SECTION 3. Covenants. Assignor covenants and agrees that (i) it shall comply with all terms of the Interest Rate Cap, (ii) it shall not waive any material provision of, or make any material change to, the Interest Rate Cap and it shall not consent or agree to any act or omission to act on the part of Counterparty which would

This Assignment shall not operate to place upon Agent any responsibility for the operation, control, care, management or repair of the Mortgaged Property or for the payment, performance or observance of any Obligations or any requirement or condition under the Interest Rate Cap.

SECTION 5. Notice and Instruction to Counterparty. The Counterparty has executed this Assignment for the purpose of evidencing its consent hereto.

Assignor agrees that payments made by Counterparty pursuant to these directions shall, to the extent of such payment, satisfy Counterparty’s obligations to Assignor in respect of the Confirmation and that Counterparty may rely upon Agent’s written notice without any inquiry into the factual basis for such notice or any prior notice to or consent from Assignor.

In connection with the foregoing, Agent shall be entitled to take possession of and use all books of account and financial records of Assignor relating to the Collateral. The assumption by Agent of the Interest Rate Cap pursuant to this Section 6 shall be evidenced by a written notice from Agent to the Counterparty upon which the Counterparty shall be entitled to rely. Under no circumstances shall Agent or any Lender be deemed by any party to have assumed Assignor’s rights and obligations under the Interest Rate Cap unless and until such written notice is delivered to the Counterparty in accordance with the foregoing provision. Assignor hereby agrees to pay all sums expended by Agent under the authority hereof. Such amounts shall constitute Reimbursable Costs.

SECTION 7. Indemnification. Assignor agrees to indemnify and hold Agent and/or Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses which Agent and/or Lenders incur by reason of this Assignment, or by reason of any action permitted to be taken by Agent hereunder, and against and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Agent and/or Lenders by reason of any alleged obligation or undertaking on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Interest Rate Cap except to the extent that such Loss resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent.

SECTION 20. Exculpation. This Assignment shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 11.16 of the Loan Agreements.

SECTION 21. Further Assurances. Assignor agrees that at any time and from time to time Assignor will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or that Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereunder or to enable Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder.

SECTION 27. No Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of Agent to exercise any power, right or privilege under this Assignment shall impair any such power, right or privilege, or be construed to be a waiver of any default or an acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such power, right or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. To the extent permitted by law, Assignor hereby waives any requirement that Agent commence any foreclosure proceeding with respect to the Mortgaged Property or to any of the other collateral securing payment of the Loan prior to enforcement of any remedies pursuant to this Assignment.

Separate and successive actions by Agent may be brought hereunder to enforce any of the provisions hereof at any time and from time to time.

This Agreement may not be changed, amended, modified or waived orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto, provided that such instrument need by signed only by Bank and Agent if it does not change any rights or obligations of Pledgors hereunder. This Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and performed solely within such State, except with regard to payment of checks and other items and other issues relating to the operations of the Security Deposit Accounts or any other account to which funds from the Security Deposit Accounts are transferred, which issues shall be interpreted and enforced according to the laws of the state where the Security Deposit Accounts or such other account are located.

Each of the Pledgors further agrees to provide duly executed and completed updates of such forms (or applicable successor forms) promptly (but in any event no later than 10 Business Days) upon Bank’s request therefor, if Bank notifies such Pledgor that existing forms have expired or become obsolete.

Each Pledgor shall be responsible for the payment of all taxes relating to the assets in its Security Deposit Account (other than taxes with respect to investment earnings retained by Bank in accordance with this Agreement).

15. Termination. Pledgors may not terminate this Agreement for any reason without Agent’s prior written consent; provided, however, that Pledgors may terminate this Agreement for the purpose of using a different depository bank if (i) Agent approves such replacement depository bank, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and (ii) such replacement depository bank shall enter into an agreement with Pledgors and Agent substantially similar to this Agreement.

20. Invalid Provisions to Affect No Others. If fulfillment of any provision hereof or any transaction related hereto at the time performance of such provisions shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity presently prescribed by law, with regard to obligations of like character and amount, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity; and if any clause or provision herein contained operates or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Agreement in whole or in part, then such clause or provision only shall be held for naught, as though

not herein contained, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect.

21. UCC Matters. Pledgors acknowledge and Bank represents that each of the Security Deposit Accounts is a “deposit account” as defined in Section 9-102(29) of the UCC. In connection therewith:

22. Interpretation. Whenever the singular or plural number, or the masculine, feminine or neuter gender is used herein, it shall equally include the other. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.

23. Computation of Time Periods. In this Agreement, with respect to the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means both “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” both mean “to but excluding.”

The applicable Pledgor shall provide evidence to Agent, on Agent’s request, of the proper application of such funds. Upon the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the rights conferred upon the Pledgors pursuant to this Section shall immediately and automatically terminate without further action being required of Agent, Bank or any Pledgor; provided, however, that if a Notice of Exclusive Control is in effect (and no Event of Default exists), at the request of Borrower, Agent will apply amounts on deposit in the Collection Accounts to cure any Noticed Default or Defaults (to the extent the same can be cured with the payment of money) and to allow Borrower to comply with its obligations under the Loan Documents.

Bank represents and warrants to Agent that no other notices of control, assignment, grant of security interest or Lien of any kind in respect of the Collateral are reflected in Bank’s records concerning the Collateral. Bank hereby agrees that any such notice of control, assignment, grant of security interest, or Lien of any kind in respect of the Collateral that it receives, including the notice conferred by this Agreement, will be recorded in Bank’s records concerning the Collateral and Bank will immediately notify Agent upon receipt thereof. Bank agrees not to allow any person or entity other than Agent and Bank (to the extent permitted in Section 12 below) to withdraw amounts from the Collection Accounts (it being acknowledged, however, that Pledgors have the rights to utilize funds in the Collateral Accounts to the extent provided in Sections 3 and 5 hereof).

8. Actions With Respect to the Collateral Following an Event of Default.

9. Information. (a) Bank shall provide to the applicable Pledgor and Agent a periodic statement setting forth all deposits, withdrawals, and account service charges, if any, with respect to each Collection Account. Such periodic statements will be issued on a monthly or quarterly basis, depending on activity, but not more frequently than once per month. Any Pledgor or Agent may request more frequent statements in which case Bank may assess such Pledgor for the applicable account service charge.

10. Certain Matters Affecting the Bank. Pledgors and Agent agree that:

11. Irrevocable Agreement. Pledgors acknowledge that the agreements made by it and the conveyances and authorizations made and granted by it herein are irrevocable and that the conveyances and authorizations made and granted herein constitute powers coupled with an interest.

12. Waiver of Set-off Rights by Bank. Bank hereby waives, with respect to all existing and future claims it may have against Pledgors, all rights of set-off and banker’s liens which it may now or hereafter have against the Collateral and all items (and proceeds thereof) that come into the possession of Bank in connection with the Collateral, except, without further consent from Pledgors or Agent, to the extent Bank is unable to obtain payment from Pledgors and to the extent permitted by applicable law, rights of set-off and banker’s liens arising in connection with (i) items deposited in the Collection Accounts that are subsequently returned to Bank unpaid for insufficient funds or if such amount is otherwise uncollectible by Bank, including without limitation by any “stop payment order” having been applied to such item, (ii) any fees due to Bank or charges incurred by Bank in connection with its deposit or collection attempts (provided such amounts are not in excess of the fees or charges Bank regularly and customarily charges its customers with respect thereto), (iii) the amount represented by such uncollectible item if such item has actually been paid by Bank to Pledgors prior to Bank’s collection thereof, (iv) unpaid fees and expenses with respect to the Collateral that are charged to any of the Pledgors by Bank in the normal course of business for the Collateral and (v) any funds or items deposited in the Collection Accounts in error or as necessary to correct processing errors (and Bank shall have the right to withdraw from the Collection Accounts funds or other items deposited in error without further consent from Pledgors or Agent).

13. Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall supersede any other agreement (to the extent conflicting herewith) relating to the matters referred to herein,

14. Taxes. Each Pledgor shall deliver promptly to Bank a duly completed and executed copy of the proper United States Internal Revenue Service (a) Form W-9 or (b) if a Pledgor is not a United States citizen, Form 1001, Form 4224, Form W-8 or Form 8709 (as applicable), certifying such Pledgor’s status as a beneficial owner of its Collection Account (within the meaning of Section 1.1441-1(c)(6) of the Treasury Regulations of the United States Internal Revenue Tax Code). Each of the Pledgors further agrees to provide duly executed and completed updates of such forms (or applicable successor forms) promptly (but in any event no later than 10 Business Days) upon Bank’s request therefor, if Bank notifies such Pledgor that existing forms have expired or become obsolete. Each Pledgor shall, on its own initiative, shall promptly provide (but in any event no later than 10 Business Days) duly executed and completed updates of such forms upon the occurrence of any event in respect of such Pledgor requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by such Pledgor to Bank. Each Pledgor shall be responsible for the payment of all taxes relating to the assets in its Collection Account (other than taxes with respect to investment earnings retained by Bank in accordance with this Agreement).

15. Termination. Pledgors may not terminate this Agreement for any reason without Agent’s prior written consent; provided, however, that Pledgors may terminate this Agreement for the purpose of using a different depository bank if (i) Agent approves such replacement depository bank, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and (ii) such replacement depository bank shall enter into an agreement with Pledgors and Agent substantially similar to this Agreement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until such time as (a) Agent shall deliver written notice to Bank as to the full and final payment of all Indebtedness under the Loan Documents and the termination of the Loan Documents, (b) Agent shall deliver written notice of termination to Pledgors and Bank at any time for any reason, (c) Bank shall

deliver written notice of termination to Pledgors and Agent not less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective termination date or (d) Borrower shall have replaced Bank with a replacement depository bank in accordance with the immediately foregoing sentence. If Bank so terminates this Agreement or if Agent so terminates this Agreement but requires that Collection Accounts with a different depository be established, Agent and Pledgors shall jointly select a new depository to replace Bank, and thereupon Agent and the Pledgors shall enter into a new arrangement with such depository substantially similar to this Agreement. Bank hereby agrees that it shall promptly take all reasonable action necessary to facilitate the transfer of any funds held in the Collection Accounts and items received to any replacement depository. All rights of Bank under Sections 10 and 12 hereof for the period prior to any such termination shall survive such termination.

16. Further Assurances. Each Pledgor hereby covenants and agrees that it shall (i) perform such acts and execute, acknowledge and deliver, from time to time, such financing statements and other instruments as may be reasonably required by Agent to perfect or better assure this Agreement and the security interests created hereby, and file or record the same in the public records specified by Agent and (ii) upon request of Agent, execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable in Agent’s reasonable opinion to protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby, to enable Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to the Collection Accounts and the proceeds thereof or to effectuate the purpose and intent of this Agreement, provided that the same do not increase such Pledgor’s liabilities, or decrease such Pledgor’s rights, under the Loan Documents (other than, in each case, to a de minimis extent).

17. Notices. (i) Any request, notice, report, demand, approval or other communication permitted or required by this Agreement to be given or furnished shall be in writing and shall be deemed given or furnished when addressed to the party intended to receive the same, at the address of such party as set forth below, (i) when delivered by overnight nationwide commercial courier service, one (1) Business Day (determined with reference to the location of the recipient) after the date of delivery to such courier service, (ii) when personally delivered, if delivered on a Business Day in the place of receipt and during normal business hours (otherwise on the next occurring Business Day in such place of receipt) or (iii) when transmitted by telecopy to the telecopier number set forth below, to the party intended to receive same if transmitted on a Business Day in the place of receipt and during normal business hours (and otherwise on the next occurring Business Day in such place of receipt) and provided that such transmission is confirmed by duplicate notice in such other manner as permitted above:

18. Fees. Bank agrees not to charge any fees in connection with the Collection Accounts or its services hereunder.

19. Headings. The headings of the Articles, Sections and subsections of this Agreement are for the convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof. All references in this Agreement to Sections, subsections and other divisions are references to the Sections, subsections and divisions of this Agreement unless otherwise stated.

20. Invalid Provisions to Affect No Others. If fulfillment of any provision hereof or any transaction related hereto at the time performance of such provisions shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity presently prescribed by law, with regard to obligations of like character and amount, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity; and if any clause or provision herein contained operates or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Agreement in whole or in part, then such clause or provision only shall be held for naught, as though not herein contained, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect.

21. UCC Matters. Pledgors acknowledge and Bank represents that each of the Collection Accounts is a “deposit account” as defined in Section 9-102(29) of the UCC. In connection therewith:

22. Interpretation. Whenever the singular or plural number, or the masculine, feminine or neuter gender is used herein, it shall equally include the other. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.

23. Computation of Time Periods. In this Agreement, with respect to the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means both “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” both mean “to but excluding.”

24. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the Loans and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof, except as specifically agreed to the contrary.

(c) The following amounts (“Retainage”) shall be retained from the proceeds of any Advance relating to any Hard Cost Contract: (i) until such time as, in the reasonable judgment of Agent, the work performed by the contractor or the

direct or indirect subcontractor supplying goods, services, materials or labor for the Project under such Hard Cost Contract is fifty percent (50%) complete, the greater of (a) ten percent (10%) of the contract value of the work performed by such contractor or direct or indirect subcontractor through the last day covered by the applicable Advance and (b) the amount actually retained by Borrower (or any contractor or direct or indirect subcontractor, as applicable) from payments made or to be made to the applicable contractor or subcontractor and (ii) thereafter, zero.

Advances for the “Development Costs” line item in the NYTC Units Budget shall only be made when, and to the extent that, Developer is entitled to receive payments pursuant to, and in accordance with, Exhibit K of the Development Agreement-NYTC.

(e) All sums advanced by Lenders pursuant to any provision of any Building Loan Document, except so-called “protective advances” pursuant to any remedial provision of any Building Loan Document, insurance or condemnation proceeds, funds in the Completion Deposit or other funds (other than funds from Lenders) on deposit or escrowed with Agent pursuant to the provisions hereof, shall be deemed Advances of the Building Loan.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, no Advance shall be made hereunder or under the Project Loan Agreement for costs shown in the FC Units Budget or for costs shown in the NYTC Units Budget (i) if such Advance would cause the aggregate amounts of all Advances hereunder and under the Project Loan Agreement with respect to such Budget to exceed the applicable Maximum Amount or (ii) if such Advance would cause the aggregate amount of all Advances hereunder to exceed the Building Loan Amount or the

aggregate amount of Advances under the Project Loan Agreement to exceed the Project Loan Amount.

(b) The making of an Advance by Lenders shall not constitute any Lender’s or Agent’s approval or acceptance of the construction theretofore completed or a waiver of any of the conditions to Lenders’ obligation to make future Advances, nor in the event that Borrower is unable to satisfy any such condition, shall any such failure to require that such condition be satisfied have the effect of precluding Agent from thereafter requiring that such condition be satisfied and refusing to make an Advance. Agent’s or Construction Consultant’s inspection and approval of the Plans and Specifications, the construction of the Project, or the workmanship and materials used therein, shall impose no liability of any kind on Lenders, Agent or Construction Consultant, the sole obligation of Lenders as the result of such inspection and approval being to make the Advances if, and to the extent, required by this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.08(a), if there is an “overbudgeted” line item in the NYTC Units Budget pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C) of the first sentence of Section 7.11(d) prior to the contribution of all of the Initial Required Equity Funds, the Initial Required Equity Funds and the Maximum Amount-NYTC shall each be reduced by the amount of such cost savings.

(b) The Outstanding Principal, and any interest (but not any interest not paid when due because Agent and/or Lenders do not comply with Section 5.03(b) hereof), fee or other amount payable hereunder or under any other Building Loan Document that is not paid when due (after giving effect to any applicable grace period expressly referred to herein or therein), shall bear interest from the due date thereof (without giving effect to any such grace period) until paid at the Default Rate. During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Outstanding Principal and any interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder or under any other Building Loan Document shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

(b) Prepayments made in accordance with the Building Loan Mortgage or Sections 7.05, 7.46 and 7.51 hereof shall, at Borrower’s (or the applicable Member’s) option, (i) be immediately used to prepay the Loans or (ii) pursuant to an agreement between Borrower (or the applicable Member) and Agent reasonably satisfactory to Agent, be held by Agent in an interest bearing account as additional collateral for the Building Loan and the Project Loan until a date selected by Borrower (or the applicable Member) that is not later than the first Business Day of the next succeeding calendar month (and Borrower (or the applicable Member) shall also deposit with Agent interest on the Loans that will accrue through such date), on which date such amounts (plus any interest earned thereon) shall be applied to prepay the Loans. The proviso clause of the first sentence of Section 3.12(a) above shall apply to all prepayments pursuant to the preceding sentence.

