2.1.2 Single Disbursement to Borrower. Borrower will receive only one borrowing hereunder in respect of the Loan and any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may not be reborrowed. Lender is not funding any portion of the Loan from any account holding “plan assets” of one or more plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. 2510.3-101 unless the Loan does not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA.

2.1.3 The Note, Mortgage and Other Loan Documents. The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases and the other Loan Documents.

2.1.4 Use of Proceeds.

Section 2.2 Interest Rate.

2.2.1 Interest Generally. Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall accrue from the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date at the Applicable Interest Rate. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date the interest accrued on the Loan for the preceding Interest Period.

2.2.2 Interest Calculation. Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the Outstanding Principal Balance. If, at any time, Lender or Borrower determines that Lender has miscalculated any Applicable Interest Rate (whether because of a miscalculation of LIBOR or otherwise), such party shall notify the other of the necessary correction. Upon the agreement of the parties as to the correction, if the corrected Applicable Interest Rate represents an increase in the applicable monthly payment, Borrower shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of notice from Lender, pay to Lender the corrected amount. Upon the agreement of the parties as to the correction, if the corrected Applicable Interest Rate represents an overpayment by Borrower to Lender and no Event of Default then exists, Lender shall promptly refund the overpayment to Borrower or, at Borrower’s option, credit such amounts against Borrower’s payment next due hereunder.

2.2.3 Determination of Interest Rate. (a) The Applicable Interest Rate shall be: (i) LIBOR plus the Spread with respect to the applicable Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan or (ii) the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread for a Prime Rate Loan if the Loan is converted to a Prime Rate Loan pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2.3(c) or (f) hereof, subject in both of the foregoing instances to the terms of Section 5.2.11(b)(ii) hereof.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.2.3, the Loan shall be a LIBOR Loan and Borrower shall pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance at LIBOR plus the Spread for the applicable Interest Period. Any change in the Applicable Interest Rate hereunder due to a change in LIBOR shall become effective as of the opening of business on the first day of the applicable Interest Period.

(c) In the event that Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then Lender shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the last day of the related Interest Period. If such notice is given, any related outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted, on the first day of the next occurring Interest Period, to a Prime Rate Loan.

(d) If, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any portion of the Loan has been converted to a Prime Rate Loan and Lender shall determine in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Lender shall give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower

at least one (1) Business Day prior to the last day of the related Interest Period. If such notice is given, each related outstanding Prime Rate Loan shall be converted to a LIBOR Loan on the first day of the next occurring Interest Period.

(e) (i) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.2.3(e), with respect to a LIBOR Loan, all payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (A) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all such required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.2.3) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (B) Borrower shall make such deductions, and (C) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If Lender gives Borrower written notice that any such amounts are payable by Borrower, Borrower shall pay all such amounts to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements by the later of (1) five (5) Business Days after receipt of demand from Lender and (2) their due date, and, as promptly as possible thereafter, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt, if available, or certified copy thereof showing payment of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes.

(ii) Without duplication of any additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(e), Borrower shall indemnify Lender, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by Lender and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, provided that, if Borrower determines that any such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were not correctly or legally imposed or asserted, Lender shall, upon payment by Borrower of the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, allow Borrower to contest (and shall cooperate in such contest), the imposition of such tax upon the reasonable request of Borrower and at Borrower’s expense; provided, however, that Lender shall not be required to participate in any contest that would, in its reasonable judgment, expose it to a material commercial disadvantage or require it to disclose any information it considers confidential or proprietary. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (together with any supporting detail reasonably requested by Borrower), shall be conclusive, provided that such amounts are determined on a reasonable basis.

(iii) Any Non-U.S. Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under U.S. law, the law of the jurisdiction in which Borrower is located (if other than the U.S.), or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, or as reasonably requested by Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to Borrower (or, in the case of a participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased), on or before the date

that such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, two (2) properly completed and duly executed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8IMY, Form W-8EXP or Form W-8ECI, as applicable, (or successor forms thereto), claiming a complete exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by Borrower under this Agreement. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly provide such forms upon becoming aware of the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender (unless it is legally unable to do so as a result of a change in law) and shall promptly notify Borrower at any time it determines that any previously delivered forms are no longer valid.

(iv) Lender or any successor and/or assign of Lender that is incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof agrees that, on or before it becomes a party to this Agreement and from time to time thereafter before the expiration or obsolescence of the previously delivered form, it will deliver to Borrower a United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or successor applicable form, as the case may be, to establish exemption from United States backup withholding tax. If required by applicable law, Borrower is hereby authorized to deduct from any payments due to Lender pursuant to Section 2.2.3 hereof the amount of any withholding taxes resulting from Lender’s failure to comply with this Section 2.2.3(e)(iv).

(v) If a Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of or will receive a credit for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(e), it shall pay over to Borrower an amount equal to the additional amounts paid by Borrower under this Section 2.2.3(e) (with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that Borrower, upon the request of such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any interest to the extent accrued from the date such refund is paid over to Borrower) to such Lender in the event such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority or is unable to claim the credit. This Section 2.2.3(e)(v) shall not be construed to require any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.

(f) Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.2.3(e) hereof, if any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan as contemplated hereunder (i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make a LIBOR Loan or to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan shall be canceled forthwith and (ii) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted automatically to a Prime Rate Loan on the next succeeding Payment Date or within such earlier period as required by law. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan hereunder; provided that such additional amount is generally charged by Lender to other borrowers with loans similar to the Loan.

(g) Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.2.3(e) hereof, in the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive having the force of law hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:

(i) shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder;

(ii) shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any material amount; or

(iii) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the actual out-of-pocket cost to Lender of maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder;

then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable; provided that such additional amount is generally charged by Lender to other borrowers with loans similar to the Loan. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(g), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than ninety (90) days notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount.

(h) Borrower agrees to pay to Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any actual out-of-pocket expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on any LIBOR Loan, including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain any LIBOR Loan hereunder, (ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of any LIBOR Loan on a day that (A) is not the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or (B) is the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto if Borrower did not give the prior notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain any LIBOR Loan hereunder, and (iii) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Applicable Interest Rate from LIBOR plus the Spread to the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread with respect to any portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance then bearing interest at LIBOR plus the Spread on a date other than the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period, including, without limitation, such actual out-of-

pocket expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain any LIBOR Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Lender’s willful misconduct, fraud, illegal acts or gross negligence. No Breakage Costs shall be due or payable if, in connection with any prepayment of the Loan by Borrower, Borrower pays interest through the next Payment Date as provided in Section 2.4.1 hereof.

(i) Subject to Section 2.2.3(e) above, Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder, or any reduced rate of return, which was incurred or which accrued more than ninety (90) days before the date Lender notified Borrower in writing of the change in law or other circumstance on which such claim of compensation is based and delivered to Borrower a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.2.3, which statement, made in good faith, shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

2.2.4 Additional Costs. Lender will use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to maintain the availability of all LIBOR Loans and to avoid or reduce any increased or additional costs payable by Borrower under Section 2.2.3 hereof, including, if requested by Borrower, a transfer or assignment of the Loan to a branch, office or Affiliate of Lender in another jurisdiction, or a redesignation of its lending office with respect to the Loan, in order to maintain the availability of all LIBOR Loans or to avoid or reduce such increased or additional costs, provided that the transfer or assignment or redesignation (a) would not result in any additional costs, expenses or risk to Lender that are not separately agreed to by Borrower to be reimbursed by Borrower and (b) would not be disadvantageous in any other material respect to Lender as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion.

2.2.5 Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Outstanding Principal Balance and, to the extent permitted by law, all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and any other amounts due pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.

2.2.6 Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on any portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on any portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread

throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

2.2.7 Interest Rate Cap Agreement. (a) Prior to or contemporaneously with the date hereof, Borrower shall have entered into an Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a LIBOR strike price equal to the Strike Price. The Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) shall be in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, (ii) shall be with an Acceptable Counterparty, (iii) shall direct such Acceptable Counterparty to deposit directly into the Lockbox Account, or if the Lockbox Account has not yet been established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Cash Management Account, any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement so long as any portion of the Debt exists, provided that the Debt shall be deemed to exist even if the Property is transferred by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof, (iv) shall be for a period equal to the current term of the Loan, and (v) shall have a notional amount which shall not at any time be less than the Outstanding Principal Balance. Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender, pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap, all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and shall deliver to Lender an executed counterpart of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Lender and require that payments be deposited directly into the Lockbox Account, or if the Lockbox Account has not yet been established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Cash Management Account).

(b) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrower or Lender shall be deposited immediately into the Lockbox Account, or if the Lockbox Account has not yet been established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Cash Management Account. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.

(c) In the event of any downgrade of the rating of the Acceptable Counterparty below “A” by S&P or “A2” by Moody’s, Borrower shall replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice from Lender of such downgrade.

(d) In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender an Interest Rate Cap Agreement or fails to maintain an Interest Rate Cap Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, after ten (10) Business Days notice to Borrower and Borrower’s failure to cure, Lender may purchase the required Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the actual out-of-pocket cost incurred by Lender in purchasing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such actual out-of-pocket cost is reimbursed by Borrower to Lender.

(e) In connection with each Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be in-house

counsel for the Counterparty) for the Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, that:

(i) the Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, such Interest Rate Cap Agreement;

(ii) the execution and delivery of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property;

(iii) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Counterparty of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and

(iv) such Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Counterparty, enforceable against the Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(f) At such time as the Loan is repaid in full, all of Lender’s right, title and interest in the Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall terminate and Lender shall, at Borrower’s reasonable expense, promptly execute and deliver such documents as may be reasonably required and prepared by the Counterparty and/or Borrower to evidence release of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement.

