A. AMENDMENTS

1. Miscellaneous Amendments to the Loan Agreement. Effective as of the Effective Date, the Loan Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

(a) Loan Documents. The term “Loan Documents” as used throughout the Loan Agreement shall mean all of the Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and all of the Loan Assignment Documents, all as subsequently amended;

(b) Guarantor. The term “Guarantor” and “Guarantors” as used throughout the Loan Agreement shall be deemed to refer exclusively to New Guarantor and not to Original Guarantor and/or Interim Guarantor except to the extent said references would also be applicable to Original Guarantor and/or Interim Guarantor in accordance with any continuing liabilities of Original Guarantor and/or Interim Guarantor under the Environmental Indemnification and their respective Non-Recourse Carveout Guaranty Agreements and any other continuing guaranty or indemnity obligations of the foregoing under the Loan Documents, as amended;

(c) Borrower. All references to “Borrower” in the Loan Agreement shall be deemed to refer exclusively to Borrower (as defined in this Amendment);

(d) Pledgors. All references to “Pledge Agreement”, “Pledgor” or “Pledgors” in the Loan Agreement are hereby deleted; and

(e) Guaranty Agreements. All references to “Guaranty Agreements” in the Loan Agreement shall refer to the Guaranty (as defined in Article A, Section 8 of this Amendment).

2. Amendment to Interest Rate. Effective as of the Effective Date, Section 1(b) of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“(b) Interest Rate. The unpaid principal balance of the Loan will accrue interest (“Interest”) at an interest rate (the “Interest Rate”) equal to: (i) for the

period commencing on April 29, 2011 and continuing through April 28, 2013, a fixed rate of interest equal to two and one-half percent (2.50%), and (ii) for the period commencing on April 29, 2013 through the date on which the Debt is repaid in full (the “LIBOR Rate Period”), the percent per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate (as hereinafter defined), rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/8 of one percent (1%), plus 225 basis points. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that no default or Event of Default exists hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall have the one-time option at any time during the LIBOR Rate Period, but upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender, to fix the Interest Rate at a rate equal to 275 basis points over a comparable interpolated Swap Rate commencing on the first day of the next full accrual period and continuing for the remaining term of the Loan. Lender shall determine the LIBOR Rate as in effect from time to time, and each such determination of the LIBOR Rate shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. For purposes hereof, “LIBOR Rate” means the Thirty Day London Interbank Offered Rate, LIBOR (the “Index”). LIBOR is a standard financial index used in the US Capital Markets as published and shown by the British Bankers’ Association on its website, which can be found at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇. The Interest Rate is subject to change from time to time based on changes in the Index. The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this Loan, Lender may designate a substitute index that will result in a comparable Interest Rate after notice to Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrower’s request. The Interest Rate change will not occur more often than each month. The Interest Rate change will occur on the first (1st) day of each calendar month, based on the Index rate for that date as published and shown on the above-referenced website, rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/8 of one percent (1%).”

3. Amendment to Interest Payments. Effective as of the Effective Date, Section 1(c)(ii) of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“(ii) Interest Payments.

(1) Effective as of November 1, 2010, on the first day of each calendar month (each, a “Payment Date”), Borrower will make payments in arrears to Lender (each, an “Interest Payment” and collectively, the “Interest Payments”) equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan multiplied by the Interest Rate, with the resulting product then multiplied by a fraction whose numerator is the actual number of days elapsed in the immediately preceding month and whose denominator is three hundred and sixty (360), as determined by Lender on each Payment Date in its sole discretion; provided, however, the amount payable for each Interest Payment shall not exceed (a) for Payment Dates between December 1, 2010 and November 1, 2011, inclusive, any and all Net Cash Flow (as hereafter defined) generated during the previous calendar month,

or (b) for Payment Dates from and after December 1, 2011, five percent (5.0%) per annum.

As used herein, the term “Net Cash Flow” means any and all Operating Revenues (as hereafter defined), less Expenses (as hereafter defined). As used herein, “Operating Revenues” means any and all operating revenues of the Property actually received during the applicable period, as determined by Lender in accordance with Lender’s then current audit policies and procedures.

(2) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, on each Payment Date after April 29, 2011, Borrower will make Interest Payments only in arrears to Lender equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan multiplied by the applicable Interest Rate with the resulting product then multiplied by a fraction whose numerator is the actual number of days elapsed in the immediately preceding month and whose denominator is three hundred and sixty (360), as determined by Lender on each Payment Date in its sole reasonable discretion. The foregoing notwithstanding, if any Payment Date shall fall on a date that is not a Business Day (as hereinafter defined), then the payment scheduled to be due on such Payment Date shall be deemed to be due on the first (1st) Business Day immediately following such Payment Date.”

Borrower or Original Borrower shall have delivered to Lender a signed and marked lender’s title insurance commitment and an executed Loan Title Pro Forma, each of the foregoing with such endorsements as Lender may require, in Lender’s favor in an amount equal to the outstanding balance of the Debt, from a title insurer pre-approved by Lender, insuring the Deed of Trust and dated as of the date of the Transfer. In addition, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender and Lender shall have approved an executed Owner’s Title Pro Forma

18. Limited Release Under the Environmental Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Environmental Indemnification, Interim Guarantor shall not be liable under the Environmental Indemnification for any losses arising out of or in any way relating to any Hazardous Substances or violation of Environmental Laws with respect to the Property that occur on or after the Effective Date, except to the extent such liability arises directly or indirectly out of any acts or omissions of Original Borrower, Interim Pledgor, Interim Guarantor and/or any of their respective principals, officers, directors, shareholders, general partners, members, managers, managing members, affiliates, or any agent, employee or other person authorized or apparently authorized to act on behalf of any of the foregoing prior to the Effective Date; provided, however, that this Section 18 shall in no way affect, modify, waive, release or relinquish the liability of Interim Guarantor under the Environmental Indemnification for any Hazardous Substances or violation of Environmental Laws with respect to the Property occurring prior to the Effective Date (regardless of when discovered).