(c) Borrower shall have no right to receive Advances of amounts repaid under this Agreement.

(b) If Agent reasonably determines that compliance with any new law or regulation or any new guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Person controlling any Lender and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of the Building Loan Notes, and provided that such change or new guideline or request generally affects similarly situated banks, financial institutions or any other applicable type of entity, then Borrower shall pay to Agent or any such Lender, from time to time as specified by Agent or any such Lender, additional actual amounts sufficient to compensate each Lender or such Person in the light of such circumstances. A certificate as to such amounts, explaining the reason for and showing the calculation of such amounts, all in reasonable detail, submitted to Borrower by Agent or any Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Agent shall endeavor to give Borrower notice of any event giving rise to a payment under this Section reasonably promptly upon it being made aware of such event.

(d) If a Lender incurs increased costs pursuant to Section 3.13(a) hereof, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its interest in the Loan or to assign its interest in the Loan to another of its offices, branches or affiliates if, in such Lender’s judgment, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce such increased costs or any future increased costs and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any respect.

(e) The provisions of this Section 3.13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all amounts payable under the Building Loan Notes or the other Building Loan Documents.

(b) If the circumstance described in subparagraph (a) is eliminated, the Interest Rate shall automatically convert back to the LIBOR Rate.

(b) All computations of interest shall be made by Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. Each determination by Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day.

(b) Borrower will indemnify Lenders for the full amount of Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts paid or payable under this Section 3.16 paid by Lenders and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto). Payments pursuant to this Section 3.16 shall be made within ten (10) days after the date Agent makes written demand therefor.

(c) For purposes of this Section 3.16, the term “Lender” shall include any Person who, for purposes of the relevant laws imposing any Taxes, is treated as a successor or assign in interest of all or any portion of an interest in any Building Loan Document, whether such Person is an assignee or a Participant and whether or not such Person is a registered assignee and shall also include Agent and GMACCM in their respective capacities hereunder; provided, however, that if such Person is a Participant, such Person shall only be entitled to receive payments under this Section 3.16, and Borrower shall only be obligated to make payments under this Section 3.16 with respect to such Participant, to the extent that the Taxes assessed against, or paid by, such Participant do not exceed the Taxes that would have been assessed against, or paid by, the Lender from whom such Participant acquired (whether directly or indirectly) such interest.

(d) The agreements and obligations contained in this Section 3.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all amounts payable under the Building Loan Notes or the other Building Loan Documents.

(e) (i) Each Non-US Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Agent, on or prior to the date of the applicable Assignment and Acceptance Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender, (A) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W8-ECI or Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Code to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payment to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Building Loan Documents or (B) if such Lender is not a “bank” or other Person described in

Section 881(c)(3) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W8-ECI or Form W-8BEN pursuant to clause (A) above, a Certificate of Non-Bank Status, together with two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (or any successor form), all properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Code to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payment to such Lender of interest payable under any of the Building Loan Documents.

(b) If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary or involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the amounts owing to it in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of amounts obtained by all Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the amounts owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and each such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 3.17(b) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(b) Force Majeure Extension. Borrower shall have one or more options to extend the term of the Loans (but not the term of only the Building Loan or only the Project Loan) if a Force Majeure Event shall have occurred and if the following terms and conditions are satisfied: (i) not more than five (5) Business Days after Borrower becomes aware of the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, Borrower

shall have given Agent notice of the occurrence of such Force Majeure Event and a notice of its election to extend the term of the Loans pursuant to this Section 3.19(b) and Section 3.19(b) of the Project Loan Agreement (the date on which such notice shall be given being hereinafter referred to as the “Force Majeure Extension Option Exercise Date”); (ii) in the reasonable judgment of Agent, such Force Majeure Event will delay Final Completion of the Project beyond the Maturity Date; (iii) in the reasonable judgment of Agent, Borrower shall have taken all steps commercially reasonable to mitigate the effects of such Force Majeure Event; (iv) on the Force Majeure Extension Option Date, no Noticed Default or Event of Default shall exist under any Loan Document; (v) Borrower shall have provided to Agent evidence of the continuation of the Policies and the payment of any premiums then due therefor; (vi) appropriate extensions, to the extent required to keep such document in full force and effect and free from any default, shall have been granted under the Public Project Agreements and for a period of time at least equal to the Force Majeure Extension Period; (vii) Borrower shall have provided to Agent evidence of the continuation of the Initial Advance Interest Rate Cap through the extended Maturity Date on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to Agent, to the extent Borrower was required to purchase the Initial Advance Interest Rate Cap in accordance with the terms hereof, or, if no Initial Advance Interest Rate Cap was so required, Borrower and Agent shall have entered into a written agreement reasonably satisfactory to Agent with respect to interest rate protection during the Force Majeure Extension Period (provided that if, in Agent’s discretion, the cost of any interest rate protection required by this clause (vii) is prohibitive, Borrower may deposit with or deliver to Agent other security in lieu thereof satisfactory to Agent); and (viii) each Guarantor shall acknowledge and confirm to Agent, on or prior to the Maturity Date, the exercise of the extension period by Borrower. The period of the extension option under this Section 3.19(b) shall be determined by Agent in its reasonable judgment and shall be equal to the number of days by which Substantial Completion has been or is reasonably expected to be delayed due to such Force Majeure Event, assuming that Borrower and the General Contractor take all steps commercially reasonable to mitigate the effects of such Force Majeure Event; provided, however, that (x) in no event shall all extensions pursuant to this Section 3.19(b) be more than 180 days in the aggregate (the period of such extensions being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Force Majeure Extension Period”) and (y) any such extension shall in all events end if, and as of the date that, Borrower is not in compliance with the immediately succeeding sentence. If a Force Majeure Event shall have occurred, Borrower shall (1) periodically (at least once every two weeks) advise Agent of the status of such Force Majeure Event and its effect on completion of the Project and (2) take all steps, and cause the General Contractor to take all steps, commercially reasonable to mitigate the effects of such Force Majeure Event. If the Maturity Date is extended in accordance with this Section 3.19(b), all references to the Original Maturity Date, the First Extended Maturity Date, or the Second Extended Maturity Date shall be interpreted so that such references are to such date, as extended by the applicable Force Majeure Extension Period.

(c) Borrower shall pay at the time of and as a condition to the extension of the term of the Building Loan described in Sections 3.19(a) and (b) above, (i) all reasonable, third-party out-of-pocket fees and expenses of Agent in preparing, executing, delivering, or recording any documents or instruments related to such

extension, and (ii) all reasonable, third-party out-of-pocket fees and expenses of Agent in connection with any title company searches and insurance which Agent may reasonably then require.

(d) Without Agent’s prior reasonable consent, Borrower shall not consent to an extension for an “Excusable Delay” under Section 11.7 of the Guaranteed Maximum Price Contract unless (i) such “Excusable Delay” is a Force Majeure Event and (ii) the conditions set forth in clauses (i)-(viii) of Section 3.19(b) hereof have been satisfied.

(a) Payment of Fees. Borrower shall have paid all fees described in the Commitment Letter as being payable on or before the closing of the Building Loan and all other fees and expenses required by this Agreement, the Side Letter re: Fees or any other Building Loan Document to be paid on the Closing Date including, without limitation, the Administration Fee allocable to the period of time from the Closing Date through the end of the calendar month on which the Closing Date occurs.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no reallocation with respect to the Development Cost Line Item shall be permitted; provided, however, that upon achievement of Substantial Completion of the Project, Borrower shall be permitted to use all or any portion of the Development Cost Line Item for the purchase of any Interest Rate Caps then required to be provided hereunder and, to the extent the Development Cost Line Item exceeds the costs of such Interest Rate Caps as determined by Agent, to any other line item in the Budgets, subject, however, to clause (iii) of this Section 7.11(d).

(e) Agent and Borrower acknowledge and confirm that notwithstanding any other provision hereof, (i) the implementation of Section 7.11(d) may result in an increase in Loan proceeds used to pay Building Loan Costs and a corresponding decrease in Loan proceeds used to pay Project Loan Costs, but under no circumstances can result in a decrease in Loan proceeds used to pay Building Loan Costs or an increase in Loan proceeds used to pay Project Loan Costs and (ii) the implementation of the procedures set forth in Section 7.11(d) of the Project Loan

proceedings shall be prosecuted with diligence by Borrower (or such Member) and shall operate to prevent any taking or closing or shutting down of the Premises or any portion thereof by any Governmental Authority, and shall have the effect of staying any type of sale or forfeiture of the Premises, (2) Borrower (or such Member) shall have deposited with or delivered to Agent, as applicable, cash collateral, a bond or such other security reasonably satisfactory to Agent on such terms as may be reasonably satisfactory to Agent and (if applicable) in an amount as may be deemed reasonably necessary by Agent to pay for such contest and to pay for the cost of compliance (if not yet paid) with such Legal Requirements, and any fines, penalties, charges and interest thereon which may be awarded or assessed (which amount may be increased at the request of Agent when Agent determines (in its reasonable judgment) that a greater amount may be required to make such payments), (3) such proceeding shall not subject Agent, any Lender or any Borrower Entity to the risk of any criminal liability, (4) no Noticed Default or Event of Default shall then exist under any Building Loan Document, (5) Borrower (or such Member) gives Agent (x) reasonably continuous notice upon the commencement and during the continuation of any such proceeding of the status thereof, and (y) confirmation on such periodic basis as Agent may request of the continuing satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (1) through (4) above, and (6) Borrower (or such Member) shall have furnished to Agent all other items reasonably requested by Agent. If Borrower (or such Member) shall fail at any time to comply with the above conditions to contest or if the Premises or any part thereof is, in the judgment of Agent, in any imminent danger of being forfeited or lost, Agent may require Borrower (or such Member) to, and Borrower (or such Member) will thereupon, comply with the Legal Requirement which is the subject of the contest. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may, at its option, credit all or any part of any such cash, bond or other security then held by it to the Indebtedness in such order as Agent may elect. Upon final determination of such contest, Borrower (or such Member) will take all steps necessary to comply with any requirements arising therefrom and, after final payment of all costs of such contest and any costs of compliance, Agent shall return to Borrower (or such Member) any remaining security held by Agent pursuant to the foregoing clause (2).

(c) Without limiting any other provision of this Section 7.17, each Borrower Entity shall comply with all legal requirements relating to money laundering, anti-terrorism, trade embargos and economic sanctions, now or hereafter in effect. Without limiting anything in the foregoing sentence, no Borrower Entity shall take any action, or permit any action to be taken, that would cause the representations and warranties in Section 6.05(b) of this Agreement to become untrue or inaccurate at any time during the term of the Loans. Each Borrower Entity shall notify Agent promptly after obtaining knowledge that the representations and warranties in Section 6.05(b) of this Agreement may no longer be accurate or that any other violation of the foregoing legal requirements has occurred or is being investigated by any Governmental Authority. In connection with such an event, each Borrower Entity shall comply with all legal requirements and directives of Governmental Authorities and, at Agent’s request, provide to Agent copies of all notices, reports and other communications exchanged with, or received from, Governmental Authorities relating to such event. Borrower shall also reimburse Agent and Lenders for all actual reasonable expenses incurred by Agent in evaluating the effect of such an event on the Loans and the collateral for the Loans, in

obtaining any necessary license from Governmental Authorities as may be necessary for Agent to enforce its rights under the Loan Documents, and in complying with all legal requirements applicable to Agent or any Lender as the result of the existence of such an event and for any penalties or fines imposed upon Agent or any Lender as a result thereof.

Upon the written request of Agent, if an Event of Default exists, Borrower will (or will cause the applicable Member to) exercise all rights of arbitration conferred upon it by the Ground Lease or such Severance Sublease. Borrower or such Member shall select an arbitrator who is reasonably approved in writing by Agent, provided, however, that if at the time

(g) If any action, proceeding, motion or notice shall be commenced or filed in respect of the Ground Lessor or any other fee owner of the Mortgaged Property in connection with any case under the Bankruptcy Code or under any other Bankruptcy Law, Borrower (or the applicable Member) shall, after obtaining knowledge thereof, promptly notify Agent. Borrower (or the applicable Member) shall promptly deliver to Agent, following receipt, copies of any and all notices, summonses, pleadings, applications and other documents received by Borrower (or the applicable Member) in connection with any such action, proceeding, motion or notice and any proceedings relating thereto. Borrower shall not commence any action, suit, proceeding or case, or file any application or make any motion (unless such motion is for the purpose of protecting the Ground Lease or the Severance Subleases and its value as security for the Indebtedness and the Obligations). Agent shall have the option, exercisable upon notice from Agent to Borrower (or the applicable Member) and at Borrower’s (or the applicable Member’s) expense, to conduct and control any such litigation with counsel of Agent’s choice. Agent may proceed in its own name or in the name of Borrower (or the applicable Member), and Borrower hereby assigns (and shall cause the Members to assign) to Agent, and hereby agrees to execute (or caused to be executed) any and all powers, authorizations, consents or other documents reasonably required by Agent in connection with all of its (or their) rights in respect of, any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of the Ground Lease or the Severance Subleases by Ground Lessor, including, without limitation, the right to file and prosecute, either in its own name or in the name of Borrower (or the Members), any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any such action, proceeding, motion or notice.

(a) Declare Lenders’ obligations to make Advances hereunder to be terminated, whereupon the same shall terminate, and/or declare all Indebtedness (including the Exit Fee (as defined in the Side Letter re: Fees)) to be immediately due and payable, whereupon same shall become and be immediately due and payable, anything in the Building Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, and without presentation, protest or further demand or notice of any kind (all of which are expressly hereby waived by Borrower); provided, however, that Lenders may make Advances or parts of Advances thereafter without thereby waiving the right to demand payment of the Building Loan Notes, without becoming liable to make any other or further Advances, and without affecting the validity of or enforceability of the Building Loan Documents; provided further, however, with respect to an Event of Default described in Section 9.01(g) hereof, all Indebtedness (including the Exit Fee) shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Building Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding), and Agent may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Building Loan Documents against any Borrower Entity and/or the Mortgaged Property, including all rights or remedies available at law or in equity.

(b) Agent may cause the Project to be constructed and developed until achievement of Final Completion and Stabilized Occupancy and may enter upon the Premises and construct, equip and complete the Project substantially in accordance with the Plans and Specifications (with such changes or modifications thereto

(c) Appoint or seek appointment of a receiver, without notice and without regard to the solvency of Borrower or the adequacy of the security, for the purpose of preserving the Mortgaged Property, preventing waste, and to protect all rights accruing to Lenders by virtue of this Agreement and the other Building Loan Documents, and expressly to do any further acts as Agent may determine to be necessary to complete the development and construction of the Project (including achieving Final Completion and Stabilized Occupancy). All expenses incurred in connection with the appointment of such receiver, or in protecting, preserving, or improving the Mortgaged Property, shall be charged against Borrower with interest thereon from the date of such expenditure to the date repaid at the Default Rate and shall be secured by the Building Loan Mortgage and enforceable as a lien against the Mortgaged Property.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, at any time and from time to time, without notice (any such notice being expressly waived), and without regard to the adequacy of any collateral, set-off and apply (x) any and all deposits and other amounts (general or specific, time or demand, provisional or final, regardless of currency, maturity, or the branch where the deposits are held) at any time held by Agent,

Borrower’s Bank or any other escrow bank pursuant to the provisions hereof and of all other Loan Documents and (y) all other sums credited by or due from Agent or any Lender to the extent permitted by Section 3.15(b) hereof.

(f) If an Event of Default (or a Default, if such Default is that an insurance policy required to be maintained under the Building Loan Documents is no longer in effect) shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent shall have the right, but not the duty, without limitation upon any of Agent’s rights pursuant hereto, to perform the obligations of or cure any breaches by any Borrower Entity which are the subject of the Event of Default (or the Default), in which event Borrower agrees to pay to Agent, within five (5) Business Days after demand therefor, all actual costs and expenses incurred by Agent in connection therewith, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, together with interest from the date of expenditure at the Default Rate. Upon demand by Agent, each of the Lenders shall promptly advance to Agent in immediately available funds its ratable portion of the funds expended by Agent in curing such Event of Default (or Default), together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of Agent’s payment through the date prior to the date on which such advance is received by Agent.

(g) Agent may terminate or rescind any proceeding or other action brought in connection with its exercise of the remedies provided in this Section at any time before the conclusion thereof, as determined in Agent’s sole discretion and without prejudice to Lenders.

