(i)    that certain Promissory Note A-1 of even date herewith, in the stated principal amount of Ninety Million and No/100 Dollars ($90,000,000.00) executed by Borrower and payable to the order of KeyBank (as the same may hereafter be amended, supplemented, restated, replaced, increased, extended or consolidated from time to time, the “ Note A-1 ”); and

(D)      Security for the Mortgage Loan . Without limitation, the Note and Borrower’s obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (other than the Environmental Indemnity) shall be secured by the Security Instrument.

Section 2.2.     Interest .

(A)      Rate of Interest . Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue interest at the Interest Rate applicable to each Component of the Loan. Except as herein provided with respect to interest accruing at the Default Rate, subject to Section  2.2(C) , interest on each Component outstanding from time to time, subject to Section  2.2(D) , shall accrue at the Floating Interest Rate from (and including) the Closing Date until (and including) the Maturity Date. The Floating Interest Rate applicable to an Interest Period shall be determined by Lender as set forth herein; provided, however , that LIBOR for the Interest Period commencing on the Closing Date through and including February 14, 2019 shall be 2.519%. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date the interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan for the related Interest Period.

(B)      Computation of Interest . Interest on the outstanding principal balance of each Component of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant Interest Period for which such calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on the Interest Rate applicable to such Component and a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the outstanding principal balance of such Component. The accrual period for calculating interest due on each Payment Date shall be the Interest Period in which such Payment Date occurs.

(C)      Interest Laws . Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in the Note or the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall not be required to pay, and Lender shall not be permitted to collect, any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by law (the “ Excess Interest ”). If any Excess Interest is provided for, whether in the Interest Rate, the Default Rate, through any contingency or event, or otherwise, or is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been provided for herein or in the Note or in any of the other Loan Documents, then in such event: (1) the provisions of this subsection shall govern and control; (2) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay

Page 34

any Excess Interest; (3) any Excess Interest that Lender may have received hereunder shall be, at Lender’s option, to the fullest extent provided by applicable law: (a) applied as a credit against either or both of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan or accrued and unpaid interest thereunder (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law), (b) refunded to the payor thereof, or (c) any combination of the foregoing; (4) the Interest Rate provided for herein shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful rate allowed from time to time under applicable law (the “ Maximum Rate ”), and this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction; and (5) Borrower shall not have any action against Lender for any damages arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest except for such damages determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any Obligation is calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate under the Note, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on such Obligations shall, to the extent permitted by law, remain at the Maximum Rate until Lender shall have received or accrued the amount of interest which Lender would have received or accrued during such period on Obligations had the rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period. If the Default Rate shall be finally determined to be unlawful, then the applicable Interest Rate shall be applicable during any time when the Default Rate would have been applicable hereunder, provided however that if the Maximum Rate is greater or lesser than the applicable Interest Rate, then the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall apply.

(D)      Determination of Interest Rate .

(i)    In the event that Lender shall have reasonably determined that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market or otherwise LIBOR cannot be determined as provided in the definition of LIBOR as set forth herein and the Loan has not been converted to an Alternate Rate Loan in accordance with Section  2.2(D)(v) below, then Lender shall forthwith give notice thereof by telephone of such fact, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the next succeeding Determination Date. Subject to Section  2.2(D)(v) below, if such notice is given, the Loan shall be converted, from and after the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, to a Prime Rate Loan bearing interest based on the Prime Rate in effect on each applicable Determination Date.

(ii)    If, pursuant to the terms of Section  2.2(D)(i) above, the Loan has been converted to a Prime Rate Loan but thereafter:

(a)    LIBOR can again be determined as provided in the definition of LIBOR as set forth herein, Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower and convert the Prime Rate Loan back to a Floating Interest Rate Loan by delivering to Borrower notice of such conversion no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City Time), one (1) Business Day prior to the next succeeding Determination Date, and the Loan shall be converted to a Floating Interest Rate Loan, from, after and including the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period.

(b)    Lender has determined in good faith that LIBOR has been succeeded by an Alternate Index and such Alternate Index can be determined, then the Prime Rate Loan shall be converted to an Alternate Rate Loan, in accordance with, and subject to, the requirements set forth in Section  2.2(D)(v) , provided for purposes of this Section  2.2(D)(ii)(b) , all references to “Floating Interest Rate Loan” in Section  2.2(D)(v) shall be deemed to refer to such converted Prime Rate Loan.

(c)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to elect to convert (i) a Floating Interest Rate Loan to a Prime Rate Loan or an Alternate Rate Loan, (ii) a Prime Rate Loan to a Floating Interest Rate Loan or an Alternate Rate Loan or (iii) an Alternate Rate Loan to a Floating Interest Rate Loan or a Prime Rate Loan.

Page 35

(iii)    If, pursuant to the terms of Section  2.2(D)(v) below, the Loan has been converted to an Alternate Rate Loan but thereafter Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the Alternate Index cannot be ascertained as provided in the definition thereof, then Lender shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the next succeeding Determination Date. If such notice is given, the Alternate Rate Loan shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, to a Prime Rate Loan. If following such conversion to a Prime Rate Loan, the Alternate Index can again be determined, then Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower and convert the Prime Rate Loan back to an Alternate Rate Loan by delivering to Borrower notice of such conversion no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City Time), one (1) Business Day prior to the next succeeding Determination Date, and the Prime Rate Loan shall be converted to an Alternate Rate Loan, from, after and including the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to elect to convert an Alternate Rate Loan to a Prime Rate Loan.

(iv)    If the adoption of any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a Floating Interest Rate Loan as contemplated hereunder, (i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make a Floating Interest Rate Loan or to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a Floating Interest Rate Loan shall be canceled forthwith and (ii) any outstanding Floating Interest Rate Loan shall be converted automatically to a Prime Rate Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period or within such earlier period as required by law. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any actual costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any actual and documented interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the Floating Interest Rate Loan hereunder. Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(v)    If at any time the Loan is outstanding as a Floating Interest Rate Loan and Lender has determined in good faith that LIBOR cannot be determined and LIBOR has been succeeded by an Alternate Index (an “ Alternate Index Determination ”), then the Loan shall be converted from a Floating Interest Rate Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan, provided that, following any rated Securitization, such conversion shall be subject to Lender’s receipt of: A) a REMIC Opinion as to the compliance of such conversion with the REMIC Requirements, and (B) a Rating Agency Confirmation in connection with such conversion (clauses (A) and (B), each an “ Alternate Rate Condition ”). Lender shall provide Borrower with written notice following the making of an Alternate Index Determination and, if any rated Securitization has occurred, shall promptly request the Rating Agency Confirmation described in clause (B) immediately above in the manner prescribed by the servicing agreement with respect to the Loan. Lender shall provide notice of (1) prior to any rated Securitization, the Alternate Index Determination and (2) following any rated Securitization and upon satisfaction of the Alternate Rate Condition, that the Alternate Rate Condition has been satisfied by giving notice of such determination in writing to Borrower at least two (2) Business Days prior to the next succeeding Determination Date. If such notice is given, the Loan shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, to an Alternate Rate Loan in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to convert a Floating Interest Rate Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan, or to convert an Alternate Rate Loan to a Floating Interest Rate Loan or a Prime Rate Loan.

Page 36

(E)      Breakage Indemnity . Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender actually sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on a Floating Interest Rate Loan, including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to third-party lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a Floating Interest Rate Loan hereunder, (ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the Floating Interest Rate Loan on a day that (A) is not a Payment Date or (B) is a Payment Date if Borrower did not give the prior written notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, such actual loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to third-party lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Floating Interest Rate Loan hereunder and (iii) the conversion pursuant to the terms hereof of the Floating Interest Rate Loan to the Prime Rate Loan or an Alternate Rate Loan on a date other than the Payment Date, including, without limitation, such actual loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to third-party lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a Floating Interest Rate Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein referred to collectively as the “ Breakage Costs ”); provided , however , Borrower shall not indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. This provision shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 2.3.     Payments .

