ARTICLE I

GENERAL TERMS

Section 1.1. The Loan.

(a) On the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender shall make a loan to Borrower (the “Loan”) in an amount equal to the Loan Amount. The Loan shall initially be represented by a single Note that shall bear interest as described in this Agreement at a per annum rate equal to the Initial Interest Rate.

(b) The Loan shall be secured by the Collateral pursuant to the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

(c) Lender shall have the right at any time, at Lender’s sole discretion, to replace the initial Note with two or more replacement Notes, and the holder of each replacement Note shall similarly have the right at any time, at such holder’s sole discretion, to replace its Note with two or more replacement Notes. Each replacement Note shall be in the form of the Note so replaced, but for its principal amount and Interest Rate. The principal amount of each Note shall be determined by the applicable holder in its sole discretion, provided that the initial sum of the principal amounts of the replacement Notes shall equal the then-outstanding principal balance of the Notes that are so replaced. The Interest Rate of each replacement Note shall be determined by the applicable holder in its sole discretion, provided that the initial weighted average of such Interest Rates, weighted on the basis of the principal balances of the respective Notes, shall initially equal the Interest Rate of the Note so replaced. Borrower shall execute and return to Lender each such Note within two Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of an execution copy thereof, and Borrower’s failure to do so within such time period shall, at Lender’s election, constitute an immediate Event of Default hereunder. Borrower hereby authorizes and appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact to execute such replacement Notes on Borrower’s behalf should Borrower fail to do so. The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement. Borrower hereby ratifies all actions that such attorney shall lawfully take or cause to be taken in accordance with this Section 1.1(c). If requested by Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender, together with such replacement Notes, an opinion of counsel with respect to the due authorization and enforceability of such replacement Notes and confirming that the delivery of such replacement Notes does not alter the conclusions reached in the legal opinions delivered to Lender at Closing.

(d) To secure the full and timely payment of the Indebtedness, Borrower hereby grants to Lender, its heirs, successors and assigns, a first-priority Lien on all Collateral, wherever located, now or hereafter owned from time to time by Borrower, including, without limitation, all “goods,” “consumer goods,” “equipment,” “inventory,” “fixtures,” “farm products,” “accounts,” “deposit accounts,” “chattel paper,” “general intangibles,” “software,” “instruments” and “proceeds” of any of the foregoing (all as defined under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York). Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file any appropriate financing statements with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or any other applicable jurisdiction, which financing statements may include a description of the collateral covered thereby as “all assets” or “all personal property” of the Borrower.

Section 1.2. Interest and Principal.

(a) On each Payment Date prior to the Initial Principal Payment Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender interest on each Note for the applicable Interest Accrual Period at the applicable Interest Rate (except that in each case, interest shall be payable on the Indebtedness, including due but unpaid interest, at the Default Rate with respect to any portion of such Interest Accrual Period falling during the continuance of an Event of Default, in which case the monthly payment shall be increased by the amount of Default Interest accrued on the Notes during the applicable Interest Accrual Period). On the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay interest from and including the Closing Date through the end of the first Interest Accrual Period. Interest payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the related Interest Accrual Period.

(b) Commencing with the Initial Principal Payment Date, and on each and every Payment Date thereafter, Borrower shall pay to Lender a constant monthly payment of $199,406.96, which amount shall be applied first toward the payment of interest on each Note for the applicable Interest Accrual Period at the applicable Interest Rate (except that in each case, interest shall be payable at the Default Rate with respect to any portion of such Interest Accrual Period falling during the continuance of an Event of Default, in which case the monthly payment shall be increased by the amount of Default Interest accrued on the Notes during the applicable Interest Accrual Period), and the balance shall be applied toward the reduction of the outstanding principal balances of the Notes pro rata in accordance with their then outstanding principal balances.

(c) No prepayments of the Loan shall be permitted except for (i) prepayments resulting from Casualty or Condemnation as described in Section 5.16(f), and (ii) a prepayment of the Loan in whole (but not in part) during the Prepayment Period on not less than 15 days prior written notice; provided that any prepayment hereunder shall be accompanied by all interest accrued on the amount prepaid, plus the amount of interest that would have accrued thereon if the Loan had remained outstanding through the end of the Interest Accrual Period in which such prepayment occurs, plus all other amounts then due under the Loan Documents. Borrower’s notice of prepayment shall create an obligation of Borrower to prepay the Loan as set forth therein, but may be rescinded with five days’ written notice to Lender (subject to payment of any out-of-pocket costs and expenses resulting from such rescission). In addition, Defeasance

shall be permitted after the expiration of the Lockout Period as described in Section 2.1. The entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, together with interest through the end of the applicable Interest Accrual Period and all other amounts then due under the Loan Documents, shall be due and payable by Borrower to Lender on the Maturity Date.

(d) If all or any portion of the Principal Indebtedness is paid to Lender following acceleration of the Loan or as a result of a Casualty or Condemnation, Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to the applicable Yield Maintenance Premium. Amounts received in respect of the Indebtedness during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be applied toward interest, principal and other components of the Indebtedness (in such order as Lender shall determine) before any such amounts are applied toward payment of Yield Maintenance Premiums, with the result that Yield Maintenance Premiums shall accrue as the Principal Indebtedness is repaid but no amount received from Borrower shall constitute payment of a Yield Maintenance Premium until the remainder of the Indebtedness shall have been paid in full. Borrower acknowledges that (i) a prepayment will cause damage to Lender; (ii) the Yield Maintenance Premium is intended to compensate Lender for the loss of its investment and the expense incurred and time and effort associated with making the Loan, which will not be fully repaid if the Loan is prepaid; (iii) it will be extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of Lender’s damages caused by a prepayment after an acceleration or any other prepayment not permitted by the Loan Documents; and (iv) the Yield Maintenance Premium represents Lender’s and Borrower’s reasonable estimate of Lender’s damages from the prepayment and is not a penalty.

(e) Any payments of interest and/or principal not paid when due hereunder shall bear interest at the applicable Default Rate and, in the case of all payments due hereunder other than the repayment of the Principal Indebtedness on the Maturity Date or on any other earlier date as a result of an acceleration of the Loan, when paid, shall be accompanied by a late fee in an amount equal to the lesser of three percent of such unpaid sum and the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray a portion of the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment.

Section 1.3. Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Notes (including any deposit into the Cash Management Account pursuant to Section 3.2(c)) shall be made to Lender not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due (except in the case of the payment made on the Maturity Date, which shall be made not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time) and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by wire transfer in federal or other immediately available funds to the account specified from time to time by Lender. Any funds received by Lender after such time shall be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day. Lender shall notify Borrower in writing of any changes in the account to which payments are to be made. If the amount received from Borrower (or from the Cash Management Account pursuant to Section 3.2(b)) is less than the sum of all amounts then due and payable hereunder, such amount shall be applied, at Lender’s sole discretion, either toward the components of the Indebtedness (e.g., interest, principal and other amounts payable hereunder) and the Notes, in such sequence as Lender shall elect in its sole discretion, or toward the payment of Property expenses.

Section 1.4. Taxes; Regulatory Change.

(a) Obligor agrees to indemnify Lender against any present or future stamp, documentary or other similar or related taxes or other similar or related charges now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any United States Governmental Authority by reason of the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and any consents, waivers, amendments and enforcement of rights under the Loan Documents.

(b) If Obligor is required by law to withhold or deduct any amount from any payment hereunder in respect of any U.S. Tax, Obligor shall withhold or deduct the appropriate amount, remit such amount to the appropriate Governmental Authority and pay to each Person to whom there has been an Assignment or Participation of a Loan and who is not a U.S. Person such additional amounts as are necessary in order that the net payment of any amount due to such non-U.S. Person hereunder after deduction for or withholding in respect of any U.S. Tax imposed with respect to such payment (or in lieu thereof, payment of such U.S. Tax by such non-U.S. Person), will not be less than the amount stated in this Agreement to be then due and payable; except that the foregoing obligation to pay such additional amounts shall not apply (i) to any assignee that has not complied with the obligations contained in Section 9.7(c), (ii) to any U.S. Taxes imposed solely by reason of the failure by such Person (or, if such Person is not the beneficial owner of the relevant Loan, such beneficial owner) to comply with applicable certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connections with the United States of America of such Person (or beneficial owner, as the case may be) if such compliance is required by statute or regulation of the United States of America as a precondition to relief or exemption from such U.S. Taxes; or (iii) with respect to any Person who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment, to any U.S. Tax imposed with respect to payments made under any Note to a fiduciary or partnership to the extent that the beneficial owner or member of the partnership would not have been entitled to the additional amounts if such beneficial owner or member of the partnership had been the holder of the Note.

(c) Within 30 days after paying any amount from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within 30 days after it is required by law to remit such deduction or withholding to any relevant taxing or other authority, Obligor shall deliver to such non-U.S. Person satisfactory evidence of such deduction, withholding or payment (as the case may be).

(d) If, as a result of any Regulatory Change, any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with, Lender or any holder of all or a portion of the Loan is imposed, modified or deemed applicable and the result is to increase the cost to such Lender or such holder of making or holding the Loan, or to reduce the amount receivable by Lender or such holder hereunder in respect of any portion of the Loan by an amount deemed by Lender or such holder to be material (such increases in cost and reductions in amounts receivable, “Increased Costs”), then Obligor agrees that it will pay to Lender or such holder upon Lender’s or such holder’s request such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender and/or such holder for such Increased Costs to the extent that such Increased Costs are reasonably allocable to the Loan. Lender will notify Obligor in writing of any event occurring after the Closing Date that will entitle Lender or any holder of

the Loan to compensation pursuant to this Section 1.4(d) as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation and will designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. If such Lender shall fail to notify Obligor of any such event within 90 days following the end of the month during which such event occurred, then Obligor’s liability for any amounts described in this Section incurred by such Lender as a result of such event shall be limited to those attributable to the period occurring subsequent to the 90th day prior to the date upon which such Lender actually notified Obligor of the occurrence of such event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Obligor be required to compensate Lender or any holder of the Loan for any portion of the income or franchise taxes of Lender or such holder, whether or not attributable to payments made by Obligor. If Lender requests compensation under this Section 1.4(d), Obligor may, by notice to Lender, require that such Lender furnish to Obligor a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof.

Section 1.5. Release. Upon payment of the Indebtedness in full when permitted or required hereunder, Lender shall execute instruments prepared by Borrower and reasonably satisfactory to Lender, which, at Borrower’s election and at Borrower’s sole cost and expense: (a) release and discharge all Liens on all Collateral securing payment of the Indebtedness (subject to Borrower’s obligation to pay any associated fees and expenses), including all balances in the Collateral Accounts; or (b) assign such Liens (and the Loan Documents) to a new lender designated by Borrower. Any release or assignment provided by Lender pursuant to this Section 1.5 shall be without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind.