(a) In the event of any Event of Default under Section 9.01(g), if Borrower or a Member seeks to reject the Ground Lease or a Severance Sublease pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any analogous provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, Borrower or such Member shall give Agent not less than thirty (30) days’ prior notice of the date on which Borrower or such Member shall apply to the applicable Governmental Authority for authority to reject the Ground Lease or such Severance Sublease. Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon Borrower or such Member within such thirty (30) day period a notice stating that Agent demands that Borrower or such Member assume and assign the Ground Lease or such Severance Sublease to Agent pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. If Agent shall serve upon Borrower or such Member the notice described in the preceding sentence, Borrower or such Member shall not seek to reject the Ground Lease or such Severance Sublease and shall comply with the demand provided for in the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the notice shall have been given or such shorter time as may be necessary to assume such Ground Lease or Severance Sublease in such proceeding.

(b) Borrower shall not (and shall not permit any Member to), without Agent’s prior written consent, elect to treat the Ground Lease or a Severance Sublease as terminated under subsection 365(h)(1)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code or any analogous provision of any other Bankruptcy Law. Any such election made without Agent’s consent shall be void.

(c) If pursuant to subsection 365(h)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code or any analogous provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, Borrower or a Member shall seek to offset against the rent reserved in the Ground Lease or a Severance Sublease the amount of any damages caused by the nonperformance by the Ground Lessor or any other fee owner of its or their obligations under the Ground Lease or by the sublessor of its obligations under a Severance Sublease after the rejection by Ground Lessor or such sublessor under the Bankruptcy Code or such other applicable Bankruptcy Law, Borrower or such Member shall, prior to effecting such offset, notify Agent of its intent to do so, setting forth the amounts proposed to be so offset and the basis therefor. Agent shall have the right to object to all or any part of such offset that, in the reasonable judgment of Agent, would constitute a breach of the Ground Lease or such Severance Sublease, and in the event of such objection, Borrower or such Member shall not effect any offset of the amounts so objected to by Agent. Neither Agent’s failure to object as aforesaid nor any objection relating to such offset shall constitute an approval of any such offset by Agent.

(b) ALL POTENTIAL LIENORS ARE HEREBY CAUTIONED TO EXERCISE SOUND BUSINESS JUDGMENT IN THE EXTENSION OF CREDIT TO ANY BORROWER ENTITY. NO POTENTIAL LIENOR SHOULD EXPECT LENDERS OR AGENT TO MAKE ADVANCES OF THE BUILDING LOAN IN AMOUNTS AND AT TIMES SUCH THAT IT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY FOR EACH SUCH POTENTIAL LIENOR TO EXERCISE SOUND BUSINESS JUDGMENT IN THE EXTENSION OF CREDIT TO BORROWER. MOREOVER, ALL POTENTIAL LIENORS ARE REMINDED THAT SUBDIVISION (3) OF SECTION 13 OF THE NEW YORK LIEN LAW PROVIDES THAT “NOTHING IN THIS SUBDIVISION SHALL BE CONSIDERED AS IMPOSING UPON THE LENDERS ANY OBLIGATION TO SEE TO THE PROPER APPLICATION OF SUCH ADVANCES BY THE OWNER,” AND LENDERS AND AGENT DO NOT IMPOSE SUCH AN OBLIGATION ON THEMSELVES.

(b) Subject to Section 11.23 hereof, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Agent or any Lender may provide to any potential assignee or participant originals or copies of this Agreement, any other Building Loan Documents and any other documents, instruments, certificates, opinions, insurance policies, letters of credit, reports, requisitions and other materials and information at any time submitted by or on behalf of any Borrower Entity or received by Agent and/or Lenders in connection with the Building Loan. Agent and each Lender agree that as a condition to such disclosure to any such assignee or participant, Agent or such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to cause such assignee or participant to agree to keep such information confidential in a manner substantially similar to Section 11.23 hereof. In addition, Borrower agrees to cooperate in all reasonable respects with Agent and/or Lenders in the exercise of their respective rights pursuant to this Section 11.05, including, without limitation, providing such information and documentation regarding Borrower Entities, or any other Person and their businesses and finances as Agent and/or Lenders or any potential assignee or participant may reasonably request and meeting with potential assignees and participants upon reasonable notice.

MECHANICS LIEN WAIVER

(b) If any lien or security interest granted to Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents is or becomes, for any reason, unenforceable or unperfected, such unenforceability or lack of perfection shall not affect the relative rights, as between Senior Lender and Subordinate Lender, which are intended to be created by the Senior

(c) Subordinate Lender will, at Subordinate Lender’s expense and at any time and from time to time, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further actions, that may be reasonably necessary, or that Senior Lender may reasonably request, to protect any right or interest granted by this Agreement or to enable Senior Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies under this Agreement.

(d) To the extent that Borrower makes a payment or payments to Senior Lender or Senior Lender receives any payment or proceeds of any security for the Senior Loan, which payment(s) or proceed(s) (or any part) are subsequently voided, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent conveyances or preferential transfers, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of the payment(s) or proceeds received by Senior Lender, the Senior Loan (or part intended to be satisfied) will be revived for all purposes of this Agreement and will continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Senior Lender.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Senior Loan Documents, (i) Subordinate Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any default under the terms of any of the Senior Loan Documents which can be cured with the payment of a sum of money (a “Monetary Default”) (which cure must include all default interest, late charges, protective advances and reimbursable sums (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) then due and owing to Senior Lender (collectively, the “Cure Amount”)), on or before the tenth (10th) day after Senior Lender has given the first Senior Lender Notice of such Monetary Default; provided, however, that the cure rights of Subordinate Lender shall not apply to any Monetary Default (or series of Monetary Defaults) that have been (or continue to be) cured by Subordinate Lender more than three (3) consecutive times in any twelve (12) month period and, in the event that Subordinate Lender and/or Borrower successfully cures such default within such ten (10) days, Senior Lender shall not commence any acceleration, foreclosure action or other proceeding against the Senior Loan Collateral, and any amounts expended or paid by Subordinate Lender to cure such Monetary Default shall be deemed permitted advances under the Subordinate Loan Documents and under this Agreement without the further consent of Senior Lender; and (ii) in the event a Monetary Default becomes an Event of Default, and in lieu of the cure right set forth in clause (i) of this subparagraph (b), Subordinate Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, on or before the forty-fifth (45th) day after Senior Lender has given a notice of the occurrence of such Event of Default, to obtain an assignment from the Senior Lender of the Senior Loan Documents upon payment in full of the Cure Amount plus the Exit Fee (as defined in the Side Letter re: Fees) (which Exit Fee shall be, for purposes of this Agreement, deemed payable at the time of such assignment) (collectively, the “Owed Amount”) (but without any prepayment premium or penalty) together with any reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by the Senior Lender in connection with such assignment.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Senior Loan Documents, if the default so specified in a Senior Lender Notice is the failure of Borrower to observe or perform any covenant, promise or agreement in any Senior Loan Document, which default cannot be cured by the payment of money, Subordinate Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, (i) to cure such default by observing or performing such covenant, promise or agreement on or before the twentieth (20th) day after Senior Lender has given the First Senior Loan Notice of such default, or (ii) in the event such default becomes an Event of Default, to obtain an assignment from the Senior Lender of the Senior Loan Documents upon payment in full of the Owed Amount (but without any prepayment premium or penalty) together with any reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by the Senior Lender in connection with such assignment, on or before the forty-fifth (45th) day after the expiration of the Cure Period (as hereinafter defined). If the default is not susceptible of cure within such twenty (20) day period, Subordinate Lender shall have such additional time as is necessary, but in no event more than ninety (90) days (such time period, the “Cure Period”), in order to effect such cure on the condition that Subordinate Lender promptly commences and diligently pursues such cure to completion. If the curing of such default is successfully completed within the Cure Period, Senior Lender shall not commence any acceleration, any foreclosure action

(d) If the default specified in a Senior Lender Notice is not cured in accordance with the provisions of either subparagraph 4(b) or (c) hereinabove, Senior Lender shall be entitled to exercise its acceleration and other rights and remedies under the Senior Loan Documents.

(e) Following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Noticed Default relating to a Monetary Default or any other Event of Default, Subordinate Lender shall not accept any payment (whether from Borrower or any other person or entity) with respect to the Subordinate Loan before the Senior Loan has been irrevocably paid in full in cash. In the event that Subordinate Lender receives, directly or indirectly, any payment with respect to the Subordinate Loan in violation of the foregoing sentence, Subordinate Lender will receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of Senior Lender and will promptly deliver the same to Senior Lender in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment without recourse and without representation or warranty by Subordinate Lender to Senior Lender or its order where necessary) for application to the Senior Loan.

(f) Without limiting Senior Lender’s rights, benefits, remedies and privileges under this Agreement or the Senior Loan Documents, Senior Lender may, at any time, in its sole discretion, take all or any of the following actions without releasing Subordinate Lender from its obligations hereunder or incurring any liability to Subordinate Lender: (i) renew, extend, accelerate (on the terms set forth in the Senior Loan Documents) or postpone the time of payment of all or any portion of the Senior Debt or grant any indulgence with respect to the Senior Loan; (ii) compromise or settle the Senior Loan; and (iii) waive, substitute, surrender, exchange or release any of the security provided by the Senior Loan Documents; provided, however, that the maximum aggregate amount of the Senior Loan shall not be increased.

(a) Subordinate Lender shall waive any rights it may have pursuant to any Subordinate Loan Document to approve or to consent to any action of Borrower if Senior Lender shall have approved or consented to such action, and in the event that Senior Lender has no approval or consent rights over an action by Borrower, Subordinate Lender hereby waives any approval or consent rights it may have over any such action;

(b) Subordinate Lender shall not, without the prior consent of Senior Lender, take any Enforcement Action (as hereinafter defined). For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Enforcement Action” shall mean, with respect to the Subordinate Loan Documents, the acceleration of all or any part of the Subordinate Loan, any foreclosure proceedings, the exercise of any power of sale, the acceptance by the holder of the Subordinate Mortgages of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, the obtaining

(c) In the event (i) the Senior Loan becomes due or is declared due and payable prior to its stated maturity, (ii) Subordinate Lender receives any payment with respect to the Subordinate Loan contrary to the terms of this Agreement or the Subordinate Loan Documents, (iii) an Event of Default under and as defined in the Senior Loan Agreements has occurred and is continuing, or (iv) of a Reorganization Proceeding, then, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities which, but for these subordination provisions, shall be payable or deliverable with respect to any or all of the Subordinate Loan, shall be paid forthwith or delivered directly to Senior Lender for application to the payment of the Senior Loan. Any such payment or distribution received by Subordinate Lender (notwithstanding the preceding sentence of this paragraph) shall be segregated from the funds and property of Subordinate Lender and held in trust by Subordinate Lender for the benefit of, and shall be forthwith be paid over or delivered in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements) by Subordinate Lender to Senior Lender for application to the payment of the Senior Loan. Senior Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, demand, claim and collect any such payment or distribution that would, but for these subordination provisions, be payable or deliverable with respect to the Subordinate Loan. In the event of the occurrence of (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above and until the Senior Loan shall have been fully paid and satisfied and all of the obligations to Senior Lender have been performed in full, no payment shall be made to or accepted by Subordinate Lender in respect of the Subordinate Loan;

(d) Subordinate Lender retains any right it may have to request that a final judgment in a foreclosure of the Senior Mortgages direct payment to Subordinate Lender of all or any part of the indebtedness secured by the Subordinate Mortgages from the proceeds of the foreclosure sale of the Senior Mortgage to the extent that the proceeds of such foreclosure sale are in excess of any amounts necessary to satisfy the Senior Loan;

(e) Subordinate Lender shall not modify, waive or amend any of the terms or provisions of the Subordinate Loan Documents without the prior consent of Senior Lender. In addition, Subordinate Lender shall not pledge, assign, hypothecate,

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Senior Loan Documents, during the continuance of a default by Borrower which can be cured by the payment of money under the Subordinate Loan Documents beyond any applicable notice or grace period, if the Senior Loan Documents are not then in default with respect to the payment of principal and interest, Subordinate Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time prior to the giving by Senior Lender of a Senior Lender Notice, to obtain an assignment from the Senior Lender of the Senior Loan Documents upon payment in full of the Owed Amount together with any reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements incurred by the Senior Lender in connection with such assignment; and

(h) To the extent that Subordinate Lender acquires any right under Section 361, 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, Subordinate Lender hereby agrees not to assert such rights without the prior consent of Senior Lender. In the event of the occurrence of a Reorganization Proceeding, if proper proofs of claim and other pleadings and motions are not filed by Subordinate Lender at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date for such pleadings, Senior Lender shall have the right, upon at least ten (10) days prior notice to Subordinate Lender, to file appropriate proofs of claim and other pleadings or motions on behalf of Subordinate Lender.

(a) If, during the term of the Building Loan, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of maintaining the LIBOR Rate (including, but not limited to, a reserve requirement), or a reduction on the amounts received or receivable under the Building Loan Notes, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in the judicial or regulatory interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any new guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), and provided that such change or new guideline or request generally affects similarly situated banks, financial institutions or any other applicable type of entity, then Borrower shall from time to time pay to Agent additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, explaining the reason for and showing the calculation of such increased cost, all in reasonable detail, submitted to Borrower by Agent or any Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

SECTION 3.14 Illegality and Inability to Determine. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Building Loan Notes, if at any time after the date hereof Agent shall notify Borrower that (i) Agent is unable to determine the LIBOR Rate, (ii) the making or continuance of a LIBOR Rate loan has been made (x) unlawful by law or governmental rule, regulation or order, (y) impossible by compliance by any Lender with any new governmental request (whether or not having the force of law) or any change in the judicial or regulatory interpretation of any law or regulation, or (z) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the date of this Agreement which materially and adversely affects the interbank Eurodollar market, or (iii) due to circumstances affecting the LIBOR Rate market generally, the LIBOR Rate will not adequately reflect the cost to Lenders of maintaining such LIBOR Rate in effect, then the Interest Rate in effect for the Outstanding Principal shall automatically convert to the Base Rate plus one percent (1%) and the Default Rate in effect on the Outstanding Principal shall automatically convert to the Base Rate plus six percent (6%); unless, in the case of clause (iii), within five (5) Business Days of notice from Agent thereof, Borrower pays the difference in cost to Lenders of maintaining such LIBOR Rate in effect.

SECTION 3.15 Payments and Computations. (a) All payments due under the Building Loan Documents shall be received by Agent not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in U.S. dollars to Agent to the account specified in the Building Loan Notes. Any payment received by Agent after 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Any payment due under any Building Loan Document which is timely paid to Agent shall be deemed, as between the Person making such payment and Lenders, to have been timely paid.

SECTION 3.16 Net Payment; Taxes. (a) All payments to Lenders under any Building Loan Document shall be made without any set-off, defense or counterclaim, and free and clear of, and without deduction for any withholdings or on account of, any present or future income, excise and other taxes of whatever nature (other than taxes generally assessed on income or receipts of any Lender or any franchise taxes imposed upon any Lender), or any levies, imposts, duties, charges or fees of any nature now or hereafter imposed by any Governmental Authority, and all interest, penalties or other liabilities with respect thereto (collectively, “Taxes”). If any Borrower Entity is

compelled by law to make any such deductions or withholdings, Borrower shall (or shall cause such other Borrower Entity to) pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amount received by Lenders after such deductions or withholdings (including any required deduction or withholding on such additional amounts) shall equal the amount each Lender would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, and Borrower shall (or shall cause such other Borrower Entity to) promptly provide Agent with evidence satisfactory to Agent that it has paid such deductions or withholdings. Moreover, if any Taxes are directly assessed against any Lender, such Lender may pay such Taxes and Borrower shall pay such additional amount as may be necessary in order that the net amount received by such Lender after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such Lender would have received had no such Taxes been assessed.

SECTION 3.17 Distribution to Lenders. (a) In the event Agent receives current funds, in payment of principal, interest or any other sums due hereunder of which Lenders are entitled to a share, on or prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on any Business Day, then, on such date, Agent will notify Lenders of the same and will distribute like funds by wire transfer of immediately available funds to each Lender ratably to such accounts at such places as have been designated by the respective Lenders in writing from time to time. If such funds are received after 2:00 P.M. (New York City

time) on any Business Day, then Agent shall distribute such funds no later than the next succeeding Business Day. Upon Agent’s receipt of any other amounts payable by Borrower or any other Person for items other than principal, interest or any other sums due under the Building Loan Documents of which Lenders are entitled to a share pursuant to the terms of any Building Loan Document or any Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, Agent shall cause the payment to be applied in accordance with this Agreement, the other Building Loan Documents and such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement.

SECTION 3.18 Balloon Payment. Borrower understands and acknowledges that this Agreement and the other Building Loan Documents do not provide for any required amortization of the Building Loan and therefore, at the Maturity Date, a balloon payment of the Outstanding Principal will be required, along with payment in full of other sums due hereunder and under the other Building Loan Documents.