(A)      Monthly Debt Service Payments . On the Closing Date, Borrower shall make a payment of interest only on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan for the period commencing on and including the Closing Date through and including February 14, 2019. On March 9, 2019 and each subsequent Payment Date thereafter up to and including the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount. For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating Interest Periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately succeeding Business Day and with respect to payments of principal of the Loan due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, through and including the last day of the related Interest Period. So long as no Event of Default exists, the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount will be applied pro rata and pari passu between Note A-1 and Note A-2 and, if the Loan has been divided into two or more Components, so long as no Event of Default exists, each Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount shall be applied among the Components in the order of priority specified in the related Componentization Notice with respect to such Components. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount to the Note and among the Components in any order or priority that Lender shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion.

(B)      Date and Time of Payment . Borrower shall receive credit for payments on the Loan which are transferred to the account of Lender as provided below (i) on the day that such funds are received by Lender if such receipt occurs by 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on such day, or (ii) on the next succeeding Business Day after such funds are received by Lender if such receipt occurs after 3:00 p.m. (New York time). Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

(C)      Manner of Payment . Borrower promises to pay all of the Obligations relating to the Loan as such amounts become due or are declared due pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. All payments by Borrower on the Loan or otherwise under the Loan Documents shall be made without deduction, defense, set off or counterclaim and in immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States of America at such place or places, including such account or accounts, as Lender shall from time to time designate.

Page 37

(D)      Change of Payment Date and Interest Period . Lender shall have the right, to be exercised not more than twice during the term of the Loan, by not less than thirty (30) days’ written notice to Borrower, to change the Payment Date for each month thereafter. The amount of interest (or principal and interest) due on each Payment Date as so rescheduled shall be the same as the amount of interest (or principal and interest) that shall have been due on each Payment Date as originally scheduled, except that for the month in which the first rescheduled Payment Date occurs, the payment due shall be adjusted to reflect the accrual of interest over the actual number of days elapsed from and including the prior Payment Date to the first rescheduled Payment Date. If the Payment Date is changed in accordance with the foregoing, then (i) the period from the last Payment Date which occurs as originally scheduled to the first rescheduled Payment Date shall constitute an Interest Period, and (ii) thereafter, an Interest Period shall begin on each rescheduled Payment Date and end on the day prior to the rescheduled Payment Date in the following calendar month, and (iii) at Lender’s option, the Maturity Date shall be changed within the same month as originally scheduled, to the day having the same numerical date as the rescheduled Payment Date in the preceding month.

Section 2.4.     Maturity Date; Extensions .

(A)      Borrower’s Extension Rights . Borrower shall have two consecutive options (each an “ Extension Option ”) to extend the scheduled Maturity Date for one year each (each twelve month period, referred to herein as an “ Extension Period ”), to the First Extended Maturity Date or Second Extended Maturity Date, as applicable. Each such Extension Option shall be exercised, if at all, only by Borrower’s delivering to Lender written notice duly executed by Borrower, stating that Borrower thereby exercises its option to extend the scheduled Maturity Date, which notice shall be received by Lender at least sixty (60) (but not more than ninety (90)) days prior to, as applicable, the Stated Maturity Date (with respect to the exercise of the first Extension Option) or the First Extended Maturity Date (with respect to the exercise of the second Extension Option). A separate written notice and Extension Fee (paid on or prior to the commencement of the Extension Period) shall be required for the exercise of each of the Extension Options. In addition to timely notice, the following shall be conditions to Borrower’s right to exercise each and every Extension Option:

(i)    No Event of Default shall exist at the time when the extension notice is received by Lender, nor at any time thereafter through and including the Stated Maturity Date or the First Extended Maturity Date, as applicable;

(ii)    In the case of: (x) the extension of the scheduled Maturity Date to the First Extended Maturity Date, the Debt Yield as reasonably determined by Lender as of the Stated Maturity Date, shall be not less than seven and one-half percent (7.5%) and (y) the extension of the scheduled Maturity Date from First Extended Maturity Date to the Second Extended Maturity Date, the Debt Yield as reasonably determined by Lender as of the First Extended Maturity Date, shall be not less than eight percent (8.0%);

(iii)    Borrower shall pay to Lender the Extension Fee on or before the commencement of the applicable Extension Period;

(iv)    Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender on the first day of each Extension Period, one or more Interest Rate Cap Agreements, which shall be an Interest Rate Cap Agreement from an Acceptable Counterparty in a notional amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan, which Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall have a Strike Price equal to the Extension Strike Price and be effective commencing not later than the first date of such Extension Term and shall have a maturity date not earlier than the First Extended Maturity Date or the Second Extended Maturity Date, as applicable, together with a new Assignment of Cap (which shall be consented to by the Acceptable Counterparty);

Page 38

(v)    The second Extension Option to extend the scheduled Maturity Date to the Second Extended Maturity Date may not and shall not be exercisable or validly exercised unless the schedule Maturity Date shall have been extended to the first Extended Maturity Date;

(vi)    If the Mezzanine Loan is then outstanding, Mezzanine Borrower shall have exercised the applicable extension option to extend the Mezzanine Loan in accordance with the Mezzanine Loan Documents and the term of the Mezzanine Loan shall have been extended in accordance therewith;

(vii)    Borrower shall have reimbursed Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by Lender in connection with the requested extension; and

(viii)    Borrower shall promptly provide such evidence of satisfaction of the conditions to such extension as Lender may reasonably require.

If Borrower does not satisfy the Debt Yield condition set forth in clause (ii) above with respect to any Extension Option, then Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied such condition if Borrower makes a prepayment of the Loan in accordance with Section  2.8(A) (together with any prepayment made by Mezzanine Lender of the Mezzanine Loan in accordance with the Mezzanine Loan Agreement, provided that no prepayment of the Mezzanine Loan may be made without a contemporaneous pro rata prepayment of the Loan) before the first day of the applicable Extension Period in the aggregate amount equal to or greater than the amount that is required to increase the Debt Yield to the minimum Debt Yield required pursuant to clause (ii) above.

If the Extension Option shall be validly exercised, but the extension shall not occur because any condition shall not be satisfied, then the Extension Fee shall be returned to Borrower so long as no Event of Default exists. Regardless of whether the extension conditions are satisfied, Borrower shall reimburse Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by Lender in connection with the requested extension.

(B)      Obligation to Repay on Maturity Date . To the extent not sooner due and payable in accordance with the Loan Documents, the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other sums then owing to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

Section  2.5.      Default Rate . Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence of an Event of Default and for so long as such Event of Default continues and in any event from and after the maturity of the Loan, the Loan and all other Obligations shall bear interest until paid in full at a rate per annum that is (i) with respect to each Component, four percentage points (4.0%) in excess of the Interest Rate otherwise applicable to such Component and (ii) with respect to any other Obligations, four percentage points (4.0%) above the combined weighted average of the Interest Rates applicable to each of the Components, weighted on the basis of the corresponding outstanding principal balances of such Components (the “ Default Rate ”). Application of the Default Rate shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or any rights or remedies of Lender under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or applicable legal requirements, or a consent to any extension of time for the payment or performance of any obligation with respect to which the Default Rate may be invoked.

Page 39

Section  2.6.      Late Charges . If any payment of principal, interest or other sums due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (other than the principal due on the Maturity Date) is not paid as and when due, Borrower shall pay to Lender, in addition to all sums otherwise due and payable, a late fee in an amount equal to the lesser of four percent (4.0%) of such principal, interest or other sums due hereunder and the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.

Section  2.7.      Interest Rate Cap Agreement .

(A)     Prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing Date, Borrower shall enter into an Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a strike price no greater than the Strike Price. The Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) shall at all times be in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender with respect to such matters not otherwise set forth in this Agreement, (ii) shall at all times be with an Acceptable Counterparty, (iii) shall direct such Acceptable Counterparty to deposit directly into the Clearing Account designated by Lender from time to time, during the continuance of an Event of Default, as directed by Lender, any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (iv) shall be for a term through the end of the Interest Period associated with the then-applicable Maturity Date of the Loan and (v) shall at all times have a notional amount equal to or greater than the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan and shall at all times provide for the applicable Strike Price. Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender, pursuant to the Assignment of Cap, all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and shall deliver to Lender an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Lender and require that payments be deposited directly into the Clearing Account designated by Lender from time to time or such other account as Lender shall direct).