The right of the initial Lender hereunder or its designee to establish or designate a Defeasance Borrower shall be retained by the initial Lender notwithstanding the sale or transfer of the Loan unless such obligation is specifically assigned to and assumed by the transferee. Such Defeasance Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender an assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, such Uniform Commercial Code financing statements as may be reasonably requested by Lender and legal opinions of counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender that are substantially equivalent to the opinions delivered to Lender on the Closing Date, including new nonconsolidation opinions reasonably satisfactory to Lender and satisfactory to the Rating Agencies; and Obligor and the Defeasance Borrower shall deliver such other documents, certificates and legal opinions as Lender shall reasonably request.

(c) Obligor must give Lender and each Rating Agency at least 30 days’ (and not more than 90 days’) prior written notice of any Defeasance under this Section 2.1, specifying the date on which the Defeasance is to occur. If such Defeasance is not made on such date (x) Obligor’s notice of Defeasance will be deemed rescinded, and (y) Obligor shall on such date pay to Lender all reasonable losses, costs and expenses suffered by Lender as a consequence of such rescission.

(d) Upon satisfaction of the requirements contained in this Section 2.1, Lender will execute and deliver to Obligor such instruments, prepared by Obligor and approved by Lender, as shall be necessary to release the Property from the Liens of the Loan Documents.

Section 2.2. Assumption. The initial Obligor shall have the right to Transfer all of the Collateral to a Qualified Successor Borrower that will, contemporaneously with such Transfer, assume all of the obligations of Obligor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (an “Assumption”), provided no Event of Default or material monetary Default is then continuing or would result therefrom and the following conditions are met to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender:

(i) such Qualified Successor Borrower shall have executed and delivered to Lender an assumption agreement (including an assumption of the Mortgage in recordable form, if requested by Lender), in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, evidencing its agreement to abide and be bound by the terms of the Loan Documents and containing representations substantially equivalent to those contained in Article IV (recast, as necessary, such that representations that specifically relate to Closing Date are remade as of the date of such assumption), and such other representations (and evidence of the accuracy of such representations) as the Servicer shall reasonably request;

(ii) the obligations of Operating Lessee under the Operating Lease shall have been assumed by a Qualified Successor Operating Lessee pursuant to an assumption agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, and such Qualified Successor Operating Lessee shall have delivered to Lender all documents reasonably requested by Lender relating to the existence of such Qualified Successor Operating Lessee and the due authorization of such Qualified Operating Lessee to assume the obligations under the Operating Lease, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, including a certified copy of the applicable resolutions from all appropriate persons, certified copies of the organizational documents of the Qualified Successor Operating Lessee, together with all amendments thereto, and certificates of good standing or existence for the Qualified Successor Operating Lessee issued as of a recent date by its state of organization and each other state where such entity, by the nature of its business, is required to qualify or register;

(iii) such Uniform Commercial Code financing statements as may be reasonably requested by Lender shall be filed;

(iv) a party satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion assumes all obligations, liabilities, guarantees and indemnities of Sponsor and any other guarantor under the Loan Documents pursuant to documentation satisfactory to Lender (and upon such assumption

by such party, Sponsor and any other such guarantor shall be released from such obligations, liabilities, guarantees and indemnities);

(v) such Qualified Successor Borrower shall have delivered to Lender legal opinions of counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender that are equivalent to the opinions delivered to Lender on the Closing Date, including new nonconsolidation opinions that are reasonably satisfactory to Lender and satisfactory to each of the Rating Agencies; and Obligor and the Qualified Successor Borrower shall have delivered such other documents, certificates and legal opinions, including relating to REMIC matters, as Lender shall reasonably request;

(vi) such Qualified Successor Borrower shall have delivered to Lender all documents reasonably requested by it relating to the existence of such Qualified Successor Borrower and the due authorization of the Qualified Successor Borrower to assume the Loan and to execute and deliver the documents described in this Section 2.2, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, including a certified copy of the applicable resolutions from all appropriate persons, certified copies of the organizational documents of the Qualified Successor Borrower, together with all amendments thereto, and certificates of good standing or existence for the Qualified Successor Borrower issued as of a recent date by its state of organization and each other state where such entity, by the nature of its business, is required to qualify or register;

(vii) the Qualified Title Insurance Policy shall have been properly endorsed to reflect the Transfer of the Property to the Qualified Successor Borrower;

(viii) the Rating Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to the legal structure of the Qualified Successor Borrower, the documentation of the Assumption and the related legal opinions; and

(ix) Obligor shall have paid to Lender a nonrefundable assumption fee in an amount equal to 1.0% of the Principal Indebtedness, and Obligor shall have reimbursed Lender for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with such assumption.

Section 2.3. Transfers of Equity Interests in Obligor.

(a) No direct or indirect equity interests in Obligor shall be conveyed or otherwise transferred to any Person prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date. From and after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, provided that no Event of Default is continuing, transfers (but not pledges, except as permitted under Section 7.1(f)) of direct and indirect equity interests in Obligor shall be permitted upon 10 days advance written notice thereof to Lender, provided that:

(i) no such transfer shall result in a Change of Control;

(ii) as a condition to any such transfer that results in Obligor ceasing to be Controlled by Sponsor, and each subsequent transfer that again changes the identity of the Qualified Equityholder that Controls Obligor, shall be conditioned upon payment to

Lender of a transfer fee in an amount equal to 1.0% of the Principal Indebtedness at the time of such transfer;

(iii) as a condition to any such transfer that results in any Person acquiring more than 49% of the direct or indirect equity interest in Obligor or a Single-Purpose Equityholder (even if not constituting a Change of Control), Obligor shall deliver to Lender with respect to such Person a new non-consolidation opinion satisfactory to (A) prior to the occurrence of any Securitization of the Loan, Lender (Lender’s approval of any such non-consolidation opinion that is in substantially the form of the Nonconsolidation Opinion not to be unreasonably withheld), and (B) at any time following any Securitization or series of Securitizations of the Loan, each of the Rating Agencies rating such Securitization or Securitizations; and

(iv) Obligor shall have reimbursed Lender for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with any such transfer.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 2.3(a) above, the following transactions shall not be deemed prohibited transfers under this Agreement and shall not require the consent of Lender:

(i) the issuance of additional shares or the transfer of existing shares of Sponsor on any public exchange or the issuance of new units or transfers of existing units in Pebblebrook Hotel, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), provided that it shall continue to be Controlled by Sponsor; and

(ii) any merger of Sponsor or the Operating Partnership or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Sponsor or the Operating Partnership, provided that the new direct or indirect owner of Obligor resulting from such transaction assumes all obligations of Sponsor under the Loan Documents.

ARTICLE III

ACCOUNTS

Section 3.1. Cash Management Account.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrower shall establish and thereafter maintain with the Cash Management Bank a cash management account into which income from the Property payable to Maryland Guarantor or Operating Lessee will be deposited (the “Cash Management Account”), which account shall be owned by Borrower but remain under the sole and exclusive control (as defined in the New York Uniform Commercial Code) of Lender. As a condition precedent to the closing of the Loan, Borrower shall cause the Cash Management Bank to execute and deliver an agreement (as amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance herewith, a “Cash Management Agreement”) that provides, inter alia, that no party other than Lender and Servicer shall have the right to withdraw funds from the Cash Management Account and that the Cash Management Bank shall comply with all instructions and entitlement orders of Lender relating to the Cash Management Account and the other Collateral Accounts, in each case, without the consent of Borrower, Operating Lessee or

any other Person. Notwithstanding any term herein or in the Cash Management Agreement, at any time that (i) a Tax Reserve Exemption Period shall be continuing, to the extent provided in Section 3.4(c), the amount remitted to the Cash Management Account shall be net of any amounts needed to pay Taxes as and when due and (ii) an Insurance Reserve Exemption Period shall be continuing, to the extent provided in Section 3.4(c), the amount remitted to the Cash Management Account shall be net of any amounts needed to pay insurance premiums as and when due. The fees and expenses of the Cash Management Bank shall be paid by Borrower.

(b) Maryland Guarantor shall cause Approved Property Manager to remit all amounts payable to Maryland Guarantor or Operating Lessee (other than tenant security deposits required to be held in escrow accounts) to the Cash Management Account or a Blocked Account immediately at such times as Maryland Guarantor or Operating Lessee are entitled to receive such funds pursuant to the Approved Management Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Trigger Period or Event of Default is continuing, the amount remitted each month into the Cash Management Account shall not be required to exceed the Operating Lease Monthly Rent. “Blocked Account” means an Eligible Account maintained with a financial institution satisfactory to Lender that enters into a blocked account agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender (as amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance herewith, the “Blocked Account Agreement”) satisfactory to Lender pursuant to which such financial institution will remit, at the end of each Business Day, all amounts contained therein to an account specified by Lender (Lender hereby agreeing to specify the Cash Management Account so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing).

(c) Lender shall have the right at any time, upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to Obligor, to replace the Cash Management Bank with any Eligible Institution at which Eligible Accounts may be maintained that will promptly execute and deliver to Lender a Cash Management Agreement substantially identical to the Cash Management Agreement executed at Closing. In addition, during the continuance of an Event of Default or if the Blocked Account Bank fails to comply with the Blocked Account Agreement or ceases to be an Eligible Institution, Lender shall have the right at any time, upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to Obligor, to replace the Blocked Account Bank with any Eligible Institution at which Eligible Accounts may be maintained that will promptly execute and deliver to Lender a Blocked Account Agreement satisfactory to Lender.

(d) Maryland Guarantor shall cause Operating Lessee to maintain at all times a Qualified Operating Expense Account. Maryland Guarantor shall not permit any amounts unrelated to the Property to be commingled with amounts on deposit in the Qualified Operating Expense Account and shall cause all amounts payable with respect to Operating Expenses for the Property (to the extent such Operating Expenses have not previously been paid by Approved Property Manager in accordance with the Approved Management Agreement) to be paid from the Qualified Operating Expense Account or the Cash Management Account (to the extent required or permitted hereunder) and no other account. Maryland Guarantor shall, or shall cause Operating Lessee to, deliver to Lender each month the monthly bank statement related to such Qualified Operating Expense Account. Unless and until an Event of Default shall occur, Operating Lessee shall have direct access to, and shall be permitted to make withdrawals and, except during the continuance of a Trigger Period, equity distributions from, the Qualified Operating Expense Account, without the consent of Lender. During the continuance of an Event

of Default, all amounts contained in the Qualified Operating Expense Account shall be remitted to the Cash Management Account.

Section 3.2. Distributions from Cash Management Account.

