LODGIAN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

(Throughout this Form 10-Q, we will use the terms Lodgian, “we”, “our”, and “us”, to refer to Lodgian, Inc. and unless the context otherwise requires or expressly states, our subsidiaries).

1. Business Summary

     We are one of the largest independent owners and operators of full-service hotels in the United States in terms of our number of guest rooms and gross annual revenues, as reported by Hotel & Motel Management Magazine in September 2003. We are considered an independent owner and operator because we do not operate our hotels under our own name. We operate substantially all of our hotels under nationally recognized brands, such as “Crowne Plaza,” “Holiday Inn,” “Marriott,” and “Hilton”. As of August 9, 2004, we operated 87 hotels with an aggregate of 16,366 rooms, located in 30 states and Canada. Of the 87 hotels, 78 hotels, with an aggregate of 14,348 rooms, are part of our continuing operations, while nine hotels, with an aggregate of 2,018 rooms, are held for sale. Our portfolio of 87 hotels consists of:

    82 hotels that we wholly own and operate through subsidiaries;

    four hotels that we operate in joint ventures in which we have a 50% or greater voting equity interest and exercise control; and

    one hotel that we operate in a joint venture in which we have a 30% non-controlling equity interest.

     We consolidate all of these hotels in our financial statements, other than the one hotel in which we hold a non-controlling equity interest and which we account for under the equity method.

     Our hotels are primarily full-service properties that offer food and beverage services, meeting space and banquet facilities and compete in the midscale and upscale market segments of the lodging industry. As of August 9, 2004, we operated all but three of our hotels under franchises obtained from nationally recognized hospitality franchisors. We operate 59 of our hotels under franchises obtained from InterContinental Hotels Group as franchisor of the Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Select and Holiday Inn Express brands. We operate 15 of our hotels under franchises from Marriott International as franchisor of the Marriott, Courtyard by Marriott, Fairfield Inn by Marriott and Residence Inn by Marriott brands. We operate another 10 hotels under other nationally recognized brands. We believe that these strong national brands afford us many benefits such as guest loyalty and market share premiums.

2. General

     Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lodgian, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries and four joint ventures in which Lodgian, Inc. has a controlling financial interest (owns a 50% or greater voting equity interest and exercises control). We believe we have control of the joint ventures when we manage and have control of the joint ventures’ assets and operations. We report the third party partners’ share of the net income or loss of these joint ventures and their share of the joint ventures’ equity as minority interest. We include in other assets our investment in the hotel in which we hold a minority interest and which we account for under the equity method. We report our share of the income or loss of this minority-owned hotel as part of interest income and other. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     The accounting policies which we follow for quarterly financial reporting are the same as those which we disclosed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for the year ended December 31, 2003.

LODGIAN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

     During 2003, we developed a portfolio improvement strategy which was consistent with our goals of operating a portfolio of profitable, well-maintained and appealing hotels at superior locations in strong markets. In accordance with this strategy and our efforts to reduce debt and interest costs, we identified 19 hotels, one office building and three land parcels for sale. Between November 1, 2003 and August 9, 2004, we sold the office building and ten of the 19 hotels. As of August 9, 2004, our portfolio consisted of 87 hotels, 78 of which represent our continuing portfolio (including one hotel in which we have a non-controlling equity interest which we do not consolidate).

     In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2004, the results of our operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003 and our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003. Our results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of our results for the entire year. You should read these financial statements in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

     As we prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), we reclassify certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period’s presentation. We also make estimates and assumptions which affect:

    the reported amounts of assets and liabilities;

    the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period; and

    the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements.

     Our actual results could differ from our estimates.

  Reverse Stock Split

     On April 27, 2004, our Board of Directors authorized a reverse stock split of our common stock in a ratio of one-for-three (1:3). The reverse split affected all of our issued and outstanding common shares, warrants, stock options, and restricted stock. The record date for the reverse split was April 29, 2004 and our new common stock began trading under the split adjustment on April 30, 2004.

     Fractional shares which resulted from the reverse stock split were paid in cash. Each holder of a fractional share of common stock after the effective date of the reverse split was paid cash equal to the product of (i) the average of the closing prices of the common stock for the last ten trading days prior to April 30, 2004, multiplied by (ii) the fraction of a share of common stock held by such holder.

     All amounts for common stock, warrants, stock options and restricted stock, and all earnings per share computations have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the change in our capital structure.

3. Stock-based Compensation

     As disclosed in Note 2 above, on April 27, 2004, our Board of Directors authorized a reverse stock split of our common stock in a ratio of one-for-three (1:3). All stock option disclosures below have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

     As we previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, on November 25, 2002, we adopted a new Stock Incentive Plan which replaced the stock option plan previously in place. In accordance with the Stock Incentive Plan, and prior to the consummation of the public offering, we were permitted to grant awards to acquire up to 353,333 shares of common stock to our directors, officers, or other key employees or consultants as determined by a committee appointed by our Board of Directors. Awards may consist of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, performance share awards, section 162(m) awards or other awards determined by the committee. We cannot grant stock options pursuant to the Stock Incentive Plan at an

exercise price which is less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of the grant. Vesting, exercisability, payment and other restrictions pertaining to any awards made pursuant to the Stock Incentive Plan are determined by the Committee. At our 2004 annual meeting, stockholders approved an amendment and restatement of the Stock Incentive Plan to, among other things, increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance thereunder by 29,667 immediately and, in the event we consummated a firm commitment, underwritten public offering of our common stock, by an additional amount to be determined pursuant to a formula. With the consummation of our public offering of common stock on June 25, 2004, the total number of shares available for issuance under our Stock Incentive Plan increased to 2,950,832 shares.

     On April 9, 2004, the Company issued our CEO, Thomas Parrington, 1,382 restricted stock units in accordance with his employment agreement. The restricted stock units vest on April 9, 2005 when they will be convertible into an equal number of shares of common stock.

     We present below a summary of our stock option plan and the restricted stock units activity under the plan for the six months ended June 30, 2004:

     We account for stock option grants in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations. Under APB No. 25, if the exercise price of

8


 

LODGIAN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

our employee stock options is equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (as amended by SFAS No. 148), compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the estimated value of the award and is recognized over the service (or vesting) period. The income tax benefit, if any, associated with the exercise of stock options is credited to additional paid-in capital.

     Had the compensation cost of our stock option plan been recognized under SFAS No. 123, based on the fair market value at the grant dates, our pro forma net loss and net loss per share would have been as follows:

4. Discontinued Operations

     As discussed above, during 2003, we identified 19 hotels, one office building and three land parcels for sale as part of our portfolio improvement strategy and our efforts to reduce debt and interest costs. Between April 1, 2004 and June 30, 2004, we sold three hotels for an aggregate sales price of $20.7 million. From the sale of these assets, we paid down debt of approximately $18.1 million.

     In accordance with SFAS No. 144, we have included the hotel assets sold during 2003 and 2004 as well as the hotel assets held for sale at June 30, 2004 (including any related impairment charges) in Discontinued Operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The assets held for sale at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and the liabilities related to these assets are separately disclosed in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Where the carrying values of the assets held for sale exceeded the estimated fair values, net of selling costs, we reduced the

9


 

LODGIAN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

carrying values and recorded impairment charges. We determine fair values using quoted market prices, when available, or other accepted valuation techniques. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, we recorded impairment charges of $0.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively, on assets held for sale. Where the estimated selling prices, net of selling costs, of assets held for sale exceeded the carrying values, we did not increase the carrying values of the assets. Among other criteria, we classify an asset as held for sale if we expect to dispose of it within one year.

At June 30, 2004, ten hotels and three land parcels were held for sale. At December 31, 2003, 18 hotels and three land parcels were held for sale. The following condensed combined table summarizes the assets and liabilities relating to the properties identified as held for sale as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003:

Refinancing Debt

     On June 25, 2004, we closed on the $370 million Merrill Lynch Mortgage Lending, Inc. (“Merrill Lynch Mortgage”) refinance (“Refinancing Debt”) secured by 64 of our hotels. We refinanced (1) our outstanding mortgage debt (“Merrill Lynch Exit Financing”) with Merrill Lynch Mortgage which, as of June 25, 2004, had a balance of $290.9 million, (2) certain of our outstanding mortgage debt (the “Lehman Financing”) with Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. (“Lehman”) which, as of June 25, 2004, had a balance of $56.1 million and (3) our outstanding mortgage debt on the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Macon, Georgia, in which we own a 60% interest that, as of June 25, 2004, had a balance of $6.9 million.

     Prepayment penalties totaling $2.7 million were paid on the Merrill Lynch Mortgage Exit Financing debt (not including $0.2 million allocated to discontinued operations). Deferred loan costs related to the Merrill Lynch Exit Financing debt, Lehman debt, and Macon debt that were written off and charged to other interest expense were $3.4 million, $3.3 million and nil, respectively (not including the write-off of $0.3 million and $0.4 million of deferred loan costs for Merrill Lynch and Lehman, respectively, that were allocated to discontinued operations). We purchased a swaption contract to hedge against rising interest rates until the interest rate on the fixed rate Refinancing Debt was determined. The swaption net cost of $1.9 million was expensed to other interest expense and the $1.1 million of loan origination fees incurred on the Floating Rate Debt was expensed to other interest expense with $0.8 million allocated to continuing operations (and $0.3 million allocated to discontinued operations).

     The Refinancing Debt consists of a loan of $110 million bearing a floating rate of interest (the “Floating Rate Debt”) and is secured by 29 of our hotels, and four loans totaling $260 million each bearing a fixed interest rate of 6.58% (the “Fixed Rate Debt”) and secured, in the aggregate, by 35 of our hotels. Merrill Lynch Mortgage also has the right to further divide the Refinancing Debt into first priority mortgage loans and mezzanine loans. Prior to any securitization of the four fixed rate loans, such loans will be cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized.

LODGIAN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

     Each of the four fixed rate loans (“Fixed Rate Loan”) comprising the Fixed Rate Debt is a five-year loan and bears a fixed rate of interest of 6.58%. Except as provided for through defeasance, we may not prepay the Fixed Rate Debt except during the 60 days prior to maturity. We may, after the earlier of 48 months after the closing of any Fixed Rate Debt or the second anniversary of the securitization of any Fixed Rate Debt, defease such Fixed Rate Debt, in whole, or in part.

     The Floating Rate Debt is a two-year loan with three one-year extension options and bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.40%. The first extension option will be available to us only if no defaults exist and we have entered into the requisite interest rate cap agreement. The second and third extension options will be available to us only if no defaults exist, a minimum debt yield ratio of 13% is met, and minimum debt service coverage ratios of 1.3x for the second extension and 1.35x for the third extension are met. An extension fee of 0.25% of the outstanding Floating Rate Debt is payable if we opt to exercise each of the second and third extensions. We may prepay the Floating Rate Debt in whole or in part, subject to a prepayment penalty in the amount of 3% of the amount prepaid during the first year of the loan and 1% of the amount prepaid during the second year of the loan. If the loan is prepaid after the second year of the loan, there is no prepayment penalty.

     The Refinancing Debt provides that when either (i) the debt yield ratio for the hotels securing the Floating Rate Debt or any Fixed Rate Loan for the trailing 12-month period is below 9% during the first year, 10% during the second year and 11%, 12% and 13% during each of the next three years (in the case of the Floating Rate Debt to the extent extended), or (ii) in the case of the Floating Rate Debt (to the extent extended), the debt service coverage ratio is less than 1.30x in the fourth year or 1.35x in the fifth year, excess cash flows produced by the mortgaged hotels securing the applicable loan (after payment of operating expenses, management fees, required reserves, service fees, principal and interest) must be deposited in a restricted cash account. These funds can be used for the prepayment of the applicable loan in an amount required to satisfy the applicable test, capital expenditures reasonably approved by the lender with respect to the hotels securing the applicable loan, and scheduled principal and interest payments due on the Floating Rate Debt of up to $0.9 million or any Fixed Rate Loan of up to $525,000, as applicable. Funds will no longer be deposited into the restricted cash account when the debt yield ratio and, if applicable, the debt service coverage ratio are sustained above the minimum requirements for three consecutive months and there are no defaults. As of August 9, 2004, our debt yield ratios were above the minimum requirements.

     Each loan comprising the Refinancing Debt is non-recourse; however, we have agreed to indemnify Merrill Lynch Mortgage in certain situations, such as fraud, waste, misappropriation of funds, certain environmental matters, asset transfers in violation of the loan agreements, or violation of certain single-purpose entity covenants. In addition, each loan comprising the Refinancing Debt will become full recourse in certain limited cases such as bankruptcy of a borrower or Lodgian. During the term of the Refinancing Debt, we will be required to fund, on a monthly basis, a reserve for furniture, fixtures and equipment equal to 4% of the previous month’s gross revenues from the hotels securing each of the respective loans comprising the Refinancing Debt.

     Third party paid loan costs, incurred as a part of the Refinancing Debt, totaling $5.4 million, were deferred and will be amortized using the effective yield method over five years for the Fixed Rate Debt and three years for the Floating Rate Debt.

     In the table above, approximately 75.6% of our long-term mortgage debt (including current portion) at June 30, 2004, bears interest at a fixed rate and 24.4% bears interest at a floating rate.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

   Franchise Agreements and Capital Expenditures

     We benefit from the superior brand qualities of the Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Marriott, Hilton and other brands, including the reputation of these brands, reservation bookings through their central reservation systems, global distribution systems, guest loyalty programs and brand Internet booking sites. Reservations made by means of these franchisor facilities generally account for approximately 30% of our total reservations.

14


 

LODGIAN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

     To obtain these franchise affiliations, we enter into franchise agreements with hotel franchisors that generally have terms of between 10 and 20 years. The franchise agreements typically authorize us to operate the hotel under the franchise name, at a specific location or within a specified area, and require that we operate a hotel in accordance with the standards specified by the franchisor. As part of our franchise agreements, we are generally required to pay a royalty fee, an advertising/marketing fee, a fee for the use of the franchisor’s nationwide reservation system and certain ancillary charges. Royalty fees generally range from 3.0% to 6.0% of gross room revenues, advertising/marketing fees generally range from 1.0% to 4.0% of gross room revenues and reservation system fees generally range from 1.0% to 2.0% of gross room revenues. In the aggregate, royalty fees, advertising/marketing fees and reservation fees for the various brands under which we operate our hotels range from 5.0% to 12.0% of gross room revenues.

     These costs vary with revenues and are not fixed commitments. Franchise fees incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003 were as follows:

                                 
    Three months ended
  Six months ended
    June 30, 2004   June 30, 2003   June 30, 2004   June 30, 2003

     During the term of the franchise agreements, the franchisors may require us to upgrade facilities to comply with their current standards. Our current franchise agreements terminate at various times and have differing remaining terms, for example, the terms of 3, 10 and 9 of our franchise agreements are scheduled to expire in 2004, 2005, and 2006, respectively. As franchise agreements expire, we may apply for a franchise renewal. In connection with renewals, the franchisor may require payment of a renewal fee, increased royalty and other recurring fees and substantial renovation of the facilities, or the franchisor may elect not to renew the franchise. The costs incurred in connection with these agreements are primarily monthly payments due to the franchisors based on a percentage of room revenues.

     If we do not comply with the terms of a franchise agreement, following notice and an opportunity to cure, the franchisor has the right to terminate the agreement, which could lead to a default under one or more of our loan agreements, and which could materially and adversely affect us. Prior to terminating a franchise agreement, franchisors are required to notify us of the areas of non-compliance and give us the opportunity to cure the non-compliance. In the past, we have been able to cure most cases of non-compliance and most defaults within the cure periods, and those events of non-compliance and defaults did not cause termination of our franchises or defaults on our loan agreements. If we perform an economic analysis of the hotel and determine that it is not economically feasible to comply with a franchisor’s requirements, we will either select an alternative franchisor or operate the hotel without a franchise affiliation.

     As of August 9, 2004, we have been notified that we were not in compliance with some of the terms of eight of our franchise agreements and have received default and termination notices from franchisors with respect to an additional six hotels. We cannot assure you that we will be able to complete our action plans (which we estimate will cost approximately $3.8 million) to cure the alleged defaults prior to the specified termination dates or be granted additional time in which to cure any defaults. We are not aware of any other instances of non-compliance with our franchise agreements.

     We believe that we will cure the non-compliance and defaults on these hotels before the applicable termination dates, but we cannot provide assurance that we will be able to do so or that we will be able to obtain additional time in which to do so. If a franchise agreement is terminated, we will either select an alternative franchisor or, with the respective lender’s approval, operate the hotel independently of any franchisor. However, terminating or changing the franchise affiliation of a hotel could require us to incur significant expenses, including liquidated damages, and capital expenditures. Our loan agreements generally prohibit a hotel from operating without a franchise.

LODGIAN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

     In addition, as part of our bankruptcy reorganization proceedings, we entered into stipulations with each of our major franchisors setting forth a timeline for completion of capital expenditures for some of our hotels. However, as of August 9, 2004, we have not completed the required capital expenditures for 32 hotels in accordance with the stipulations and estimate that completing those improvements will cost $19.8 million. Under the stipulations, the applicable franchisors could therefore seek to declare certain franchise agreements in default and, in certain circumstances, seek to terminate the franchise agreement. We have scheduled or have begun renovations on 17 of these hotels aggregating $8.5 million of the $19.8 million. In addition, five of these hotels are held for sale and represent $2.4 million of the $19.8 million.

     We agreed to renew our 15 Marriott franchise agreements during 2004 and to pay, over a three year period, a fee aggregating approximately $500,000, subject to offsets. In connection with these renewals, and after Marriott reviews the capital improvements we have made at our Marriott franchised hotels during 2004, Marriott may, in its reasonable business judgment, require us to make additional property improvements and to place amounts into a reserve account for the purpose of funding those property improvements.

     To comply with the requirements of our franchisors and to improve our competitive position in individual markets, we have enhanced our capital improvement program in 2004.

  Letters of Credit

     As of June 30, 2004, we had issued two irrevocable letters of credit totaling $3.6 million as guarantees to Zurich American Insurance Company and Donlen Fleet Management Services. These letters of credit will expire in November 2004 but may require renewal beyond that date. All letters of credit are fully collateralized by our cash (classified as restricted cash in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets).

  Self-insurance

     We are self-insured up to certain limits with respect to employee medical, employee dental, property insurance, general liability insurance, workers’ compensation, auto liability and other forms of insurance. We establish liabilities for these self-insured obligations annually, based on actuarial valuations and our history of claims. Should unanticipated events cause these claims to escalate beyond normal expectations, our financial condition and results of operations would be negatively impacted. As of June 30, 2004, and December 31, 2003, we had approximately $10.9 million and $10.0 million accrued for these liabilities, respectively.

     There are other types of losses for which we cannot obtain insurance at all or at a reasonable cost, including losses caused by acts of war. If an uninsured loss or a loss that exceeds our insurance limits were to occur, we could lose both the revenues generated from the affected hotel and the capital that we have invested. We also could be liable for any outstanding mortgage indebtedness or other obligations related to the hotel. Any such loss could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

     We believe that we maintain sufficient insurance coverage for the operation of our business.

  Litigation

     From time to time, as we conduct our business, legal actions and claims are brought against us. The outcome of these matters is uncertain. However, we believe that all currently pending matters will be resolved without a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Claims relating to the period before we filed for Chapter 11 protection are limited to the amounts approved by the Bankruptcy Court for settlement of such claims and are payable out of the disputed claims reserves provided for in our plans of reorganization, which in the case of the Joint Plan of Reorganization, consists of our common stock and Preferred Stock, and in the case of the Impac Plan of Reorganization, consists of cash. On July 26, 2004 the Preferred Stock was redeemed and cash of $2.2 million replaced the Preferred Stock shares held in the disputed claims reserve. As of June 30, 2004, approximately $20,000 in cash remained to be paid on the Impac claims. We have reserved for all claims approved by the Bankruptcy Court which have not yet been paid.

10. Stockholders’ Equity

     On June 25, 2004, we completed a public equity offering of 18,285,714 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a price of $10.50 per share. Net proceeds from this equity offering, after deducting the underwriting discount, advisory fee and other offering expenses, amounted to approximately $176.2 million.

     Additionally, immediately upon the consummation of the equity offering, we exchanged 3,941,115 shares of our common stock for 1,483,558 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (“the Preferred Share Exchange”) held by (1) certain affiliates of, and investments accounts managed by, Oaktree Capital Management, LLC, (2) an affiliate of Blackstone Real Estate Advisors and (3) Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, based on a common stock price of $10.50 per share. In the Preferred Share Exchange, Oaktree, Blackstone and Merrill Lynch received 2,262,661, 1,049,034 and 629,420 shares of our common stock, respectively. As part of the Preferred Share Exchange, we recorded a $1.6 million loss on preferred stock redemption for the 4% prepayment premium on the Preferred Stock shares that were converted to common stock.

11. New Accounting Pronouncements

     On July 1, 2003, in accordance with SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”, we reclassified the Preferred Stock to the liability section of the consolidated balance sheet and began presenting the related dividends in interest expense. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 150, we presented the Preferred Stock between liabilities and equity in our consolidated balance sheet (called the “mezzanine” section) and reported the Preferred Stock dividend as a deduction from retained earnings with no effect on our results of operations. In accordance with SFAS No. 150, the Preferred Stock and the dividends for the period prior to July 1, 2003, have not been reclassified.. Thus the Preferred Stock dividends for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 of $4.2 million and $8.5 million, respectively, are presented as part of interest expense while the Preferred Stock dividend for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 of $3.8 million and $7.6 million, respectively, are presented as a deduction from retained earnings.

     In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN 46”), to address perceived weaknesses in accounting for entities commonly known as special-purpose or off-balance sheet entities. In addition to numerous FASB Staff Positions written to clarify and improve the application of FIN 46, the FASB recently announced a deferral for certain entities, and an amendment to FIN 46 entitled FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN 46R”). FIN 46 establishes consolidation criteria for entities for which “control” is not easily discernible under Accounting Research Bulletin 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, which is based on the premise that holders of the equity of an entity, control the entity by virtue of voting rights. FIN 46 provides guidance for identifying the party with a controlling financial interest resulting from arrangements or financial interests rather than from voting interests. FIN 46 defines the term “variable interest entity” (“VIE”) and is based on the premise that if a business enterprise absorbs a majority of the VIE’s expected losses and/or receives a majority of its expected residual returns (measure of risk and reward), that enterprise (the primary beneficiary) has a controlling financial interest in the VIE. The assets, liabilities, and results of the activities of the VIE should be included in the consolidated financial statements of the primary beneficiary. We were required to adopt the provisions of FIN 46R relating to any interests in special-purpose entities (SPEs) as of December 31, 2003. In addition, during the first quarter of 2004, we were required to apply the provisions of FIN 46R to any other entities falling within its scope. The adoption of FIN 46 and the counterpart revision (FIN 46R) has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

12. Related Party Transactions

     Oaktree and Blackstone, representatives of which serve on our board of directors, and/or affiliates received 2,262,661 shares and 1,049,034 shares of common stock that were exchanged as part of the Preferred Share Exchange. Approximately $26.3 million and $11.1 million of the net proceeds from the equity offering were used to redeem the remaining shares of Preferred Stock held by Oaktree and Blackstone, respectively. Including the Preferred Share Exchange shares, Oaktree and Blackstone are currently the beneficial owners of 2,817,577 and 1,326,909 shares of our common stock, respectively.

     Richard Cartoon, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer between October 4, 2001 and October 13, 2003, is a principal in a business which we retained in October 2001 to provide Richard Cartoon’s services as Chief Financial Officer and other restructuring support and services. In addition to amounts paid for Richard Cartoon’s services as Chief Financial Officer, we were billed $28,000 and $47,000 including expenses, for other support and services provided by Richard Cartoon, LLC for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. Richard Cartoon, LLC is continuing to provide restructuring support and other services in the short-term.

     Until May 1, 2004, we had a revolving loan agreement with OCM Fund II that allowed us to borrow up to $2 million; however, all of our borrowings under that agreement were repaid in full in December 2003. The interest rate on the loan was 10% per annum, and in 2003 we paid $42,222 in interest to OCM Fund II on our borrowings. This revolving loan agreement, secured by two land parcels, expired on May 1, 2004. OCM Fund II is a greater than 10% stockholder, and Oaktree is the general partner of OCM Fund II. Russel S. Bernard, a principal of Oaktree and Sean F. Armstrong, a managing director of Oaktree, are directors of Lodgian.

     Merrill Lynch, which served as a joint lead managing underwriter in the offering with Citigroup (see Note 10), is currently the owner of 890,031 shares of our common stock, including 629,420 shares obtained as part of the Preferred Share Exchange, and warrants to purchase 4,287 shares of our common stock. Merrill Lynch also received approximately $6.7 million in cash from the net proceeds of the offering for the remaining shares of Preferred Stock held on July 26, 2004. In November 2002, in connection with our emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, we received exit financing of $302.7 million of senior and mezzanine debt provided by Merrill Lynch Mortgage, an affiliate of Merrill Lynch, which was refinanced as part of our Refinancing Debt in June 2004.

     On June 25, 2004 the public equity offering was completed along with the funding of the $370 million of Refinancing Debt with Merrill Lynch Mortgage. Lodgian paid Merrill Lynch an advisory fee of $1,440,000, a 1% origination fee on the Floating Rate Debt of $1.1 million, and prepayment penalties on the exit financing debt of $2.9 million.

13. Subsequent Events

     As previously discussed, between November 1, 2003 and August 9, 2004, we sold an office building and ten of the hotels identified for sale. One of these hotels was sold in 2003, five were sold in the first quarter of 2004, three were sold in the second quarter of 2004, and one hotel was sold subsequent to the second quarter 2004. Summarized below is certain financial data relating to the one hotel sold between July 1, 2004 and August 9, 2004:

     On July 26, 2004, we redeemed 4,048,183 shares of outstanding Series A Preferred Stock totaling approximately $114.0 million. The 79,278 shares of Preferred Stock that remained in the disputed claims reserve were replaced with approximately $2.2 million of cash. Approximately $4.5 million was paid for the 4% prepayment premium on the Preferred Stock when it was redeemed on July 26, 2004.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

     You should read the discussion below in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, set forth in “Item I. Financial Statements” included in this Form 10-Q. Also, the discussion which follows contains forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Executive Summary

     We are one of the largest independent owners and operators of full-service hotels in the United States in terms of our number of guest rooms and gross annual revenues, as reported by Hotel & Motel Management Magazine in September 2003. We are considered an independent owner and operator because we do not operate our hotels under our own name. We operate substantially all of our hotels under nationally recognized brands, such as “Crowne Plaza,” “Holiday Inn,” “Marriott,” and “Hilton”. As of August 9, 2004, we operated 87 hotels with an aggregate of 16,366 rooms, located in 30 states and Canada. Of the 87 hotels, 78 hotels, with an aggregate of 14,348 rooms, are part of our continuing operations, while nine hotels, with an aggregate of 2,018 rooms, are held for sale. Our portfolio of 87 hotels consists of:

    82 hotels that we wholly own and operate through subsidiaries;
 
    four hotels that we operate in joint ventures in which we have a 50% or greater voting equity interest and exercise control; and
 
    one hotel that we operate in a joint venture in which we have a 30% non-controlling equity interest.

     We consolidate all of these hotels in our financial statements, other than the one hotel in which we hold a minority interest and which we account for on the equity method.

     During 2003, we developed a portfolio improvement strategy which was consistent with our goals of operating a portfolio of profitable, well-maintained and appealing hotels at superior locations in strong markets. In accordance with this strategy and our efforts to reduce debt and interest costs, we identified 19 hotels, one office building and three land parcels for sale. Between November 1, 2003 and August 9, 2004, we sold the office building and ten of the nineteen hotels. As of August 9, 2004, our portfolio consisted of 87 hotels, 78 of which represent our continuing portfolio (including one hotel in which we have a non-controlling equity interest and which we do not consolidate).

Reverse Stock Split

     On April 27, 2004, our Board of Directors authorized a reverse stock split of our common stock in a ratio of one-for-three (1:3). The reverse split affected all of our issued and outstanding common shares, warrants, stock options and restricted stock. The record date for the reverse split was April 29, 2004 and our new common stock began trading under the split adjustment on April 30, 2004.

     Fractional shares which resulted from the reverse stock split were paid in cash. Each holder of a fractional share of common stock after the effective date of the reverse split has been paid cash equal to the product of (i) the average of the closing prices of the common stock for the last ten trading days prior to April 30, 2004, multiplied by (ii) the fraction of a share of common stock held by such holder.

     All amounts for common stock, warrants, stock options, restricted stock and all earnings per share computations have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this change in our capital structure.

Equity Offering

     On June 25, 2004, we completed an offering of 18,285,714 shares of common stock at a price of $10.50 per share. Net proceeds from this equity offering, after deducting the underwriting discount, advisory fee and other offering expenses, amounted to approximately $176.2 million. On July 26, 2004, approximately $114.0 million of

19


 

the net proceeds was to be used to redeem all of our outstanding Series A Preferred Stock shares including accrued dividends and a 4% prepayment premium, and approximately $2.2 million in cash replaced the 79,278 shares of Preferred Stock held in the disputed claims reserve. We intend to use approximately $35.2 million of the net proceeds to fund capital expenditures, of which $22.7 million was deposited into a reserve account with Merrill Lynch Mortgage as part of the Refinancing Debt. Approximately $3.0 million of the net proceeds of the equity offering was used to fund a reserve account pursuant to other requirements in our June 2004 debt refinancing agreements. We intend to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes including funding our growth strategy.

Series A Preferred Stock

     On June 25, 2004, immediately following the consummation of our equity offering, we exchanged 3,941,115 shares of our common stock for 1,483,558 shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by (1) certain affiliates of, and investments accounts managed by, Oaktree Capital Management, LLC, (2) an affiliate of Blackstone Real Estate Advisors and (3) Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, based on a common stock price of $10.50 per share. In the Preferred Share exchange, Oaktree, Blackstone and Merrill Lynch received 2,262,661, 1,049,034, and 629,420 shares of our common stock, respectively.

     On July 26, 2004, we used approximately $114.0 million of the net proceeds from the equity offering to redeem all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock including accrued dividends and a 4% prepayment premium, and approximately $2.2 million to replace the 79,278 shares of Preferred Stock held in the disputed claims reserve.

Summary of Continuing Operations

     Below is a summary of our results of operations, which are presented in more detail in “Results of Operations — Continuing Operations:”

    Revenues increased as a result of an increase in leisure and business travel as the hospitality industry and the economy continued to recover in the second quarter 2004. In addition, hotels that were renovated in 2003 experienced improved occupancy levels upon the completion of their renovations.
 
    Operating expenses, including direct hotel and other operating expenses, decreased $3.1 million in the second quarter 2004 as compared to the second quarter 2003. Our hotels were negatively affected by increased benefit costs for 401k, workers’ compensation, union costs and state unemployment tax rate increases, higher fuel costs, advertising, and repair and maintenance costs. The hotels benefited, however, from the stabilization of health insurance costs due to better claims experience, successful appeals on tax assessments, the settlement of a deferred ground rent obligation on one of our hotels and reduced corporate overhead costs primarily due to lower post-emergence bankruptcy costs. Depreciation and amortization costs were lower due to a reduced asset base from impairment charges. Finally, no impairment charges were recorded in the second quarter 2004, whereas, impairment charges were recorded in the second quarter 2003.
 
    Interest expense and other financing costs was impacted by the write-off of our deferred loan costs on the debt that was refinanced, the origination fee on the Refinancing Debt, and the costs incurred for a derivative instrument used to cap our interest rate exposure on the fixed-rate Refinancing Debt. Interest expense and other was also higher in the second quarter 2004 compared with the prior year because we did not incur interest on the debt related to 18 properties in 2003 until those properties emerged from Chapter 11 on May 22, 2003.
 
    Loss on preferred stock redemption represents the 4% prepayment premium due at the time the Preferred Stock shares were exchanged for common stock shares.
 
    Net loss attributable to common stock was $7.2 million for the second quarter 2004 and $6.3 million for the second quarter 2003.

Summary of Discontinued Operations

     As discussed above, during 2003, we identified 19 hotels, one office building and three land parcels for sale as part of our portfolio improvement strategy and our efforts to reduce debt and interest costs. Between November 1, 2003 and August 9, 2004, we sold ten of the nineteen hotels and the office building. Summarized below is certain financial data related to the ten hotels and one office building sold between November 1, 2003 and August 9, 2004:

Direct operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003
    12,918  
Other hotel operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003
    10,899  

     In accordance with SFAS No. 144, we have included the hotel assets sold during 2003 and 2004 as well as the hotel assets held for sale at June 30, 2004 (including any related impairment charges) in Discontinued Operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The assets held for sale at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and the liabilities related to these assets are separately disclosed in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Where the carrying values of the assets held for sale exceeded the estimated fair values, net of selling costs, we reduced the carrying values and recorded impairment charges. We determine fair values using quoted market prices, when available, or other accepted valuation techniques. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, we recorded impairment charges of $0.5 million and $2.6 million on assets held for sale. Where the estimated selling prices, net of selling costs, of assets held for sale exceeded the carrying values, we did not increase the carrying values of the assets. Among other criteria, we classify an asset as held for sale if we expect to dispose of it within one year.

     While we believe that the completion of these dispositions is probable, the sale of these assets is subject to market conditions and we cannot provide assurance that we will finalize the sale of all or any of these assets on favorable terms or at all.

     The results of operations of the other 77 hotels that we consolidate in our financial statements are reported in continuing operations. Our continuing operations reflect the results of operations of those hotels which we plan to retain in our portfolio for the foreseeable future.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

     Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. As we prepare our financial statements, we make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from our estimates. A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. Also, our critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, and we believe no changes have occurred.

Income Statement Overview

     The discussion below focuses primarily on our continuing operations. In the continuing operations discussions, we compare the results of operations for the 77 consolidated hotels which we plan to retain in our portfolio for the foreseeable future, for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003 and the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Income Statement Overview” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 for a general description of the categorization of our revenues and expenses.

     We have modified how we categorize our general, administrative and other expenses to better separate the general and administrative expenses that are hotel related from the expenses that relate to corporate overhead and

21


 

other. Accordingly, we have divided our general, administrative and other expenses into three expense categories: (1) other hotel operating expenses, (2) property and other taxes, insurance and leases, and (3) corporate and other.

RevPAR
  $ 50.10     $ 47.52     $ 2.58       5.4 %

     The 5.4% increase in room revenues is a result of a 1.6% increase in occupancy and a 3.8% increase in ADR (average daily rate). The 1.6% occupancy increase for the second quarter 2004 was negatively impacted by displacement at our hotels that were being renovated during the quarter. Renovation displacement occurs as we receive reservations at a hotel under renovation for which we cannot fulfill the room order because the room is out of service.

     Food and beverage revenues increased 2.4% over the same period last year primarily due to increased a la carte and banquet revenues resulting from higher occupancy levels. Other revenues declined by 0.8% and were affected by a 25.7% decline in telephone revenues as a result of the increased usage of cell phones by our guests as well as the availability of free high speed Internet access at most of our hotels. The reduction in telephone revenues was offset by an 8.1% increase in other (non-telephone) revenues, such as in-room movies, parking services, laundry services, sundries and snacks and golf and activity sales, which increased due to higher hotel occupancy levels.

RevPAR
  $ 47.47     $ 45.00     $ 2.47       5.5 %

     The 6.1% increase in room revenues is a result of a 5.5% increase in RevPAR and the impact of the leap year’s additional day in February. RevPAR increased as a result of a 2.8% increase in occupancy and a 2.6% increase in ADR.

22


 

     Food and beverage revenues increased 1.0% primarily due to increased banquet room rentals. Other revenues decreased 2.2% primarily driven by a 23.7% decrease in telephone revenues as a result of increased cell phone use by our guests and the availability of free high speed Internet service at most of our hotels. Other (non-telephone) revenues increased by 5.7% for the first six months of the year primarily due to increases in pay TV and parking revenues.

     Rooms expenses, which vary with room revenues, were higher due to increased revenues. However, rooms expenses did not increase proportionately as room revenues increased due to the moderating effect of the fixed portion of our room expenses. Rooms expenses as a percentage of room revenues for the second quarter 2004 were 26.4% as compared to 27.4% for the second quarter 2003. Total rooms expenses, on an actual cost per occupied room basis, were $20.52 for the second quarter 2004 as compared to $20.56 for second quarter 2003. Payroll and related benefits, on an actual cost per occupied room basis, were $13.01 for the second quarter 2004 as compared to $12.97 for the second quarter 2003. Other rooms expenses, on an actual cost per occupied room basis, decreased from $7.59 in the second quarter 2003 to $7.50 for the second quarter 2004 primarily driven by a decrease in cable television expenses.

     Food and beverage department expenses increased 2.8% in the second quarter 2004 as revenues increased 2.4%. Food and beverage costs as a percentage of revenues were 0.2% higher than second quarter 2003 partially due to higher salaries in the second quarter 2004.

     Other direct operating expenses include telephone service expenses and the costs of providing ancillary services to our guests such as in-room movies, parking, laundry and vending machine sales. Other direct operating expenses for the second quarter 2004 increased 12.8% as compared to the second quarter 2003 while other revenues declined 0.8%. Telephone expenses for the second quarter 2004 increased 5.1% as compared to the second quarter 2003 while ancillary service costs for the second quarter 2004 increased 16.8% as compared to the second quarter 2003 primarily due to an increase in parking costs.

     Total direct operating expenses as a percentage of revenues for the first six months of 2004 were 37.5% as compared to 38.4% in the same period 2003 due to continued cost containment programs. Rooms expenses increased 2.8% while room revenues increased 6.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2004. On a cost per occupied room basis, rooms expenses for the first six months of 2004 were $20.78 as compared to $20.91 in the

same period in 2003. Payroll and related benefits, on an actual cost per occupied room basis, were $13.24 for the first six months of 2004 as compared to $13.39 for the same period in 2003. Other rooms expenses, on an actual cost per occupied room basis, increased from $7.52 for the first six months of 2003 to $7.55 for the same period in 2004 primarily driven by increases in credit card commissions and guest loyalty program expenses.

     Food and beverage expenses increased 0.6% for the first six months of 2004 from the same period in 2003 as revenues increased 1.0%. Other direct operating expenses increased 7.1% for the first six months of 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003 while other revenues declined by 2.2%.

    Advertising and promotion costs increased $0.2 million, primarily as a result of salary and employee benefit increases;
 
    Franchise fees increased $0.5 million as a result of the increase in revenues and the increased cost of brand loyalty programs;
 
    Repairs and maintenance costs increased $0.2 million primarily as a result of our continuing preventative maintenance program and our renovation projects; and
 
    Utility costs increased $0.1 million as a result of rate and consumption increases.

     Property and other taxes, insurance and leases decreased $1.5 million as compared to second quarter 2003 as a result of stabilization in the insurance markets and improved loss experience, successful appeals related to property tax assessments, reductions in franchise taxes, and settlement of a deferred ground rent obligation at one of our hotels.

     Corporate and other expenses decreased 21.3% in the second quarter 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003 as a result of the significant reduction in post-emergence legal, professional and other costs related to the Chapter 11 proceedings. For the second quarter 2004, these costs totaled $0.1 million compared to $1.8 million for the second quarter 2003 (not including the $0.8 million of reorganization items).

     Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased as a result of our reduced asset base on the continuing operations hotels. The asset base on these hotels was reduced by a $1.4 million impairment charge in the second

quarter 2003 and subsequent impairment charges of $11.3 million recorded in the last six months of 2003 on assets held for use.

     Property and other tax savings of $0.7 million, insurance savings of $0.7 million, franchise tax savings of $0.2 million, and ground rent savings of $0.9 million in the first six months of 2004 were offset partially by equipment rental increases of $0.1 million.

     Corporate and other expenses decreased 23.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003 as a result of a significant reduction in post-emergence legal, professional and other costs related to the Chapter 11 proceedings. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 these costs totaled $0.3 million as compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 2003 (not including $2.0 million of reorganization items).

     Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $1.3 million as a result of our reduced asset base on the continuing operations hotels due to asset write-downs for impairment charges. The asset base on these hotels was reduced by a $1.4 million impairment charge in the second quarter 2003 and subsequent impairment charges of $11.3 million recorded in the last six months of 2003 on assets held for use.

     The Preferred Stock dividend relates to dividends on the Preferred Stock issued on November 25, 2002. Dividends for the second quarter 2004 were $4.2 million. In accordance with SFAS No. 150 effective for us on July 1, 2003, dividends relating to the period after the effective date are reported as interest expense. Dividends for the period prior to the effective date continue to be shown as a deduction from retained earnings with no effect on our results of operations. As a result, the $4.2 million dividend accrued for the second quarter 2004 is reported in interest expense while the $3.8 million dividend accrued for the period April 1, 2003 to June 30, 2003 is shown as a deduction from retained earnings.

     Other interest expense for the second quarter 2004 increased $13.0 million as compared to the same period in 2003 because of the following transactions:

  The $1.9 million net cost of the swaption contract to hedge against rising interest rates until the Fixed Rate Loans’ interest rate was locked;
 
  Prepayment penalties paid to Merrill Lynch Mortgage of $1.9 million on the Senior Loan and $0.8 million on the Mezzanine Loan (not including $0.2 million of prepayment penalties allocated to discontinued operations) with the extinguishment of Merrill Lynch Exit Financing debt;
 
  The write-off of $6.7 million in deferred loan costs ($3.3 million for Lehman, $3.4 million for Merrill Lynch and nil for Macon), not including $0.7 million in deferred loan costs allocated to discontinued operations, as a result of the extinguishment of the Merrill Lynch Mortgage, Lehman Debt and Macon Debt;
 
  The $0.8 million loan origination costs incurred as a part of the Refinancing Debt (not including $0.3 million of origination costs allocated to discontinued operations); and
 
  Loss on preferred stock redemption of $1.6 million representing the 4% prepayment premium on the Preferred Stock shares that were converted to common stock immediately following the consummation of our equity offering on June 25, 2004.

     We continue to incur expenses related to the Chapter 11 proceedings but currently report these expenses as part of general, administrative and other expenses. Reorganization items for the second quarter 2003 of $0.8 million represent Chapter 11 expenses incurred between April 1, 2003 and May 22, 2003 relating to the 18 hotels which emerged from Chapter 11 on May 22, 2003. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), all Chapter 11 expenses incurred in the second quarter 2003 from April 1, 2003 to May 22, 2003 that were related to the 18 hotels were reported as reorganization items.

     Minority interests represent the third party owners’ share of the net income of the four joint ventures in which we have a controlling equity interest. The aggregate results of these joint ventures for the second quarter 2004 were similar to the results for the second quarter 2003; hence our share of the joint ventures’ income for the second quarter 2004 was flat compared to the second quarter 2003.