Date, all interest, at the Applicable Interest Rate, which would have accrued on the amount of the Outstanding Principal Balance prepaid (in accordance with Section 2.4.3(a) hereof) through, but not including, the next succeeding ninth (9th) day of a calendar month, or, if such prepayment occurs on a Payment Date, through and including the last day of the Interest Period immediately prior to the applicable Payment Date; (ii) if such prepayment occurs prior to the Initial Maturity Date, the Prepayment Premium due with respect to the amount prepaid, and (iii) all other sums due and payable under this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, the Breakage Costs, if any, and all of Lender’s costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment. If a notice of prepayment is given by Borrower to Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4.1, the amount designated for prepayment and all other sums required under this Section 2.4 shall be due and payable on the proposed prepayment date; provided, however, Borrower shall have the right to postpone or revoke such prepayment upon written notice to Lender not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the date such prepayment is due so long as Borrower pays Lender and/or Servicer all actual out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses incurred by Lender and/or Servicer in connection with such postponement or revocation.

2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments. On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, Borrower shall prepay, or authorize Lender to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of, the Outstanding Principal Balance in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. No Prepayment Premium or any other penalty or premium (other than Breakage Costs) shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2, whether occurring prior to or after the Initial Maturity Date. Any prepayment under this Section 2.4.2 shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.4.3(a) hereof. Any Net Proceeds in excess of the amount required to pay the Debt in full shall be disbursed to Borrower.

2.4.3 Application of Payments of Principal.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, all prepayments of the Loan, whether a voluntary prepayment, a prepayment from Net Proceeds, a prepayment from the application of Reserve Funds, a prepayment from the proceeds of the Five Acre Release Price, a prepayment from Rents received by Lender following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, or otherwise, shall be applied first, to payment of the Debt, in any order, priority and proportions as Lender shall elect in its sole discretion from time to time, until the Debt is paid in full, and any remainder shall then be disbursed to Borrower.

(b) It is expressly agreed by Lender and Borrower that any Reserve Funds or other cash collateral held by or on behalf of Lender, whether in the Cash Management Account, the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account, the Interest Reserve Account or otherwise, including, without limitation, any Net Proceeds and/or any Excess Cash Flow then being held by Lender, shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, be applied by Lender in accordance with the foregoing clause (a) or may continue to be held by Lender as additional collateral for the Loan, all in Lender’s sole discretion.

(c) It is expressly agreed by Lender and Borrower that, in Lender’s sole discretion, any Rents received by Lender upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Assignment of Leases may, prior to the application in accordance with the foregoing clause (a), be applied by Lender to the expenses of managing and securing the Property, as contemplated by clause (a) of said Section 3.1 of the Assignment of Leases.

2.4.5 Prepayments Made on Dates Other Than Payment Dates.

In order to effectuate the foregoing, upon any prepayment resulting in any Extra Non-Accrued Interest pursuant to the terms hereof, Lender shall deposit such Extra Non-Accrued Interest in an interest-bearing account for the benefit of Lender until the next Payment Date in order to determine the credit against the next Monthly Interest Payment due to Borrower under this Section 2.4.5, following which Payment Date (a) Lender may withdraw such Extra Non-Accrued Interest, together with all interest accrued thereon, from such account and apply the amount of the interest accrued on such Extra Non-Accrued Interest to amounts due and payable to Lender on such Payment Date, (b) such Extra Non-Accrued Interest, together with all interest accrued thereon, shall constitute the sole and exclusive property of Lender, and (c) Lender shall have no further obligations to Borrower with respect to such Extra Non-Accrued Interest and/or the interest accrued thereon.

To the best of Borrower’s actual knowledge, Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement, license or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is bound. Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is otherwise bound, other than

(a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property as permitted pursuant to clause (t) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, (b) obligations under the Loan Documents, and (c) obligations pursuant to any Management Agreement.

4.1.6 Title. Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the real property comprising part of the Property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. To the best of Borrower’s actual knowledge, the Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the operation or use of the Property (as currently used) or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. The Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the real property portion of the Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents, and (b) together with the filing of the required Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and the proper recording of the Assignment of Leases, perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. To Borrower’s actual knowledge after due inquiry, there are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property that are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents, except any Lien then being contested pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 3.6(b) of the Mortgage.

4.1.7 Solvency. Borrower has (a) not entered into the transaction or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. Taking into account the Loan, the aggregate fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will exceed Borrower’s total aggregate liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. Taking into account the Loan, the aggregate fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will be greater than Borrower’s probable aggregate liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Taking into account the Loan, Borrower’s assets do not and will not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur Indebtedness and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such Indebtedness and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of the obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower or any Guarantor, and none of Borrower nor any Guarantor has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. None of Borrower nor any Guarantor are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of its assets or properties, and Borrower does not have any actual knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or any Guarantor.

4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. To Borrower’s actual knowledge, no statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no fact or circumstance presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender and which will have a material adverse effect on (a) the use and operation of the Property, (b) the enforceability or validity of any Loan Document, the perfection or priority of any Lien created under any Loan Document or the remedies of Lender under any Loan Document, or (c) the ability of Borrower or any Guarantor to perform, in all material respects, its obligations under each of the Loan Documents.

4.1.9 No Plan Assets. As of the date hereof and throughout the term of the Loan (a) Borrower is not and will not be an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, (b) none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, (c) Borrower is not and will not be a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (d) none of the assets of Borrower constitute “plan assets” of a governmental plan within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101 for purposes of any state law provisions regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans.

4.1.10 Compliance. Except as set forth in the Zoning Report, Borrower and, to the best of Borrower’s actual knowledge after due inquiry, the Property (including the use thereof) comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and codes and Prescribed Laws. Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority. There has not been committed by Borrower or, to Borrower’s actual knowledge, any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property, any act or omission affording the federal government or any other Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents.

4.1.11 Financial Information.

Except for Permitted Encumbrances and except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements previously delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan, Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower and are reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Property. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, operation or business of Borrower or, to Borrower’s actual knowledge after due inquiry, the Property from that set forth in said financial statements.

4.1.12 Condemnation.

4.1.14 Utilities and Public Access. To Borrower’s actual knowledge after due inquiry, the Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service the Property for its intended uses. All public utilities necessary to the continued current use and enjoyment of the Property are located either in the public right-of-way abutting the Property (which are connected so as to serve the Property without passing over other property) or in recorded easements serving the Property and such easements are set forth in and insured by the Title Insurance Policy covering the Property. To Borrower’s actual knowledge after due inquiry, all roads necessary for the use of the Property for its current and intended purposes, including, without limitation, Paradise Road and Harmon Avenue (subject to certain restrictions approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion), have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities or are located in recorded easements serving the Property and such easements are set forth in and insured by the Title Insurance Policy.

4.1.18 Enforceability. The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower or any Guarantor, including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable (subject to principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and the enforcement of debtors’ obligations), and none of Borrower nor any Guarantor has asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

4.1.25 Boundaries. Except as disclosed on the Survey, to Borrower’s actual knowledge, no improvements, easements or other encumbrances on adjoining properties encroach upon the Property so as to materially and adversely affect the value or marketability of the Property except those which are insured against by the Title Insurance Policy.

ARTICLE V.
COVENANTS OF BORROWER

Section 5.1 Affirmative Covenants. From the Closing Date and until payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or the earlier release of the Lien of the Mortgage encumbering the Property (and all related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:

5.1.1 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements. Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises necessary for the conduct of its business and comply in all material respects with all Legal Requirements applicable to Borrower and the Property, including, without limitation, Prescribed Laws. There shall never be committed by Borrower, and Borrower shall not knowingly permit any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property to commit, any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture. Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect in all material respects all franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of its property necessary for the conduct of its business as contemplated hereunder and, subject to Borrower’s right to remove or permit the removal of the Permitted Temporary Improvements, shall keep the Property in good working order and repair in all material respects, and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto, all as more fully provided in the Mortgage. Borrower shall keep the Property insured at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers, to such extent and against such risks, and maintain liability and such other insurance, as is more fully provided in this Agreement. Borrower shall operate the Property in accordance with the terms and provisions of the O&M Agreement in all material respects. After prior notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Legal Requirement, the applicability of any Legal Requirement to Borrower or the Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (b) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (c) neither the Property nor any part thereof nor interest therein will be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (d) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof comply with any such Legal

Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (e) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against Borrower and the Property; and (f) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Lender, to insure compliance with such Legal Requirement, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith. Following any non-compliance with such Legal Requirement as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, Lender may apply any such security, as necessary to cause compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or violation of such Legal Requirement is finally established or the Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.

5.1.2 Taxes and Other Charges. Borrower shall pay all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof prior to the date upon which any interest or late charges shall begin to accrue thereon; provided, however, Borrower’s obligation to directly pay Taxes shall be suspended for so long as Borrower complies with the terms and provisions of Section 7.1 hereof. Borrower will deliver to Lender receipts for payment or other evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes and Other Charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent. Borrower shall furnish to Lender receipts for the payment of the Taxes and the Other Charges prior to the date upon which any interest or late charges shall begin to accrue thereon; provided, however, Borrower shall not be required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof. Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged (or provide reasonable security for) any Lien or charge against the Property, and shall promptly pay for all utility services provided to the Property. After prior notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (a) no Event of Default exists; (b) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (c) neither the Property nor any part thereof nor interest therein will be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (d) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith; (e) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Taxes or Other Charges from the Property; and (f) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Lender, to insure the payment of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon. Lender may pay over any such cash deposit or part thereof held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established or the Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost or there shall be any imminent danger of the Lien of the Mortgage being primed by any related Lien.

5.1.3 Litigation. Borrower shall give prompt notice to Lender of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened in writing against Borrower or any

Guarantor which, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on (a) the business operations, economic performance, assets, financial condition, equity, contingent liabilities, material agreements or results of operations of Borrower, any Guarantor or the Property, (b) the enforceability or validity of any Loan Document, the perfection or priority of any Lien created under any Loan Document or the remedies of Lender under any Loan Document, (c) the ability of Borrower or any Guarantor to perform, in all material respects, its obligations under each of the Loan Documents, or (d) the value of, or cash flow from, the Property.