(a) The Cash Management Agreement shall provide that the Cash Management Bank shall remit to the Qualified Operating Expense Account, at the end of each Business Day (or, at Borrower’s election, on a less frequent basis), the amount, if any, by which amounts then contained in the Cash Management Account exceed the aggregate amount required to be paid to or reserved with Lender on the next Payment Date pursuant hereto (the “Minimum Balance”); provided, however, that Lender shall terminate such remittances during the continuance of an Event of Default or Trigger Period upon notice to the Cash Management Bank. Lender may notify the Cash Management Bank at any time of any change in the Minimum Balance.

(b) On each Payment Date, provided no Event of Default is continuing, Lender shall transfer amounts from the Cash Management Account, to the extent available therein, to make the following payments in the following order of priority:

(i) to the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account, the amounts then required to be deposited therein pursuant to Section 3.4;

(ii) to Lender, the amount of all scheduled or delinquent interest and principal on the Loan and all other amounts then due and payable under the Loan Documents (with any amounts in respect of principal paid last);

(iii) during the continuance of a Trigger Period, to the Qualified Operating Expense Account, an amount equal to the Budgeted Operating Expenses for the month in which such Payment Date occurs, to the extent such Budgeted Operating Expenses have not previously been paid by Approved Property Manager in accordance with the Approved Management Agreement, as certified by Maryland Guarantor in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to Lender at least five Business Days prior to such payment date, provided that the amounts disbursed to such account pursuant to this clause (iii) shall be used solely to pay Budgeted Operating Expenses for such month (Obligor agreeing that, in the event that such Budgeted Operating Expenses exceed the actual operating expenses for such month, such excess amounts shall be remitted to the Cash Management Account prior to the next succeeding Payment Date);

(iv) to the FF&E Reserve Account, the amounts, if any, required to be deposited therein pursuant to Section 3.6;

(v) during the continuance of a Trigger Period, all remaining amounts to the Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account; and

(vi) if no Trigger Period is continuing, all remaining amounts to the Qualified Operating Expense Account.

(c) If on any Payment Date the amount in the Cash Management Account shall be insufficient to make all of the transfers described in Section 3.2(b)(i) through (iv), Borrower shall deposit into the Cash Management Account on such Payment Date the amount of such deficiency. If Borrower shall fail to make such deposit, the same shall constitute an Event of Default and, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for under the Loan Documents, Lender may disburse and apply the amounts in the Collateral Accounts in accordance with Section 3.10(c).

Section 3.3. Loss Proceeds Account.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Maryland Guarantor shall establish and thereafter maintain with the Cash Management Bank an account for the purpose of depositing any Loss Proceeds (the “Loss Proceeds Account”).

(b) Provided no Event of Default is continuing, funds in the Loss Proceeds account shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.16.

Section 3.4. Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Maryland Guarantor shall establish and thereafter maintain with the Cash Management Bank an account for the purpose of reserving amounts payable by Maryland Guarantor in respect of Taxes and insurance premiums (the “Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account”).

(b) On the Closing Date, the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account shall be funded in an amount equal to the sum of (i) an amount sufficient to pay all Taxes by the 30^th day prior to the date they come due, assuming subsequent monthly fundings on Payment Dates of 1/12 of projected annual Taxes, plus (ii) an amount sufficient to pay all insurance premiums by the 30^th day prior to the date they come due, assuming subsequent monthly fundings on Payment Dates of 1/12 of projected annual insurance premiums.

(A) 1/12 of the Taxes that Lender reasonably estimates, based on information provided by Maryland Guarantor, will be payable during the next ensuing 12 months, plus

(B) 1/12 of the insurance premiums that Lender reasonably estimates, based on information provided by Maryland Guarantor, will be payable during the next ensuing 12 months;

provided, however, that if at any time Lender reasonably determines that the amount in the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account will not be sufficient to accumulate (upon payment of subsequent monthly amounts in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) the full amount of all installments of Taxes and insurance premiums by the date on which such amounts come due, then Lender shall notify Maryland Guarantor of such determination and Maryland

Guarantor shall increase its monthly payments to the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account by the amount that Lender reasonably estimates is sufficient to achieve such accumulation.

(d) Notwithstanding the terms and provisions of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 3.4:

(i) Maryland Guarantor shall have no obligation to comply with subclause (i) of Section 3.4(b) and Section 3.4(c)(A) for so long as (i) no Event of Default or Trigger Period shall be continuing, (ii) no Taxes that are currently due and payable remain unpaid; and (iii) Maryland Guarantor shall maintain in the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account funds sufficient to pay all of the Taxes that Lender reasonably estimates, based on information provided by Maryland Guarantor , will accrue or be payable during the next ensuing six months (such estimate not to be reduced to the extent of any actual or proposed tax appeal) (any such period, a “Tax Reserve Exemption Period”); and

(ii) Maryland Guarantor shall have no obligation to comply with subclause (iii) of Section 3.4(b) and Section 3.4(c)(C) for so long as (i) no Event of Default or Trigger Period shall be continuing, (ii) no insurance premiums that are currently due and payable remain unpaid; and (iii) Maryland Guarantor shall maintain in the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account funds sufficient to pay all of the insurance premiums that Lender reasonably estimates, based on information provided by Maryland Guarantor, will accrue or be payable during the next ensuing six months (such estimate not to be reduced to the extent of any actual or proposed tax appeal) (any such period, a “Insurance Reserve Exemption Period”).

(e) Maryland Guarantor shall provide Lender with copies of all tax, and insurance bills relating to the Property promptly after Maryland Guarantor’s receipt thereof. During any Tax Reserve Exemption Period, Maryland Guarantor shall make all Tax payments on or before the date due. During any Insurance Reserve Exemption Period, Maryland Guarantor shall make all insurance premium payments on or before the date due. At all other times, Lender will apply amounts in the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account toward the purposes for which such amounts are deposited therein, including, for the avoidance of doubt, Taxes due and payable. In connection with the making of any payment from the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account, Lender may cause such payment to be made according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or insurance carrier, 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 unless given written advance notice by Maryland Guarantor of such inaccuracy, invalidity or other contest.

Section 3.5. [Intentionally Omitted]. Section 3.6. FF&E Reserve Account.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Maryland Guarantor shall establish and thereafter maintain with the Cash Management Bank an account for the purpose of reserving amounts in respect of FF&E expenditures (the “FF&E Reserve Account”).

(b) On each Payment Date there shall be deposited into the FF&E Reserve Account an amount equal to the Monthly FF&E Amount.

(c) Upon the request of Maryland Guarantor at any time that no Event of Default is continuing (but not more often than once per calendar month), Lender shall cause disbursements to Maryland Guarantor from the FF&E Reserve Account to reimburse Maryland Guarantor for FF&E expenditures that are consistent with the Approved Annual Budget; provided that:

(i) Maryland Guarantor shall deliver to Lender invoices evidencing that the costs for which such disbursements are requested are due and payable;

(ii) Maryland Guarantor shall deliver to Lender an Officer’s Certificate confirming that all such costs have been previously paid by Maryland Guarantor or will be paid from the proceeds of the requested disbursement and that all conditions precedent to such disbursement required by the Loan Documents have been satisfied;

(iii) Lender may condition the making of a requested disbursement on (1) reasonable evidence establishing that Maryland Guarantor has applied any amounts previously received by it in accordance with this Section for the expenses to which specific draws made hereunder relate, (2) a reasonably satisfactory site inspection, and (3) receipt of lien releases and waivers from any contractors, subcontractors and others with respect to such amounts; and

(iv) No amounts reserved in the FF&E Reserve Account shall be used to pay expenses in respect of the Capital Plan.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Maryland Guarantor shall have no obligation to comply with subclause (b) of this Section 3.6 for so long as (i) no Event of Default or Trigger Period is continuing, (ii) Maryland Guarantor maintains with an Eligible Institution a separate account (the “Maryland Guarantor FF&E Account”) owned by Maryland Guarantor but subject to a Maryland Guarantor FF&E Account Control Agreement, into which Maryland Guarantor shall deposit, on a monthly basis, an amount equal to or greater than the Monthly FF&E Amount and (iii) Maryland Guarantor’s chief financial officer shall deliver to Lender within ten Business Days of the end of each Fiscal Quarter, an Officer’s Certificate certifying as to the amount contained in the Maryland Guarantor FF&E Account on the last day of such Fiscal Quarter and, upon Lender’s request, further certifying that (1) no amount has been remitted from the Maryland Guarantor FF&E Account for any purpose other than the payment of FF&E expenditures pursuant to the Approved Annual Budget and (2) no amounts reserved in the FF&E Reserve Account have been used to pay expenses in respect of the Capital Plan. Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Period or an Event of Default all amounts contained in the Maryland Guarantor FF&E Account shall be remitted into the FF&E Reserve Account.

Section 3.7. Deferred Maintenance and Environmental Escrow Account.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, if the Deferred Maintenance Amount is greater than zero, Maryland Guarantor shall establish and thereafter maintain with the Cash

Management Bank an account for the purpose of reserving amounts anticipated to be required to correct Deferred Maintenance Conditions (the “Deferred Maintenance and Environmental Escrow Account”).

(b) On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit into the Deferred Maintenance and Environmental Escrow Account, from the proceeds of the Loan, an amount equal to the Deferred Maintenance Amount.

(c) Upon the request of Maryland Guarantor at any time that no Event of Default is continuing (but not more often than once per calendar month), Lender shall cause disbursements to Maryland Guarantor from the Deferred Maintenance and Environmental Escrow Account to reimburse Maryland Guarantor for reasonable costs and expenses incurred in order to correct Deferred Maintenance Conditions, provided that:

(i) Maryland Guarantor shall deliver to Lender invoices evidencing that the costs for which such disbursements are requested are due and payable;

(iii) Lender may condition the making of a requested disbursement on (1) reasonable evidence establishing that Borrower has applied any amounts previously received by it in accordance with this Section for the expenses to which specific draws made hereunder relate, (2) a reasonably satisfactory site inspection, and (3) receipt of lien releases and waivers from any contractors, subcontractors and others with respect to such amounts.

(iv) No amounts reserved in the Deferred Maintenance and Environmental Escrow Account shall be used to pay expenses in respect of the Capital Plan, except for any maintenance requirements called for in the Capital Plan which, absent the Capital Plan, would ordinarily be funded from the Deferred Maintenance and Environmental Escrow Account.

(d) Upon substantial completion (as reasonably determined by Lender) of the portion of the Deferred Maintenance Conditions identified on any line on Schedule C, and provided no Event of Default is then continuing, the remainder of the portion of the Deferred Maintenance Reserve Account held for such line item (as shown adjacent to such line item on Schedule C) shall promptly be remitted to Maryland Guarantor. Upon the correcting of all Deferred Maintenance Conditions, provided no Event of Default or Trigger Period is then continuing, any amounts then remaining in the Deferred Maintenance Reserve Account shall promptly be remitted to Maryland Guarantor and the Deferred Maintenance Account will no longer be maintained.