26


 

     Other interest expense increased $14.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003 due to the purchase of a $1.9 million swaption contract, the write-off of $6.7 million of deferred loan costs due to the extinguishment of the Merrill Lynch Mortgage, Lehman Debt, and Macon Debt, $2.7 million of prepayment penalties for early retirement on the Merrill Lynch Mortgage debt, the expensing of $0.8 million in loan origination costs incurred as part of the Refinancing Debt and additional mortgage interest in 2004 on the former Lehman hotels since we did not pay interest expense during 2003 while the hotels were in Chapter 11.

     Loss on preferred stock redemption of $1.6 million represents the 4% prepayment premium on the Preferred Stock shares that were converted to common stock immediately following the consummation of our equity offering on June 25, 2004.

     Post-emergence bankruptcy charges incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2004 are included in corporate general and administrative expenses whereas reorganization expenses for the 18 hotels that were in Chapter 11 in the same period in 2003 are categorized as reorganization expenses per GAAP.

     The aggregate results of our four joint ventures in which we have a controlling equity interest for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were similar to the same period in 2003; hence, our share of the joint ventures’ income for six months ended June 30, 2004 is flat as compared to the same period in 2003.

Results of Operations — Discontinued Operations

     Discontinued operations include results of operations for both assets sold during the reporting period and assets that have been identified for sale. Consequently, the 10 hotels and three land parcels which were held for sale at June 30, 2004, as well as the 18 hotels and the office building that were disposed of between January 1, 2003 and June 30, 2004, are included in discontinued operations. We present the current quarter’s results of these hotels as discontinued operations as well as the comparative results for the prior quarter.

     Second quarter 2004 revenues and expenses reflected in discontinued operations above are not fully comparable with the second quarter 2003 revenues and expenses as a result of the following:

  For the second quarter 2004 there are no revenues and expenses in the table for the hotel and office building sold during 2003 and the five properties sold in first quarter 2004. Hence, the second quarter 2003 results reflect the full quarter’s operations for these seven properties. For the second quarter 2003, revenues for these seven properties were $3.8 million and direct operating expenses were $1.6 million in aggregate.
 
  Less than a full quarter’s revenues and expenses are included in the results for the second quarter 2004 for the three hotels sold at various intervals during the quarter.

     Additionally, the following factors affected the results of the hotels included in discontinued operations:

  Depreciation on these hotels was suspended by our classification of these assets as held for sale. Fourteen of the nineteen hotels were identified for sale in June 2003 and therefore the full quarter’s depreciation would have been recorded in the second quarter 2003 with no depreciation on these assets recorded during the second quarter 2004. Impairment charges of $0.5 million recorded in the second quarter 2004 represent the excess of the carrying values of assets held for sale over the revised estimated selling price less estimated selling costs.

28


 

  Interest expense increased as a result of the Lehman Financing which was executed in May 2003 and which replaced debt on which we were not required to pay interest while the related hotels were in Chapter 11.
 
  The gain on asset dispositions of $4.2 million represents the gain on sale of two of the three hotels sold during the second quarter 2004.

    *The six months ended June 30, 2003 revenues and expenses in the table above includes de minimus amounts for the eight hotels conveyed to a lender in January 2003 and the one hotel returned to the lessor of a capital lease, also in January 2003.

     The six months ended June 30, 2004 revenues and expenses reflected in discontinued operations above are not fully comparable with the six months ended June 30, 2003 revenues and expenses as a result of the following:

  For the six months ended June 30, 2004 there are no revenues and expenses in the table for the hotel and office building sold during 2003. The hotel was sold in November 2003 and the office building was sold in December 2003. Hence, the six months ended June 30, 2003 results reflect the full period’s operations for these two properties. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, revenues for these two properties were $1.4 million and direct operating expenses were $0.6 million in aggregate.
 
  Less than six month’s revenues and expenses are included in the results for the six months ended June 30, 2004 for the eight hotels sold at various intervals during the period.

     Additionally the following factors affected the results of the hotels included in discontinued operations:

29


 

  Depreciation on these hotels was suspended by our classification of these assets as held for sale. All nineteen hotels were identified for sale in June 2003 or later and hence the full six months depreciation would have been recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2003 with no depreciation on these assets being recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2004. Impairment charges of $2.6 million and $2.1 million were recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003, respectively, which represent the excess of the carrying values of assets held for sale over the revised estimated selling price less estimated selling costs.
 
  Interest expense increased as a result of the Lehman Financing which was executed in May 2003 and which replaced debt on which we were not required to pay interest while the related hotels were in Chapter 11.
 
  The gain on asset dispositions of $7.2 million represents the gain on sale of six of the eight hotels sold during the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Income taxes

     At December 31, 2003, we had available net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $270 million for federal income tax purposes, which will expire in 2004 through 2023. Our reorganization under Chapter 11 resulted in an ownership change, as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Consequently, our ability to use the net operating loss carryforwards to offset future income is subject to certain annual limitations.

     The recently concluded equity offering resulted in another Section 382 ownership change, placing further limitations on the Company’s ability to utilize these losses. Due to these and other limitations, a portion or all of the net operating loss carryforwards could expire unused. At December 31, 2003, we established a valuation allowance of $140.0 million to fully offset our net deferred tax asset.

EBITDA

     We use earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) to measure our performance and to assist us in the assessment of hotel property values. EBITDA is also a widely-used industry measure. However, EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and should not be used as a substitute for measures such as net income (loss), cash flows from operating activities, or other measures computed in accordance with GAAP. Depreciation and amortization are significant non-cash expenses for us as a result of the high proportion of our assets which are long-lived, including property, plant and equipment. We depreciate property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives and amortize deferred financing and franchise fees over the term of the applicable agreements. We also believe that EBITDA provides pertinent information to investors and is an additional indicator of our operating performance.

     The following table presents EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, for the second quarter 2004 and second quarter 2003 and the six months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003, and provides a reconciliation with the loss from continuing operations, a GAAP measure:

EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 is also after deducting reorganization expenses of $0.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

Additional Financial Information Regarding Quarterly Results of Our Continuing Operations

     The following table presents certain quarterly data for our continuing operations for the six quarters ended June 30, 2004. The data have been derived from our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods indicated. Our unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on substantially the same basis as our audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments we consider to be necessary to present fairly this information when read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for certain quarters may vary from the amounts previously reported on our Forms 10-Q filed for prior quarters due to timing of our identification of assets held for sale during the course of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. The allocation of results of operations between our continuing operations and discontinued operations, at the time of the quarterly filings, was based on the assets held for sale, if any, as of the dates of those filings. This table represents the comparative quarterly operating results for the 77 hotels classified in continuing operations at June 30, 2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working Capital

     We use our cash flows primarily for operating expenses, debt service, and capital expenditures. Currently, our principal sources of liquidity consist of cash flows from operations and existing cash balances. Cash flows from operations may be adversely affected by factors such as a reduction in demand for lodging or certain large scale renovations being performed at our hotels. To the extent that significant amounts of our accounts receivable are due from airline companies, a further downturn in the airline industry also could materially and adversely affect the collectibility of our accounts receivable, and hence our liquidity. At June 30, 2004, airline receivables represented

36


 

approximately 18.2% of our accounts receivable, net of allowances. A further downturn in the airline industry could also affect our revenues by decreasing the aggregate levels of demand for travel. Between November 1, 2003 and August 9, 2004, we sold ten hotels and an office building with another nine hotels and three land parcels classified as assets held for sale. The aggregate sales price from the sale of the ten hotels and office building sold between November 1, 2003 and August 9, 2004, was $51.6 million, $38.7 million of which was used to pay down debt and $9.4 million of which was used for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures.

     Our ability to make scheduled debt service payments and fund operations and capital expenditures depends on our future performance and financial results, including the successful implementation of our business strategy and, to a certain extent, the general condition of the lodging industry and the general economic, political, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory environment. In addition, our ability to refinance our indebtedness depends to a certain extent on these factors as well. Many factors affecting our future performance and financial results, including the severity and duration of macro-economic downturns, are beyond our control. See “Matters Which May Affect Future Results — Risks Related to Our Business” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

     In June 2004, we completed an offering to the public of our common stock, the purpose of which was to redeem our outstanding Preferred Stock, to fund capital expenditures related to renovations and repositionings of selected hotels, and for general corporate purposes including funding our growth strategy. In connection with this offering, we refinanced approximately $370 million of our floating rate mortgage debt in order to extend maturities and to convert a substantial portion of floating rate debt to fixed rate debt.

     We intend to continue to use our cash flow to make scheduled debt service payments and fund operations and capital expenditures and, therefore, do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

     Although we have emerged from Chapter 11, the distribution of shares to general unsecured creditors is not complete as we continue to reconcile the claims made by these creditors. We have established a disputed claims reserve out of which those claims will be paid. Until this process is complete, we will continue to incur expenses in respect of these claims as well as Bankruptcy Court fees and professional fees.

     In accordance with GAAP, all assets held for sale, including assets that would normally be classified as long-term assets in the normal course of business, were reported as “assets held for sale” in current assets. Similarly, all liabilities related to assets held for sale were reported as “liabilities related to assets held for sale” in current liabilities, including debt that would otherwise be classified as long-term liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

     At June 30, 2004, we had working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $49.4 million compared to $2.4 million at December 31, 2003. Working capital of $2.4 million as of December 31, 2003 was determined based on current assets and current liabilities as of that date. Had the preferred stock liability been classified as a current liability at December 31, 2003, consistent with the classification as of June 30, 2004, the working capital deficit would have been 139.7 million. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Debt, Contractual Obligations and Franchise Agreements — Exit Financing” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 with respect to our decision to include the Merrill Lynch Mortgage debt financing in long-term debt.

     The increase in working capital was primarily the result of an increase in cash and cash equivalents due to the cash proceeds received from the June 2004 common stock offering. The net proceeds to us from the common stock offering approximated $176.2 million, of which approximately $25.7 million was used to fund reserve accounts with Merrill Lynch Mortgage ($22.7 million for capital expenditures and $3.0 million for other requirements related to a hotel ground lease) pursuant to requirements in our June 2004 Refinancing Debt agreements. The remaining $150.6 million in cash proceeds received from the offering was held in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2004. On July 26, 2004, we used approximately $114.0 million of the proceeds from our equity offering to redeem all of our outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, including accrued dividends and a 4% prepayment premium. Approximately $2.2 million in cash replaced the 79,278 shares of Preferred Stock held in the disputed claims reserve.

     During the second quarter 2004 and the six months ended June 30, 2004, we spent approximately $7.9 million and $12.9 million, respectively, on capital expenditures. We expect to spend an additional $30.1 million during the

37


 

remainder of 2004, with an additional $10.5 million that will be spent in the first quarter 2005 to complete the projects started in 2004, thereby completing substantially all of our deferred renovations.

     We believe that the combination of our current cash, cash flows from operations, capital expenditure escrows and the proceeds of asset sales will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the next 24 months.

     Our ability to meet our long-term cash needs is dependent on the continuation and extent of the recovery of the economy and the lodging industry, improvement in our operating results, the successful implementation of our portfolio improvement strategy and our ability to obtain third party sources of capital on favorable terms as and when needed. In the short term, we continue to diligently monitor our costs. Our future liquidity needs and sources of working capital are subject to uncertainty and we can provide no assurance that we will have sufficient liquidity to be able to meet our operating expenses, debt service requirements, including scheduled maturities, and planned capital expenditures. We could lose the right to operate certain hotels under nationally recognized brand names, and furthermore, the termination of one or more franchise agreements could lead to defaults and acceleration under one or more loan agreements as well as obligations to pay liquidated damages under the franchise agreements. See “Matters Which May Affect Future Results — Risks Related to Our Business” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, for further discussion of conditions that could adversely affect our estimates of future liquidity needs and sources of working capital.

Cash Flow

  Operating Activities

     Net cash provided by operating activities was $11.1 million and $13.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Although EBITDA of $33.7 million for six months ended June 30, 2004 was $10.6 million higher than six months ended June 30, 2003, net cash provided by operating activities was $2.0 million lower in the six months ended June 30, 2004 primarily as the result of the release of bankruptcy-related restricted cash during 2003.

     During the six months ended June 30, 2003, $10.8 million of restricted cash was released and made available for our operations.

  Investing Activities

     Investing activities provided net cash flow of $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 while investing activities accounted for a net cash outflow of approximately $13.3 million for the first six months of 2003. The increase in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003 is primarily a result of cash inflows from the sale of hotels during the six months ended June 30, 2004. Net proceeds from the sale of eight hotels during the six months ended June 30, 2004 totaled $33.9 million. Investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2004 also consisted of deposits to lender controlled capital reserves of $20.5 million and capital expenditure outlays of $12.9 million. Due primarily to large scale renovations being performed at some of our hotels during the six months ended June 30, 2003, capital expenditures totaled $19.5 million, which were partially funded by withdrawals of $7.0 million from lender-controlled capital expenditure escrows.

  Financing activities

     The increase in financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2004 was primarily due to the proceeds received from the equity offering of our common stock in June 2004 of $176.2 million, net of the underwriting discount, offset by approximately $3.8 million of other expenses we incurred related to the equity offering.

     Primarily as a result of our debt refinance with Merrill Lynch and the sale of eight hotels, we paid down portions of our debt in the six months ended June 30, 2004. Principal payments, including scheduled principal payments, were approximately $393.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared with principal payments and the refinance of 18 of our hotels upon their emergence from Chapter 11 of $78.8 million in the six

38


 

months ended June 30, 2003. Financing activities also consisted of payments of financing costs of $5.4 million and $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively.

     On September 18, 2003, we drew down the full availability of $2.0 million under a revolving credit facility with OCM Real Estate Opportunities Fund II, L.P. (the “OCM Fund”). The revolving loan agreement, secured by two land parcels, expired on May 1, 2004. We did not renew the facility on May 1, 2004. Borrowings under the facility bore interest at the fixed rate of 10% per annum and were repaid in December 2003 out of the proceeds we received from the sale of an office building.

Debt, Contractual Obligations and Franchise Agreements

     See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Debt, Contractual Obligations and Franchise Agreements” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 and the Notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” herein for more information on our debt, contractual obligations and franchise agreements, including the following:

    Our existing mortgage debt and refinancing plans;
 
    Encumbrances on our properties;
 
    Our Preferred Stock; and
 
    Our franchise agreements and capital expenditures.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

     We have no off balance sheet arrangements.

Market Risk

     We are exposed to interest rate risks on our variable rate debt. At June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, we had outstanding variable rate debt of approximately $110.0 million and $382.8 million, respectively.

     In order to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates with the U.S. portion of the exit financing received in November 2002 ($299.3 million at December 31, 2003), we entered into two interest rate cap agreements, which allowed us to obtain exit financing at floating rates and effectively cap them at LIBOR of 6.44% plus the spread. If LIBOR exceeded 6.44%, the contracts would have required settlement of net interest receivable at specified intervals, which generally coincide with the dates on which interest was payable on the underlying debt. If LIBOR would have been below 6.44%, there would have been no settlement from the interest rate caps. Therefore, we were exposed to interest rate risks on the exit financing debt for increases in LIBOR up to 6.44% but we were not exposed to increases in LIBOR above 6.44% because settlements from the interest rate caps would have offset the incremental interest expense. The one-month LIBOR as of June 30, 2004 was 1.36%. The notional principal amount of the interest rate caps outstanding was $302.2 million at December 31, 2003.

     On May 22, 2003, we finalized the $80 million Lehman Financing. The Lehman Financing was a two-year term loan with an optional one-year extension and bore interest at the higher of 7.25% or LIBOR plus 5.25%. In order to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates with the Lehman Financing, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement, which allowed us to obtain this financing at a partial floating rate and effectively capped the interest rate at LIBOR of 5.00% plus 5.25%. When LIBOR exceeded 5.00%, the contracts would have required settlement of net interest receivable at specified intervals, which generally coincided with the dates on which interest was payable on the underlying debt. If LIBOR would have fallen below 5.00%, there would have been no settlement from the interest rate cap. We were exposed to interest rate risks on the Lehman Financing for LIBOR of between 2.00% and 5.00%. The notional principal amount of the interest rate cap outstanding was $79.2 million at December 31, 2003.

39


 

     On June 25, 2004, we refinanced both the exit financing and Lehman financing with Merrill Lynch Mortgage. The new refinancing is organized in four fixed rate pools and one floating rate pool. In order to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates with the floating pool, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement, which allowed us to obtain this financing at a floating rate and effectively cap the interest rate at LIBOR of 5.00% plus 3.40%. When LIBOR exceeds 5.00%, the contract requires settlement of net interest receivable at specified intervals, which generally coincide with the dates on which interest is payable on the underlying debt. When LIBOR is below 5.00%, there is no settlement from the interest rate cap. We are exposed to interest rate risks on the floating pool for increases in LIBOR up to 5.00%, but we are not exposed to increases in LIBOR above 5.00% because settlements from the interest rate caps would offset the incremental interest expense. The notional principal amount of the interest rate cap outstanding was $110.0 million at June 30, 2004.

     The fair value of the interest rate cap related to Refinanced Debt as of June 30, 2004 was approximately $175,000. The fair values of the two interest rate caps related to the Merrill Lynch Exit Financing and the one cap related to the Lehman Financing as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 were approximately $15,000 and nil, respectively. The fair values of the interest rate caps were recognized on the balance sheet in other assets. Adjustments to the carrying values of the interest rate caps are reflected in interest expense.

     With respect to the fair market value of the four interest rate caps, we believe that our interest rate risk at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 was minimal. The impact on annual results of operations of a hypothetical one-point interest rate reduction on the interest rate caps as of June 30, 2004 would be a reduction in net income of approximately $145,000. These derivative financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. However, we have not elected the hedging requirements of SFAS No. 133.

     The nature of our fixed rate obligations does not expose us to fluctuations in interest payments. The impact on the fair value of our fixed rate obligations of a hypothetical one-point interest rate increase on the outstanding fixed-rate debt as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 would be approximately $13.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

     In addition, the hotel business is inherently capital intensive, as the vast majority of assets are hotels, which are long-lived. Lodgian’s exposure to market risk associated with changes in interest rates relates primarily to its debt obligations. As of June 30, 2004, approximately 24.4% of the long-term debt carries floating rates of interest. For the balance of long-term debt, the nature of fixed rate obligations does not expose us to the risk of changes in the fair value of these instruments. Our outstanding debt was $457.7 million, at June 30, 2004, including current maturities and long-term debt related to assets held for sale.

     At June 30, 2004, approximately $110.0 million of debt instruments outstanding were subject to changes in the LIBOR rate. Without regard to additional borrowings under those instruments or scheduled amortization, the annualized effect of each twenty five basis point increase in LIBOR would be a reduction in income before income taxes of approximately $0.3 million. The fair value of the fixed rate debt (book value $341.1 million) at June 30, 2004 is estimated at $350.5 million.

    Requirements of franchise agreements, including the right of some franchisors to immediately terminate their respective agreements if we breach certain provisions;
 
    Seasonality of the hotel business;
 
    The financial condition of the airline industry and its impact on air travel;
 
    The effect that Internet reservation channels may have on the rates that we are able to charge for hotel rooms;
 
    Increases in the cost of debt and our continued compliance with the terms of our loan agreements;

    Potential litigation and/or governmental inquiries and investigations;
 
    Laws and regulations applicable to our business, including federal, state or local hotel, resort, restaurant or land use regulations, employment, labor or disability laws and regulations;
 
    The short time that the public market for our new securities has existed; and
 
    The risks identified under “Risks Related to Our Business” and “Risks Relating to Our Common Stock” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

     Any of these risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated. Although we believe the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained and caution you not to place undue reliance on such statements.

Many of these factors are not within our control and we caution you not to put undue reliance on forward looking statements.

Inflation

     We have not determined the precise impact of inflation. However, we believe that the rate of inflation has not had a material effect on our revenues or expenses in recent years. It is difficult to predict whether inflation will have a material effect on our results in the long-term.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

     From time to time, as we conduct our business, legal actions and claims are brought against us. The outcome of these matters is uncertain. However, we believe that all currently pending matters will be resolved without a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Claims relating to the period before we filed for Chapter 11 protection are limited to the amounts approved by the Bankruptcy Court for settlement of such claims and are payable out of the disputed claims reserves provided for in our plans of reorganization, which in the case of the Joint Plan of Reorganization, consists of our securities, and in the case of the Impac Plan of Reorganization, consists of $0.1 million of cash as of June 30, 2004. We have reserved for all claims approved by the Bankruptcy Court which have not yet been paid.

42


 

Item 2. Changes in Securities

     On April 27, 2004, our Board of Directors authorized a reverse stock split of our common stock in a ratio of one-for-three (1:3). The reverse split affected all of our issued and outstanding common shares, warrants, restricted stock and stock options. The record date for the reverse split was April 29, 2004 and our new common stock began trading under the split adjustment on April 30, 2004.

     At the annual meeting of stockholders on April 8, 2004, our stockholders authorized us to affect a reverse split of our common stock at one of the following ratios:

    1-for-1 ½;
 
    1-for-2;
 
    1-for-2 ½;
 
    1-for-3;
 
    1-for-3 ½; and
 
    1-for-4

     as determined by the Board of Directors.

     Fractional shares which resulted from the reverse stock split were paid in cash. Each holder of a fractional share of common stock after the effective date of the reverse split was paid in cash equal to the product of (i) the average of the closing prices of the common stock for the last ten trading days prior to April 30, 2004, multiplied by (ii) the fraction of a share of common stock held by such holder.

     Also, at the annual meeting of stockholders on April 8, 2004, our stockholders authorized an increase in our authorized share capital from 40 million to 70 million shares.

     On June 25, 2004, we completed an equity offering of 18,285,714 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a price of $10.50 per share. Net proceeds from this equity offering, after deducting the underwriting discount, advisory fee and other offering expenses, amounted to approximately $176.2 million.

     We have not declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock and our board of directors do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that all of our earnings and other cash resources, if any, will be retained to fund our business and will be available for other strategic opportunities that may develop. Future dividend policy will be subject to the discretion of our board of directors, and will be contingent upon our results of operations, financial position, cash flow, liquidity, capital expenditure plan and requirements, general business conditions, restrictions imposed by financing arrangements, if any, legal and regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant.

     The Preferred Stock issued on November 25, 2002 (the date on which the first of the two plans of reorganization became effective) accrued dividends at the rate of 12.25% per annum. As required, we paid the dividend due on November 21, 2003 by issuing additional shares of Preferred Stock, except for fractional shares which we paid in cash.

     On June 25, 2004, immediately following the consummation of our equity offering, we exchanged 3,941,115 shares of our common stock for 1,483,558 shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by (1) certain affiliates of, and investments accounts managed by, Oaktree Capital Management, LLC, (2) an affiliate of Blackstone Real Estate Advisors, and (3) Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, based on a common stock price of $10.50 per share. In the Preferred Share exchange, Oaktree, Blackstone and Merrill Lynch received 2,262,661, 1,049,034, and 629,420 shares of our common stock, respectively.

43


 

     On July 26, 2004, we used approximately $114.0 million of the net proceeds from the equity offering to redeem all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock including accrued dividends and a 4% prepayment premium; and approximately $2.2 million replaced the 79,278 shares of Preferred Stock held in the disputed claims reserve, an amount equal to the liquidation preference of those shares, plus accrued dividends and a 4% prepayment premium.

("Citigroup") and each of the other Underwriters named in Schedule A hereto (collectively, the "Underwriters," which term shall also include any underwriter substituted as hereinafter provided in Section 10 hereof), with respect to the issue and sale by the Company and the purchase by the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, of the respective numbers of shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company ("Common Stock") set forth in said Schedule A, and with respect to the grant by the Company to the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, of the option described in Section 2(b) hereof to purchase all or any part of 2,742,857 additional shares of Common Stock to cover overallotments, if any. The aforesaid 18,285,714 shares of Common Stock (the "Initial Securities") to be purchased by the Underwriters and all or any part of the 2,742,857 shares of Common Stock subject to the option described in Section 2(b) hereof (the "Option Securities") are hereinafter called, collectively, the "Securities." The Company understands that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of the Securities as soon as they deem advisable after this Agreement has been executed and delivered. The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-113410), as amended, including the related preliminary prospectus or prospectuses, covering the registration of the Securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). Promptly after execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will prepare and file a prospectus in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430A ("Rule 430A") of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1933 Act (the "1933 Act Regulations") and paragraph (b) of Rule 424 ("Rule 424(b)") of the 1933 Act Regulations. The information included in such prospectus that was omitted from such registration statement at the time it became effective but that is deemed to be part of such registration statement at the time it became effective pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rule 430A is referred to as "Rule 430A Information." Each prospectus used before such registration statement became effective, and any prospectus that omitted the Rule 430A Information, that was used after such effectiveness and prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, is herein called a "preliminary prospectus." Such registration statement, including the exhibits and any schedules thereto, at the time it became effective, and including the Rule 430A Information, is herein called the "Registration Statement." Any registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations is herein referred to as the "Rule 462(b) Registration Statement," and after such filing the term "Registration Statement" shall include the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement. The final prospectus in the form first furnished to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offering of the Securities is herein called the "Prospectus." For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system ("EDGAR"). SECTION 1. Representations and Warranties. (a) Representations and Warranties by the Company. The Company represents and warrants to each Underwriter as of the date hereof (except as otherwise specifically provided herein), as of the Closing Time referred to in Section 2(c) hereof, and as of each Date of Delivery (if any) referred to in Section 2(b) hereof, and agrees with each Underwriter, as follows: (i) Compliance with Registration Requirements. Each of the Registration Statement, any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective under the 1933 Act and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has been issued under the 1933 Act and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, are contemplated by the Commission, and any request on the part of the Commission for additional information has been complied with. At the respective times the Registration Statement, any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto became effective and at the Closing Time (and, if any Option Securities are purchased, at the Date of Delivery), the Registration Statement, the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement and any amendments and supplements thereto complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. Neither the Prospectus nor any amendments or supplements thereto, at the time the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement was issued and at the Closing Time (and, if any Option Securities are purchased, at the Date of Delivery), included or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The representations and warranties in this subsection shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement or Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through Merrill Lynch expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto). 2 Each preliminary prospectus and the prospectus filed as part of the Registration Statement as originally filed or as part of any amendment thereto complied when so filed in all material respects with the 1933 Act Regulations and each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus delivered to the Underwriters for use in connection with this offering was identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

In giving such opinion such counsel may rely, as to all matters governed by the laws of jurisdictions other than the law of the State of New York and the federal law of the United States and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, upon the opinions of counsel satisfactory to the Underwriters. Such counsel may also state that, insofar as such opinion involves factual matters, they have relied, to the extent they deem proper, upon certificates of officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and certificates of public officials. (d) Officers' Certificate. At Closing Time, there shall not have been, since the date hereof or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, and the Underwriters shall have received a certificate of the President or an Executive Vice President of the Company and of the chief financial or chief accounting officer of the Company, dated as of Closing Time, to the effect that (i) there has been no such material adverse change, (ii) the representations and warranties in Section 1(a) hereof are true and correct with the same force and effect as though expressly made at and as of Closing Time, (iii) the Company has complied with all agreements and satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to Closing Time, and (iv) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to their knowledge, contemplated by the Commission.

At Closing Time, the Underwriters shall have received from Deloitte & Touche LLP a letter, dated as of Closing Time, to the effect that they reaffirm the statements made in the letter furnished pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section, except that the specified date referred to shall be a date not more than three business days prior to Closing Time. (g) Approval of Listing. At Closing Time, the Securities shall have been approved for listing on the American Stock Exchange, subject only to official notice of issuance. (h) No Objection. The NASD shall have confirmed that it has not raised any objection with respect to the fairness and reasonableness of the underwriting terms and arrangements. (i) Lock-up Agreements. At the date of this Agreement, the Underwriters shall have received (i) an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto signed by each director or officer of the Company listed on Schedule C hereto; and (ii) an agreement from each of OCM Real Estate Opportunities Fund II, L.P., Third Avenue Value Fund and BRE HY Funding LLC substantially in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit C, Exhibit D, and Exhibit E, respectively. 15 (j) Refinancing Debt. At the Closing Time, Merrill Lynch Mortgage shall have funded to the Company $370 million of Refinancing Debt pursuant to the Loan Agreements. (k) Conditions to Purchase of Option Securities. In the event that the Underwriters exercise their option provided in Section 2(b) hereof to purchase all or any portion of the Option Securities, the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein and the statements in any certificates furnished by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company hereunder shall be true and correct as of each Date of Delivery and, at the relevant Date of Delivery, the Underwriters shall have received: (i) Officers' Certificate. A certificate, dated such Date of Delivery, of the President or an Executive Vice President of the Company and of the chief financial or chief accounting officer of the Company confirming that the certificate delivered at the Closing Time pursuant to Section 5(d) hereof remains true and correct as of such Date of Delivery. (ii) Opinion of Counsel for Company. The favorable opinion of Morris, Manning & Martin LLP, counsel for the Company, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters, dated such Date of Delivery, relating to the Option Securities to be purchased on such Date of Delivery and otherwise to the same effect as the opinion required by Section 5(b) hereof. (iii) Opinion of Counsel for Underwriters. The favorable opinion of Sidley Austin Brown & Wood LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, dated such Date of Delivery, relating to the Option Securities to be purchased on such Date of Delivery and otherwise to the same effect as the opinion required by Section 5(c) hereof. (iv) Bring-down Comfort Letter. A letter from Deloitte & Touche LLP, in form and substance satisfactory to the Underwriters and dated such Date of Delivery, substantially in the same form and substance as the letter furnished to the Underwriters pursuant to Section 5(f) hereof, except that the "specified date" in the letter furnished pursuant to this paragraph shall be a date not more than five days prior to such Date of Delivery. (l) Additional Documents. At Closing Time and at each Date of Delivery, counsel for the Underwriters shall have been furnished with such documents and opinions as they may require for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon the issuance and sale of the Securities as herein contemplated, or in order to evidence the accuracy of any of the representations or warranties, or the fulfillment of any of the conditions, herein contained; and all proceedings taken by the Company in connection with the issuance and sale of the Securities as herein contemplated shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters. (m) Termination of Agreement. If any condition specified in this Section shall not have been fulfilled when and as required to be fulfilled, this Agreement, or, in the case of any condition to the purchase of Option Securities, on a Date of Delivery which is after the Closing Time, the obligations of the several Underwriters to purchase the relevant Option Securities, may be terminated by the Underwriters by notice to the Company at any time at or prior to Closing Time or such Date of Delivery, as the case may be, and such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 4 and except that Sections 1, 6, 7, 8 and 14 shall survive any such termination and remain in full force and effect. 16 SECTION 6. Indemnification. (a) Indemnification of Underwriters. (1) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, as such term is defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act (each, an "Affiliate"), its selling agents and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows: (i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430A Information or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 6(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; (iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by Merrill Lynch), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above; provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through Merrill Lynch expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430A Information or any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto). (2) In addition to, and without limitation of the Company's obligation to indemnify Citigroup as an Underwriter under the other paragraphs of this Section 6, the Company also agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Independent Underwriter, its Affiliates and selling agents and each person, if any, who controls the Independent Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, from and against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject, insofar as such loss, liability, claim or damage (or action in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon Independent Underwriter's acting as a "qualified independent underwriter" (within the meaning of NASD Conduct Rule 2720) in connection with the offering contemplated by this Agreement, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Independent Underwriter. 17 (b) Indemnification of Company, Directors and Officers. Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a)(1) of this Section, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430A Information or any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through Merrill Lynch expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or such preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto). (c) Actions against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(a)(1) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by Merrill Lynch, and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(b) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Company. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances; provided, that, if indemnity is sought pursuant to Section 6(a)(2), then, in addition to the fees and expenses of such counsel for the indemnified parties, the indemnifying party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of not more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from its own counsel and that of the other indemnified parties for the Independent Underwriter in its capacity as a "qualified independent underwriter" and all persons, if any, who control the Independent Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of 1934 Act in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances if, in the reasonable judgment of the Independent Underwriter, based upon advice of its counsel, there may exist a conflict of interest between the Independent Underwriter and the other indemnified parties. Any such separate counsel for the Independent Underwriter and such control persons of the Independent Underwriter shall be designated in writing by the Independent Underwriter. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 6 or Section 7 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. (d) Settlement without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 6(a)(1)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered 18 into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. SECTION 7. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations or (iii) the Independent Underwriter in its capacity as "qualified independent underwriter" (within the meaning of NASD Conduct Rule 2720) be responsible for any amount in excess of the compensation received by the Independent Underwriter for acting in such capacity. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discount received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Securities as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus. Benefits received by the Independent Underwriter in its capacity as "qualified independent underwriter" shall be deemed to be equal to the compensation received by the Independent Underwriter for acting in such capacity. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that Citigroup will not receive any additional benefits hereunder for serving as the Independent Underwriter in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 7. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 19 Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 7, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and each Underwriter's Affiliates and selling agents shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. The Underwriters' respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to the number of Initial Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule A hereto and not joint. SECTION 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or its Affiliates or selling agents, any person controlling any Underwriter, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (ii) delivery of and payment for the Securities. SECTION 9. Termination of Agreement. (a) Termination; General. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company, at any time at or prior to Closing Time (i) if there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Underwriters, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the American Stock Exchange, or if trading generally on the American Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange or in the Nasdaq National Market has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, the NASD or any other governmental authority, or (iv) a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States, or (v) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities. (b) Liabilities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party, provided further that Sections 1, 6, 7, 8 and 14 shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect. If this Agreement is terminated by the Underwriters in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 or Section 9(a)(i) or (iii) (with respect to the 20 first clause only) hereof, the Company shall reimburse the Underwriters for all of their out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters. SECTION 10. Default by One or More of the Underwriters. If one or more of the Underwriters shall fail at Closing Time or a Date of Delivery to purchase the Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the "Defaulted Securities"), the Underwriters shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Underwriters shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then: (i) if the number of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the number of Securities to be purchased on such date, each of the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters, or (ii) if the number of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the number of Securities to be purchased on such date, this Agreement or, with respect to any Date of Delivery which occurs after the Closing Time, the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase and of the Company to sell the Option Securities to be purchased and sold on such Date of Delivery shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter. No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of its default. In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement or, in the case of a Date of Delivery which is after the Closing Time, which does not result in a termination of the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase and the Company to sell the relevant Option Securities, as the case may be, either the Underwriters or the Company shall have the right to postpone Closing Time or the relevant Date of Delivery, as the case may be, for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements. As used herein, the term "Underwriter" includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section 10. SECTION 11. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Underwriters shall be directed to the Underwriters at c/o Merrill Lynch & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, 4 World Financial Center, New York, New York 10080, attention of Jack J. Vissicchio; and notices to the Company shall be directed to it at 3445 Peachtree Road, N.E., Suite 700, Atlanta, Georgia 30326, attention of W. Thomas Parrington, President and Chief Executive Officer. SECTION 12. Parties. This Agreement shall each inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Underwriters and the Company and their respective successors. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation, other than the Underwriters and the Company and their respective successors and the controlling persons and officers and directors referred to in Sections 6 and 7 and their heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. This Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof are intended to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Underwriters and the Company and their respective successors, and said controlling persons 21 and officers and directors and their heirs and legal representatives, and for the benefit of no other person, firm or corporation. No purchaser of Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase. SECTION 13. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. SECTION 14. TIME. TIME SHALL BE OF THE ESSENCE OF THIS AGREEMENT. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH HEREIN, SPECIFIED TIMES OF DAY REFER TO NEW YORK CITY TIME. SECTION 15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement. SECTION 16. Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 22 If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement, please sign and return to the Company a counterpart hereof, whereupon this instrument, along with all counterparts, will become a binding agreement between the Underwriters and the Company in accordance with its terms.

Worcester Hospitality Associates, LP Sch F-4 Exhibit A FORM OF OPINION OF COMPANY'S COUNSEL TO BE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 5(b) (i) The Company has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. (ii) The Company has corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Prospectus and to enter into and perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement. (iii) The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and is in good standing in the State of Georgia and in each other jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure so to qualify or to be in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Effect. (iv) The authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company is as set forth in the Prospectus in the column entitled "Actual" under the caption "Capitalization" (except for subsequent issuances, if any, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or pursuant to reservations, agreements or employee benefit plans referred to in the Prospectus or pursuant to the exercise of convertible securities, warrants or options referred to in the Prospectus); the shares of issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable; and none of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company was issued in violation of the preemptive or other similar rights of any securityholder of the Company. (v) The Securities have been duly authorized for issuance and sale to the Underwriters pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and, when issued and delivered by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement against payment of the consideration set forth in the Purchase Agreement, will be validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable and no holder of the Securities is or will be subject to personal liability by reason of being such a holder. (vi) The issuance of the Securities is not subject to preemptive or other similar rights of any securityholder of the Company. (vii) Each Subsidiary has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, in good standing under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization, has corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Prospectus and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure so to qualify or to be in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Effect; except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each Subsidiary has been duly authorized and validly issued, is fully A-1 paid and non-assessable and, to the best of our knowledge, is owned by the Company, directly or through subsidiaries, free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance, claim or equity, except such security interests, mortgages, pledges, liens or encumbrances as are imposed in accordance with the terms of the refinancing debt; none of the outstanding shares of capital stock of any Subsidiary was issued in violation of the preemptive or similar rights of any securityholder of such Subsidiary. (viii) The Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company. (ix) The Registration Statement, including any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, has been declared effective under the 1933 Act; any required filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) has been made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b); and, to the best of our knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement has been issued under the 1933 Act and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or threatened by the Commission. (x) The Registration Statement, including any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement and the Rule 430A Information, the Prospectus and each amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement and Prospectus as of their respective effective or issue dates (other than the financial statements and supporting schedules included therein or omitted therefrom, as to which we need express no opinion) complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations. (xi) The form of certificate used to evidence the Common Stock complies in all material respects with all applicable statutory requirements, with any applicable requirements of the charter and by-laws of the Company and the requirements of the American Stock Exchange. (xii) To the best of our knowledge, there is not pending or threatened any action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, to which the Company or any subsidiary is a party, or to which the property of the Company or any subsidiary is subject, before or brought by any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the properties or assets thereof or the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement or the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder. (xiii) The information in the Prospectus under "Description of Capital Stock", "Shares Eligible for Future Sale -- Rule 144" and in the Registration Statement under Item 14, to the extent that it constitutes matters of law, summaries of legal matters, the Company's charter and bylaws or legal proceedings, or legal conclusions, has been reviewed by us and is correct in all material respects. (xiv) All descriptions in the Registration Statement of contracts and other documents to which the Company or its subsidiaries are a party are accurate in all material respects; to the best of our knowledge, there are no franchises, contracts, indentures, mortgages, loan agreements, notes, leases or other instruments required to be described or referred to in the Registration Statement or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement other than those described or referred to therein or filed as exhibits thereto. To our knowledge, (i) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation of its charter, by-laws or operating agreement, as applicable and (ii) no default by the Company or any Subsidiary exists in the due performance or observance of any A-2 material obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any agreement filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, except for such defaults that would not result in a Material Adverse Effect. (xv) No filing with, or authorization, approval, consent, license, order, registration, qualification or decree of, any court or governmental authority or agency, domestic or foreign (other than under the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations, which have been obtained, or as may be required under the securities or blue sky laws of the various states, as to which we need express no opinion) is necessary or required in connection with the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement or for the offering, issuance, sale or delivery of the Securities. (xvi) The execution, delivery and performance of the Purchase Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement and in the Registration Statement (including the issuance and sale of the Securities and the use of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities as described in the Prospectus under the caption "Use Of Proceeds") and compliance by the Company with its obligations under the Purchase Agreement do not and will not, whether with or without the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default or Repayment Event (as defined in Section 1(a)(xiv) of the Purchase Agreement) under or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any subsidiary pursuant to any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement, franchise agreement, management agreement, note, lease or any other agreement or instrument, known to us, to which the Company or any subsidiary is a party or by which it or any of them may be bound, or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any subsidiary is subject (except for such conflicts, breaches, defaults or Repayment Events or liens, charges or encumbrances that would not have a Material Adverse Effect), nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or by-laws of the Company or any subsidiary, or any applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree, known to us, of any government, government instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any subsidiary or any of their respective properties, assets or operations. (xvii) To the best of our knowledge, there are no persons with registration rights or other similar rights to have any securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise registered by the Company under the 1933 Act, except as disclosed in the Prospectus under "Risks Related to this Offering and Our Common Stock" and "Shares Eligible for Future Sale -- Registration Rights." (xviii) The Company is not required, and upon the issuance and sale of the Securities as herein contemplated and the application of the net proceeds therefrom as described in the Prospectus will not be required, to register as an "investment company" under the 1940 Act. Nothing has come to our attention that would lead us to believe that the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, including the Rule 430A Information, (except for financial statements and schedules and other financial data included therein or omitted therefrom, as to which we need make no statement), at the time such Registration Statement or any such amendment became effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or that the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (except for financial statements and schedules and other financial data included therein or omitted therefrom, as to which we need make no statement), at the time the Prospectus was issued, at the time any such A-3 amended or supplemented prospectus was issued or at the Closing Time, included or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely as to matters of fact (but not as to legal conclusions), to the extent they deem proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company and public officials. Such opinion shall not state that it is to be governed or qualified by, or that it is otherwise subject to, any treatise, written policy or other document relating to legal opinions, including, without limitation, the Legal Opinion Accord of the ABA Section of Business Law (1991).