SECTION 3.19 Extensions. (a) Borrower shall have two (2) options to extend the term of the Loans (but not the term of only the Building Loan or only the Project Loan) for six (6) months each upon the satisfaction of the following terms and conditions:

If the conditions under this Section 3.19(a) are met, then the reference to the Original Maturity Date in the definition of Maturity Date (or such later date that has replaced the Original Maturity Date in said definition as a result of the application of the last sentence of Section 3.19(b) hereof) shall be deemed deleted and replaced with a reference to a date that is the six-month anniversary of the Original Maturity Date (or such later date) (in the case of the first option) (such date, the “First Extended Maturity Date”) or the date that is the six-month anniversary of the First Extended Maturity Date (or such later date that has replaced the First Extended Maturity Date in said definition as a result of the application of the last sentence of Section 3.19(b) hereof)(in the case of the second option) (the “Second Extended Maturity Date”). Such extension shall be on the same terms and conditions contained in this Agreement except (x) to the extent expressly provided to the contrary herein, and (y) if the first extension has occurred, Borrower shall only have the right to one (1) remaining six-month extension pursuant to this Section 3.19(a) and if the second extension has occurred, Borrower shall have no further right to extend the term of the Loans pursuant to this Section 3.19(a).

SECTION 3.20 Reallocations. Agent and Borrower acknowledge and confirm that NYTC Member has the right to dispute any Draw Request (including if made after the NYTC Units Redemption) and the allocation of costs to the Units shown in any Draw Request, as and to the extent set forth in the Operating Agreement. (Notwithstanding the foregoing or the further provisions of this Section 3.20, no such dispute shall abrogate, nullify or modify any Draw Request or any portion thereof.) Agent and Borrower further acknowledge that, following the resolution by agreement between the Members of any such dispute (which agreement or determination Borrower, the Members, and Agent shall accept as final and binding), Borrower shall reallocate Building Loan Costs and Project Loan Costs between the FC Units and the NYTC Units as necessary to reflect the resolution or arbitration of the issues in dispute, and the next Draw Request shall reflect such re-allocations. More particularly, Borrower and Agent agree that if any costs were (or are) initially allocated to the FC Units or the NYTC Units (such Units, the “Overfunding Unit”) and then are re-allocated to the other Units (such Units, the “Underfunding Unit”), the Building Loan Costs and Project Loan Costs allocated to the Overfunding Unit shall be decreased by all such amounts which are so re-allocated, together with interest thereon as provided herein from the date on which such cost was (or is) paid by an Advance, until the date on which each such cost is re-allocated to the Underfunding Units, and the Building Loan Costs and Project Loan Costs of the Underfunding Units shall be likewise increased. In such event, at the next Draw Request, the Maximum Amount covering the Overfunding Unit shall be retroactively increased to reflect the reallocated items of Building Loan Costs and Project Loan Costs, together with interest at the Interest Rate from the date of the Advance for such item, and the outstanding balance of the Maximum Amount covering the Underfunding Units shall be retroactively decreased to reflect such reallocated items of Building Loan Costs and Project Loan Costs, together with interest at the Interest Rate. Corresponding adjustments shall be made in the applicable Budgets. In addition, if the Overfunding Unit had funded such amount not through an Advance but through a capital contribution or out of other funds, then a reallocation shall be made to reflect such amount in the applicable Budgets.

SECTION 4.01 Conditions of Building Loan Closing. The obligation of Agent to execute and deliver on the Closing Date the Loan Documents to which it is a party shall be subject to the following conditions precedent, unless any such condition precedent is waived by Agent in its sole discretion (and Agent hereby agrees that its execution and delivery of this Agreement constitutes an acknowledgment that all such conditions precedent have been satisfied or waived as a condition precedent to the closing hereunder):

SECTION 4.02 Conditions of Advances. The obligation of the Lenders to make the initial Advance (the “Initial Construction Advance”) or any subsequent Advances (unless any such condition precedent is waived by Agent in its sole discretion (subject to Section 8.03 hereof)) of the Building Loan shall be subject to the following conditions precedent:

SECTION 4.03 Conditions of Final Construction Advance. In addition to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 above, each Lender’s obligation to make the final Advance for NYTC Units Budget costs or for FC Units Budget costs, or for the Loans, pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to satisfaction of the following additional conditions (unless waived by Agent in its sole discretion (subject to Section 8.03) or unless all of the Indebtedness is being paid in full at the time of the making of the final Advance):

SECTION 4.04 Contributions of Initial Required Equity Funds.

SECTION 4.05 Interest Advances. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 4.01, 4.02 and 4.03, Advances for the payment of interest due under the Building Loan Notes shall be made in accordance with Section 5.03(b) hereof.

SECTION 5.01 Administration. As compensation for serving as Agent, Borrower shall pay Agent the Administration Fee.

SECTION 5.02 Procedure for Advances.

SECTION 5.03 Funds Advanced; Capitalized Interest. (a) All proceeds of all Advances shall be used by Borrower only for the purposes for which such Advances were made. Borrower shall not commingle such funds with other funds of Borrower.

SECTION 5.04 Advances Do Not Constitute a Waiver. No Advance shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions of Lenders’ obligation to make further Advances nor, in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any such condition, shall any Advance have the effect of precluding Agent from thereafter declaring a Default or Event of Default hereunder.

SECTION 5.05 Trust Fund Provisions. All proceeds advanced hereunder shall be subject to the trust fund provisions of Section 13 of the Lien Law. The Lien Law Affidavit is made pursuant to and in compliance with Section 22 of the Lien Law, and, if so indicated in said Affidavit, Building Loan proceeds will be used, in part, for reimbursement for payments made by the Borrower prior to the date hereof and prior to the Initial Construction Advance hereunder but subsequent to the commencement of the construction and equipping of the Project for items constituting Costs of the Improvement.

To induce Lenders to make the Building Loan and to induce Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Building Loan Documents, for itself and on behalf of Lenders, and to perform Agent’s and Lenders’ obligations hereunder and thereunder, Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Agent for the benefit of Lenders that:

SECTION 6.01 Validity of Building Loan Documents. The Building Loan Documents are in all respects valid and legally binding obligations, enforceable against each Borrower Entity which is a party thereto in accordance with their respective terms (subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally). The Building Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by any Borrower Entity, including the defense of usury. No Borrower Entity has asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect to the Building Loan Documents.

SECTION 6.02 Title. Borrower has good and marketable title to a ground leasehold estate in the premises demised under the Ground Lease and the Members collectively have good marketable title to the premises demised under the Severance Subleases, in each case subject to no Liens other than the Permitted Exceptions. Borrower has, or will have at the time of payment therefor, good and marketable title to the Personal Property and no Lien has been or will be executed in favor of any Person other than Agent with respect to any of the Personal Property other than the Permitted Exceptions. Borrower has no knowledge of any claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Mortgaged Property which are or may become a

Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the lien created by any Security Document. The provisions of each Security Document are effective to create, in favor of Agent for the benefit of Lenders, a legal, valid and enforceable lien, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, on or security interest in all of the collateral described therein (subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally), and when the appropriate recordings and filings have been effected in public offices, each of the Security Documents will constitute a perfected lien on and security interest in all right, title, estate and interest in the collateral described therein, prior and superior to all other Liens, except as permitted under the Building Loan Documents and the Permitted Exceptions.

SECTION 6.03 Absence of Conflicts. The execution and delivery of the Building Loan Documents by Borrower Entities to the extent each is a party thereto do not, and the performance and observance by Borrower Entities of their respective obligations thereunder will not, contravene or result in a breach of or default under (a) any provision of any Borrower Entity’s organizational documents, (b) any Legal Requirements applicable to any Borrower Entity, or to the Mortgaged Property or the use or operation thereof, (c) any decree or judgment binding on any Borrower Entity, or its assets, or (d) any agreement or instrument binding on any Borrower Entity, or its assets. The execution and delivery of the Building Loan Documents by Borrower Entities to the extent each is a party thereto, and the performance and observance by each Borrower Entity of its obligations thereunder will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than pursuant to the Building Loan Documents or the Permitted Exceptions) upon any of its assets, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

SECTION 6.04 Pending Litigation. (a) Except for matters disclosed to Agent in the Disclosure Side Letter (the “Pending Litigations”), there are no litigations, writs, injunctions, orders, judgments, actions, suits or proceedings existing or pending or threatened in writing against the Mortgaged Property, Borrower or any Member.

The Mortgaged Property currently is and upon completion of such contemplated construction, the use thereof will be, in all respects in compliance with all Material Contracts, all Public Project Documents and all Legal Requirements, and such compliance is not dependent on any land, improvements or facilities not a part of the Mortgaged Property. Borrower has all Governmental Approvals required to have been obtained to date and all third party consents and approvals necessary for the construction of the Project or any part thereof or the commencement or continuance of construction thereon, as the case may be, including but not limited to, where appropriate, all required environmental permits, all of which have been issued, are in full force and effect and are not subject to any revocation, amendment, release, suspension, forfeiture or the like. Except for the Pending Litigations, there are no pending, or to the Knowledge of Borrower, threatened in writing, litigations, writs, injunctions, orders, judgments, actions, suits or proceedings (a) to revoke, attach, invalidate, rescind or modify any such Governmental Approval or third party consent or approval, or the zoning and/or restrictive covenants applicable to the Premises or any part thereof, as currently existing and as intended to exist upon completion of such contemplated construction or (b) which have any chance (other than an immaterial chance) of being determined adversely to Borrower, and if so determined adversely, would materially delay, interfere with or otherwise have any material adverse effect on such contemplated construction or the Construction Schedule.

SECTION 6.09 Condition of Property. Since the execution and delivery of the Ground Lease, there has not, to the Knowledge of Borrower, been any bodily injury or property damage occurring in or upon the Premises as a result of any fire, explosion, accident, flood or other casualty. With respect to the accidents previously disclosed to Agent, Borrower hereby represents and warrants that all such accidents are fully insured by its Policies (except for the deductibles applicable thereto).

Borrower shall from time to time, upon request by Agent, use diligent efforts to cause General Contractor to provide Agent and Construction Consultant with reports in regard to the status of construction of the Project, in such form and detail as reasonably requested by Agent.

have deposited with or delivered to Agent, as applicable, cash collateral, a bond or such other security reasonably satisfactory to Agent, on such terms as may be reasonably satisfactory to Agent and (if applicable) in an amount as may be deemed reasonably necessary by Agent (taking into account amounts provided for in the applicable Budget for such Property Taxes and amounts remaining to be funded from the applicable Loan with respect thereto) to pay for such contest and to pay any such Property Taxes to the extent Borrower (or such Member) has not paid such Property Taxes to the applicable Governmental Authority), and any fines, penalties, charges and interest thereon which may be awarded or assessed (which amount shall be increased at the request of Agent when Agent determines (in its reasonable judgment) that a greater amount may be required to make such payments), (3) such proceeding shall not subject Agent, any Lender, Borrower or any Member to the risk of any criminal liability, (4) no Noticed Default or Event of Default shall then exist under any Building Loan Document, (5) Borrower (or such Member) gives Agent (x) reasonably continuous notice upon the commencement and during the continuation of any such proceeding of the status thereof, and (y) confirmation on such periodic basis as Agent may request of the continuing satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (1) through (4) above, and (6) Borrower (or such Member) shall have furnished to Agent all other items reasonably requested by Agent.

During the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may, at its option, credit all or any part of any cash, bond or other security then held by it to the Indebtedness in such order as Agent may elect. Upon final determination of such contest, Borrower (or such Member) will take all steps necessary to comply with any requirements arising therefrom.

SECTION 7.26 Comply with Other Building Loan Documents. To perform (and to cause each Member to perform) all of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Building Loan Documents and all other documents evidencing or securing the Building Loan (to the extent each is a party thereto).

SECTION 7.27 Purchase of Material Under Conditional Sale Contract.

SECTION 7.29 Indemnification. (a) To defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against, and to reimburse the affected Indemnified Party for, any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements), liabilities, fines, penalties and charges (collectively, the “Losses”), which are or may be imposed, or sustained by, such Indemnified Party by reason of any matter arising from any Building Loan Document or the Building Loan (including, without limitation, by reason of (w) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (x) any brokerage commissions, (y) any bodily injury or property damage occurring in or upon or in the vicinity of the Mortgaged Property or the Project or (z) any act performed or omitted to be performed hereunder), except (i) costs and expenses of the type described in Section 7.06 for which Borrower is not liable under said Section 7.06 and (ii) to the extent that such Losses resulted from a violation of law by any Indemnified Party or from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party. In case any claim, action or proceeding (a “Claim”) is brought against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnification may be sought by such Indemnified Party pursuant hereto, Agent shall give notice thereof to Borrower, provided, however, that the failure of Agent to so notify Borrower shall not limit or affect such Indemnified Party’s rights to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 7.29 except to the extent Borrower is materially prejudiced by such failure. Upon receipt of such notice of a Claim, Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith investigate, prosecute, negotiate or defend any such Claim with counsel and consultants selected by Borrower

and reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party (provided, however, that if the counsel is required to be selected by Borrower’s insurance provider pursuant to the express terms of the applicable insurance policy, such counsel shall be deemed satisfactory to such Indemnified Party), which counsel may, without limiting the rights of such Indemnified Party pursuant to the following sentences of this Section 7.29, also represent Borrower in such investigation, action or proceeding. Borrower shall cause its counsel to promptly keep Agent fully apprised of all matters relating to such Claim including, without limitation, copying Agent on all material written materials generated or received by such counsel, promptly responding to any questions from Agent as to the status of such Claim, and causing such counsel to agree that each Indemnified Party shall be entitled to rely upon the work product of such counsel to the same extent that Borrower is entitled to rely thereon; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to cause such counsel, and such counsel shall not be required, to take any action that, in the reasonable opinion of such counsel, could impair the attorney-client privilege between Borrower and such counsel. In the alternative, such Indemnified Party may elect to conduct its own defense through counsel and consultants of its own choosing and at the sole expense of Borrower, but only if (A) such Indemnified Party determines that the conduct of its defense by Borrower would be in conflict with its interests or is reasonably likely to result in greater liability than would result if such Indemnified Party were directly defending or prosecuting such Claim, (B) Borrower refuses to investigate, prosecute, negotiate or defend, (C) Borrower shall have failed, in such Indemnified Party’s judgment, to investigate, prosecute, negotiate or defend the Claim diligently and in good faith or (D) Borrower shall fail to keep Agent fully apprised of the status of any Claim. Borrower may settle any Claim against such Indemnified Party without such Indemnified Party’s approval, if (i) such settlement is without any liability, cost or expense whatsoever to such Indemnified Party, (ii) the settlement does not include or require any admission of liability or culpability by such Indemnified Party under any federal, state or local statute or regulation, whether criminal or civil in nature and (iii) Borrower obtains an effective written release of liability for such Indemnified Party from the party to the Claim with whom such settlement is being made, which release must be reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Party, and a dismissal with prejudice with respect to all claims made by the party against such Indemnified Party in connection with such Claim; provided, however, that if, pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, any Indemnified Party shall elect to conduct its defense through counsel of its own choosing, such Indemnified Party shall have the right (with the reasonable consent of Borrower if clause (A) only of the immediately preceding sentence applies), to settle such Claim in good faith and Borrower shall be responsible for any such settlement. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring Agent or any Indemnified Party to expend funds or incur costs to defend any Claim in connection with the matters for which Agent or any Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.29. The obligations of Borrower hereunder shall specifically include the obligation to expend its own funds, to incur costs in its own name and to perform all actions as may be necessary to protect any Indemnified Party from the necessity of expending its own funds, incurring costs or performing any actions in connection with the matters for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Indemnified Party shall incur any expenses hereunder,

Borrower shall reimburse such Indemnified Party for all such amounts within ten (10) days after demand therefor, and any amounts not so reimbursed shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such amount was due until so paid.

not constitute a Major Decision or Super-Major Decision requiring the approval of any other Lender. Any provision of this Agreement which grants to Agent the right to make a decision at its sole discretion or in its reasonable judgment or at its option or any other similar provision is intended, unless the context shall clearly require otherwise, to apply only to relations between Borrower, the other Borrower Entities and Agent and the respective rights and obligations of Borrower, the other Borrower Entities and Agent hereunder and shall not apply to the relations between Agent and the Lenders or the respective rights and obligations of Agent and the Lenders hereunder.