(B)     Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Acceptable Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrower or Lender shall be directly deposited immediately into the Clearing Account designated by Lender from time to time, or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, as directed by Lender. Borrower shall take all commercially reasonable actions requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Acceptable Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of Borrower’s rights thereunder.

(C)     In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Acceptable Counterparty by any Rating Agency such that it is no longer an Acceptable Counterparty, Borrower shall replace or cause the cap provider to replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement not later than the period of time provided for in such Interest Rate Cap Agreement following such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification (not to exceed ten (10) Business Days), provided, Borrower shall not be required to replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement so long as within ten (10) Business Days of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification, the Acceptable Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement provides a guarantor of its obligations that is an Acceptable Counterparty pursuant to such terms as are acceptable to the Rating Agencies and Lender.

(D)     Borrower shall deliver to Lender a new Assignment of Cap acceptable to Lender in connection with each new Interest Rate Cap Agreement and Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement (the parties agree that the form of the Assignment of Cap provided in connection with the closing of the Loan shall be deemed acceptable to Lender). In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or fails to maintain the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Lender may purchase the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the cost actually incurred by Lender in purchasing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such cost is reimbursed by Borrower to Lender.

Page 40

(E)     In connection with the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender within twenty (20) Business Days following (x) the date upon which an Interest Rate Cap Agreement is required pursuant to Section  2.7(A) or (y) the first day of any applicable Extension Term, as applicable, an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be in-house counsel for the Acceptable Counterparty) for the Acceptable Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, that:

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

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

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

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

(F)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section  2.7 or elsewhere in this Agreement, if, at any time, the Loan is converted from a Floating Interest Rate Loan to either a Prime Rate Loan or an Alternate Rate Loan or from a Prime Rate Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan in accordance with Section  2.2(D) above (each, a “ Rate Conversion ”), then:

(i)    within thirty (30) days after such Rate Conversion, Borrower shall either (A) enter into, make all payments under, and satisfy all conditions precedent to the effectiveness of, a Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement (and in connection therewith, but not prior to Borrower taking all the actions described in this clause ( i ) , Borrower shall have the right to terminate any then-existing Interest Rate Cap Agreement) or (B) cause the then-existing Interest Rate Cap Agreement to be modified such that such then-existing Interest Rate Cap Agreement satisfies the requirements of a Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement as set forth below in the definition thereof (a “ Converted Interest Rate Cap Agreement ”); and

Page 41

(ii) on or after such Rate Conversion (provided Lender has not converted the Loan back to a Floating Interest Rate Loan in accordance with Section  2.2(D) hereof), in lieu of satisfying the condition described in Section  2.4(A)(iv) with respect to any outstanding Extension Term, Borrower shall instead enter into, make all payments under, and satisfy all conditions precedent to the effectiveness of a Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement on or prior to the first day of such Extension Term.

(G) As used herein, “ Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement ” shall mean an interest rate Cap Agreement between an Acceptable Counterparty and Borrower, obtained by Borrower and collaterally assigned to Lender pursuant to this Agreement and shall contain each of the following:

(i) a term expiring no earlier than through the end of the Interest Period associated with the then applicable Maturity Date;

(ii) the notional amount of the Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be equal to or greater than the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan;

(iii) it provides that the only obligation of Borrower thereunder is the making of a single payment to the Acceptable Counterparty thereunder upon the execution and delivery thereof;

(iv) it provides to Lender and Borrower (as determined by Lender in its sole but good faith discretion) for the term of the Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement, a hedge against rising interest rates that is no less beneficial to Borrower and Lender than (A) in the case of clause (F)(i) above, that which was provided by the Interest Rate Cap Agreement being replaced by the Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement and (B) in the case of clause (F)(ii) above, that which was intended to be provided by the Interest Rate Cap Agreement that, but for the operation of this Section  2.7(G) , would have been required to have been delivered by Approved Counterparty pursuant to Section  2.4(A)(iv) below as a condition to the requested Extension Term; and

(v) without limiting any of the provisions of the preceding clauses (i)  through (iv) above, it satisfies all of the requirements set forth in clauses (i)  through (iii) of Section  2.7(A) hereof.

From and after the date of any Rate Conversion, all references to “Interest Rate Cap Agreement” and “Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement” herein (other than in the definition of “Interest Rate Cap Agreement”, the definition of “Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement” and as referenced in the first sentence of Section  2.7(A) hereof) shall be deemed to refer or relate, as applicable, to a Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement or a Converted Interest Rate Cap Agreement, as the case may be.

Section 2.8. Prepayment .

(A) Limitation on Prepayment and Voluntary Prepayment . Borrower shall have no right to prepay the Loan in whole or part at any time, except as expressly set forth herein. Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part on any Business Day only if all of the following conditions shall be satisfied:

(i) Borrower shall provide to Lender not less than thirty (30) and not more than ninety (90) days’ prior written notice of such prepayment specifying the date on which such prepayment will occur (it being agreed that such notice may be revoked by Borrower at any time prior to such prepayment);

Page 42

(ii) any such prepayment shall include, and Borrower shall pay to Lender, all interest then having accrued and remaining outstanding calculated at the Interest Rate for the applicable Component(s) being prepaid through and including the repayment date, together with an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued at the Interest Rate for the applicable Component(s) being prepaid through the end of the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs as if such prepayment had not occurred;

(iii) Borrower shall pay all Breakage Costs (if any), and all other sums then due under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents;

(iv) Borrower shall pay to Lender the Spread Maintenance Premium, if such prepayment is made prior to the Spread Maintenance Date; and

(v) if such prepayment is made during the period commencing on the first calendar day immediately following a Payment Date through and including the last day of the Interest Period ending in the calendar month in which such Payment Date occurs, Borrower also shall pay to Lender the amount of all interest that would have accrued on the amount of principal being prepaid from the first day of the Interest Period immediately following the Interest Period in which the prepayment occurs (the “ Succeeding Interest Period ”) through and including the end of the Succeeding Interest Period (the “ Additional Interest ”), calculated at (A) the Interest Rate for the applicable Component(s) being prepaid if such prepayment occurs on or after the Determination Date for the Succeeding Interest Period or (B) if such prepayment occurs before the Determination Date for the Succeeding Interest Period, an interest rate (the “ Assumed Note Rate ”) equal to the sum of 0.25% plus the Interest Rate as determined on the preceding Determination Date for the applicable Component(s) being prepaid), provided that if the Additional Interest was calculated based upon the Assumed Note Rate, upon determination of the Interest Rate on the Determination Date for the Succeeding Interest Period, (x) if the Interest Rate for such Succeeding Interest Period is less than the Assumed Note Rate, Lender shall promptly refund to Borrower a portion of the Additional Interest paid, calculated at a rate equal to the difference between the Assumed Note Rate and the Interest Rate for such Interest Period, or (y) if the Interest Rate is greater than the Assumed Note Rate, Borrower shall promptly (and in no event later than the ninth (9th) day of the following month) pay Lender the amount of such additional Additional Interest calculated at a rate equal to the rate by which the Interest Rate exceeds the Assumed Note Rate.

If, after giving notice of its intention to prepay, Borrower does not prepay the Loan in whole or in part in accordance herewith within thirty (30) days of the date specified in such notice or Borrower revokes such notice of prepayment, then such notice shall lapse, and Borrower shall thereafter have the right to give another notice of its intention to prepay; provided, that Borrower shall pay Lender all of the actual, reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) as a result of such failure to prepay, and any Breakage Costs. No principal amount repaid may be re-borrowed.

(B) Spread Maintenance Prepayment Premium Due Generally . If any prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan shall occur before the Spread Maintenance Date, whether such prepayment is voluntary, involuntary, on account of acceleration of the Loan (whether or not due to an Event of Default), or otherwise, then Borrower shall pay the Spread Maintenance Premium to Lender (as and to the extent provided in this Agreement) together with such prepayment, in addition to all other amounts due and owing to Lender as provided under this Agreement. This provision does not create any right to prepay the Loan in whole or part, whether or not the Spread Maintenance Premium is paid together therewith, at any time or in any circumstances where this Agreement does not expressly state that such a right exists.