5.1.5 Use of the Property. During the term of the Loan, unless otherwise consented to by Lender in its sole discretion, the Property shall be used solely as a staging area in connection with the construction being performed at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino on the Hotel/Casino Property, including, without limitation, the erection or construction on the Property of Permitted Temporary Improvements, the paving of one of more areas at the Property for temporary parking and/or the storage at the Property of various construction materials, equipment and/or vehicles. In the event that Borrower shall desire to enter into any agreement with respect to the foregoing uses with the Hotel/Casino Property Owner other than the Temporary REA and any Temporary Easement, such agreement shall be subject to Lender’s prior written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In addition to the foregoing, following the Assumption, if ever, Site Work may be performed at the Six Acre Parcel in accordance with provisions of Section 5.1.21(c) hereof.

5.1.6 Cooperate in Legal Proceedings. Borrower shall reasonably cooperate fully with Lender with respect to any proceedings before any court, board or other Governmental Authority which in any way materially affects the rights of Lender hereunder or any rights obtained by Lender under any of the other Loan Documents and, in connection therewith, permit Lender, at its election, to participate in any such proceedings.

(b) do and execute all and such further lawful and reasonable acts, conveyances and assurances for the better and more effective carrying out of the intents and purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as Lender shall reasonably require from time to time.

5.1.11 Financial Reporting. (a) Borrower will keep and maintain or will cause to be kept and maintained on a Fiscal Year basis, in accordance with GAAP (or such other accounting basis acceptable to Lender), proper and accurate books, records and accounts reflecting all of the financial affairs of Borrower and all items of income and expense in connection with the operation of the Property. Lender shall have the right from time to time at all times during normal business hours upon reasonable notice (which may be verbal) to examine such books, records and accounts at the office of Borrower or any other Person maintaining such books, records and accounts and to make such copies or extracts thereof as Lender shall desire. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay any actual costs and expenses incurred by Lender to examine Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s accounting, as Lender shall reasonably determine to be necessary or appropriate in the protection of Lender’s interest.

(b) Borrower will furnish to Lender annually, within one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of each Fiscal Year of Borrower, a complete copy of Borrower’s and each Guarantor’s annual financial statements audited by a “Big Four” accounting firm or other independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Lender (it being hereby understood and agreed that BDO Seidman, LLP is acceptable to Lender) in accordance with GAAP (or such other accounting basis acceptable to Lender) covering the Property for such Fiscal Year and containing statements of profit and loss for Borrower, each Guarantor and the Property and a balance sheet for Borrower and each Guarantor; provided, however, that in the event that any Guarantor is not otherwise required to, and does not, cause to be prepared such audited financial statements in the ordinary course of its business, it may deliver the unaudited statements which are delivered to its investors or otherwise prepared in the ordinary course of its business, accompanied by the Officer’s Certificate required under subclause (B) below. Such statements of Borrower shall set forth the financial condition and the results of operations for the Property for such Fiscal Year, and shall include, but not be limited to, amounts representing

annual Net Operating Income, Gross Income from Operations and Operating Expenses. Borrower’s annual financial statements shall be accompanied by (i) a comparison of the budgeted income and expenses and the actual income and expenses for the prior Fiscal Year, (ii) an unqualified opinion of a “Big Four” accounting firm or other independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Lender, and (iii) an Officer’s Certificate from Borrower certifying that each annual financial statement presents fairly the financial condition and the results of operations of Borrower and the Property and that such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and as of the date thereof whether there exists an event or circumstance which constitutes a monetary Default or any Event of Default under the Loan Documents and, if a monetary Default or any Event of Default exists, the nature thereof, the period of time it has existed and the action then being taken to remedy the same. Each Guarantor’s annual financial statements shall be accompanied by (A) an unqualified opinion of a “Big Four” accounting firm or other independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Lender, and (B) an Officer’s Certificate certifying that each annual financial statement presents fairly the financial condition and the results of operations of such Guarantor being reported upon and that such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and as of the date thereof whether there exists an event or circumstance which constitutes a monetary Default or any Event of Default under the Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, such Guarantor, and if a monetary Default or any Event of Default exists, the nature thereof, the period of time it has existed and the action then being taken to remedy the same.

(c) Borrower will furnish, or cause to be furnished, to Lender on or before forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter during the term of the Loan, the following items, accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate stating that such items are true, correct, accurate, and complete and fairly present the financial condition and results of the operations of Borrower and the Property (subject to normal year-end adjustments) as applicable: (i) a rent roll for the subject quarter, if applicable; and (ii) quarterly and year-to-date operating statements (including Capital Expenditures) prepared for each calendar quarter, noting Net Operating Income, Gross Income from Operations and Operating Expenses, each in such form reasonably acceptable to Lender, and, within thirty (30) days following Lender’s reasonable written request, other information necessary and sufficient to fairly represent the financial position and results of operation of the Property during such period, and containing a comparison of budgeted income and expenses and the actual income and expenses together with a detailed explanation of any variances of five percent (5%) or more between budgeted and actual amounts for such periods, all in form satisfactory to Lender. In addition, such Officer’s Certificate shall also state that the representations and warranties of Borrower set forth in Section 4.1.30 hereof are true and correct as of the date of such certificate and that there are no trade payables outstanding for more than sixty (60) days.

(d) Within twenty (20) days following the earlier to occur of (1) the commencement of a regular or recurring stream of Gross Income from Operations, and (2) the Lockbox Implementation Date (if either shall ever occur) and thereafter for each Fiscal Year during the term of the Loan, Borrower shall submit to Lender an Annual Budget not later than twenty (20) days prior to the commencement of such Fiscal Year in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender. The Annual Budget shall be subject to Lender’s written reasonable approval (each such Annual Budget, as and when approved or deemed approved pursuant to this Section

5.1.11(d), the “Approved Annual Budget”). Lender’s approval of a proposed Annual Budget shall be deemed to have been given if (i) such proposed Annual Budget is submitted to Lender with a request for approval set forth in a written notice that states clearly (in 14-point type or larger): “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF AN ANNUAL BUDGET AND IF LENDER DOES NOT RESPOND WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS, BORROWER MAY DELIVER A DEEMED APPROVAL NOTICE” and Lender does not respond by approving such proposed Annual Budget or stating in reasonable detail its objections to such proposed Annual Budget within ten (10) Business Days of Lender’s receipt thereof, and (ii) after Lender’s failure to respond to the initial request for approval of such proposed Annual Budget within the time period set forth in the foregoing clause (i), Borrower shall re-submit such proposed Annual Budget to Lender with a request for approval set forth in a written notice that states clearly (in 14-point type or larger): “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF AN ANNUAL BUDGET. APPROVAL WILL BE DEEMED GIVEN IF LENDER DOES NOT RESPOND WITHIN THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS” and Lender does not respond to such second submission of such proposed Annual Budget by approving such proposed Annual Budget or stating in reasonable detail its objection thereto within three (3) Business Days of Lender’s receipt of such second submission. In the event that Lender objects to a proposed Annual Budget submitted by Borrower, Lender shall advise Borrower of such objections within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrower a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Borrower shall promptly revise such Annual Budget and resubmit the same to Lender. Lender shall advise Borrower of any objections to such revised Annual Budget within ten (10) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrower a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Borrower shall promptly revise (or cause Manager (if applicable) to revise) the same in accordance with the process described in this subsection until Lender approves each Annual Budget. Until such time that Lender approves a proposed Annual Budget (or is deemed to have approved such Annual Budget), the most recently Approved Annual Budget shall apply; provided, that such Approved Annual Budget shall be automatically adjusted (i) to reflect actual increases in Taxes and Insurance Premiums with respect to the Property, (ii) by three percent (3%) on all other items to account for inflation, and (iii) to reflect any expenses that must be incurred on an “emergency basis” in order to prevent the occurrence of any harm to any individuals on the Property or the Property itself or the operation thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if seventy-five percent (75%) of the aggregate amount of costs set forth in a proposed Annual Budget have been approved by Lender, then until such time as Lender approves the entirety of such proposed Annual Budget (or is deemed to have approved the entirety of such proposed Annual Budget in accordance with this Section 5.1.11(d)), (A) such approved portions of such proposed Annual Budget shall apply and shall constitute an “Approved Annual Budget” with respect only to such portions, (B) the remainder of such proposed Annual Budget shall be automatically adjusted as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, and (C) Borrower and Lender shall diligently continue the process of agreeing to the remaining costs as set forth in this Section 5.1.11(d) for the approval of the Annual Budget as a whole.

(e) In the event that Borrower must incur any non-recurring extraordinary Operating Expense or Capital Expenditure not set forth in the Approved Annual Budget then in effect (each, an “Extraordinary Expense”), then Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a reasonably detailed explanation of such proposed Extraordinary Expense for Lender’s approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prior approval by Lender shall be required for any Extraordinary Expense needed to be incurred immediately to prevent imminent

injury to person or damage to property, provided that within three (3) Business Days thereafter Borrower shall provide reasonably satisfactory evidence to Lender to demonstrate the imminent necessity and reasonableness of the Extraordinary Expense incurred.