SECTION 8.04 Agent’s Reliance, Etc. (a) Agent shall administer this Agreement and the other Building Loan Documents and service the Building Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and with the same degree of

121

care as Agent would use in servicing a loan of similar size and type held for its own account, provided, however, that none of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with the Building Loan Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with the Building Loan Documents; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Building Loan Document on the part of any Borrower Entity to inspect the Mortgaged Property (except that prior to Substantial Completion, Agent shall (or shall direct Construction Consultant to) periodically inspect the Mortgaged Property as necessary to comply with the standard of care described in the first sentence of this Section 8.04) or the books and records of any Borrower Entity; (iv) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Building Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Building Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopier, telegram, cable or telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

SECTION 8.05 Payments to Lenders. Agent shall remit to Lenders their ratable shares of any payment received from Borrower or from another source on account of sums payable by Borrower. The provisions of this Section are for the sole benefit of Agent and Lenders and therefore may be modified, amended or deleted as Agent and Lenders shall mutually agree without the consent of any Borrower Entity.

SECTION 8.06 Construction Consultant. (a) Borrower acknowledges that (i) the Construction Consultant has been retained by Agent to act as a consultant and only as a consultant to Agent in connection with the construction of the Project and has no duty to any Borrower Entity, (ii) the Construction Consultant shall in no event have any power or authority to give any approval or consent or to do any other act or thing which is binding upon Agent and/or Lenders, (iii) Agent reserves the right to make any and all decisions required to be made by Agent under the Building Loan Documents and to give or refrain from giving any and all consents or approvals required to be given by Agent under the Building Loan Documents and to accept or not accept any matter or thing required to be accepted by Agent under the Building Loan Documents, and without being bound or limited in any manner or under any circumstance whatsoever by any

122

opinion expressed or not expressed, or advice given or not given, or information, certificate or report provided or not provided, by the Construction Consultant with respect thereto, and (iv) Agent reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to disregard or disagree, in whole or in part, with any opinion expressed, advice given or information, certificate or report furnished or provided by the Construction Consultant to Agent or any other Person.

SECTION 8.07 Actions of Agent Binding Upon Lenders. Any Borrower Entity shall be entitled to rely upon any notice from or action taken by Agent, and no Borrower Entity shall be under any duty to inquire as to whether such notice or action has been duly authorized by the Lenders.

SECTION 8.08 Initial Agent

123

124

125

126

127

SECTION 10.01 Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (or, to the extent provided in Section 10.01(f), a Default), Agent may, at any time thereafter, at its option, exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:

128

129

130

SECTION 10.02 Power of Attorney. During the continuance of an Event of Default (or effective at any time with respect to the right of Agent to execute and file any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of any Building Loan Document), Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints (and hereby causes the Members to hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint) Agent its (or their) true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and do and perform any acts which are referred to in this Agreement or in the Ground Lease or any Severance Sublease (including, without limitation, those referred to in Section 10.01(b) hereof), in the name and on behalf of Borrower (and/or the Members). The power vested in such attorney-in-fact is, and shall be deemed to be, coupled with an interest and irrevocable.

SECTION 10.03 Remedies Cumulative. During the continuance of any Event of Default, the rights, powers and privileges provided in this Article 10 and all other remedies available to Agent under this Agreement or under any of the other Building Loan Documents or at law or in equity may be exercised by Agent at any time and from time to time and shall not constitute a waiver of Agent’s other rights or remedies thereunder, whether or not the Building Loan shall be due and payable, and whether or not Agent shall have instituted any foreclosure proceedings or other action for the enforcement of its rights under the Building Loan Documents. The exercise or beginning of the exercise by Agent of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Agreement or the other Building Loan Documents or now or

131

hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Agent of all such other rights, powers or remedies, and no failure or delay on the part of Agent to exercise any such right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof. Agent may, at its option, exercise any right or remedy with respect to less than all of the collateral pledged by the Security Documents, leaving unexercised its rights with respect to the remainder thereof, and such partial exercise shall in no way restrict or jeopardize Agent’s right to exercise rights with respect to all or another portion of the collateral at a later time or times.

SECTION 10.04 Annulment of Defaults. An Event of Default shall not be deemed to be in existence for any purpose of this Agreement or any other Building Loan Document if Agent shall have waived such Event of Default in writing or stated that the same has been cured to its satisfaction, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any of the rights of Agent or Lenders upon the occurrence thereof.

SECTION 10.05 Waivers. Borrower hereby waives (and shall cause each other Borrower Entity to waive) to the extent not prohibited by applicable law (a) all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonperformance (except to the extent required by the provisions hereof or of any other Building Loan Documents), protests and notices of dishonor, (b) any requirement of diligence or promptness on Agent’s part in the enforcement of its rights under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Building Loan Document, (c) any and all notices of every kind and description which may be required to be given by any statute or rule of law and (d) all rights to have any security marshaled upon the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Building Loan Document.

SECTION 10.06 Course of Dealing, Etc. No course of dealing and no delay or omission by Agent in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right or remedy and no single or partial exercise thereof shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. No waiver or consent shall be binding upon Agent unless it is in writing and signed by Agent. Agent’s exercise of any right to remedy any default shall not constitute a waiver of the default remedied, a waiver of any other prior or subsequent default or a waiver of the right to be reimbursed for any and all of its expenses in so remedying such default. No Advance of Building Loan proceeds hereunder, no increase or decrease in the amount of any Advance, and no making of all or any part of an Advance prior to the due date thereof shall constitute an approval or acceptance by Agent or Lenders of the work theretofore done or a waiver of any of the conditions of Lenders’ obligation to make further Advances, nor in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any such condition, shall any such failure to insist upon strict compliance have the effect of precluding Lenders from thereafter refusing to make an Advance and/or declaring such inability to be an Event of Default as hereinabove provided. Any Advances hereunder during the existence of a Default or an Event of Default shall not constitute a waiver thereof. All Advances shall be deemed to have been

made pursuant hereto and not in contravention of the terms of this Agreement. All rights and remedies of Agent hereunder are cumulative.

SECTION 10.07 Bankruptcy.

133

SECTION 11.01 Rights of Third Parties. (a) All conditions of the obligations of Agent and Lenders hereunder, including the conditions precedent to the obligation to make Advances, are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and no other Person (including, without limitation, the Construction Consultant, General Contractor, any other Major Contractor, any Major Subcontractor, or any other contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the construction of the Project) shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lenders will make Advances 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 and all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Agent or any Lender any time if in its sole discretion it deems it desirable to do so. In particular, Agent and Lenders make no representations and assume no obligations as to third parties concerning the quality of the construction by Borrower of the Project or the absence therefrom of defects.

SECTION 11.02 Relationship. The relationship between Agent and Lenders on the one hand, and Borrower Entities, on the other hand, is solely that of a lender and borrower, and nothing contained herein or in any of the other Building Loan Documents or the NYTC Completion Guaranty shall in any manner be construed as making the parties hereto partners, joint venturers or any other relationship other than lender and borrower. In addition, neither Agent nor any Lender is the agent or representative of any Borrower Entity and neither this Agreement, any other Building Loan Document or the NYTC Completion Guaranty shall make Agent or any Lender liable to materialmen, contractors, craftsmen, laborers or others for goods delivered to or services performed by them upon the Mortgaged Property, or for debts or claims accruing to such parties against any Borrower Entity and there is no contractual relationship, either express or implied, between Agent or any Lender and any materialmen, subcontractors,

134

craftsmen, laborers, or any other person supplying any work, labor or materials to the Mortgaged Property.

SECTION 11.03 Evidence of Satisfaction of Conditions; Approval Standard. If any condition of this Agreement requires the submission of evidence of the existence or non-existence of a specified fact or facts or implies as a condition the existence or non-existence, as the case may be, of such fact or facts, Agent shall, at all times, be free independently to establish to its satisfaction and in its absolute discretion such existence or non-existence, except where Agent expressly agrees hereunder to be reasonable. In any circumstance where any Building Loan Document or the NYTC Completion Guaranty specifies that the approval or consent of Agent, Construction Consultant or any Indemnified Party must be given, or that any matter or circumstance must be satisfactory or acceptable to, or determined by, Agent, Construction Consultant or any Indemnified Party, then unless expressly set forth to the contrary, such approval or consent or such determination of satisfaction or acceptability or other determination, shall be within the sole and absolute discretion of Agent, Construction Consultant or such Indemnified Party.

SECTION 11.04 Notices. (a) Any request, notice, report, demand, approval or other communication permitted or required by this Agreement to be given or furnished shall be in writing and shall be deemed given or furnished when addressed to the party intended to receive the same, at the address of such party as set forth below, (i) when delivered by overnight nationwide commercial courier service, one (1) Business Day (determined with reference to the location of the recipient) after the date of delivery to such courier service, (ii) when personally delivered, if delivered on a Business Day in the place of receipt and during normal business hours (otherwise on the next occurring Business Day in such place of receipt) or (iii) when transmitted by telecopy to the telecopier number set forth below, to the party intended to receive same, if transmitted on a Business Day in the place of receipt and during normal business hours (and otherwise on the next occurring Business Day in such place of receipt) and provided that such transmission is confirmed by duplicate notice in such other manner as permitted above:

(b) Any party may change the entity, address or the attention party to which any such request, notice, report, demand or other communication is to be given by furnishing notice of such change to the other parties in the manner specified above. Without the prior consent of Agent, Borrower may not add any other parties to these notice provisions. Rejection or refusal to accept, or inability to deliver because of changed address when no notice of changed address was given, shall be deemed to be receipt of any such notice. As between Agent and any Borrower Entities only, a notice given by a party under any Building Loan Document of a change of entity, address or attention party shall be deemed to be a notice of such change to Agent or any such party, as applicable, for purposes of all Building Loan Documents to which such party is a party.

(c) Unless notified to the contrary pursuant to this Section 11.04(c), any notice or communication to be made to any Lender shall be made only to Agent and its counsel as provided for in this Section.

SECTION 11.05 Assignment. (a) Subject to Section 7.50 hereof, Borrower may not assign this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of its rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder without the prior approval of Agent. Subject to the further provisions of this Section 11.05, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that GMACCM and any other Lender may assign, transfer, sell, pledge or grant participation interests in or otherwise hypothecate its rights in, to and under the Loans, the Loan Documents and the NYTC Completion Guaranty, or any portion thereof (any such transaction, an “Assignment”) (i) without Borrower’s consent, to any Eligible Assignee, (ii) subject to clause (iii) of this sentence, with the prior consent of Borrower to any other Person, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or (iii) without Borrower’s consent, to those entities approved by Borrower in the Disclosure Side Letter. Upon any such Assignment by GMACCM or any Lender (excluding any such pledge or other hypothecation or any such granting of a participation interest), GMACCM or such Lender shall be relieved of any liability hereunder and under any Loan Document, but only to the extent such liability is assumed by the assignee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, (1) no consent of Borrower shall be required for any Assignment by GMACCM during the continuance of an Event of Default and no consent of Borrower, GMACCM or Agent shall be required for any Assignment by any other Lender during the continuance of an Event of Default, (2) Agent agrees that prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, GMACCM and its Affiliates shall collectively retain at least $50,000,000.00 of the Loans (including undrawn portions thereof) in the aggregate (or, in the event that there has been any prepayment of any principal amount owing under the Loans, GMACCM and its Affiliates shall collectively retain such portion of the Loans (including undrawn portions thereof) as shall, in the aggregate, bear the

137

same proportion as $50,000,000.00 shall bear to $320,000,000.00), (3) each Lender shall have the right, without the consent of Borrower, Agent or any Lender, to grant participation interests in the Loans to any Person (and any such participations shall not count toward or be violative of clause (2) of this Section 11.05(a)), (4) without Agent’s consent, which may be withheld in Agent’s sole discretion, no Lender shall have the right to consummate an Assignment (other than a participation) with respect to a portion of the Loans not equal to any whole number multiple of $10,000,000, and (5) subject to the foregoing clauses (1), (3) and (4), each Lender’s right to consummate an Assignment shall be subject to Agent’s prior reasonable consent. Clause (2) of the immediately preceding sentence shall not be construed so as to prohibit GMACCM from entering into any so-called “off-balance sheet” or “repurchase” facility arrangement wherein GMACCM shall retain effective control over any portion of the Loans which is subject to such arrangement and shall be responsible for the funding of that portion of the Building Loan. The parties to any Assignment (other than any grantee of a participation interest or any grantee of a pledge or other hypothecation (but not any Person who has foreclosed upon such pledge or hypothecation)) by a Lender shall execute and deliver to Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Agent’s Register, Agent’s form of assignment and acceptance agreement (the “Assignment and Acceptance Agreement”) together with a processing and recordation fee of $2,500, which fee shall cover Agent’s administrative cost in connection with such assignment. The parties to such Assignment shall also pay all of Agent’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements in connection with such Assignment except, with respect to Agent’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the extent paid by Borrower pursuant to Section 7.06(a)(ii) hereof. Each Borrower Entity shall promptly execute and file any amendments to any Building Loan Document or the NYTC Completion Guaranty necessary or desirable to reflect any such Assignment (including, without limitation, multiple notes reflecting such assignee’s interest in the Building Loan) provided the same do not increase any such Borrower Entity’s liabilities (other than to a de minimis extent) or decrease any such Borrower Entity’s rights (other than to a de minimis extent) with respect to the Building Loan. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (x) such assignee shall be a Lender and (y) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it, or assumed by the assignee thereunder, pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Building Loan Documents (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assignor shall cease to be a Lender). The Agent shall maintain a register (the “Agent’s Register”) showing the identity of the Lenders from time to time, and upon request from Borrower from time to time, shall supply Borrower with a copy of the Agent’s Register. Agent acknowledges and confirms that as of the date hereof, GMACCM is the only Lender. Supplementing the foregoing, no entity whose only interest in the Loans is a participation interest or a pledge or other hypothecation (except to the extent such entity has foreclosed on such pledge or other hypothecation) shall be considered, for any purpose hereunder, a Lender.

138

SECTION 11.06 Successors and Assigns Included in Parties. Whenever in this Agreement one of the parties hereto is named or referred to, the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of such party shall be included (including, without limitation, any Member succeeding Borrower to title to any Unit pursuant to Section 7.50 hereof) and all covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of Borrower or by or on behalf of Agent or any Lender shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns (including such Members), whether so expressed or not. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Member is released from liability under the Building Loan Documents pursuant to Section 7.46 hereof, the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of such Member shall also be deemed to have been released to such extent.

SECTION 11.07 Headings. The headings of the Articles, Sections and subsections of this Agreement are for the convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof. All references in this Agreement to Sections, subsections and other divisions are references to the Sections, subsections and divisions of this Agreement unless otherwise stated.

SECTION 11.08 Invalid Provisions to Affect No Others. If fulfillment of any provision hereof or any transaction related hereto at the time performance of such provisions shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity presently prescribed by law, with regard to obligations of like character and amount, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity; and if any clause or provision herein contained operates or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Agreement in whole or in part, then such clause or provision only shall be held for naught, as though not herein contained, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect.

139

SECTION 11.09 Interpretation. Whenever the singular or plural number, or the masculine, feminine or neuter gender is used herein, it shall equally include the other. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.

SECTION 11.10 Computation of Time Periods. In this Agreement, with respect to the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means both “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” both mean “to but excluding.”

SECTION 11.11 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and performed solely within such State.

SECTION 11.12 Consent to Jurisdiction. Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) agrees that any suit, action or other legal proceeding arising out of or relating to the Building Loan Documents may be brought in the courts of record of the State of New York in New York County or the courts of the United States, Southern District of New York; (b) consents to, and waives any and all personal rights under the laws of any state to object to, the jurisdiction of each such court in any such suit, action or proceeding; and (c) waives any objection which it may have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any of such courts. In furtherance of such agreement, Borrower agrees, upon request of Agent, to discontinue (or consent to the discontinuance of) any such suit, action or proceeding pending in any other jurisdiction or court. Nothing contained herein, however, shall prevent Agent from bringing any suit, action or proceeding or exercising any rights against any security and against Borrower, and against any property of Borrower, in any other state or court. Initiating such suit, action or proceeding or taking such action in any state shall in no event constitute a waiver of the agreement contained herein that the laws of the State of New York shall govern the rights and obligations of Borrower and any Lender and Agent hereunder or the submission herein by Borrower to personal jurisdiction within the State of New York. Borrower irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such suit, action or proceeding by service of copies of such process to Borrower at its address provided herein. Nothing in this Section 11.12, however, shall affect the right of Agent to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law. TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY, WITH AND UPON THE ADVICE OF COMPETENT COUNSEL, WAIVES, RELINQUISHES AND FOREVER FORGOES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY CONDUCT, ACT OR OMISSION OF BORROWER, OR ANY OF ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, PARTNERS, PRINCIPALS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES OR ANY OTHER AFFILIATES, IN EACH OF THE FOREGOING CASES, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. The waivers in this Section are given knowingly and voluntarily by Borrower and, with respect to the waiver of jury trial, is

140

intended to encompass individually each instance and each issue as to which the right to a trial by jury would otherwise accrue. Agent is hereby authorized to file a copy of this Section in any proceeding as conclusive evidence of these waivers by Borrower.