Section 3.8. Unfunded Obligations Account.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, if the Unfunded Obligations Amount is greater than zero, Maryland Guarantor shall establish and thereafter maintain with the Cash Management Bank an account for the purpose of reserving for Unfunded Obligations required to be funded by Maryland Guarantor (the “Unfunded Obligations Account”).

(c) Maryland Guarantor shall perform its obligations in respect of the Unfunded Obligations when and as due under the respective Leases or other applicable agreements. Upon the request of Maryland Guarantor at any time that no Event of Default is continuing (but not more often than once per calendar month), Lender shall cause disbursements to Maryland Guarantor from the Unfunded Obligations Account to reimburse Maryland Guarantor for reasonable costs and expenses incurred in the performance of Unfunded Obligations, provided that:

(i) Maryland Guarantor shall deliver to Lender invoices evidencing that the costs for which such disbursements are requested are due and payable;

(d) Upon payment or performance, as applicable, of the Unfunded Obligations identified on any line on Schedule D, and provided no Event of Default is then continuing, the remainder of the portion of the Unfunded Obligations Account held for such line item (as shown adjacent to such line item on Schedule D) shall promptly be remitted to Maryland Guarantor, except that any amounts in respect of free rent shall be remitted to the Cash Management Account. Upon the payment or performance in full of all Unfunded Obligations, provided no Event of Default or Trigger Period is then continuing, any amounts then remaining in the Unfunded Obligations Account shall promptly be remitted to Maryland Guarantor and the Unfunded Obligations Account will no longer be maintained.

Section 3.9. Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrower shall establish and thereafter maintain with the Cash Management Bank an account for the deposit of amounts required to be

deposited therein in accordance with Section 3.2(b)(v) (the “Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account”).

(b) Provided that no Event of Default is then continuing, Lender shall release to the Cash Management Account all amounts then contained in the Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account on the first Payment Date after Borrower delivers to Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender establishing that no Trigger Period is then continuing. Such a release shall not preclude the subsequent commencement of a Trigger Period and the deposit of amounts into the Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account as set forth in Section 3.2(b)(v).

Section 3.10. Account Collateral.

(a) Obligor hereby grants a perfected first-priority security interest in favor of Lender in and to the Account Collateral as security for the Indebtedness, together with all rights of a secured party with respect thereto. Each Collateral Account shall be an Eligible Account under the sole dominion and control of Lender and shall be in the name of Obligor, as pledgor, and Lender, as pledgee. Obligor shall have no right to make withdrawals from any of the Collateral Accounts. Funds in the Collateral Accounts shall not be commingled with any other monies at any time. Obligor shall execute any additional documents that Lender in its reasonable discretion may require and shall provide all other evidence reasonably requested by Lender to evidence or perfect its first-priority security interest in the Account Collateral. Funds in the Collateral Account shall be invested at Lender’s discretion only in Permitted Investments, which Permitted Investments shall be credited to the related Collateral Account. All income and gains from the investment of funds in the Collateral Accounts other than the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account shall be retained in the Collateral Accounts from which they were derived. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, all income and gains from the investment of funds in the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account shall be for the account of Lender in consideration of its administration of such Collateral Account, and Lender shall have the right at any time to cause the Cash Management Bank to remit such amounts to Lender. After the Loan and all other Indebtedness have been paid in full, the Collateral Accounts shall be closed and the balances therein, if any, shall be paid to Borrower.

(b) The insufficiency of amounts contained in the Collateral Accounts shall not relieve Obligor from its obligation to fulfill all covenants contained in the Loan Documents.

(c) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, in its sole discretion, apply funds in the Collateral Accounts, and funds resulting from the liquidation of Permitted Investments contained in the Collateral Accounts, either toward the components of the Indebtedness (e.g., interest, principal and other amounts payable hereunder), the Loan and the Notes in such sequence as Lender shall elect in its sole discretion, and/or toward the payment of Property expenses.

Section 3.11. Bankruptcy. Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against Obligor under the Bankruptcy Code, the Account Collateral and the Revenues (whether then already in the Collateral Accounts, or then due or becoming due thereafter) shall be deemed not to be property of Obligor’s bankruptcy estate within the meaning of Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code. If, however, a court of

competent jurisdiction determines that, notwithstanding the foregoing characterization of the Account Collateral and the Revenues by Obligor and Lender, the Account Collateral and/or the Revenues do constitute property of Obligor’s bankruptcy estate, then Obligor and Lender further acknowledge and agree that all such Revenues, whether due and payable before or after the filing of the petition, are and shall be cash collateral of Lender. Obligor acknowledges that Lender does not consent to Obligor’s use of such cash collateral and that, in the event Lender elects (in its sole discretion) to give such consent, such consent shall only be effective if given in writing signed by Lender. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, Obligor shall not have the right to use or apply or require the use or application of such cash collateral (i) unless Obligor shall have received a court order authorizing the use of the same, and (ii) Obligor shall have provided such adequate protection to Lender as shall be required by the bankruptcy court in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code.

Lender shall not withhold its consent to the appointment of any replacement property manager that (a) is a reputable and experienced third-party management organization, (b) possesses no less than ten years’ experience in managing hotel properties similar in size, quality and value to the Property, (c) has been approved by the Approved Franchisor, (d) manages at least 10 hotels in multiple states, with multiple franchisors and with at least an aggregate of 2,000 rooms and (e) is appointed pursuant to an Approved Management Agreement with substantially comparable economics as the existing Approved Management Agreement, including (1) no greater than a 3.0% base management fee and (2) per annum fees (including any incentive fees) that do not exceed the fees specified in the Approved Management Agreement. Lender shall confirm any proposed Approved Property Manager’s compliance with the foregoing within 10 Business Days of Lender’s receipt of Maryland Guarantor’s written request together with all information reasonably necessary to make such determination. If Lender shall fail to respond within such 10 Business Day period, Maryland Guarantor shall have the right to send Lender a notice requesting Lender to respond within 5 Business Days in an envelope and letter marked “LENDER’S IMMEDIATE ATTENTION REQUIRED — FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN 5 BUSINESS DAYS SHALL CONSTITUTE A DEEMED CONSENT.” If Lender shall fail to respond within such 5 Business Day period, Lender shall have been deemed to have confirmed such proposed Approved Property Manager’s compliance with the foregoing requirements.

(b) The Property shall be branded at all times by an Approved Franchisor pursuant to an Approved Franchise Agreement. Lender shall have the rights and remedies granted to Lender under the Franchisor Comfort Letter. Maryland Guarantor may from time to time appoint an Approved Franchisor to brand the Property pursuant to an Approved Franchise Agreement, and such successor franchisor shall execute for Lender’s benefit a franchisor comfort letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. In no event shall it be deemed

unreasonable for Lender to require that the franchisor comfort letter delivered by any successor franchisor be substantially in the form of the Franchisor Comfort Letter. The per annum fees of the Approved Franchisor shall not exceed the fees specified in the Approved Franchise Agreement.

(c) Maryland Guarantor shall cause each Approved Property Manager (including any successor Approved Property Manager) to maintain at all times worker’s compensation insurance as required by Governmental Authorities.

(d) Maryland Guarantor shall notify Lender in writing of any default of (i) Maryland Guarantor, Operating Lessee or the Approved Property Manager under the Approved Management Agreement and (ii) Maryland Guarantor, Operating Lessee or the Approved Franchisor under the Approved Franchise Agreement, in each case, after the expiration of any applicable cure periods, of which Maryland Guarantor has actual knowledge. After reasonable notice to Maryland Guarantor, Lender shall have the right to cure defaults of Maryland Guarantor or Operating Lessee under (i) the Approved Management Agreement (in accordance with the Subordination of Management Agreement) and (ii) the Approved Franchise Agreement (in accordance with the Franchisor Comfort Letter). Any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender to cure any such default shall constitute a part of the Indebtedness and shall be due from Borrower upon demand by Lender.

(e) Upon an Event of Default followed by acceleration of the Loan, Lender may, in its sole discretion (in accordance with Section 3(d) of the Subordination of Management Agreement), require Maryland Guarantor to cause the termination of the Approved Management Agreement and the engagement of an Approved Property Manager selected by Lender to serve as replacement Approved Property Manager pursuant to an Approved Management Agreement.

(f) If Lender forecloses on the Property, Lender may, in its sole discretion (and without any obligation to pay any related termination fee, which termination fee, if any, shall be the sole obligation of Maryland Guarantor), terminate or require Maryland Guarantor to cause the termination of the Approved Franchise Agreement as provided in the Franchisor Comfort Letter and the engagement of an Approved Franchisor selected by Lender to serve as replacement Approved Franchisor pursuant to an Approved Franchise Agreement. In the event of (i) a material default by the Approved Franchisor under the Approved Franchise Agreement after the expiration of any applicable cure period or (ii) the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the occurrence of a similar event with respect to the Approved Franchisor, Lender may, in its sole discretion (and without any obligation to pay any related termination fee, which termination fee shall be the sole obligation of Maryland Guarantor ), require Maryland Guarantor to cause the termination of the Approved Franchise Agreement (to the extent provided in the Franchisor Comfort Letter) and the engagement of a new Approved Franchisor.

(g) Maryland Guarantor shall promptly deliver to Approved Property Manager, in accordance with Section 4.02(b) of the Approved Management Agreement, any notice of default or Event of Default delivered to Obligor under this Agreement.

Section 5.15. Insurance.

(a) Maryland Guarantor shall cause to be obtained and maintained with respect to the Property, for the mutual benefit of Maryland Guarantor and Lender at all times, the following policies of insurance:

(i) insurance against loss or damage by standard perils included within the classification “All Risks Special Form Cause of Loss” (including coverage for damage caused by windstorm and hail). Such insurance shall (A) be in an amount equal to the full replacement cost of the Property and fixtures (without deduction for physical depreciation); (B) have deductibles acceptable to Lender (but in any event not in excess of $50,000, except in the case of windstorm and earthquake coverage, which shall have deductibles not in excess of 5% of the total insurable value of the Property); (C) be paid annually in advance; (D) contain a “Replacement Cost Endorsement” with a waiver of depreciation and an “Agreed Upon Amount Endorsement” waiving all coinsurance provisions; (E) include an ordinance or law coverage endorsement containing Coverage A: “Loss Due to Operation of Law” (with a limit equal to replacement cost, provided that the limit under the coverage in effect as of the Closing Date may be maintained so long as the Property remains legal and conforming under all applicable zoning requirements), Coverage B: “Demolition Cost” and Coverage C: “Increased Cost of Construction” coverages each with limits of no less than 10% of replacement cost or such lesser amounts as Lender may require in its sole discretion; (F) permit that the improvements and other property covered by such insurance be rebuilt at another location in the event that such improvements and other property cannot be rebuilt at the location on which they are situated as of the date hereof.