(f) If, at the time a Disclosure Document is being prepared for a Securitization, Lender expects that Borrower and one or more Affiliates of Borrower collectively, or the Property and any one or more Related Properties collectively, will be a Significant Obligor, Borrower shall furnish to Lender upon request (i) the selected financial data or, if applicable, Net Operating Income, required under Item 1112(b)(1) of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed ten percent (10%) (but less than twenty percent (20%)) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization, or (ii) the financial statements required under Item 1112(b)(2) of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization. Such financial data or financial statements shall be furnished to Lender (A) within fifteen (15) Business Days after notice from Lender in connection with the preparation of Disclosure Documents for the Securitization, (B) not later than forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter of Borrower, and (C) not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar year of Borrower; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to furnish financial data or financial statements pursuant to clauses (B) or (C) of this sentence with respect to any period for which a filing pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with or relating to the Securitization (an “Exchange Act Filing”) is not required. If requested by Lender, Borrower shall furnish to Lender financial data and/or financial statements for any tenant of the Property, but only to the extent such tenant is required to provide such financial data and/or financial statements under its Lease, if, in connection with a Securitization, Lender expects there to be, with respect to such tenant or group of Affiliated tenants, a concentration within all of the mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization such that such tenant or group of affiliated tenants would constitute a Significant Obligor.

(g) All financial data and financial statements provided by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.11(f) hereof shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB and all other applicable Legal Requirements. All financial statements referred to in Section 5.1.11(f) hereof shall be audited by independent accountants of Borrower reasonably acceptable to Lender in accordance with Regulation AB and all other applicable Legal Requirements, shall be accompanied by the manually executed report of the independent accountants thereon, which report shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB and all other applicable Legal Requirements, and shall be further accompanied by a manually executed written consent of the independent accountants, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, to the inclusion of such financial statements in any Disclosure Document

and any Exchange Act Filing and to the use of the name of such independent accountants and the reference to such independent accountants as “experts” in any Disclosure Document and Exchange Act Filing, all of which shall be provided at the same time as the related financial statements are required to be provided. All financial data and financial statements (audited or unaudited) provided by Borrower under Section 5.1.11(f) hereof shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate of Borrower, which certification shall state that such financial statements meet the requirements set forth in the first sentence of this Section 5.1.11(g).

(h) If requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender, promptly upon request, with any other or additional financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating information, as Lender shall reasonably determine to be required pursuant to Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other Legal Requirements in connection with any Disclosure Document or any Exchange Act Filing or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by Lender.

(i) In the event Lender reasonably determines, in connection with a Securitization, that the financial data and financial statements required in order to comply with Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or any other Legal Requirements are other than as provided herein, then notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 5.1.11(f) and (g) hereof, Lender may request, and Borrower shall promptly provide, such other financial data and financial statements as Lender determines to be necessary or appropriate for such compliance.

(j) Any reports, statements or other information required to be delivered under this Section 5.1.11 shall be delivered (i) in paper form, (ii) on a compact disk or DVD, and (iii) if requested by Lender and within the capabilities of Borrower’s data systems without change or modification thereto, in electronic form and prepared using a spreadsheet program associated with Microsoft Office products or WordPerfect Office products. Borrower agrees that Lender may disclose information regarding the Property and Borrower that is provided to Lender pursuant to this Section 5.1.11 in connection with any Securitization to such parties requesting such information in connection with such Securitization.

5.1.12 Business and Operations. Borrower will continue to engage in the businesses presently conducted by Borrower as and to the extent the same are necessary for the ownership, maintenance, management and operation of the Property. Borrower will qualify to do business and will remain in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction as and to the extent the same are required for the ownership, maintenance, management and operation of the Property. Borrower shall timely perform all material obligations under all material contracts to which it is a party.

Borrower shall reimburse Lender for any actual losses, actual costs, actual damages (excluding lost profits, diminution in value and other consequential

damages) or reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) incurred by Lender if an interest in the Property, other than as permitted hereunder, is claimed by another Person.

5.1.14 Costs of Enforcement. In the event (a) that the Mortgage is foreclosed in whole or in part or that the Mortgage is put into the hands of an attorney for collection, suit, action or foreclosure, (b) of the foreclosure of any mortgage prior to or subsequent to the Mortgage in which proceeding Lender is made a party, or (c) of the bankruptcy, insolvency, rehabilitation or other similar proceeding in respect of Borrower or any of its Constituent Members or an assignment by Borrower or any of its Constituent Members for the benefit of its creditors and Lender incurs costs in connection with any such proceeding as a direct or indirect result of the Loan, then, in any of the foregoing instances, Borrower, on behalf of itself and its successors or assigns, shall be chargeable with and shall pay all actual out-of-pocket costs of collection and defense, including attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Lender or Borrower in connection therewith and in connection with any appellate proceeding or post-judgment action involved therein.

(b) After request by Borrower, but in no event more than two (2) times in any twelve (12) month period, Lender shall within ten (10) Business Days furnish Borrower with a statement, duly acknowledged and certified, stating (i) the Outstanding Principal Balance, (ii) the Applicable Interest Rate, (iii) the date an installment of interest was last paid, and (iv) whether or not Lender has sent any notice of default under the Loan Documents which remains uncured in the opinion of Lender.

(c) Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Lender within thirty (30) days of receipt of written request, tenant estoppel certificates from each commercial tenant leasing space at the Property, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender; provided that, except in connection with a Securitization, Borrower shall not be required to deliver such certificates more frequently than once in any calendar year.

Borrower shall deliver, in connection with any Securitization, (a) one or more Officer’s Certificates certifying as to the accuracy of all representations made by Borrower in the Loan Documents as of the date of the closing of such Securitization in all relevant jurisdictions (or if any such representations are no longer accurate, providing an explanation as to the reason for such inaccuracy), and (b) certificates of the relevant Governmental Authorities in all relevant jurisdictions indicating the good standing and qualification of Borrower as of the date of the Securitization.

5.1.19 No Joint Assessment. Borrower shall not suffer, permit or initiate the joint assessment of the Property (a) with any other real property constituting a tax lot separate from the Property, and (b) which constitutes real property with any portion of the Property which may be deemed to constitute personal property, or any other procedure whereby the lien of any taxes which may be levied against such personal property shall be assessed or levied or charged to such real property portion of the Property.

5.1.20 Leasing Matters. (a) Borrower shall not enter into any Lease of all or any portion of the Property without Lender’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Upon request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases. Borrower (i) shall observe and perform the obligations imposed upon the lessor under all Leases in a commercially reasonable manner; (ii) shall enforce the terms, covenants and conditions contained in all Leases upon the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner and in a manner not to impair the value of the Property, except that no termination by Borrower or acceptance of surrender by a tenant of any Lease will be permitted without the consent of Lender; (iii) shall not collect any of the rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits); (iv) shall not execute any other assignment of lessor’s interest in any Leases or any Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); and (v) shall not alter, modify or change the terms of any Lease in any material manner, in each of the foregoing instances, without the prior written approval of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld.

Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall execute and deliver additional financing statements, security agreements and other instruments which may be necessary to effectively evidence or perfect Lender’s security interest in the Property as a result of such change of principal place of business or place of organization.

5.2.9 ERISA. (a) Assuming that Lender is not, and is not lending the assets of, an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, Borrower shall not engage in any transaction which would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under ERISA.

(b) Borrower shall deliver to Lender such certifications or other evidence from time to time throughout the term of the Loan, as requested by Lender in its reasonable discretion, that (i) Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, or a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA; (ii) none of the assets of Borrower constitute “plan assets” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA for purposes of any state law provisions regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans; and (iii) one or more of the following circumstances is true:

5.2.10 Transfers. (a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has examined and relied on the experience of Borrower and its general partners, members, principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners, as applicable, in owning and operating properties such as the Property, in agreeing to make the Loan, and will continue to rely on Borrower’s ownership of the Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Property as security for repayment of the Debt and the performance of the obligations contained in the Loan Documents. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that, should Borrower default in the repayment of the Debt or the performance of the obligations contained in the Loan Documents, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the Property.

Without the prior consent of Lender and except to the extent otherwise set forth in this Section 5.2.10, Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Transfer Restricted Party to, (i) sell, convey, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumber, pledge, assign, license, grant options with respect to, or otherwise transfer or dispose of (directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, and whether or not for consideration or of record) the Property or any part thereof or any legal or beneficial interest therein, or (ii) permit a Sale or Pledge of any interest in any Transfer Restricted Party (any of the actions in the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii), a “Transfer”), other than, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.2.10, (A) pursuant to Leases of space at the Property to tenants in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1.20 hereof, (B) a Five Acre Release in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof, (C) Permitted Encumbrances, (D) the issuance of new stock in, the merger or consolidation of, and/or the Sale or Pledge of the stock in, any Publicly Traded Entity who owns a direct or indirect ownership interest in any Transfer Restricted Party, (E) the transfer of indirect ownership interests in Borrower in order to create one or more new mezzanine borrowers for any New Mezzanine Loan as contemplated hereunder, (F) the transfer by deed of the Six Acre Parcel to a Subsidiary Transferee and the subsequent transfer of all of the membership interests held by Borrower in such Subsidiary Transferee, in each instance in accordance with Section 5.2.11(d) hereof, as applicable, and (G) the Assumption; provided, however, that in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (A) – (G), such Transfer shall only be permitted hereunder if it does not violate any Legal Requirements.