SECTION 11.13 Amendments. Except as provided in Article 8 and Section 11.05 hereof, neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

SECTION 11.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be an original, but such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

SECTION 11.15 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Building Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the Building Loan and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof, except as specifically agreed to the contrary.

SECTION 11.16 Recourse. Agent and Lenders shall have full recourse against Borrower for any liability or obligation of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Building Loan Documents. Neither Lenders nor Agent nor any of them shall have any recourse against, or the right to enforce the liability and obligation of, the other Borrower Entities to perform and observe the obligations contained in this Agreement or any other Building Loan Documents by any action or proceeding brought against any such other Borrower Entity other than (1) as expressly provided in the Guaranties, or any other agreement hereafter executed and delivered to Agent by such other Borrower Entity in connection with the Building Loan or (2) against the collateral granted under the Security Documents or any other Building Loan Document. The provisions of this Section 11.16 shall not (i) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Building Loan Documents or the NYTC Completion Guaranty; (ii) affect the validity or enforceability of any Building Loan Document or the NYTC Completion Guaranty or any of the rights and remedies of Agent thereunder; or (iii) impair the right of Agent to obtain the appointment of a receiver. No officer, director, member, shareholder, limited partner, employee, agent, representative, beneficiary or trustee of, or any person executing this Agreement or any other Building Loan Document or the NYTC Completion Guaranty in a representative capacity on behalf of (solely by virtue of such execution) a Borrower Entity shall ever be personally liable hereunder for the obligations of such Borrower Entity, all liability of each Borrower Party being expressly limited to such Borrower Entity (or any general partner, joint venturer, or other person having liability for the obligations of such Borrower Entity as a matter of law) and its assets, and all persons dealing with a Borrower Entity must look solely to such Borrower Entity (or any general partner, joint venturer, or other person having liability for the obligations of such Borrower Entity as a matter of law) and its assets for the enforcement of any claim against such Borrower Entity and in no event

141

shall any recourse be had to the private property of any officer, director, member, shareholder, limited partner, employee, agent, representative, beneficiary or trustee of, or any person executing this agreement on behalf of (solely by virtue of such execution), a Borrower Entity.

SECTION 11.17 Statute of Limitations. Borrower hereby expressly waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by law the pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to payment of the Building Loan or performance of its obligations under any of the Building Loan Documents.

SECTION 11.18 Remedies of Borrower Entities. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Agent or any Lender has acted unreasonably or has unreasonably delayed acting with respect to any consent or approval requested under any Building Loan Document in any case where by law or under the Building Loan Document, it has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Agent or such Lender shall not be liable for any monetary damages, and the sole remedies of Borrower Entities shall be limited to injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.

SECTION 11.19 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement and of each and every term, covenant and condition herein.

SECTION 11.20 Survival. This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lenders of the Building Loan and the execution and delivery to Lenders of the Building Loan Notes (regardless of any investigation made by Lenders or on their behalf), and shall continue in full force and effect so long as all or any part of the Building Loan is outstanding and unpaid.

SECTION 11.21 Usury. This Agreement and the other Building Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower Entities be obligated or required to pay interest on the Building Loan or loan charges at a rate which could subject the holder of the Building Loan Notes to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Rate permitted by applicable law. If by the terms of any Building Loan Document, any Borrower Entity is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the Building Loan or loan charges at a rate in excess of such Maximum Rate, the rate of interest or loan charges under the Building Loan Notes shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such Maximum Rate and the interest payable shall be computed at such Maximum Rate and all prior interest payments or loan charges in excess of such Maximum Rate shall be applied and shall be deemed to have been payment in reduction of the Outstanding Principal. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lenders for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Building Loan or for loan charges shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Building Loan Notes until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Building Loan does not exceed the Maximum Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Building Loan for so long as the Building Loan is outstanding.

142

SECTION 11.22 Successive Actions. A separate right of action hereunder shall arise in favor of (a) Agent or (b) any other Indemnified Party, as the case may be, each time Agent or such Indemnified Party acquires knowledge of any matter indemnified by Borrower hereunder. Separate and successive actions by Agent or any Indemnified Party may be brought hereunder to enforce any of the provisions hereof at any time and from time to time. To the extent permitted by law, no action hereunder shall preclude any subsequent action, and Borrower hereby warrants and covenants not to assert any defense in the nature of splitting of causes of action or merger of judgments.

SECTION 11.23 Confidentiality. Borrower and Agent, for itself and on behalf of Lenders, acknowledge that in connection with the Building Loan, certain information shall be provided which the Providing Party deems proprietary and confidential (such information, the “Information”). Provided that the Providing Party specifies in writing, at the time of its submission to the Receiving Party, that such information is confidential, Borrower agrees and Agent, for itself and on behalf of Lenders, agrees, that the Information shall be kept confidential and shall not be disclosed to any third party except (a) as may be required by any applicable court order or decree, or legal or administrative process; (b) as necessary in connection with the enforcement by Agent of its rights under the Building Loan Documents and the NYTC Completion Guaranty; (c) as may be required by any Governmental Authority, bank regulatory body or representative of any thereof arising out of or in connection with an examination of Agent, any Lender or any Borrower Entity (as applicable); (d) to any of the Receiving Party’s officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, agents, advisors or other representatives who require access to Information to participate in the administration of the Building Loan; or (e) in connection with any actual or proposed Assignment of all or any part of Agent’s or any Lender’s interests in the Building Loan. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower and Agent, for itself and on behalf of Lenders, acknowledge and agree that if any report concerning the Loans or the Project appears in any media outlet (including, without limitation, The New York Times, The Boston Globe, The Worcester Telegram & Gazette and related web sites) owned by NYTC Guarantor (the “News Outlets”), Borrower shall not be in violation of this Section 11.23 as long as Borrower has not disclosed Information to the News Outlets and keeps such Information confidential from the News Outlets in accordance with its standard policies and procedures. For purposes of this Section, “Information” shall include the economic terms and provisions of the Building Loan and shall not include (i) any information, product or structure internally developed by any Receiving Party provided the same does not identify any economic terms of the Building Loan; (ii) any information in any Receiving Party’s possession or otherwise known to any Receiving Party prior to the commencement of negotiations in connection with the consummation of the Building Loan; (iii) any information which is, or becomes, public or part of the public domain; and (iv) any information which was previously, or is subsequent to the date hereof, made available to any Receiving Party by a source not known to such Receiving Party to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with any Borrower Entity, Agent or any Lender (as applicable). Supplementing the foregoing, all publicity statements and press releases issued by any Borrower Entity which refer to Agent, any Lender or the Building Loan must be approved in advance by Agent.

143

SECTION 11.24 Reinstatement of Obligations. If at any time all or any part of any payment made by on behalf of Borrower or received by Agent, any Lender or any Indemnified Party under or with respect to this Agreement is or must be rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever (including, but not limited to, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower), then the obligations of Borrower hereunder shall, to the extent of the payment rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such previous payment, or receipt of payment by Agent, such Lender or such Indemnified Party, and the obligations of Borrower hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such payment, all as though such previous payment had never been made.

SECTION 11.25 Facsimile Signatures. Building Loan Documents (other than any Building Loan Notes) and the NYTC Completion Guaranty may be signed by facsimile. The effectiveness of any such signatures shall, subject to applicable Legal Requirements, have the same force and effect as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on all parties to the Building Loan Documents and the NYTC Completion Guaranty. Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof, provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile signature.

Agent agrees that, if Agent exercises any of its rights under the Loan Documents such that it becomes the owner of the Premises, including but not limited to an entry by Agent pursuant to any Mortgage, a foreclosure under any Mortgage, a power of sale under any Mortgage or otherwise: (a) the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between Agent and Tenant, and subject to all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease, and (b) Agent shall not disturb Tenant’s right of quiet possession of the Premises under the terms of the Lease so long as Tenant is not in default beyond any applicable grace period of any term, covenant or condition of the Lease.

3. Tenant agrees that, in the event of an exercise of the power of sale or foreclosure of any Mortgage by Agent or the acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure by Agent or any other succession of Agent to ownership of the Premises, Tenant will attorn to and recognize Agent as its landlord under the Lease for the remainder of the term of the Lease (including all extension periods which have been or are hereafter exercised) upon the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Lease, and Tenant hereby agrees to pay and perform all of the obligations of Tenant pursuant to the Lease.

4. Tenant agrees that, in the event Agent succeeds to the interest of Landlord under the Lease, neither Agent nor Lenders shall be:

(a) liable in any way for any act, omission, neglect or default of any prior Landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting Landlord), except to the extent such act, omission, neglect or default accrues from and after Agent succeeds to the interest of Landlord; or

(b) subject to any claim, defense, counterclaim or offsets which Tenant may have against any prior Landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting Landlord), except to the extent such claim, defense, counterclaim or offset accrues from and after the date that Agent succeeds to the interest of Landlord under the Lease; or

(c) bound by any payment of rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid for more than one month in advance of the due date under the Lease to any prior Landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting Landlord), except to the extent received by Agent or required under the Lease to be so paid in Advance; or

(d) bound by any obligation to make any payment to Tenant which was required to be made prior to the time Agent succeeded to any prior Landlord’s interest, except for any work allowance, work credit or any other similar payments to be made to Tenant under the Lease; or

(e) accountable for any monies deposited with any prior Landlord (including security deposits), except to the extent such monies are actually received by Agent; or

(f) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease made without the written consent of Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Subject to paragraph 2 above, nothing contained herein shall prevent Agent from naming Tenant in any foreclosure or other action or proceeding initiated in order for Agent to avail itself of and complete any such foreclosure or other remedy if such joinder shall be required by law.

5. Tenant hereby agrees to give to Agent copies of all notices of Landlord default(s) under the Lease in the same manner as, and whenever, Tenant shall give any such notice of default to Landlord and no such notice of default shall be deemed given to Landlord unless and until a copy of such notice shall have been so delivered to Agent. Agent shall have the right but no obligation to remedy any Landlord default under the Lease, or to cause any default of Landlord under the Lease to be remedied, and for such purpose Tenant hereby grants Agent, in addition to the period given to Landlord for remedying defaults, an additional twenty (20) days in the case of a monetary default and an additional sixty (60) days in the case of a non-monetary default to remedy, or cause to be remedied, any such default. Tenant shall accept performance by Agent of any term, covenant, condition or agreement to be performed by Landlord under the Lease with the same force and effect as though performed by Landlord. No Landlord default under the Lease shall exist or shall be deemed to exist (i) as long as Agent, in good faith, shall have commenced to cure such default and shall be prosecuting the same to completion with reasonable diligence, within the above-referenced time period subject to any force majeure that exists at or during Agent’s cure periods, or (ii) if possession of the Premises is required in order to cure such default, or if such default is not susceptible of being cured by Agent, as long as Agent, in good faith, shall have notified Tenant within ten (10) business days of receiving Tenant’s notice to Agent of Landlord’s default that Agent intends to institute proceedings under the Loan Documents, and, thereafter, as long as such proceedings shall have been promptly instituted and shall be prosecuted with all reasonable diligence. In the event of the termination of the Lease by reason of any bankruptcy by Landlord, upon Agent’s written request, given within thirty (30) days after

any such termination, Tenant, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such request, shall execute and deliver to Agent or its designee or nominee a new lease of the Premises for the remainder of the term of the Lease upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease. Neither Agent nor its designee or nominee shall become liable under the Lease unless and until Agent or its designee or nominee becomes, and then only with respect to periods in which Agent or its designee or nominee remains, the owner of the Premises. In no event shall Agent or Lenders have any personal liability as successor to Landlord and Tenant shall look only to the estate and property of Agent or Lenders in the Premises and the proceeds of any sale of the Premises or any part thereof for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies for the collection of a judgment (or other judicial process) requiring the payment of money in the event of any default by Agent as Landlord under the Lease, and no other property or assets of Agent or Lenders shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies under or with respect to the Lease. Agent shall, subject to the last grammatical paragraph of paragraph 4 hereof, have the right, without Tenant’s consent, to foreclose the Mortgages or to accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure or to exercise any other remedies under the Loan Documents.

6. Tenant agrees that, following delivery of written notice from Agent to Tenant designating an account into which all payments of rent are thereafter to be made (which notice shall include appropriate wire and mailing instructions), Tenant shall thereafter make all payments of rent due under the Lease (including, without limitation, base rent, amounts due for operating expenses and real estate taxes and, where applicable, rent due as a percentage of sales receipts) and all other charges and sums payable by Tenant under the Lease in accordance with such notice, unless and until Tenant receives written instructions from Agent to do otherwise. Agent shall apply such rents and other payments it receives in accordance with the Loan Documents and, upon the repayment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Loan Documents, shall instruct Tenant to make future payments of rent as directed by Landlord. Any payments due under the Lease which are made by Tenant to Agent hereunder shall be deemed to satisfy Tenant’s obligations to Landlord under the Lease. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this paragraph 6 and the terms and provisions of the Lease, the provisions of this paragraph 6 shall govern and control.

7. Tenant has no knowledge of any prior assignment or pledge of the rents accruing under the Lease by Landlord. Tenant hereby acknowledges the making of the Assignments from Landlord to Agent in connection with the Loans. Tenant acknowledges that the interest of the Landlord under the Lease is to be assigned to Agent solely as security for the purposes specified in the Assignments, and Agent shall have no duty, liability or obligation whatsoever under the Lease or any extension or renewal thereof, either by virtue of the Assignments or by any subsequent receipt or collection of rents thereunder, unless Agent shall specifically undertake such liability in writing.

8. If Tenant is a corporation, each individual executing this Agreement on behalf of said corporation represents and warrants that s/he is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement on behalf of said corporation, in accordance with a duly adopted resolution of the Board of Directors of said corporation

or in accordance with the by-laws of said corporation, and that this Agreement is binding upon said corporation in accordance with its terms.

9. Any notice, election, communication, request or other document or demand required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered on the earlier to occur of (a) receipt or (b) the date of delivery, refusal or nondelivery indicated on the return receipt, if deposited in a United States Postal Service Depository, postage prepaid, sent certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or if sent via recognized commercial courier service providing for a receipt, addressed to Tenant or Agent, as the case may be, at the following addresses:

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned (“Architect”) understands that GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as agent (including any successor thereto, “Agent”) for itself and any other co-lenders as may exist from time to time (collectively, “Lenders”) has made or will make loans (the “Loans”) to The New York Times Building LLC (“Borrower”), which Loans will be used to finance construction by Borrower of the improvements (the “Improvements”) on and adjacent to the premises more particularly described in Exhibit A hereto (the “Land”; and together with the Improvements, the “Project”). The Loans will be advanced pursuant to that certain Building Loan Agreement dated as of June , 2004 (the “Building Loan Agreement”) by and between Borrower, New York State Development Corporation d/b/a Empire State Corporation, as initial agent (“Initial Agent”) for itself and for the benefit of Lenders, and Agent, for itself and on behalf of Lenders, and that certain Project Loan Agreement dated as of June , 2004 (the “Project Loan Agreement”; collectively with the Building Loan Agreement, the “Loan Agreements”) by and between Borrower, Initial Agent, for itself and for the benefit of Lenders, and Agent, for itself and on behalf of Lenders.

5. All work observed to date has been done generally in accordance with the Construction Documents.

6.

7.

8. The Architects have no knowledge of any petitions, actions or proceedings pending or threatened to revoke, rescind, alter or declare invalid any legal requirements, permits, licenses or approvals of any governmental authorities for or relating to the Project.

9. The DUO Declaration permits, as of right, the construction of the Project in accordance with the Construction Documents and, upon completion of construction, the operation, use and occupancy thereof contemplated by the Construction Documents.

10.

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned (“General Contractor”) understands that GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as agent (“Agent”) for itself and any other co-lenders as may exist from time to time (collectively, “Lenders”) has made or will make loans (the “Loans”) to The New York Times Building LLC (“Borrower”), which Loans will be used to finance construction by Borrower of the improvements (the “Improvements”) on and adjacent to the premises more particularly described in Exhibit A hereto (the “Land”; and together with the Improvements, the “Project”). The Loans will be advanced pursuant to that certain Building Loan Agreement dated as of June , 2004 (the “Building Loan Agreement”) by and between Borrower, New York State Development Corporation d/b/a Empire State Corporation as initial agent (“Initial Agent”), for itself and for the benefit of Lenders, and Agent, for itself and on behalf of Lenders, and that certain Project Loan Agreement dated as of June , 2004 (the “Project Loan Agreement”; collectively with the Building Loan Agreement, the “Loan Agreements”) by and between Borrower, Initial Agent, for itself and for the benefit of Lenders, and Agent, for itself and on behalf of Lenders. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Guaranteed Maximum Price Contract defined below.