(ii) flood insurance if the Property is located in a “100 Year Flood Plain”, “special hazard area” (Zones A and V) in an amount equal to the maximum limit of coverage available from FEMA/FIA, plus such excess limits requested by Lender, with a deductible not in excess of $25,000;

(iii) commercial general liability insurance, including broad form coverage of property damage, blanket contractual liability and personal injury (including death

The amount of such insurance shall be increased from time to time as and when the gross revenues from the Property increase;

(v) insurance against loss or damage from (A) leakage of sprinkler systems, if not provided by the policy required by Section 5.15(a)(i), and (B) explosion of steam boilers, air conditioning equipment, high pressure piping, machinery and equipment, pressure vessels or similar apparatus now or hereafter installed in any of the improvements (without exclusion for explosions) and insurance against loss of occupancy or use arising from any breakdown, in such amounts as are generally available and are generally required by institutional lenders for properties comparable to the Property;

The insurance provided for in Section 5.15(a) shall (1) be written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form or equivalent coverage, including coverage for 100% of the total costs of construction on a non-reporting basis and against all risks insured against pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v), (viii) and (ix) of Section 5.15(a), (2) shall include permission to occupy the Property, and (3) shall contain an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;

nonconforming under applicable zoning ordinances and codes, containing ordinance of law coverage in amounts as required by Lender;

(ix) so long as the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 (“TRIPRA”) or a similar statute is in effect, terrorism insurance for Certified and Non-Certified acts (as such terms are defined in TRIPRA or similar statute) in an amount equal to the full replacement cost of the Property (plus twelve months of business interruption coverage). If TRIPRA or a similar statute is not in effect, then provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, Maryland Guarantor shall be required to carry terrorism insurance throughout the term of the Loan as required by the preceding sentence, but in such event Maryland Guarantor shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable at such time in respect of the casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance required hereunder (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance), and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, Maryland Guarantor shall purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount;

(x) liquor liability insurance in an amount of at least $10,000,000 or in such greater amount as may be required by applicable Legal Requirements against claims or liability arising directly or indirectly to persons or property on account of the sale or dispensing of alcoholic beverages at the Property and public liability insurance in an amount of at least $10,000,000 or in such greater amount as may be required by applicable Legal Requirements providing coverage against such claims or liability;

(xi) crime coverage in an amount not less than $2,000,000 to protect against employee dishonesty and related incidents, containing minimum limits per occurrence of $1,000,000;

(xiii) such other insurance as may from time to time be requested by Lender.

(b) All policies of insurance (the “Policies”) required pursuant to this Section 5.15 shall be issued by one or more primary insurers having a claims-paying ability of at least “A” or “A2” by each of the Rating Agencies, or by a syndicate of insurers through which at least 75% of the coverage (if there are 4 or fewer members of the syndicate) or at least 60% of the coverage (if there are 5 or more members of the syndicate) is with carriers having such claims-paying ability ratings (provided that the first layers of coverage are from carriers rated at least “A” or “A2” and all such carriers shall have claims-paying ability ratings of not less than “BBB+” or “Baa1”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of determining whether the insurer ratings requirements set forth above have been satisfied, (1) any insurer that is not rated by Fitch will be regarded as having a Fitch rating that is the equivalent of the rating given to such insurer by any of Moody’s and S&P that does rate such insurer (or, if

both such rating agencies rate such insurer, the lower of the two ratings), (2) any insurer that is not rated by Moody’s will be regarded as having a Moody’s rating of “Baa1” or better if it is rated “A-” or better by S&P and will be regarded as having a Moody’s rating of “A2” or better if it is rated “A+” or better by S&P, (3) RSUI Indemnity Company shall be deemed to have satisfied such insurer ratings requirements with respect to insurance coverage provided by it as of the Closing Date so long as it maintains a Moody’s rating of A3 and (4) Ironshore Inc. shall be deemed to have satisfied such insurer ratings requirements with respect to insurance coverage provided by it as of the Closing Date so long as it maintains a Moody’s rating of Baa1.

(i) shall contain deductibles that, in addition to complying with any other requirements expressly set forth in Section 5.15(a), are approved by Lender (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, but subject to the requirements of each Rating Agency) and are no larger than is customary for similar policies covering similar properties in the geographic market in which the Property is located, but in any event are not in excess of $50,000 (except in the case of windstorm and earthquake coverage, which shall have deductibles not in excess of 5% of the total insurable value of the Property);

(ii) shall be maintained throughout the term of the Loan without cost to Lender and shall name Maryland Guarantor as the named insured;

(iii) with respect to casualty policies, shall contain a standard noncontributory mortgagee clause naming Lender and its successors and assigns as their interests may appear as first mortgagee and loss payee;

(iv) with respect to liability policies, shall name Lender and its successors and assigns as their interests may appear as additional insureds;

(v) with respect to rental or business interruption insurance policies, shall name Lender and its successors and/or assigns as their interests may appear as loss payee;

(vi) shall contain an endorsement providing that neither Maryland Guarantor nor Lender nor any other party shall be a co-insurer under said Policies;

(vii) shall contain an endorsement providing that Lender shall receive at least 30 days’ prior written notice of any modification, reduction or cancellation thereof;

(viii) shall contain an endorsement providing that no act or negligence of Maryland Guarantor or of a Tenant or other occupant or any foreclosure or other proceeding or notice of sale relating to the Property shall affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as a mortgagee is concerned;

(ix) shall provide that Lender shall not be liable for any insurance premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder;

(x) shall contain a waiver of subrogation against Lender;

(xi) may be in the form of a blanket policy, provided that Maryland Guarantor shall provide evidence satisfactory to Lender that the insurance premiums for the Property are separately allocated under such Policy to the Property and that (i) payment of such allocated amount shall maintain the effectiveness of such Policy as to the Property notwithstanding the failure of payment of any other portion of premiums, and (ii) overall insurance limits will under no circumstance limit the amount that will be paid in respect of the Property, and provided further that any such blanket policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder or shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy in Lender’s discretion, subject to review and approval by Lender based on the schedule of locations and values; and

(xii) shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and shall contain such other provisions as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to protect its interests.

(d) Maryland Guarantor shall pay the premiums for all Policies as the same become due and payable. Copies of such Policies, certified as true and correct by Maryland Guarantor, shall be delivered to Lender promptly upon request. Not later than 30 days prior to the expiration date of each Policy, Maryland Guarantor shall deliver to Lender evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Lender, of its renewal. Maryland Guarantor shall promptly forward to Lender a copy of each written notice received by Maryland Guarantor of any modification, reduction or cancellation of any of the Policies or of any of the coverages afforded under any of the Policies. Within 30 days after request by Lender, Maryland Guarantor shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and practices, and the like.

(e) Maryland Guarantor shall not procure any other insurance coverage that would be on the same level of payment as the Policies or would adversely impact in any way the ability of Lender or Maryland Guarantor to collect any proceeds under any of the Policies. If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all Policies are in full force and effect when and as required hereunder, Lender shall have the right to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate (but limited to the coverages and amounts required hereunder). All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Maryland Guarantor to Lender upon demand and, until paid, and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

(f) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Indebtedness, all right, title and interest of Maryland Guarantor in and to the Policies then in force with respect to the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or in Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

Section 5.16. Casualty and Condemnation.

(a) Maryland Guarantor shall give prompt notice to Lender of any Casualty or Condemnation or of the actual or threatened commencement of proceedings that would result in a Condemnation.

(b) Lender may participate in any proceedings for any taking by any public or quasi-public authority accomplished through a Condemnation or any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of a Condemnation, to the extent permitted by law. Upon Lender’s request, Maryland Guarantor shall deliver to Lender all instruments reasonably requested by it to permit such participation. Maryland Guarantor shall, at its sole cost and 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. Maryland Guarantor shall not consent or agree to a Condemnation or action in lieu thereof without the prior written consent of Lender in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed in the case of a taking of an immaterial portion of the Property.

(c) Lender may (x) jointly with Maryland Guarantor settle and adjust any claims, (y) during the continuance of an Event of Default, settle and adjust any claims without the consent or cooperation of Maryland Guarantor, or (z) allow Maryland Guarantor to settle and adjust any claims; except that if no Event of Default is continuing, Maryland Guarantor may settle and adjust claims aggregating not in excess of $500,000 if such settlement or adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, but Lender shall be entitled to collect and receive (as set forth below) any and all Loss Proceeds. The reasonable expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of Loss Proceeds shall become part of the Indebtedness and shall be reimbursed by Maryland Guarantor to Lender upon demand therefor.

(d) All Loss Proceeds from any Casualty or Condemnation shall be immediately deposited into the Loss Proceeds Account (monthly rental loss/business interruption proceeds to be initially deposited into the Loss Proceeds Account and subsequently deposited into the Cash Management Account in installments as and when the lost rental income covered by such proceeds would have been payable). Following the occurrence of a Casualty, Maryland Guarantor, regardless of whether proceeds are available, shall in a reasonably prompt manner proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty, all in accordance with the terms hereof applicable to Alterations. If any Condemnation or Casualty occurs as to which, in the reasonable judgment of Lender:

(i) in the case of a Casualty, the cost of restoration would not exceed 25% of the Loan Amount and the Casualty does not render untenantable, or result in the cancellation of Leases covering, more than 25% of the gross rentable area of the Property, or result in cancellation of Leases covering more than 25% of the base contractual rental revenue of the Property;

(ii) in the case of a Condemnation, the Condemnation does not render untenantable, or result in the cancellation of Leases covering, more than 15% of the gross rentable area of the Property;

(iii) restoration of the Property is reasonably expected to be completed prior to the expiration of rental interruption insurance and at least six months prior to the Maturity Date;

(iv) after such restoration, the fair market value of the Property is reasonably expected to equal at least the fair market value of the Property immediately prior to such Condemnation or Casualty; and

(v) all necessary approvals and consents from Governmental Authorities will be obtained to allow the rebuilding and re-occupancy of the Property;

or if Lender otherwise elects to allow Maryland Guarantor to restore the Property, then, provided no Event of Default is continuing, the Loss Proceeds after receipt thereof by Lender and reimbursement of any reasonable expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith shall be applied to the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Property or part thereof subject to the Casualty or Condemnation, in the manner set forth below (and Maryland Guarantor shall commence, as promptly and diligently as practicable, to prosecute such restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding of the Property in a workmanlike fashion and in accordance with applicable law to a status at least equivalent to the quality and character of the Property immediately prior to the Condemnation or Casualty). Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be then continuing, Lender shall disburse such Loss Proceeds to Maryland Guarantor upon Lender’s being furnished with (i) evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the estimated cost of completion of the restoration, (ii) funds, or assurances reasonably satisfactory to Lender that such funds are available and sufficient in addition to any remaining Loss Proceeds, to complete the proposed restoration (including for any reasonable costs and expenses of Lender to be incurred in administering such restoration) and for payment of the Indebtedness as it becomes due and payable during the restoration, and (iii) such architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey and such other evidences of cost, payment and performance as Lender may reasonably request; and Lender may, in any event, require that all plans and specifications for restoration reasonably estimated by Lender to exceed $500,000 be submitted to and approved by Lender prior to commencement of work (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). If Lender reasonably estimates that the cost to restore will exceed $500,000, Lender may retain a local construction consultant to inspect such work and review Maryland Guarantor’s request for payments and Maryland Guarantor shall, on demand by Lender, reimburse Lender for the reasonable fees and expenses of such consultant (which fees and expenses shall constitute Indebtedness). No payment shall exceed 90% of the value of the work performed from time to time until such time as 50% of the restoration (calculated based on the anticipated aggregate cost of the work) has been completed, and amounts retained prior to completion of 50% of the restoration shall not be paid prior to the final completion of the restoration. Funds other than Loss Proceeds shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such Loss Proceeds, and at all times the undisbursed balance of such proceeds remaining in the Loss Proceeds Account, together with any additional funds irrevocably and unconditionally deposited therein or irrevocably and unconditionally committed for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Lender to pay for the cost of completion of the restoration free and clear of all Liens or claims for Lien.