(B) NOTE. On the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Lender Note A and Note B. (C) USE OF PROCEEDS. The proceeds of the Loan funded at Closing shall be used to (i) refinance existing indebtedness; (ii) pay all recording fees and taxes, title insurance premiums, the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including reasonable legal fees and expenses of counsel to Lender, and other costs and expenses approved by Lender (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld) related to the Loan; (iii) establish the Reserves required hereunder; and (iv) provide for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, payment of transaction costs and expenses incurred by the Borrowers. The remaining proceeds of the Loan, if any, shall be disbursed to or as otherwise directed by the Borrowers. 25 (D) MODIFICATION OF COMPONENTS. Lender shall have the right, at Lender's sole cost (other than each Borrower's internal costs and expenses and the costs and expenses of the Borrowers' counsel), any time prior to a Securitization, to modify the Loan in order to create additional components, reduce the number of Components, reallocate the principal balances of the Components, change the Interest Rates of the Components or eliminate the component structure of the Loan provided that as of the effective date of such modification (i) the total principal balance of the Loan equals the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to such modification, (ii) the aggregate monthly interest payment does not exceed the aggregate monthly amount of the interest payment required prior to such modification and (iii) the aggregate monthly principal amortization does not exceed the aggregate monthly principal amortization required prior to such modification. Lender shall have the right to modify the Components in accordance with this Section 2.1.(D) upon notice to Borrower (in which event such modification shall then be deemed effective). If requested by Lender, Borrower shall promptly execute an amendment to this Agreement and the Note to evidence such modification. SECTION 2.2 INTEREST. (A) RATE OF INTEREST. The outstanding principal balance of each Component shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate in effect for such Component. (B) DEFAULT RATE. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and in any event from and after the Maturity Date of the Loan and until the Loan and all other Obligations are satisfied in full, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and all other Obligations shall bear interest until paid in full at a rate per annum that is four percent (4%) in excess of the Interest Rate otherwise applicable under this Loan Agreement and the Note (the "DEFAULT RATE"). (C) COMPUTATION OF INTEREST. Interest on the Loan and all other Obligations owing to Lender shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year, and shall be charged for the actual number of days elapsed during any month or other accrual period. Interest shall be payable in arrears (except with respect to the number of days from the Payment Date in any Interest Accrual Period to the last day of such Interest Accrual Period, as to which interest shall be payable in advance, if any). (D) INTEREST LAWS. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Borrowers 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 ("EXCESS INTEREST"). If any Excess Interest is provided for or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been provided for in this Loan Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, then in such event: (1) the provisions of this subsection shall govern and control; (2) the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any Excess Interest; (3) any Excess Interest that Lender may have received hereunder shall be, at Lender's option, (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(s) 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 Loan 26 Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction; and (5) the Borrowers shall not have any action against Lender for any damages arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest. 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 this Loan Agreement, 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 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 Interest Rate, then the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall apply. (E) LATE CHARGES. If an Event of Default regarding non-payment of principal, interest or other sums due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall occur, then the Borrowers shall pay to Lender, in addition to all sums otherwise due and payable, a late fee in an amount equal to five percent (5.0%) of such principal, interest or other sums due hereunder or under any other Loan Document, such late charge to be immediately due and payable without demand by Lender. SECTION 2.3 INTEREST RATE CAP AGREEMENT. (A) As a condition to Closing, the Borrowers shall purchase and pledge and deliver to Lender an interest rate cap agreement satisfying the criteria set forth below (the "CAP"), and the Borrowers shall maintain such Cap in the possession of Lender, in full force and effect, until all Obligations are fully and finally repaid. The Cap (i) shall have a notional amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan calculated based upon the declining principal balance of the Loan scheduled to be outstanding over the term of such Cap taking into account scheduled principal amortization hereunder, (ii) shall provide that to the extent that the LIBO Rate exceeds five percent (5%) per annum (the "CAP THRESHOLD RATE"), then the Cap Provider shall pay to Lender, on behalf of the Borrowers, not less than the amount of interest that would accrue on the Loan at a per annum rate equal to the difference between the LIBO Rate and the Cap Threshold Rate, (iii) shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, (iv) shall have a term equal to the Initial Term of the Loan (or the applicable Extension Term), and (v) shall be issued by a financial institution (the "CAP PROVIDER") having a financial rating by S&P of at least "AA-" (and at least an equivalent rating from each of the other Rating Agencies). (B) If at any time the financial rating assigned to any Cap Provider by S&P shall fall below AA- (or the equivalent rating for any other Rating Agency), the Borrowers shall be required to deliver a replacement Cap in substantially the form of the Cap delivered at Closing issued by a Cap Provider meeting the rating requirements for a Cap Provider under Section 2.3(A)(v), providing for a cap "strike price" not greater than the Cap Threshold Rate (a replacement Cap meeting all of the foregoing conditions, an "ACCEPTABLE REPLACEMENT CAP") within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of notice from Lender or Servicer of such downgrade of the Cap Provider, together with an assignment of such Cap substantially in the form of the Assignment of Rate Cap and such Financing Statements and opinions of in-house or 27 outside counsel to the Cap Provider as Lender may reasonably require each in form and substance acceptable to Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, under no circumstances shall the Cap be terminated by the Borrowers prior to delivery of an Acceptable Replacement Cap, together with the required documentation with respect thereto, to Lender. If, for any reason, the Borrowers are unable to deliver a replacement Cap when required hereunder, then at or prior to the time when the replacement Cap is due hereunder, the Borrowers shall deliver to Lender cash security (such cash security together with any interest thereon, the "CAP RESERVE") in an amount sufficient to cover the amount of additional interest which Lender reasonably estimates may be incurred during the remaining term of the Loan (or remaining Extension Term then in effect) as a result of the LIBO Rate exceeding the Cap Threshold Rate, which Cap Reserve shall be held by Lender and applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 6.1. Upon delivery of an Acceptable Replacement Cap reasonably acceptable to Lender, the remaining balance of the Cap Reserve shall be promptly returned to the Borrowers. (C) All payments made by the Cap Provider under the Cap shall be deposited directly by the Cap Provider into the Lock Box Account and applied in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement. SECTION 2.4 PAYMENTS. (A) PAYMENTS OF INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL. The Borrowers shall make payments of interest and principal on the Note as follows: (i) The Borrowers shall make a payment to Lender of interest only on the Closing Date for the first Interest Accrual Period; and (ii) On each Payment Date commencing with the Payment Date in July 2004 and on each Payment Date thereafter through but not including the Maturity Date, the Borrowers shall make a payment of interest on the Loan for the Interest Accrual Period corresponding to such Payment Date, and in addition shall make a payment of principal on the Loan in an amount equal to the Scheduled Mortgage Principal Payment for such Payment Date. (B) DATE AND TIME OF PAYMENT. The Borrowers 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 2:00 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 2:00 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; APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. The Borrowers promise 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 Loan Agreement. All payments by the Borrowers on the Loan shall be made without deduction, defense, set off or counterclaim and in immediately available funds delivered to Lender by wire transfer to such accounts at such banks as Lender may from time to time designate. Prior to an Event of Default, each payment and prepayment hereunder shall be applied first to pay late charges and the charges and expenses of Lender, Servicer and any special 28 servicer as provided hereunder, second to accrued and unpaid interest, and the balance to principal. Prior to an Event of Default, to the extent sufficient funds are contained in the Lock Box Account, or an Account or Sub-Account thereof, to make the required monthly payments to the applicable Reserves and Sub-Account on such Payment Date, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have satisfied their obligations to make such payments. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, all principal payments on the Loan shall be applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Components pro rata. Any amounts received by Lender during the continuance of an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of interest and/or principal on any of the Components and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine. SECTION 2.5 MATURITY. (A) SCHEDULED MATURITY DATE. To the extent not sooner due and payable in accordance with the Loan Documents (and unless the Borrowers shall extend the term of the Loan for the First Extension Term, the Second Extension Term, or the Third Extension Term upon the terms and subject to the conditions of Section 2.5(B) below), the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (and including interest through the end of the Interest Accrual Period then in effect), and all other sums then owing to Lender hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, shall be due and payable on (i) the Scheduled Maturity Date or (ii) if the Borrowers shall have extended the term of the Loan for the First Extension Term, the Second Extension Term, or the Third Extension Term, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of Section 2.5(B) below, the applicable Maturity Date. (B) EXTENSION TERMS. The Borrowers may extend the term of the Loan for three extension terms of one year each (each, an "EXTENSION TERM", and, collectively the "EXTENSION TERMS"); (i) the first Extension Term (the "FIRST EXTENSION TERM") commencing on the day immediately following the Scheduled Maturity Date and ending (unless sooner terminated in accordance with the Loan Documents) on the first (1st) anniversary of the Scheduled Maturity Date, (ii) the second Extension Term (the "SECOND EXTENSION TERM") commencing on the day immediately following the last day of the First Extension Term and ending (unless sooner terminated in accordance with the Loan Documents) on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Scheduled Maturity Date and (iii) the third Extension Term (the "THIRD EXTENSION TERM") commencing on the day immediately following the last day of the Second Extension Term and ending (unless sooner terminated in accordance with the Loan Documents) on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Scheduled Maturity Date; subject to the following terms and conditions, provided that subsections (iii) and (iv) shall not be conditions to the exercise of the First Extension Term: (i) The Borrowers shall give Lender notice (an "EXTENSION NOTICE") of their request to extend the term of the Loan for the First Extension Term at any time not later than forty-five (45) days but not more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date, the expiration of the First Extension Term, or expiration of the Second Extension Term, as the case may be; 29 (ii) No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the date the Borrowers deliver the applicable Extension Notice or as of the first (1st) day of the applicable Extension Term; (iii) The Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the trailing twelve (12) month period ended (x) on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter prior to the expiration of the First Extension Term is at least 1.30:1.0, with respect to the Second Extension Term, and (y) on the last day immediately prior to the expiration of the Second Extension Term, is at least 1.35:1.0, with respect to the Third Extension Term, and the Debt Yield for the twelve (12) month period ended on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter prior to the expiration of the First Extension Term, or expiration of the Second Extension Term, as the case may be, is not less than 13%; provided however, if the Debt Service Coverage Ratio and/or the Debt Yield fail to satisfy such requirements, the Borrowers shall be entitled to make a principal prepayment of a portion of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance (to be applied in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement) on the then current Maturity Date in an amount, as reasonably determined by Lender, sufficient to cause the Debt Service Coverage Ratio and/or the Debt Yield, as applicable, to satisfy such requirements based upon a recalculation thereof assuming that the prepayment amount were applied to reduce the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance (on a pro-rata basis between the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan) as of the last day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter (and provided that the Prepayment Consideration shall be payable in connection with such prepayment); (iv) Prior to the date the applicable Extension Term commences, the Borrowers shall deliver to Lender an extension fee equal to one quarter of one percent (.25%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan as of the date the applicable Extension Term commences for each of the Second Extension Term and the Third Extension Term; (v) The Borrowers shall execute all such documents and other agreements as Lender shall reasonably request; and (vi) The Borrowers shall deliver to Lender an extension of the Cap or a replacement Cap in form substantially the same as the Cap delivered at Closing covering the term of the applicable Extension Term, providing for a cap "strike price" (such "strike price", the "EXTENSION CAP THRESHOLD RATE") not greater than five percent (5%) per annum and otherwise satisfying the requirements of Section 2.3 together with an assignment of such replacement Cap substantially in the form of the Assignment of Rate Cap and such Financing Statements and opinions of in-house or outside counsel to the Cap Provider as Lender may reasonably require each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender.

SECTION 2.6 PREPAYMENT. (A) LIMITATION ON PREPAYMENT; PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATION DUE ON ACCELERATION. The Borrowers may prepay the Loan in whole, or, to the extent expressly provided herein, in part (in amounts of at least $1,000,000), at any time, provided that (i) the Borrowers shall provide to Lender not less than fifteen (15) days prior written notice of such prepayment, (ii) together with such prepayment the Borrowers also shall pay all accrued and unpaid interest and all other Obligations then due and owing, (iii) if such prepayment occurs on any day other than a Payment Date, then together therewith the Borrowers also shall pay to Lender the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount being prepaid from and including the date of such prepayment to the end of such Interest Accrual Period, and (iv) the Borrowers shall pay the applicable Prepayment Consideration. (B) PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATION DUE. If any prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan shall occur on account of acceleration of the Loan (whether or not due to an Event of Default), or otherwise, then except only as expressly provided in this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the Borrowers shall pay the Prepayment Consideration on the amount prepaid to Lender together with such prepayment, as liquidated damages and compensation for costs incurred, and in addition to all other amounts due and owing to Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Prepayment Consideration will be due as to a prepayment of the Loan in connection with (i) application of insurance or condemnation proceeds required by Lender pursuant to this Loan Agreement or the Mortgages in the absence of an Event of Default, (ii) Scheduled Mortgage Principal Payments, (iii) in connection with prepayments made in connection with any Release of a Sales Property (it being agreed that the Prepayment Consideration will be due with respect to all other Releases (other than Releases effectuated pursuant to Section 5.5(E)), or (iv) upon prepayment of the Loan in full or in part during any Extension Term (provided the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount being prepaid from and including the date of such prepayment through the end of the current Interest Accrual Period shall be payable with such prepayment). The foregoing designation of any amount of Prepayment Consideration in this Agreement shall not create a right to prepay at any time or in any circumstances where this Agreement does not expressly state that such a right exists. SECTION 2.7 OUTSTANDING BALANCE. The balance on Lender's books and records shall be presumptive evidence (absent manifest error) of the amounts owing to Lender by the Borrowers; provided that any failure to record any transaction affecting such balance or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect the Borrowers' obligation to pay the Obligations. SECTION 2.8 TAXES. Any and all payments or reimbursements made hereunder or under the Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all taxes, withholding taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto 31 arising out of or in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (all such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and all liabilities with respect thereto (excluding taxes imposed on net income in accordance with the following sentence) herein "TAX LIABILITIES"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall not be liable for taxes imposed on the net income of Lender by the jurisdiction under the laws of which Lender is organized or doing business or any political subdivision thereof and taxes imposed on its net income by the jurisdiction of Lender's applicable lending office or any political subdivision thereof. If the Borrowers shall be required by law to deduct any such Tax Liabilities (or amounts in estimation or reimbursement for the same) from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, then the sum payable hereunder shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions, Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made. SECTION 2.9 REASONABLENESS OF CHARGES. The Borrower Parties agree 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 Prepayment Consideration are reasonable, taking into consideration the circumstances known to the parties at this time, and (iii) such Default Rate and late charges and Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with enforcement of Lender's rights under the Loan Documents shall be due and payable as provided herein, and (iv) such interest at the Default Rate, late charges, Prepayment Consideration, and the obligation to pay Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees and other enforcement costs do not, individually or collectively, constitute a penalty. SECTION 2.10 FUNDING LOSSES/CHANGE IN LAW ETC. (A) The Borrowers hereby agree to pay to Lender any amount necessary to compensate Lender and any Funding Party for any losses or costs (including, without limitation, the costs of breaking any "LIBOR" contract, if applicable, or funding losses determined on the basis of Lender's or such Funding Party's reinvestment rate and the interest rate on the Loan) (collectively, "FUNDING LOSSES") sustained by Lender or any Funding Party: (i) if the Note, or any portion thereof, is repaid for any reason whatsoever on any date other than a Payment Date (including, without limitation, from condemnation or insurance proceeds); or (ii) as a consequence of (x) any increased cost of funds that Lender or any Funding Party may sustain in maintaining the borrowing evidenced hereby or (y) the reduction of any amounts received or receivable from the Borrowers, in either case, due to the introduction of, or any change in, law or applicable regulation or treaty adopted after the date hereof (including the administration or interpretation thereof), whether or not having the force of law, or due to the compliance by Lender or the Funding Party, as the case may be, with any directive, whether or not having the force of law, or request from any central bank or domestic or foreign governmental authority, agency or instrumentality having jurisdiction made as of the date hereof, to the extent Lender reasonably determines that such Funding Losses are allocable to the Loan. (B) If Lender or any Funding Party shall have determined that the applicability of any law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted pursuant to or arising out of the July 1988 report of the 32 Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled "International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards", or the adoption of any other law, rule, regulation or guideline (including but not limited to any United States law, rule, regulation or guideline) regarding capital adequacy, or any change becoming effective in any of the foregoing or in the enforcement or interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any court or any domestic or foreign governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the enforcement or interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender or its holding company or a Funding Party or its holding company, as the case may be, with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency made after the date hereof, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of Lender or its holding company, or of the Funding Party's or its holding company, as the case may be, then, upon demand by Lender, the Borrowers shall pay to Lender, from time to time, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or such Funding Party for any such reduction suffered. (C) Any amount payable by the Borrowers under Section 2.10(A) or 2.10(B) shall be paid to Lender within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt by the Borrowers of a certificate signed by an officer of Lender setting forth the amount due and the basis for the determination of such amount in reasonable detail and the computations made by Lender to determine the amount due, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers, absent manifest error. Failure on the part of Lender to demand payment from the Borrowers for any such amount attributable to any particular period shall not constitute a waiver of Lender's right to demand payment of such amount for any subsequent or prior period. Lender shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to the Borrowers prompt notice of any event described in Sections 2.10(A) or 2.10(B) above and of the amount to be paid as a result thereof, provided, however, any failure by Lender to so notify the Borrowers shall not affect the Borrowers' obligation to make the payments to be made under this Section as a result thereof. All amounts which may become due and payable by the Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of this Section shall constitute additional interest under the Loan and shall be secured by the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents. (D) If Lender or any Funding Party requests compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of clause (ii) of Sections 2.10(A) or 2.10(B), then, upon request of the Borrowers, Lender or such Funding Party shall use reasonable efforts in a manner consistent with such institution's practice in connection with loans like the Loan to eliminate, mitigate or reduce amounts that would otherwise be payable by the Borrowers under the foregoing provisions, provided that such action would not be otherwise prejudicial to Lender or such Funding Party, including, without limitation, by designating another of Lender's or such Funding Party's offices, branches or affiliates; the Borrowers hereby agreeing to pay all reasonably incurred costs and expenses incurred by Lender or any Funding Party in connection with any such action. SECTION 2.11 SERVICING/SPECIAL SERVICING. Lender may change the Servicer from time to time without the consent of the Borrowers, on prior written notice to the Borrowers. The Borrowers expressly acknowledge and agree that the Servicer's fees (the "SERVICING FEE"), which shall in no event exceed five one-hundredths of one percent (.05%) per annum on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, payable in monthly installments, and if the Loan becomes a specially serviced loan, any fees of the special servicer, shall be payable by the Borrowers and 33 shall constitute a portion of the Obligations; provided, however, that at no time shall the Borrowers be liable for Servicing Fees or special servicing fees in excess of those fees charged to Lender by the Servicer or any special servicer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a carrier which does not meet the foregoing ratings requirement shall nevertheless be deemed acceptable hereunder provided that such carrier is reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Borrowers shall obtain and deliver to Lender a Rating Confirmation with respect to such carrier from each of the Rating Agencies, provided, however, that: (a) if any insurance coverage required under this Section 5.4 is maintained by a syndicate of insurers, the preceding ratings requirements shall be deemed satisfied (without any required Rating Confirmation) as long as at least seventy five percent (75%) of the coverage (if there are four or fewer members of the syndicate) or at least sixty percent (60%) of the coverage (if there are five or more members of the syndicate) is maintained with carriers meeting the claims-paying ability ratings requirements by S&P and Moody's (if applicable) set forth above and all carriers in such syndicate have a claims-paying ability rating by S&P of not less than "BBB" and by Moody's of not less than "Baa2" (to the extent rated by Moody's); (b) Lender hereby approves Zurich Insurance Company as the carrier providing the insurance described in clause (ii) above, so long as such carrier maintains a claims paying ability of not less than A- by S&P (and the equivalent from each of the other Rating Agencies to the extent rated thereby) and (c) until the expiration of the current term of the applicable policies, Lender hereby approves Landmark American as the carrier providing the insurance described in clauses (i), (iv) and (vi) above (covering losses over the first $25,000,000 of coverage), so long as thereafter such carrier or any other carrier providing the above coverages maintains a claims paying ability of not less than A by S&P (and the equivalent from each of the other Rating Agencies to the extent rated thereby). All Insurance Policies under 56 Sections 5.4 (i), (iv), (vi), (vii), (x), (xi) and (xii) hereof shall contain a Non-Contributory Standard mortgagee clause and a mortgagee's Loss Payable Endorsement (Form 438 BFU NS), or their equivalents (such endorsements shall entitle Lender to collect any and all proceeds payable under all such insurance, with the insurance company waiving any claim or defense against Lender for premium payment, deductible, self-insured retention or claims reporting provisions). All Insurance Policies shall provide that the coverage shall not be modified without (30) days' advance written notice to Lender and shall provide that no claims shall be paid thereunder to a Person other than Lender without ten (10) days' advance written notice to Lender. The Borrowers may obtain any insurance required by this Section through blanket policies; provided, however, that such blanket policies shall separately set forth the amount of insurance in force with respect to the Properties (which shall not be reduced by reason of events occurring on property other than the Properties) and shall afford all the protections to Lender as are required under this Section. Except as may be expressly provided above, all policies of insurance required hereunder shall contain no annual aggregate limit of liability, other than with respect to liability insurance. If a blanket policy is issued, a certified copy of said policy shall be furnished, together with a certificate indicating that Lender is an additional insured (and, if applicable, loss payee) under such policy in the designated amount. The Borrowers will deliver duplicate originals of all Insurance Policies, premium prepaid through the current expiration dates of such Insurance Policies, to Lender and, in case of Insurance Policies about to expire, the Borrowers will deliver duplicate originals of replacement policies satisfying the requirements hereof to Lender not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of expiration; provided, however, if such replacement policy is not yet available, the Borrowers shall provide Lender with an insurance certificate executed by the insurer or its authorized agent evidencing that the insurance required hereunder is being maintained under such policy, which certificate shall be acceptable to Lender on an interim basis until the duplicate original of the policy is available. The Borrowers shall furnish Lender receipts for the payment of premiums on such insurance policies or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender in the event that such premiums have not been paid by Lender pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The requirements of this Section 5.4 shall apply to any separate policies of insurance taken out by the Borrowers concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with the Insurance Policies. Losses shall be payable to Lender notwithstanding (1) any act, failure to act or negligence of the Borrowers or their agents or employees, Lender or any other insured party which might, absent such agreement, result in a forfeiture or all or part of such insurance payment, other than the willful misconduct of Lender knowingly in violation of the conditions of such policy, (2) the occupation or use of the Properties or any part thereof for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms of such policy, (3) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken pursuant to this Loan Agreement or (4) any change in title to or ownership of the Properties or any part thereof. The property insurance and the boiler and machinery insurance described in Sections 5.4(i) and (x) hereof shall include "underground hazards" coverage; "time element" coverage by which Lender shall be assured payment of all amounts due under the Note, this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents; "extra expense" (i.e., soft costs), clean-up, transit and ordinary payroll coverage; and "expediting expense" coverage to facilitate rapid repair or restoration of the Properties. The Insurance Policies shall not contain any deductible in excess of $250,000. 57 SECTION 5.5 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPERTIES; CASUALTY. (A) The Borrowers will operate and maintain the Properties as is necessary to maintain hotel standards at least as high as those that currently apply to each Property, subject to ordinary wear and tear, as reasonably determined by the Borrowers, and otherwise in compliance with the standards under the applicable Franchise Agreement and shall maintain or cause to be maintained in good repair, working order and condition all material property used in the business of each Borrower, including the applicable Property, and will make or cause to be made all appropriate repairs, renewals and replacements thereof. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Borrower will operate and maintain its Property substantially in accordance with the applicable Operating Budget and the CapEx/FF&E Budget. All work required or permitted under this Loan Agreement shall be performed in a workmanlike manner and in compliance with all applicable laws. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers may, without Lender's consent, perform alterations to the Properties which do not constitute a Material Alteration. The Borrowers shall not perform any Material Alteration without Lender's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, withhold consent to any Material Alteration which is likely to result in a decrease of Net Operating Income (taking into consideration all Material Alterations being undertaken at the Properties at such time) by 5% or more below that which was in effect prior to the commencement of the first such Material Alteration being undertaken at the time of determination for a period of sixty (60) days or longer; provided, further, however, the Borrowers may perform a Material Alteration without Lender's consent if (i) the delay caused by obtaining Lender's prior consent may result in injury or death at, or further destruction or deterioration of, the applicable Property, (ii) such Material Alteration is necessary to prevent the likelihood of injury or death at, or further destruction or deterioration of, the applicable Property, and (iii) the Borrowers deliver notice to Lender within two (2) Business Days of commencement of such Material Alteration together with such supporting documentation as Lender may require with respect to such Material Alteration. Lender may, as a condition to giving its consent to a Material Alteration, require that the Borrowers deliver to Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the Borrowers have cash available for payment of the cost of such Material Alteration or, if the Borrowers fail to deliver such evidence, cash, Dollar Equivalents or a Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to 125% of the cost of such Material Alteration as reasonably estimated by Lender. Cash deposited by the Borrowers with Lender in connection with any Material Alteration pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be held by Lender in a Sub-Account of the Lock Box Account and disbursed to the Borrowers to pay for the cost of such Material Alteration as such work progresses subject to satisfaction of the conditions for disbursement of amounts from the Capital Improvement Reserve under Section 6.5 (including the requirements set forth under Section 6.7). Upon completion of the Material Alteration, the Borrowers shall provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (i) the Material Alteration was constructed in accordance with all material applicable laws and substantially in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Lender (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) all contractors, subcontractors, materialmen and professionals who provided work, materials or services in connection with the Material Alteration have been paid in full and have delivered unconditional releases of lien and (iii) all material licenses necessary for the use, operation and occupancy of the Material Alteration (other 58 than those which depend on the performance of tenant improvement work) have been issued. The Borrowers shall reimburse Lender upon demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees of any architect, engineer or other professional engaged by Lender) incurred by Lender in reviewing plans and specifications or in making any determinations necessary to implement the provisions of this Section 5.5(A). (B) In the event of casualty or loss at any of the Properties, the Borrowers shall give immediate 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 the Property as nearly as possible to the Pre-Existing Condition (a "RESTORATION"). The Borrowers hereby authorize and empower Lender as attorney-in-fact for the Borrowers (jointly with the Borrowers unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), or any of them, to make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise any claim under insurance policies, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from such insurance policies, to collect and receive insurance proceeds, and to deduct therefrom Lender's expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds; provided however, that nothing contained in this Section shall require Lender to incur any expense or take any action hereunder. The Borrowers further authorize Lender, at Lender's option, (i) to hold the balance of such proceeds to be used to reimburse the Borrowers for the cost of Restoration of any of the Properties or (ii) subject to Subsection 5.5(C), to apply such proceeds to payment of the Obligations whether or not then due, in any order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a casualty where the loss does not exceed the Restoration Threshold, the Borrowers may settle and adjust such claim; provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (b) such adjustment is carried out in a commercially reasonable and timely manner. (C) Lender shall not exercise Lender's option to apply insurance proceeds to payment of the Obligations if all of the following conditions are met: (i) no Event of Default then exists; (ii) Lender reasonably determines that there will be sufficient funds to complete the Restoration of the Property to at least substantially the Pre-Existing Condition and to timely make all payments due under the Loan Documents during the Restoration of the affected Property; (iii) Lender reasonably determines that the Net Operating Income of the Properties (including rental income or business interruption insurance) will be sufficient to pay principal and interest on the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan and Operating Revenues of the Properties, after the Restoration thereof to the Pre-Existing Condition, will be sufficient to meet all Operating Expenses, payments for Reserves and payments of principal and interest under the Note and the Mezzanine Loan; (iv) Lender determines that the Restoration of the affected Property to the Pre-Existing Condition will be completed not later than five (5) months prior to the expiration of any business interruption insurance, but in no event later than six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date; (v) less than fifty percent (50%) of the total floor area of the Improvements has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such fire or other casualty; and (vi) such Property can be restored and repaired substantially to the condition it was in immediately prior to such casualty and in compliance with all applicable zoning, building and other laws and codes (the "PRE-EXISTING CONDITION"). If Lender elects to apply insurance proceeds to payment of the Obligations, such application shall be made on the Payment Date immediately following such election in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement. 59 (D) If Lender elects or is obligated to make the insurance proceeds available for the Restoration of any Property and Lender is holding such proceeds, the Borrowers agree that, if at any time during the Restoration, the cost of completing such Restoration, as reasonably determined by Lender, exceeds the undisbursed insurance proceeds, the Borrowers shall, within ten (10) Business Days following the written demand by Lender, deposit the amount of such excess with Lender, and Lender shall first disburse such deposit to pay for the costs of such Restoration on the same terms and conditions as the insurance proceeds are disbursed. If the Borrowers deposit such excess with Lender and if, after completion of the Restoration, any funds remain from the combination of insurance proceeds and the funds so deposited with Lender by the Borrowers, and if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Lender shall promptly disburse to the Borrowers such remaining funds. (E) Lender may, at Lender's option, condition disbursement of any insurance proceeds on Lender's approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) of plans and specifications of an independent architect licensed in the state where the Property is located and reasonably satisfactory to Lender (the "ARCHITECT"), any and all contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration and the contracts under which they have been engaged, contractor's cost estimates, architect's certificates, waivers of liens, sworn statements of mechanics and materialmen and such other evidence of costs, percentage completion of construction, application of payments, and satisfaction of liens as Lender may reasonably require. Lender shall not be obligated to disburse insurance proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month. If insurance proceeds are applied to the payment of the Obligations and provided no Event of Default exists, any such application of proceeds to principal shall be without any Prepayment Consideration and 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. If Lender elects to apply all of such insurance proceeds toward the repayment of the Obligations, the Borrowers shall (subject to compliance with clauses (A), (B), (D) and (F) of Section 11.4) be entitled to obtain from Lender a Property Release (without representation or warranty) of the applicable Property from the Lien of the Mortgage relating to such Property (in which event the Borrowers shall not be obligated to restore the applicable Property pursuant to Section 5.5(B) above) provided that the Borrowers pay to Lender the amount, if any, by which the Release Price for such Property exceeds the insurance proceeds received by Lender and applied to repayment of the Obligations. If any proceeds are applied to reduce the Obligations under this Section 5.5, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Prepayment Consideration shall be due and payable in connection with such application. Any amount of insurance proceeds remaining in Lender's possession after full and final payment and discharge of all Obligations shall be refunded to, or as directed by, the Borrowers or otherwise paid in accordance with applicable law. If the Property is sold at foreclosure or if Lender acquires title to the Property, Lender shall have all of the right, title and interest of the applicable Borrower in and to any insurance policies and unearned premiums thereon and in and to the proceeds resulting from any damage to such Property prior to such sale or acquisition. (F) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of insurance proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Architect, less a retainage equal to the lesser of (x) the actual retainage required pursuant to the permitted contract, or (y) ten percent 60 (10%) of such costs incurred until the Restoration has been completed. The retainage shall in no event be less than the amount actually held back by the Borrowers from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The retainage shall not be released until the Architect certifies to Lender, or, if no Architect has been retained by Lender, Lender is reasonably satisfied, that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.5 and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental authorities, and Lender receives final lien waivers and such other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the retainage. SECTION 5.6 INSPECTION. Each Borrower shall permit any authorized representatives designated by Lender to visit and inspect during normal business hours its Property and its business, including its financial and accounting records, and to make copies and take extracts therefrom and to discuss its affairs, finances and business with its officers and independent public accountants (with such Borrower's representative(s) present), at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably requested. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall provide advance written notice of at least three (3) Business Days prior to visiting or inspecting any Property or such Borrower's offices. SECTION 5.7 O&M PLAN. Each Borrower that is the owner of a Property set forth on SCHEDULE 5.7 shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Lender an operations and maintenance program (the "O&M PLANS") with respect to suspected asbestos, asbestos-containing materials, and/or mold located in its Property as set forth in the applicable Environmental Reports. Each Borrower shall at all times implement and carry out the O&M Plan in accordance with its terms. Lender's requirement that the Borrowers develop and comply with the O&M Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver or modification of any covenants or agreements of the Borrowers or Guarantor with respect to Hazardous Material or Environmental Laws as set forth in the Environmental Indemnity. SECTION 5.8 INTENTIONALLY DELETED. SECTION 5.9 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS. The Borrowers will (A) comply with the requirements of all present and future applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any governmental authority in all jurisdictions in which it is now doing business or may hereafter be doing business, other than those laws, rules, regulations and orders the noncompliance with which would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the operation or value of any Property, (B) maintain all licenses and permits now held or hereafter acquired by any Borrower, the loss, suspension, or revocation of which, or failure to renew, could have a material adverse effect on the operation or value of any Property and (C) perform, observe, comply and fulfill all of its material obligations, covenants and conditions contained in any Contractual Obligation. SECTION 5.10 FURTHER ASSURANCES. The Borrowers shall, from time to time, execute and/or deliver such documents, instruments, agreements, financing statements, and perform such acts as Lender at any time may reasonably request to evidence, preserve and/or protect the Collateral at any time securing or intended to secure the Obligations and/or to better and more effectively carry out the purposes of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 61 SECTION 5.11 PERFORMANCE OF AGREEMENTS AND LEASES. Each Primary Borrower Party shall duly and punctually perform, observe and comply in all material respects with all of the terms, provisions, conditions, covenants and agreements on its part to be performed, observed and complied with (i) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, (ii) under all Material Agreements and Leases and (iii) all other agreements entered into or assumed by such Person in connection with the Properties, and will not suffer or permit any material default or event of default (giving effect to any applicable notice requirements and cure periods) to exist under any of the foregoing except where the failure to perform, observe or comply with any agreement referred to in this clause (iii) would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the operation or value of any Property. SECTION 5.12 LEASES. (A) Without the prior written consent of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, the Borrowers shall not, nor shall the Borrowers authorize Manager or any other Person to, (i) enter into any Material Lease; (ii) cancel or terminate any Material Lease (except to enforce any such Lease after a default thereunder); (iii) amend or modify any Material Lease (except for minor modifications and amendments entered into in the ordinary course of business, consistent with prudent property management practices, not materially and adversely affecting the economic terms of the Material Lease); (iv) approve any assignment, sublease or underlease of any Material Lease (except as required pursuant to the express terms of any existing Lease or Lease hereafter approved by Lender); or (v) cancel or modify any guaranty, or release any security deposit, letter of credit, or other item constituting security pertaining to any Material Lease (except as required pursuant to the express terms of any existing Lease or Lease hereafter approved by Lender). (B) Any request for approval of any Material Lease or assignment, termination, amendment or modification of any Material Lease shall be made to Lender in writing and together with such request the Borrowers shall furnish to Lender: (i) such biographical and financial information about the proposed tenant as Lender may reasonably require in conjunction with its review, (ii) a copy of the proposed form of Lease (or amendment or modification), and (iii) a summary of the material terms of such proposed Lease (or amendment or modification) including, without limitation, rental terms and the term of the proposed Lease and any options. Lender's approval of any Material Lease or assignment, termination, amendment or modification of any Material Lease, shall be deemed given, if the first correspondence from the Borrowers to Lender requesting such approval is in an envelope marked "PRIORITY" and contains a bold-faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page thereof stating that "IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO OR TO EXPRESSLY DENY THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL MAY BE DEEMED GIVEN", and is accompanied by the information and documents required above and any other information reasonably requested by Lender in writing prior to the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period in order to adequately review the same has been delivered and, if Lender fails to respond or to expressly deny such request for approval in writing within the fifteen (15) day period, a second notice is delivered to Lender from the Borrowers in an envelope marked "PRIORITY" requesting approval containing a bold-faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page thereof stating that "IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO OR EXPRESSLY DENY THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN" and Lender fails to respond or to expressly deny each request for approval within the ten (10) day period. 62 Except for security deposits, no Material Lease executed after the Closing Date shall provide for payment of rent more than one month in advance, and the Borrowers shall not under any circumstances collect any such rent more than one month in advance. The Borrowers, at Lender's request, shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Material Leases hereafter made. Each new Material Lease or a separate agreement with the tenant of such Material Lease shall be in recordable form and shall specifically provide that such Material Lease (i) is subordinate to the Mortgages; (ii) that the tenant attorns to Lender, such attornment to be effective upon Lender's acquisition of title to the Property; (iii) that the tenant agrees to execute such further evidences of attornment as Lender may from time to time request; (iv) that the attornment of the tenant shall not be terminated by foreclosure; (v) that in no event shall Lender, as holder of the Mortgages or as successor landlord, be liable to the tenant for any act or omission of any prior landlord or for any liability or obligation of any prior landlord occurring prior to the date that Lender or any subsequent owner acquire title to the Property; and (vi) that Lender may, at Lender's option, accept or reject such attornment. SECTION 5.13 MANAGEMENT; FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS. (A) The Borrowers shall cause each Manager to manage the Properties in accordance with the Management Agreements including, without limitation, maintaining inventory in amounts and types customary for hotels comparable to each Property. The Borrowers shall (i) perform and observe all of the material terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of each Borrower to be performed and observed, and (ii) promptly notify Lender of any notice to any of the Borrowers of any material default under the Management Agreement of which it is aware. If any of the Borrowers shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the applicable Management Agreement on the part of the Borrowers to be performed or observed, then, without limiting Lender's other rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and without waiving or releasing the Borrowers from any of their obligations hereunder or under the applicable Management Agreement, Lender shall have the right, upon prior written notice to the Borrower, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act as may be reasonably appropriate to cause such material conditions of the applicable Management Agreement on the part of the Borrowers to be performed or observed. (B) The Borrowers shall not surrender, terminate, cancel, modify (other than non-material changes), renew or extend the Management Agreement, or enter into any other Management Agreement with Manager or any new Manager, or consent to the assignment by the Manager of its interest under the Management Agreement, in each case without (i) prior to a Securitization, the express consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, or (ii) after a Securitization, delivery of Rating Confirmations from each of the Rating Agencies. The Borrowers shall cause any new Manager with respect to any Property to execute and deliver a subordination of management agreement in substantially the form delivered in connection with the closing of the Loan. (C) Lender shall have the right to require any of the Borrowers to replace any Manager with a Person chosen by the Borrowers and reasonably acceptable to Lender (unless such proposed Manager is an Acceptable Manager) and the applicable Franchisor (to the extent the applicable Franchisor has consent rights), upon the earliest to occur of any one or more of the 63 following events: (i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default; (ii) thirty (30) days after notice from Lender to the Borrowers if Manager has engaged in fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct arising from or in connection with its performance under the applicable Management Agreement; or (iii) upon a change of control of the current Manager. (D) The Borrowers shall not terminate or enter into any Franchise Agreement without Lender's prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in Lender's sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following changes to Franchise Agreements shall be permitted without Lender's prior written consent: (i) Replacement of any Franchise Agreement with a new Franchise Agreement in form substantially similar to a form previously approved by Lender with any Franchisor that would cause a Tier 3 Hotel to become either a Tier 2 Hotel or a Tier 1 Hotel, or that would cause a Tier 2 Hotel to become a Tier 1 Hotel; (ii) Replacement of any Franchise Agreement with a new Franchise Agreement in form substantially similar to a form previously approved by Lender with another Franchisor within the same Category, provided that the Borrowers shall not replace Franchise Agreements (in the aggregate) pursuant to this Section 5.13(D)(ii) with respect to more than the lesser of (x) three (3) Properties, or (y) Properties with Aggregate Allocated Loan Amounts (in the aggregate) of ten percent (10%) of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance; (iii) Replacement of any Franchise Agreement at a Tier 2 Hotel with a new Franchise Agreement in form substantially similar to a form previously approved by Lender for Tier 3 Hotels, provided that the Borrowers shall not replace Franchise Agreements (in the aggregate) pursuant to this Section 5.13(D)(iii) with respect to more than the lesser of (x) two (2) Properties, or (y) Properties with Aggregate Allocated Loan Amounts (in the aggregate) of three percent (3%) (in each case under clauses (x) or (y), exclusive of the Franchise Agreement for the Holiday Inn, located at 5252 New Jessup Highway, Brunswick, Georgia 31525, which is in the process of being reflagged as a "Park Inn"); (iv) Entering into a new Franchise Agreement in form substantially similar to a form previously approved by Lender with an Acceptable Franchisor for any of the Non-Flagged Hotels, at which time the applicable Property shall be deemed to be within the Category determined by the applicable Franchise Agreement; (v) Entering into a new Franchise Agreement in form substantially similar to a form previously approved by Lender with Park Hospitality LLC under the "Park Inn" brand for the hotel located at 5252 New Jessup Highway, Brunswick, Georgia 31525 at which time the applicable Property shall be deemed to be a Tier 3 Hotel; and 64 (vi) Entering into new Franchise Agreements (or amendments or addenda to existing Franchise Agreements) with the existing Franchisors for the applicable Properties for the same franchise brand, each in form substantially similar to the forms previously approved for the respective Properties by Lender, as required by the existing Franchisors under the respective Franchise Agreements in connection with the transfers of the applicable Properties and the direct and indirect ownership interests in the Borrowers made by the Borrower Parties and their Affiliates in connection with the Closing of the Loan. In connection with the replacement of any Franchisors permitted hereunder, the applicable Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days of the execution of such Franchise Agreement, deliver to Lender a Franchisor Letter from any replacement Franchisor in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender. In all cases, each Borrower shall (a) cause the hotel located on the applicable Property to be operated pursuant to the applicable Franchise Agreement; (b) promptly perform and observe in all material respects all of the covenants required to be performed and observed by it under the applicable Franchise Agreement (including the requirements of any Property Improvement Plan); (c) promptly notify Lender of any material default under the applicable Franchise Agreement of which it is aware; and (d) promptly enforce in a commercially reasonable manner the performance and observance of all of the material covenants required to be performed and observed by the Franchisor under the Franchise Agreement.

Lender's consent to any replacement of any Franchise Agreement, or the termination, renewal, extension or modification of an existing Franchise Agreement, shall be deemed given, if the first correspondence from the Borrowers to Lender requesting such consent is in an envelope marked "PRIORITY" and contains a bold-faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page thereof stating that "IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO OR TO EXPRESSLY DENY THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL MAY BE DEEMED GIVEN", and is accompanied by the information and documents required above and any other information reasonably requested by Lender in writing prior to the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period in order to adequately review the same has been delivered and, if Lender fails to respond or to expressly deny such request for approval in writing within the fifteen (15) day period, a second notice is delivered to Lender from the Borrowers in an envelope marked "PRIORITY" requesting approval containing a bold-faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page thereof stating that "IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO OR EXPRESSLY DENY THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN" and Lender fails to respond or to expressly deny each request for approval within the ten (10) day period. SECTION 5.14 MATERIAL AGREEMENTS. The Borrowers shall not enter into or become obligated under any Material Agreement pertaining to any Property without Lender's prior written 65 approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned; except that the following Material Agreements shall not require Lender approval: (i) any Lease that does not require Lender's approval under, and otherwise complies with, the provisions of Section 5.12 hereof, (ii) any Management Agreement that does not require Lender's approval under, and otherwise complies with, the provisions of Section 5.13 hereof (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not affect Borrowers' obligation to deliver Rating Confirmations with respect to any such Management Agreement if required under Section 5.13), (iii) the existing Material Agreements described on SCHEDULE 5.14 attached hereto, (iv) any Franchise Agreement that does not require Lender's approval under, and otherwise complies with, the provisions of Section 5.13(E) or (v) any other agreement that may be terminated without cause and without payment of a penalty or premium, on not more than thirty (30) days' prior written notice.

SECTION 5.16 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. (A) Within ten (10) Business Days following a request by Lender, the Borrowers shall provide to Lender a duly acknowledged written statement confirming (i) the amount of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, (ii) the terms of payment and maturity date of the Note, (iii) the date to which interest has been paid, (iv) whether any offsets or defenses exist against the Obligations, and if any such offsets or defenses are alleged to exist, the nature thereof shall be set forth in detail and (v) that this Loan Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents are legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrowers and have not been modified or amended, or if modified or amended, describing such modification or amendments.

The Borrowers shall not make any payment or permit any payment to be made to any Related Person of any of the Borrowers when or as to any time when any Event of Default shall exist. 67 SECTION 5.22 BANKRUPTCY, RECEIVERS, SIMILAR MATTERS.