The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a claims paying ability rating of (i) “A-” or better (and the equivalent thereof) by S&P and by (A) at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies rating the Securities (provided that if S&P is rating the Securities, than only by one additional Rating Agency rating the Securities, which shall be Moody’s if they are rating the Securities), or (B) if only one Rating Agency is rating the Securities, then only by such Rating Agency; (ii) if there are more than one, but less than five, insurance companies collectively issuing the Policies, (y) seventy-five percent (75%) or more of the insured amount shall have a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better (and the equivalent thereof) by S&P and by (A) at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies rating the Securities (provided that if S&P is rating the Securities, than only by one additional Rating Agency rating the Securities, which shall be Moody’s if Moody’s is rating the Securities), or (B) if only one Rating Agency is rating the Securities, then only by such Rating Agency, and (z) the remaining twenty-five percent (25%) (or lesser remaining amount) of which shall have a claims paying ability rating of “BBB” or better (and the equivalent thereof) by S&P and by (A) at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies rating the Securities (provided that if S&P is rating the Securities, than only by one additional Rating Agency rating the Securities, which shall be Moody’s if Moody’s is rating the Securities), or (B) if only one Rating Agency is rating the Securities, then only by such Rating Agency, or (iii) if there are five or more insurance companies collectively issuing the Policies, (y) sixty percent (60%) or more of the insured amount shall have a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better (and the equivalent thereof) by S&P and by (A) at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies rating the Securities (provided that if S&P is rating the Securities, than only by one additional Rating Agency rating the Securities, which shall be Moody’s if Moody’s is rating the Securities), or (B) if only one Rating Agency is rating the Securities, then only by such Rating Agency, and (z) the remaining forty percent (40%) (or lesser remaining amount) of which shall have a claims paying ability rating of “BBB” or better (and the equivalent thereof) by S&P and by (A) at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies rating the Securities (provided that if S&P is rating the Securities, than only by one additional Rating Agency rating the Securities, which shall be Moody’s if Moody’s is rating the Securities), or (B) if only one Rating Agency is rating the Securities, then only by such Rating Agency, and shall also have a rating of “A X” or better by AM Best’s. The Policies described in Section 6.1(a) hereof (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee. Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies reasonably satisfactory to Lender and accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.

(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall substantially fulfill the requirements contained herein and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a) hereof, and shall only be permitted so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a) hereof, except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(iv) hereof, shall name Borrower as an additional named insured and Lender as an additional insured, as its interests may appear.

(e) All property Policies provided for in Section 6.1 hereof shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

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

(ii) the Policies shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ notice to Lender;

(iii) the issuers thereof shall give notice to Lender if the Policies have not been renewed fifteen (15) days prior to their expiration; and

(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all Policies are in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, upon two (2) Business Days’ written notice to Borrower, to take such reasonable action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender within ten (10) days after demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of demand.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, proof of all property coverages required under Section 6.1(a) hereof shall be on an Acord 25 Certificate of Liability Insurance or on such other form as is then generally used or is otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender agrees that by funding the Loan on the Closing Date, the existing Policies and coverages covering the Property as of the Closing Date are satisfactory to Lender in all respects and are deemed to fully comply with the requirements of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent Lender from insisting upon strict compliance with the requirements of this Section 6.1 with respect to any future Policies or coverage.

Section 6.2 Casualty. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender. Borrower shall not be required to perform any Restoration of any Permitted

Temporary Improvement damaged or destroyed as a result of such Casualty, provided, however, that Borrower shall be required, at its election, and promptly following such Casualty, either to Restore (or cause to be Restored) any damaged Permitted Temporary Improvements or to dismantle and remove (or cause to be dismantled and removed) any damaged Permitted Temporary Improvements that Borrower has elected not to Restore, together with any related debris arising from such Casualty. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration or dismantling and removal, as applicable, whether or not such costs are covered by insurance, it being acknowledged and agreed by Lender, however, that Borrower shall be entitled to keep the proceeds of any property damage insurance carried by Borrower with respect to the Property. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower.

Section 6.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property or any part thereof and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings with respect to any Condemnation, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments reasonably requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt. In the event that a Condemnation shall occur, Lender shall be entitled to the entire Award arising therefrom, which Award, net of Lender’s costs of collection, if any, shall be applied by Lender in accordance with Section 2.4.3 hereof toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable, in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its reasonable discretion.

ARTICLE VII.
RESERVE FUNDS

Section 7.1 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. On the Closing Date, Borrower deposited with Lender $950,000.00 on account of Taxes coming due after the Closing Date and through the Initial Maturity Date and $0.00 on account of Insurance Premiums coming due after the Closing Date and through the Initial Maturity Date. Additionally, additional amounts may be deposited with Lender from time to time (a) pursuant to Section 2.7.1(f) and/or Section 2.7.2(f) hereof, and/or (b) pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 7.1. All amounts so deposited with Lender shall hereinafter be called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund” and the account in

which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Account”. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgage. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. To the extent sufficient amounts have been deposited into the Tax and Insurance Fund with Lender in compliance with this Section 7.1, it shall not be an Event of Default if the Insurance Premiums and/or the Taxes are not paid due to Lender’s failure to apply such amounts to the payment of the Insurance Premiums and the Taxes on the respective dates on which each are due provided that Borrower has not impeded Lender’s attempt to pay such Insurance Premiums or Taxes. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay any Taxes and/or Insurance Premiums not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the applicable due date thereof, Lender shall notify Borrower in writing of such determination and Borrower shall deliver to Lender, within three (3) Business Days after such notification by Lender, the amount of such insufficiency as reasonably estimated by Lender, which amount Lender shall deposit into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and shall thereafter constitute a part thereof for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 7.2 Interest Reserve Fund.

7.2.1 Deposits to Interest Reserve Account. On the Closing Date, Borrower deposited with Lender the amount of $9,532,222.00 to be held by Lender as additional collateral for the Loan, which amount shall constitute all of the Monthly Interest Payments due on each Payment Date occurring from and after the Closing Date through and including the Initial Maturity Date, assuming that (i) no portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance is prepaid, (ii) the Applicable Interest Rate during such period is LIBOR plus the Spread, and (iii) LIBOR is equal to the Strike Price. Additionally, additional amounts may be deposited with Lender from time to time (a) pursuant to Section 2.6.2(b)(v), Section 2.7.1(e), Section 2.7.2(e) and/or Section 5.2.11(a)(viii) hereof, and/or (b) otherwise at Borrower’s election in its sole discretion from additional equity of Borrower. All amounts so deposited with Lender shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Interest Reserve Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Interest Reserve Account.”

7.2.2 Withdrawals from Interest Reserve Account. Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if on any Payment Date the funds available in the Cash Management Account are insufficient to pay the Monthly Interest Payment due on such Payment Date, Lender shall automatically, without the necessity of notifying, or obtaining the approval of, Borrower or any other Person, and without Borrower’s request, apply a portion of the Interest Reserve Fund then on deposit to the payment of the Monthly Interest Payment or the portion thereof for which funds in the Cash Management Account are insufficient as aforesaid, as applicable, and the Interest Reserve Fund shall be reduced by an equal amount. Borrower

expressly acknowledges and agrees that no disbursements from the Interest Reserve Fund shall be made at any time during which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that in the event that on any day on which a Monthly Interest Payment is due and payable (a) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall remain liable for the payment of all Monthly Interest Payments as and when due, or (b) the amount of such Monthly Interest Payment exceeds the Interest Reserve Fund then on deposit, Borrower shall remain liable for the difference between such Monthly Interest Payment and the Interest Reserve Fund then on deposit, such difference to be due and payable at the time the Monthly Interest Payment is due and payable. Lender acknowledges that if Lender is obligated to apply Interest Reserve Funds to the payment of any Monthly Interest Payment pursuant to this Section 7.2.2, then the failure of Borrower to pay such Monthly Interest Payment to the extent of such Interest Reserve Fund shall not be deemed an Event of Default.

Section 7.3 Reserve Funds, Generally.

(a) Borrower hereby grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Funds held by Lender and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the reduction of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, until the Debt is paid in full, with any amounts remaining being disbursed to Borrower. The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.

(b) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.

(c) The Reserve Funds shall be held in an Eligible Account in Permitted Investments pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement. All interest or other earnings on a Reserve Fund (with the exception of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund) shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Fund and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in such Reserve Fund, except that all interest or other earnings on the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall be retained by Lender. Borrower shall have the right to direct Lender to invest sums on deposit in the Eligible Account in Permitted Investments provided (i) such investments are then regularly offered by Lender for accounts of this size, category and type, (ii) such investments are permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, (iii) the maturity date of the Permitted Investment is not later than the date on which the applicable Reserve Fund is required for payment of an obligation for which such Reserve Fund was created, and (iv) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest or income earned on the Reserve Funds (with the exception of the Tax and Insurance

Escrow Fund). No other investments of the sums on deposit in the Reserve Funds shall be permitted except as set forth in this Section 7.3. Borrower shall bear all reasonable costs associated with the investment of the sums in the account in Permitted Investments. Such costs shall be deducted from the income or earnings on such investment, if any, and to the extent such income or earnings shall not be sufficient to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by Borrower promptly on demand by Lender. Lender shall have no liability for the rate of return earned or losses incurred on the investment of the sums in Permitted Investments.

(d) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, third party claims, demands, liabilities, actual losses, actual damages (excluding lost profits, diminution in value and other consequential damages), obligations and reasonable costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds held by Lender or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established, excluding matters arising from Lender’s or its agents’ fraud, willful misconduct, illegal acts or gross negligence. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.

(xv) if any other event shall occur or condition shall exist, if the effect of such event or condition is to accelerate the maturity of any portion of the Debt or to permit Lender to accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Debt.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (vi) or (vii) above) and at any time thereafter, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Property, including, without limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower and/or the Property, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (vi) or (vii) above, the Debt and all Other Obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 8.2 Remedies.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender shall not be subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and any other collateral and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full. Additionally, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to exercise its rights under the Option Agreement.

(b) During the continuance of an Event of Default, with respect to Borrower and the Property, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, and/or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the Outstanding Principal Balance as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property and any other collateral shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.

(c) Lender shall have the right, at Lender’s sole cost and expense except during the continuance of an Event of Default, in which event the same shall be at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder, provided that Borrower’s liability or obligation shall not be increased by such severance. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall reasonably request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance

reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until five (5) Business Days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Except as may be required in connection with a Securitization and expressly provided pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, (i) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and (ii) the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents (modified to reflect the current status of such representations and warranties) and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

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

(e) To the extent permitted by applicable law, any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or to any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.

ARTICLE IX.
SPECIAL PROVISIONS

Section 9.1 Sale of Note and Securitization.