(e) Maryland Guarantor shall cooperate with Lender in obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Loss Proceeds lawfully or equitably payable to Lender in connection with the Property. Lender shall be reimbursed for any expenses reasonably incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and, if reasonably necessary to collect such proceeds, the expense of an Appraisal on behalf of Lender) out of such Loss Proceeds or, if insufficient for such purpose, by Maryland Guarantor. Maryland Guarantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender as the attorney-in-fact of Maryland Guarantor for matters in excess of $500,000.00 with respect to the Property, with full power of substitution, subject to the terms of this Section 5.16, to settle for, collect and receive all Loss Proceeds and any other awards, damages, insurance proceeds, payments or other compensation from the parties or authorities making the same, to appear in and prosecute any proceedings therefor and to give receipts and acquittance therefor (which power of attorney shall be irrevocable so long as any of the Indebtedness is outstanding, shall be deemed coupled with an interest, and shall survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Maryland Guarantor).

(f) If Maryland Guarantor is not entitled to apply Loss Proceeds toward the restoration of the Property pursuant to Section 5.16(d) and Lender elects not to permit such Loss Proceeds to be so applied, such Loss Proceeds shall be applied on the first Payment Date following such election to the prepayment of the principal of the Loan and shall be accompanied by interest through the end of the applicable Interest Accrual Period (calculated as if the amount prepaid were outstanding for the entire Interest Accrual Period). If the Note has been bifurcated into multiple Notes pursuant to Section 1.1(c), all prepayments of the Loan made by Obligor in accordance with this Section 5.16(f) shall be applied to the Notes in ascending order of interest rate (i.e., first to the Note with the lowest interest rate until its outstanding principal balance has been reduced to zero, then to the Note with the second lowest interest rate until its outstanding principal balance has been reduced to zero, and so on) or in such other order as Lender shall determine.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.16, if the Loan is included in a REMIC and immediately following a release of any portion of the applicable Property from the Lien of the Loan Documents in connection with a Casualty or Condemnation the Loan would fail to satisfy a Lender 80% Determination, then the principal of the Loan shall be prepaid in accordance with Section 5.16(f) in an amount equal to either (i) so much of the Loss Proceeds as are necessary to cause the Lender 80% Determination to be satisfied, or if the aggregate Loss Proceeds are insufficient for such purpose, then the amount realized by Maryland Guarantor from the Casualty or Condemnation for purposes of computing gain or loss under section 1001 of the Code, or (ii) a lesser amount provided Maryland Guarantor delivers to Lender an opinion of counsel for Maryland Guarantor, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and delivered by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lender, opining that such release of Property from the Lien does not cause any portion of the Loan to cease to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of section 860G(a)(3) of the Code.

Section 5.17. Annual Budget. Each calendar year during the term of the Loan, as soon as made available to Maryland Guarantor and/or Operating Lessee in accordance with the terms of Section 7.02 of the Approved Management Agreement, Maryland Guarantor or Operating Lessee shall deliver or shall cause Approved Property Manager to deliver to Lender, for informational purposes only, the Annual Budget and, promptly after preparation thereof, any

subsequent revisions to the Annual Budget. If the budget approval process under the Approved Management Agreement shall be ongoing during the continuance of a Trigger Period or an Event of Default, neither Maryland Guarantor nor Operating Lessee shall exercise any budget approval right they may have under the Approved Management Agreement without the approval of Lender, such approval not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. For so long as Lender shall withhold its consent to any Annual Budget or any revisions thereto, the Annual Budget in effect prior to any such request for approval shall remain in effect. Without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, during the continuance of a Trigger Period neither Maryland Guarantor nor Operating Lessee shall make or approve any expenditures that are either not provided for in the Approved Annual Budget or that would, in the aggregate, cause any line item in the Approved Annual Budget to be exceeded by 5% or more measured on an annual basis, other than expenditures for non-discretionary items and expenditures required to be made by reason of the occurrence of any emergency (i.e., an unexpected event that threatens imminent harm to persons or property at the Property) and with respect to which it would be impracticable, under the circumstances, to obtain Lender’s prior consent thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, decreases made or approved to any line item in the Approved Annual Budget shall not require Lender’s consent.

(i) Maryland Guarantor shall, and shall cause Operating Lessee to, comply with all material terms, conditions and covenants of each Material Agreement and each material Permitted Encumbrance, including any reciprocal easement agreement, any declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions, and any condominium arrangements.

(ii) Maryland Guarantor shall, and shall cause Operating Lessee to, promptly deliver to Lender a true, correct and complete copy of each and every notice of default received by Maryland Guarantor or Operating Lessee with respect to any obligation of such Maryland Guarantor or Operating Lessee under the provisions of any Material Agreement and/or Permitted Encumbrance.

or withhold any material consent, approval or waiver under any Material Agreement or Permitted Encumbrance without the prior written consent of Lender.

(v) Maryland Guarantor shall, and shall cause Operating Lessee to, deliver to each other party to any Permitted Encumbrance and any Material Agreement notice of the identity of Lender and each assignee of Lender of which Maryland Guarantor is aware if such notice is required in order to protect Lender’s interest thereunder.

(vi) Maryland Guarantor shall, and shall cause Operating Lessee to, enforce, short of termination thereof, the performance and observance of each and every material term, covenant and provision of each Material Agreements to be performed or observed, if any.

Section 5.20. Prohibited Persons. None of Obligor, Operating Lessee, Sponsor or any Person owning a direct or indirect beneficial interest in Obligor, Operating Lessee, or Sponsor shall (i) knowingly conduct any business, or engage in any transaction or dealing, with any Embargoed Person, including, but not limited to, the making or receiving of any contribution of funds, goods, or services, to or for the benefit of a Embargoed Person, or (ii) knowingly engage in or conspire to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in Executive Order 13224. Obligor shall deliver to Lender from time to time written certification or other evidence as may be reasonably requested by Lender, confirming that (x) none of Obligor, Operating Lessee, Sponsor or, to Obligor’s knowledge, any Person owning a direct or indirect beneficial interest in Obligor, Operating Lessee, or Sponsor is an Embargoed Person and (y) none of Obligor, Operating Lessee, Sponsor or, to Obligor’s knowledge, any Person owning a direct or indirect beneficial interest in Obligor, Operating Lessee, or Sponsor has knowingly engaged in any business, transaction or dealings with a Embargoed Person, including, but not limited to, the making or receiving of any contribution of funds, goods, or services, to or for the benefit of a Embargoed Person.

Section 5.21. Operating Lease.

(i) Maryland Guarantor shall cause Operating Lessee to comply with the affirmative and negative covenants contained in this Agreement as if Operating Lessee were an Obligor hereunder and no Default hereunder shall be excused by virtue of the fact that such Default was caused by Operating Lessee.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Documents or in the Operating Lease, during the continuance of an Event of Default (but only after Lender shall have exercised its rights and remedies under the Mortgage), Lender may, at its sole option and regardless of whether Operating Lessee is in default or compliance with the terms of the Operating Lease, terminate the Operating Lease without payment of any termination fee, penalty or other amount (the parties hereto agreeing that any such fee, penalty or other amount shall be solely the obligation of Sponsor and shall be paid by Sponsor or an affiliate of Sponsor other than Obligor or Operating Lessee).

(c) Within three (3) Business Days of the date on which all Capital Plan Components shall have been completed (such date, the “Capital Plan Completion Date”), Maryland Guarantor shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Maryland Guarantor FF&E Account funds equal to the amount, if any, by which the Capital Plan Minimum Expenditure exceeds the amount expended by Maryland Guarantor in connection with the Capital Plan as of the Capital Plan Completion Date.

(d) Maryland Guarantor shall, if required to do so under applicable Legal Requirements, obtain a new certificate of occupancy for the Property in connection with the Capital Plan or any future renovations. Maryland Guarantor shall deliver a copy of any such new certificate of occupancy, promptly, and in no case later than three Business Days after receipt thereof.

violation provided that cure is commenced within such initial 30 day period and thereafter diligently and continuously pursued.

(k) Operating Lease. The Operating Lease shall no longer be in effect for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, expiration of the Operating Lease by its terms absent renewal or extension of the Operating Lease.

Section 7.2. Remedies.

(a) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may by written notice to Borrower, in addition to any other rights or remedies available pursuant to this Agreement, the Notes (or, with respect to Maryland Guarantor, the Maryland Guaranty), the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, at law or in equity, declare by written notice to Borrower all or any portion of the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable, whereupon all or such portion of the Indebtedness shall so become due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Obligor and the Collateral (including all rights or remedies available at law or in equity); provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in paragraph 7.1(d) shall occur, then the Indebtedness shall immediately become due and payable without the giving of any notice or other action by Lender. Any actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents.

(b) If Lender forecloses on the Property, Lender shall apply all net proceeds of such foreclosure to repay the Indebtedness, the Indebtedness shall be reduced to the extent of such net proceeds and the remaining portion of the Indebtedness shall remain outstanding and

secured by the Property and the other Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed by Borrower that Borrower is liable for the repayment of all the Indebtedness; provided, however, that at the election of Lender, the Notes shall be deemed to have been accelerated only to the extent of the net proceeds actually received by Lender with respect to the Property and applied in reduction of the Indebtedness.