In any Involuntary Borrower Bankruptcy, no Borrower Party shall, without the prior written consent of Lender, consent to the entry of any order, file any motion, or support any motion (irrespective of the subject of the motion), and the Borrowers shall not file or support any plan of reorganization. The Borrowers having any interest in any Involuntary Borrower Bankruptcy shall do all things reasonably requested by Lender to assist Lender in obtaining such relief as Lender shall seek, and shall in all events vote as directed by Lender. Without limitation of the foregoing, each such Borrower shall do all things reasonably requested by Lender to support any motion for relief from stay or plan of reorganization proposed or supported by Lender.

The Borrowers shall not: (i) engage in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the IRC; or (ii) except as may be necessary to comply with applicable laws, establish or amend any Employee Benefit Plan which establishment or amendment could result in liability to the Borrowers or any ERISA Affiliate or increase the obligation of the Borrowers, provided that the Borrower shall not be in default of this covenant if, in either case, any portion of the Loan has been, or will be, funded with plan assets of any employee benefit plan that either (x) is subject to Title I of ERISA or any plan that is covered by Section 4975 of the Code (unless the Lender is eligible to apply for one or more exemptions such that the Loan will not constitute a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA) or (y) could subject a Borrower Party or its Affiliates to an excise tax under Section 4975 of the IRC.

SECTION 5.24 PRESS RELEASE. The Borrowers shall not, and shall not permit any other Person within its control to, disclose the name of Lender or terms of this Loan Agreement or the Loan Documents in any press release without the prior written consent of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Borrowers shall be permitted to make such filings and disclosures with respect to the Loan as are required by law. SECTION 5.25 GROUND LEASES. (A) NO MODIFICATION. The Borrowers shall not modify or amend, or terminate or surrender any Ground Lease, in each case without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion. Any attempted or purported modification, amendment, or any surrender or termination of any Ground Lease without Lender's prior written consent shall be null and void and of no force or effect. (B) PERFORMANCE OF GROUND LEASES. The Borrowers shall fully perform as and when due each and all of its obligations under each Ground Lease in accordance with the terms of such Ground Lease, and shall not cause or suffer to occur any material breach or default in any of such obligations. The Borrowers shall keep and maintain each Ground Lease in full force and effect. The Borrowers shall exercise any option to renew or extend any Ground Lease and give written confirmation thereof to Lender within thirty (30) days after such option is exercised. Notwithstanding that certain of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Loan Agreement may be similar or identical to certain of the obligations of the Borrowers under the Ground Leases, all of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Loan Agreement are and shall be separate from and in addition to its obligations under the Ground Leases. (C) NOTICE OF DEFAULT. If any of the Borrowers shall have or receive any written notice that any Ground Lease Default has occurred, then the Borrowers immediately shall notify Lender in writing of the same and immediately deliver to Lender a true and complete copy of each such notice. Further, the Borrowers shall provide such documents and information as Lender shall reasonably request concerning the Ground Lease Default. (D) LENDER'S RIGHT TO CURE. If any Ground Lease Default shall occur and be continuing, or if any Ground Lessor asserts that a Ground Lease Default has occurred (whether or not the Borrowers question or deny such assertion), then, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Ground Lease, Lender, upon five (5) Business Days' prior written notice to the Borrowers, unless Lender reasonably determines that a shorter period (or no period) of notice is necessary to protect Lender's interest in the Ground Lease, may (but shall not be obligated to) take any action that Lender deems reasonably necessary, including, without limitation, (i) performance or attempted performance of the applicable Borrower's obligations under the applicable Ground Lease, (ii) curing or attempting to cure any actual or purported Ground Lease Default, (iii) mitigating or attempting to mitigate any damages or consequences of the same and 69 (iv) entry upon the applicable Ground Leased Property for any or all of such purposes. Upon Lender's request, each Borrower shall submit satisfactory evidence of payment or performance of any of its obligations under each Ground Lease. Lender may pay and expend such sums of money as Lender in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable for any such purpose, and the Borrowers shall pay to Lender within five (5) Business Days of the written demand of Lender all such sums so paid or expended by Lender, together with interest thereon from the date of expenditure at the Default Rate. (E) LEGAL ACTION. The Borrowers shall not commence any action or proceeding against any Ground Lessor or affecting or potentially affecting any Ground Lease or the Borrowers' or Lender's interest therein, the effect of which could cause an event of default or termination of any such Ground Lease, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Borrowers shall notify Lender immediately if any action or proceeding shall be commenced between any Ground Lessor and either Borrower, or affecting or potentially affecting any Ground Lease or either Borrower's or Lender's interest therein (including, without limitation, any case commenced by or against any Ground Lessor under the Bankruptcy Code). Lender shall have the option, exercisable upon notice from Lender to the Borrowers, to participate in any such action or proceeding with counsel of Lender's choice. The Borrowers shall cooperate with Lender, comply with the reasonable instructions of Lender, execute any and all powers, authorizations, consents or other documents reasonably required by Lender in connection therewith, and shall not settle any such action or proceeding without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. (F) ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Ground Lease, from time to time, at Lender's request, the Borrowers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Lender within the time period required under the applicable Ground Lease, an estoppel certificate from each Ground Lessor setting forth (A) (i) the identities of the original lessor and lessee under the applicable Ground Lease and each of their respective successors, (ii) that the Ground Lease has not been modified or, if it has been modified, the date of each modification (together with copies of each such modification), (iii) the rent payable under the Ground Lease, (iv) the dates to which all rent and other charges have been paid, (v) whether there are any alleged Ground Lease Defaults and, if so, setting forth the nature thereof in reasonable detail, and (vi) such other matters as Lender may reasonably request or (B) the matters required to be certified by the Ground Lessor under the applicable Ground Lease. The Borrowers shall not be required to request an estoppel from any Ground Lessor more than two (2) times in any calendar year. (G) BANKRUPTCY. (i) If any Ground Lessor shall reject any Ground Lease under or pursuant to Section 365 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Borrowers shall not elect to treat the Ground Lease as terminated but shall elect to remain in possession of the applicable Ground Leased Property and the leasehold estate under such Ground Lease. The lien of the Mortgage covering such Property does and shall encumber and attach to all of the Borrowers' rights and remedies at any time arising under or pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, including without 70 limitation, all of such Borrower's rights to remain in possession of such Property and the leasehold estate. (ii) The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that in any case commenced by or against the Borrowers under the Bankruptcy Code, Lender by reason of the liens and rights granted under the Mortgage covering such Property and the Loan Documents shall have a substantial and material interest in the treatment and preservation of such Borrower's rights and obligations under such Ground Lease, and that such Borrower shall, in any such bankruptcy case, provide to Lender immediate and continuous reasonably adequate protection of such interests. Each Borrower and Lender agree that such adequate protection shall include but shall not necessarily be limited to the following: (a) Lender shall be deemed a party to the Ground Lease (but shall not have any obligations thereunder) for purposes of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, and shall, provided that, prior to an Event of Default, no such action by Lender would adversely and materially affect the Borrowers' ability to prosecute, or defend, any such claims asserted therein, have standing to appear and act as a party in interest in relation to any matter arising out of or related to the Ground Lease or such Property. (b) The Borrowers shall serve Lender with copies of all notices, pleadings and other documents relating to or affecting the Ground Lease or the applicable Property. Any notice, pleading or document served by the Borrowers on any other party in the bankruptcy case shall be contemporaneously served by such Borrower on Lender, and any notice, pleading or document served upon or received by such Borrower from any other party in the bankruptcy case shall be served by such Borrower on Lender promptly upon receipt by such Borrower. (c) Upon written request of Lender, the Borrowers shall assume the Ground Lease, and shall take such steps as are necessary to preserve such Borrower's right to assume the Ground Lease, including without limitation using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain extensions of time to assume or reject the Ground Lease under Subsection 365(d) of the Bankruptcy Code to the extent it is applicable. (H) ASSUMPTION AND ASSIGNMENT. If the Borrowers or the applicable Ground Lessor seeks to reject any Ground Lease or have the Ground Lease deemed rejected, then prior to the hearing on such rejection Lender shall, subject to applicable law, be given no less than twenty (20) days' notice and opportunity to elect in lieu of rejection to have the Ground Lease assumed and assigned to a nominee of Lender. If Lender shall so elect to assume and assign the Ground Lease, then the Borrowers shall, subject to applicable law, continue any request to reject the Ground Lease until after the motion to assume and assign has been heard. If Lender shall not elect to assume and assign the Ground Lease, then Lender may, subject to applicable law, obtain in connection with the rejection of the Ground Lease a determination that the applicable Ground Lessor, at Lender's option, shall (1) agree to terminate the Ground Lease and enter into a new lease with Lender on the same terms and conditions as the Ground Lease, for the remaining term of the Ground Lease, or (2) treat the Ground Lease as breached and provide Lender with the rights to cure defaults under the Ground Lease and to assume the rights and benefits of the Ground Lease. 71 Each Borrower shall join with and support any request by Lender to grant and approve the foregoing as necessary for adequate protection of Lender's interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender may seek additional terms and conditions, including such economic and monetary protections as it deems reasonably appropriate to adequately protect its interests, and any request for such additional terms or conditions shall not delay or limit Lender's right to receive the specific elements of adequate protection set forth herein. Each Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its attorney in fact to act on behalf of Lender in connection with all matters relating to or arising out of the assumption or rejection of any Ground Lease, in which the other party to the lease is a debtor in a case under the Bankruptcy Code. This grant of power of attorney is present, unconditional, irrevocable, durable and coupled with an interest. SECTION 5.26 CONDOMINIUM PROPERTY. (A) NO MODIFICATION. The Condominium Borrower shall not modify or amend any material terms of, or terminate any of the Condominium Property Documents, in each case, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. (B) PERFORMANCE OF CONDOMINIUM PROPERTY DOCUMENTS. The Condominium Borrower shall fully and faithfully pay when due and payable all assessments, common charges and other charges payable by the Condominium Borrower under the Condominium Property Documents and shall perform as and when due each of its material obligations under the Condominium Property Documents in substantial accordance with their respective terms, and shall not cause or suffer to occur any breach or default in any of such obligations. The Condominium Borrower shall keep and maintain each of the Condominium Property Documents in full force and effect. (C) NOTICE OF DEFAULT. If the Condominium Borrower shall receive any written notice of any Condominium Default, the Condominium Borrower immediately shall notify Lender of same and deliver to Lender a true and complete copy of each such notice, and provide such documents and information as Lender may reasonably request concerning such Condominium Default. (D) LENDER'S RIGHT TO CURE. If any Condominium Default shall occur and be continuing, or if any party to any Condominium Property Document asserts that a Condominium Default has occurred (whether or not the Borrowers question or deny such assertion), then, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Condominium Property Documents, after notice to the Condominium Borrower, Lender upon five (5) Business Days' prior written notice to the Borrowers, unless Lender reasonably determines that a shorter period (or no period) of notice is necessary to protect Lender's interest in the Ground Lease, may (but shall not be obligated to) take any action that Lender deems reasonably necessary to cure such Condominium Default, including, without limitation, (i) performance or attempted performance of the Borrowers' obligations under the applicable Condominium Property Documents, (ii) curing or attempting to cure any actual or purported Condominium Default, (iii) mitigating or attempting to mitigate any damages or consequences of the same and (iv) entry upon the Condominium 72 Property for any or all of such purposes. Upon Lender's request, the Condominium Borrower shall submit satisfactory evidence of payment or performance of any of its obligations under each of the Condominium Property Documents. Lender may pay and expend such sums of money as Lender in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable for any such purpose, and the Borrowers shall pay to Lender within five (5) Business Days of the written demand of Lender all such sums so paid or expended by Lender pursuant to this Section 5.26, together with interest thereon from the date of expenditure at the Default Rate. (E) PRESERVATION OF CONDOMINIUM. The Condominium Borrower will do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights, powers and privileges under the Condominium Property Documents and to prevent the termination or expiration of the Condominium Property Documents, or the withdrawal of the Condominium Property from a condominium form of ownership under applicable law, to the end that the Condominium Borrower may enjoy all of the material rights granted to it as a party to the Condominium Property Documents. (F) NOTICE OF CONDOMINIUM DEFAULTS. The Condominium Borrower will (i) promptly notify Lender of the receipt by the Condominium Borrower of any notice from the Board of Managers, or the owner of any other unit in the condominium, covering the Condominium Property, asserting or claiming a default by the Condominium Borrower thereunder or lack of compliance by the Condominium Borrower with the Condominium Property Documents, (ii) promptly notify Lender of the receipt by the Condominium Borrower of any notice or request from the Board of Managers or owner of any unit of the termination or purported termination of the Condominium Property Documents or to withdraw the Condominium Property from condominium ownership pursuant to applicable law or to seek any action for partition, (iii) promptly notify Lender of the receipt by the Condominium Borrower of any notice or request from the Board of Managers or owner of any unit of the material modification or change or proposed material modification or change of the Condominium Property Documents and (iv) promptly cause a copy of each such notice of request received by the Condominium Borrower from the Board of Managers or any unit owner, or from a mortgagee of a mortgage on such other unit, to be delivered to Lender. The Condominium Borrower will permit Lender to participate in any such partition or withdrawal proceeding to the extent permitted by law and the Condominium Property Documents (but Lender shall not be obligated so to do). The Condominium Borrower will promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each notice, pleading, brief and preliminary, interim and final determination or decision and other papers received by it in each such partition or withdrawal proceeding. (G) STATEMENTS, NOTICES. The Condominium Borrower will, within twenty (20) days after demand from Lender (which shall not be required more than two (2) times in any calendar year), obtain, if and to the extent that the Condominium Borrower is entitled to the same under the Condominium Property Documents, and otherwise request from and make good faith efforts to obtain, from the Board of Managers and deliver to Lender a duly signed and acknowledged certificate (signed also by the Condominium Borrower) that the Condominium Property Documents are unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if the same have been modified in compliance with this Loan Agreement, that the Condominium Property Documents are in full force and effect as to modified and that there have been no other modifications), stating the dates to which the assessments, common charges and other charges payable under the Condominium 73 Property Documents have been paid and stating whether to each certifying party's knowledge, the Condominium Borrower is in compliance with the Condominium Property Documents, or, if not, specifying each default or failure of compliance of which the certifying party has knowledge. The Condominium Borrower will, promptly upon receipt thereof by the Condominium Borrower, furnish Lender with a copy of all notices and statements, however characterized, issued by the Board of Managers or relating to the Condominium Property Documents including without limitation, financial statements and projected budgets. SECTION 5.27 LENDER'S EXPENSES. The Borrowers shall pay, on demand by Lender, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, charges, costs and fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with the negotiation, documentation, closing, administration, servicing, enforcement interpretation, and collection of the Loan and the Loan Documents, and in the preservation and protection of Lender's rights hereunder and thereunder. Without limitation the Borrowers shall pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Lender in any case or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code (or any law succeeding or replacing any of the same).

SECTION 5.29 CANCELLATION OF INDEBTEDNESS; SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein to the contrary, the Borrowers shall not cancel any indebtedness from any Person owing to any Borrower, or settle any claims without Lender's prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(A) The Borrowers hereby pledge, assign and grant to Lender a security interest in and to all of the Borrowers' right, title and interest in and to the Account Collateral, including the Reserves, as security for payment and performance of all of the Obligations hereunder and under the Note and the other Loan Documents. The Reserves constitute Account Collateral and are subject to the security interest in favor of Lender created herein and all provisions of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents pertaining to Account Collateral. (B) In addition to the rights and remedies provided in Article VII and elsewhere herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender shall have all rights and remedies pertaining to the Reserves as are provided for in any of the Loan Documents or under any applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, upon and at all times after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, may use the Reserves (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to any combination of the following: (i) payment of any of the Obligations including the Prepayment Consideration (if any) applicable upon such payment in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion; provided, however, that such application of funds shall not cure or be deemed to cure any Default; (ii) reimbursement of Lender for any actual losses or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees) suffered or incurred as a result of such Event of Default; (iii) payment for the work or obligation for which such Reserves were reserved or were required to be reserved; and (iv) application of the Reserves in connection with the exercise of any and all rights and remedies available to Lender at law or in equity or under this Loan Agreement or pursuant to any of the other Loan Documents. Nothing contained in this Loan Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the funds contained in the Reserves during the continuance of an Event of Default to payment of the Loan or in any specific order of priority. SECTION 6.2 FUNDS DEPOSITED WITH LENDER. (A) INTEREST, OFFSETS. Except only as expressly provided otherwise herein, all funds of the Borrowers which are deposited with Lock Box Account Bank as Reserves hereunder shall be held by Lock Box Account Bank in one or more Permitted Investments, such Permitted Investments, prior to an Event of Default, to be as directed by Borrower. All interest which accrues on the Reserves shall be taxable to the Borrowers and shall be added to and disbursed in the same manner and under the same conditions as the principal sum on which said interest accrued. Additional provisions pertaining to investments are set forth in Article VII. After repayment of all of the Obligations, all funds held as Reserves will be promptly returned to, or as directed by, the Borrowers. (B) FUNDING AT CLOSING. The Borrowers shall deposit with Lender the amounts necessary to fund each of the Reserves as set forth below. Deposits into the Reserves at Closing may occur by deduction from the amount of the Loan that otherwise would be disbursed to the Borrowers, followed by deposit of the same into the applicable Sub-Account or Account of the 75 Lock Box Account in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding such deductions, the Loan shall be deemed for all purposes to be fully disbursed at Closing. SECTION 6.3 IMPOSITIONS AND INSURANCE RESERVE. On the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall deposit with Lock Box Account Bank $2,162,828.40 and, pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement, the Borrowers shall deposit monthly, on each Payment Date commencing on the Payment date in July 2004, 1/12th of the annual charges (as reasonably estimated by Lender) for all Impositions and all Insurance Premiums (other than for D&O Insurance) payable with respect to the Properties hereunder (said funds, together with any interest thereon and additions thereto, the "IMPOSITIONS AND INSURANCE RESERVE"). The initial amount of the monthly deposit to be made to the Impositions and Insurance Reserve from and after the date hereof is $487,739.18. The Borrowers shall also deposit with Lock Box Account Bank within ten (10) Business Days of the written demand by Lender, to be added to and included within such reserve, a sum of money which Lender reasonably estimates, together with such monthly deposits, will be sufficient to make the payment of each such charge at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date initially due. The Borrowers shall provide Lender with bills and all other documents necessary for the payment of the foregoing charges at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which each payment shall first become subject to penalty or interest if not paid. So long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Borrowers have provided Lender with the foregoing bills and other documents in a timely manner, and (iii) sufficient funds are held by Lender for the payment of the Impositions and Insurance Premiums relating to each of the Properties, Lender shall pay said items or disburse to the Borrowers from such Reserve an amount sufficient to pay said items. Interest shall accrue in favor of the Borrowers on funds in the Impositions and Insurance Reserve and be added to the balance thereof and disbursed in accordance with the terms hereof. SECTION 6.4 FF&E RESERVE. On or prior to the Closing Date, Lender or Servicer on behalf of Lender shall establish and maintain with Lock Box Bank an account for the purpose of creating a reserve for replacements of FF&E at or in, or used in connection with, the Properties (the "REPLACEMENTS") in accordance with the applicable CapEx/FF&E Budget approved by Lender (said funds, together with any interest thereon and additions thereto, the "FF&E RESERVE"). The FF&E Reserve shall be held in an Eligible Account entitled "FF&E Reserve Account for the benefit of Merrill Lynch Mortgage Lending, Inc., as secured party" which account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender, subject to the terms of the Cash Management Agreement. Pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement, the Borrowers shall deposit monthly, on each Payment Date commencing with the Payment Date in July 2004, an amount equal to 4.0% of the Operating Revenues generated from the Properties for the prior calendar month (such amount, the "MONTHLY FF&E PAYMENT"). Funds held in the FF&E Reserve may be withdrawn by the Borrowers, subject in all instances to the terms of the Cash Management Agreement, only in accordance with the approved CapEx/FF&E Budget, and no funds held in the FF&E Reserve shall be used in connection with the Required Capital Improvements. Upon and at all times after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no draws will be permitted from the FF&E Reserve other than for Replacements subject, in each instance, to Manager's compliance with the FF&E reporting requirements set forth in Section 5.1(A)(v)(d). 76 SECTION 6.5 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT RESERVE; REQUIRED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS. At Closing, the Borrowers shall deposit with Lock Box Account Bank $16,019,622.00 (said funds, together with any interest thereon, the "CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT RESERVE"), which funds shall be made available to the Borrowers solely for payment of certain Capital Improvements required to be made to the Properties and designated as "Required Capital Improvements" on SCHEDULE 6.5 attached hereto (the "REQUIRED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS") and shall not be used by the Borrowers for purposes for which any other Reserve is established or for any other purpose other than completion of the Required Capital Improvements. The Borrowers shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion, subject to Force Majeure, the Required Capital Improvements within the time periods for each Required Capital Improvement set forth on EXHIBIT A. Funds held in the Capital Improvement Reserve shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 6.7. Subject to the foregoing conditions, but also subject to the last paragraph of Section 11.4, the Borrowers shall be entitled to draw any remaining balance in the Capital Improvement Reserve when all Required Capital Improvements are complete, and paid for, in accordance with the terms hereof. SECTION 6.6 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS REMEDIATION RESERVE. At Closing, the Borrowers shall deposit with Lock Box Account Bank, an amount equal to $21,368.75 (said funds, together with any interest thereon and additions thereto, the "HAZARDOUS MATERIALS REMEDIATION RESERVE") for certain work related to Hazardous Materials on the Properties as indicated in the Environmental Reports for the Properties prepared and delivered prior to the Closing and as such work is more particularly described on SCHEDULE 6.6 (the "ENVIRONMENTAL WORK"). Prior to the earlier of (x) the date required by any applicable Governmental Authority or (y) nine (9) months after the Closing, the Borrowers shall, subject to Force Majeure, complete such Environmental Work and shall provide to Lender such closure reports, no-further-action letters, or other evidence of compliance with law as Lender may reasonably require. The funds contained in the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve shall be utilized by the Borrowers solely for performance of the Environmental Work in accordance with the Environmental Reports, and shall not be used by the Borrowers for purposes for which any other Reserve is established. Subject to the Borrowers' satisfaction of the applicable conditions of Section 6.7, the Borrowers shall be entitled to draw upon the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve to pay for costs that have been incurred by the Borrowers for such Environmental Work, provided that the Borrowers deliver to Lender such evidence as may be reasonably satisfactory to Lender that, after payment of such draw, the funds remaining in the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve shall be sufficient to pay for the remainder of such Environmental Work. Subject to the foregoing conditions, but also subject to the last paragraph of Section 11.4, the Borrowers shall be entitled to draw any remaining balance in the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve when all such Environmental Work is complete, and is paid for, in accordance with the terms hereof. SECTION 6.7 CONDITIONS TO DISBURSEMENTS FROM HAZARDOUS MATERIALS REMEDIATION RESERVE AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT RESERVE; PERFORMANCE OF WORK. (A) DISBURSEMENTS FROM THE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS REMEDIATION RESERVE AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT RESERVE. Upon the Borrowers' written request for disbursement, Lender shall authorize Lock Box Account Bank to disburse funds to or for the account of the Borrowers (x) from the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve, to pay to, or pay on behalf of, the 77 Borrowers for the amount of the Borrowers' actual bona fide out-of-pocket expenditures or costs incurred for Environmental Work (the "APPROVED ENVIRONMENTAL EXPENDITURES", and (y) from the Capital Improvement Reserve, to pay to, or pay on behalf of, the Borrowers for the amount of the Borrowers' actual bona fide out-of-pocket expenditures or costs incurred for Required Capital Improvements ("APPROVED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT EXPENDITURES"; and together with the Approved Environmental Expenditures, collectively, "APPROVED EXPENDITURES"; and the related Environmental Work or Required Capital Improvements to which any such request for disbursement relates shall be referred to as the "WORK"), upon satisfaction of each of the conditions listed on SCHEDULE 6.7 and each of the conditions set forth below in Lender's reasonable discretion: (i) Except as provided in this Section 6.7, each request for disbursement from the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve or the Capital Improvement Reserve (such Reserves, the "WORK RESERVES") shall be made for completion of the Approved Expenditures for which disbursement is requested. (ii) A request for disbursement from the Work Reserves may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, or for payment of deposits required in connection with the Work under such contract, provided (1) all other conditions in this Loan Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (2) funds remaining in the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve are, in Lender's reasonable judgment, sufficient to complete the Environmental Work when required and/or funds remaining in the Capital Improvement Reserve are, in Lender's reasonable judgment, sufficient to complete such item of Required Capital Improvements and any other Required Capital Improvements remaining to be performed, as the case may be, and (3) if reasonably required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments in excess of $100,000 under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor. (iii) To the extent the contract with the relevant contractor or supplier provides for a retainage, each disbursement from a Work Reserve, except for a final disbursement, shall be in the amount of actual costs incurred less the percentage of such costs that the contract with the relevant contractor or supplier specifies to be retained and advanced as part of the final disbursement. No funds will be advanced for materials stored at any Property unless such materials are properly stored and secured at the applicable Property in accordance with the Borrowers' customary procedures and sound construction practices as reasonably determined by Lender. No funds will be advanced for materials stored at any location other than at the Properties unless Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that Lender has a perfected first priority security interest in any such materials. (iv) The amount of all invoices in connection with the Work with respect to which a disbursement is requested and which has been approved by Lender shall be disbursed by Lock Box Account Bank as directed by the Borrowers (in which event, the Borrowers covenant and agree to promptly pay such invoices) or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at Lender's option and in Lender's sole and absolute discretion, directly to the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor indicated on said invoices unless already paid by the Borrowers and Lender has received satisfactory evidence of such payment in which case Lender shall reimburse the Borrowers. All invoices in connection with 78 disbursements from the Capital Improvement Reserve shall be classified as requests for payment for items of Capital Improvement (as opposed to items that, in conformity with GAAP, would be included as Operating Expenses). If the Borrowers request that any amounts be disbursed directly to the Borrowers pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the Borrowers shall be required to deliver evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender of payment of all invoices for which disbursements were previously made to the Borrowers as a condition to such requested disbursement. (v) No more than two (2) disbursements will be made by Lender from the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve or the Capital Improvement Reserve in any calendar month, and, if made in accordance herewith or otherwise approved by Lender, requested disbursements will be made within five (5) Business Days after the request therefor. Lender shall not be required to make any disbursement from a Work Reserve with respect to the Property unless such requested disbursement is in an amount equal to or greater than $25,000 (other than the final disbursement). (vi) Lender reserves the right, at its option and as a condition to any disbursement from a Work Reserve, to approve (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) (i) all drawings and plans and specifications, if any, for any Work which require aggregate payments in amounts exceeding the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the Aggregate Allocated Loan Amount with respect to the applicable Property or (y) $250,000, and (ii) all contracts and work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors and other parties providing labor or materials in connection with any Work which require aggregate payments in amounts exceeding the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the Aggregate Allocated Loan Amount with respect to the applicable Property or (y) $250,000. Upon Lender's reasonable request, the Borrowers shall assign (to the extent assignable) any drawings, plans and specifications, contracts or subcontracts to Lender. Drawings, plans and specifications, contracts and work orders approved by Lender shall not be changed in any material respect without Lender's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. (vii) The Borrowers shall have delivered a certificate to Lender from an Architect certifying that the Work has been completed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with all applicable laws for any item in excess of the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the Aggregate Allocated Loan Amount with respect to the applicable Property or (y) $250,000. Lender may retain its own architect or engineer ("LENDER'S CONSULTANT") to review any plans and specifications for any item in excess of the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the Aggregate Allocated Loan Amount with respect to the applicable Property or (y) $250,000, and to periodically inspect any Work at the Borrowers' sole cost and expense. (viii) The Borrowers shall have delivered to Lender a certificate of the Borrowers (substantially in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT L) certifying as to the actual costs which were incurred by the Borrowers to complete such Work, which costs shall not materially exceed the amount budgeted for such Work under the CapEx/FF&E Budget then in effect unless approved by Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (together with supporting documentation reasonably acceptable to Lender). 79 (ix) The Borrowers shall have delivered to Lender all necessary material certificates, authorizations, permits and licenses which are required to permit the construction and completion of the Work, as issued by the appropriate Governmental Authority. The Borrowers, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, hereby assigns to Lender as additional security for the payment of the Obligations and the observance and performance by the Borrowers of the terms, covenants and provisions of the Loan Documents all right, title and interest which the Borrowers may now have or may hereafter acquire in and to such certificates, authorizations, permits and licenses. (x) Lender may require an inspection of the Property prior to making a monthly disbursement from the applicable Work Reserve in order to verify completion of the Work for which disbursement is sought in excess of the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the Aggregate Allocated Loan Amount with respect to the applicable Property or (y) $250,000. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by Lender's Consultant and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified architect or engineer acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the applicable Work Reserve. The Borrowers shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expense of such inspections as reasonably required hereunder, whether such inspections are conducted by Lender, Servicer, Lender's Consultant or by an independent qualified professional. (B) PERFORMANCE OF WORK. (i) The Borrowers shall complete all Work in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement thereof substantially in accordance with the applicable budget approved by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Loan Agreement. The insufficiency of the balance in the applicable Work Reserve shall not relieve the Borrowers from their obligations to perform and complete the related Work as herein provided or to fulfill all other preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents. (ii) If Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Work is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Work has not been completed in a workmanlike manner, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory work and so notify the Borrowers with reasonable detail regarding the basis for Lender's dissatisfaction and, after the expiration of forty-five (45) days from the giving of such notice by Lender to the Borrowers of such unsatisfactory work without the cure thereof (or, if such unsatisfactory work is susceptible of a cure but cannot reasonably be cured within said forty-five (45) day period and provided that the Borrowers shall have commenced to cure such unsatisfactory work within said forty-five (45) day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, after the expiration of such longer period as is reasonably necessary for the Borrowers in the exercise of due diligence to cure such unsatisfactory work, up to a maximum of an additional sixty (60) days, subject to Force Majeure, without the cure thereof), Lender may proceed under existing contracts or contract with third parties to complete such Work, as the case may be, and apply amounts contained in the applicable Work Reserve toward the labor and materials necessary to complete the same, without providing any additional prior notice to the Borrowers, and exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder. 80 (iii) In order to facilitate Lender's completion or making of any Work pursuant to Section 6.7(B)(ii) above, the Borrowers grant Lender the right to enter onto each Property during normal business hours after the expiration of the notice specified above and perform, subject to the rights of tenants, any and all work and labor necessary to complete the applicable Work and/or employ watchmen to protect the Property from damage. All sums so expended by Lender shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to the Borrowers and secured by the applicable Mortgage. For this purpose, the Borrowers constitute and appoint Lender their true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the applicable Work in the name of the Borrowers pursuant to Section 6.7(B)(ii) above. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrowers empower said attorney-in-fact as follows: (i) to use any funds in the applicable Work Reserve for the purpose of making or completing any Work; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to any Work as shall be reasonably necessary or desirable to complete the same; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against any Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of any Work, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of the Borrowers which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) in its reasonable discretion, to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with any Property or the rehabilitation and repair of such Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which the Borrowers might do in their own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Loan Agreement. (iv) Nothing in this Section shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing any Work; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the amounts on deposit in the applicable Work Reserve to make or complete any Work; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with any Work; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from the Borrowers additional sums to make or complete any Work. (v) The Borrowers shall permit Lender and Lender's agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lender's engineer, architect or inspector) or third parties performing any Work pursuant to this Section 6.7 to enter onto any Property during normal business hours upon reasonable notice (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Work and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating thereto which are or may be kept at any Property, and to complete any Work made pursuant to Section 6.7(B)(ii). The Borrowers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender's representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 6.7(B) or the completion of the Work pursuant to this Section 6.7(B). (vi) All Work and all materials, equipment, fixtures and any other item comprising a part thereof shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic's, materialman's or other liens (except for the Permitted Encumbrances). (vii) All Work shall comply with all applicable legal requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the Properties and applicable insurance 81 requirements, including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations and requirements of insurance underwriters. (C) INDEMNIFICATION. The Borrowers shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations, out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, litigation costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the performance of the Work, except to the extent caused by the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of Lender. The Borrowers shall assign to Lender all rights and claims the Borrowers may have against all Persons supplying labor or materials in connection with the Work; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim or pursue any other action with respect to such rights and claims unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured. SECTION 6.8 CASH TRAP RESERVE. (i) If, at any time prior to the repayment of the Obligations in full, a Cash Trap Event shall occur, then for so long as such Cash Trap Event continues to exist, all Excess Cash Flow (except as otherwise expressly provided below) shall be deposited with Lender (or its Servicer or agent) and held in the Lock Box Account in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement (said funds, together with any interest thereon, the "CASH TRAP RESERVE"). A "CASH TRAP EVENT" shall occur as of any Calculation Date when (x) the Debt Yield is less than the Minimum Debt Yield or (y) during the Second Extension Term or Third Extension Term, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is less than the Minimum DSCR, in each case for the trailing twelve (12) month period ending on such Calculation Date and shall continue to exist until such time as the Minimum Debt Yield and, during the Second Extension Term or Third Extension Term, the Minimum DSCR tests have been satisfied for three (3) consecutive Calculation Dates (on a trailing twelve (12) month basis) following the commencement of the applicable Cash Trap Event. Notwithstanding that the Debt Yield is less than the Minimum Debt Yield or, if applicable, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is less than the Minimum DSCR as of any Calculation Date, no Cash Trap Event shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of such event if the Borrowers make a principal prepayment of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance (which prepayment amount shall be disbursed on the next Payment Date in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement), within three (3) Business Days after the date of delivery of the financial statements disclosing the existence of such Cash Trap Event (or the date on which such financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1), in an amount equal to the greater of (x) one percent (1%) of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance, or (y) 120% of the amount, as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion, sufficient to cause the Debt Yield to meet or exceed the Minimum Debt Yield and, if applicable, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio to meet or exceed the Minimum DSCR if such calculations were recalculated as provided above assuming that such amount was applied to reduce the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance as of the first day of the relevant measuring period. During the continuance of a Cash Trap Event, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any funds on deposit in the Cash Trap Reserve may, at the Borrowers' election, be retained in the Cash Trap Reserve or may be applied to (i) prepayment of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance as provided above, (ii) Capital Expenditures reasonably approved by Lender, or (iii) scheduled payments (not to exceed $900,000 in the aggregate) of principal and interest under the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan (to be applied in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement). Any funds on 82 deposit in the Cash Trap Reserve shall continue to be held as additional Collateral in accordance with this Section 6.8 until the earlier of (a) the date that such funds are applied or disbursed pursuant to the foregoing sentence or (b) the date that the Minimum Debt Yield and, during the Second Extension Term or Third Extension Term, the Minimum DSCR tests have each been satisfied for three (3) consecutive months (as determined above), at which time, provided no Event of Default exists, and no Cash Trap Event has commenced, such funds, together with any and all amounts then held in the Minimum Balance Sub-Account (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement), shall be automatically released to the Borrowers without any further certification requirements on the part of the Borrowers. The existence of a Cash Trap Event shall be determined by Lender in its reasonable good faith determination. If Lender determines that a Cash Trap Event has occurred, Lender shall send the Borrowers written notice thereof. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all funds on deposit in the Cash Trap Reserve and any subsequent Excess Cash Flow, while such Event of Default is continuing, may be applied by Lender to payment of the Loan (including payment of any Prepayment Consideration) or other Obligations (or to the obligations of the Mezzanine Borrowers to Mezzanine Lender) as Lender may elect.

The Deposit Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender (which dominion and control may be exercised by Servicer). Among other things, the Deposit Account Agreement shall provide that the Borrowers shall have no access to or control over the Deposit Account, that all available funds on deposit in the Deposit Account shall be transferred by wire transfer (or transfer via the ACH System) on each Business Day by the Deposit Bank into the Lock Box Account, for application in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement. The Deposit Bank and the Lock Box Account Bank shall be directed to deliver to the Borrowers copies of bank statements and other information made available by the Deposit Bank and the Lock Box Account Bank concerning the Deposit Account and the Lock Box Account. (ii) Upon establishing the Deposit Account, (1) the Borrowers shall cause any and all Operating Revenues, including distributions or other payments made directly or indirectly to the Borrowers, Manager, or any of their respective Affiliates, from any Beverage Company, to be deposited promptly into the Deposit Account and in no event later than two (2) Business Days after the same are paid to or for the benefit of the Borrowers, and (2) the Borrowers shall obtain agreements (each, a "CREDIT CARD RECEIVABLES PAYMENT DIRECTION LETTER") from each of the 83 Persons paying or disbursing credit card receivables (the "CREDIT CARD COMPANIES"), substantially similar to Lender's form or otherwise in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, pursuant to which the Credit Card Companies agree to pay all credit card receivables into the Lock Box Account, and acknowledge and agree that Lender shall have a first priority perfected security interest in such credit card receivables. To the extent that the Borrowers or any Person on the Borrowers' behalf holds any Receipts, whether in accordance with this Loan Agreement or otherwise, the Borrowers shall be deemed to hold the same in trust for Lender for the protection of the interests of Lender hereunder and under the Loan Documents. The Borrowers represent and warrant that, as of the date hereof, the only Credit Card Companies paying or disbursing credit card receivables with respect to the Property are Chase Merchant Services, American Express, Discover Financial Service, Diners Club, JCB (Japanese Credit Bureau), and, if any of the Borrowers shall hereafter enter into an agreement with any other Credit Card Company pursuant to which such Credit Card Company shall pay credit card receivables with respect to the Properties, such Borrower shall promptly obtain a Credit Card Receivables Payment Direction Letter in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender from such Credit Card Company. (ii) The Borrowers shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the transactions and other matters contemplated by this Section 7.1, including but not limited to, Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, and all reasonable fees and expenses of the Deposit Bank and the Lock Box Account Bank, including without limitation their reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. (B) LOCK BOX ACCOUNT. On or before the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the Cash Management Agreement, an Eligible Account shall be established in the name of Lender, as secured party hereunder, to serve as the "Lock Box Account" (said account, and any account replacing the same in accordance with this Loan Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement, the "LOCK BOX ACCOUNT"; and the depositary institution in which the Lock Box Account is maintained, the "LOCK BOX ACCOUNT BANK"). The Lock Box Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender (which dominion and control may be exercised by Servicer); and except as expressly provided hereunder and/or in the Cash Management Agreement, the Borrowers shall not have the right to control or direct the investment or payment of funds therein during the continuance of an Event of Default. Lender may elect to change any financial institution in which the Lock Box Account shall be maintained if such institution is no longer an Eligible Bank, upon not less than five (5) Business Days' notice to the Borrower. The Lock Box Account shall be deemed to contain such sub-accounts as Lender may designate ("SUB-ACCOUNTS"), which may be maintained as separate ledger accounts and need not be separate Eligible Accounts. The Sub-Accounts shall include the following as more particularly described in the Cash Management Agreement: (i) "DEBT SERVICE SUB-ACCOUNT" means the Sub-Account of the Lock Box Account established for the purposes of reserving for payments of principal and interest and other amounts due under the Loan Documents (but without duplication of amounts covered under item (ii) below); and (ii) "RESERVE SUB-ACCOUNTS" means the Sub-Accounts of the Lock Box Account established for the purpose of holding funds in the Reserves including: (a) the 84 "Imposition and Insurance Reserve Sub-Account"; (b) the "Capital Improvement Reserve Sub-Account"; (c) the "Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve Sub-Account"; (d) the "Extraordinary Receipts Sub-Account" (e) the "Mezzanine Loan Debt Service Sub-Account"; (f) the "Minimum Balance Sub-Account" and (g) the "Cash Trap Reserve Sub-Account". SECTION 7.2 APPLICATION OF FUNDS IN LOCK BOX ACCOUNT. Funds in the Lock Box Account shall be allocated to the Sub-Accounts or the other Accounts (or paid, as the case may be) in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement. SECTION 7.3 APPLICATION OF FUNDS AFTER EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section or elsewhere, Lender shall have all rights and remedies available under applicable law and under the Loan Documents. Without limitation of the foregoing, for so long as an Event of Default exists, Lender may apply any and all funds in the Deposit Account, and/or any Sub-Accounts against all or any portion of any of the Obligations, in any order.

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 each Property and the Mortgages have been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Obligations or the Obligations have been paid in full. (C) Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgages in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgages then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event the Borrowers default beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage or any of them to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered. (D) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided 88 hereunder. The Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, within ten (10) days after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall reasonably request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. The Borrowers hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoint Lender as their true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in their name and stead to make and execute all documents reasonably necessary to effect the aforesaid severance if the Borrowers fail to do so within ten (10) days of Lender's written request, the Borrowers ratifying all that their said attorney shall do by virtue thereof. (E) Any amounts recovered from the Properties or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine. (F) The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Loan Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against the Borrowers pursuant to this Loan 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 the Borrowers shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by the Borrowers or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. SECTION 8.3 PERFORMANCE BY LENDER. (A) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if any of the Borrowers shall fail to perform, or cause to be performed, any material covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents (subject to applicable notice and cure periods), Lender may perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of the Borrowers including making protective advances on behalf of any Borrower, or, in its sole discretion, causing the obligations of any of the Borrowers to be satisfied with the proceeds of any Reserve. In such event, the Borrowers shall, at the request of Lender, promptly pay to Lender, or reimburse, as applicable, any of the Reserves, any actual amount reasonably expended or disbursed by Lender in such performance or attempted performance, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate (including reimbursement of any applicable Reserves), from the date of such expenditure or disbursement, 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 applicable Note and shall be secured by all of the Collateral securing the applicable Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that Lender shall not have any liability or responsibility for the performance of any obligation of the Borrowers under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, and it is further expressly agreed that no such performance by Lender shall cure any Event of Default hereunder. 89 (B) Lender may cease or suspend any and all performance required of Lender under the Loan Documents upon and at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default. SECTION 8.4 EVIDENCE OF COMPLIANCE. Promptly following request by Lender, each Borrower shall provide such documents and instruments as shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender to evidence compliance with any material provision of the Loan Documents applicable to the Borrowers.

