant to this clause (iii) is equal to the Monthly Interest Payment or the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount due and payable by Borrowers on the related Monthly Payment Date in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement;

               (iv) Fourth, to fund the FF&E Reserve Account until the amount deposited therein pursuant to this clause (iv) is equal to the amount required to be deposited in the FF&E Reserve Account on the related Monthly Payment Date in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 6.5 hereof;

               (v) Fifth, to fund the Debt Service Account until the amount deposited therein pursuant to this clause (v) is equal to any other amounts then due and payable under the Loan Documents; and

               (vi) Lastly, payment to Operating Lessee of any and all amounts remaining in accordance with Section 6.7.1(b) below.

          (b) Provided that no Event of Default is continuing, Lender shall disburse amounts allocated to the Debt Service Account to Lender on the related Monthly Payment Date. Amounts deposited into the Reserve Funds shall be disbursed as provided in the paragraph(s) of this Agreement applicable to each such Reserve Fund. Amounts payable to Operating Lessee under clause (vi) of Section 6.7.1(a) above shall be disbursed to Operating Lessee on the last Business Day of each week into a single operating account established and maintained by Operating Lessee at the Clearing Bank (as designated by Operating Lessee to Lender in writing), which funds Borrowers hereby agree shall be use by Operating Lessee first to pay all Operating Expenses, Capital Expenditures and FF&E Expenses due and payable with respect to the

Pool 1

Properties prior to disbursing or paying any such funds to any partner, member or other owner of Operating Lessee.

          6.7.2 Failure to Make Payments. The failure of Borrower to make all of the payments required under clauses (i) through (v) of Section 6.7.1(a) in full on each Monthly Payment Date shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement; provided, however, that if adequate funds are available in the Deposit Account for such payments, and Borrowers are not otherwise in Default hereunder, the failure by the Deposit Bank to allocate such funds into the appropriate Accounts shall not constitute an Event of Default.

          6.7.3 Application After Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 6, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw the Reserve Funds and any other funds of Borrowers or Operating Lessee then in the possession of Lender, Servicer or the Deposit Bank (including any Gross Revenue) and apply such funds to the items for which the Reserve Funds were established or to the payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion.

          7.3 Replacement of Manager. Lender shall have the right to require Borrowers to cause Operating Lessee to replace the Manager of one or more or all of the Properties with a Person chosen by Borrowers and/or Operating Lessee and approved by Lender upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events so long as the applicable Borrower or Operating Lessee has the contractual right to do so under the related Management Agreement or the applicable Manager has consented or agreed to the terms of this Section 7.3 in the related Assignment of Management Agreement: (a) at any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default, (b) if at any time the Debt Service Coverage Ratio falls below 1.05 to 1.0 (the “Manager Termination Ratio”) for any three (3) consecutive calendar quarters, calculated on a

Pool 1

trailing twelve (12) month basis, as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, (c) if such Manager shall be in default under any material term or covenant set forth in its Management Agreement beyond any applicable notice and cure period, (d) if such Manager shall become insolvent or a debtor in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding and, in the case of an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, such bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding is not dismissed within forty-five (45) days after the filing thereof, or (e) if at any time such Manager has engaged in gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct; provided that if Lender requests that Borrowers cause Operating Lessee to replace the Manager of one or more or all of the Properties as a result of the occurrence of the Manager Termination Ratio under the preceding clause (b), then Borrowers may engage an independent third party consultant, at their sole cost and expense, to review the performance of the Manager or Managers to be replaced and Borrowers shall only be required to so replace said existing Manager or Managers if, within thirty (30) days after Lender’s request, said independent third party consultant also concludes that said existing Manager or Managers should be replaced.

This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that Borrowers may otherwise have.

          (c) In connection with any Exchange Act Filing, each Borrower shall (i) indemnify Lender, the UBS Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, the UBS Group and/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 Disclosure Document a material fact required to be stated in the Disclosure Document in order to make the statements in the Disclosure Document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (ii) reimburse Lender, the UBS Group and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the UBS Group and/or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrowers will be liable in any such case under clauses (i) or (ii) above only to the extent that any such 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 Borrowers 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 Borrowers, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to each of the Properties.