Page 43

(C) Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds . To the extent that Lender requires that any Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds be applied to the Loan in accordance with Section  6.2 hereof, such application shall be made in accordance with Section  2.8(A) hereof, provided that (i) no notice of such prepayment shall be required of Borrower and (ii) no Spread Maintenance Premium will be due with respect to such prepayment so long as no Event of Default exists.

(D) Prepayments After Default . If, during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Obligations is tendered by Borrower and accepted by Lender or is otherwise recovered by Lender (including through application of any Reserve Funds), such tender or recovery shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment by Borrower and Borrower shall pay, as part of the Obligations, all of the following: (i) all interest then having accrued and remaining outstanding calculated at the Default Rate for the applicable Component(s) being prepaid through and including such repayment date together with an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued at the Interest Rate for the applicable Component(s) being prepaid through the end of the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs as if such prepayment had not occurred; (ii) the Additional Interest, if applicable, with respect to the amount prepaid; (iii) Breakage Costs, if any; and (iv) an amount equal to the Spread Maintenance Premium (if made before the Spread Maintenance Date). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during the continuance of any Event of Default, any payment of principal, interest or other amounts from whatever source may be applied by Lender among the Note, Components and other Obligations in Lender’s sole discretion.

(E) Application of Prepayments . Provided no Event of Default is continuing, any voluntary or mandatary prepayment of principal (or portion thereof) shall be applied by Lender pro rata and pari passu between Note A-1 and Note A-2. If the Loan has been divided into two or more Components, so long as no Event of Default exists, any voluntary or mandatory prepayment of principal (or portion thereof) shall be applied among the Components in the order of priority set forth in the Componentization Notice, which applications among Components may result in “rate creep”. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during the continuance of any Event of Default, any payment of principal, interest or other amounts from whatever source may be applied by Lender among the Note, Components and other Obligations in Lender’s sole discretion.

(F) Mezzanine Loan . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, in no event shall Borrower permit Mezzanine Borrower or any other Person to prepay (which shall include, without limitation, any prepayment in connection with any acceleration of any Mezzanine Loan) the Mezzanine Loan, in whole or in part, unless there is a simultaneous pro rata prepayment of the Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section  2.8(A) .

Section  2.9. Outstanding Balance . The balance on Lender’s books and records shall be presumptive evidence (absent manifest error) of the amounts owing to Lender by Borrower; provided that any failure to record any transaction affecting such balance or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect Borrower’s obligation to pay the Obligations.

Section  2.10. Taxe s .

(A) Gross-Up . Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any and all Taxes. If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Co-Lender, then (i) if such Tax is an Indemnifiable Tax, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this

Page 44

Section  2.10 ), such Co-Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings, (iii) such Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) Borrower shall furnish to such Co-Lender the original copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority (or upon notification by Borrower to such Co-Lender that a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority is not available, such other evidence as is requested and is reasonably satisfactory to such Co-Lender) evidencing payment thereof as soon as practicable, but in any event no more than ten (10) days after such payment is made.

(B) Other Taxes . In addition, the Loan Parties hereby agree to timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(C) Indemnification . The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Co-Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnifiable Taxes payable or paid by such Co-Lender, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Co-Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnifiable Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by such Co-Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. As soon as practicable, but in any event no more than ten (10) days after any payment of Indemnifiable Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party to any Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to each Co-Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Co-Lender.

(D) Tax Certificates . (i) Any Co-Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Co-Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Borrower to determine whether or not such Co-Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (D)(ii)(a), (ii)(b) and (ii)(d) of this Section) shall not be required if in the Co-Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Co-Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Co-Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,

Page 45

(1) in the case of a Foreign Co-Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Co-Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the IRC, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to the effect that such Foreign Co-Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the IRC, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC (a “ U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate ”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Co-Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit D-3 , IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Co-Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Co-Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Co-Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

Page 46

Each Co-Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(E) Treatment of Certain Refunds . If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (E) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (E), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (E) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(F) Change in Law . (i) If any Change in Law shall:

(a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Co-Lender;

(b) subject any Co-Lender to any Taxes (other than (1) Indemnifiable Taxes, (2) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (3) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

Page 47

(c) impose on any Co-Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Co-Lender or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Co-Lender of making, continuing or maintaining any Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Co-Lender in connection with the Loan (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Co-Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Co-Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Co-Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered as a consequence of this Agreement.

(ii) If any Co-Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Co-Lender or any lending office of such Co-Lender or such Co-Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Co-Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Co-Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, to a level below that which such Co-Lender or such Co-Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Co-Lender’s policies and the policies of such Co-Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Co-Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Co-Lender or such Co-Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered as a consequence of this Agreement.

(iii) A certificate of a Co-Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Co-Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (i) or (ii) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Co-Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(iv) Failure or delay on the part of any Co-Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Co-Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Co-Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Co-Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Co-Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof), and a Co-Lender shall not require any such compensation from Borrower hereunder unless Lender is requiring same from similar situated fixed rate commercial real estate borrowers.

(G) Survival . Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, any Co-Lender, the payment of the Loan, the release of any Security Instrument and the Liens created under the Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement.

Section  2.11. Funding of the Loan on the Closing Date; Effectiveness of Agreement . This Agreement shall be effective only upon the funding of the Loan by Lender on the Closing Date.

Section  2.12. Reasonableness of Charges . Borrower agrees that (i) the actual costs and damages that Lender would suffer by reason of an Event of Default (exclusive of the attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in connection with enforcement of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents) or a prepayment would be difficult and needlessly expensive to calculate and establish, and (ii) the amounts of the Default Rate, the late charges, and the Spread Maintenance Premium are reasonable, taking into consideration the circumstances known to the parties at this time, and (iii) such Default Rate, late charges,

Page 48

Spread Maintenance Premium and Lender’s attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with enforcement of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents shall be due and payable as provided herein, and (iv) such Default Rate, late charges, Spread Maintenance Premium, and the obligation to pay Lender’s attorneys’ fees and other enforcement costs do not, individually or collectively, constitute a penalty.

Section  2.13. Release of Individual Properties . Subject to satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth below with respect to any Individual Property (the “ Release Conditions ”), Lender shall, upon request from Borrower, release such Individual Property (each a “ Release Property ”) from the Lien of the applicable Security Instrument and related Loan Documents (each release under this Section  2.13 , a “ Property Release ”):

(A) Borrower shall deliver a written notice (a “ Property Release Notice ”) to Lender of its desire to effect such Property Release no later than thirty (30) days prior to the date of such desired Property Release, and setting forth the Business Day (the “ Release Date ”) on which Borrower desires that Lender release its interest in such Release Property, which Business Day need not be a Monthly Payment Date;

(B) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date on which Borrower delivers the Property Release Notice or on the Release Date;

(C) Borrower prepays the Loan in the amount of the applicable Release Amount and pays to Lender all other amounts required pursuant to Section  2.8(A) ;

(D) after giving effect to such Property Release (and all prior Property Releases, if any), (i) the Debt Yield, as of the Release Date for all of the Individual Properties then remaining subject to the Liens of the Security Interests, shall not be less than the greater of (a) the “Closing Date Debt Yield” identified in the Information Schedule and (b) the Debt Yield immediately prior to such Property Release;

(E) the Release Property is simultaneously transferred pursuant to an all-cash (as to Borrower) sale on arms-length terms and conditions to either (i) a third party Person that is not an Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor or (ii) to an Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor;

(F) Borrower executes and delivers such other instruments, certificates, opinions of counsel and documentation as Lender and, after a Securitization, the Rating Agencies shall reasonably request in writing in order to preserve, confirm or secure the Liens and security granted to Lender by the Loan Documents, including any amendments, modifications or supplements to any of the Loan Documents, and, if the applicable Title Policy includes one or more Individual Properties other than the Release Property, any endorsements to the applicable Title Policy reasonably required by Lender that are customary for property releases in the state in which the Release Property is located;

(G) following such Property Release, each remaining Individual Borrower shall continue to be a SPE Bankruptcy Remote Entity and comply with all provisions of the Loan Documents pertaining to a SPE Bankruptcy Remote Entity in all material respects, taking into account such Property Release, and Borrower shall have delivered to Lender an Additional Insolvency Opinion upon written request of Lender if Lender reasonably determines that such Property Release results in a change in the required “pairings” analyzed in the Insolvency Opinion delivered in connection with the Loan;