General Contractor certifies to Agent and Lenders as follows:

1. General Contractor has been engaged to act as the construction manager for the Project and such engagement is evidenced by that certain Construction Management Agreement between Borrower and General Contractor dated as of January 22, 2004 (the “Guaranteed Maximum Price Contract”). Except for Change

The Guaranteed Maximum Price Contract constitutes the only agreement (other than Scope Changes) between General Contractor and Borrower with respect to the matters and interests described therein.

2. General Contractor has reviewed the Drawings and Specifications prepared for the Project and specified in the Guaranteed Maximum Price Contract. There have been no Scope Changes since the date of the last General Contractor’s Certificate dated , 200 , except as set forth in the Potential Change Order Log attached as Schedule 1 hereto.

3. The Application and Certificate of Payment (AIA Document No. G702), dated , 200 (the “Current Application for Payment”) which General Contractor understands is to be included as an item in Borrower’s requisition to Agent, is in full compliance with the terms of the Guaranteed Maximum Price Contract.

4. Schedule 2 hereto is a list of each Major Subcontractor (as defined in Exhibit B).

5. The Work performed to date has been performed in accordance with the Guaranteed Maximum Price Contract and the other Contract Documents in effect on the date hereof. To the best of General Contractor’s knowledge, except as set forth in paragraph 2 above, no event has occurred and there are no conditions (including without limitation, any concealed conditions, design defects or deficiencies), or changes in the Construction Documents that would entitle General Contractor to an increase in the GMP, other than (a) as set forth on Schedule 1 hereto and (b) increases that General Contractor is not yet obligated to make a claim for as of the date hereof in accordance with the terms of the Guaranteed Maximum Price Contract. As of the date hereof, the Guaranteed Maximum Price is set forth in the Current Application for Payment.

6. As of the date hereof, the required dates under the Guaranteed Maximum Price Contract for Substantial Completion and Final Completion for each portion of the Project are set forth in the most recent schedule attached as Schedule 3 hereto. The General Contractor does not know of any facts or circumstances which would entitle General Contractor to an extension of any such dates; and General Contractor has not made any claim for any such extension, other than (a) as set forth on Schedule 1 hereto and (b) claims that General Contractor is not yet obligated to make as of the date hereof in accordance with the terms of the Guaranteed Maximum Price Contract.

7. Except as shown on Schedule 4, all Governmental Approvals (as defined in Exhibit B) required to have been obtained by General Contractor, and, to the best of General Contractor’s knowledge, all other Governmental Approvals from the City of New York, including its Department of Transportation, required to have been obtained by Borrower, with respect to the construction of the Project have been issued, are in full

force and effect and are not subject to any legal proceedings or unsatisfied conditions. With respect to any such Governmental Approvals not yet required to be obtained, (i) each such Governmental Approval is of a type that is routinely granted upon application therefor and (ii) General Contractor knows of no facts or circumstances which indicate that any such Governmental Approval will not be timely obtainable without material difficulty, expense or delay prior to the time that it is required.

8. All insurance required from the General Contractor (if any) under the Guaranteed Maximum Price Contract (i) has been obtained and (ii) is in full force and effect.

9. Except for funds remaining in the Trust Account established pursuant to Article 18.6.1 of the Guaranteed Maximum Price Contract, General Contractor has paid to its direct subcontractors and suppliers in full all of its obligations with respect to all labor and/or materials and rented equipment, appliances or tools related to the construction of the Project supplied through and including the period covered by the Application and Certificate of Payment (AIA Document No. G702) included in Borrower’s second most recent requisition (the “Prior Application for Payment”) and all such subcontractors have paid their direct subcontractors and suppliers in full for and with respect to all labor and/or materials and rented equipment, appliances or tools related to the construction of the Project supplied through and including the period covered by the Prior Application for Payment properly due to subcontractors and suppliers in accordance with the Guaranteed Maximum Price Contract.

There are no unbonded liens in favor of General Contractor and/or any subcontractor hired by General Contractor who has performed work, for the work so performed, and/or who has supplied labor, goods and/or materials, for the labor, goods and/or materials so supplied, except for such work or labor, goods and/or materials for which payment is requested.

11. The Guaranteed Maximum Price Contract is in full force and effect. Neither General Contractor nor Borrower is in default of any of its respective obligations to the other as of the date hereof. There is no existing circumstance or event which, but for the lapse of time and/or the giving of notice, would constitute a default by either General Contractor or Borrower or would give either such party the right to terminate the Guaranteed Maximum Price Contract. General Contractor has not sent or received any notice of default or any notice for the purpose of terminating the Guaranteed Maximum Price Contract.

12. There are no changes in the condition of the General Contractor which would be likely to materially adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under the Guaranteed Maximum Price Contract.

13. The Project has not been suspended, abandoned or terminated.

14. All Work performed to date has been performed only by subcontractors (not including suppliers) subject to collective bargaining agreements with

unions affiliated with the Building and Construction Trades Council of Greater New York.

15. General Contractor is in compliance with all of its obligations under Section 2.4 of the Guaranteed Maximum Price Contract.

16. The provisions set forth in this Certificate shall be binding upon General Contractor and General Contractor’s successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Agent and Lenders and their successors and assigns.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Description of Accounts		Account Numbers

Account Name: The New York Times Building LLC Security Deposit Account — GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as agent and secured party Account Type:

Account Name: FC Lion LLC Security Deposit Account — GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as agent and secured party Account Type:

The accounts identified above shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Security Deposit Accounts”. No Pledgor shall cancel or cause any of the Security Deposit Accounts to be canceled, nor shall any Pledgor establish any other account with Bank or any other bank, mutual fund, investment banking firm or similar institution into which any Rents (other than security deposits) shall be deposited.

(b) (i) Each Pledgor shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the applicable Security Deposit Account, all security deposits received by such Pledgor (or any leasing or managing agent) under or in respect of any Lease within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof. All such deposits shall be made in the lawful currency of the United States of America. If any such security deposit is in the form of a letter of credit, such letter of credit (or any replacement thereof) must be delivered to Bank within the same time period, must be an irrevocable, standby letter of credit in form and content and from an institution reasonably acceptable to Agent and must be payable to Agent, provided that any such letter of credit may be payable to the applicable Pledgor if such letter of credit is also freely assignable to Agent and is actually assigned to Agent prior to or simultaneously with its delivery to Bank. To the extent required by the applicable Lease, each applicable Pledgor shall require each applicable Tenant to maintain in effect any such letter of credit (or any replacement thereof) during the term of the applicable Lease or replace such letter of credit with a cash deposit. If any such letter of credit is not so maintained or replaced within fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration thereof, Agent shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies available to Agent, to require Bank to draw upon such letter of credit. Upon receipt, Bank shall send copies of such letters of credit to Agent.

(ii) In the absence of instructions from a Pledgor as to which account any amounts shall be deposited to, Bank shall notify the Pledgors and request such instructions, and in the meantime, Bank may refuse to accept delivery of such amounts until such instructions are received from such payor or Pledgor.

Each of the Pledgors hereby grants to Agent a power of attorney to sign and deliver the foregoing notices, which power of attorney shall be deemed coupled with an interest and irrevocable until the Indebtedness has been paid in full, and each Pledgor directs all applicable Tenants (and any successor to the interest of any such Tenant) under the applicable Leases to follow any such instructions given by Agent, notwithstanding any contrary instructions from any Pledgor and without any obligation or right on the Tenant’s part to determine the actual existence of an Event of Default or other event claimed by Agent as the basis for Agent’s right to send such notice.

(d) No modifications or revocations of any notice given by any Pledgor pursuant to clause (c) above are permitted without Agent’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon Agent’s request from time to time, each Pledgor will certify in writing that it has sent a notice to all applicable Tenants or otherwise demonstrate to Agent’s satisfaction that notices have been issued to all applicable Tenants.

(e) Upon Agent’s request from time to time, each Pledgor shall provide a written statement to Agent itemizing the amounts deposited in its Security Deposit Account for the period covered by Agent’s request and such supporting documentation as Agent reasonably may require.

(f) Each of the Pledgors represents and warrants that (i) this Agreement creates a valid, first priority security interest in all of its rights in the Collateral (as defined below), (ii) as of the date hereof, except for the security interest created by this Agreement, the Security Deposit Accounts are free from any Lien, or other right, title and interest of any other person or party and (iii) the exact legal name and state of formation of each Pledgor are as set forth on page one hereof. Except as permitted hereunder, no Pledgor shall sell, transfer, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Collateral, or create or permit to exist any Lien upon the Collateral.

(g) The Security Deposit Accounts shall not be evidenced by a certificate of deposit, passbook or other instrument.

(h) Account balances shall accrue interest at a savings account rate (or a money market rate, but only to the extent that the Security Deposit Accounts can remain “deposit accounts” (as defined in the UCC) notwithstanding the giving of a money market rate) for accounts denominated in U.S. dollars and interest shall be credited by Bank to the applicable Security Deposit Account not later than the fifth (5th) Business Day of the month immediately following the month for which accrued interest is being credited. Interest accruing on each of the Security Deposit Accounts shall be periodically added to the principal amount of the corresponding Security Deposit Account.

(i) Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that neither it, nor any other party claiming on behalf of, or through, it, shall have any right, title or interest, whether express or implied, in the Security Deposit Accounts, or to withdraw or make use of any amounts from any Security Deposit Account except to the extent expressly permitted by Section 5 hereof.

(a) To secure the full payment of the Indebtedness and the performance of the Obligations, each Pledgor hereby sells, conveys, assigns, transfers and grants a first priority continuing security interest in, pledges and sets over unto Agent, for Agent’s own benefit and the benefit of Lenders, all of its right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, in and to each Security Deposit Account, all interest, dividends, credits and proceeds relating thereto, all monies, checks and other similar instruments held or deposited therein and all of Borrower’s rights under any letters of credit, including all rights to proceeds of any letters of credit (collectively, the “Collateral”):

by Agent. As between Pledgors and Agent, Agent agrees to give a Notice of Exclusive Control only if a Noticed Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(b) Bank agrees that all cash and other property held in the Security Deposit Accounts shall be segregated from all other cash and property held by Bank and shall be identified as being held in trust pursuant to this Agreement. Segregation will be accomplished by appropriate identification of the cash or other property held in trust on the books and records of Bank. Bank agrees not to commingle the amounts held in, or designated for deposit in, the Security Deposit Accounts with any other amounts held on behalf of Agent, Pledgors or any other party. Agent agrees that Bank may commingle security deposits received with respect to different Tenants in a single account provided that Bank is able to separately track interest accruing to each Tenant.

signature or electronic signature of an Authorized Representative which resembles the specimen signature for such Authorized Representative on file with Bank; and (ii) in the case of electronically transmitted instructions, the person providing the instruction uses a security code or other authentication procedure provided by Bank for such Pledgor’s use. Unless an expiration date is expressly stated in the Certificate of Authority, all authorizations shall continue in full force and effect until canceled or superseded by a subsequent Certificate of Authority received by Bank with reasonable opportunity to act thereon.

(a) The parties agree that items deposited in the Security Deposit Accounts shall be deemed to bear the valid and legally binding endorsement of the payee and to comply with all of Bank’s requirements for the supplying of missing endorsements, now or hereafter in effect. As between Pledgors and Agent, any deposit made by or on behalf of any Pledgor into the applicable Security Deposit Account shall be deemed deposited into such Security Deposit Account when the funds in respect of such deposit shall become collected funds.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each of the Pledgors acknowledges that it is responsible for monitoring the sufficiency of funds deposited its respective Security Deposit Account and that each is liable for any deficiency in available funds necessary to cover disbursements and fees to Bank, irrespective of whether it has received any account statement, notice or demand from Agent or Bank. If on any day there are insufficient amounts in the applicable Security Deposit Account necessary to cover disbursements and fees to Bank, the applicable Pledgor shall immediately deposit into the applicable Security Deposit Account, without the need for any notice or demand from Agent or Bank, the amount of such deficiency in immediately available funds.

(c) Availability of cash credited to the applicable Security Deposit Account shall be subject to checks, drafts or other demand instruments having cleared deposit. If withdrawal instructions for wire transfers are received (i) at or before 2:00 p.m. eastern time on a Business Day, payment of the amount withdrawn shall be made to or for the benefit of the applicable Pledgor by wire transfer on the same Business Day, or (ii) after 2:00 p.m. eastern time on a Business Day, payment of the amount withdrawn shall be made to or for the benefit of the applicable Pledgor by wire transfer on the next Business Day.

(a) At all times after Bank’s receipt of a Notice of Exclusive Control, and until Bank has received notice from Agent that such Notice of Exclusive Control has been rescinded, Bank shall solely follow the written instructions of Agent as to the Collateral, including amounts from time to time on deposit in the Security Deposit Accounts, without further consent of any of the Pledgors, and Agent shall be irrevocably entitled to exercise any and all rights and remedies in respect of or in connection with the Collateral provided to Agent under the Loan Agreements or any other Security Document or otherwise available in equity or under applicable law, without further consent or instructions from any of the Pledgors. Each of the Pledgors agrees that Bank may act as the agent of Agent in exercising, as to any funds or other property from time to time consisting of Collateral, any rights of set-off provided by the Loan Agreements or any other Loan Document or otherwise available in equity or under applicable law, without further consent or instructions from any Pledgor.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may, without notice of any kind, except for notices required by law which may not be waived (in addition to any other rights or remedies under this Agreement, at law or in equity or otherwise, but subject to the provisions of applicable law) retain for its own account or otherwise sell or dispose of all or any portion of the Collateral in one or more public or private sales, and, in each case, apply such proceeds in accordance with the Loan Documents. In addition to the rights, powers and remedies granted to it under this Agreement and in any other Loan Document, Agent shall have all the rights, powers and remedies available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code. To the extent permitted by law, each of the Pledgors waives presentment, demand, protest and all notices of any kind and all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Agent or any Lender arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder, except for claims, damages or demands arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or any Lender.

(c) Effective during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Agent and any officer or agent of Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of each Pledgor and in the name of each Pledgor or in Agent’s own name, from time to time in Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any financing statements, endorsements, assignments or other instruments of transfer.

(b) Each Pledgor acknowledges its duty to promptly examine each periodic statement issued to it by Bank and to use reasonable care to discover any errors or unauthorized transactions charged to, or affecting, the Security Deposit Accounts. Should such Pledgor fail to send written objections or exceptions to Bank with respect to a periodic statement within sixty (60) days of the date such statement is issued, such Pledgor shall be deemed to have approved such statement, and, as against such Pledgor, such statement shall be presumed to be correct for all purposes with respect to all information set forth therein. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit, in any respect, Bank’s right to correct any error it discovers with respect to the Security Deposit Accounts or to withdraw from the Security Deposit Accounts cash or other property deposited therein by Bank in error.

(a) Bank shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any written notice, certificate or other document or communication (including, without limitation, facsimiles thereof) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, presented or delivered by the proper party or parties, and Bank may rely on statements contained therein without further inquiry or investigation. Bank shall have no obligation to review or confirm that actions it is requested to take pursuant to any such notice comply with any agreement or document other than this Agreement.

(b) Bank shall be entitled to rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting, without independent investigation or any further consent or instructions from any Pledgor, upon any written notice received from Agent to the effect that an Event of Default has occurred or has ceased to exist or that any action requested by Agent to disburse funds from the Security Deposit Accounts or other Collateral or exercise Agent’s set-off rights against the Collateral is permitted under the Loan Agreements, any other Loan Document and/or in equity or under applicable law.

Agreement against Bank. Without limiting the foregoing: Bank shall have no investment responsibility with respect to the cash or other property held in the Collateral except as specifically set forth herein; shall not be accountable for the use or application by any Pledgor or any other identified party of any money paid over by Bank in accordance with this Agreement; and shall have no responsibility for taking any steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any property held hereunder.

(d) Bank shall have no liability for any loss occasioned by delay in the actual receipt of notice or other instructions to Bank of any payment, disbursement or any other transaction regarding the Collateral, nor shall Bank be liable for any claims, losses, damages, expenses or other liabilities, other than to the extent the same may be caused by the gross negligence or willful or intentional misconduct of Bank. Under no circumstance whatsoever will Bank be liable for any lost profits or for any incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages whether or not Bank knew of the possibility or likelihood of such damages and regardless of the form of action in which any such loss or damage may be claimed. Bank’s substantial compliance with its standard procedures for provision of the services required under this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute its exercise of reasonable care.