(a) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender may sell all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents, or require Borrower to restructure the Loan into multiple notes (which may include component notes and/or senior and junior notes) and/or issue one or more participations therein and/or syndicate the Loan, which restructuring may include the restructuring of a portion of the Loan into one or more mezzanine loans to the direct and/or indirect owners of the equity interests in Borrower as reasonably, mutually determined by Lender and Borrower, secured by a pledge of such interests, or consummate one or more private or public securitizations of rated single- or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents or a pool of assets that include the Loan and the Loan Documents (such sales, participations and/or

securitizations, collectively, a “Securitization”). At the request of Lender, and to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable good faith efforts to provide information not in the possession of Lender or which may be reasonably required by Lender in order to satisfy the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required by prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization, including, without limitation, to:

(i) provide additional and/or updated Provided Information or other information with respect to the Property reasonably requested or reasonably required by Lender, prospective investors or the Rating Agencies, together with, if customary or if otherwise requested by any Rating Agency, appropriate verification and/or consents related to the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;

(ii) review descriptive materials for presentations to any or all of the Rating Agencies, and work with third-party service providers engaged to obtain, collect, and deliver information reasonably requested or reasonably required by Lender, prospective investors or the Rating Agencies;

(iii) if required by any Rating Agency, (i) deliver updated opinions of counsel as to non-consolidation, due execution and enforceability with respect to the Property, Borrower, any Guarantor, any of their respective Affiliates and the Loan Documents, and (ii) amend the Special Purpose Entity provisions of the organizational documents for Borrower, which counsel opinions and amendments to the organizational documents shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;

(iv) if required by any Rating Agency, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such additional tenant estoppel letters, subordination agreements and/or other agreements from parties to agreements that affect the Property, which estoppel letters, subordination agreements and other agreements shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;

(v) provide, as of the closing date of the Securitization, updated representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies and consistent with the facts covered by such representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents to the extent they are true as of the closing of the Securitization;

(vi) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies to effect the Securitization and/or deliver one or more new component notes to replace any original note or modify any original note to reflect multiple components of the Loan (and such new notes or modified note shall have the same initial weighted average coupon of the original note, but such new notes or modified note may

change the interest rate of the Loan), and modify the Cash Management Agreement with respect to the newly created components such that the pricing and marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of Securities and the rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum rating levels for the Loan, provided, however, that (i) such new notes or modified note will not change the interest rate, the stated maturity or the amortization of principal set forth in the Note unless the varying interest rates shall have the same initial weighted average coupon of the original Note, (ii) such amendments to the Loan Documents or the new notes or modified note will not modify or amend any other economic or material term of the Loan in a manner materially adverse to Borrower or Guarantors or any of their respective Constituent Members, and (iii) such amendments to the Loan Documents will not materially increase Borrower’s or Guarantors’ obligations and liabilities under the Loan Documents or materially decrease the rights of Borrower under the Loan Documents;

(vii) if requested by Lender, review any information regarding the Property, Borrower, any Manager (if applicable) and/or the Loan which is contained in any preliminary or final private placement memorandum, prospectus, prospectus supplement (including any amendment or supplement to either thereof), or other disclosure document to be used by Lender or any affiliate thereof; and

(viii) supply to Lender such documentation, financial statements and reports concerning Borrower, any Guarantor, the Loan and/or the Property in form and substance required in order to comply with any applicable securities laws.

(b) Lender shall pay all reasonable third party costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of Lender’s legal counsel, but excluding the fees and expenses of Borrower’s legal counsel) in excess of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000) incurred by Borrower in connection with Borrower complying with requests made under this Section 9.1 and/or under Section 9.2 hereof, provided, however, the fees and expenses of Borrower’s legal counsel and Borrower’s administrative costs shall not be included in such amount and Borrower shall remain at all times responsible for the fees and expenses of its legal counsel and its own administrative costs. In addition to the foregoing, Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that Borrower shall not be required to pay any Rating Agency surveillance charges.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event of a Securitization that involves a participation or restructuring into one or more New Mezzanine Loans, Borrower shall not be required to deliver Rating Agency confirmations in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement at any time that rated Securities are not outstanding.

Section 9.2 Re-Dating. In connection with a Securitization or other sale of all or a portion of the Loan, Lender shall have the right to modify all operative dates (including, but not limited to, payment dates, interest period start dates and end dates, etc.) under the Loan

Documents, by up to ten (10) days (such action and all related action is a “Re-Dating”) so long as such modification shall not have a materially adverse effect on Borrower. Borrower shall cooperate with Lender to implement any Re-Dating. If Borrower fails to cooperate with Lender within ten (10) Business Days of written request by Lender, Lender is hereby appointed as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact to execute any and all documents necessary to accomplish the Re-Dating, the foregoing power of attorney being coupled with an interest.

Section 9.3 Securitization Indemnification. (a) Borrower understands that information provided to Lender by Borrower and its agents, counsel and representatives may be included in Disclosure Documents in connection with the Securitization and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and may be made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate with the holder(s) of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects.

(b) Upon Lender’s reasonable request, Borrower shall provide in connection with each of (i) a preliminary and a final private placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, an agreement (A) certifying that Borrower has examined such Disclosure Documents specified by Lender and that to Borrower’s actual knowledge, each such Disclosure Document, as it relates to Borrower, Borrower’s Affiliates, Guarantors, the Property, any Manager (if applicable) and/or the Loan, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact in Borrower’s actual knowledge necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading, (B) indemnifying Lender, Credit Suisse (whether or not it is Lender), any Affiliate of Lender or Credit Suisse that has filed any registration statement relating to the Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in connection with the Securitization, any Affiliate of Lender or Credit Suisse that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization, any other co-underwriters, co-placement agents or co-initial purchasers of Securities issued in the Securitization, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates and each Person or entity who controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), for any out-of-pocket losses, third party claims, actual damages (but not lost revenues, diminution in value and other consequential damages) or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any such Disclosure Document specified by Lender for Borrower’s review, as it relates to Borrower, Borrower’s Affiliates, Guarantors, the Property, any Manager (if applicable) and/or the Loan, known by Borrower to be untrue or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact in Borrower’s actual knowledge, required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (C) agreeing to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any reasonable legal or other

reasonable expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent that any such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by Borrower in connection with the preparation of any Disclosure Document(s) or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan or in the ordinary course of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective whether or not a separate indemnification agreement is provided.

(c) In connection with Exchange Act Filings, Borrower shall (i) indemnify the Indemnified Persons for Liabilities to which any such Indemnified Persons may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact in any Disclosure Documents specified by Lender for Borrower’s review, as it relates to Borrower, Borrower’s Affiliates, Guarantors, the Property, any Manager (if applicable) and/or the Loan, or the omission or alleged omission to state in any such Disclosure Document a material fact in Borrower’s actual knowledge, required to be stated in such Disclosure Document in order to make the statements in such Disclosure Document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (ii) reimburse each Indemnified Person for any reasonable legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (i) or (ii) above only to the extent that any such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by Borrower in connection with the preparation of any Disclosure Document(s) or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan or in the ordinary course of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property.

(d) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 9.3 of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Person will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against Borrower under this Section 9.3, notify Borrower in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify Borrower will not relieve Borrower from any liability which Borrower may have to any Indemnified Person hereunder except to the extent that such failure to notify causes material prejudice to Borrower. In the event that any action is brought against any Indemnified Person, and it notifies Borrower of the commencement thereof, Borrower will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that Borrower may elect by written notice delivered to such Indemnified Person promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such Indemnified Person, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. After notice from Borrower to such Indemnified Person under this Section 9.3, such Indemnified Person shall pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Person and Borrower and the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other

Indemnified Persons that are different from or additional to those available to Borrower, the Indemnified Person(s) shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Person(s) at the cost of Borrower. Borrower shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless any Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another Indemnified Person.

(e) Without the prior consent of Credit Suisse or Lender, as applicable (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), Borrower shall not settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless Borrower shall have given Credit Suisse or Lender, as applicable, reasonable prior notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. As long as Borrower has complied with its obligation to defend and indemnify hereunder, Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement made by any Indemnified Person without the consent of Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(f) Borrower agrees that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Section 9.3 is finally judicially determined to be unavailable for any reason or is insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to the Liabilities that are the subject of this Section 9.3), then Borrower, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient: (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to Borrower, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative faults of Borrower, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (A) Lender’s and Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; and (B) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.3, no Person found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any other Person who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(g) Borrower agrees that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 9.3 shall apply whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. Borrower further agrees that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section 9.3.