(H) If such Release Property is managed under the Management Agreement that also pertains to any other Individual Property, Borrower shall (i) to the extent required under any Management

Page 49

Agreement, enter into an acknowledgement of such Property Release with the applicable Property Manager, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, in order to cause such Release Property to be removed from the such Management Agreement, and Borrower shall pay all amounts and satisfy all other conditions under such Management Agreement to effect such removal, and (ii) deliver to Lender a written confirmation from the applicable Property Manager, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, that all such amounts have been paid or provided for and all such other conditions have been satisfied;

(I) in connection with any Property Release under this Section  2.13 , in the event that such release would result in the release of all Individual Properties held by an Individual Borrower (each an “ Unencumbered Borrower ”), (i) such Unencumbered Borrower shall be released by Lender from the obligations of the Loan Documents, except with respect to those obligations that are expressly provided herein to survive repayment of the Loan, and (ii) Borrower, Guarantor and Lender shall enter into such modifications and reaffirmations of the Loan Documents as may be reasonably required by Lender to evidence the release of each Unencumbered Borrower from its obligations under the Loan Documents and reaffirmation thereof by the remaining Individual Borrowers and Guarantor;

(J) if the Individual Borrower that has executed the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement is the Unencumbered Borrower, such Unencumbered Borrower shall have assigned all of its right title and interest in and to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement to another Individual Borrower that owns one or more Individual Properties that will remain subject to the Liens of the Security Instruments after such Property Release (such Individual Borrower, the “ Assigned Individual Borrower ”). In connection with (and as a condition precedent to) such assignment, Borrower shall amend the existing Assignment of Cap (and, if applicable, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement) or deliver to Lender a replacement Assignment of Cap (in each case, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender) and obtain the execution and delivery of the Counterparty to such amendment or replacement Assignment of Cap, which shall change the account to which payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement are to be made by the Counterparty thereunder to the Clearing Account of the Assigned Individual Borrower;

(K) (i) such Property Release shall be subject to Section  13.9 , (ii) such Property Release shall otherwise be permitted under the REMIC Requirements in effect as of (A) the date on which the applicable Property Release Notice is given and (B) the date on which such Property Release shall occur, and (iii) if required by Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a REMIC Opinion with respect to such Property Release;

(A) Each Individual Borrower shall establish and maintain a segregated Eligible Account (each, a “ Clearing Account ” and collectively, the “ Clearing Accounts ”) with the Clearing Bank in trust for the benefit of Lender, which Clearing Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender. Each Clearing Account shall be entitled in the name of each Individual Borrower, as pledgor, for the sole and exclusive benefit of Lender, as secured party, or such other name as reasonably required by Lender from time to time. Borrower (i) hereby grants to Lender a first priority security interest in the Clearing Accounts and all deposits at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof, and (ii) will take all actions necessary to maintain in favor of Lender a perfected first priority security interest in the Clearing Accounts, including, without limitation, the execution of any account control agreements required by Lender. Borrower will not in any way alter, modify or close any Clearing Accounts and will notify Lender of the account numbers thereof. All costs and expenses of the Clearing Bank for establishing and maintaining the Clearing Accounts shall be paid by Borrower. All monies now or hereafter deposited into the Clearing Accounts shall be deemed additional security for the Obligations.

(B) Borrower shall, and shall cause Property Manager to, deposit into the applicable Clearing Account within three (3) Business Days after receipt all amounts received by Borrower or Property Manager constituting Rents or other Receipts for each applicable Individual Property, including without limitation Borrower’s TIR Share of Tenant Insurance Revenue, and, for the avoidance of doubt, Borrower shall not be obligated to, nor shall it be obligated to cause Property Manager to, deposit any Excluded Tenant Insurance Revenue into the Clearing Account. On or before the Closing Date, Borrower shall have sent (and hereby represents that it has sent) notices (each such notice, a “Credit Card Direction Notice”) to each of the credit card companies or credit card clearing banks with which any Individual Borrower or Property Manager has entered into merchant’s or other credit card agreements (any such agreement, a “Credit Card Agreement”) directing them to pay by wire transfer or the ACH System to the applicable Clearing Account all payments which would otherwise be paid to such Individual Borrower or Property Manager under the applicable Credit Card Agreements until such time as the Obligations have been repaid in full in accordance with the terms hereof. Simultaneously with the execution of any Credit Card Agreement entered into on or after the date hereof in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions hereof, Borrower shall furnish each credit card company or credit card clearing bank party to each such Credit Card Agreement a Credit Card Direction Notice. The Clearing Account Agreement and Clearing Accounts shall remain in effect until the Loan has been repaid in full.

(C) So long as no Cash Management Period exists, all available amounts on deposit in the Clearing Accounts shall be disbursed to the applicable Individual Borrower in immediately available funds by Federal wire transfer once every Business Day. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Cash Management Period, Borrower shall (and Lender may) cause the Clearing Bank to transfer to the Cash Management Account in immediately available funds by Federal wire transfer all amounts on deposit in the Clearing Accounts once every Business Day.

(D) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, direct Clearing Bank to immediately pay over all funds on deposit in the Clearing Accounts to Lender and to apply any such funds to the payment of the Obligations in any order in its sole discretion.

Page 51

(E) Funds deposited into the Clearing Accounts shall not be commingled with other monies held by Borrower or Property Manager.

(F) Borrower shall not further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Clearing Account or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 financing statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.

(G) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Clearing Accounts, the Clearing Account Agreement or the performance of the obligations for which the Clearing Accounts were established (unless arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender).

Section 3.2. Cash Management Accounts .

(A) Cash Management Account . Not later than ten (10) Business Days following delivery by Lender of written notice to Borrower indicating that a Cash Management Period exists, Lender shall establish and maintain a segregated Eligible Account (the “ Cash Management Account ”) with the Deposit Bank in trust for the benefit of Lender, which Cash Management Account shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of and under the sole dominion and control of Lender. The Cash Management Account shall be entitled in the name of Borrower, as pledgor, for the sole and exclusive benefit of Lender, as secured party, or such other name as required by Lender from time to time. Lender will also establish subaccounts of the Cash Management Account which shall at all times be Eligible Accounts (and may be ledger or book entry accounts and not actual accounts) (such subaccounts are referred to herein as “ Subaccounts ”). Borrower (i) hereby grants to Lender a first priority security interest in the Cash Management Account and the Subaccounts and all deposits at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof, and (ii) will take all actions necessary to maintain in favor of Lender a perfected first priority security interest in the Cash Management Account and the Subaccounts, including, without limitation, the execution of any account control agreement required by Lender. Borrower will not in any way alter, modify or close the Cash Management Account and will notify Lender of the account number thereof. Lender and Servicer shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from the Cash Management Account and the Subaccounts in accordance with this Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement. All costs and expenses of the Deposit Bank for establishing and maintaining the Cash Management Account and the Subaccounts shall be paid by Borrower. All monies now or hereafter deposited into the Cash Management Account and the Subaccounts shall be deemed additional security for the Obligations.

(B) Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and subject to Section  3.2(D) , after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Management Period, on each Payment Date (or, if such Payment Date is not a Business Day, on the immediately succeeding Business Day) all funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall be applied by Lender (or by Deposit Bank at Lender’s direction) to the payment of the following items in the order indicated:

(i) First, payment to Lender (for deposit in the Taxes and Insurance Reserve) in respect of the applicable amount required to be deposited in the Taxes and Insurance Reserve in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section  8.1 hereof;

(ii) Second, to the extent the Cash Management Account contains any Excluded Tenant Insurance Revenue (notwithstanding the first sentence of Section  3.1.(B )), payment to Borrower in

Page 52

an amount equal to the Excluded Tenant Insurance Revenue then contained in the Cash Management Account (each such disbursement for Excluded Tenant Insurance Revenue under this Section  3.2 , an “ Excluded TIR Disbursement ”), subject to satisfaction of the following conditions to disbursement (the “ TIR Disbursement Conditions ”): Borrower certifies in writing to Lender, not less than two (2) Business Days prior to each such Excluded TIR Disbursement, (i) the amount of the Excluded TIR Disbursement, the Excluded Tenant Insurance Revenue and Tenant Protection Plan Net Revenue for the applicable Individual Properties to which such Excluded TIR Disbursement relates, (ii) that the Excluded Tenant Insurance Revenue to which the Excluded TIR Disbursement relates has been deposited into the Cash Management Account, and the Excluded TIR Disbursement does not include amounts previously paid or disbursed on account of Excluded Tenant Insurance Revenue, and (iii) that the calculations of the Excluded TIR Disbursement, Excluded Tenant Insurance Revenue and Tenant Protection Plan Revenue are true and correct in all material respects;

(iii) Third, payment to Deposit Bank of the fees and expenses of Deposit Bank then due and payable pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement;

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower’s obligations with respect to the payment of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount and amounts required to be deposited into the Reserves shall be deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient amounts are deposited in the Cash Management Account to satisfy such obligations on the dates each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by Lender, so long as Lender’s access to such sums was not restricted or constrained in any manner.