ARTICLE X RESTRUCTURING LOAN, SECONDARY MARKET TRANSACTIONS SECTION 10.1 SECONDARY MARKET TRANSACTIONS GENERALLY. Lender shall have the right to engage in one or more Secondary Market Transactions with respect to the Loan, and to structure and restructure all or any part of the Loan, including without limitation in multiple tranches, as a wraparound loan, or for inclusion in a REMIC or other Securitization. Without limitation, Lender shall have the right, at Lender's sole cost (other than each Borrower's internal costs and expenses and the costs and expenses of the Borrowers' counsel), to cause the Note and any Mortgage to be split into a first and a second mortgage loan, or into one or more loans evidenced by multiple notes and secured by multiple mortgages and/or by ownership interests in any of the Borrowers in whatever proportion Lender determines, and thereafter to engage in Secondary Market Transactions with respect to all or any part of the indebtedness and loan documentation. Each of the Borrower Parties acknowledge that it is the intention of the parties that all or a portion of the Loan will be securitized and that all or a portion of the Loan will be rated by one or more Rating Agencies. Each of the Borrower Parties further acknowledge that additional structural modifications may be required to satisfy issues raised by any Rating Agencies. As used herein, "SECONDARY MARKET TRANSACTION" means any of (i) the sale, assignment, or other transfer of all or any portion of the Obligations or the Loan Documents or any interest therein to one or more investors, (ii) the sale, assignment, or other transfer of one or more participation interests in the Obligations or Loan Documents to one or more investors, (iii) the transfer or deposit of all or any portion of the Obligations or Loan Documents to or with one or more trusts or other entities which may sell certificates or other instruments to investors evidencing an ownership interest in the assets of such trust or the right to receive income or proceeds therefrom or (iv) any other Securitization backed in whole or in part by the Loan or any interest therein. SECTION 10.2 COOPERATION; LIMITATIONS. The Borrower Parties shall use all reasonable efforts and cooperate reasonably and in good faith with Lender in effecting any such restructuring or Secondary Market Transactions at Lender's sole cost (other than, with respect to the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction only (or if the Loan shall be hereafter split into multiple loans, the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction with respect to each of such loans), the Borrowers' internal costs and expenses and the costs and expenses of the Borrower Parties' counsel). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Article X, it is acknowledged and agreed that in no event shall Lender be responsible for payment of any Borrower Party's (or its Affiliate's) internal costs and expenses in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction. 94 Such cooperation shall include without limitation, executing and delivering such reasonable amendments to the Loan Documents and the organizational documents of each Borrower as Lender or any Interested Party (as defined below) may request, provided however that, no such amendment shall modify (i) the weighted average interest rate payable under the Note (or notes); (ii) the stated maturity date of the Note, (iii) the amortization of the principal amount of the Note, (iv) any other material economic terms of the Obligations, (v) the non-recourse provisions of the Loan or (vi) any provision, the effect of which would increase the Borrowers' obligations or decrease the Borrowers' rights under the Loan Documents except to a de minimis extent. The Borrower Parties shall not be required to provide additional collateral to effect any such restructuring or Secondary Market Transaction after the Closing Date. The Borrower Parties shall not be required to pay any third party (other than, which respect to the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction only (or if the Loan shall be hereafter split into multiple loans, the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction with respect to each of such loans), the costs and expenses of the Borrowers' counsel) costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any such Secondary Market Transaction unless otherwise expressly payable by the Borrower Parties under this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents. SECTION 10.3 INFORMATION. The Borrower Parties, at Lender's cost and expense (other than, with respect to the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction only (or if the Loan shall be hereafter split into multiple loans, the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction with respect to each of such loans), the Borrowers' internal costs and expenses and the costs and expenses of the Borrower Parties' counsel), shall provide such access to personnel and such information and documents relating to the Borrower Parties, Manager, the Properties and Collateral and the business and operations of all of the foregoing and such opinions of counsel (including nonconsolidation opinions) as any Rating Agency may request or as Lender or any other Interested Party may reasonably request in connection with any such Secondary Market Transaction including, without limitation, updated financial information, appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews (Phase I's and, if appropriate, Phase II's), mold inspection, property condition reports and other due diligence investigations together with appropriate verification of such updated information and reports through letters of auditors and consultants and, as of the closing date of the Secondary Market Transaction, updated representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents and such additional representations and warranties as any Rating Agency may request or any purchaser, transferee, assignee, trustee, servicer or potential investor (the Rating Agencies and all of the foregoing parties, collectively, "INTERESTED PARTIES") may reasonably request, to the extent such updated representations and warranties are true. On or prior to the date of closing of any Secondary Market Transaction, the Borrowers, at Lender's cost and expense (other than with respect to the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction only (or if the Loan shall be hereafter split into multiple loans, the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction with respect to each of such loans), the Borrowers' internal costs and expenses and the costs and expenses of the Borrowers' counsel), shall, if required by any Rating Agency or reasonably required by Lender, provide revisions or "bringdowns" to any opinions delivered at Closing (including nonconsolidation opinions), or if required by the Rating Agencies, new versions of such opinions, which opinions shall be consistent in substance with the opinions covered by the original opinions, addressed to Lender, any trustee under any Securitization backed in whole or in part by the Loan, any Rating Agency 95 that assigns a rating to any securities in connection therewith and any investor purchasing securities therein. Lender shall be permitted to share all such information with the investment banking firms, Rating Agencies, accounting firms, law firms, other third party advisory firms, potential investors, servicers and other service providers and other parties directly involved in any proposed Secondary Market Transaction. The Borrowers understand that any such information may be incorporated into any offering circular, prospectus, prospectus supplement, private placement memorandum or other offering documents for any Secondary Market Transaction. Lender and the Rating Agencies shall be entitled to rely upon such information. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrowers and Guarantor shall provide in connection with each (i) preliminary and final private placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, prepared in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction (the documents referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the "DISCLOSURE DOCUMENTS"), an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers and Guarantor certifying that the Borrowers and Guarantor have examined such Disclosure Documents specified by Lender and, that the sections of such Disclosure Document describing the Borrowers, Guarantor, the Properties and Manager do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading. The Borrowers and Guarantor shall each indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Lender, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("MERRILL LYNCH"), and their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, agents and each Person, if any, who controls Lender, Merrill Lynch or any such Affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and any other placement agent or underwriter with respect to any Securitization or Secondary Market Transaction from and against any losses, claims, damages and liabilities that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Disclosure Document as to the Borrowers, Guarantor, Manager and the Properties or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such information or necessary in order to make the statements in such information not materially misleading; provided, however, the Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify Merrill Lynch for any liabilities arising out of untrue statements or omissions that were identified to Lender in writing or are set forth in any third party report not prepared by the Borrowers or their Affiliates unless such reports are caused to be incorrect or misleading based upon information provided by the Borrowers or their Affiliates. Lender may publicize the existence of the Obligations in connection with Lender's Secondary Market Transaction activities or otherwise. SECTION 10.4 ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS. In any Secondary Market Transaction, Lender may transfer its obligations under this Loan Agreement and under the other Loan Documents (or may transfer the portion thereof corresponding to the transferred portion of the Obligations), and thereafter Lender shall be relieved of any obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents arising after the date of said transfer with respect to the transferred interest. Each transferee investor shall become a "Lender" hereunder. 96 ARTICLE XI RESTRICTIONS ON LIENS, TRANSFERS; ASSUMABILITY; RELEASE OF PROPERTIES SECTION 11.1 RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND ENCUMBRANCE.

Waiving Party (i) shall have no right of subrogation with respect to the obligations of the other Borrower Parties; (ii) waives any right to enforce any remedy that Lender now has or may 104 hereafter have against any of the other Borrower Parties any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of such obligations or any other person; and (iii) waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to Lender to secure the payment or performance of all or any part of such obligations or any other liability of the other parties to Lender.

This Promissory Note may be referred to herein as the "NOTE," and the loan evidenced hereby may be referred to herein as the "LOAN." Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given thereto in the Loan Agreement. PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. Borrowers shall make payments of principal and interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note in accordance with the terms and provisions of Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of the Loan Agreement. The entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including interest through the end of the Interest Accrual Period then in effect) and all other amounts due hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the "DEBT") if not sooner paid (and unless Borrowers shall extend the term of the Loan for the First Extension Term, the Second Extension Term, or all Extension Terms) shall be due and payable on June 30, 2006 (the "SCHEDULED MATURITY DATE"). Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.5(B) of the Loan Agreement, Borrowers may extend the term of the Loan for the Extension Terms. The Scheduled Maturity Date, as the same may be extended for the First Extension Term, the Second Extension Term, or the Third Extension Term (subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.5(B) of the Loan Agreement), or such other date on which the final payment of the Debt becomes due hereunder or under the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, whether at such stated maturity date, by acceleration, or otherwise, shall be referred to herein as the "MATURITY DATE". Interest on the principal sum of this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year, and shall be charged for the actual number of days elapsed during any month or other accrual period. SECURITY; LOAN DOCUMENTS. This Note is being executed and delivered pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified or restated from time to time, the "LOAN AGREEMENT"), among Borrowers and Lender, to which reference is hereby made for the terms and conditions governing this Note, including the terms and conditions under which this Note may be prepaid or its maturity accelerated. This Note is secured by, among other things, those certain Mortgages/Deeds of Trust/Deeds to Secure Debt, Assignments of Leases and Rents and Security Agreements, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified or restated from time to time, collectively, the "INSTRUMENT"), executed by the Borrower named therein, encumbering such Borrower's fee simple or leasehold interest in and to certain real property as more particularly described therein (collectively, the "PROPERTY"). This Note, the Loan Agreement, the Instrument, and all other documents or instruments given by Borrowers or any one of them or any guarantor and accepted by Lender for purposes of evidencing, securing, perfecting, or guaranteeing the indebtedness evidenced by this Note may be referred to as the "LOAN DOCUMENTS." PREPAYMENT; PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATION. Borrowers shall have no right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part except as expressly provided in Section 2.6 of the Loan Agreement. EVENTS OF DEFAULT; ACCELERATION. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, at the option of Lender and without notice, the entire principal amount and all interest accrued and outstanding hereunder and all other amounts outstanding under any of the Loan Documents shall at once become due and payable, and Lender may exercise any and all of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents or pursuant to applicable law. Lender may so accelerate such obligations and exercise such remedies at any time after the occurrence of any Event of Default, regardless of any prior forbearance. LATE CHARGES; DEFAULT INTEREST. If an Event of Default relating to non-payment of any principal, interest or other sums due under this Note or under any of the other Loan Documents shall occur, then Borrowers shall pay to Lender, in addition to all sums otherwise due and payable, a late charge in an amount equal to five percent (5.0%) of such principal, interest or other sums due hereunder or under any other Loan Document (or, in the case of a partial payment, the unpaid portion thereof), such late charge to be immediately due and payable without demand by Lender. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and in any event from and after the Maturity Date of the Loan, the outstanding principal balance of this Note and all other Obligations shall bear interest until paid in full at a rate per annum (the "DEFAULT RATE") equal to the sum of (i) four percent (4.0%) and (ii) the Interest Rate otherwise applicable under this Note. Borrowers agree that such late charge and Default Rate of interest are reasonable and do not constitute a penalty. INTEREST LAWS. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Note, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrowers 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 ("EXCESS INTEREST"). If any Excess Interest is provided for or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been provided for in this Note, the Loan Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, then in such event: (i) the provisions of this subsection shall govern and control; (ii) Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any Excess 2 Interest; (iii) any Excess Interest that Lender may have received hereunder shall be, at Lender's option, (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; (iv) the interest rate(s) 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 Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction; and (v) Borrowers shall not have any action against Lender for any damages arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest. 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 this 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 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 Interest Rate, then the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall apply. CERTAIN RIGHTS AND WAIVERS. From time to time, without affecting the obligation of Borrowers or their successors or assigns to pay the outstanding principal balance of this Note, interest thereon and other amounts due hereunder and to observe the covenants contained herein, in the Loan Agreement, the Instrument or in any other Loan Document, without affecting the guaranty of any person or entity for payment of the outstanding principal balance of this Note, without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of any Borrower or its successors or assigns or any guarantors or indemnitor, and without liability on the part of Lender, Lender may, at its option, extend the time for payment of the outstanding principal balance of this Note or any part thereof, reduce the payments thereon, release anyone liable for payment of all or a portion of said indebtedness, accept a renewal of this Note, modify the terms and time of payment of said outstanding principal balance, join in any extension or subordination agreement, release any security given herefor, take or release other or additional security, and agree in writing with the undersigned to modify the rate of interest or period of amortization of this Note or change the amount of the monthly installments payable hereunder.

Lender shall be released of any obligations accruing after the date of such assignment or transfer to the extent that the same are so assigned or transferred, and the rights and obligations of "LENDER" hereunder shall become the rights and obligations of the transferee holder. Lender agrees to provide Borrowers with notice of any such assignment; provided, however, that no Borrower's consent shall be required in connection with any such assignment and no failure or delay by Lender in delivering such notice shall limit the effectiveness of such assignment.

This provision shall not limit any rights of Lender under the Guaranty of Recourse Obligations or the Environmental Indemnity, each dated as of the date hereof. ATTORNEYS' FEES, COSTS OF COLLECTION.

This Promissory Note may be referred to herein as the "NOTE," and the loan evidenced hereby may be referred to herein as the "LOAN." Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given thereto in the Loan Agreement. PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. Borrowers shall make payments of principal and interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note in accordance with the terms and provisions of Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of the Loan Agreement. The entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including interest through the end of the Interest Accrual Period then in effect) and all other amounts due hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the "DEBT") if not sooner paid (and unless Borrowers shall extend the term of the Loan for the First Extension Term, the Second Extension Term, or all Extension Terms) shall be due and payable on June 30, 2006 (the "SCHEDULED MATURITY DATE"). Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.5(B) of the Loan Agreement, Borrowers may extend the term of the Loan for the Extension Terms. The Scheduled Maturity Date, as the same may be extended for the First Extension Term, the Second Extension Term, or the Third Extension Term (subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.5(B) of the Loan Agreement), or such other date on which the final payment of the Debt becomes due hereunder or under the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, whether at such stated maturity date, by acceleration, or otherwise, shall be referred to herein as the "MATURITY DATE". Interest on the principal sum of this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year, and shall be charged for the actual number of days elapsed during any month or other accrual period. SECURITY; LOAN DOCUMENTS. This Note is being executed and delivered pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified or restated from time to time, the "LOAN AGREEMENT"), among Borrowers and Lender, to which reference is hereby made for the terms and conditions governing this Note, including the terms and conditions under which this Note may be prepaid or its maturity accelerated. This Note is secured by, among other things, those certain Mortgages/Deeds of Trust/Deeds to Secure Debt, Assignments of Leases and Rents and Security Agreements, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified or restated from time to time, collectively, the "INSTRUMENT"), executed by the Borrower named therein, encumbering such Borrower's fee simple or leasehold interest in and to certain real property as more particularly described therein (collectively, the "PROPERTY"). This Note, the Loan Agreement, the Instrument, and all other documents or instruments given by Borrowers or any one of them or any guarantor and accepted by Lender for purposes of evidencing, securing, perfecting, or guaranteeing the indebtedness evidenced by this Note may be referred to as the "LOAN DOCUMENTS." PREPAYMENT; PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATION. Borrowers shall have no right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part except as expressly provided in Section 2.6 of the Loan Agreement. EVENTS OF DEFAULT; ACCELERATION. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, at the option of Lender and without notice, the entire principal amount and all interest accrued and outstanding hereunder and all other amounts outstanding under any of the Loan Documents shall at once become due and payable, and Lender may exercise any and all of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents or pursuant to applicable law. Lender may so accelerate such obligations and exercise such remedies at any time after the occurrence of any Event of Default, regardless of any prior forbearance. LATE CHARGES; DEFAULT INTEREST. If an Event of Default relating to non-payment of any principal, interest or other sums due under this Note or under any of the other Loan Documents shall occur, then Borrowers shall pay to Lender, in addition to all sums otherwise due and payable, a late charge in an amount equal to five percent (5.0%) of such principal, interest or other sums due hereunder or under any other Loan Document (or, in the case of a partial payment, the unpaid portion thereof), such late charge to be immediately due and payable without demand by Lender. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and in any event from and after the Maturity Date of the Loan, the outstanding principal balance of this Note and all other Obligations shall bear interest until paid in full at a rate per annum (the "DEFAULT RATE") equal to the sum of (i) four percent (4.0%) and (ii) the Interest Rate otherwise applicable under this Note. Borrowers agree that such late charge and Default Rate of interest are reasonable and do not constitute a penalty. INTEREST LAWS. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Note, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrowers 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 ("EXCESS INTEREST"). If any Excess Interest is provided for or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been provided for in this Note, the Loan Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, then in such event: (i) the provisions of this subsection shall govern and control; (ii) Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any Excess 2 Interest; (iii) any Excess Interest that Lender may have received hereunder shall be, at Lender's option, (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; (iv) the interest rate(s) 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 Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction; and (v) Borrowers shall not have any action against Lender for any damages arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest. 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 this 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 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 Interest Rate, then the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall apply. CERTAIN RIGHTS AND WAIVERS. From time to time, without affecting the obligation of Borrowers or their successors or assigns to pay the outstanding principal balance of this Note, interest thereon and other amounts due hereunder and to observe the covenants contained herein, in the Loan Agreement, the Instrument or in any other Loan Document, without affecting the guaranty of any person or entity for payment of the outstanding principal balance of this Note, without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of any Borrower or its successors or assigns or any guarantors or indemnitor, and without liability on the part of Lender, Lender may, at its option, extend the time for payment of the outstanding principal balance of this Note or any part thereof, reduce the payments thereon, release anyone liable for payment of all or a portion of said indebtedness, accept a renewal of this Note, modify the terms and time of payment of said outstanding principal balance, join in any extension or subordination agreement, release any security given herefor, take or release other or additional security, and agree in writing with the undersigned to modify the rate of interest or period of amortization of this Note or change the amount of the monthly installments payable hereunder. Presentment, notice of dishonor, and protest are hereby waived by Borrowers and all makers, sureties, guarantors and endorsers hereof. This Note shall be binding upon Borrowers and their successors and assigns. EACH BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS NOTE, THE INSTRUMENTS, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, ANY OTHER AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF EITHER PARTY. 3 ASSIGNMENT AND TRANSFER OF NOTE. Lender shall have the right to assign or transfer, in whole or in part (including the right to grant participation interests in) any or all of its obligations under this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Instrument and any or all of the other Loan Documents, subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement. Lender shall be released of any obligations accruing after the date of such assignment or transfer to the extent that the same are so assigned or transferred, and the rights and obligations of "LENDER" hereunder shall become the rights and obligations of the transferee holder. Lender agrees to provide Borrowers with notice of any such assignment; provided, however, that no Borrower's consent shall be required in connection with any such assignment and no failure or delay by Lender in delivering such notice shall limit the effectiveness of such assignment. LIMITATION ON RECOURSE. The obligations of Borrowers hereunder are subject to limitations on recourse as provided in Article XII of the Loan Agreement. This provision shall not limit any rights of Lender under the Guaranty of Recourse Obligations or the Environmental Indemnity, each dated as of the date hereof. ATTORNEYS' FEES, COSTS OF COLLECTION. Borrowers shall pay to Lender on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred by Lender in collecting the indebtedness arising hereunder or under any other Loan Documents or secured thereby or otherwise exercising any rights or remedies of Lender hereunder or thereunder or at law or in equity or enforcing the obligations of any parties hereto or thereto, or as a consequence of any breach or default by any Borrower or any guarantor hereunder or thereunder, or otherwise as a consequence of any right evidenced or secured by this Note or the Loan Documents. Without limitation, such costs and expenses to be reimbursed by Borrowers shall include reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in any bankruptcy case or proceeding and in any appeal. APPLICABLE LAW. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and performed in the State of New York and any applicable laws of the United States of America. TIME OF ESSENCE. Subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, time shall be of the essence as to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Note. If the due date of any payment due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall fall on a day other than a Business Day, Borrowers shall be required to make such payment on the next succeeding Business Day. JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS. The obligations and liabilities of Borrowers hereunder shall be joint and several.

This Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by Guarantor. (b) ENFORCEABILITY. This Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, or application of general principles of equity in any legal proceeding. (c) NO VIOLATION. The execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of its obligations under this Guaranty do not violate any law, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental body, agency or other instrumentality applicable to Guarantor, or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any mortgage, lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the assets of Guarantor pursuant to the terms of any mortgage, indenture, agreement or instrument to which Guarantor is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound.

None of the aforesaid financial statements or any certificate or statement furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Guarantor in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and none of the representations and warranties in this Guaranty contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein or herein not materially misleading.

SECTION 4. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Guarantor hereby agrees for the benefit of Lender that Guarantor will deliver to Lender each of the financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Loan Agreement. SECTION 5. INTENTIONALLY DELETED. SECTION 6. UNCONDITIONAL CHARACTER OF OBLIGATIONS OF GUARANTOR. (a) The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability, in whole or in part, of the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Deeds of Trust or the other Loan Documents or any provision thereof, or the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of the obligations of Borrowers under the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Deeds of Trust or any other Loan Documents or Guarantor under this Guaranty, or any setoff, counterclaim, and irrespective of any other circumstances which might otherwise limit recourse against Guarantor by Lender or constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety. Lender may enforce the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty by a proceeding at law, in equity or otherwise, independent of any loan foreclosure or similar proceeding or any deficiency action against Borrowers or any other Person at any time, either before or after an action against the Properties or any of them or any part thereof, Borrowers or any other Person. THIS GUARANTY IS A GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE AND NOT MERELY A GUARANTY OF COLLECTION. Guarantor waives diligence, notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, filing of claims with any court, any proceeding to enforce any provision of the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Deeds of Trust or any other Loan Documents, against Guarantor, Borrowers or any other Person, any right to require a proceeding first against Borrowers or any other Person, or to exhaust any security (including, without limitation, the Properties or any of them or any part thereof) for the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of Borrowers or any other Person, or any protest, presentment, notice of default (except as may be expressly required under the Loan Documents) or other notice or demand whatsoever, and Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees that Guarantor shall not be discharged of its obligations hereunder. (b) The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty, and the rights of Lender to enforce the same by proceedings, whether by action at law, suit in equity or otherwise, shall not be in any way affected by any of the following: 3 (i) any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, receivership, conservatorship, winding up or other similar proceeding involving or affecting any Borrower, any Property or any part thereof, Guarantor or any other Person; (ii) any failure by Lender or any other Person, whether or not without fault on its part, to perform or comply with any of the terms of the Loan Agreement, or any other Loan Documents, or any document or instrument relating thereto; (iii) except (A) with respect to activities occurring after the date of a Permitted Assumption or, (B) activities relating to a Released Property after the date of a Release with respect thereto, the sale, transfer or conveyance of any Property or any interest therein to any Person, whether now or hereafter having or acquiring an interest in any Property or any interest therein and whether or not pursuant to any foreclosure, trustee sale or similar proceeding against any Borrower or any Property or any interest therein; (iv) the conveyance to Lender, any Affiliate of Lender or Lender's nominee of any Property or any interest therein by a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure; (v) the release of any Borrower or any other Person from the performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents by operation of law or otherwise; (vi) the release in whole or in part of any collateral for any or all Guaranteed Obligations or for the Loan or any portion thereof; or (vii) the exercise by Mezzanine Lender of any remedies made available to Mezzanine Lender pursuant to the terms of the Mezzanine Loan Documents, including, without limitation, foreclosure or similar remedies under any pledge agreement encumbering Mezzanine Borrower's interest in any General Partner, any Member, and/or any Borrower except with respect to actions taken by the Mezzanine Lender following the Mezzanine Lender succeeding to the interests of the Mezzanine Borrowers in and to the Borrowers. (c) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably waives all defenses in an action brought by Lender to enforce this Guaranty based on claims of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise and all setoffs, reductions, or impairments, whether arising hereunder or otherwise. (d) Lender may deal with Borrowers and Affiliates of Borrowers in the same manner and as freely as if this Guaranty did not exist and shall be entitled, among other things, to grant Borrowers or any other Person such extension or extensions of time to perform any act or acts as may be deemed advisable by Lender, at any time and from time to time, without terminating, affecting or impairing the validity of this Guaranty or the obligations of Guarantor hereunder. (e) No compromise, alteration, amendment, modification, extension, renewal, release or other change of, or waiver, consent, delay, omission, failure to act or other action with 4 respect to, any liability or obligation under or with respect to, or of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of, the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Deeds of Trust or the other Loan Documents or any amendment, modification or other change of any legal requirement shall in any way alter, impair or affect any of the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, and Guarantor agrees that if any Loan Documents are modified with Lender's consent, the Guaranteed Obligations shall automatically be deemed modified to include such modifications. (f) Lender may proceed to protect and enforce any or all of its rights under this Guaranty by suit in equity or action at law, whether for the specific performance of any covenants or agreements contained in this Guaranty or otherwise, or to take any action authorized or permitted under applicable law, and shall be entitled to require and enforce the performance of all acts and things required to be performed hereunder by Guarantor. Each and every remedy of Lender shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. (g) No waiver shall be deemed to have been made by Lender of any rights hereunder unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender, and any such waiver shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific matter involved and shall in no way impair the rights of Lender or the obligations of Guarantor to Lender in any other respect or at any other time. (h) At the option of Lender, Guarantor may be joined in any action or proceeding commenced by Lender against Borrowers in connection with or based upon the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Deeds of Trust or any other Loan Documents and recovery may be had against Guarantor in such action or proceeding or in any independent action or proceeding against Guarantor to the extent of Guarantor's liability hereunder, without any requirement that Lender first assert, prosecute or exhaust any remedy or claim against Borrowers or any other Person, or any security for the obligations of Borrowers or any other Person. (i) Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment is made by Borrowers or Guarantor to Lender and such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Lender (as determined by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion) upon insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, receivership, conservatorship, winding up or other similar proceeding involving or affecting any Borrower or Guarantor, all as though such payment had not been made. (j) In the event that Guarantor shall advance or become obligated to pay any sums under this Guaranty or in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or in the event that for any reason whatsoever any Borrower or any subsequent owner of any Property or any part thereof is now, or shall hereafter become, indebted to Guarantor, Guarantor agrees that (i) the amount of such sums and of such indebtedness and all interest thereon shall at all times be subordinate as to the lien, the time of payment and in all other respects to all sums, including principal and interest and other amounts, at any time owed to Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or receive payment thereof until all principal, interest and other sums due pursuant to the Loan Documents have been paid in full. Nothing herein contained is intended or shall be construed to give Guarantor any right of subrogation in or under the Loan Documents or any right to participate in any way therein, or in the right, title or interest of Lender 5 in or to any collateral for the Loan, notwithstanding any payments made by Guarantor under this Guaranty, until the actual and irrevocable receipt by Lender of payment in full of all principal, interest and other sums due with respect to the Loan or otherwise payable under the Loan Documents. If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when any such sums due and owing to Lender shall not have been fully paid, such amount shall be paid by Guarantor to Lender for credit and application against such sums due and owing to Lender. The foregoing shall not prohibit Borrowers from using the proceeds of the Loan for any permitted use under the Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, the making of distributions to Guarantor. (k) Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall survive a foreclosure, delivery of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the exercise of any power of sale or similar proceeding involving any Property or any part thereof and the exercise by Lender of any of all of its remedies pursuant to the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall survive for a period of two (2) years following payment in full of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, provided, however, in the event that any Guaranteed Obligations or liabilities of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall have arisen prior to the expiration of such period, then in any such event the foregoing survival period shall not apply and the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder shall survive. SECTION 7. ENTIRE AGREEMENT/AMENDMENTS. THIS INSTRUMENT REPRESENTS THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF.

Nothing in this Section 9, however, shall affect the right of Lender to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the 6 right of Lender to bring any suit, action or proceeding against Guarantor or its property in the courts of any other jurisdictions.

A. Hotel Manager has entered into a certain Management Agreement (each a "CONTRACT" and collectively, the "CONTRACTS") with each Borrower, a true, correct and complete copy of which has been delivered to Lender on or prior to the date hereof and the form of which is attached hereto as EXHIBIT A, providing for the performance by Hotel Manager of certain management obligations more particularly described therein with respect to the management and operation of the property as more particularly described therein (each, a "PROPERTY" and collectively, the "PROPERTIES"). B. This Agreement is being executed in order to amend each Contract, to conditionally assign each Borrower's interest therein to Lender, and to subordinate Hotel Manager's rights to payment under the Contracts to Lender's lien on the Properties in connection with Lender's making a loan to Borrowers and certain other borrowers (collectively, the "MORTGAGE BORROWERS") in the original principal amount of up to One Hundred Ten Million ($110,000,000.00) (the "LOAN") pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of even date herewith (as amended, modified or restated, the "LOAN AGREEMENT"), among Mortgage Borrowers and Lender. The Loan is evidenced by those certain Promissory Notes, dated of even date herewith (as amended, modified or restated, and any replacements or substitutes therefor, by means of multiple notes or otherwise, collectively, the "NOTE"), made by Mortgage Borrowers in favor of Lender and is secured by, among other things, those certain Mortgages/Deeds of Trust/Deeds to Secure Debt, Assignments of Leases and Rents and Security Agreements, dated as of even date herewith (as amended, modified, restated, spread or consolidated, collectively, the "SECURITY INSTRUMENT"), in favor of Lender (the Note, the Security Instrument, the Loan Agreement, this Agreement and all other documents executed in connection with the Loan are collectively referred to as the "LOAN DOCUMENTS"). All capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Loan Agreement, a copy of which Hotel Manager hereby acknowledges having received. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Hotel Manager and Borrowers hereby represent, warrant and covenant to Lender as follows: 1. As additional collateral security for the Loan, each Borrower hereby conditionally transfers, sets over and assigns to Lender all of such Borrower's right, title and interest in and to its Contract, said transfer and assignment to automatically become a present, unconditional assignment, at Lender's option, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default by Borrowers under any of the Loan Documents. 2. Hotel Manager hereby agrees that each Contract, all rights, interests and privileges of Hotel Manager thereunder, and all management fees and other payment obligations of each Borrower to Hotel Manager for services rendered by Hotel Manager for the management and operation of its Property, as such services are more particularly described in such Contract, are hereby subordinated to the Loan Documents and the liens in favor of Lender provided for therein, and to all rights of Lender to receive payment from Borrowers under the Note and all other amounts which may be due Lender under the Loan Documents. Hotel Manager recognizes and agrees that so long as the Note is being paid in strict accordance with its terms and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will by virtue of payments to Hotel Manager occur, Hotel Manager shall, subject to the requirements of the Loan Documents, including any such requirements governing management and application of the Properties and Borrower revenues and cash flow, be entitled to receive payments provided for under such Contract in accordance with the terms thereof. Hotel Manager hereby releases, discharges and waives any and all liens, claims, demands of any kind or nature, against each Property, either now or in the future, arising from the services provided by Hotel Manager for the management and operation of such Property. 3. In the event that such Borrower defaults under the terms of its Contract, Hotel Manager agrees that before exercising any rights or remedies with respect thereto, it will notify Lender of such default. Upon Lender's request, Hotel Manager will continue to perform under such Contract until such time as Lender may elect to terminate such Contract, provided that Hotel Manager shall continue to receive all fees payable to it under such Contract. Subject to the foregoing, Hotel Manager agrees that it shall not be entitled to receive any management fee or other fee, commission or other amount payable under the Contract or otherwise for and during any period of time that any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, provided that Hotel Manager shall not be obligated to return or refund to Lender any management fee or other fee, commission or other amount already received by Hotel Manager prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default, and to which Hotel Manager was entitled under paragraph 2 above. In all events, Hotel Manager recognizes that the maximum amount that shall be due and payable under each Contract is the amount stated therein (such amount being adequate to complete the services called for in such Contract), and that Hotel Manager will not claim any incidental, consequential, or exemplary damages of any nature as a condition to completing its performance under the Contract. 4. In the event that (a) Hotel Manager becomes insolvent, or (b) an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, or (c) any default occurs by Hotel Manager under the Management Agreement beyond the expiration of any notice and cure periods, or (d) any other event occurs which, under the terms of the Loan Documents, entitles Lender to direct Borrower to replace Hotel Manager, Lender may exercise its rights under the Loan Documents and direct any Borrower to terminate its Contract and/or to replace Hotel Manager with a management company chosen by such Borrower and reasonably acceptable to Lender. Upon receiving notice 2 of any such election, Hotel Manager shall abide by such direction to terminate and cooperate with any replacement manager approved or designated by Lender. No termination fee or other compensation shall be due or owing under such Contract as a result of any such termination other than accrued unpaid fees. 5. Without limiting the foregoing, subject to the second sentence of paragraph 3 hereof, in the event Lender forecloses or otherwise succeeds to the rights of any Borrower with respect to any Property, Lender shall have the option upon written notice to Hotel Manager delivered within thirty (30) days following foreclosure by Lender or other acquisition of such Property by Lender, either to (a) terminate the applicable Contract without any obligation or liability of Lender to pay the termination fees, if any; or (b) continue such Contract in effect upon all of the terms and provisions provided in such Contract, except that Lender shall have no obligation to pay any sums due and owing under the Contract as of the date of foreclosure or other acquisition of such Property, and Lender shall have the right after it elects to continue such Contract under subparagraph (b) hereof to terminate such Contract without cause upon thirty (30) days written notice to Hotel Manager without any obligation or liability of Lender to pay the termination fees, if any other than accrued unpaid fees. Hotel Manager acknowledges and agrees with Lender that Lender has not assumed any obligations or liabilities of such Borrower to Hotel Manager under such Contract. If Lender chooses not to continue any Contract following a foreclosure or other acquisition of any Property, the only compensation from Lender for which Hotel Manager shall be entitled under such Contract shall be for the period commencing with the date of such foreclosure or other acquisition and ending upon the subsequent termination by Lender of such Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in the event Lender forecloses or otherwise succeeds to the rights of any Borrower with respect to its Property, upon Lender's request, Hotel Manager agrees to transfer and assign to Lender, or its designee, to the extent possible, all applicable licenses (including, without limitation, each liquor license and beer permit), permits and approvals required for the use, occupancy, operation and maintenance of each of the Property and held by or in the name of Hotel Manager, and, if requested by Lender and permitted by applicable law, enter into such reasonable concession or use agreements with Lender or its designee (subject to appropriate indemnification) as are reasonably necessary to allow Lender or its designee to offer, or cause to be offered, liquor and beer for sale at such Property. For this purpose, Hotel Manager constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the assignment of each of the items referenced in the preceding sentence in the name of Hotel Manager pursuant to this paragraph 5. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. 6. Hotel Manager agrees (a) not to resign as Hotel Manager without ninety (90) days prior written notice to Lender, and (b) not to amend any Contract in any material respect without Lender's prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 7. Hotel Manager acknowledges and agrees that any and all rents, room rents, credit card receipts, other receipts, profits or other sums, including any management fees in excess of the management fees to which Hotel Manager is entitled pursuant to paragraph 2 hereof, and receipts derived from the sale of alcoholic beverages (collectively herein called "PROPERTY PROCEEDS") collected or received by Hotel Manager from the Properties are subject to 3 a security interest of Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, and shall be collected and held by Hotel Manager in trust for the benefit of the applicable Borrower and Lender. Any such Property Proceeds shall be deposited by Hotel Manager within two (2) Business Days of receipt into a deposit account (the "DEPOSIT ACCOUNT") in the name of the Lender and identified in that certain Deposit Account Agreement or other similar agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, modified, replaced or supplemented from time to time, each, a "DEPOSIT ACCOUNT AGREEMENT") among the applicable Borrower, Lender, Hotel Manager and the bank named therein. Upon transfer of any such Property Proceeds to Hotel Manager from the Lock Box Account (as defined in that certain Cash Management Agreement dated as of even date herewith (as amended, restated, modified, replaced or supplemented from time to time, the "CASH MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT"), among Mortgage Borrowers, Lender, Hotel Manager and Wachovia Bank, National Association) as directed by the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Cash Management Agreement, such Property Proceeds shall be used by Hotel Manager for proper expenses and costs of managing and operating the applicable Property as permitted under the applicable Contract, subject, in all instances, to compliance with the Operating Budget and FF&E Budget then in effect and limitations on distributions to Borrowers, each as more fully described in the Loan Agreement. Hotel Manager hereby disclaims any and all interests in the Deposit Account, the Lock Box Account (and any Sub-Accounts thereof), the Property Operating Account and in any of the Property Proceeds. Upon written notice from Lender that an Event of Default has occurred under the Loan Agreement and/or other Loan Documents, Hotel Manager agrees to apply Property Proceeds as instructed by Lender. 8. Hotel Manager represents and warrants that (a) a true, correct and complete copy of each Contract has been delivered to Lender on or prior to the date hereof, the form of which is attached hereto as EXHIBIT A, (b) each Contract is in full force and effect and has not been modified, amended or assigned, except in favor of Lender or its predecessor-in-interest (c) neither Hotel Manager nor, to Hotel Manager's knowledge, any Borrower is in default under any of the terms, covenants or provisions of its Contract, and Hotel Manager knows of no event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a default under any Contract, (d) Hotel Manager has no knowledge of and has not commenced any action or given or received any notice for the purpose of terminating any Contract, and (e) all management fees, commissions and other sums due and payable to the Hotel Manager under each Contract as of the date hereof have been paid in full. 9. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract entered into pursuant to the laws of the State of New York and shall in all respects be governed, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 10. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals or other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered to Lender and Borrowers at the addresses set forth in Section 14.5 of the Loan Agreement and to Hotel Manager at the address set forth on the first page hereof, with a copy to Morris Manning & Martin LLP, Attention: Tom Gryboski, Esq., Fax: (404) 365-9532, each in the manner provided in Section 14.5 of the Loan Agreement. 11.

If any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, this Agreement shall be construed without such provision. If any conflict exists between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Loan Agreement, the terms of the Loan Agreement shall prevail. 13. This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals and each duplicate original shall be deemed to be an original. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute a single agreement. The failure of any party hereto to execute this Agreement, or any counterpart hereof, shall not relieve the other signatories from their obligations hereunder. 14. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used herein shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural and vice versa. 15. This Agreement shall be binding upon Hotel Manager and its heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of and may be enforced by and binding upon Lender and its heirs, successors, legal representatives, substitutes and assigns. Except as permitted under the Loan Agreement, Hotel Manager shall not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, Lender shall have the right to assign this Agreement and the obligations hereunder in connection with any assignment or transfer of all or any portion of the Loan or any interest therein. The parties hereto acknowledge that following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Lender may sell, transfer and assign this Agreement and certain other Loan Documents. All references to "Lender" hereunder shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of Lender and the parties hereto acknowledge that actions taken by Lender hereunder may be taken by Lender's agents and by the agents of the successors and assigns of Lender. 16.

Borrower and Lender have entered into a certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified or restated from time to time, the "LOAN AGREEMENT"), pursuant to which Lender has agreed to make a loan to Borrower as more particularly described below. Capitalized terms used herein and not herein defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Loan Agreement. C. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Lender is making a Loan to Borrower in the aggregate original principal amount of up to One Hundred Ten million and No/100 Dollars ($110,000,000.00) (the "LOAN"). The Loan is evidenced by those certain Promissory Notes, each dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified or restated from time to time, collectively, the "NOTE") and secured by, inter alia, those certain Mortgages/Deeds of Trust/Deeds to Secure Debt, Assignments of Leases and Rents and Security Agreements, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified or restated from time to time, collectively, the "SECURITY INSTRUMENT"), with respect to the Property and Improvements. D. To induce Lender to make the Loan and to secure payment of the Note, together with interest thereon, Borrower has agreed to the execution and delivery of this Assignment. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the sum of Ten Dollars ($10) and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Borrower hereby absolutely grants a first lien on and security interest in, and hereby assigns, transfers and sets over to Lender as additional security for the payment of the Loan and the observance and performance by the Borrower of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Loan Documents on the part of the Borrower to be observed or performed, all of the Borrower's right, title and interest in and to the following: (a) to the extent assignable, all of Borrower's right, title and interest in, to and under the documents, contracts, instruments, plans, permits, licenses (including, without limitation, all liquor licenses and other beverage permits), approvals, applications, trade names and trademarks (including, without limitation, any licenses of, or agreements to license, trade names or trademarks now or hereafter entered into by or on behalf of Borrower or Manager in connection with the operation of the Property), insurance policies, equipment leases, purchase and sale agreements, and other instruments described or existing with respect to the Property or any portion thereof, and any amendments or modifications thereto, any replacements thereof executed during the term of the Note and any other similar documents or instruments with respect to the Property or any portion thereof, now in existence or hereafter executed by Borrower or now in the possession of Borrower or hereafter obtained by Borrower (collectively, the "DOCUMENTS"); (b) to the extent assignable, all rights, powers, privileges, claims, remedies and causes of action of every kind which Borrower now has or may in the future have with respect to or by reason of its interest in the Documents; and (c) to the extent assignable, any and all proceeds (including non-cash proceeds) of any of the foregoing (the items enumerated in the preceding subparagraphs (a) and (b) and in this subparagraph (c) being hereinafter collectively referred to as the "COLLATERAL"). 1. This Assignment is given to secure the obligations of Borrower under and in respect of (a) the Note and (b) the other Loan Documents. The parties intend that this Assignment shall be a present, actual, absolute and unconditional assignment and shall, immediately upon execution, give Lender the right to assume Borrower's interest in the Collateral; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall have a license to utilize the Collateral in accordance with the terms thereof. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under any of the Loan Documents, Borrower's license mentioned in the immediately preceding sentence shall cease and terminate, without the execution of any further instrument or document or the taking of any other act on the part of Lender, and in such event, subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender shall be entitled to utilize the Collateral in Borrower's place and stead, in the name of Borrower or otherwise, and in furtherance thereof, subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender may enter upon the Property and take possession of the Property by its officers, agents or employees, or by a court-appointed receiver, and for the operation, protection, repair and maintenance of the Property, and in connection therewith, Lender shall be entitled to take possession of and use all books of account and financial records of Borrower and its property managers or representatives relating to the Property. 2. Neither this Assignment nor any action or inaction on the part of Lender shall constitute an assumption on the part of Lender of any duty or obligation with respect to the Collateral, nor shall Lender have any duty or obligation to make any payment to be made by Borrower under the Collateral, or to present or file any claim, or to take any other action to -2- collect or enforce the payment of any amounts or the performance of any obligations which have been assigned to Lender or to which it may be entitled hereunder at any time or times. No action or inaction on the part of Lender shall adversely affect or limit in any way the rights of Lender hereunder or under the Collateral, and Lender shall not incur any liability on account of any action taken (or not taken) by it or on its behalf in connection with the Collateral in good faith, whether or not the same shall prove to be improper, inadequate or invalid, in whole or in part. 3. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses and damages which Lender may incur by reason of this Assignment and any actions of Lender taken (or not taken) in connection with the Collateral, and from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Lender by reason of any alleged obligations to be performed or discharged by Lender by reason of this Assignment, and the amount thereof, including reasonable costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, together with interest on such amount, at the Default Rate under the Note from the date such costs, expenses and fees were incurred by Lender to the date of payment thereof to Lender by Borrower, shall be secured hereby and by the other Loan Documents, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender therefor within twenty (20) days after demand, and upon the failure of Borrower to do so, the same shall be deemed an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement for which Lender shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights and remedies provided therein or at law or in equity; provided, however, that in no event shall Borrower be required to indemnify or hold harmless Lender for any liabilities, losses or damages resulting from Lender's bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. It is further understood that this Assignment shall not operate to constitute Lender as a lender in possession of the Property, or to place responsibility for the control, care, management or repair of the Improvements upon Lender, nor shall it operate to make Lender responsible or liable (as to Borrower) for any waste committed with respect to the Property by any party, or for any Hazardous Material placed upon or found at the Property, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Improvements or for any negligence in the management, up-keep, repair or control of the Improvements resulting in loss, injury, death or damage to any contractor, sub-contractor, licensee, invitee, employee, or other party, or for any other thing or matter whatsoever. 4. Borrower shall remain liable to, and shall, perform all of its obligations under and with respect to the Collateral and shall, at its sole cost and expense, enforce the Collateral in the ordinary course of business and comply in all material respects with all of its obligations under the Collateral and all the terms thereof. Borrower shall give Lender prompt notice of any material default by any party under the Collateral. So long as (a) Borrower is acting in the ordinary course of business, and (b) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under any of the Loan Documents, except as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement, Borrower may alter, amend, extend, modify, change, cancel or terminate any of the Collateral, provided that such alterations, amendments, extensions, modifications, changes, cancellations and terminations, taken as a whole, are not likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and, except as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement, Borrower may enter into new Collateral on commercially reasonable terms without Lender's prior written consent in each instance; provided, however, that Borrower shall provide Lender with copies of any such alterations, amendments, extensions, modifications, changes, cancellations, and terminations of -3- the Collateral upon request of Lender unless otherwise required to be provided pursuant to the Loan Agreement. 5. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents, Lender shall be entitled to all of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges available to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code in any jurisdiction whose laws may apply and this Assignment shall constitute a direction to and full authority to any person or entity which has contracted with or is a party to any of the Documents (collectively, the "CONTRACTING PARTIES", and individually, a "CONTRACTING PARTY") to perform its obligations under the Documents for the benefit of Lender without proof to any Contracting Party of the default of Borrower. In addition, Borrower agrees that it shall, promptly upon request of Lender following such Event of Default, execute and deliver notices to the Contracting Parties directing that future performance of such Contracting Parties' obligations be made at the direction of Lender. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each of the Contracting Parties to rely upon and comply with any notice or demand by Lender for the performance by any such Contracting Party of its obligations under any Document for the benefit of Lender, and no Contracting Party shall have any right or duty to inquire whether an Event of Default has actually occurred, and Borrower shall have no right to countermand its authorization herein to the Contracting Parties to perform for the benefit of Lender. 6. Borrower represents and warrants that it has full right, power and authority, pursuant to its certificate of limited partnership and limited partnership agreement, certificate of formation and limited liability company agreement, or certification of incorporation and by-laws, as the case may be, to assign the Collateral assigned hereby and that (a) to Borrower's knowledge, the Documents in existence on the date hereof, are in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms, (b) Borrower has delivered to Lender true and complete copies of the material Documents in existence as of the date hereof, (c) neither the Collateral nor any part thereof has been assigned, pledged or encumbered by Borrower except pursuant to this Assignment and the other Loan Documents, (d) to Borrower's knowledge, no default or event of default which remains uncured beyond the expiration of any applicable grace or notice period which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect has occurred and is continuing hereunder and no Event of Default or Default has occurred, (e) to Borrower's knowledge, none of the Contracting Parties has any defense, set-off or counterclaim against Borrower to the performance of any obligations of such respective Contracting Party, and (f) its principal place of business is its address for notices as set forth in the Loan Agreement 7. Borrower, at its expense, shall execute and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as Lender, from time to time, may reasonably request in order to obtain the full benefits of this Assignment and of the rights and powers herein created and to maintain and perfect the security interest granted in this Assignment. To the extent permitted by law, Borrower irrevocably authorizes Lender, at the expense of Borrower, to file financing statements and continuation statements with respect to the Collateral that Lender deems appropriate or desirable without the signature of Borrower. 8. Wherever there is any conflict or inconsistency between any terms or provisions of this Assignment and the Loan Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement shall control. -4- 9. All rights and remedies herein conferred may be exercised whether or not sale proceedings are pending under the Security Instrument or any other action or proceeding has been commenced under any of the other Loan Documents. Lender shall not be required to resort first to the security of this Assignment before resorting to the security of the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents and Lender may exercise the security hereof or thereof concurrently or independently and in any order of preference. 10. This Assignment shall automatically terminate upon payment in full of all sums due Lender under the Note, the Loan Agreement, and the other Loan Documents, and any other indebtedness secured by the Security Instrument. 11. All notices, demands, consents, or requests which are either required or desired to be given or furnished hereunder shall be sent and shall be effective in the manner set forth in Section 14.5 of the Loan Agreement. 12. The provisions of this Assignment shall be binding upon Borrower, its successors and assigns, and all persons claiming under or through Borrower or any such successor or assign, and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Lender and its successors and assigns.