Pool 1

indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 9.2, such indemnified party shall pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that 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.

          (e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 9.2(b) or Section 9.2(c) is for any reason held to be unenforceable as to an indemnified party in respect of any Liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.2(b) or Section 9.2(c), the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) UBS’s and each 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 Borrowers hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.

          (f) The liabilities and obligations of both Borrowers and Lender under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Obligations.

     9.3 Intentionally Deleted.

A/B/C structure) and/or one or more additional components of the Note or Notes, reduce the number of components of the Note or Notes, revise the interest rate for each component, reallocate the principal balances of the Notes and/or the components, increase or decrease the monthly debt service payments for each component or eliminate the component structure and/or the multiple note structure of the Loan (including the elimination of the related allocations of principal and interest payments), provided that the Outstanding Principal Balance of all components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the Outstanding Principal Balance immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification. At Lender’s election, each note comprising the Loan may be subject to one or more Securitizations.

               (xxiv) if there shall be a default under any of the other Loan Documents beyond any applicable cure periods contained in such Loan Documents, whether as to any Borrower, Operating Lessee, any Guarantor or any of the Properties, or if any other such event shall occur or condition shall exist, if the effect of such event or condition is to accelerate the maturity of any portion of the Obligations or to permit Lender to accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Obligations.

          (b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (vii), (viii) or (ix) above) and at any time thereafter, Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other

Pool 1

Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrowers and in and to all or any portion of the Properties, including declaring the Obligations to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrowers and all or any portion of the Properties, including all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in clauses (vii), (viii) or (ix) above, the Obligations of Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and each Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

     10.2 Remedies.

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

          (b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose any Mortgage or to foreclosure one or more but less than all of the Mortgages in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgages then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, including the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrowers default beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose any Mortgage one or more but less than all of the Mortgages to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose any Mortgage one or more but less than all of the Mortgages to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgages as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the

Pool 1

Properties shall remain subject to the Mortgages to secure payment of the sums secured by the Mortgages and not previously recovered.

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

          (d) Any amounts recovered from the Properties or any other collateral for the Loan after the occurrence 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.

     10.3 Lender’s Right to Perform. If Borrowers or Operating Lessee fail to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) Business Days after Borrowers’ receipt of written notice thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause the performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrowers to Lender upon demand and if not paid shall be added to the Obligations (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to any Borrower of any such failure.

     10.4 Remedies Cumulative. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against any 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

Pool 1

power accruing upon the occurrence of 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 any Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by any Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

ARTICLE 11

     11.1 Successors and Assigns. All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf of Borrowers, shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.

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

          (b) Lender may, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, accept or reject any proposed cure of an Event of Default. In no event shall any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents that provides that Lender shall have certain rights and/or remedies only during the continuance of an Event of Default be construed so as to require Lender to accept a cure of any such Event of Default. Unless and until Lender expressly accepts any proposed cure of an Event of Default in writing, such Event of Default shall be deemed to be continuing for purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on any Borrower, shall entitle any Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

          (a) Borrowers shall pay or, if Borrowers fail to pay, reimburse Lender upon receipt of notice from Lender, for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) each Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with such Borrower’s agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements, except to the extent that it is expressly provided herein that Lender shall pay such costs and expenses; (ii) Lender’s ongoing performance of and compliance with all agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, except to the extent that it is expressly provided herein that Lender shall pay such costs and expenses; (iii) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by any Borrower; (iv) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance premiums and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting any Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Property or any other security given for the Loan; and (vi) enforcing any Obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrowers under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Properties or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the active gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Any costs due and payable to Lender may be paid, at Lender’s election in its sole discretion, from any amounts in the Deposit Account.