Section  3.4. Payments on Behalf of Borrower . The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, as to any clause or provision contained in this Section  3 or any other allocation, application or disbursement of cash or any other payments under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or otherwise relating to payments made to Mezzanine Lender or applied to the Mezzanine Loan, notwithstanding the fact that such payments may be sent directly from the Cash Management Account to any Mezzanine Account in accordance with Section  3.2 above, any such payment shall be deemed to constitute a distribution by the applicable Individual Borrowers to the Mezzanine Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the organizational documents of such Individual Borrowers, Mezzanine Borrower and applicable law and simultaneous payment by the Mezzanine Borrower to the Mezzanine Lender. Any such payment is intended by the parties to constitute, and shall constitute, a distribution from the applicable Individual Borrowers to Mezzanine Borrower and shall be treated as such on the books and records of each party. No such payment is intended or shall be construed as meaning that any Individual Borrower is acting on behalf of, holding out its credit for, or paying the obligations of, Mezzanine Borrower, directly or in any other manner that would violate any of the single purpose entity covenants contained in this Agreement or other similar covenants contained in such Individual Borrower’s organizational documents or Mezzanine Borrower’s organizational documents, respectively.

Section 4.3.     Financial Information .

(A)      Financial Statements . All financial data, including, without limitation, the financial statements, balance sheets, statements of cash flow, and statements of income and operating expense concerning Borrower or Guarantor or the Property that have been furnished to Lender in connection with this transaction (i) have been or will be prepared in accordance with GAAP (or in accordance with tax accounting principles, if therein specified), consistently applied (except as disclosed therein), (ii) are (or will be as to those statements that are not yet due) true, complete and correct in all material respects and (iii) do (or will, as to those statements that are not yet due) present fairly and accurately the financial condition of the Persons covered thereby as at the dates thereof and the results of their operations for the periods then ended. Since the date of the most recent financial statements of Borrower, Guarantor and the Property delivered to Lender, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower or Guarantor or the Property from that set forth in said financial statements. Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to it and reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements.

(B)      Disclosure . No financial statements, Loan Document or any other document, certificate or written statement furnished to Lender by Borrower or Guarantor and, to the knowledge of Borrower or Guarantor, no document or statement furnished by any third party on behalf of Borrower or Guarantor, for use in connection with the Loan contains any untrue representation, warranty or statement of a material fact, and none omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of the Closing Date, there has been no material adverse change in any condition, fact, circumstance or event that would make any such information inaccurate, incomplete or otherwise misleading in any material respect or that otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no material fact known to Borrower that has had or will have a Material Adverse Effect and that has not been disclosed in writing to Lender by Borrower.

(C)      Solvency . Neither Borrower nor Guarantor has entered into the transaction or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and each of Borrower and Guarantor has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the fair market value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent Indebtedness. The fair market value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its Indebtedness as any such Indebtedness that is contingent becomes absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not constitute and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out Borrower’s business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur Indebtedness and liabilities beyond its ability to pay such Indebtedness and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).

Borrower owns and will own at all times all furnishings, fixtures, equipment, and personal property used in connection with the Property other than personal property which is leased by Borrower or owned or leased by tenants of the Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and to the replacement of obsolete personal property on each Property. There are no pending proceedings in condemnation or eminent domain affecting any Individual Property, and to the knowledge of Borrower none is threatened. No Person has any option, right of refusal, or other right to purchase all or any portion of any Individual Property or any interest therein, except as set forth in Schedule 4.5 . There are no mechanic’s, materialman’s or other similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or materials affecting any Individual Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the Security Instrument (and, to Borrower’s knowledge, no rights are outstanding that under applicable Legal Requirements could give rise to any such liens). None of the Permitted Encumbrances, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely (i) affect the value of any Individual Property, (ii) impair the use or operations of any Individual Property or (iii) impair Borrower’s ability to pay its obligations in a timely manner.

To Borrower’s knowledge, neither the zoning compliance nor any other right to use or operate each Individual Property is in any way dependent upon or related to any real estate other than such Individual Property and validly created, existing appurtenant perpetual easements insured in the applicable Title Policy. Except as set forth in the Zoning Report, to Borrower’s knowledge, if all or any part of the Improvements located on each Individual Property are destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without violating any zoning or other Legal Requirements applicable thereto and without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special permits, other than customary demolition, building and other construction related permits.

Except as set forth in the Zoning Report. each Individual Property and the intended use thereof comply in all material respects with all Legal Requirements, including all applicable zoning, subdivision, parking laws, applicable land use laws, regulations and ordinances, all applicable health, fire, building codes and all other laws, statutes, codes, ordinances, rules and regulations applicable to such Individual Property, including without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act. To Borrower’s knowledge, no portion of the Property has been by any Individual Borrower purchased, improved, equipped, fixtured or furnished with proceeds of any criminal or other illegal activity and to Borrower’s knowledge there are no illegal activities relating to controlled substances on any Individual Property. Except as set forth in the Zoning Report, all material permits, licenses and certificates for the construction, lawful use and operation of each Individual Property have been obtained or will be obtained as and when required by law, and those obtained as of the date hereof are current and in full force and effect, and to Borrower’s knowledge there is no default in any material respect thereunder by any party thereto and no event has occurred that, with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice would constitute a default thereunder.

Neither Borrower nor Guarantor is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any Contractual Obligation of any such Person which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and to Borrower’s knowledge, no condition exists that, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default. Except as contemplated by the existing Management Agreement, no Person has any right or obligation to manage the Property or to receive compensation in connection with such management. Except for the Loan Documents, none of the Borrower Parties is a party to or bound by, nor is any property of such Person subject to or bound by, any contract or other agreement which restricts such Person’s ability to conduct its business in the ordinary course or has a Material Adverse Effect or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which it is bound that would require the subordination in right of payment of any of its obligations hereunder or under the Note to an obligation owed to another Person.

(B)      Closing Rent Roll, Disclosure . A true and correct copy of the rent roll (the “ Closing Rent Roll ”) for the Property as of January 18, 2019 is attached hereto as Schedule  4.7(B) .

Notwithstanding Lender’s approval of any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy hereunder, Lender reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to require Borrower to obtain a separate Policy in compliance with this Section  6.1 and Schedule 6.1 . Without limitation of any provision hereof, (i) Lender’s consent required hereunder with respect to any umbrella or blanket policy shall include the schedule of locations and values with respect to the same and (ii) any umbrella or blanket Policy shall specifically allocate to each Individual Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only such Individual Property in compliance with the provisions of this Section  6.1 and Schedule 6.1 .

Section 6.2.     Cas ualty and Condemnation .