In the event that, during the continuance of a Cash Trap Event, funds available in a Deposit Account are insufficient to pay the amount of any checks deposited into such Deposit Account which are returned for insufficient or uncollected funds (collectively "CHARGEBACKS"), and such Chargebacks are required to be paid by the applicable Borrower to the applicable Deposit Account Bank pursuant to the terms of the applicable Deposit Account Agreement, provided that no Event of Default exists, funds shall be made available from the Minimum Balance Sub-Account to the applicable Borrower to pay the amount of such Chargebacks due to such Deposit Account Bank (or to reimburse the applicable Borrower for any such amounts as may have been 11 previously paid by or on behalf of such Borrower from other funds on account of any Chargebacks at a time when insufficient amounts were available therefor in the Minimum Balance Sub-Account) promptly after delivery to Lender of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that such amounts are due (or have been paid by or on behalf of the applicable Borrower). In the event that during a Cash Trap Event, as a result of any such disbursement or otherwise, the Minimum Balance Sub-Account shall contain less than the Minimum Balance, the Borrowers shall be required to deposit such deficiency from and at the time of allocations from the Lock Box Account pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(ix) hereof.

(b) If any Borrower or Manager receives any Operating Revenues or other income or revenues from any Property, or any Extraordinary Receipts, then such receipt shall not constitute a Default provided (i) such amounts shall be deemed to be Collateral and shall be held in trust for the benefit, and as the property, of Lender, and (ii) such Borrower or Manager shall deposit such amounts into the applicable Deposit Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt. (c) Without the prior written consent of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, neither the Borrowers nor Manager shall (i) terminate, amend, revoke or modify any Credit Card Receivables Payment Direction Letter in any manner whatsoever, or (ii) direct or cause any Credit Card Company to pay any amount in any manner other than as provided in the related Credit Card Receivables Payment Direction Letter, unless a replacement Credit Card Receivables Payment Direction Letter in form reasonably acceptable to Lender is executed and delivered to Lender by any proposed replacement Credit Card Company prior to termination of the then effective Credit Card Receivables Payment Direction Letter. (d) Each Borrower and Manager shall also cause the proceeds of any Business Interruption Insurance to be deposited directly into the Lock Box Account as same are paid (or, if any such proceeds are received by such Borrower or Manager, same shall be deposited into the Lock Box Account within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof) and such proceeds shall be allocated and disbursed in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof.

All securities or other property underlying any financial assets credited to each Account (other than cash) shall be registered in the name of Agent, indorsed to Agent or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of Agent and in no case will any financial asset credited to any Account be registered in the name of any Borrower, payable to the order of any Borrower or specially indorsed to any Borrower. SECTION 2.5 PERMITTED INVESTMENTS. Sums on deposit in the Accounts may, at the Borrowers' election, be invested in Permitted Investments, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will funds in the Deposit Account be subject to any investment.

The Borrowers shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to income earned from Permitted Investments. The Accounts shall be assigned the federal tax identification number of the applicable Borrowers, which numbers are set forth on the signature page hereof.

Capitalized terms used herein and not herein defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Loan Agreement. C. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Lender is making a Loan to Borrower in the aggregate original principal amount of up to One Hundred Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($110,000,000.00) (the "LOAN"). The Loan is evidenced by those certain Promissory Notes, each dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified, restated or split from time to time, collectively, the "NOTE") and secured by, inter alia, those certain Mortgages/Deeds of Trust/Deeds to Secure Debt, Assignments of Leases and Rents and Security Agreements, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified or restated from time to time, collectively, the "SECURITY INSTRUMENT"), with respect to the Property.

(b) Indemnitors shall promptly notify Lender in writing should any Indemnitor become aware of (i) any release, disposal or discharge of Hazardous Material in violation of applicable Environmental Laws, or other material actual environmental problem or liability, with respect to or affecting the Property, (ii) any lien, action or notice of violation or potential liability affecting the Property or Borrowers and arising under any applicable Environmental Law, (iii) the institution of any investigation, inquiry or proceeding concerning Borrowers or the Property pursuant to any applicable Environmental Law or otherwise relating to Hazardous Material affecting the Property, (iv) the discovery of any occurrence, condition or state of facts which would render any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement incorrect or incomplete in any material respect if made at the time of such discovery, (v) any remedial action taken by Indemnitors or, if actually known by Indemnitor, any other Person in response to any Hazardous Material on, under or at the Property, (vi) the discovery by Indemnitors of any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Property that would reasonably be expected to cause the Property or any part thereof to be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, transferability or use thereof under any applicable Environmental Laws, and (vii) any request for information from any governmental agency that indicates such agency is investigating whether Indemnitors may be potentially responsible for a release, disposal or discharge of Hazardous Material. Borrowers shall promptly notify Lender of any proposed action to be taken pertaining in any way to the Property to commence any operations that could reasonably be expected to subject any Borrower or the Property to additional obligations or liabilities under applicable Environmental Laws, including laws, rules and regulations requiring additional or amended environmental permits or licenses which could reasonably be expected to subject any Borrower to any material obligations or requirements under any applicable Environmental Laws. Borrowers shall, at their own expense, provide copies of such documents or information as Lender may reasonably request in relation to any matters disclosed pursuant to this Section. Indemnitor shall promptly transmit to Lender 5 copies of any and all material citations, orders, notices and all other communications sent or received by any Borrower relating to any of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph. (c) Regardless of the source of contamination, Indemnitors shall, at their own expense, promptly take or cause to be taken and diligently prosecute all actions required by applicable Environmental Laws for the clean-up of the Property and other property affected by contamination in, on, under or at the Property, including, without limitation, all investigative, monitoring, removal, containment and remedial actions in accordance with and required by all applicable Environmental Laws (and in all events in a manner satisfactory to the applicable Governmental Authority and reasonably satisfactory to Lender). Indemnitor shall further pay or cause to be paid, at no expense to any Indemnified Party, all clean-up, administrative and enforcement costs of applicable governmental agencies which may be asserted against the Property. In the event Indemnitors fail to do so, or following an Event of Default, Lender may, at its sole election, cause the Property or other affected property to be freed from any Hazardous Material located thereon at a level in excess of that allowed by applicable Environmental Laws, or otherwise be brought into compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, and any cost incurred in connection therewith shall be included in Costs. Borrowers hereby grant to Lender access to the Property and an irrevocable license to remove any Hazardous Material and to do all things necessary to bring the Property into compliance in all material respects with applicable Environmental Laws. However, Lender shall have no obligation to inspect or clean up any Hazardous Material. Lender shall not be deemed a generator of any Hazardous Material removed from the Property. (d) Upon the request of Lender, at any time (i) after the occurrence of an Event of Default or (ii) Lender has reasonable grounds to believe that (A) Hazardous Material is or has been released, stored or disposed of, or existing, on or around the Property at a level in excess of that allowed by applicable Environmental Laws or (B) the Property may be in material violation of applicable Environmental Laws, Indemnitors shall cause an investigation or audit of the Property to be undertaken by a hydrogeologist or environmental engineer or other appropriate consultant reasonably approved by Lender to determine whether any Hazardous Material is located on, at, beneath, or near the Property and/or whether the Property is in compliance in all material respects with Environmental Laws. The scope of any investigation or audit shall be approved by Lender in Lender's reasonable discretion. If Indemnitors fail to provide reports of such investigation or audit within thirty (30) days after such request, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, order the same. Borrowers hereby grant to Lender and Lender's contractors access to the Property and an irrevocable license to undertake such investigation or audit provided that such investigation is conducted in a manner so as not to unreasonably affect Borrowers' operations at the Property. All reasonable costs of any such investigation or audit shall be included in Costs and shall be paid by Indemnitors in accordance with the terms of paragraph 5(c) hereof. (e) In the event that a Lien is filed against the Property pursuant to any applicable Environmental Law, Indemnitors shall, within ten (10) Business Days from the date that any Borrower receives notice of such Lien (but in any event ten (10) days prior to the date of any contemplated sale pursuant to such Lien), either (i) pay the claim and remove the Lien from the Property, or (ii) furnish, at Indemnitor's option, (A) a bond satisfactory to Lender in the amount of the claim out of which the Lien arises, (B) a cash deposit in the amount of the claim 6 out of which the Lien arises, (C) other security reasonably satisfactory to Lender in an amount sufficient to discharge the claim out of which the Lien arises, or (D) security in a form and amount satisfactory to the applicable Governmental Authority pursuant to a valid consent or other order, and Indemnitors shall promptly arrange for the removal of the Lien. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnitors shall prevent a sale pursuant to any Lien. (f) The amount of Indemnitors' liability hereunder is unrelated to the amount of the Loan and any failure of the Loan to be repaid in full. The enforcement of this Agreement by the Indemnified Parties shall not be construed by Indemnitors as an indirect attempt to recover any Loan deficiency or loss relating to the failure of the Loan to be repaid in full. Indemnitors acknowledge that they may have liability hereunder even if the Loan is repaid in full by reason of a full credit bid at any foreclosure sale under the Security Instrument, and that the amount of Indemnitor's liability hereunder could exceed the entire amount paid by Borrower for the Property. 5. INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES. (a) If any action, proceeding, litigation or claim shall be brought or asserted against any Indemnified Party for any matter which the Indemnified Parties are indemnified hereunder (each, a "CLAIM"), such Indemnified Party shall notify Indemnitors in writing thereof and Indemnitors shall promptly assume the defense thereof, including, without limitation, the employment of counsel selected by the Indemnitor and approved by the Indemnified Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and the negotiation of any settlement. Any failure of such Indemnified Party to notify Indemnitors of such matter shall not impair or reduce the obligations of Indemnitors hereunder. The Indemnified Parties shall have the right, at the reasonable expense of Indemnitors (which expense shall be included in Costs), if an Indemnified Party has reason to believe that its interests are not being adequately represented or diverge from other interests being represented by such counsel, to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof at such Indemnitor's sole cost and expense. In the event Indemnitors shall fail to discharge or undertake to defend any Indemnified Party against any Claim, such failure shall constitute an Event of Default and the Indemnified Party may, at its sole election, defend or settle such Claim. The liability of Indemnitors to such Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement by such Indemnified Party shall be conclusively established by any settlement entered into by the Indemnified Party in good faith. The amount of Indemnitors' liability hereunder shall include the settlement consideration and all other Costs, which shall be paid by the Indemnitors as hereinafter provided. Costs incurred in connection with a Claim shall be reimbursed by Indemnitors without the requirement of waiting for the ultimate outcome of such Claim. (b) Indemnitors shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, settle or compromise any Claim in any manner or consent to the entry of any judgment (i) in which the claimant or plaintiff does not unconditionally release the Indemnified Party from all liability and obligations in respect of such Claim and obtain a dismissal of such Claim with prejudice; or (ii) that may adversely affect the Indemnified Party (as determined in the reasonable discretion of such Indemnified Party) or obligate the Indemnified Party to pay any sum or perform any obligation. 7 (c) Indemnitors shall pay to the applicable Indemnified Party any and all Costs within fifteen (15) days after written notice from such Indemnified Party. All Costs shall be immediately reimbursable to the Indemnified Party or, upon request of the Indemnified Party, paid directly to the party sending a bill or other statement to the Indemnified Party. Any Costs not paid within the aforementioned fifteen (15) day period shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date incurred until the date paid in full. 6. REINSTATEMENT OF OBLIGATIONS. If at any time all or any part of any payment received by an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Indemnitor, then the obligations of Indemnitors hereunder shall, to the extent of such rescinded or returned payment, be reinstated and shall continue as though such previous payment received by the Indemnified Party had never occurred. 7. WAIVERS BY INDEMNITORS. To the extent permitted by law, Indemnitors hereby waive and agree not to assert or take advantage of: (a) Any right to require an Indemnified Party (i) to proceed against Borrower or any other Person, (ii) to proceed against or exhaust any security held by any Indemnified Party at any time or (iii) to pursue any other remedy in such Indemnified Party's power or under any other agreement, in any case, before proceeding against Indemnitors hereunder; (b) Any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other Person or the failure of an Indemnified Party to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other Person; (c) Demand, presentment for payment, protest and notice of protest, demand, dishonor and nonpayment and all other notices except as expressly required in the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, notice of new or additional indebtedness or obligations or of any action or non-action on the part of Borrower, Lender, any endorser or creditor of Borrower or of Indemnitor or of any other Person whomsoever under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (d) Any defense based upon an election of remedies, splitting a cause of action or merger of judgments by any Indemnified Party; (e) Any right or claim of right to cause a marshaling of the assets of Indemnitors; (f) Any principle or provision of law, statutory or otherwise, which is or might be in conflict with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; (g) Any duty on the part of any Indemnified Party to disclose to Indemnitors any facts such Indemnified Party may now or hereafter know about Borrower or the Property, regardless of whether such Indemnified Party (i) has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Indemnitors intend to assume, (ii) has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Indemnitors or (iii) has a reasonable opportunity to 8 communicate such facts to Indemnitors, it being understood and agreed that Indemnitors are fully responsible for being informed of the financial condition of Borrower, the condition of the Property and of all other circumstances bearing on the risk that liability may be incurred by Indemnitors hereunder; (h) Any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any one or more of the Loan Documents; (i) Any lack of commercial reasonableness in dealing with the collateral for the Loan; (j) Any deficiencies in the collateral for the Loan or any deficiency in the ability of Lender to collect or to obtain performance from any Persons now or hereafter liable for the payment and performance of any obligation hereby guaranteed; (k) An assertion or claim that the automatic stay provided by 11 U.S.C. Section 362 (arising upon the voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding of Borrower) or any other stay provided under any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, shall operate or be interpreted to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any of its rights, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, which Lender may have against any Indemnitor or the collateral for the Loan; (l) Any modifications of the Loan Documents or any obligation of Borrower relating to the Loan by operation of law or by action of any court, whether pursuant to the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, or otherwise; (m) Any action, occurrence, event or matter consented to by Indemnitors under Section 8(j) hereof, under any other provision hereof, or otherwise; and (n) the failure of any representation and/or warranties made by Borrower, Indemnitor or any other party to be true, complete or correct when given, or at any time thereafter. Indemnitors covenant and agree that upon the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding by or against any Borrower, neither such Indemnitor shall seek a supplemental stay or otherwise pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 105 or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law, or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any rights of Lender against such Indemnitor by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise. 9 8. GENERAL PROVISIONS. (a) Fully Recourse. Notwithstanding any provision of any other Loan Document to the contrary, all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement are recourse obligations of Indemnitors and not restricted by any limitation on personal liability. (b) Right to Indemnification Not Affected by Knowledge. An Indemnified Party's right to defense, indemnification, payment of Costs or other rights and remedies pursuant to this Agreement shall not be diminished or affected in any way by any investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party or other knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by such Indemnified Party through any means at any time. (c) Reliance. Indemnitors hereby acknowledge that Lender would not make the Loan without being able to rely upon the covenants and obligations of Indemnitors set forth herein. Accordingly, Indemnitors intentionally and unconditionally enter into this Agreement. (d) Obligations Unsecured. Indemnitors acknowledge that even though the representations, warranties and covenants of Indemnitors contained herein may be identical or substantially similar to those of Borrower set forth in the Security Instrument, the obligations of Indemnitors hereunder are independent obligations which are not secured by the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents. The Indemnitors further acknowledge that it is the intent of Lender to create separate obligations of Indemnitors hereunder which can be enforced against Indemnitors without regard to the existence of the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents or the liens or security interests created therein. (e) Survival. This Agreement shall be deemed to be continuing in nature, remain in full force and effect and survive indefinitely, notwithstanding the exercise of any remedy by Lender under the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof, even if, as a part of such remedy, the Loan is paid or satisfied in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the obligations and liabilities of Indemnitors under this Agreement shall survive following payment in full of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents for a period equal to the lesser of (x) five (5) years, or (y) if Borrowers deliver Phase I environmental reports for each of the Properties to Lender, acceptable to Lender in all respects, and which Lender determines in its sole discretion demonstrates that no condition exists which may cause any of the liabilities of Indemnitors to arise after delivery thereof, two (2) years following the delivery of such Phase I environmental reports, provided, however, in the event that (a) any obligations or liabilities of the Indemnitors under this Agreement shall have arisen from any Hazardous Material which existed on, in, under or affecting the Property prior to the expiration of such period or (b) if, prior to payment in full of the Loan, Lender shall have exercised any rights or remedies after an Event of Default or any of the Loan Documents shall have been modified or amended or any provision thereof waived pursuant to any workout or restructuring of the Loan (and if, as a consequence thereof, at any time after the expiration of the survival period specified above, Lender shall be unable to avail itself of any exemption from liability available to lenders under any applicable Environmental Law or shall be required to defend any claim or action relating to any Hazardous Material), then in any such event the foregoing survival period shall not apply and the obligations and liabilities of Indemnitors hereunder shall survive. 10 (f) Subordination; No Recourse Against Lender. Obligor hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter owed to Obligor to all indebtedness of Borrower to Lender. Obligor shall not demand or accept any payment of principal or interest from Borrower, shall not claim any offset or other reduction of Obligor's obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness and shall not take any action to obtain any of the collateral for the Loan. Further, Indemnitors shall not have any right of recourse against any Indemnified Party by reason of any action such Indemnified Party may take or omit to take under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents. (g) Reservation of Rights. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent or in any way diminish or interfere with any rights or remedies, including, without limitation, the right to cost recovery or contribution, which any Indemnified Party may have against either Indemnitor or any other party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (codified at Title 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq.), as it may be amended from time to time ("CERCLA"), or any other applicable Federal, state or local laws, all such rights being hereby expressly reserved. (h) Financial Statements. Each Indemnitor hereby agrees to furnish Lender such financial statements and other information as is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Loan Agreement. (i) Nature of Obligations. The obligations of Indemnitors hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrower under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any default hereunder, a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Indemnitors whether or not Indemnitors are the alter ego of Borrower and whether or not Borrower is joined therein or a separate action or actions are brought against Borrower. Lender's rights hereunder shall not be exhausted until all of the obligations of Indemnitor hereunder have been fully paid and performed. (j) No Limitation on Liability. Indemnitors hereby consent and agree that any of the following may occur from time to time, without notice or consideration to, or consent of, Indemnitors, and the liability of Indemnitors hereunder shall remain unconditional and absolute and shall in no way be impaired or limited by reason thereof: (i) any extension of time for performance required by any of the Loan Documents or otherwise granted by Lender or any extension or renewal of the Note; (ii) any sale, assignment or foreclosure of the Note, the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents or any sale or transfer of the Property, except as set forth in Section 2(b); (iii) any change in the composition of Borrower, including, without limitation, the voluntary or involuntary withdrawal or removal of Indemnitors from any current or future position of ownership, management or control of Borrower; (iv) the release of Borrower or of any other Person from performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents by operation of law, Lender's voluntary act or otherwise; 11 (v) the release or substitution in whole or in part of any security for the Loan; (vi) Lender's failure to record the Security Instrument or to file any financing statement (or Lender's improper recording or filing thereof) or to otherwise perfect, protect, secure or insure any lien or security interest given as security for the Loan; (vii) the modification of the terms of any one or more of the Loan Documents; (viii) subject to Section 2(b) hereof, the exercise by Mezzanine Lender of any remedies made available to Mezzanine Lender pursuant to the terms of the Mezzanine Loan Documents, including, without limitation, foreclosure or similar remedies under any pledge agreement encumbering Mezzanine Borrower's interest in General Partner, Member or any Borrower; or (ix) the taking or failure to take any action of any type whatsoever. No such action which Lender shall take or fail to take in connection with the Loan Documents or any collateral for the Loan, nor any course of dealing with Borrower or any other Person, shall limit, impair or release Indemnitor's obligations hereunder, affect this Agreement in any way or afford Indemnitors any recourse against any Indemnified Party. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to require any Indemnified Party to take or refrain from taking any action referred to herein. (k) Representations. Each Indemnitor represents and warrants that there is no bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against it. (l) Professionals' Fees. In the event it is necessary for any Indemnified Party to retain the services of an attorney or any other consultants in order to enforce this Agreement, or any portion hereof, Indemnitors agree to pay to such Indemnified Party any and all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and consultants' fees and disbursements, incurred by such Indemnified Party as a result thereof and all such amounts shall be included in Costs. (m) Successive Actions. A separate right of action hereunder shall arise each time an Indemnified Party acquires knowledge of any matter indemnified or guaranteed by Indemnitors hereunder. Separate and successive actions may be brought hereunder to enforce any of the provisions hereof at any time and from time to time and no action hereunder shall preclude any subsequent action. (n) No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of Lender in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and no course of dealing between Borrower and Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive 12 of any rights or remedies provided by law. The giving of notice to or demand on Borrower which notice or demand is not required hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall not entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights, remedies, powers or privileges of Lender in any circumstances not requiring notice or demand. (o) Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder or under the Note shall be given in the manner set forth in Section 14.5 of the Loan Agreement, to Lender and Borrower at such party's address set forth in Section 14.5 of the Loan Agreement and to each Obligor at its address set forth above, or such other address as Indemnitors or Lender shall hereafter specify by not less than ten (10) days prior written notice as provided herein; provided, however, that notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the contrary, such notice of change of address shall be deemed given only upon actual receipt thereof. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed addresses of which no notice was given as herein required shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice, demand, statement, request or consent. (p) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the applicable laws of the United States of America. Indemnitors hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of New York and in any state in which the Property is located in connection with any proceeding out of or relating to this Agreement. (q) Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, this Agreement shall be construed without such provision. (r) Amendments. The terms of this Agreement, together with the terms of the other Loan Documents, constitute the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations between Indemnitors and Lender with respect to the obligations contained herein. This Agreement, and any provisions hereof, may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act on the part of Borrower or Lender, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought. (s) Parties Bound; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns and legal representatives; provided, however, that except as provided in the Loan Agreement or herein, Indemnitors may not, without the prior written consent of Lender, assign any of their rights, powers, duties or obligations hereunder. (t) Headings; Construction of Documents. The headings and captions of various sections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be construed as defining or limiting, in any way, the scope or intent of the provisions hereof. Indemnitors acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that neither 13 this Agreement nor the other Loan Documents shall be subject to the principle of construing the meaning against the Person who drafted same. (u) Recitals. The recital and introductory paragraphs hereof are a part hereof, form a basis for this Agreement and shall be considered prima facie evidence of the facts and documents referred to therein. (v) Counterparts. To facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as may be convenient or required. It shall not be necessary that the signature or acknowledgment of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature of all Persons required to bind any party, or the acknowledgment of such party, appear on each counterpart. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single instrument. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, and the respective acknowledgments of, each of the parties hereto. Any signature or acknowledgment page to any counterpart may be detached from such counterpart without impairing the legal effect of the signatures or acknowledgments thereon and thereafter attached to another counterpart identical thereto except having attached to it additional signature or acknowledgment pages. (w) Cumulative Rights. The rights of Lender under this Agreement shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Lender shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled, subject to the terms of this Agreement, to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded by law. (x) Waiver of Counterclaim and Right to Trial by Jury. Indemnitors hereby waive the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents, and Lender and Indemnitors waive trial by jury in any action or proceeding brought by either party hereto against the other or in any counterclaim any other party may be permitted to assert hereunder or which may be asserted by any party or its agents, against Indemnitors, or in any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement, the debt or the obligations contained herein. (y) Singular and Plural; Joint and Several Liability. (i) If there is more than one entity comprising Obligor, all references to Obligor herein shall be to Obligor, or any one or more of them. All references to Indemnitors herein shall be to Indemnitors or any one or more of them. All obligations and liabilities of Indemnitors hereunder are in addition to, not in lieu of and are independent of: (A) all obligations of Borrower under any other Loan Document, including the Note and the Loan Agreement; and (B) any obligation of Obligor under any other Loan Document to which Obligor is a party. (ii) All obligations of Indemnitors hereunder shall be joint and several.

(B) NOTE. On the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Lender a Promissory Note, dated of even date herewith (as amended, modified or restated, and any replacement or substitute notes therefor, by means of multiple notes or otherwise, collectively, the "NOTE"), made by the Borrowers to the order of Lender, in the original principal amount of $63,801,000. (C) USE OF PROCEEDS. The proceeds of the Loan funded at Closing shall be used to (i) refinance existing indebtedness; (ii) pay all recording fees and taxes, title insurance premiums, the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including reasonable legal fees and expenses of counsel to Lender, and other costs and expenses approved by Lender (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld) related to the Loan; (iii) establish the Reserves required hereunder; and (iv) provide for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, payment of transaction costs and expenses incurred by the Borrowers. The remaining proceeds of the Loan, if any, shall be disbursed to or as otherwise directed by the Borrowers. SECTION 2.2 INTEREST. (A) RATE OF INTEREST. The outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to six and five hundred seventy-seven one thousandths percent (6.577%) (the "INTEREST RATE"). (B) DEFAULT RATE. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and in any event from and after the Maturity Date of the Loan and until the Loan and all other Obligations are satisfied in full, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and all other Obligations shall bear interest until paid in full at a rate per annum that is four percent (4%) in excess of the Interest Rate otherwise applicable under this Loan Agreement and the Note (the "DEFAULT RATE"). (C) COMPUTATION OF INTEREST. Interest on the Loan and all other Obligations owing to Lender shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year, and shall be charged for the actual number of days elapsed during any month or other accrual period. Interest shall be payable in arrears. (D) INTEREST LAWS. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Borrowers 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 ("EXCESS INTEREST"). If any Excess Interest is provided for or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been provided for in this Loan Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, then in such event: (1) the provisions of this 24 subsection shall govern and control; (2) the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any Excess Interest; (3) any Excess Interest that Lender may have received hereunder shall be, at Lender's option, (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(s) 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 Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction; and (5) the Borrowers shall not have any action against Lender for any damages arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest. 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 this Loan Agreement, 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 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 Interest Rate, then the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall apply. (E) LATE CHARGES. If an Event of Default regarding non-payment of principal, interest or other sums due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall occur, then the Borrowers shall pay to Lender, in addition to all sums otherwise due and payable, a late fee in an amount equal to five percent (5.0%) of such principal, interest or other sums due hereunder or under any other Loan Document, such late charge to be immediately due and payable without demand by Lender. SECTION 2.3 RESERVED. SECTION 2.4 PAYMENTS. (A) PAYMENTS OF INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL. The Borrowers shall make payments of interest and principal on the Note as follows: (i) The Borrowers shall make a payment to Lender of interest only on the Closing Date for the period from and including the Closing Date through and including the last day of the calendar month in which the Closing occurs; and (ii) Commencing on August 1, 2004 and on each Payment Date thereafter through but not including the Maturity Date, the Borrowers shall make a payment of interest on the Loan for the prior calendar month, and in addition shall make a payment of principal on the Loan in an amount equal to the Scheduled Mortgage Principal Payment for such Payment Date. (B) DATE AND TIME OF PAYMENT. The Borrowers 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 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on such 25 day, or (ii) on the next succeeding Business Day after such funds are received by Lender if such receipt occurs after 2:00 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; APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. The Borrowers promise 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 Loan Agreement. All payments by the Borrowers on the Loan shall be made without deduction, defense, set off or counterclaim and in immediately available funds delivered to Lender by wire transfer to such accounts at such banks as Lender may from time to time designate. Prior to an Event of Default, each payment shall be applied first to pay late charges and the charges and expenses of Lender, Servicer and any special servicer as provided hereunder, second to accrued and unpaid interest, and the balance to principal. Prior to an Event of Default, to the extent sufficient funds are contained in the Lock Box Account, or an Account or Sub-Account thereof, to make the required monthly payments to the applicable Reserves and Sub-Account on such Payment Date, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have satisfied their obligations to make such payments. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, payments shall be applied to the Obligations in such order as Lender shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion. SECTION 2.5 MATURITY. 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 hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. SECTION 2.6 PREPAYMENT. (A) LIMITATION ON PREPAYMENT; PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATION DUE ON ACCELERATION. The Borrowers shall have no right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part at any time, except as expressly set forth in this provision. On and after May 1, 2009, the Borrowers may prepay the Loan in whole, but not in part, without payment of Prepayment Consideration, provided that (i) the Borrowers shall provide to Lender not less than fifteen (15) days prior written notice of such prepayment, (ii) together with such prepayment the Borrowers also shall pay all accrued and unpaid interest and all other Obligations then due and owing, (iii) if such prepayment occurs on any day other than a Payment Date, then together therewith the Borrowers also shall pay to Lender the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount being prepaid from and including the date of such prepayment to the end of such calendar month. (B) PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATION DUE. If any prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan shall occur prior to May 1 2009, on account of acceleration of the Loan (whether or not due to an Event of Default), or otherwise, then except only as expressly provided in this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the Borrowers shall pay the Prepayment Consideration on the amount prepaid to Lender together with such prepayment, as liquidated damages and compensation for costs incurred, and in addition to all other amounts due and owing to Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Prepayment Consideration will be due as to a prepayment of the Loan in connection with (i) application of insurance or condemnation proceeds required by Lender pursuant to this Loan Agreement or the Mortgages in the absence of 26 an Event of Default, (ii) Scheduled Mortgage Principal Payments. The foregoing designation of any amount of Prepayment Consideration in this Agreement shall not create a right to prepay at any time or in any circumstances where this Agreement does not expressly state that such a right exists. (C) DEFINITIONS. The following terms shall have the meanings indicated: "PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATION" shall mean an amount equal to the greater of (i) one percent (1%) of the Loan balance at the time of prepayment and (ii) the Yield Maintenance Amount. "YIELD MAINTENANCE AMOUNT" shall mean the positive difference, if any, between (i) the present value on the date of prepayment (by acceleration or otherwise) of all future installments of principal and interest which the Borrowers would otherwise be required to pay under the Note from the date of such prepayment until the Maturity Date absent such prepayment, including the unpaid principal amount which might otherwise be due upon the Maturity Date absent such prepayment, with such present value being determined by the use of a discount rate equal to the yield to maturity (adjusted to a "Mortgage Equivalent Basis" pursuant to the standards and practices of the Securities Industry Association), on the date of such prepayment of the United States Treasury Security having the term to maturity closest to what otherwise would have been the remaining term hereof absent such prepayment and (ii) the principal balance of the Loan on the date of such prepayment. SECTION 2.7 OUTSTANDING BALANCE. The balance on Lender's books and records shall be presumptive evidence (absent manifest error) of the amounts owing to Lender by the Borrowers; provided that any failure to record any transaction affecting such balance or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect the Borrowers' obligation to pay the Obligations. SECTION 2.8 TAXES. Any and all payments or reimbursements made hereunder or under the Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all taxes, withholding taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto arising out of or in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (all such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and all liabilities with respect thereto (excluding taxes imposed on net income in accordance with the following sentence) herein "TAX LIABILITIES"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall not be liable for taxes imposed on the net income of Lender by the jurisdiction under the laws of which Lender is organized or doing business or any political subdivision thereof and taxes imposed on its net income by the jurisdiction of Lender's applicable lending office or any political subdivision thereof. If the Borrowers shall be required by law to deduct any such Tax Liabilities (or amounts in estimation or reimbursement for the same) from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, then the sum payable hereunder shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions, Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made. SECTION 2.9 REASONABLENESS OF CHARGES. The Borrower Parties agree 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 27 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 Prepayment Consideration are reasonable, taking into consideration the circumstances known to the parties at this time, and (iii) such Default Rate and late charges and Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with enforcement of Lender's rights under the Loan Documents shall be due and payable as provided herein, and (iv) such interest at the Default Rate, late charges, Prepayment Consideration, and the obligation to pay Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees and other enforcement costs do not, individually or collectively, constitute a penalty. SECTION 2.10 RESERVED. SECTION 2.11 SERVICING/SPECIAL SERVICING. Lender may change the Servicer from time to time without the consent of the Borrowers, on prior written notice to the Borrowers. The Borrowers expressly acknowledge and agree that the Servicer's fees (the "SERVICING FEE"), which shall in no event exceed five one-hundredths of one percent (.05%) per annum on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, payable in monthly installments, and if the Loan becomes a specially serviced loan, any fees of the special servicer, shall be payable by the Borrowers and shall constitute a portion of the Obligations; provided, however, that at no time shall the Borrowers be liable for Servicing Fees or special servicing fees in excess of those fees charged to Lender by the Servicer or any special servicer. SECTION 2.12 CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION; CONTRIBUTION; RELEASE OF CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION. (A) Until repayment of the Indebtedness and the Crossed Indebtedness and satisfaction of all obligations under this Agreement and the Crossed Loan Agreement, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees (subject to Lender's election(s) at Lender's sole discretion from time to time pursuant to Section 2.12(G) below): (i) that the Properties shall secure not only the Loan but also the Crossed Loans, and that the Liens of the Loan Documents shall constitute Liens securing not only the Loan but also the Crossed Loans; (ii) that the Crossed Properties shall secure the Loan as well as the Crossed Loan(s) secured by such Crossed Properties; and (iii) that Lender would not make the Loan to the Borrowers or the loans constituting the Crossed Loans unless the Borrowers and the Crossed Borrowers granted liens on the Properties and, in addition, the Crossed Properties of the Crossed Borrowers to secure the payment of the Loan and the Crossed Loans. (B) Until the date that all of the Loan and the Crossed Loans shall have been paid and satisfied in full, the Borrowers (i) shall have no right of subrogation with respect to the Crossed Loans and (ii) waive any right to enforce any remedy which Lender now has or may hereafter have against the Crossed Borrowers, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Crossed Loans or any other individual or entity, and the Borrowers waive any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to Lender to secure the payment or performance of all or any part of the Crossed Loans or any other liability of any of the Crossed Borrowers to Lender. Should any Borrower have the right, notwithstanding the foregoing, to exercise its subrogation rights, each Borrower hereby expressly and irrevocably (1) subordinates any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off that such Borrower may have to the payment in full in cash of the Loan 28 and the Crossed Loans and (2) waives any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor until the Loan and the Crossed Loans are paid in full in cash. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit Lender and shall not limit or otherwise affect any Borrower's liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Loan Agreement or the Crossed Loan Documents. (C) Each Borrower agrees that any and all claims of such Borrower against any of the Crossed Borrowers or any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Crossed Loans (collectively, the "CROSSED OBLIGORS") with respect to any obligations, liabilities or indebtedness now or hereafter owing by the Crossed Obligors, or any of them, to such Borrower, or otherwise existing or claimed to be owed or to exist on the part of any of the Crossed Obligors, or against any of their respective properties (collectively, the "CROSSED PARTY OBLIGATIONS") shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment, in full and in cash, of all the Loan and the Crossed Loans. Notwithstanding any right of any Borrower to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment from any of the Crossed Obligors, all rights, liens and security interests of each Borrower, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in and to any assets of any of the Crossed Obligors shall be and are subordinated to the rights of Lender in those assets under the Loan Documents, the Crossed Loan Documents or otherwise, and no Borrower shall, until the date that all of the Loan and the Crossed Loans shall have been paid and satisfied in full, (i) assert, collect, sue upon, or enforce all or any part of the Crossed Party Obligations; (ii) commence or join with any other creditors of any of the Crossed Obligors in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or insolvency proceeding against any of the Crossed Obligors; (iii) take, accept, ask for, sue for, receive, set off or demand any payments upon the Crossed Party Obligations; or (iv) take, accept, ask for, sue for, receive, demand or allow to be created liens, security interests, mortgages, deeds of trust or pledges of or with respect to any of the assets of any of the Crossed Obligors in favor of or for the benefit of such Borrower. (D) If all or any part of the assets of any of the Crossed Obligors, or the proceeds thereof, are subject to any distribution, division or application to the creditors of such Crossed Obligor, whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding, or if the business of any such Crossed Obligor is dissolved or if substantially all of the assets of any such Crossed Obligor are sold, then, and in any such event (such events being herein referred to as an "CROSSED OBLIGOR INSOLVENCY EVENT"), any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable to any Borrower upon or with respect to any Crossed Party Obligations shall be paid or delivered directly to the Lender for application on the Loan and the Crossed Loans, due or to become due, until such Loan and Crossed Loans shall have first been fully paid and satisfied (in cash). Should any payment, distribution, security or instrument or proceeds thereof be received by any Borrower upon or with respect to the Crossed Party Obligations after any Crossed Obligor Insolvency Event and prior to the payment in full and satisfaction of all of the Loan and Crossed Loans, such Borrower shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of Lender and shall forthwith deliver the same to Lender in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of such Borrower where necessary), for application to any of the Loan or Crossed Loans, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by such Borrower as the property of Lender. If such Borrower fails to make 29 any such endorsement or assignment to Lender, Lender or any of its officers or employees is irrevocably authorized to make the same. Each Borrower agrees that until the Loan and Crossed Loans have been paid in full (in cash) and satisfied, no Borrower will assign or transfer to any individual or entity (other than Lender) any claim such Borrower has or may have against any Crossed Obligor. (E) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(G), to the extent that any collection upon any of the Loan or the Crossed Loans is made by Lender from one of the Crossed Borrowers or the Crossed Properties or other assets of the Crossed Borrowers (a "CROSSED LOANS COLLECTION") which, taking into account all other Crossed Loans Collections then previously or concurrently made by such Crossed Borrower, exceeds the amount which otherwise would have been collected from such Crossed Borrower if each Borrower and each Crossed Borrower had paid the portion of the Loan and Crossed Loans satisfied by such Crossed Loans Collection in the same proportion as such Crossed Borrower's Allocable Amount (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Crossed Loans Collection) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each Borrower and each Crossed Borrower as determined immediately prior to the making of such Crossed Loans Collection, then, following payment in full in cash of the entire Loan and Crossed Loans, such Crossed Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each Borrower and each of the other Crossed Borrowers for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Crossed Loans Collection. As of any date of determination, the "ALLOCABLE AMOUNT" of any Borrower or any Crossed Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim which could then be recovered from such Borrower or Crossed Borrower under the Loan Documents and Crossed Loan Documents without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law. The foregoing provision shall be for the benefit of each of the Crossed Borrowers and Lender, but shall be subject to modification as provided in Section 2.12(G) below and to amendment by agreement of the Borrowers and Lender, in each case without necessity of any agreement, acknowledgment or approval of any Crossed Borrower or any notice to any Crossed Borrower. Section 2.12(E) of each of the Crossed Loan Agreements contains provisions similar to this Section 2.12(E) for the benefit of Lender and (subject to the terms thereof) the Crossed Borrowers. This Section 2.12(E) and Section 2.12(E) of each of the Crossed Loan Agreements are intended only to define the relative rights of the Borrowers and Crossed Borrowers, and nothing set forth in this Section 2.12(E) or in Section 2.12(E) of each of the Crossed Loan Agreements is intended to or shall impair the liens and security interests of the Loan Documents and the Crossed Loan Documents or the obligations of the Borrowers and the Crossed Borrowers thereunder. Each Borrower acknowledges that the rights of contribution and indemnification under this Section 2.12(E) and under Section 2.12(E) of the Crossed Loan Agreements constitute assets of the Borrowers or Crossed Borrowers to which such contribution and indemnification is owing, and any such right of contribution and indemnification owing to any Borrower under Section 2.12(E) of any of the Crossed Loan Agreements shall constitute additional Crossed Party Obligations for all purposes under this Section 2.12. (F) Each Borrower hereby consents and agrees to each of the following, and agrees that such Borrower's obligations under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and 30 the Liens created under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents securing the Loan and the Crossed Loans shall not be released, diminished, impaired, reduced or adversely affected by any of the following, and waives any common law, equitable, statutory or other rights (including without limitation rights to notice) that such Borrower might otherwise have as a result of or in connection with any of the following: (i) Any renewal, extension, increase, modification, alteration or rearrangement of all or any part of the Crossed Loans, the Crossed Loan Documents, or other document, instrument, contract or understanding between the Crossed Borrowers and Lender, or any other parties, pertaining to the Crossed Loans or any failure of Lender to notify such Borrower of any such action. (ii) Any adjustment, indulgence, forbearance or compromise that might be granted or given by Lender to the Crossed Borrowers. (iii) The insolvency, bankruptcy, arrangement, adjustment, composition, liquidation, disability, dissolution or lack of power of any of the Crossed Borrowers or any other party at any time liable for the payment of all or part of the Crossed Loans; or any dissolution of any of the Crossed Borrowers, or any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of any of the Crossed Borrowers, or any changes in the shareholders, partners or members of any of the Crossed Borrowers; or any reorganization of any of the Crossed Borrowers. (iv) The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of all or any part of the Crossed Loans, or any document or agreement executed in connection therewith, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation the fact that (A) the Crossed Loans, or any part thereof, exceeds the amount permitted by law, (B) the act of creating the Crossed Loans or any part thereof is ultra vires, (C) the officers or representatives executing the Crossed Loan Documents or otherwise creating the Crossed Loans acted in excess of their authority, (D) the Crossed Loans violate applicable usury laws, (E) the Crossed Borrowers have valid defenses, claims or offsets (whether at law, in equity or by agreement) which render the Crossed Loans wholly or partially uncollectible from the Crossed Borrowers, (F) the creation, performance or repayment of the Crossed Loans (or the execution, delivery and performance of any document or instrument representing part of the Crossed Loans or executed in connection with the Crossed Loans, or given to secure the repayment of the Crossed Loans) is illegal, uncollectible or unenforceable, or (G) any of the Crossed Loan Documents have been forged or otherwise are irregular or not genuine or authentic, it being agreed that each Borrower shall remain liable hereon regardless of whether the Crossed Borrowers or any other person be found not liable on the Crossed Loans or any part thereof for any reason. (v) Any full or partial release of the liability of the Crossed Borrowers on the Crossed Loans, or any part thereof, or of any co-guarantors, or any other person or entity now or hereafter liable, whether directly or indirectly, jointly, severally, or jointly and severally, to pay, perform, guarantee or assure the payment of the Crossed Loans, or any part thereof, it being recognized, acknowledged and agreed by each Borrower that such Borrower has not been induced to enter into this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the basis of a contemplation, belief, understanding or agreement that other parties will be liable to pay or 31 perform the Loan or such Borrower's obligations under the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or that Lender will look to other parties to pay or perform the Crossed Loans. (vi) The taking or accepting of any other security, collateral or guaranty, or other assurance of payment, for all or any part of the Crossed Loans. (vii) Any release, surrender, exchange, subordination, deterioration, waste, loss or impairment (including without limitation negligent, willful, unreasonable or unjustifiable impairment) of any collateral, property or security, at any time existing in connection with, or assuring or securing payment of, all or any part of the Crossed Loans. (viii) The failure of or refusal of Lender or any other party acting on behalf of Lender to exercise diligence or reasonable care in the preservation, protection, enforcement, sale or other handling or treatment of all or any part of such collateral, property or security, including but not limited to any neglect, delay, omission, failure or refusal of Lender (A) to take or prosecute any action for the collection of any of the Crossed Loans, (B) to foreclose, or initiate any action to foreclose, or, once commenced, prosecute to completion any action to foreclose upon any security therefor, or (C) to take or prosecute any action in connection with any instrument or agreement evidencing or securing all or any part of the Crossed Loans. (ix) The fact that any collateral, security, security interest or lien contemplated or intended to be given, created or granted as security for the repayment of the Crossed Loans, or any part thereof, shall not be properly perfected or created, or shall prove to be unenforceable or subordinate to any other security interest or lien, it being recognized and agreed by each Borrower that it is not entering into this Loan Agreement in reliance on, or in contemplation of the benefits of, the validity, enforceability, collectibility or value of any of the collateral for the Crossed Loans. (x) Any payment by any of the Crossed Borrowers to Lender is held to constitute a preference under bankruptcy laws, or for any reason Lender is required to refund such payment or pay such amount to any of the Crossed Borrowers or someone else. (xi) Any other action taken or omitted to be taken with respect to the Crossed Loan Documents, the Crossed Loans, or the security and collateral therefor. (G) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Loan Agreement, Lender may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, from time to time (one or more times) deliver written notice to the Borrowers stating that this Loan Agreement, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents shall no longer secure one or more (at Lender's sole election) of the Crossed Loans (each a "CROSS RELEASE NOTICE"), whereupon (i) this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall no longer secure any of the Crossed Loans for which a Cross Release Notice is given (any such Crossed Loan, an "EXCLUDED LOAN", and, collectively, the "EXCLUDED LOAN(S)"; each Crossed Borrower which is the borrower with respect to an Excluded Loan is herein referred to as an "EXCLUDED BORROWER", and the Crossed Loan Agreement, Crossed Mortgages, Cross Side Agreement and other Crossed Loan Documents executed and delivered by the Excluded Borrowers with respect to any Excluded Loan are herein referred to as the "EXCLUDED LOAN AGREEMENT", "EXCLUDED MORTGAGES", "EXCLUDED SIDE AGREEMENT" and 32 "EXCLUDED LOAN DOCUMENTS", respectively, and each Crossed Property encumbered by the Excluded Loan Documents is herein referred to as an "EXCLUDED PROPERTY"), (ii) each Cross Guaranty of the Loan executed by each Excluded Borrower, together with each Cross Guaranty of an Excluded Loan executed by the Borrowers (herein collectively referred to as the "EXCLUDED GUARANTIES") shall be deemed automatically terminated and of no further force or effect, (iii) each reference herein and in the other Loan Documents to the "Crossed Loans" shall be deemed to exclude the Excluded Loans, (iv) each reference herein and in the other Loan Documents to the "Crossed Loan Agreements", "Crossed Mortgages", "Crossed Loan Documents", "Crossed Properties", "Cross Side Agreements" and "Cross Guaranties" shall be deemed to exclude the Excluded Loan Agreement, the Excluded Mortgages, the Excluded Loan Documents, the Excluded Property, the Excluded Side Agreements and the Excluded Guaranties, respectively, (v) each reference herein and in the other Loan Documents to the "Crossed Borrowers" and the "Crossed Obligors" shall be deemed to exclude each Excluded Borrower, (vi) the provisions of Section 2.12(E) of this Loan Agreement shall not apply to any Crossed Loans Collection from any Excluded Borrower or its Excluded Property and the Borrowers shall have no obligation or liability on account thereof; and (vii) Borrowers shall no longer be beneficiaries of the covenants and agreements set forth in Section 2.12(E) of any Excluded Loan Agreement, and the Borrowers shall have no rights or claims on account of any contribution or indemnification obligations of any Excluded Borrower under Section 2.12(E) of any Excluded Loan Agreement.