(h) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.4 hereof, the liabilities and obligations of Borrower and Lender under this Section 9.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

Section 9.4 Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property, the Rents and in any other collateral given by it to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under, or by reason of, or in connection with, the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan, including, without limitation, the Non-Recourse Guaranty, or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender seeking a deficiency judgment against Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgage or commencing any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Property; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any actual loss, damage (excluding any lost revenue, diminution of value (except in the case of clause (xiii) below) and other consequential damages), reasonable cost, reasonable expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred, and in connection with the underpayment of any tax, penalties and interest) arising out of or in connection with the following:

(i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective principals, officers, agents or employees in connection with the Loan;

(ii) physical waste to the Property arising from the intentional misconduct or gross negligence of Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective principals, officers, agents or employees and/or any removal of any asset forming a part of the Property in violation of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents;

(iii) Intentionally Omitted;

(iv) the misappropriation or conversion by Borrower, by any Person Controlled by Borrower, including, without limitation, any Affiliated Manager (if applicable), by any agent of Borrower, or by any other Person with whom Borrower shall collude or cooperate, of (A) any Insurance Proceeds, to the extent so misappropriated or converted; (B) any Awards received in connection with a Condemnation, to the extent so misappropriated or converted; (C) any Rents or other Gross Income from Operations not delivered to Lender following and during the continuance of an Event of Default and not otherwise used to pay actual, customary Operating Expenses reflected on the Approved Annual Budget then in effect, in each of the foregoing instances, to the extent so misappropriated or converted; (D) any Rents paid more than one (1) month in advance in violation of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to the extent so misappropriated or converted; and/or (E) any security deposits, to the extent so misappropriated or converted;

(v) the failure to pay (or to deposit into the Reserve Funds amounts sufficient to pay) all Taxes and all other costs giving rise to any Lien on any portion of the Property with priority over or equal to the Lien of the Loan Documents in violation of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents;

(vi) if Borrower fails to maintain its status as a Special Purpose Entity as required pursuant to the terms hereof;

(vii) if Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s consent to any subordinate financing, deed of trust, mortgage or other voluntary Lien encumbering the Property other than Permitted Encumbrances;

(viii) the failure to maintain insurance coverage under blanket insurance policies to the extent permitted under this Agreement;

(ix) if any of the restrictions to Transfer set forth in Section 5.2.10 hereof or in any of the other Loan Documents are violated;

(x) as a result of the imposition of any tax provided in NRS §§375.020 and 375.023 with respect to (A) Borrower’s acquisition of the Property, and (B) HRHH Adjacent Buyer, LLC’s acquisition of the membership interests in Borrower from HRHH Development, the prior owner of the Property, immediately following HRHH Development’s deeding of the Property to Borrower, provided, however, that any liability under this clause (x) shall terminate upon the payment in full of the Debt;

(xi) as a result of Borrower Transferring or attempting to Transfer the Six Acre Parcel in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.2.11(d) hereof, rather than pursuant to a customary direct deed transfer, including, without limitation, (A) the imposition of any tax (including interest and penalties) provided in NRS §§375.020 and 375.023, (B) in connection with any Bankruptcy Action filed by or against any Subsidiary Transferee prior to or following the

consummation of such sale, and/or (C) in connection with any delay in accomplishing any of the steps identified in said Section 5.2.11(d) hereof;

(xii) if, following the foreclosure of the Property or the consummation of a deed or other transfer in lieu of foreclosure of the Property, including, without limitation, the transfer of the ownership interests in Borrower or in a Subsidiary Transferee in lieu of foreclosure of the Property, Borrower or Guarantors shall fail to cause to be dismantled and removed from the Property all Permitted Temporary Improvements and any related debris within sixty (60) days following Lender’s written request, which may be given at any time following the Termination Date;

(xiii) if (A) the Property does not constitute one or more separate tax lots or constitutes a portion of any tax lot with any other real property that is not part of the Property, or (B) the Option Parcel does not constitute one or more separate tax lots or constitutes a portion of any tax lot with any other real property that is not part of the Option Parcel, provided, however, that any liability under this clause (xiii) automatically shall terminate upon the issuance of one or more separate tax lot numbers covering the entire Property and one or more separate tax lot numbers covering the entire Option Parcel (and Borrower’s provision to Lender of reasonable evidence of same) and issuance of a “separate tax lot” endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender;

(xiv) the failure to obtain and maintain at all times during the term of the Loan, including Extension Terms, the insurance policy required by Section 6.1(a)(vi) hereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.1 hereof; and/or

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower in the event of: (i) Borrower or both Guarantors filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; or (ii) the filing of an involuntary petition against Borrower or both Guarantors under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law by or on behalf of any Person other than Lender, and such petition is not dismissed within ninety (90) days after filing, or Borrower, or any Affiliate thereof who Controls Borrower, or both Guarantors, solicit or cause to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against Borrower or both Guarantors from any Person (other than if

requested to do so by or on behalf of Lender); (iii) Borrower or both Guarantors filing an answer consenting to, or Borrower or both Guarantors, or any Affiliate of any of them who Controls Borrower, otherwise consenting to or acquiescing or joining in, any involuntary petition filed against Borrower or both Guarantors, by any other Person (other than if filed by or on behalf of Lender) under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (iv) Borrower or both Guarantors, or any Affiliate of any of them who Controls Borrower, consenting to or acquiescing or joining in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or examiner for Borrower or any portion of the Property (other than any such appointment at the request or petition of Lender); or (v) Borrower or both Guarantors voluntarily making an assignment for the benefit of creditors (other than Lender), or admitting, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due; unless, in the case of any of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) as it relates to or affects both Guarantors, one or more guarantors acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion remains or becomes a guarantor of the Loan.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and except for (1) Guarantors’ obligations under the Non-Recourse Guaranty, and (2) with respect to the DLJ Guarantor, DLJ Merchant Banking Partners IV, L.P., MBP IV Plan Investors, L.P., DLJMB HRH Co-Investments, L.P., DLJ Offshore Partners IV, L.P., and DLJ Merchant Banking Partners IV (Pacific), L.P. (such limited partnerships, collectively, the “DLJMB Parties”), as provided in that certain commitment letter of the DLJMB Parties of even date herewith addressed to the DLJ Guarantor, no present or future Constituent Member in Borrower, nor any present or future shareholder, officer, director, employee, trustee, beneficiary, advisor, member, partner, principal, participant or agent of or in Borrower or of or in any Person that is or becomes a Constituent Member in Borrower, shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any amendment or amendments to any of the foregoing made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, and Lender on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby waives any and all such personal liability. In addition, Lender, for itself and its successors and assigns, acknowledges and agrees that neither Borrower, nor any Constituent Member, nor any other party, is assuming any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with any agreement, lease, instrument, claim or right constituting a part of the Property or to which the Property is now or hereafter subject, except as may be expressly set forth therein.

For purposes of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, neither the negative capital account of any Constituent Member in Borrower nor any obligation of any Constituent Member in Borrower to restore a negative capital account or to contribute or loan capital to Borrower or to any other Constituent Member in Borrower shall at any time be deemed to be the property or an asset of Borrower (or any such other Constituent Member) and neither Lender nor any of its successors or assigns shall have any right to collect, enforce or proceed against any Constituent Member with respect to any such negative capital account or obligation to restore, contribute or loan.

Section 9.5 Matters Concerning Manager.

Borrower and/or the Property or any material default otherwise occurs under such Management Agreement beyond any applicable grace and cure periods, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, terminate such Management Agreement.

Section 9.6 Servicer. (a) At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrower shall not be responsible for any set up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement nor shall Borrower be responsible for payment of the monthly servicing fee due to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.

(b) Lender shall endeavor in good faith (without liability for failure to do so) to provide Borrower with notification of any change in the Person servicing the Loan; provided that it is expressly acknowledged and agreed by Lender that it shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default hereunder if due to such failure to provide notification Borrower sends any payments required to be made hereunder to Lender or any predecessor Person servicing the Loan.

Section 9.7 Restructuring of Loan. Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right at any time, at Lender’s sole cost and expense, to require Borrower to restructure the Loan into multiple notes (which may include component notes and/or senior and junior notes) and/or to create participation interests in the Loan, which restructuring may include the restructuring of a portion of the Loan to one or more mezzanine loans (each, a “New Mezzanine Loan”) to the direct and/or indirect owners of the equity interests in Borrower as reasonably, mutually determined by Lender and Borrower, secured by a pledge of such interests, the establishment of different interest rates for the Loan and any New Mezzanine Loan(s) and the payment of the Loan and any New Mezzanine Loan(s) in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender; provided, that (i) the total amounts of the Loan and any New Mezzanine Loan(s) immediately following such restructuring shall equal the amount of the Loan and any previously existing New Mezzanine Loan(s), if any, immediately prior to the restructuring, (ii) the weighted average spread above LIBOR of the Loan and any New Mezzanine Loan(s), if any, immediately following such restructuring, shall, in the aggregate, equal the weighted average spread for all of the Loan and any previously existing New Mezzanine Loan(s), if any, immediately prior to the restructuring, and (iii) the debt service payments on the Loan and any New Mezzanine Loan(s), if any, as calculated immediately following such restructuring, shall equal the aggregate debt service payments which would have been payable under the Loan and any previously existing New Mezzanine Loan(s), if any, had the restructuring not occurred. Borrower shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to restructure the Loan and/or to create and/or restructure one or more New Mezzanine Loan(s), if applicable, and shall, upon fifteen (15) Business Days written notice from Lender, which notice shall include the forms of documents for which Lender is requesting execution and delivery, (A) execute and deliver such documents, including, without limitation, in the case of any New Mezzanine Loan, a mezzanine note, a mezzanine loan agreement, a pledge and security agreement and a mezzanine cash management agreement, (B) cause Borrower’s counsel to deliver such legal opinions, and (C) create such a bankruptcy remote borrower under each New Mezzanine Loan as, in each of the case of clauses (A), (B) and

(C) above, shall be reasonably required by Lender and required by any Rating Agency in connection therewith, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, including, without limitation, the severance of this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents if requested by Lender. Except as may be required in connection with a Securitization pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with any such restructuring as set forth in this Section 9.7. In the event Borrower fails to execute and deliver such documents to Lender within five (5) Business Days following such written notice by Lender, and Lender sends a second notice to Borrower with respect to the delivery of such documents containing a legend clearly marked in not less than fourteen (14) point bold face type, underlined, in all capital letters “POWER OF ATTORNEY IN FAVOR OF LENDER DEEMED EFFECTIVE FOR EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS IF NO RESPONSE WITHIN 5 BUSINESS DAYS”, Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such transactions, Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof, if Borrower fails to execute and deliver such documents within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such second notice. It shall be an Event of Default if Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 9.7 after the expiration of five (5) Business Days after the second notice thereof.

102

WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EACH PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY THE OTHER.

Section 10.8 Headings The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

Section 10.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Section 10.10 Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the Obligations of Borrower hereunder. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.

Section 10.11 Waiver of Notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives, and shall not be entitled to, any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.