(e) If any Pledgor becomes subject to a voluntary or involuntary proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code, or if Bank is otherwise served with legal process which Bank in good faith believes affects the Collateral, or if at any time Bank receives conflicting instructions with respect to any action it is requested to take under this Agreement, Bank shall have the right to place a hold on the Collateral until such time as Bank receives an appropriate court order or other assurances satisfactory to Bank establishing that the Collateral continue to be disbursed according to the instructions contained in this Agreement.

Payment Instruction Notice

Tenant Name:

Lease Agreement (“Lease”):

Leased Premises:

Please take notice that your landlord under the above-referenced Lease has selected (“Bank”) as the financial depository which will hold all security deposits under your Lease and to which such security deposits are to be sent.

You are hereby directed and instructed to send all security deposit payments due to your landlord under your Lease in accordance with the instructions set forth in this letter, notwithstanding any provision of your Lease to the contrary.

All security deposits (other than letters of credit) should be made payable to the account specified below:

Account Name: [The New York Times Building LLC] [FC Lion LLC] Security Deposit Account - GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as agent and secured party

Account Number: #

Bank has agreed to accept your payments by any of the following means, to the extent permitted by the Lease:

• U.S. Dollar denomination checks mailed to Bank

• U.S. Dollar denomination wire transfers to the landlord’s designated Bank account

• Automated Clearing House (ACH) credits to the landlord’s designated account at Bank

• Letters of Credit

If you elect to make payments by check, Bank will collect upon your check by using a check truncation process. This means that Bank will convert your paper check into an electronic debit which will be presented for payment at your bank the next business day. Your physical check will not be presented to your bank nor returned to you by your bank with your bank account statement. Your bank statement, however, will reflect the check number and the amount electronically presented by Bank to your bank, thereby indicating that the check has been presented and paid.

These payment instructions have been implemented as part of a credit facility provided to your landlord by GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation (“GMACCM”). You are to continue making all payments in accordance with these instructions until you receive further written instructions signed by landlord and GMACCM (or its successor as agent).

Neither GMACCM nor Bank have assumed any obligations of your landlord under the Lease. Therefore, you should continue to send all communications regarding the Lease or landlord issues in the manner specified in your lease and not to GMACCM or Bank. Any notices which you send to GMACCM or Bank and not to the parties specified in your lease will not be effective notice to your landlord under the Lease.

Very truly yours,

THIS COLLECTION ACCOUNTS AND SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of , 200 (this “Agreement”), among [ ], a having an address at (“Bank”), THE NEW YORK TIMES BUILDING LLC, a New York limited liability company (“Borrower”) and FC LION LLC, a New York limited liability company (“FC Member”), each having an address at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (Borrower and FC Member collectively, the (“Pledgors”) and GMAC COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE CORPORATION, a California corporation and any successors thereto, as agent (including as successor to Initial Agent (as hereinafter defined)) (including any of its successors and assigns as agent, “Agent”) for itself and any other co-lenders as may exist from time to time (such lenders collectively, including any successors and assigns, “Lenders” and each individually, a “Lender”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, one of the conditions precedent to the obligations of the Lenders under the Loan Agreements is that the Pledgors provide for the payment of Rents into one or more accounts established by Pledgors with Bank which account(s) will be maintained for the benefit of Agent and Lenders.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Description of Accounts		Account Numbers

Account Name: The New York Times Building LLC Collection Account — GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as agent and secured party Account Type:

Account Name: FC Lion LLC Collection Account — GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as agent and secured party Account Type:

The accounts identified above shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Collection Accounts”. No Pledgor shall cancel or cause any of the Collection Accounts to be canceled, nor shall any Pledgor establish any other account with Bank or any other bank, mutual fund, investment banking firm or similar institution into which any Rents (other than security deposits) shall be deposited.

(b) Each Pledgor shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the applicable Collection Account, all Rents (other than security deposits) paid to or for the benefit of such Pledgor. Such Rents shall be made in the lawful currency of the United States of America, and shall be payable to the applicable Collection Account and shall be delivered directly by the payor to Bank. If either of the Pledgors (or any leasing or managing agent) shall receive any Rents (other than a security deposit), that is not payable in the foregoing manner, such Pledgor(s) shall (and shall cause leasing and managing Agent to) deposit such Rents into the applicable Collection Account by the close of business on the second Business Day following the day on which the same is received by such Pledgor (or leasing or managing agent). In the absence of instructions from the payor or a Pledgor as to which account any amounts shall be deposited to, Bank shall notify the Pledgors and request such instructions, and in the meantime, Bank may refuse to accept delivery of such amounts until such instructions are received from such payor or Pledgor.

(c) The applicable Pledgor shall provide the notice set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto to each party to a Lease as each Lease is executed (or, if such Lease has previously been executed, then immediately). The applicable Pledgor shall obtain the acknowledgment of its Tenants to such notice. If the applicable Pledgor fails to provide any such notice or obtain such acknowledgement, or if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent shall have the right (and without prejudice to Agent’s rights with respect to such failures or Event of Default ) to direct such parties to remit all Rents, other than security deposits, directly into the applicable Collection Account by issuing a notice as Agent deems appropriate. Each of the Pledgors hereby grants to Agent a power of attorney to sign and deliver the foregoing notices, which power of attorney shall be deemed coupled with an interest and irrevocable until the Indebtedness has been paid in full, and each Pledgor directs all applicable Tenants (and any successor to the interest of any such Tenant) under the applicable Leases to follow any such instructions given by Agent, notwithstanding any contrary instructions from any Pledgor and without any obligation or right on the Tenant’s part to determine the actual existence

of an Event of Default or other event claimed by Agent as the basis for Agent’s right to send such notice.

(e) Upon Agent’s request from time to time, each Pledgor shall provide a written statement to Agent itemizing the amounts deposited in its Collection Account for the period covered by Agent’s request and such supporting documentation as Agent reasonably may require.

(f) Each of the Pledgors represents and warrants that (i) this Agreement creates a valid, first priority security interest in all of its rights in the Collateral (as defined below), (ii) as of the date hereof, except for the security interest created by this Agreement, the Collection Accounts are free from any Lien, or other right, title and interest of any other person or party and (iii) the exact legal name and state of formation of each Pledgor are as set forth on page one hereof. Except as permitted hereunder, no Pledgor shall sell, transfer, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Collateral, or create or permit to exist any Lien upon the Collateral.

(g) The Collection Accounts shall not be evidenced by a certificate of deposit, passbook or other instrument.

(h) Account balances shall accrue interest at a savings account rate (or a money market rate, but only to the extent that the Collection Accounts can remain “deposit accounts” (as defined in the UCC) notwithstanding the giving of a money market rate) for accounts denominated in U.S. dollars and interest shall be credited by Bank to the applicable Collection Account not later than the fifth (5th) Business Day of the month immediately following the month for which accrued interest is being credited. Interest accruing on each of the Collection Accounts shall be periodically added to the principal amount of the corresponding Collection Account.

(i) Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that neither it, nor any other party claiming on behalf of, or through, it, shall have any right, title or interest, whether express or implied, in the Collection Accounts, or to withdraw or make use of any amounts from any Collection Account except to the extent expressly permitted by Section 5 hereof.

2. Pledge of the Collateral.

Agent, for Agent’s own benefit and the benefit of Lenders, all of its right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, in and to each Collection Account and all interest, dividends, credits and proceeds relating thereto and all monies, checks and other similar instruments held or deposited therein (collectively, the “Collateral”):

(b) Bank acknowledges that this Agreement constitutes notice of Agent’s security interest in the Collateral and hereby acknowledges and consents thereto.

3. Control of the Collateral. If Agent delivers to Bank a Notice of Exclusive Control (as hereinafter defined) and until such time as such Notice of Exclusive Control is rescinded in writing by Agent, Bank will comply with any directions originated by Agent concerning the Collection Accounts and the other Collateral without further consent by any Pledgor. Agent may exercise any rights and powers under or in connection with this Agreement and the Collateral without further consent of any of the Pledgors. Subject to the foregoing, Bank shall also comply with entitlement orders or other directions concerning the Collection Accounts and the other Collateral originated by any of the Pledgors or their Authorized Representatives (as defined in Section 5(b) below), until such time as Agent delivers a written notice to Bank (with copies to Pledgors) that Agent is thereby exercising exclusive control over the Collection Accounts and the other Collateral. Such notice is referred to herein as the “Notice of Exclusive Control”. After Bank receives a Notice of Exclusive Control (and so long as such Notice of Exclusive Control has not been rescinded in writing by Agent), it will cease complying with entitlement orders or other directions concerning the Collection Accounts and the other Collateral originated by any Pledgor or any of its Authorized Representatives and will comply solely with entitlement orders or other directions concerning the Collection Accounts and the other Collateral originated by Agent. As between Pledgors and Agent, Agent agrees to give a Notice of Exclusive Control only if a Noticed Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

4. Agency. (a) Agent hereby appoints Bank as Agent’s agent, bailee and pledgee and pledgee-in-possession for the Collateral, and Bank, by its execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Each of the Pledgors hereby agrees to such appointment of Bank.

(b) Bank agrees that all cash and other property held in the Collection Accounts shall be segregated from all other cash and property held by Bank and shall be identified as being held in trust pursuant to this Agreement. Segregation will be accomplished by appropriate identification of the cash or other property held in trust

on the books and records of Bank. Bank agrees not to commingle the amounts held in, or designated for deposit in, the Collection Accounts with any other amounts held on behalf of Agent, Pledgors or any other party.

(b) Each Pledgor agrees to designate a limited number of persons who have authority to issue or deliver withdrawal, transfer or disbursement instructions to Bank (each such person, an “Authorized Representative”). The initial list of Authorized Representatives for each Pledgor and samples of their respective genuine signatures is attached hereto as Exhibit B (“Certificate of Authority”). Each of the Pledgors may, from time to time, amend its then current list of Authorized Representatives by sending an amendment to, or replacement of, the Certificate of Authority, in each case to be substantially in the form of Exhibit B and signed by a Secretary, Assistant Secretary or other duly authorized officer of the applicable Pledgor. Bank will be authorized to rely and act upon all instructions given or purported to be given by an Authorized Representative of a Pledgor, provided that (i) in the case of written instructions, such written instructions bear the original signature, facsimile signature or electronic signature of an Authorized Representative which resembles the specimen signature for such Authorized Representative on file with Bank; and (ii) in the case of electronically transmitted instructions, the person providing the instruction uses a security code or other authentication procedure provided by Bank for such Pledgor’s use. Unless an expiration date is expressly stated in the Certificate of Authority, all authorizations shall continue in full force and effect until canceled or superseded by a subsequent Certificate of Authority received by Bank with reasonable opportunity to act thereon.

(a) The parties agree that items deposited in the Collection Accounts shall be deemed to bear the valid and legally binding endorsement of the payee and to comply with all of Bank’s requirements for the supplying of missing endorsements, now or hereafter in effect. As between Pledgors and Agent, any deposit made by or on behalf of any Pledgor into the applicable Collection Account shall be deemed deposited into such Collection Account when the funds in respect of such deposit shall become collected funds.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each of the Pledgors acknowledges that it is responsible for monitoring the sufficiency of funds deposited its respective Collection Account and that each is liable for any deficiency in available funds necessary to cover disbursements and fees to Bank, irrespective of whether it has received any account statement, notice or demand from Agent or Bank. If on any day there are insufficient amounts in the applicable Collection Account necessary to cover disbursements and fees to Bank, the applicable Pledgor shall immediately deposit into the applicable Collection Account, without the need for any notice or demand from Agent or Bank, the amount of such deficiency in immediately available funds.

(c) Availability of cash credited to the applicable Collection Account shall be subject to checks, drafts or other demand instruments having cleared deposit. If withdrawal instructions for wire transfers are received (i) at or before 2:00 p.m. eastern time on a Business Day, payment of the amount withdrawn shall be made to or for the benefit of the applicable Pledgor by wire transfer on the same Business Day, or (ii) after 2:00 p.m. eastern time on a Business Day, payment of the amount withdrawn shall be made to or for the benefit of the applicable Pledgor by wire transfer on the next Business Day.

(a) At all times after Bank’s receipt of a Notice of Exclusive Control, and until Bank has received notice from Agent that such Notice of Exclusive

Control has been rescinded, Bank shall solely follow the written instructions of Agent as to the Collateral, including amounts from time to time on deposit in the Collection Accounts, without further consent of any of the Pledgors, and Agent shall be irrevocably entitled to exercise any and all rights and remedies in respect of or in connection with the Collateral provided to Agent under the Loan Agreements or any other Security Document or otherwise available in equity or under applicable law, without further consent or instructions from any of the Pledgors. Each of the Pledgors agrees that Bank may act as the agent of Agent in exercising, as to any funds or other property from time to time consisting of Collateral, any rights of set-off provided by the Loan Agreements or any other Loan Document or otherwise available in equity or under applicable law, without further consent or instructions from any Pledgor.

(b) Each Pledgor acknowledges its duty to promptly examine each periodic statement issued to it by Bank and to use reasonable care to discover any

errors or unauthorized transactions charged to, or affecting, the Collection Accounts. Should such Pledgor fail to send written objections or exceptions to Bank with respect to a periodic statement within sixty (60) days of the date such statement is issued, such Pledgor shall be deemed to have approved such statement, and, as against such Pledgor, such statement shall be presumed to be correct for all purposes with respect to all information set forth therein. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit, in any respect, Bank’s right to correct any error it discovers with respect to the Collection Accounts or to withdraw from the Collection Accounts cash or other property deposited therein by Bank in error.

(b) Bank shall be entitled to rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting, without independent investigation or any further consent or instructions from any Pledgor, upon any written notice received from Agent to the effect that an Event of Default has occurred or has ceased to exist or that any action requested by Agent to disburse funds from the Collection Accounts or other Collateral or exercise Agent’s set-off rights against the Collateral is permitted under the Loan Agreements, any other Loan Document and/or in equity or under applicable law.

(c) The duties and obligations of Bank shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, and, except as expressly set forth herein, Bank will not be charged with knowledge of any provisions of the Loan Agreements or any other Loan Documents. Bank shall not be liable except for the performance of its duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, except to the extent any claims, losses, damages, expenses or other liabilities are caused by the gross negligence or willful or intentional misconduct of Bank, and no implied covenants or obligations, except those that may be implied by law, shall be read into this Agreement against Bank. Without limiting the foregoing: Bank shall have no investment responsibility with respect to the cash or other property held in the Collateral except as specifically set forth herein; shall not be accountable for the use or application by any Pledgor or any other identified party of any money paid over by Bank in accordance with this Agreement; and shall have no responsibility for taking any steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any property held hereunder.

(d) Bank shall have no liability for any loss occasioned by delay in the actual receipt of notice or other instructions to Bank of any payment,

disbursement or any other transaction regarding the Collateral, nor shall Bank be liable for any claims, losses, damages, expenses or other liabilities, other than to the extent the same may be caused by the gross negligence or willful or intentional misconduct of Bank. Under no circumstance whatsoever will Bank be liable for any lost profits or for any incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages whether or not Bank knew of the possibility or likelihood of such damages and regardless of the form of action in which any such loss or damage may be claimed. Bank’s substantial compliance with its standard procedures for provision of the services required under this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute its exercise of reasonable care.

(e) If any Pledgor becomes subject to a voluntary or involuntary proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code, or if Bank is otherwise served with legal process which Bank in good faith believes affects the Collateral, or if at any time Bank receives conflicting instructions with respect to any action it is requested to take under this Agreement, Bank shall have the right to place a hold on funds deposited in the Collection Accounts until such time as Bank receives an appropriate court order or other assurances satisfactory to Bank establishing that the funds may continue to be disbursed according to the instructions contained in this Agreement.

including any other account agreement between either Pledgor and Bank. This Agreement is binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including any trustee of either Pledgor appointed or elected in any action under the United States Bankruptcy Code) and shall inure to their benefit. This Agreement may not be changed, amended, modified or waived orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto, provided that such instrument need by signed only by Bank and Agent if it does not change any rights or obligations of Pledgors hereunder. This Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and performed solely within such State, except with regard to payment of checks and other items and other issues relating to the operations of the Collection Accounts or any other account to which funds from the Collection Accounts are transferred, which issues shall be interpreted and enforced according to the laws of the state where the Collection Accounts or such other account are located. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Pledgors may not assign this Agreement without the prior approval of Agent. Agent may assign this Agreement in conformance with Section 11.05 of the Loan Agreements. Bank may assign this Agreement with the prior approval of Agent, and notice thereof shall be given to Pledgors.