(c) During the continuance of any Event of Default (including an Event of Default resulting from a failure to satisfy the insurance requirements specified herein), Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Obligor and without releasing Obligor from any obligation hereunder, take any action to cure such Event of Default. Lender may enter upon any or all of the Property upon reasonable notice to Maryland Guarantor for such purposes or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Collateral or to foreclose the Mortgage or collect the Indebtedness. The costs and expenses incurred by Lender in exercising rights under this Section (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), with interest at the Default Rate for the period after notice from Lender that such costs or expenses were incurred to the date of payment to Lender, shall constitute a portion of the Indebtedness, shall be secured by the Mortgage and other Loan Documents and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand therefor.

(d) Interest shall accrue on any judgment obtained by Lender in connection with its enforcement of the Loan at a rate of interest equal to the Default Rate.

Section 7.3. No Waiver. 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 by Lender to be expedient. A waiver of any 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.

Section 7.4. Application of Payments after an Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts received by Lender in respect of the Loan shall be applied at Lender’s sole discretion either toward the components of the Indebtedness (e.g., Lender’s expenses in enforcing the Loan, interest, principal and other amounts payable hereunder) and the Notes in such sequence as Lender shall elect in its sole discretion, or toward the payment of Property expenses.

Section 9.5. TRIAL BY JURY. LENDER, OBLIGOR, OPERATING LESSEE AND SPONSOR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THAT THEY MAY LAWFULLY DO SO, HEREBY AGREE NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVE 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 LENDER, OBLIGOR, OPERATING LESSEE AND SPONSOR AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. LENDER, OBLIGOR, OPERATING LESSEE AND/OR SPONSOR ARE HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY OBLIGOR, OPERATING LESSEE AND SPONSOR.

Section 9.6. Headings. The Article and Section headings in this Agreement are included in this Agreement for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

Section 9.7. Assignment and Participation.

(a) Except as explicitly set forth in Sections 2.1 and 2.2, Obligor may not sell, assign or transfer any interest in the Loan Documents or any portion thereof (including Obligor’s rights, title, interests, remedies, powers and duties hereunder and thereunder).

(b) Lender and each assignee of all or a portion of the Loan shall have the right from time to time in its discretion to sell one or more of the Notes or any interest therein (an “Assignment”) and/or sell a participation interest in one or more of the Notes (a “Participation”). Obligor agrees to reasonably cooperate with Lender, at Lender’s request, in order to effectuate any such Assignment or Participation, and Obligor shall promptly provide such information, legal opinions and documents relating to Obligor, any Single-Purpose Equityholder, Sponsor, the Property, the Approved Property Manager and any Tenants as Lender may reasonably request in connection with such Assignment or Participation. In the case of an Assignment, (i) each assignee shall have, to the extent of such Assignment, the rights, benefits and obligations of the assigning Lender as a “Lender” hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (ii) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to an Assignment, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) one Lender shall serve as agent for all Lenders and shall be the sole Lender to whom notices, requests and other communications shall be addressed and the sole party authorized to grant or withhold consents hereunder on behalf of the Lenders (subject, in each

case, to appointment of a Servicer, pursuant to Section 9.22, to receive such notices, requests and other communications and/or to grant or withhold consents, as the case may be) and to be the sole Lender to designate the account to which payments shall be made by Borrower to the Lenders hereunder. Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company or, upon the appointment of a Servicer, such Servicer, shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, as agent for Borrower, a register on which it shall enter the name or names of the registered owner or owners from time to time of the Notes. Borrower agrees that upon effectiveness of any Assignment of any Note in part, Borrower will promptly provide to the assignor and the assignee separate promissory notes in the amount of their respective interests (but, if applicable, with a notation thereon that it is given in substitution for and replacement of an original Note or any replacement thereof), and otherwise in the form of such Note, upon return of the Note then being replaced. The assigning Lender shall notify in writing each of the other Lenders of any Assignment. Each potential or actual assignee, participant or investor in a Securitization, and each Rating Agency, shall be entitled to receive all information received by Lender under this Agreement. After the effectiveness of any Assignment, the party conveying the Assignment shall provide notice to Borrower and each Lender of the identity and address of the assignee. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, after an Assignment, the assigning Lender (in addition to the assignee) shall continue to have the benefits of any indemnifications contained in this Agreement that such assigning Lender had prior to such assignment with respect to matters occurring prior to the date of such assignment.

(c) If, pursuant to this Section 9.7, any interest in this Agreement or any Note is transferred to any transferee that is not a U.S. Person, the transferor Lender shall cause such transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, (i) to furnish to the transferor Lender either Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI or any other form in order to establish an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, U.S. withholding tax on all interest payments hereunder, and (ii) to agree (for the benefit of Lender and Obligor) to provide the transferor Lender a new Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI or any forms reasonably requested in order to establish an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, U.S. withholding tax upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and completed by such transferee, and to comply from time to time with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations with regard to such withholding tax exemption.

Section 9.8. 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 9.9. Preferences; Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. Lender shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Obligor or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the obligations of Obligor pursuant to this Agreement, the Notes, the Maryland Guaranty or any other Loan Document. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Obligor to any portion of the obligations of Obligor hereunder and under the Loan Documents. To the extent Obligor makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any portion 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 portion 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. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Obligor, for itself and its permitted successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Obligor, and Obligor’s partners and others with interests in Obligor, 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 Indebtedness without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Indebtedness out of the net proceeds of the Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Obligor, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, any legal right otherwise available to Obligor that would require the separate sale of any Collateral or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Collateral before proceeding against any other Collateral; and further in the event of such foreclosure, Obligor does hereby expressly consent to and authorize, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Collateral.

Section 9.10. Remedies of Obligor. If a claim is made that Lender or its agents have unreasonably delayed acting or acted unreasonably in any case where by law or under this Agreement, the Notes, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, any of such Persons has an obligation to act promptly or reasonably, Obligor agrees that no such Person shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Obligor’s sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an action seeking specific performance, injunctive relief and/or declaratory judgment. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, Obligor shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against Lender and/or its affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents, on any theory of liability, for direct, special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, as a result of, or in any way related to, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and Obligor hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Section 9.11. Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (or made by Maryland Guarantor under the Maryland Guaranty) shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction for, any setoffs or counterclaims. Obligor waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender arising out of or in any way connected with the Notes, the Maryland Guaranty (with respect to Maryland Guarantor), this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Indebtedness. Any assignee of

Lender’s interest in the Loan shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses that are unrelated to the Loan.

Section 9.12. No Joint Venture. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Obligor and Lender, nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee or lender.

Section 9.13. Conflict; Construction of Documents. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Notes, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.

Section 9.14. Brokers and Financial Advisors. Obligor and Sponsor each represent that they have dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Obligor and Sponsor each agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Obligor in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 9.14 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Indebtedness.

Section 9.15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Any counterpart delivered by facsimile, pdf or other electronic means shall have the same import and effect as original counterparts and shall be valid, enforceable and binding for the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 9.16. Estoppel Certificates.

(a) Obligor agrees at any time and from time to time, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender, within five days after receipt of Lender’s written request therefor, a statement in writing setting forth (A) the Principal Indebtedness, (B) the date on which installments of interest and/or principal were last paid, (C) any offsets or defenses to the payment of the Indebtedness, (D) that the Notes, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents are valid, legal and binding obligations and have not been modified or if modified, giving particulars of such modification, (E) that neither Obligor nor, to Obligor’s knowledge, Lender, is in default under the Loan Documents (or specifying any such default), (F) that all Leases are in full force and effect and have not been modified (except in accordance with the Loan Documents), (G) whether or not any of the Tenants under the Leases are in material default under the Leases (setting forth the specific nature of any such material defaults) and (H) such other matters as Lender may reasonably request. Any prospective purchaser of any interest in a Loan shall be permitted to rely on such certificate.

(b) Upon Lender’s written request, Maryland Guarantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from each Tenant whose Lease requires such Tenant to execute and deliver an estoppel certificate, and shall thereafter promptly deliver to Lender duly

executed estoppel certificates from any one or more Tenants under the Leases as requested by Lender, attesting to such facts regarding the Leases as Lender may reasonably require, including, but not limited to, attestations that each Lease covered thereby is in full force and effect with no material defaults thereunder on the part of any party, that rent has not been paid more than one month in advance, except as security, and that the Tenant claims no defense or offset against the full and timely performance of its obligations under the Lease. Maryland Guarantor shall not be required to deliver such certificates more frequently than one time in any 12-month period, other than the 12-month period during which a Securitization occurs or is attempted.

Section 9.17. General Indemnity; Payment of Expenses; Mortgage Recording Taxes.

(a) Obligor, at its sole cost and expense, shall protect, indemnify, reimburse, defend and hold harmless Lender and its officers, partners, members, directors, trustees, advisors, employees, agents, sub-agents, affiliates, successors, participants and assigns of any and all of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) for, from and against, and shall be responsible for, any and all Damages of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties arising out of (i) any negligence or tortious act or omission on the part of Obligor, Operating Lessee, Sponsor or any of their respective agents, contractors, servants, employees, sublessees, licensees or invitees; (ii) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (iii) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or about the Property any part thereof or on adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (iv) any failure on the part of Obligor, Operating Lessee or Sponsor to perform or comply with any of the terms of the Loan Documents; (v) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Property or any part thereof; (vi) any failure of the Property, Maryland Guarantor, Operating Lessee or Sponsor to comply with any Legal Requirements; (vii) any claim by brokers, finders or similar persons claiming to be entitled to a commission in connection with any lease or other transaction involving the Property or any part thereof under any legal requirement or any liability asserted against any Indemnified Party with respect thereto; and (viii) any and all claims and demands whatsoever that may be asserted against any Indemnified Party by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on such party’s part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants, or agreements contained in any Lease, in each case, to the extent resulting, directly or indirectly, from any claim (including any Environmental Claim) made (whether or not in connection with any legal action, suit, or proceeding) by or on behalf of any Person; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder to the extent that such Damages have been found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.

(b) If for any reason (including violation of law or public policy) the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 9.17 are unenforceable in whole or in part or are otherwise unavailable to Lender or insufficient to hold it harmless, then Obligor shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by Lender as a result of any Damages the maximum amount Obligor is permitted to pay under Legal Requirements. The

obligations of Obligor under this Section 9.17 will be in addition to any liability that Obligor may otherwise have hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, will extend upon the same terms and conditions to any affiliate of Lender and the partners, members, directors, agents, employees and controlling persons (if any), as the case may be, of Lender and any such affiliate, and will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of Obligor, Lender, any such affiliate and any such person.