          (b) Borrowers shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not

Pool 1

Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by any Borrower of its Obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by any Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan, (iii) any information provided by or on behalf of any Borrower, or contained in any documentation approved by any Borrower; (iv) ownership of any Mortgage, any Property or any interest therein, or receipt of any Rents; (v) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about any Property or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (vi) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or about any Property or on adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (vii) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of any Property; (viii) any failure of any Property to comply with any Legal Requirement; (ix) any claim by brokers, finders or similar persons claiming to be entitled to a commission in connection with any Lease or other transaction involving any Property or any part thereof, or any liability asserted against Lender with respect thereto; (x) the claims of any tenant of any portion of any Property or any Person acting through or under any tenant or otherwise arising under or as a consequence of any Lease; (xi) any and all lawful action that may be taken by Lender in connection with the enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement, any Mortgage, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, whether or not suit is filed in connection with same, or in connection with any Borrower, Operating Lessee, any guarantor or indemnitor and/or any partner, member, joint venturer or shareholder thereof becoming a party of a voluntary or involuntary federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding; (xii) any tax on the making and/or recording of any Mortgage, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents; and (xiii) a default under Section 4.1.13 of this Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrowers shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrowers shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.

     11.14 Schedules Incorporated. The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

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

Pool 1

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

          (a) Each Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrowers and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common or joint tenancy relationship between any Borrower and Lender or to grant Lender any interest in the Properties other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.

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

     11.17 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrowers or their Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, UBS or any of their affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender.

     11.18 Cross-Collateralization; Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.

          (a) Each Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrowers upon the security of their collective interests in the Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of all of the Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each individual Property taken separately.

          (b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of such Borrower, such Borrower’s members or partners, as applicable, and others with interests in such Borrower, and of the Property owned by such Borrower, and shall not assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property owned by such Borrower for the collection of the Obligations without any prior or different resort for collection, or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Obligations out of the net proceeds of the Property owned by such Borrower in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

     11.19 Waiver of Offsets/Defenses/Counterclaims. Borrowers hereby waive the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding

Pool 1

brought against it by Lender or its agents or otherwise to offset any obligations to make the payments required by the Loan Documents. No failure by Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments that Borrowers are obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents.

     11.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that no Loan Document shall be subject to the principle of construing its meaning against the party which drafted the same. Each Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, such Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan, without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in any Borrower, and each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Each Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments that may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of such Borrower or its Affiliates.

     11.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Each Borrower hereby represents to Lender that (a) such Borrower has not dealt with any financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the Loan; (b) in the event any Borrower has engaged any financial advisor, broker, underwriter, placement agent, agent or finder, such Borrower agrees to pay any and all amounts, including all commissions and other similar fees, owing to said Person; and (c) each Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all costs and expenses of any kind (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Lender as a result of a breach of any of the foregoing. Each Borrower acknowledges that Lender may pay additional compensation, fees or other payments (“Fees”) to brokers, finders, correspondents or other parties (collectively, “Correspondent”) related to the origination, sale and/or securitization of the Loan, in addition to any other Fees which may be paid by such Borrower directly to Correspondent. Such Fees may include direct, one-time payments, payments based on volume of originated loans, profit-sharing payments, and/or an ongoing financial interest in the Loan. In addition, a Correspondent may act as a sub-servicer for the Loan and receive additional fees relating to that activity. Each Borrower consents to a Correspondent being paid such Fees and acting as sub-servicer for the Loan. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that such Borrower is a sophisticated entity capable of evaluating these and other circumstances relevant to obtaining financing in the form of the Loan. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender is not responsible for any recommendation, services (sub-servicing or otherwise) or advice given to such Borrower by any Correspondent and that no fiduciary or other special relationship exists or shall exist between

Pool 1

them. The provisions of this Section 11.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.