(A)     In the event of Casualty or Condemnation at any Individual Property (other than non-material Casualty at an Individual Property involving damages of less than $100,000, when aggregated with any other then unrestored Casualty damage at the applicable Individual Property), Borrower shall give prompt written notice of the same to the insurance carrier and to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion, in accordance with the terms hereof, the repair and restoration of such Individual Property as nearly as possible to the condition of such Individual Property prior to the casualty or loss (a “ Restoration ”). Borrower shall pay all costs of the Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds. Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies concerning a Casualty, and any settlement discussions with any Governmental Authority with respect to a Condemnation (and shall have the right to approve any final settlement with respect to either) with respect to any Casualty or Condemnation in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are reasonably expected to exceed the Net Proceeds Threshold (and otherwise if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender all instruments reasonably required by Lender to permit such participation. With respect to any Casualty or Condemnation in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are reasonably expected to exceed the Net Proceeds Threshold (and otherwise if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds lawfully or equitably payable in connection with each Individual Property, and Lender shall be reimbursed by Borrower for any reasonable expenses actually incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and the payment by Borrower of the expense of an appraisal on behalf of Lender in case of Casualty or Condemnation affecting any Individual Property or any part thereof) from such Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds, as applicable. If an Event of Default exists, Lender may, at Lender’s option, retain and apply, in accordance with Section  2.8(C) hereof, the balance of the Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds toward reduction of the Obligations whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper

(B)     If not disbursed to Borrower as provided in Section  6.2(E)(i) below if the Net Proceeds are less than the Net Proceeds Threshold, Lender may, at Lender’s option, condition disbursement of any Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds on Lender’s reasonable approval of plans and specifications prepared by an independent architect licensed in the state where the applicable Individual Property is located, having at least three (3) years of experience as an architect and reasonably satisfactory to Lender (an “ Approved Architect ”), any and all material contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration and satisfaction of liens as Lender may reasonably require. Lender shall not be obligated to disburse Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month. If Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds are applied to the payment of the Obligations, any such application of proceeds to principal shall not extend or postpone the due dates of the monthly payments due under the Note or otherwise under the Loan Documents, or change the amounts of such payments. Any amount of Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds remaining in Lender’s possession after full and final payment and discharge of all Obligations shall be refunded to Borrower (or if the Mezzanine Loan remains outstanding, disbursed to Mezzanine Lender for application pursuant to the Mezzanine Loan Documents). If any Individual Property is sold at foreclosure or if Lender acquires title to any Individual Property, Lender shall have all of the right, title and interest of Borrower in and to any Insurance Proceeds, and in and to the proceeds resulting from any damage to the applicable Individual Property prior to such sale or acquisition, in each case if and to the extent not previously applied to the Obligations or Restoration of the Individual Property.

Page 70

(3)    Borrower shall commence Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the issuance of a building permit with respect thereto) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;

(4)    Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the affected Individual Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in paragraph (iii) of Schedule  6.1 , if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;

Section  6.3. Costs and Expenses . Borrower shall reimburse Lender within ten (10) Business Days after written demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in connection with any Casualty or any threatened in writing or actual Condemnation or any contemplated in writing or actual transaction in lieu of Condemnation, including without limitation any such reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in connection with any application or claim for Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds and any Restoration.

The funds contained in the Environmental Remediation Reserve shall be utilized by Borrower solely for the Environmental Remediation Reserve Work, and shall not be used by Borrower for purposes for which any other Reserve is established. Upon written application of Borrower, Borrower shall be entitled to draw upon the Environmental Remediation Reserve to pay for such costs, provided that (i) the Reserve Disbursement Conditions shall have been satisfied, and

Page 90

(ii) Borrower shall provide to Lender such evidence of compliance with law and regulatory oversight of the remediation as Lender may reasonably require, and the same shall be satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion. Provided that Borrower is not otherwise precluded from making distributions pursuant to the Loan Documents, Borrower shall be entitled to draw any remaining balance in the Environmental Remediation Reserve when all of the Environmental Remediation Reserve Work has been completed and paid for, all lien waivers have been obtained, and Borrower has delivered such closure reports, no-further-action letters, and other evidence in accordance with the foregoing.

Section  8.6. Excess Cash Reserve Funds . Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Management Period, all Excess Cash shall be collected by Lender and all such amounts shall be held by Lender as additional security for the Loan (amounts so held shall be hereinafter referred to as the “ Excess Cash Reserve Funds ” and the account to which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “ Excess Cash Reserve Account ”). At such time as any Cash Management Period shall end, any funds held in the Excess Cash Reserve Account shall be returned to Borrower.

During a Cash Management Period, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon written request of Borrower, Lender shall disburse within ten (10) Business Days of Borrower’s request but no more frequently than quarterly, Excess Cash Reserve Funds (to the extent of the balance thereof then held in the Excess Cash Reserve Account) for disbursements to Borrower to be distributed to Guarantor (such disbursement and distribution deemed to be an equity distribution by Borrower to its equity holders) in an amount that is the lesser of (i) $50,000 annually, and (ii) an amount sufficient, as reasonably determined by Borrower, to enable Guarantor to satisfy the distribution requirements applicable to REITs and otherwise avoid the imposition of U.S. federal and state income and excise taxes (including, without limitation, under Sections 857 and 4981 of the IRS Code) (measured for this purpose as if Borrower were itself a REIT, that such REIT’s assets were limited to the assets of Borrower, and that such REIT’s income was limited to Borrower’s net taxable income (or the net taxable income of Borrower’s owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is attributable to its interest in Borrower)).

Section 8.7. Intentionally Omitted .

Section 8.8. General Matters Pertaining to Reserves .

(i) Lender shall apply Taxes and Insurance Reserve Funds to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums (and Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or insurer, as applicable, 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);

(ii) Lender shall disburse Deferred Maintenance Reserve Funds for Required Repairs, Replacement Reserve Funds for Capital Expenditures performed during the term of the Loan in accordance with the capital expenditures budget prepared by Borrower, and during a Cash Management Period, the Approved Capital Expenditures Budget, and (iii) Environmental Remediation Reserve Funds for Environmental Remediation Reserve Work, in each case, not more than once monthly with respect to each type of Reserve Fund, and in amounts not less than $25,000.00, or, if less, the remaining balance of the applicable Reserve Funds, upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (a) Borrower shall submit a request for payment to Lender at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date

Page 91

on which Borrower requests such payment be made and specify the purpose of the disbursement, (b) in the case of disbursements on account of Required Repairs, Capital Expenditures, or Environmental Remediation Reserve Work: (x) Lender shall have received a certificate from Borrower (1) stating that all work to be funded by the requested disbursement has been completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, such certificate to be accompanied by a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required in connection therewith, (2) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the requested disbursement, and (3) stating that each such Person has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement, such certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender, (y) at Lender’s option for requests for disbursements for amounts greater than $250,000, Borrower shall obtain a title or lien search for the applicable Individual Property indicating that such Individual Property is free from all liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender or otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents, and (z) Lender shall have received such other evidence (including, but not limited to, architectural, engineering or environmental reports) as Lender shall reasonably request that the work to be funded by the requested disbursement has been completed in accordance with all Legal Requirements and is paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower.

(B) Security Interest; Rights on Default . Borrower hereby grants and pledges to Lender a security interest in any and all monies now or hereafter comprising any Reserves, including all Reserve Funds and any other funds paid to or held by Lender for such purposes, and all earnings on and proceeds of any or all of the foregoing, in each case as security for the payment of the Loan and the payment and performance of all other Obligations. If an Event of Default exists, Lender shall have no obligation to disburse any amount from any Reserve. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have all rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and under applicable law. Without limitation, if an Event of Default exists, Lender shall have no obligation to disburse any amount from any Reserve, and Lender is expressly authorized to hold all or any portion of the Reserves and not apply the same to the Obligations, to apply all or any portion of the Reserves against any of the Obligations in any order that Lender determines, to apply all or any portion of the Reserves otherwise as provided herein, or to dispose of any or all of the same in accordance with applicable law.

(C) Earnings on Reserves . The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. No earnings or interest on the Reserve Funds shall be payable to Borrower. Neither Lender nor any Servicer that at any time holds or maintains the Reserve funds shall have any obligation to keep or maintain such Reserve Funds or any funds deposited therein in interest bearing accounts. If Lender or any Servicer elects in its sole and absolute discretion to keep or maintain any Reserve Funds deposited therein in an interest bearing account, (i) such funds shall not be invested except in Permitted Investments, and (ii) all interest earned or accrued thereon shall be for the account of, and be retained by Lender or any Servicer. Lender shall not be responsible and shall have no liability whatsoever for the rate of return earned or losses incurred on the investment of any Reserve Funds in Permitted Investments.