(H) In the event the Loan is repaid or defeased in full in accordance with the provisions of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then provided no Event of Default then exists hereunder, and no "Event of Default" (as defined in any of the Other Crossed Loan Agreements) exists under any of the Other Crossed Loan Documents, the cross collateralization and cross default of the Loan and Loan Documents with the Other Crossed Loans shall terminate and all the Other Crossed Loans shall be deemed Excluded Loans with respect to the Loan and the provisions of Section 2.12(G) above shall become automatically applicable with respect thereto.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a carrier which does not meet the foregoing ratings requirement shall nevertheless be deemed acceptable hereunder provided that such carrier is reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Borrowers shall obtain and deliver to Lender a Rating Confirmation with respect to such carrier 55 from each of the Rating Agencies, provided, however, that: (a) if any insurance coverage required under this Section 5.4 is maintained by a syndicate of insurers, the preceding ratings requirements shall be deemed satisfied (without any required Rating Confirmation) as long as at least seventy five percent (75%) of the coverage (if there are four or fewer members of the syndicate) or at least sixty percent (60%) of the coverage (if there are five or more members of the syndicate) is maintained with carriers meeting the claims-paying ability ratings requirements by S&P and Moody's (if applicable) set forth above and all carriers in such syndicate have a claims-paying ability rating by S&P of not less than "BBB" and by Moody's of not less than "Baa2" (to the extent rated by Moody's); (b) Lender hereby approves Zurich Insurance Company as the carrier providing the insurance described in clause (ii) above, so long as such carrier maintains a claims paying ability of not less than A- by S&P (and the equivalent from each of the other Rating Agencies to the extent rated thereby) and (c) until the expiration of the current term of the applicable policies, Lender hereby approves Landmark American as the carrier providing the insurance described in clauses (i), (iv) and (vi) above (covering losses over the first $25,000,000 of coverage), so long as thereafter such carrier or any other carrier providing the above coverages maintains a claims paying ability of not less than A by S&P (and the equivalent from each of the other Rating Agencies to the extent rated thereby). All Insurance Policies under Sections 5.4 (i), (iv), (vi), (vii), (x), (xi) and (xii) hereof shall contain a Non-Contributory Standard mortgagee clause and a mortgagee's Loss Payable Endorsement (Form 438 BFU NS), or their equivalents (such endorsements shall entitle Lender to collect any and all proceeds payable under all such insurance, with the insurance company waiving any claim or defense against Lender for premium payment, deductible, self-insured retention or claims reporting provisions). All Insurance Policies shall provide that the coverage shall not be modified without (30) days' advance written notice to Lender and shall provide that no claims shall be paid thereunder to a Person other than Lender without ten (10) days' advance written notice to Lender. The Borrowers may obtain any insurance required by this Section through blanket policies; provided, however, that such blanket policies shall separately set forth the amount of insurance in force with respect to the Properties (which shall not be reduced by reason of events occurring on property other than the Properties) and shall afford all the protections to Lender as are required under this Section. Except as may be expressly provided above, all policies of insurance required hereunder shall contain no annual aggregate limit of liability, other than with respect to liability insurance. If a blanket policy is issued, a certified copy of said policy shall be furnished, together with a certificate indicating that Lender is an additional insured (and, if applicable, loss payee) under such policy in the designated amount. The Borrowers will deliver duplicate originals of all Insurance Policies, premium prepaid through the current expiration dates of such Insurance Policies, to Lender and, in case of Insurance Policies about to expire, the Borrowers will deliver duplicate originals of replacement policies satisfying the requirements hereof to Lender not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of expiration; provided, however, if such replacement policy is not yet available, the Borrowers shall provide Lender with an insurance certificate executed by the insurer or its authorized agent evidencing that the insurance required hereunder is being maintained under such policy, which certificate shall be acceptable to Lender on an interim basis until the duplicate original of the policy is available. The Borrowers shall furnish Lender receipts for the payment of premiums on such insurance policies or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender in the event that such premiums have not been paid by Lender pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The requirements of this Section 5.4 shall apply to any separate policies of insurance taken out by the Borrowers 56 concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with the Insurance Policies. Losses shall be payable to Lender notwithstanding (1) any act, failure to act or negligence of the Borrowers or their agents or employees, Lender or any other insured party which might, absent such agreement, result in a forfeiture or all or part of such insurance payment, other than the willful misconduct of Lender knowingly in violation of the conditions of such policy, (2) the occupation or use of the Properties or any part thereof for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms of such policy, (3) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken pursuant to this Loan Agreement or (4) any change in title to or ownership of the Properties or any part thereof. The property insurance and the boiler and machinery insurance described in Sections 5.4(i) and (x) hereof shall include "underground hazards" coverage; "time element" coverage by which Lender shall be assured payment of all amounts due under the Note, this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents; "extra expense" (i.e., soft costs), clean-up, transit and ordinary payroll coverage; and "expediting expense" coverage to facilitate rapid repair or restoration of the Properties. The Insurance Policies shall not contain any deductible in excess of $250,000. SECTION 5.5 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPERTIES; CASUALTY. (A) The Borrowers will operate and maintain the Properties as is necessary to maintain hotel standards at least as high as those that currently apply to each Property, subject to ordinary wear and tear, as reasonably determined by the Borrowers, and otherwise in compliance with the standards under the applicable Franchise Agreement and shall maintain or cause to be maintained in good repair, working order and condition all material property used in the business of each Borrower, including the applicable Property, and will make or cause to be made all appropriate repairs, renewals and replacements thereof. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Borrower will operate and maintain its Property substantially in accordance with the applicable Operating Budget and the CapEx/FF&E Budget. All work required or permitted under this Loan Agreement shall be performed in a workmanlike manner and in compliance with all applicable laws. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers may, without Lender's consent, perform alterations to the Properties which do not constitute a Material Alteration. The Borrowers shall not perform any Material Alteration without Lender's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, withhold consent to any Material Alteration which is likely to result in a decrease of Net Operating Income (taking into consideration all Material Alterations being undertaken at the Properties at such time) by 5% or more below that which was in effect prior to the commencement of the first such Material Alteration being undertaken at the time of determination for a period of sixty (60) days or longer; provided, further, however, the Borrowers may perform a Material Alteration without Lender's consent if (i) the delay caused by obtaining Lender's prior consent may result in injury or death at, or further destruction or deterioration of, the applicable Property, (ii) such Material Alteration is necessary to prevent the likelihood of injury or death at, or further destruction or deterioration of, the applicable Property, and (iii) the Borrowers deliver notice to Lender within two (2) Business Days of commencement of such Material Alteration together with such supporting documentation as Lender may require with respect to such Material Alteration. Lender may, as a condition to giving its consent to a Material Alteration, require that the Borrowers deliver to Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the Borrowers have cash available for 57 payment of the cost of such Material Alteration or, if the Borrowers fail to deliver such evidence, cash, Dollar Equivalents or a Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to 125% of the cost of such Material Alteration as reasonably estimated by Lender. Cash deposited by the Borrowers with Lender in connection with any Material Alteration pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be held by Lender in a Sub-Account of the Lock Box Account and disbursed to the Borrowers to pay for the cost of such Material Alteration as such work progresses subject to satisfaction of the conditions for disbursement of amounts from the Capital Improvement Reserve under Section 6.5 (including the requirements set forth under Section 6.7). Upon completion of the Material Alteration, the Borrowers shall provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (i) the Material Alteration was constructed in accordance with all material applicable laws and substantially in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Lender (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) all contractors, subcontractors, materialmen and professionals who provided work, materials or services in connection with the Material Alteration have been paid in full and have delivered unconditional releases of lien and (iii) all material licenses necessary for the use, operation and occupancy of the Material Alteration (other than those which depend on the performance of tenant improvement work) have been issued. The Borrowers shall reimburse Lender upon demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees of any architect, engineer or other professional engaged by Lender) incurred by Lender in reviewing plans and specifications or in making any determinations necessary to implement the provisions of this Section 5.5(A). (B) In the event of casualty or loss at any of the Properties, the Borrowers shall give immediate 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 the Property as nearly as possible to the Pre-Existing Condition (a "RESTORATION"). The Borrowers hereby authorize and empower Lender as attorney-in-fact for the Borrowers (jointly with the Borrowers unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), or any of them, to make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise any claim under insurance policies, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from such insurance policies, to collect and receive insurance proceeds, and to deduct therefrom Lender's expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds; provided however, that nothing contained in this Section shall require Lender to incur any expense or take any action hereunder. The Borrowers further authorize Lender, at Lender's option, (i) to hold the balance of such proceeds to be used to reimburse the Borrowers for the cost of Restoration of any of the Properties or (ii) subject to Subsection 5.5(C), to apply such proceeds to payment of the Obligations whether or not then due, in any order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a casualty where the loss does not exceed the Restoration Threshold, the Borrowers may settle and adjust such claim; provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (b) such adjustment is carried out in a commercially reasonable and timely manner. (C) Lender shall not exercise Lender's option to apply insurance proceeds to payment of the Obligations if all of the following conditions are met: (i) no Event of Default then exists; (ii) Lender reasonably determines that there will be sufficient funds to complete the Restoration of the Property to at least substantially the Pre-Existing Condition and to timely make all payments due under the Loan Documents during the Restoration of the affected Property; (iii) Lender reasonably determines that the Net Operating Income of the Properties (including rental income or business interruption insurance) will be sufficient to pay principal and interest 58 on the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan and Operating Revenues of the Properties, after the Restoration thereof to the Pre-Existing Condition, will be sufficient to meet all Operating Expenses, payments for Reserves and payments of principal and interest under the Note and the Mezzanine Loan; (iv) Lender determines that the Restoration of the affected Property to the Pre-Existing Condition will be completed not later than five (5) months prior to the expiration of any business interruption insurance, but in no event later than six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date; (v) less than fifty percent (50%) of the total floor area of the Improvements has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such fire or other casualty; and (vi) such Property can be restored and repaired substantially to the condition it was in immediately prior to such casualty and in compliance with all applicable zoning, building and other laws and codes (the "PRE-EXISTING CONDITION"). If Lender elects to apply insurance proceeds to payment of the Obligations, such application shall be made on the Payment Date immediately following such election in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement. (D) If Lender elects or is obligated to make the insurance proceeds available for the Restoration of any Property and Lender is holding such proceeds, the Borrowers agree that, if at any time during the Restoration, the cost of completing such Restoration, as reasonably determined by Lender, exceeds the undisbursed insurance proceeds, the Borrowers shall, within ten (10) Business Days following the written demand by Lender, deposit the amount of such excess with Lender, and Lender shall first disburse such deposit to pay for the costs of such Restoration on the same terms and conditions as the insurance proceeds are disbursed. If the Borrowers deposit such excess with Lender and if, after completion of the Restoration, any funds remain from the combination of insurance proceeds and the funds so deposited with Lender by the Borrowers, and if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Lender shall promptly disburse to the Borrowers such remaining funds. (E) Lender may, at Lender's option, condition disbursement of any insurance proceeds on Lender's approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) of plans and specifications of an independent architect licensed in the state where the Property is located and reasonably satisfactory to Lender (the "ARCHITECT"), any and all contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration and the contracts under which they have been engaged, contractor's cost estimates, architect's certificates, waivers of liens, sworn statements of mechanics and materialmen and such other evidence of costs, percentage completion of construction, application of payments, and satisfaction of liens as Lender may reasonably require. Lender shall not be obligated to disburse insurance proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month. If insurance proceeds are applied to the payment of the Obligations and provided no Event of Default exists, any such application of proceeds to principal shall be without any Prepayment Consideration and 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. If Lender elects to apply all of such insurance proceeds toward the repayment of the Obligations, the Borrowers shall (subject to compliance with clauses (A), (B), (D) and (F) of Section 11.4) be entitled to obtain from Lender a Property Release (without representation or warranty) of the applicable Property from the Lien of the Mortgage relating to such Property (in which event the Borrowers shall not be obligated to restore the applicable Property pursuant to Section 5.5(B) above) provided that the Borrowers pay to Lender the amount, if any, by which the Release Price for such Property exceeds the insurance proceeds received by Lender and applied to repayment of the Obligations. If any proceeds are applied to 59 reduce the Obligations under this Section 5.5, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Prepayment Consideration shall be due and payable in connection with such application. Any amount of insurance proceeds remaining in Lender's possession after full and final payment and discharge of all Obligations shall be refunded to, or as directed by, the Borrowers or otherwise paid in accordance with applicable law. If the Property is sold at foreclosure or if Lender acquires title to the Property, Lender shall have all of the right, title and interest of the applicable Borrower in and to any insurance policies and unearned premiums thereon and in and to the proceeds resulting from any damage to such Property prior to such sale or acquisition. (F) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of insurance proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Architect, less a retainage equal to the lesser of (x) the actual retainage required pursuant to the permitted contract, or (y) ten percent (10%) of such costs incurred until the Restoration has been completed. The retainage shall in no event be less than the amount actually held back by the Borrowers from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The retainage shall not be released until the Architect certifies to Lender, or, if no Architect has been retained by Lender, Lender is reasonably satisfied, that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.5 and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental authorities, and Lender receives final lien waivers and such other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the retainage. SECTION 5.6 INSPECTION. Each Borrower shall permit any authorized representatives designated by Lender to visit and inspect during normal business hours its Property and its business, including its financial and accounting records, and to make copies and take extracts therefrom and to discuss its affairs, finances and business with its officers and independent public accountants (with such Borrower's representative(s) present), at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably requested. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall provide advance written notice of at least three (3) Business Days prior to visiting or inspecting any Property or such Borrower's offices. SECTION 5.7 O&M PLAN. The applicable Borrowers shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Lender operations and maintenance programs (the "O&M PLANS") with respect to suspected asbestos, asbestos-containing materials, and/or mold located in certain Properties as set forth on Schedule 6.6 attached hereto, which conditions were disclosed in the applicable Environmental Reports for such Properties. Each applicable Borrower shall at all times implement and carry out the O&M Plan in accordance with its terms. Lender's requirement that the applicable Borrowers develop and comply with the O&M Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver or modification of any covenants or agreements of the Borrowers or Guarantor with respect to Hazardous Material or Environmental Laws as set forth in the Environmental Indemnity. SECTION 5.8 RESERVED. SECTION 5.9 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS. The Borrowers will (A) comply with the requirements of all present and future applicable laws, rules, regulations and 60 orders of any governmental authority in all jurisdictions in which it is now doing business or may hereafter be doing business, other than those laws, rules, regulations and orders the noncompliance with which would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the operation or value of any Property, (B) maintain all licenses and permits now held or hereafter acquired by any Borrower, the loss, suspension, or revocation of which, or failure to renew, could have a material adverse effect on the operation or value of any Property and (C) perform, observe, comply and fulfill all of its material obligations, covenants and conditions contained in any Contractual Obligation. SECTION 5.10 FURTHER ASSURANCES. The Borrowers shall, from time to time, execute and/or deliver such documents, instruments, agreements, financing statements, and perform such acts as Lender at any time may reasonably request to evidence, preserve and/or protect the Collateral at any time securing or intended to secure the Obligations and/or to better and more effectively carry out the purposes of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. SECTION 5.11 PERFORMANCE OF AGREEMENTS AND LEASES. Each Primary Borrower Party shall duly and punctually perform, observe and comply in all material respects with all of the terms, provisions, conditions, covenants and agreements on its part to be performed, observed and complied with (i) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, (ii) under all Material Agreements and Leases and (iii) all other agreements entered into or assumed by such Person in connection with the Properties, and will not suffer or permit any material default or event of default (giving effect to any applicable notice requirements and cure periods) to exist under any of the foregoing except where the failure to perform, observe or comply with any agreement referred to in this clause (iii) would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the operation or value of any Property. SECTION 5.12 LEASES. (A) Without the prior written consent of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, the Borrowers shall not, nor shall the Borrowers authorize Manager or any other Person to, (i) enter into any Material Lease; (ii) cancel or terminate any Material Lease (except to enforce any such Lease after a default thereunder); (iii) amend or modify any Material Lease (except for minor modifications and amendments entered into in the ordinary course of business, consistent with prudent property management practices, not materially and adversely affecting the economic terms of the Material Lease); (iv) approve any assignment, sublease or underlease of any Material Lease (except as required pursuant to the express terms of any existing Lease or Lease hereafter approved by Lender); or (v) cancel or modify any guaranty, or release any security deposit, letter of credit, or other item constituting security pertaining to any Material Lease (except as required pursuant to the express terms of any existing Lease or Lease hereafter approved by Lender). (B) Any request for approval of any Material Lease or assignment, termination, amendment or modification of any Material Lease shall be made to Lender in writing and together with such request the Borrowers shall furnish to Lender: (i) such biographical and financial information about the proposed tenant as Lender may reasonably require in conjunction with its review, (ii) a copy of the proposed form of Lease (or amendment or modification), and (iii) a summary of the material terms of such proposed Lease (or amendment or modification) including, without limitation, rental terms and the term of the proposed Lease and any options. Lender's approval of any Material Lease or assignment, termination, amendment or modification 61 of any Material Lease, shall be deemed given, if the first correspondence from the Borrowers to Lender requesting such approval is in an envelope marked "PRIORITY" and contains a bold-faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page thereof stating that "IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO OR TO EXPRESSLY DENY THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL MAY BE DEEMED GIVEN", and is accompanied by the information and documents required above and any other information reasonably requested by Lender in writing prior to the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period in order to adequately review the same has been delivered and, if Lender fails to respond or to expressly deny such request for approval in writing within the fifteen (15) day period, a second notice is delivered to Lender from the Borrowers in an envelope marked "PRIORITY" requesting approval containing a bold-faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page thereof stating that "IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO OR EXPRESSLY DENY THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN" and Lender fails to respond or to expressly deny each request for approval within the ten (10) day period. Except for security deposits, no Material Lease executed after the Closing Date shall provide for payment of rent more than one month in advance, and the Borrowers shall not under any circumstances collect any such rent more than one month in advance. The Borrowers, at Lender's request, shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Material Leases hereafter made. Each new Material Lease or a separate agreement with the tenant of such Material Lease shall be in recordable form and shall specifically provide that such Material Lease (i) is subordinate to the Mortgages; (ii) that the tenant attorns to Lender, such attornment to be effective upon Lender's acquisition of title to the Property; (iii) that the tenant agrees to execute such further evidences of attornment as Lender may from time to time request; (iv) that the attornment of the tenant shall not be terminated by foreclosure; (v) that in no event shall Lender, as holder of the Mortgages or as successor landlord, be liable to the tenant for any act or omission of any prior landlord or for any liability or obligation of any prior landlord occurring prior to the date that Lender or any subsequent owner acquire title to the Property; and (vi) that Lender may, at Lender's option, accept or reject such attornment. SECTION 5.13 MANAGEMENT; FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS.

The Borrowers shall (i) perform and observe all of the material terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of each Borrower to be performed and observed, and (ii) promptly notify Lender of any notice to any of the Borrowers of any material default under the Management Agreement of which it is aware. If any of the Borrowers shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the applicable Management Agreement on the part of the Borrowers to be performed or observed, then, without limiting Lender's other rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and without waiving or releasing the Borrowers from any of their obligations hereunder or under the applicable Management Agreement, Lender shall have the right, upon prior written notice to the Borrower, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act as may be 62 reasonably appropriate to cause such material conditions of the applicable Management Agreement on the part of the Borrowers to be performed or observed. (B) The Borrowers shall not surrender, terminate, cancel, modify (other than non-material changes), renew or extend the Management Agreement, or enter into any other Management Agreement with Manager or any new Manager, or consent to the assignment by the Manager of its interest under the Management Agreement, in each case without (i) prior to a Securitization, the express consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, or (ii) after a Securitization, delivery of Rating Confirmations from each of the Rating Agencies. The Borrowers shall cause any new Manager with respect to any Property to execute and deliver a subordination of management agreement in substantially the form delivered in connection with the closing of the Loan. (C) Lender shall have the right to require any of the Borrowers to replace any Manager with a Person chosen by the Borrowers and reasonably acceptable to Lender (unless such proposed Manager is an Acceptable Manager) and the applicable Franchisor (to the extent the applicable Franchisor has consent rights), upon the earliest to occur of any one or more of the following events: (i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default; (ii) thirty (30) days after notice from Lender to the Borrowers if Manager has engaged in fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct arising from or in connection with its performance under the applicable Management Agreement; or (iii) upon a change of control of the current Manager. (D) The Borrowers shall not terminate or enter into any Franchise Agreement without Lender's prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in Lender's sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following changes to Franchise Agreements shall be permitted without Lender's prior written consent: (i) Replacement of any Franchise Agreement with a new Franchise Agreement in form substantially similar to a form previously approved by Lender with any Franchisor that would cause a Tier 3 Hotel to become either a Tier 2 Hotel or a Tier 1 Hotel, or that would cause a Tier 2 Hotel to become a Tier 1 Hotel; (ii) Replacement of any Franchise Agreement with a new Franchise Agreement in form substantially similar to a form previously approved by Lender with another Franchisor within the same Category, provided that the Borrowers shall not replace Franchise Agreements (in the aggregate) pursuant to this Section 5.13(D)(ii) with respect to more than the lesser of (x) two (2) Properties, or (y) Properties with Aggregate Allocated Loan Amounts (in the aggregate) of ten percent (10%) of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance; (iii) Replacement of any Franchise Agreement at a Tier 2 Hotel with a new Franchise Agreement in form substantially similar to a form previously approved by Lender for Tier 3 Hotels, provided that the Borrowers shall not replace Franchise Agreements for more than one (1) Property, or for any Property with an Allocated Loan Amount of more than five percent 63 (5%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan pursuant to this Section 5.13(D)(iii); and (iv) Entering into new Franchise Agreements (or amendments or addenda to existing Franchise Agreements) with the existing Franchisors for the applicable Properties for the same franchise brand, each in form substantially similar to the forms previously approved for the respective Properties by Lender, as required by the existing Franchisors under the respective Franchise Agreements in connection with the transfers of the applicable Properties and the direct and indirect ownership interests in the Borrowers made by the Borrower Parties and their Affiliates in connection with the Closing of the Loan. In connection with the replacement of any Franchisors permitted hereunder, the applicable Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days of the execution of such Franchise Agreement, deliver to Lender a Franchisor Letter from any replacement Franchisor in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender. In all cases, each Borrower shall (a) cause the hotel located on the applicable Property to be operated pursuant to the applicable Franchise Agreement; (b) promptly perform and observe in all material respects all of the covenants required to be performed and observed by it under the applicable Franchise Agreement (including the requirements of any Property Improvement Plan); (c) promptly notify Lender of any material default under the applicable Franchise Agreement of which it is aware; and (d) promptly enforce in a commercially reasonable manner the performance and observance of all of the material covenants required to be performed and observed by the Franchisor under the Franchise Agreement.

Lender's consent to any replacement of any Franchise Agreement, or the termination, renewal, extension or modification of an existing Franchise Agreement, shall be deemed given, if the first correspondence from the Borrowers to Lender requesting such consent is in an envelope marked "PRIORITY" and contains a bold-faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page thereof stating that "IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO OR TO EXPRESSLY DENY THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL MAY BE DEEMED GIVEN", and is accompanied by the information and documents required above and any other information reasonably requested by Lender in writing prior to the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period in order to adequately review the same has been delivered and, if Lender fails to respond or to expressly deny such request for approval in writing within the fifteen (15) day period, a second notice is delivered to Lender from the Borrowers in an envelope marked "PRIORITY" requesting approval containing a bold-faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page thereof stating that "IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO OR EXPRESSLY DENY THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN" and Lender fails to respond or to expressly deny each request for approval within the ten (10) day period. 64 SECTION 5.14 MATERIAL AGREEMENTS. The Borrowers shall not enter into or become obligated under any Material Agreement pertaining to any Property without Lender's prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned; except that the following Material Agreements shall not require Lender approval: (i) any Lease that does not require Lender's approval under, and otherwise complies with, the provisions of Section 5.12 hereof, (ii) any Management Agreement that does not require Lender's approval under, and otherwise complies with, the provisions of Section 5.13 hereof (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not affect Borrowers' obligation to deliver Rating Confirmations with respect to any such Management Agreement if required under Section 5.13), (iii) the existing Material Agreements described on SCHEDULE 5.14 attached hereto, (iv) any Franchise Agreement that does not require Lender's approval under, and otherwise complies with, the provisions of Section 5.13(E) or (v) any other agreement that may be terminated without cause and without payment of a penalty or premium, on not more than thirty (30) days' prior written notice.

(B) Within ten (10) Business Days following a written request by the Borrowers, Lender shall provide to the Borrowers a duly acknowledged written statement setting forth the amount of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, the date to which interest has been paid, and whether Lender has provided the Borrowers with written notice of any Event of Default. Compliance by Lender with the requirements of this Section shall be for informational purposes only and shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights or remedies of Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document. SECTION 5.17 INDEBTEDNESS. No Primary Borrower Party will directly or indirectly create, incur, assume, guaranty, or otherwise become or remain directly or indirectly liable with respect to any Indebtedness except for the following (collectively, "PERMITTED INDEBTEDNESS"): (A) the Obligations and Crossed Indebtedness; 65 (B) (i) unsecured trade payables not evidenced by a note and arising out of purchases of goods or services in the ordinary course of business and (ii) Indebtedness incurred in the financing of equipment or other personal property used at any Property in the ordinary course of business, provided that (a) each such trade payable is payable not later than ninety (90) days after the original invoice date and is not overdue by more than thirty (30) days, and (b) the aggregate amount of such trade payables and Indebtedness relating to financing of equipment and personal property or otherwise referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above (excluding therefrom utility expenses of the Properties and fees payable to the Franchisors pursuant to the terms of the Franchise Agreements) outstanding does not, at any time, exceed five percent (5%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan; and (C) the Mezzanine Loan. In no event shall any Indebtedness other than the Loan be secured, in whole or in part, by the Properties or any portion thereof or interest therein. SECTION 5.18 NO LIENS. The obligations of each Borrower under this Section are in addition to and not in limitation of its obligations under Article XI herein. The Borrower shall not create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien on or with respect to the Properties, any other Collateral or any direct or indirect ownership interest in the Borrowers, except the Permitted Encumbrances and Liens on the ownership interests in the Borrowers securing the Mezzanine Loan.

The Borrowers shall not make any payment or permit any payment to be made to any 66 Related Person of any of the Borrowers when or as to any time when any Event of Default shall exist.