     11.22 Exculpation.

          (a) Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrowers to perform and observe the Obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against any Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest in all or any portion of any of the Properties, the Gross Revenue or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrowers only to the extent of each Borrower’s interest in the Properties, in the Gross Revenue and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, shall not ▇▇▇ for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against any Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (1) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (2) impair the right of Lender to name any Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under any Mortgage; (3) affect the validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (4) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (5) impair the enforcement of any Assignment of Leases; (6) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgages or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against all or any portion of the Properties; or (7) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrowers, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage (including, without limitation, those resulting from the diminution in value of any Property), cost, expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs), liability, claim, obligation, cause of action, suit, demand and judgment, of any nature or description whatsoever, which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred by or awarded against Lender as a result of or arising from the following:

          (i) fraud or material misrepresentation by or on behalf of any Borrower, Operating Lessee or any Guarantor or any of their respective agents or representatives in connection with the Loan, including, without limitation, by reason of any claim under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”) and including, without limitation, any misrepresentation by any Borrower pursuant to any of the Loan Documents or otherwise to induce Lender to make the Loan, or any advance thereof, or to release monies from any account held by Lender (including any reserve or escrow) or to take other action with respect to any of the collateral for the Loan;

Pool 1

          (ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct by or on behalf of any Borrower, Operating Lessee or any Guarantor or any of their respective authorized agents or representatives in connection with the Loan;

          (v) any intentional, physical waste of any Property resulting from the action or inaction of any Borrower, Operating Lessee or any Manager which adversely affects the value of such Property;

          (vi) any Legal Requirement (including RICO) resulting in the forfeiture by any Borrower of its Property, or any portion thereof, because of the conduct or purported conduct of criminal activity by any Borrower, Operating Lessee or any Guarantor or any of their respective agents or representatives in connection therewith;

          (vii) the misappropriation or conversion by or on behalf of any Borrower or Operating Lessee of (A) any Insurance Proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to any Property, (B) any Awards or other amounts received in connection with the Condemnation of all or a portion of any Property, or (C) any Gross Revenues (including Rents, security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits);

          (viii) failure to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges that create Liens on any portion of any Property, to the extent (A) such Liens are not bonded over or discharged in accordance with Section 3.6 of the applicable Mortgage and (B) Gross Revenue is sufficient for the payment of the same;

          (ix) any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected with respect to the Properties which are not delivered to Lender in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents;

          (x) failure to pay Taxes to the extent Gross Revenue is sufficient for the payment of the same;

          (xi) failure to obtain and maintain the fully paid for Policies in accordance with Section 5.1.1 hereof;

Pool 1

          (xiv) any Borrower or Operating Lessee fails to permit on-site inspections of any Property or fails to provide financial information as required by, and in accordance with the terms and provisions of, this Agreement and the Mortgages;

          (xv) the failure of any Borrower to maintain its status as a single purpose entity prior to the Closing Date, as required by, and in accordance with the terms and provisions of, Sections 3.1.24 and 3.1.43 of this Agreement;

          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Obligations or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Obligations owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Obligations shall be fully recourse to Borrowers in the event that: (i) the first full monthly payment of interest under the Note is not paid when due; (ii) any Borrower, SPE Party or Operating Lessee fails to maintain its status as a single purpose entity as required by, and in accordance with the terms and provisions of, this Agreement (except with respect to the terms and provisions of clauses (c), (e), (g), (h), (i), (j), (v), (w) and (x) of Section 3.1.24 of this Agreement); (iii) any Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any subordinate financing or other voluntary Lien encumbering any Property; (iv) Borrowers fail to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any Transfer of any Property or any interest therein or any Transfer of any direct or indirect interest in any Borrower, SPE Party or Operating Lessee, in any such case as required by the Mortgages or this Agreement; (v) any Borrower, SPE Party, the sole member of SPE Party, Operating Lessee or any Guarantor files a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (vi) an Affiliate, officer, director or representative which controls, directly or indirectly, any Borrower, SPE Party, the sole member of SPE Party, Operating Lessee or any Guarantor files, or joins in the filing of, an involuntary petition against any Borrower, SPE Party, the sole member of SPE Party, Operating Lessee or any Guarantor under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any

Pool 1

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