This Amendment constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower and of each Guarantor, enforceable against Borrower and each Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law)

The execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment will not violate any Legal Requirements or conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any of Borrower’s or each Guarantor’s organizational documents or any agreement or instrument to which Borrower and/or each Guarantor is a party or by which it is bound, or any order or decree applicable to Borrower and/or each Guarantor, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien on any of Borrower’s and/or each Guarantor’s assets or property (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents).

There are no judicial, administrative actions, investigations, suits or other proceedings, including, without limitation, any condemnation or eminent domain proceedings, pending or threatened against or affecting Borrower, Guarantor or any Individual Property which, if adversely determined, could have a material adverse effect on the Borrower, Guarantor or the Property, other than unfair labor practice allegations filed by UNITE HERE!

anticipated appeals in connection therewith, (ii) the Property is in good operating condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and Borrower has not received any notice from a Governmental Authority claiming or asserting that any Individual Property does not comply in all material respects with all Legal Requirements, which notice has not been complied with, and (iii) all real estate taxes (and assessments) affecting each Individual Property are current and all insurance required to be maintained in respect of the Individual Properties is in full force and effect.

Each of the representations and warranties made by Borrower and/or each Guarantor herein is true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof as if made on and as of such date and will survive the execution and delivery of and consummation of all transactions under this Amendment.

No Event of Default, has occurred and is continuing, or will result from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Amendment.

9. Costs and Expenses. Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery hereof, Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, all reasonable costs and expenses of Lender (a) incident to the preparation and execution of this Amendment and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees and expenses and (b) all additional unpaid attorney’s fees and expenses relating to Lender’s administration of the Loan. Lender and Borrower each acknowledges and agrees that all such costs and expenses shall be paid from amounts on deposit as of the date hereof in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account.

10. Limited Effect.

Except as expressly modified hereby, all of the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents are and shall be and remain in full force and effect. The amendments contained herein shall not be construed as an amendment, waiver, or modification of any other provision of the Loan Documents, or forbearance of exercise of remedies thereunder, or for any purpose except as expressly set forth herein.

(w) Notwithstanding any provision in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary, the provisions in this Amendment shall apply from and after the date hereof until such time as the Indebtedness is indefeasibly paid in full or the same is further modified pursuant to Section 21 hereof. This Amendment shall be a “Loan Document” for all purposes under the Loan Agreement.

11. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of law principles (other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law).

13. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Amendment on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Amendment by facsimile or electronic mail transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

14. Notices. Any notices under this Amendment shall be given in accordance with the Loan Agreement or with respect to Guarantor, in accordance with the Guaranty. Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that any notices so given shall be effective as against Guarantor for all purposes under the laws of the State of New York.

15. No Partnership, Joint Venture or Agency. This Amendment shall not in any respect be interpreted, deemed or construed as making Lender a partner or joint venturer with Borrower or Guarantor or any one or more of them, nor shall it be interpreted, deemed or construed as making Lender the agent or representative of Borrower and/or Guarantor. Each of Borrower and Guarantor agrees not to make any contrary assertion, contention, claim or counterclaim in any action, suit, or other legal proceeding involving Lender. In no event shall Lender be liable for debts or claims accruing or arising against Borrower. The relationship of Lender to Borrower is that, respectively, of “lender” and “borrower.”

16. No Fiduciary Relationship. Neither the terms, covenants and conditions of this Amendment, nor the entering into of this Amendment, shall, in and of itself, create any fiduciary or special relationship between Lender, on the one hand, and Borrower and/or Guarantor, on the other hand.

17. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to the obligations of the parties hereto.

18. Independent Counsel. Each party hereto has been represented by independent legal counsel of its choice in connection with this Amendment, has reviewed this Amendment with such counsel, understands the agreements contained herein and has agreed to execute and deliver this Amendment as its own free act and deed without duress, and that this Amendment shall not be subject to the principle of construing its meaning against the party which drafted same.

19. Construction of Agreement. No representations or warranties have been made by or on behalf of Lender, Borrower and/or Guarantor, or relied upon by Borrower, Guarantor or Lender, pertaining to the subject matter of this Amendment, other than those in this Amendment. All prior statements, representations and warranties, if any, are superseded and merged into this Amendment, which represents the final and sole agreement of the parties with respect to the matters described in this Amendment. All of the terms of this Amendment were negotiated at arm’s length, and were prepared and executed without fraud, duress, undue influence or coercion of any kind exerted by any of the parties upon the others. The execution and delivery of this Amendment is the free and voluntary act of each of Borrower, Guarantor and Lender.

22. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Amendment shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Amendment shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Amendment.