(c) At the option of the Indemnified Parties and in their sole discretion, upon written request by any Indemnified Party, Obligor shall defend such Indemnified Party (if requested by any Indemnified Party, in the name of the Indemnified Party) by attorneys and other professionals reasonably approved by such Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Indemnified Party may engage its own attorneys and other professionals to defend or assist it (chosen at Lender’s sole discretion), and, at the option of such Indemnified Party, its attorneys shall control the resolution of any claim or proceeding. Upon demand, Obligor shall pay or, in the sole discretion of the Indemnified Parties, reimburse, the Indemnified Parties for the payment of reasonable and actual fees and disbursements of attorneys, engineers, environmental consultants, laboratories and other professionals in connection therewith.

(d) Any amounts payable to Lender by reason of the application of this Section 9.17 shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall become immediately due and payable and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date Damages are sustained by the Indemnified Parties until paid.

(e) The provisions of and undertakings and indemnification set forth in this Section 9.17 shall survive the satisfaction and payment in full of the Indebtedness and termination of this Agreement.

(f) Obligor shall reimburse Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for (i) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender (or any of its affiliates) in connection with the Transaction and the origination of the Loan, including legal fees and disbursements, fees of auditors and consultants, accounting fees, and the costs of the Appraisal, the Engineering Report, the Qualified Title Insurance Policy, the Qualified Survey, the Environmental Report and any other third-party diligence materials; (ii) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender (or any of its affiliates) in connection with (A) monitoring Obligor’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Obligor’s agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements, (B) 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 Obligor or by Lender (including Leases, Material Agreements, and Permitted Encumbrances), (C) filing, registration or recording fees and expenses and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including the filing, registration or recording of any instrument of further assurance) and all federal, state, county and municipal, taxes (including, if applicable, intangible taxes), search fees, title insurance premiums, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, any mortgage supplemental thereto, any

security instrument with respect to the Collateral or any instrument of further assurance, (D) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Obligor, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any Collateral and (E) the satisfaction of the Rating Condition required or requested by Obligor hereunder; and (iii) all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees and, if the Loan has been Securitized, special servicing fees) incurred by Lender (or any of its affiliates) in connection with the enforcement of any obligations of Obligor, or a Default by Obligor, under the Loan Documents, including any actual or attempted foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, refinancing, restructuring, settlement or workout and any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings (including any applicable transfer taxes).

Section 9.18. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Obligor, and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender, Obligor and Indemnified Parties 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 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 in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof, and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

Section 9.19. Recourse.

(a) Except for any indemnification by Obligor under this Agreement, the Maryland Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents, the Loan shall not be recourse to Maryland Guarantor and, subject to Section 9.19(c), Lender’s recourse shall be solely to Borrower, the Property and the Collateral, except as set forth below. In addition, no recourse shall be had for the Loan against any other Person, including any affiliate of Obligor or any officer, director, partner or equityholder of Obligor or any such affiliate, unless expressly set forth in a Loan Document or other written agreement to which such Person is a party.

(b) Obligor shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all Damages to Lender (including the legal and other expenses of enforcing the obligations of Obligor under this Section 9.19, Maryland Guarantor under the Maryland Guaranty and the Sponsor under the Guaranty and the Completion Guaranty) resulting from or arising out of any of the following (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), which Indemnified Liabilities shall be guaranteed by Sponsor pursuant to the Guaranty:

(i) any intentional or grossly negligent physical Waste with respect to the Property or FF&E committed or permitted by Obligor, Operating Lessee, the Sponsor or any of their respective affiliates;

(ii) any fraud or intentional misrepresentation committed by Obligor, Operating Lessee, the Sponsor or any of their respective affiliates;

(iii) any willful misconduct by Obligor, Operating Lessee, the Sponsor or any of their respective affiliates in violation of the Loan Documents (including wrongful interference by any such Person with the exercise of remedies by Lender during the continuance of an Event of Default);

(iv) the misappropriation or misapplication by Obligor, Operating Lessee, the Sponsor or any of their respective affiliates of any funds in violation of the Loan Documents (including misappropriation or misapplication of Revenues, security deposits and/or Loss Proceeds and the violation of the last sentence of Section 5.7(d));

(v) voluntary Debt prohibited hereunder, provided that, for the purpose of this clause (v), Debt will be regarded as voluntary if such Debt is incurred voluntarily or incurred involuntarily and not repaid despite the availability of sufficient cash flow from the Property;

(vi) any breach by Obligor, Operating Lessee or the Sponsor of any representation or covenant regarding environmental matters contained in this Agreement or in the Environmental Indemnity;

(vii) the failure to pay or maintain the Policies or pay the amount of any deductible required thereunder following a Casualty or other insurance claim, provided Lender permits cash flow from the Property to be applied for such purpose;

(viii) the failure of any Obligor or Operating Lessee to be, and to at all times have been, a Single-Purpose Entity;

(ix) removal of personal property or FF&E from the Property during or in anticipation of an Event of Default, unless replaced with personal property or FF&E, as applicable, of the same utility and of the same or greater value and utility;

(x) any fees or commissions paid by Obligor or Operating Lessee to any affiliate in violation of the terms of the Loan Documents;

(xi) any bankruptcy of any Obligor or Operating Lessee, provided that, for the purpose of this clause (xi) “Damages” shall be limited to the amount by which such costs and expenses exceed the costs and expenses Lender would have incurred in an uncontested foreclosure on the Property (for the avoidance of doubt, the recourse described in this clause shall be in addition to the full recourse for bankruptcy described below);

(xii) the failure of Maryland Guarantor to maintain the required account balance in the Maryland Guarantor FF&E Account (it being agreed that Damages in such event shall include the amount of any funds not deposited to the Maryland Guarantor FF&E Account);

(xiii) any and all liabilities, contingent or otherwise, arising from or related to (x) the actions, conduct and/or operating history of Obligor (or any Person merged into Obligor) prior to the Closing Date and (y) Obligor’s ownership (or the ownership of any Person merged into Obligor) of assets prior to the Closing Date that do not constitute a portion of the Collateral;

(xiv) the use of an IDOT structure (i.e., the ownership of the Property by Maryland Guarantor rather than by Borrower) in the origination of the Loan (it being agreed that Damages in such event shall include any increased costs and expenses of Lender in connection with foreclosure on the Property due to the IDOT structure); and

(xv) any breach by Maryland Guarantor or Operating Lessee of any representation or covenant contained in the Subordination of Operating Lease.

In addition to the foregoing, the Loan shall be fully recourse to Obligor and Sponsor, jointly and severally, upon (i) any unauthorized Transfer of the Property, unauthorized transfer of any of the Collateral (including unauthorized Liens and encumbrances on the Collateral) or Change of Control, in each case, in violation of the Loan Documents, (ii) the occurrence of any filing by any Obligor or Operating Lessee under the Bankruptcy Code or any joining or colluding by any Obligor, Operating Lessee or any of their respective affiliates (including Sponsor) in the filing of an involuntary case in respect of any Obligor or Operating Lessee under the Bankruptcy Code (provided, however, that if such involuntary case is dismissed within 60 days of such filing the Loan shall not be fully recourse to Obligor and Sponsor, however Obligor and Sponsor shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all Damages to Lender arising from or related to the filing of such involuntary case) or (iii) the failure of any Obligor to be, and to at all times have been, a Single-Purpose Entity, which failure results in a substantive consolidation of such Obligor with any affiliate in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding (or the filing of a motion for substantive consolidation in bankruptcy citing any such failure, provided, however, that if such motion is dismissed within 60 days of filing the Loan shall not be fully recourse to Obligor and Sponsor, however Obligor and Sponsor shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all Damages to Lender arising from or related to such motion). The Loan shall be fully recourse to Sponsor in an amount equal to its unpaid Guaranteed Obligations (as such term is defined in the Completion Guaranty) under the Completion Guaranty.

(c) The foregoing limitations on personal liability shall in no way impair or constitute a waiver of the validity of the Notes, the Indebtedness secured by the Collateral, or the Liens on the Collateral, or the right of Lender, as mortgagee or secured party, to foreclose and/or enforce its rights with respect to the Collateral after an Event of Default. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right which Lender may have under the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the debt owing to Lender by Borrower or to require that all Collateral shall continue to secure all of the Indebtedness owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents. Lender may seek a judgment on the Note (and, if necessary, name Borrower in such suit) as part of judicial proceedings to foreclose under the Mortgage or to foreclose pursuant to any other Loan Documents, or as a prerequisite to any such foreclosure or to confirm any foreclosure or sale pursuant to power of sale thereunder, and in the event any suit is brought on the Notes, or with respect to any Indebtedness or any judgment

rendered in such judicial proceedings, such judgment shall constitute a Lien on and will be and can be enforced on and against the Collateral and the rents, profits, issues, products and proceeds thereof. Nothing in this Agreement shall impair the right of Lender to accelerate the maturity of the Note upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, nor shall anything in this Agreement impair or be construed to impair the right of Lender to seek personal judgments, and to enforce all rights and remedies under applicable law, jointly and severally against any guarantors to the extent allowed by any applicable guarantees. The provisions set forth in this Section 9.19 are not intended as a release or discharge of the obligations due under the Note or under any Loan Documents, but are intended as a limitation, to the extent provided in this Section, on Lender’s right to sue for a deficiency or seek a personal judgment against Borrower or Sponsor except as required in order to realize on the Collateral.

Section 9.20. Right of Set-Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind (all of such rights being hereby expressly waived), set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by Lender (including branches, agencies or affiliates of Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of Obligor against the obligations and liabilities of Obligor to Lender hereunder, under the Notes, the Maryland Guaranty, the other Loan Documents or otherwise, irrespective of whether Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although such obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured, and any such set-off shall be deemed to have been made immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default even though such charge is made or entered on the books of Lender subsequent thereto.

Section 9.21. Exculpation of Lender. Lender neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Obligor or any other party to select, review, inspect, examine, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Obligor or any third party of (a) the existence, quality, adequacy or suitability of Appraisals of the Property or other Collateral, (b) any environmental report, or (c) any other matters or items, including engineering, soils and seismic reports that are contemplated in the Loan Documents. Any such selection, review, inspection, examination and the like, and any other due diligence conducted by Lender, is solely for the purpose of protecting Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents, and shall not render Lender liable to Obligor or any third party for the existence, sufficiency, accuracy, completeness or legality thereof.

Section 9.24. Obligor Information. Obligor shall make available to Lender all information concerning its business and operations that Lender may reasonably request, provided that disclosure of such information does not and will not violate any securities laws or violate the terms of any confidentiality agreement between Obligor and/or any affiliate of Obligor on the one hand, and any third party, on the other hand.

In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

In the event of any payment by Borrower of any amount due to Lender under this Agreement, Borrower shall be entitled, after payment in full of the Note and the satisfaction of all the Obligor’s other obligations to the Lender under the Loan Documents, to contribution from Maryland Guarantor