(D) Right to Receive Authorization . Lender shall have the right at any time to request from Borrower or from Guarantor written authorization in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, separate and apart from the authorizations set forth in the Loan Documents, to make (or refrain from making) any payment from or with respect to any Reserve (including payments to Lender for credit against the obligations of Borrower hereunder), or to take (or refrain from taking) any action pertaining to any Reserve. Lender shall have no obligation to request any such written authorization ever, and Lender’s not requesting any such written authorization shall not give rise to any rights in Borrower or any obligation, liability or detriment of Lender. Further, Lender’s requesting such written authorization in any case or cases shall not give rise to any obligation to request such written authorization in any subsequent case. If such written authorization is given, then Lender shall have the right to rely on the same irrevocably. If

Page 92

Lender requests any such written authorization for any matter which the Loan Documents or applicable law permits or requires Lender to do under the circumstances then in effect or as contemplated in such request for written authorization, then until such time as Lender receives such written authorization (including any time following denial of such written authorization) Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized to do any one or more of the following, at Lender’s reasonable option (i) except for payment of Taxes, hold all or any part of the applicable Reserve without making payment therefrom, (ii) make any payments from the Reserve that are then permitted or required under the Loan Documents or applicable law, or (iii) exercise or refrain from exercising any other rights or remedies pertaining to the Reserves that are then permitted under the Loan Documents or under applicable law. Lender’s rights under the foregoing sentence may be exercised simultaneously or seriatim in any combination or sequence. If Lender shall exercise any of such rights by reason of not having received any requested written authorization, and if the requested written authorization is subsequently given (or if a denial of written authorization is subsequently rescinded), Lender shall not then be required to undo the results of any such exercise of rights, and Lender shall not be bound by any obligation which Lender determines in its reasonable discretion is inconsistent with any of the rights that have been so exercised. The rights of Lender under this subsection shall govern and prevail notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents or elsewhere. Without limitation, the rights of Lender under this subsection shall govern and prevail over any provision of the Loan Documents which imposes on Lender any obligation whatsoever pertaining to any Reserve.

(E) Reserves Not Specifically Identified in Article VIII . This Article shall apply to all Reserves that are specifically identified in this Article VIII and also to any other Reserves that are required pursuant to the Loan Documents.

(F) Additional Provisions . Borrower’s obligations to make deposits into each Reserve are separate from Borrower’s obligations to make deposits into each other Reserve, and from its obligations to pay as and when due all principal, interest, and other amounts owing under the Loan Documents. Without limitation, nothing in this Article shall excuse Borrower’s performance of any obligation set forth elsewhere in this Agreement or in the Loan Documents. Lender may (but need not) disburse payment from any Reserve directly to the applicable vendor, by joint check to Borrower (or any Individual Borrower on behalf of Borrower) and the applicable contractor, or to Borrower (or any Individual Borrower on behalf of Borrower), in each case as determined by Lender in its sole discretion. To the extent that Reserves are funded from Loan proceeds, whether at Closing or otherwise, the amount so funded shall constitute principal outstanding hereunder. Upon full and final payment of the Obligations, any funds remaining in any Reserve shall be disbursed to Borrower.

Section 8.9. Letters of Credit.

(A) This Section shall apply to any Letters of Credit which are permitted to be delivered pursuant to the express terms and conditions of this Agreement. Borrower shall give Lender no less than ten (10) days written notice of Borrower’s election to deliver a Letter of Credit together with a draft of the proposed Letter of Credit and Borrower shall pay to Lender all of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith. No party other than Lender shall be entitled to draw on any such Letter of Credit.

(B) Each Letter of Credit delivered hereunder shall be additional security for the payment of the Obligations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, at its option, to draw on any Letter of Credit and to apply all or any part thereof to the payment of the items for which such Letter of Credit was established or to apply each such Letter of Credit to payment of the Obligations in such order, proportion or priority as Lender may determine. Any such application to the Obligations shall be subject to the terms and conditions hereof relating to application of

Page 93

sums to the Obligations. Lender shall have the additional rights to draw in full any Letter of Credit: (i) if Lender has received a notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (ii) if Lender has not received a notice from the issuing bank that it has renewed the Letter of Credit at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (iii) upon receipt of notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will be terminated (except if the termination of such Letter of Credit is permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof or a substitute Letter of Credit is provided by no later than thirty (30) days prior to such termination); (iv) if Lender has received notice that the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall cease to be an Approved LC Bank and Borrower has not substituted a Letter of Credit from an Approved LC Bank within fifteen (15) days after notice; and/or (v) if the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall fail to (A) issue a replacement Letter of Credit in the event the original Letter of Credit has been lost, mutilated, stolen and/or destroyed or (B) consent to the transfer of the Letter of Credit to any Person designated by Lender in connection with this Agreement. If Lender draws upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, provided no Event of Default exists, Lender shall apply all or any part thereof for the purposes for which such Letter of Credit was established. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the above, Lender is not obligated to draw any Letter of Credit upon the happening of an event specified in (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above and shall not be liable for any losses sustained by Borrower due to the insolvency of the bank issuing the Letter of Credit if Lender has not drawn the Letter of Credit.

(C) In no event shall Borrower be an account party to, or have or incur any reimbursement obligations in connection with, any Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall only be permitted to deliver a Letter of Credit hereunder to the extent the amount of such Letter of Credit, together with the amounts of all other outstanding Letters of Credit, does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan.

(B) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or at law or in equity, may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Obligations shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Property. Any such 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 herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing (i) to the fullest extent permitted by law, Lender shall not be subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Security Instruments have been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Obligations or the Obligations have been paid in full.

(C) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose one or more of the Security Instruments in any manner and for any amounts secured by such Security Instruments then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) if Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Security Instruments to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) if Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Security Instruments to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Security Instruments as Lender may elect.

(D) Any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan during the continuance of an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.

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

Page 98

Section  9.3. Duration of Events of Default . Notwithstanding anything else herein or any other Loan Document (but subject to any contrary effect of any applicable statute), Lender shall have no obligation to accept the cure of, or to waive, any Event of Default, regardless of tender of delinquent payments or other performance by Borrower, or any other event or condition whatsoever; and no Borrower Party shall have any right to cure any Event of Default, and no right to cure shall be implied. After the first occurrence of any Event of Default (irrespective of whether or not the same consists of an ongoing condition, a one-time occurrence, or otherwise), the same shall be deemed to continue at all times thereafter; provided, however, that such Event of Default shall cease to continue only if Lender shall expressly accept performance of the defaulted obligation in writing or shall otherwise execute and deliver a written agreement in which Lender expressly states that such Event of Default has ceased to continue. Lender shall not be obligated under any circumstances whatsoever to accept such performance or execute and deliver any such writing. Without limitation, this Section shall govern in any case where reference is made in this Agreement or elsewhere in the Loan Documents to (i) any “cure” (whether by use of such word or otherwise) of any Event of Default, (ii) “during an Event of Default,” “the continuance of an Event of Default” or “after an Event of Default has ceased” (in each case, whether by use of such words or otherwise), or (iii) any condition or event which continues beyond the time when the same becomes an Event of Default.

Section 9.4. Performance by Lender .

(A) If any Borrower Party shall fail to perform fully, or cause to be performed fully, any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether notice has been given and whether any time in which to cure has elapsed and irrespective of whether or not an Event of Default has occurred, Lender may (but shall have no obligation to) perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of such Borrower Party. In such event, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, promptly pay to Lender any amount reasonably expended by Lender in such performance or attempted performance, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, from the date of such expenditure until paid. Any amounts advanced or expended by Lender to perform or attempt to perform any such matter shall be added to and included within the Indebtedness evidenced by the Note and shall be secured by all of the Collateral securing the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that Lender shall not have any liability or responsibility for the performance of any obligation of any Borrower Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(B) Lender may cease or suspend any and all performance required of Lender under the Loan Documents upon and during the continuance of any Default, and upon and at any time after the occurrence of any Event of Default.

Section  9.5. Right of Entry .

Lender shall not be liable to Borrower or any person in possession holding under Borrower by reason of such entry or such action.

Page 99