Section 10.12 Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.

103

Section 10.13 Expenses; Indemnity. (a) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender, within ten (10) days of receipt of notice from Lender, for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (ii) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by or benefiting Borrower; (iii) securing Borrower’s compliance with its obligations pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (iv) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) all fees payable hereunder; (vi) subject to the terms hereof, enforcing or preserving any rights, either in response to third party claims or in prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property or any other security given for the Loan; and (vii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Property or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in this Section 10.13(a) or in any other provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, in the event that (A) Lender employs counsel to collect the Debt, protect or foreclose the Mortgage or as otherwise permitted in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (B) Lender has sold or transferred any interest in the Note, then Borrower shall only be responsible for the attorneys’ fees and expenses of the counsel of NRFC UL, LLC and Column Financial, Inc. or any permitted successor thereto or assignee thereof with respect to their respective entire interests in the Loan, as the initial participants under the Loan.

(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, out-of-pocket losses, actual damages (but not lost revenues, diminution in value and other consequential damages), penalties, actions, judgments, third party suits, third party claims, reasonable costs, reasonable expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to

104

indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.

(c) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency and required pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document in connection with any request or approval sought by Borrower, and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation; provided, however, that Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that Borrower shall not be required to pay any Rating Agency surveillance charges.

Section 10.14 Schedules and Exhibits Incorporated. The Schedules and Exhibits annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

Section 10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Section 10.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

(a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.

(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder and/or to disbursements from the Reserve Funds are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan and/or will refuse to make any disbursement from any Reserve Fund in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed

105

to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

(c) Without limiting the generality of Section 10.16(a) hereof, Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that: (i) DLJ Merchant Banking, Inc. is an affiliate of Lender and various of its indirect subsidiaries and/or affiliates own indirect ownership interests in Borrower (the “DLJ Entities”), and (ii) neither the Lender named herein nor any successor or assign thereof shall have any liability to Borrower as a result of such relationship between Lender and the DLJ Entities, including, without limitation, under any theory of lender liability.

Section 10.17 Publicity and Confidentiality(a) . All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents or to Lender, Credit Suisse or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, disclosure required by applicable state or federal securities laws, rules or regulations or other applicable Legal Requirements, shall not be subject to Lender’s prior written approval.

(b) Lender (and any participant under the Loan and their respective Affiliates) agrees to treat the Loan, the Loan Documents and all financial statements and other information obtained by Lender (and any participant under the Loan and their respective Affiliates) with respect to any Guarantor and/or Borrower (collectively, the “Confidential Information”) as confidential, provided, that: (i) the Confidential Information may be disclosed to the employees, legal counsel, accountants, consultants, prospective partners and lenders of Lender (and any participant under the Loan and their respective Affiliates) who are advised of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information; and (ii) Lender (and any participant under the Loan and their respective Affiliates) may be requested or required, as a result of its status as a publicly traded company, by law, regulation, supervisory authority or other applicable judicial or governmental order to disclose any Confidential Information. In the event of an occurrence described in clause (ii) above, Lender (and any participant under the Loan and their respective Affiliates) shall provide Borrower and Guarantors with prompt notice of such request or requirement so that Borrower and/or any Guarantor may seek an appropriate protective order. If, failing the entry of a protective order within the time frame given to Lender (or any participant under the Loan or their respective Affiliates, as applicable) to respond to such request or requirement, Lender (or any participant under the Loan or their respective Affiliates, as applicable) is, in the opinion of its counsel, compelled to disclose Confidential Information, Lender (and any participant under the Loan and their respective Affiliates, as applicable) may disclose that portion of the Confidential Information that its counsel advises that it is compelled to disclose and will reasonably cooperate with Borrower and Guarantors in their efforts to obtain a protective order or other reliable assurance that only the designated portion of the Confidential Information will be disclosed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above or in any other Loan Document, Lender (and any participant under the Loan and their respective Affiliates) shall be entitled to disclose any and all terms of any Loan Document if Lender (or any participant under the Loan or their respective Affiliates), in its sole discretion, deems it necessary or appropriate under the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and/or the New York Stock Exchange.

106

Section 10.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

Section 10.19 Waiver of Counterclaim. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents or otherwise to offset any Obligations under the Loan Documents. No failure by Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments which Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents.

Section 10.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the businesses of Borrower or its Affiliates.

Section 10.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors.

(a) Borrower hereby represents that neither it nor any of its Affiliates has dealt with any financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all third-party claims, liabilities, out-of-pocket costs and reasonable expenses of any kind (including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (but only for one (1) set of attorneys)) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or an Affiliate of Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The

107

provisions of this Section 10.21(a) shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.

(b) Lender hereby represents that neither it nor any of its Affiliates has dealt with any financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Borrower harmless from and against any and all third-party claims, liabilities, out-of-pocket costs and reasonable expenses of any kind (including Borrower’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (but only for one (1) set of attorneys)) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Lender or an Affiliate of Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21(b) shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.

Section 10.22 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 10.23 Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:

(a) the right to routinely consult with and advise Borrower’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower; provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances. Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice;

(b) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and records of Borrower at any reasonable times upon reasonable notice;

(c) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 5.1.11 hereof, to receive monthly, quarterly and year-end financial reports, including balance sheets, statements of income, shareholder’s equity and cash flow, a management report and schedules of outstanding indebtedness; and

(d) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to approve any acquisition by Borrower of any other significant property (other than (i) personal property required for the day to day operation of the Property and (ii) to the extent any such acquisition is contemplated in the Approved Annual Budget then in effect).

The rights described above in this Section 10.23 may be exercised by any entity which owns and Controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender.

108

Section 10.24 Note Register. Lender (as agent for Borrower) shall maintain a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lender and any successors and assigns and the principal amount of the Loan owing to Lender from time to time. Provided Lender (as agent for Borrower) maintains such Register and enters assignments by Lender of any obligations hereunder in the manner herein required, the entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and Borrower and Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loan or other obligation hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any assignment of any obligation hereunder shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

ARTICLE XI.
INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

ARTICLE XII.
RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER

Section 12.1 Right of First Offer. Prior to seeking any Refinancing Loan and/or any commitment for a Refinancing Loan, Borrower shall first notify Credit Suisse in writing (the “Right of First Offer Notice”) of its intention to obtain any such Refinancing Loan, which Right of First Offer Notice shall (a) contain the Material Economic Terms which Borrower would, in good faith, expect to receive in the market for loans similar in type to the Refinancing Loan being sought, and (b) offer (in each case, a “Right of First Offer”) to Credit Suisse the opportunity to consider whether or not Credit Suisse (or an Affiliate thereof) will provide the Refinancing Loan on Material Economic Terms substantially similar to the Material Economic Terms contained in the Right of First Offer Notice. For the purposes of this Article XII, “Material Economic Terms” shall mean, collectively, the term of the facility, the approximate amount of the facility, the type of facility (i.e., fixed rate v. floating rate; interest only v. amortization), interest rate, points and other fees, guarantors and types of guaranty agreements, use of deposits/reserves, required equity, and net worth and liquidity requirements. For purposes only of this Article XII, the term “Credit Suisse” shall also include any Affiliate of Credit Suisse.

Section 12.2 Right of First Offer Procedure. The Right of First Offer shall be subject to the procedure set forth below.

(a) As and when Borrower determines that it will seek to obtain a Refinancing Loan, Borrower shall promptly send to Credit Suisse the Right of First Offer Notice.

(b) Upon receipt of the Right of First Offer Notice, Credit Suisse shall have the right to request all information and materials relating to Borrower, its direct and indirect principals and the Property that Credit Suisse shall reasonably require in order to evaluate whether or not it will seek to obtain the requisite internal approvals (the “Internal Approvals”) to extend a Refinancing Loan (collectively, the “Right of First Offer Information and

109

Materials”) and Borrower hereby agrees to cooperate with Credit Suisse in all reasonable respects in connection with providing the Right of First Offer Information and Materials. Such request for the Right of First Offer Information and Materials shall be made within five (5) Business Days of Credit Suisse’s receipt of the Right of First Offer Notice.

(c) If Credit Suisse is not willing to consider the Refinancing Loan, Credit Suisse shall, prior to the expiration of the period ending thirty (30) days after Credit Suisse’s receipt of the Right of First Offer Information and Materials, deliver to Borrower a written notice to such effect (“Lender’s Rejection Notice”). Upon receipt of Lender’s Rejection Notice, Borrower shall then have the right to solicit Third Party Lenders to provide a Refinancing Loan.

(d) If Credit Suisse is willing to consider the Refinancing Loan, Credit Suisse shall, prior to the expiration of the period ending thirty (30) days after Credit Suisse’s receipt of the Right of First Offer Information and Materials, deliver to Borrower a term sheet containing Material Economic Terms substantially similar to the Material Economic Terms contained in the Right of First Offer Notice upon which Credit Suisse is prepared to seek the Internal Approvals to extend the Refinancing Loan (the “ROFO Term Sheet”), it being understood that such ROFO Term Sheet shall not be binding upon Credit Suisse and shall in no event be deemed a commitment by Credit Suisse to lend. If Credit Suisse does not deliver a ROFO Term Sheet within such thirty (30) day period, Credit Suisse shall be deemed to be unwilling to provide the Refinancing Loan on the Material Economic Terms contained in the Right of First Offer Notice and the terms and conditions of clause (c) above shall be applicable.

(e) Credit Suisse shall not be liable in any manner whatsoever for (i) failure to deliver any notice or documents specified herein or (ii) its failure to continue to consider whether or not it will commit to extend the Refinancing Loan.

Section 12.3 Application to Credit Suisse. Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that Borrower shall afford the rights under this Article XII to Credit Suisse whether or not Credit Suisse or any Affiliate thereof is then “Lender” under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and Credit Suisse is an express third party beneficiary of this Article XII.