The Borrowers shall not file a petition for, consent to the filing of a petition for, or aid, solicit, support, or otherwise act, cooperate or collude to cause the filing of a petition for an Involuntary Borrower Bankruptcy. In any Involuntary Borrower Bankruptcy, no Borrower Party shall, without the prior written consent of Lender, consent to the entry of any order, file any motion, or support any motion (irrespective of the subject of the motion), and the Borrowers shall not file or support any plan of reorganization. The Borrowers having any interest in any Involuntary Borrower Bankruptcy shall do all things reasonably requested by Lender to assist Lender in obtaining such relief as Lender shall seek, and shall in all events vote as directed by Lender. Without limitation of the foregoing, each such Borrower shall do all things reasonably requested by Lender to support any motion for relief from stay or plan of reorganization proposed or supported by Lender. SECTION 5.23 ERISA. (A) NO ERISA PLANS. None of the Primary Borrower Parties will establish any Employee Benefit Plan, Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan, or will commence making contributions to (or become obligated to make contributions to) any Employee Benefit Plan, Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan. (B) COMPLIANCE WITH ERISA. The Borrowers shall not: (i) engage in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the IRC; or (ii) except as may be necessary to comply with applicable laws, establish or amend any Employee Benefit Plan which establishment or amendment could result in liability to the Borrowers or any ERISA Affiliate or increase the obligation of the Borrowers, provided that the Borrower shall not be in default of this covenant if, in either case, any portion of the Loan has been, or will be, funded with plan assets of any employee benefit plan that either (x) is subject to Title I of ERISA or any plan that is covered by Section 4975 of the Code (unless the Lender is eligible to apply for one or more exemptions such that the Loan will not constitute a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA) or (y) could subject a Borrower Party or its Affiliates to an excise tax under Section 4975 of the IRC. 67 (C) NO PLAN ASSETS. The Borrowers shall not at any time during the term of this Loan Agreement become (1) an employee benefit plan defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA which is subject to ERISA, (2) a plan as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the IRC which is subject to Section 4975 of the IRC, (3) a "governmental plan" within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA or (4) an entity any of whose underlying assets constitute "plan assets" of any such employee benefit plan, plan or governmental plan for purposes of Title I or ERISA, Section 4975 of the IRC or any state statutes applicable to the Borrowers regulating investments of governmental plans. SECTION 5.24 PRESS RELEASE. The Borrowers shall not, and shall not permit any other Person within its control to, disclose the name of Lender or terms of this Loan Agreement or the Loan Documents in any press release without the prior written consent of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Borrowers shall be permitted to make such filings and disclosures with respect to the Loan as are required by law. SECTION 5.25 Ground Leases. (A) NO MODIFICATION. The Borrowers shall not modify or amend, or terminate or surrender any Ground Lease, in each case without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion. Any attempted or purported modification, amendment, or any surrender or termination of any Ground Lease without Lender's prior written consent shall be null and void and of no force or effect. (B) PERFORMANCE OF GROUND LEASES. The Borrowers shall fully perform as and when due each and all of its obligations under each Ground Lease in accordance with the terms of such Ground Lease, and shall not cause or suffer to occur any material breach or default in any of such obligations. The Borrowers shall keep and maintain each Ground Lease in full force and effect. The Borrowers shall exercise any option to renew or extend any Ground Lease and give written confirmation thereof to Lender within thirty (30) days after such option is exercised. Notwithstanding that certain of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Loan Agreement may be similar or identical to certain of the obligations of the Borrowers under the Ground Leases, all of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Loan Agreement are and shall be separate from and in addition to its obligations under the Ground Leases. (C) NOTICE OF DEFAULT. If any of the Borrowers shall have or receive any written notice that any Ground Lease Default has occurred, then the Borrowers immediately shall notify Lender in writing of the same and immediately deliver to Lender a true and complete copy of each such notice. Further, the Borrowers shall provide such documents and information as Lender shall reasonably request concerning the Ground Lease Default. (D) LENDER'S RIGHT TO CURE. If any Ground Lease Default shall occur and be continuing, or if any Ground Lessor asserts that a Ground Lease Default has occurred (whether or not the Borrowers question or deny such assertion), then, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Ground Lease, Lender, upon five (5) Business Days' prior written notice to the Borrowers, unless Lender reasonably determines that a shorter period (or no period) of notice is necessary to protect Lender's interest in the Ground Lease, may (but shall not be obligated to) take any action that Lender deems reasonably necessary, including, without limitation, 68 (i) performance or attempted performance of the applicable Borrower's obligations under the applicable Ground Lease, (ii) curing or attempting to cure any actual or purported Ground Lease Default, (iii) mitigating or attempting to mitigate any damages or consequences of the same and (iv) entry upon the applicable Ground Leased Property for any or all of such purposes. Upon Lender's request, each Borrower shall submit satisfactory evidence of payment or performance of any of its obligations under each Ground Lease. Lender may pay and expend such sums of money as Lender in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable for any such purpose, and the Borrowers shall pay to Lender within five (5) Business Days of the written demand of Lender all such sums so paid or expended by Lender, together with interest thereon from the date of expenditure at the Default Rate. (E) LEGAL ACTION. The Borrowers shall not commence any action or proceeding against any Ground Lessor or affecting or potentially affecting any Ground Lease or the Borrowers' or Lender's interest therein, the effect of which could cause an event of default or termination of any such Ground Lease, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Borrowers shall notify Lender immediately if any action or proceeding shall be commenced between any Ground Lessor and either Borrower, or affecting or potentially affecting any Ground Lease or either Borrower's or Lender's interest therein (including, without limitation, any case commenced by or against any Ground Lessor under the Bankruptcy Code). Lender shall have the option, exercisable upon notice from Lender to the Borrowers, to participate in any such action or proceeding with counsel of Lender's choice. The Borrowers shall cooperate with Lender, comply with the reasonable instructions of Lender, execute any and all powers, authorizations, consents or other documents reasonably required by Lender in connection therewith, and shall not settle any such action or proceeding without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. (F) ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Ground Lease, from time to time, at Lender's request, the Borrowers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Lender within the time period required under the applicable Ground Lease, an estoppel certificate from each Ground Lessor setting forth (A) (i) the identities of the original lessor and lessee under the applicable Ground Lease and each of their respective successors, (ii) that the Ground Lease has not been modified or, if it has been modified, the date of each modification (together with copies of each such modification), (iii) the rent payable under the Ground Lease, (iv) the dates to which all rent and other charges have been paid, (v) whether there are any alleged Ground Lease Defaults and, if so, setting forth the nature thereof in reasonable detail, and (vi) such other matters as Lender may reasonably request or (B) the matters required to be certified by the Ground Lessor under the applicable Ground Lease. The Borrowers shall not be required to request an estoppel from any Ground Lessor more than two (2) times in any calendar year. (G) BANKRUPTCY. (i) If any Ground Lessor shall reject any Ground Lease under or pursuant to Section 365 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Borrowers shall not elect to treat the Ground Lease as terminated but shall elect to remain in possession of the applicable Ground Leased Property and the leasehold estate under such Ground Lease. The lien of the Mortgage covering 69 such Property does and shall encumber and attach to all of the Borrowers' rights and remedies at any time arising under or pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, including without limitation, all of such Borrower's rights to remain in possession of such Property and the leasehold estate. (ii) The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that in any case commenced by or against the Borrowers under the Bankruptcy Code, Lender by reason of the liens and rights granted under the Mortgage covering such Property and the Loan Documents shall have a substantial and material interest in the treatment and preservation of such Borrower's rights and obligations under such Ground Lease, and that such Borrower shall, in any such bankruptcy case, provide to Lender immediate and continuous reasonably adequate protection of such interests. Each Borrower and Lender agree that such adequate protection shall include but shall not necessarily be limited to the following: (a) Lender shall be deemed a party to the Ground Lease (but shall not have any obligations thereunder) for purposes of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, and shall, provided that, prior to an Event of Default, no such action by Lender would adversely and materially affect the Borrowers' ability to prosecute, or defend, any such claims asserted therein, have standing to appear and act as a party in interest in relation to any matter arising out of or related to the Ground Lease or such Property. (b) The Borrowers shall serve Lender with copies of all notices, pleadings and other documents relating to or affecting the Ground Lease or the applicable Property. Any notice, pleading or document served by the Borrowers on any other party in the bankruptcy case shall be contemporaneously served by such Borrower on Lender, and any notice, pleading or document served upon or received by such Borrower from any other party in the bankruptcy case shall be served by such Borrower on Lender promptly upon receipt by such Borrower. (c) Upon written request of Lender, the Borrowers shall assume the Ground Lease, and shall take such steps as are necessary to preserve such Borrower's right to assume the Ground Lease, including without limitation using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain extensions of time to assume or reject the Ground Lease under Subsection 365(d) of the Bankruptcy Code to the extent it is applicable. (H) ASSUMPTION AND ASSIGNMENT. If the Borrowers or the applicable Ground Lessor seeks to reject any Ground Lease or have the Ground Lease deemed rejected, then prior to the hearing on such rejection Lender shall, subject to applicable law, be given no less than twenty (20) days' notice and opportunity to elect in lieu of rejection to have the Ground Lease assumed and assigned to a nominee of Lender. If Lender shall so elect to assume and assign the Ground Lease, then the Borrowers shall, subject to applicable law, continue any request to reject the Ground Lease until after the motion to assume and assign has been heard. If Lender shall not elect to assume and assign the Ground Lease, then Lender may, subject to applicable law, obtain in connection with the rejection of the Ground Lease a determination that the applicable Ground Lessor, at Lender's option, shall (1) agree to terminate the Ground Lease and enter into a new lease with Lender on the same terms and conditions as the Ground Lease, for the remaining term of the Ground Lease, or (2) treat the Ground Lease as breached and provide Lender with the 70 rights to cure defaults under the Ground Lease and to assume the rights and benefits of the Ground Lease. Each Borrower shall join with and support any request by Lender to grant and approve the foregoing as necessary for adequate protection of Lender's interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender may seek additional terms and conditions, including such economic and monetary protections as it deems reasonably appropriate to adequately protect its interests, and any request for such additional terms or conditions shall not delay or limit Lender's right to receive the specific elements of adequate protection set forth herein. Each Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its attorney in fact to act on behalf of Lender in connection with all matters relating to or arising out of the assumption or rejection of any Ground Lease, in which the other party to the lease is a debtor in a case under the Bankruptcy Code. This grant of power of attorney is present, unconditional, irrevocable, durable and coupled with an interest. SECTION 5.26 RESERVED. SECTION 5.27 LENDER'S EXPENSES. The Borrowers shall pay, on demand by Lender, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, charges, costs and fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with the negotiation, documentation, closing, administration, servicing, enforcement interpretation, and collection of the Loan and the Loan Documents, and in the preservation and protection of Lender's rights hereunder and thereunder. Without limitation the Borrowers shall pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Lender in any case or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code (or any law succeeding or replacing any of the same). At the Closing, Lender is authorized to pay directly from the proceeds of the Loan any or all of the foregoing expenses then or theretofore incurred and approved by the Borrowers. SECTION 5.28 DISTRIBUTIONS. During the continuance of any Event of Default, and at any time that a Cash Trap Event is in effect, the Borrowers shall not make any distributions of cash or other property to any Borrower Party, or make any payments in lieu thereof, without Lender's prior written approval, which may be granted or withheld in Lender's sole discretion. SECTION 5.29 CANCELLATION OF INDEBTEDNESS; SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein to the contrary, the Borrowers shall not cancel any indebtedness from any Person owing to any Borrower, or settle any claims without Lender's prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld. SECTION 5.30 PROHIBITED PERSONS. The Borrowers covenant and agree that no Borrower Party, nor any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, partners or members will knowingly: (i) conduct any business, nor engage in any transaction or dealing, with any Prohibited Person, including, but not limited to, the making or receiving of any contribution of funds, goods, or services, to or for the benefit of a Prohibited Person; or (ii) engage in or conspire to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in EO13224. The Borrowers further covenants and agrees to deliver (from time to time) to Lender any such certification or other evidence as may be 71 requested by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, confirming that: (i) neither any Borrower Party, nor their respective officers, directors, partners, members or Affiliates, is a Prohibited Person; and (ii) neither any Borrower Party, nor their respective officers, directors, partners, members or Affiliates, has to its Knowledge engaged in any business, transaction or dealings with a Prohibited Person, including, but not limited to, the making or receiving of any contribution of funds, goods, or services, to or for the benefit of a Prohibited Person. ARTICLE VI RESERVES SECTION 6.1 SECURITY INTEREST IN RESERVES; OTHER MATTERS PERTAINING TO RESERVES. (A) The Borrowers hereby pledge, assign and grant to Lender a security interest in and to all of the Borrowers' right, title and interest in and to the Account Collateral, including the Reserves, as security for payment and performance of all of the Obligations hereunder and under the Note and the other Loan Documents. The Reserves constitute Account Collateral and are subject to the security interest in favor of Lender created herein and all provisions of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents pertaining to Account Collateral. (B) In addition to the rights and remedies provided in Article VII and elsewhere herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender shall have all rights and remedies pertaining to the Reserves as are provided for in any of the Loan Documents or under any applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, upon and at all times after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, may use the Reserves (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to any combination of the following: (i) payment of any of the Obligations including the Prepayment Consideration (if any) applicable upon such payment in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion; provided, however, that such application of funds shall not cure or be deemed to cure any Default; (ii) reimbursement of Lender for any actual losses or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees) suffered or incurred as a result of such Event of Default; (iii) payment for the work or obligation for which such Reserves were reserved or were required to be reserved; and (iv) application of the Reserves in connection with the exercise of any and all rights and remedies available to Lender at law or in equity or under this Loan Agreement or pursuant to any of the other Loan Documents. Nothing contained in this Loan Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the funds contained in the Reserves during the continuance of an Event of Default to payment of the Loan or in any specific order of priority. SECTION 6.2 FUNDS DEPOSITED WITH LENDER. (A) INTEREST, OFFSETS. Except only as expressly provided otherwise herein, all funds of the Borrowers which are deposited with Lock Box Account Bank as Reserves hereunder shall be held by Lock Box Account Bank in one or more Permitted Investments, such Permitted Investments, prior to an Event of Default, to be as directed by Borrower. All interest which accrues on the Reserves shall be taxable to the Borrowers and shall be added to and disbursed in the same manner and under the same conditions as the principal sum on which said interest accrued. Additional provisions pertaining to investments are set forth in Article VII. After 72 repayment of all of the Obligations, all funds held as Reserves will be promptly returned to, or as directed by, the Borrowers. (B) FUNDING AT CLOSING. The Borrowers shall deposit with Lender the amounts necessary to fund each of the Reserves as set forth below. Deposits into the Reserves at Closing may occur by deduction from the amount of the Loan that otherwise would be disbursed to the Borrowers, followed by deposit of the same into the applicable Sub-Account or Account of the Lock Box Account in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding such deductions, the Loan shall be deemed for all purposes to be fully disbursed at Closing. SECTION 6.3 IMPOSITIONS AND INSURANCE RESERVE. On the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall deposit with Lock Box Account Bank $1,235,704.81 and, pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement, the Borrowers shall deposit monthly, on each Payment Date commencing on the Payment date in August 2004, 1/12th of the annual charges (as reasonably estimated by Lender) for all Impositions and all Insurance Premiums (other than for D&O Insurance) payable with respect to the Properties hereunder (said funds, together with any interest thereon and additions thereto, the "IMPOSITIONS AND INSURANCE RESERVE"). The initial amount of the monthly deposit to be made to the Impositions and Insurance Reserve from and after the date hereof is $203,202.41. The Borrowers shall also deposit with Lock Box Account Bank within ten (10) Business Days of the written demand by Lender, to be added to and included within such reserve, a sum of money which Lender reasonably estimates, together with such monthly deposits, will be sufficient to make the payment of each such charge at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date initially due. The Borrowers shall provide Lender with bills and all other documents necessary for the payment of the foregoing charges at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which each payment shall first become subject to penalty or interest if not paid. So long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Borrowers have provided Lender with the foregoing bills and other documents in a timely manner, and (iii) sufficient funds are held by Lender for the payment of the Impositions and Insurance Premiums relating to each of the Properties, Lender shall pay said items or disburse to the Borrowers from such Reserve an amount sufficient to pay said items. Interest shall accrue in favor of the Borrowers on funds in the Impositions and Insurance Reserve and be added to the balance thereof and disbursed in accordance with the terms hereof. SECTION 6.4 FF&E RESERVE. On or prior to the Closing Date, Lender or Servicer on behalf of Lender shall establish and maintain with Lock Box Bank an account for the purpose of creating a reserve for replacements of FF&E at or in, or used in connection with, the Properties (the "REPLACEMENTS") in accordance with the applicable CapEx/FF&E Budget approved by Lender (said funds, together with any interest thereon and additions thereto, the "FF&E RESERVE"). The FF&E Reserve shall be held in an Eligible Account entitled "FF&E Reserve Account for the benefit of Merrill Lynch Mortgage Lending, Inc., as secured party" which account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender, subject to the terms of the Cash Management Agreement. Pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement, the Borrowers shall deposit monthly, on each Payment Date commencing with the Payment Date in August 2004, an amount equal to 4.0% of the Operating Revenues generated from the Properties for the prior calendar month (such amount, the "MONTHLY FF&E PAYMENT"). Funds held in the FF&E Reserve may be withdrawn by the Borrowers, subject in all instances to the terms of the Cash Management 73 Agreement, only in accordance with the approved CapEx/FF&E Budget, and no funds held in the FF&E Reserve shall be used in connection with the Required Capital Improvements. Upon and at all times after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no draws will be permitted from the FF&E Reserve other than Replacements subject, in each instance, to Manager's compliance with the FF&E reporting requirements set forth in Section 5.1(A)(v)(d). SECTION 6.5 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT RESERVE; REQUIRED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS. At Closing, the Borrowers shall deposit with Lock Box Account Bank $2,985,668.00 (said funds, together with any interest thereon, the "CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT RESERVE"), which funds shall be made available to the Borrowers solely for payment of certain Capital Improvements required to be made to the Properties and designated as "Required Capital Improvements" on SCHEDULE 6.5 attached hereto (the "REQUIRED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS") and shall not be used by the Borrowers for purposes for which any other Reserve is established or for any other purpose other than completion of the Required Capital Improvements. The Borrowers shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion, subject to Force Majeure, the Required Capital Improvements within the time periods for each Required Capital Improvement set forth on SCHEDULE 6.5. Funds held in the Capital Improvement Reserve shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 6.7. Subject to the foregoing conditions, but also subject to the last paragraph of Section 11.4, the Borrowers shall be entitled to draw any remaining balance in the Capital Improvement Reserve when all Required Capital Improvements are complete, and paid for, in accordance with the terms hereof. SECTION 6.6 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS REMEDIATION RESERVE. At Closing, the Borrowers shall deposit with Lock Box Account Bank, an amount equal to $1,612.50 (said funds, together with any interest thereon and additions thereto, the "HAZARDOUS MATERIALS REMEDIATION RESERVE") for certain work related to Hazardous Materials on the Properties as indicated in the Environmental Reports for the Properties prepared and delivered prior to the Closing and as such work is more particularly described on SCHEDULE 6.6 (the "ENVIRONMENTAL WORK"). Prior to the earlier of (x) the date required by any applicable Governmental Authority or (y) nine (9) months after the Closing, the Borrowers shall, subject to Force Majeure, complete such Environmental Work and shall provide to Lender such closure reports, no-further-action letters, or other evidence of compliance with law as Lender may reasonably require. The funds contained in the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve shall be utilized by the Borrowers solely for performance of the Environmental Work in accordance with the Environmental Reports, and shall not be used by the Borrowers for purposes for which any other Reserve is established. Subject to the Borrowers' satisfaction of the applicable conditions of Section 6.7, the Borrowers shall be entitled to draw upon the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve to pay for costs that have been incurred by the Borrowers for such Environmental Work, provided that the Borrowers deliver to Lender such evidence as may be reasonably satisfactory to Lender that, after payment of such draw, the funds remaining in the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve shall be sufficient to pay for the remainder of such Environmental Work. Subject to the foregoing conditions, but also subject to the last paragraph of Section 11.4, the Borrowers shall be entitled to draw any remaining balance in the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve when all such Environmental Work is complete, and is paid for, in accordance with the terms hereof. 74 SECTION 6.7 CONDITIONS TO DISBURSEMENTS FROM HAZARDOUS MATERIALS REMEDIATION RESERVE AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT RESERVE; PERFORMANCE OF WORK. (A) DISBURSEMENTS FROM THE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS REMEDIATION RESERVE AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT RESERVE. Upon the Borrowers' written request for disbursement, Lender shall authorize Lock Box Account Bank to disburse funds to or for the account of the Borrowers (x) from the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve, to pay to, or pay on behalf of, the Borrowers for the amount of the Borrowers' actual bona fide out-of-pocket expenditures or costs incurred for Environmental Work (the "APPROVED ENVIRONMENTAL EXPENDITURES", and (y) from the Capital Improvement Reserve, to pay to, or pay on behalf of, the Borrowers for the amount of the Borrowers' actual bona fide out-of-pocket expenditures or costs incurred for Required Capital Improvements ("APPROVED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT EXPENDITURES"; and together with the Approved Environmental Expenditures, collectively, "APPROVED EXPENDITURES"; and the related Environmental Work or Required Capital Improvements to which any such request for disbursement relates shall be referred to as the "WORK"), upon satisfaction of each of the conditions listed on SCHEDULE 6.7 and each of the conditions set forth below in Lender's reasonable discretion: (i) Except as provided in this Section 6.7, each request for disbursement from the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve or the Capital Improvement Reserve (such Reserves, the "WORK RESERVES") shall be made for completion of the Approved Expenditures for which disbursement is requested. (ii) A request for disbursement from the Work Reserves may be made after completion of a portion of the Work under such contract, or for payment of deposits required in connection with the Work under such Contract, provided (1) all other conditions in this Loan Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (2) funds remaining in the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve are, in Lender's reasonable judgment, sufficient to complete the Environmental Work when required and/or funds remaining in the Capital Improvement Reserve are, in Lender's reasonable judgment, sufficient to complete such item of Required Capital Improvements and any other Required Capital Improvements remaining to be performed, as the case may be, and (3) if reasonably required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments in excess of $100,000 under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor. (iii) To the extent the contract with the relevant contractor or supplier provides for a retainage, each disbursement from a Work Reserve, except for a final disbursement, shall be in the amount of actual costs incurred less the percentage of such costs that the contract with the relevant contractor or supplier specifies to be retained and advanced as part of the final disbursement. No funds will be advanced for materials stored at any Property unless such materials are properly stored and secured at the applicable Property in accordance with the Borrowers' customary procedures and sound construction practices as reasonably determined by Lender. No funds will be advanced for materials stored at any location other than at the Properties unless Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that Lender has a perfected first priority security interest in any such materials. 75 (iv) The amount of all invoices in connection with the Work with respect to which a disbursement is requested and which has been approved by Lender shall be disbursed by Lock Box Account Bank as directed by the Borrowers (in which event, the Borrowers covenant and agree to promptly pay such invoices) or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at Lender's option and in Lender's sole and absolute discretion, directly to the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor indicated on said invoices unless already paid by the Borrowers and Lender has received satisfactory evidence of such payment in which case Lender shall reimburse the Borrowers. All invoices in connection with disbursements from the Capital Improvement Reserve shall be classified as requests for payment for items of Capital Improvement (as opposed to items that, in conformity with GAAP, would be included as Operating Expenses). If the Borrowers request that any amounts be disbursed directly to the Borrowers pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the Borrowers shall be required to deliver evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender of payment of all invoices for which disbursements were previously made to the Borrowers as a condition to such requested disbursement. (v) No more than two (2) disbursements will be made by Lender from the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve or the Capital Improvement Reserve in any calendar month, and, if made in accordance herewith or otherwise approved by Lender, requested disbursements will be made within five (5) Business Days after the request therefor. Lender shall not be required to make any disbursement from a Work Reserve with respect to the Property unless such requested disbursement is in an amount equal to or greater than $25,000 (other than the final disbursement). (vi) Lender reserves the right, at its option and as a condition to any disbursement from a Work Reserve, to approve (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) (i) all drawings and plans and specifications, if any, for any Work which require aggregate payments in amounts exceeding the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the Aggregate Allocated Loan Amount with respect to the applicable Property or (y) $250,000, and (ii) all contracts and work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors and other parties providing labor or materials in connection with any Work which require aggregate payments in amounts exceeding the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the Aggregate Allocated Loan Amount with respect to the applicable Property or (y) $250,000. Upon Lender's reasonable request, the Borrowers shall assign (to the extent assignable) any drawings, plans and specifications, contracts or subcontracts to Lender. Drawings, plans and specifications, contracts and work orders approved by Lender shall not be changed in any material respect without Lender's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. (vii) The Borrowers shall have delivered a certificate to Lender from an Architect certifying that the Work has been completed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with all applicable laws for any item in excess of the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the Aggregate Allocated Loan Amount with respect to the applicable Property or (y) $250,000. Lender may retain its own architect or engineer ("LENDER'S CONSULTANT") to review any plans and specifications for any item in excess of the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the Aggregate Allocated Loan Amount with respect to the applicable Property or (y) $250,000, and to periodically inspect any Work at the Borrowers' sole cost and expense. 76 (viii) The Borrowers shall have delivered to Lender a certificate of the Borrowers substantially in the form of Exhibit L attached hereto certifying as to the actual costs which were incurred by the Borrowers to complete such Work, which costs shall not materially exceed the amount budgeted for such Work under the CapEx/FF&E Budget then in effect unless approved by Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (together with supporting documentation reasonably acceptable to Lender).

Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by Lender's Consultant and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified architect or engineer acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the applicable Work Reserve. The Borrowers shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expense of such inspections as reasonably required hereunder, whether such inspections are conducted by Lender, Servicer, Lender's Consultant or by an independent qualified professional. (B) PERFORMANCE OF WORK. (i) The Borrowers shall complete all Work in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement thereof substantially in accordance with the applicable budget approved by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Loan Agreement. The insufficiency of the balance in the applicable Work Reserve shall not relieve the Borrowers from their obligations to perform and complete the related Work as herein provided or to fulfill all other preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents. (ii) If Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Work is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Work has not been completed in a workmanlike manner, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory work and so notify the Borrowers with reasonable detail regarding the basis for Lender's dissatisfaction and, after the expiration of forty-five (45) days from the giving of such notice by Lender to the Borrowers of such unsatisfactory work without the cure thereof (or, if such unsatisfactory work is susceptible of a cure but cannot reasonably be cured within said forty-five (45) day period and provided that the Borrowers shall have commenced to cure such unsatisfactory work within said forty-five (45) day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, after the expiration of such longer period as is reasonably necessary for the Borrowers in the exercise of due diligence to cure such 77 unsatisfactory work, up to a maximum of an additional sixty (60) days, subject to Force Majeure, without the cure thereof), Lender may proceed under existing contracts or contract with third parties to complete such Work, as the case may be, and apply amounts contained in the applicable Work Reserve toward the labor and materials necessary to complete the same, without providing any additional prior notice to the Borrowers, and exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder. (iii) In order to facilitate Lender's completion or making of any Work pursuant to Section 6.7(B)(ii) above, the Borrowers grant Lender the right to enter onto each Property during normal business hours after the expiration of the notice specified above and perform, subject to the rights of tenants, any and all work and labor necessary to complete the applicable Work and/or employ watchmen to protect the Property from damage. All sums so expended by Lender shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to the Borrowers and secured by the applicable Mortgage. For this purpose, the Borrowers constitute and appoint Lender their true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the applicable Work in the name of the Borrowers pursuant to Section 6.7(B)(ii) above. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrowers empower said attorney-in-fact as follows: (i) to use any funds in the applicable Work Reserve for the purpose of making or completing any Work; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to any Work as shall be reasonably necessary or desirable to complete the same; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against any Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of any Work, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of the Borrowers which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) in its reasonable discretion, to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with any Property or the rehabilitation and repair of such Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which the Borrowers might do in their own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Loan Agreement. (iv) Nothing in this Section shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing any Work; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the amounts on deposit in the applicable Work Reserve to make or complete any Work; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with any Work; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from the Borrowers additional sums to make or complete any Work. (v) The Borrowers shall permit Lender and Lender's agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lender's engineer, architect or inspector) or third parties performing any Work pursuant to this Section 6.7 to enter onto any Property during normal business hours upon reasonable notice (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Work and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating thereto which are or may be kept at any Property, and to complete any Work made pursuant to Section 6.7(B)(ii). The Borrowers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender's representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 6.7(B) or the completion of the Work pursuant to this Section 6.7(B). 78 (vi) All Work and all materials, equipment, fixtures and any other item comprising a part thereof shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic's, materialman's or other liens (except for the Permitted Encumbrances). (vii) All Work shall comply with all applicable legal requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the Properties and applicable insurance requirements, including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations and requirements of insurance underwriters. (C) INDEMNIFICATION. The Borrowers shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations, out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, litigation costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the performance of the Work, except to the extent caused by the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of Lender. The Borrowers shall assign to Lender all rights and claims the Borrowers may have against all Persons supplying labor or materials in connection with the Work; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim or pursue any other action with respect to such rights and claims unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured. SECTION 6.8 CASH TRAP RESERVE. (i) If, at any time prior to the repayment of the Obligations in full, a Cash Trap Event shall occur, then for so long as such Cash Trap Event continues to exist, all Excess Cash Flow (except as otherwise expressly provided below) shall be deposited with Lender (or its Servicer or agent) and held in the Lock Box Account in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement (said funds, together with any interest thereon, the "CASH TRAP RESERVE"). A "CASH TRAP EVENT" shall occur as of any Calculation Date when the Debt Yield is less than the Minimum Debt Yield for the trailing twelve (12) month period ending on such Calculation Date and shall continue to exist until such time as the Minimum Debt Yield test has been satisfied for three (3) consecutive Calculation Dates (on a trailing twelve (12) month basis) following the commencement of the applicable Cash Trap Event. Notwithstanding that the Debt Yield is less than the Minimum Debt Yield as of any Calculation Date, no Cash Trap Event shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of such event if the Borrowers make a principal prepayment of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance (which prepayment amount shall be disbursed on the next Payment Date in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement), within three (3) Business Days after the date of delivery of the financial statements disclosing the existence of such Cash Trap Event (or the date on which such financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1), in an amount equal to the greater of (x) one percent (1%) of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance, or (y) 120% of the amount, as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion, sufficient to cause the Debt Yield to meet or exceed the Minimum Debt Yield if such calculation was recalculated as provided above assuming that such amount was applied to reduce the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance as of the first day of the relevant measuring period. During the continuance of a Cash Trap Event, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any funds on deposit in the Cash Trap Reserve may, at the Borrowers' election, be retained in the Cash Trap Reserve or may be applied to (i) prepayment of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance as provided above, (ii) Capital Expenditures reasonably approved by Lender, or (iii) scheduled payments (not to exceed $525,000 in the aggregate) of principal and interest 79 under the Loan and the Allocable Portion of the Mezzanine Loan (to be applied in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement). Any funds on deposit in the Cash Trap Reserve shall continue to be held as additional Collateral in accordance with this Section 6.8 until the earlier of (a) the date that such funds are applied or disbursed pursuant to the foregoing sentence or (b) the date that the Minimum Debt Yield test has been satisfied for three (3) consecutive months (as determined above), at which time, provided no Event of Default exists, and no Cash Trap Event has commenced, such funds, together with any and all amounts then held in the Minimum Balance Sub-Account (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement), shall be automatically released to the Borrowers without any further certification requirements on the part of the Borrowers. The existence of a Cash Trap Event shall be determined by Lender in its reasonable good faith determination. If Lender determines that a Cash Trap Event has occurred, Lender shall send the Borrowers written notice thereof. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all funds on deposit in the Cash Trap Reserve and any subsequent Excess Cash Flow, while such Event of Default is continuing, may be applied by Lender to payment of the Loan (including payment of any Prepayment Consideration) or other Obligations (or to the obligations of the Mezzanine Borrowers to Mezzanine Lender) as Lender may elect.

The Deposit Bank and the Lock Box Account Bank shall be directed to deliver to the Borrowers copies of bank statements and other information made available by the Deposit Bank and the Lock Box Account Bank concerning the Deposit Account and the Lock Box Account. (ii) Upon establishing the Deposit Account, (1) the Borrowers shall cause any and all Operating Revenues, including distributions or other payments made directly or indirectly to the Borrowers, Manager, or any of their respective Affiliates, from any Beverage Company, to be deposited promptly into the Deposit Account and in no event later than two (2) Business Days after the same are paid to or for the benefit of the Borrowers, and (2) the Borrowers shall obtain 80 agreements (each, a "CREDIT CARD RECEIVABLES PAYMENT DIRECTION LETTER") from each of the Persons paying or disbursing credit card receivables (the "CREDIT CARD COMPANIES"), substantially similar to Lender's form or otherwise in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, pursuant to which the Credit Card Companies agree to pay all credit card receivables into the Lock Box Account, and acknowledge and agree that Lender shall have a first priority perfected security interest in such credit card receivables. To the extent that the Borrowers or any Person on the Borrowers' behalf holds any Receipts, whether in accordance with this Loan Agreement or otherwise, the Borrowers shall be deemed to hold the same in trust for Lender for the protection of the interests of Lender hereunder and under the Loan Documents. The Borrowers represent and warrant that, as of the date hereof, the only Credit Card Companies paying or disbursing credit card receivables with respect to the Property are Chase Merchant Services, American Express, Discover Financial Service, Diners Club, JCB (Japanese Credit Bureau), and, if any of the Borrowers shall hereafter enter into an agreement with any other Credit Card Company pursuant to which such Credit Card Company shall pay credit card receivables with respect to the Properties, such Borrower shall promptly obtain a Credit Card Receivables Payment Direction Letter in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender from such Credit Card Company. (iii) The Borrowers shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the transactions and other matters contemplated by this Section 7.1, including but not limited to, Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, and all reasonable fees and expenses of the Deposit Bank and the Lock Box Account Bank, including without limitation their reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. (B) LOCK BOX ACCOUNT. On or before the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the Cash Management Agreement, an Eligible Account shall be established in the name of Lender, as secured party hereunder, to serve as the "Lock Box Account" (said account, and any account replacing the same in accordance with this Loan Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement, the "LOCK BOX ACCOUNT"; and the depositary institution in which the Lock Box Account is maintained, the "LOCK BOX ACCOUNT BANK"). The Lock Box Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender (which dominion and control may be exercised by Servicer); and except as expressly provided hereunder and/or in the Cash Management Agreement, the Borrowers shall not have the right to control or direct the investment or payment of funds therein during the continuance of an Event of Default. Lender may elect to change any financial institution in which the Lock Box Account shall be maintained if such institution is no longer an Eligible Bank, upon not less than five (5) Business Days' notice to the Borrower. The Lock Box Account shall be deemed to contain such sub-accounts as Lender may designate ("SUB-ACCOUNTS"), which may be maintained as separate ledger accounts and need not be separate Eligible Accounts. The Sub-Accounts shall include the following as more particularly described in the Cash Management Agreement: (i) "DEBT SERVICE SUB-ACCOUNT" means the Sub-Account of the Lock Box Account established for the purposes of reserving for payments of principal and interest and other amounts due under the Loan Documents (but without duplication of amounts covered under item (ii) below); and 81 (ii) "RESERVE SUB-ACCOUNTS" means the Sub-Accounts of the Lock Box Account established for the purpose of holding funds in the Reserves including: (a) the "Imposition and Insurance Reserve Sub-Account"; (b) the "Capital Improvement Reserve Sub-Account"; (c) the "Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve Sub-Account"; (d) the "Extraordinary Receipts Sub-Account" (e) the "Mezzanine Loan Debt Service Sub-Account"; (f) the "Minimum Balance Sub-Account"; and (g) "Cash Trap Reserve Sub-Account". SECTION 7.2 APPLICATION OF FUNDS IN LOCK BOX ACCOUNT. Funds in the Lock Box Account shall be allocated to the Sub-Accounts or the other Accounts (or paid, as the case may be) in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement. SECTION 7.3 APPLICATION OF FUNDS AFTER EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section or elsewhere, Lender shall have all rights and remedies available under applicable law and under the Loan Documents. Without limitation of the foregoing, for so long as an Event of Default exists, Lender may apply any and all funds in the Deposit Account, and/or any Sub-Accounts against all or any portion of any of the Obligations, in any order.

Upon and at any time after the occurrence of any other Event of Default, at the option of Lender, which may be exercised without notice or demand to anyone, all or any portion of the Loan and other Obligations shall immediately become due and payable. (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 the Borrowers under this Loan 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 Properties. 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 each Property and the Mortgages have been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Obligations or the Obligations have been paid in full. (C) Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgages in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgages then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event the Borrowers default beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage or any of them to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered. 85 (D) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. The Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, within ten (10) days after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall reasonably request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. The Borrowers hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoint Lender as their true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in their name and stead to make and execute all documents reasonably necessary to effect the aforesaid severance if the Borrowers fail to do so within ten (10) days of Lender's written request, the Borrowers ratifying all that their said attorney shall do by virtue thereof. (E) Any amounts recovered from the Properties or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine. (F) The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Loan Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against the Borrowers pursuant to this Loan 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 the Borrowers shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by the Borrowers or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. SECTION 8.3 PERFORMANCE BY LENDER. (A) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if any of the Borrowers shall fail to perform, or cause to be performed, any material covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents (subject to applicable notice and cure periods), Lender may perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of the Borrowers including making protective advances on behalf of any Borrower, or, in its sole discretion, causing the obligations of any of the Borrowers to be satisfied with the proceeds of any Reserve. In such event, the Borrowers shall, at the request of Lender, promptly pay to Lender, or reimburse, as applicable, any of the Reserves, any actual amount reasonably expended or disbursed by Lender in such performance or attempted performance, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate (including reimbursement of any applicable Reserves), from the date of such expenditure or disbursement, 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 applicable Note and shall be secured by all of the Collateral securing the applicable Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that Lender shall not have any liability or responsibility for the performance of any obligation of the 86 Borrowers under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, and it is further expressly agreed that no such performance by Lender shall cure any Event of Default hereunder. (B) Lender may cease or suspend any and all performance required of Lender under the Loan Documents upon and at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default.

Lender shall have the right to engage in one or more Secondary Market Transactions with respect to the Loan, and to structure and restructure all or any part of the Loan, including without limitation in multiple tranches, as a wraparound loan, or for inclusion in a REMIC or other Securitization. Without limitation, Lender shall have the right, at Lender's sole cost (other than each Borrower's internal costs and expenses and the costs and expenses of the Borrowers' counsel), to cause the Note and any Mortgage to be split into a first and a second mortgage loan, or into one or more loans evidenced by multiple notes and secured by multiple mortgages and/or by ownership interests in any of the Borrowers in whatever proportion Lender determines, and thereafter to engage in Secondary Market Transactions with respect to all or any part of the indebtedness and loan documentation. Each of the Borrower Parties acknowledge that it is the intention of the parties that all or a portion of the Loan will be securitized and that all or a portion of the Loan will be rated by one or more Rating Agencies. Each of the Borrower Parties further acknowledge that additional structural modifications may be required to satisfy issues raised by any Rating Agencies.

The Borrower Parties shall use all reasonable efforts and cooperate reasonably and in good faith with Lender in effecting any such restructuring or Secondary Market Transactions at Lender's sole cost (other than, with respect to the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction only (or if the Loan shall be hereafter split into multiple loans, the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction with respect to each of such loans), the Borrowers' internal costs and expenses and the costs and expenses of the Borrower Parties' counsel). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Article X, it is acknowledged and agreed that in no event shall Lender be responsible for payment of any Borrower Party's (or its Affiliate's) internal costs and expenses in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction. Such cooperation shall include without limitation, executing and delivering such reasonable amendments to the Loan Documents and the organizational documents of each Borrower as Lender or any Interested Party (as defined below) may request, provided however that, no such amendment shall modify (i) the weighted average interest rate payable under the Note (or notes); (ii) the stated maturity date of the Note, (iii) the amortization of the principal amount of the Note, (iv) any other material economic terms of the Obligations, (v) the non-recourse provisions of the Loan or (vi) any provision, the effect of which would increase the Borrowers' obligations or decrease the Borrowers' rights under the Loan Documents except to a de minimis extent. The Borrower Parties shall not be required to provide additional collateral to effect any such restructuring or Secondary Market Transaction after the Closing Date. The Borrower Parties shall not be required to pay any third party (other than, which respect to the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction only (or if the Loan shall be hereafter split into multiple loans, the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction with respect to each of such loans), the costs and expenses of the Borrowers' counsel) costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any such Secondary Market Transaction unless otherwise expressly payable by the Borrower Parties under this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents. SECTION 10.3 INFORMATION. The Borrower Parties, at Lender's cost and expense (other than, with respect to the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction only (or if the Loan shall be hereafter split into multiple loans, the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction with respect to each of such loans), the Borrowers' internal costs and expenses and the costs and expenses of the Borrower Parties' counsel), shall provide such access to personnel and such information and documents relating to the Borrower Parties, Manager, the Properties and Collateral and the business and operations of all of the foregoing and such opinions of counsel (including nonconsolidation opinions) as any Rating Agency may request or as Lender or any other Interested Party may reasonably request in connection with any such Secondary Market Transaction including, without limitation, updated financial information, appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews (Phase I's and, if appropriate, Phase II's), mold inspection, property condition reports and other due diligence investigations together with appropriate verification of such updated information and reports through letters of auditors and consultants and, as of the closing date of the Secondary Market Transaction, updated representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents and such additional representations and warranties as any Rating Agency may request or any purchaser, transferee, assignee, trustee, servicer or potential investor (the Rating Agencies and all of the foregoing parties, collectively, "INTERESTED PARTIES") may reasonably request, to the extent such updated representations and warranties are true. On or prior to the date of closing of any 92 Secondary Market Transaction, the Borrowers, at Lender's cost and expense (other than with respect to the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction only (or if the Loan shall be hereafter split into multiple loans, the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction with respect to each of such loans), the Borrowers' internal costs and expenses and the costs and expenses of the Borrowers' counsel), shall, if required by any Rating Agency or reasonably required by Lender, provide revisions or "bringdowns" to any opinions delivered at Closing (including nonconsolidation opinions), or if required by the Rating Agencies, new versions of such opinions, which opinions shall be consistent in substance with the opinions covered by the original opinions, addressed to Lender, any trustee under any Securitization backed in whole or in part by the Loan, any Rating Agency that assigns a rating to any securities in connection therewith and any investor purchasing securities therein. Lender shall be permitted to share all such information with the investment banking firms, Rating Agencies, accounting firms, law firms, other third party advisory firms, potential investors, servicers and other service providers and other parties directly involved in any proposed Secondary Market Transaction. The Borrowers understand that any such information may be incorporated into any offering circular, prospectus, prospectus supplement, private placement memorandum or other offering documents for any Secondary Market Transaction. Lender and the Rating Agencies shall be entitled to rely upon such information. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrowers and Guarantor shall provide in connection with each (i) preliminary and final private placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, prepared in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction (the documents referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the "DISCLOSURE DOCUMENTS"), an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers and Guarantor certifying that the Borrowers and Guarantor have examined such Disclosure Documents specified by Lender and, that the sections of such Disclosure Document describing the Borrowers, Guarantor, the Properties and Manager do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading. The Borrowers and Guarantor shall each indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Lender, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("MERRILL LYNCH"), and their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, agents and each Person, if any, who controls Lender, Merrill Lynch or any such Affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and any other placement agent or underwriter with respect to any Securitization or Secondary Market Transaction from and against any losses, claims, damages and liabilities that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Disclosure Document as to the Borrowers, Guarantor, Manager and the Properties or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such information or necessary in order to make the statements in such information not materially misleading; provided, however, the Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify Merrill Lynch for any liabilities arising out of untrue statements or omissions that were identified to Lender in writing or are set forth in any third party report not prepared by the Borrowers or their Affiliates unless such reports are caused to be incorrect or misleading based upon information provided by the Borrowers or their Affiliates. Lender may publicize the existence of the Obligations in connection with Lender's Secondary Market Transaction activities or otherwise. 93 SECTION 10.4 ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS. In any Secondary Market Transaction, Lender may transfer its obligations under this Loan Agreement and under the other Loan Documents (or may transfer the portion thereof corresponding to the transferred portion of the Obligations), and thereafter Lender shall be relieved of any obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents arising after the date of said transfer with respect to the transferred interest.

ARTICLE XIII WAIVERS OF DEFENSES OF GUARANTORS AND SURETIES SECTION 13.1 WAIVERS. To the extent that any of the Borrowers (in this Article, a "WAIVING PARTY") is deemed for any reason to be a guarantor or surety of or for any other Borrower Party or Affiliate or to have rights or obligations in the nature of the rights or obligations of a guarantor or surety (whether by reason of execution of a guaranty, provision of security for the obligations of another, or otherwise) then this Article shall apply. This Article shall not affect the rights of the Waiving Party other than to waive or limit rights and defenses that Waiving Party would have (i) in its capacity as a guarantor or surety or (ii) in its capacity as one having rights or obligations in the nature of a guarantor or surety. Waiving Party hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of receivership or bankruptcy of any of the other Borrower Parties, protest or notice with respect to any of the obligations of any of the other Borrower Parties, setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of acceptance, the benefits of all statutes of limitation, and all other demands whatsoever (and shall not require that the same be made on any of the other Borrower Parties as a condition precedent to the 100 obligations of Waiving Party), and covenants that the Loan Documents will not be discharged, except by complete payment and performance of the obligations evidenced and secured thereby, except only as limited by the express contractual provisions of the Loan Documents. Waiving Party further waives all notices that the principal amount, or any portion thereof, and/or any interest on any instrument or document evidencing all or any part of the obligations of any of the other Borrower Parties to Lender is due, notices of any and all proceedings to collect from any of the other Borrower Parties or any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of their obligations, or from any other person or entity, and, to the extent permitted by law, notices of exchange, sale, surrender or other handling of any security or collateral given to Lender to secure payment of all or any part of the obligations of any of the other Borrower Parties. Except only to the extent provided otherwise in the express contractual provisions of the Loan Documents, Waiving Party hereby agrees that all of its obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect, without defense, offset or counterclaim of any kind, notwithstanding that any right of Waiving Party against any of the other Borrower Parties or defense of Waiving Party against Lender may be impaired, destroyed, or otherwise affected by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Lender. Waiving Party waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Lender, even though that election of remedies, may have destroyed the Waiving Party's rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the other Borrower Parties. Lender is hereby authorized, without notice or demand, from time to time, (a) to renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or other terms relating to, all or any part of the obligations of any of the other Borrower Parties; (b) to accept partial payments on all or any part of the obligations of any of the other Borrower Parties; (c) to take and hold security or collateral for the payment of all or any part of the obligations of any of the other Borrower Parties; (d) to exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security or collateral for such obligations; (e) to apply such security or collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as in its discretion it may determine; (f) to settle, release, exchange, enforce, waive, compromise or collect or otherwise liquidate all or any part of such obligations and any security or collateral for such obligations. Any of the foregoing may be done in any manner, and Waiving Party agrees that the same shall not affect or impair the obligations of Waiving Party under the Loan Documents. Waiving Party hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of all of the other Borrower Parties and any and all endorsers and/or other guarantors of all or any part of the obligations of the other Borrower Parties, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of such obligations, and Waiving Party hereby agrees that Lender shall have no duty to advise Waiving Party of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances. Waiving Party agrees that neither Lender nor any person or entity acting for or on behalf of Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Waiving Party or against or in payment of any or all of the obligations secured hereby. Waiving Party further agrees that, to the extent that any of the other Borrower Parties or any other guarantor of all or any part of the obligations of the other Borrower Parties makes a payment or payments to Lender, or Lender receives any proceeds of collateral for any of the obligations of the other 101 Borrower Parties, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid or refunded, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, the part of such obligations which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by such amount shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the time immediately preceding such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction. Waiving Party (i) shall have no right of subrogation with respect to the obligations of the other Borrower Parties; (ii) waives any right to enforce any remedy that Lender now has or may hereafter have against any of the other Borrower Parties any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of such obligations or any other person; and (iii) waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to Lender to secure the payment or performance of all or any part of such obligations or any other liability of the other parties to Lender. Waiving Party agrees that any and all claims that it may have against any of the other Borrower Parties, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of the obligations of the other Borrower Parties, or against any of their respective properties, shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all obligations secured hereby. Notwithstanding any right of any of the Waiving Party to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment from the other Borrower Parties, all rights, liens and security interests of Waiving Party, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of any of the other Borrower Parties (whether constituting part of the security or collateral given to Lender to secure payment of all or any part of the obligations of the other Borrower Parties or otherwise) shall be and hereby are subordinated to the rights of Lender in those assets. ARTICLE XIV MISCELLANEOUS SECTION 14.1 EXPENSES AND ATTORNEYS' FEES.

The obligations and liabilities of the Borrowers under this Section 14.2 shall survive the term of the Loan and the exercise by Lender of any of its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, including the acquisition of the Properties by foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure. SECTION 14.3 AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. Except as otherwise provided herein, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Loan Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, or consent to any departure therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender and any other party to be charged. Each amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on the Borrowers in any case shall entitle the Borrowers or other Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 103 SECTION 14.4 RETENTION OF THE BORROWERS' DOCUMENTS. Lender may, in accordance with Lender's customary practices, destroy or otherwise dispose of all documents, schedules, invoices or other papers, delivered by the Borrowers to Lender (other than the Note) unless the Borrowers request in writing that same be returned.

(ii) The Borrowers shall pay to Lender on the Defeasance Election Date all interest accrued and unpaid on the outstanding principal amount of this Note due through the Defeasance Election Date, or through the end of the Interest Accrual Period during which the Defeasance Election Date occurs if the Defeasance Election Date is other than a Payment Date, and the scheduled principal amortization payment due on such Defeasance Election Date, or due upon the next succeeding Payment Date if the Defeasance Election Date is other than a Payment Date, together with all other amounts, if any, then due and payable under this Note, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents. (iii) The Borrowers shall irrevocably deposit with Lender an amount of U.S. Government Securities (hereinafter defined) which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than the due dates of the payments owing hereunder, cash in an amount sufficient, without reinvestment, in the opinion of a firm of independent certified public accountants reasonably acceptable to Lender expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to Lender (the "CPA Certificate"), (1) with respect to a total Defeasance, to pay and discharge the Scheduled Defeasance Payments (hereinafter defined) for the principal balance of this Note or (2) with respect to a partial Defeasance in connection with the release of one or more Properties, to pay and discharge the Scheduled Defeasance Payments relating to the Release Price for such Property or Properties (the U.S. Government Securities so deposited together with any interest or other increase from the issuer of the securities earned thereon, and any replacements thereof, shall be referred to herein as the "Defeasance Deposit"). All such U.S. Government Securities, if in registered form, shall be registered in the name of Lender or its nominee (and, if registered in nominee's name, endorsed to Lender or in blank) and, if issued in book-entry form, the name of Lender or its 2 nominee shall appear as the owner of such securities on the books of the Federal Reserve Bank or other party maintaining such book-entry system. (iv) The Borrowers shall cause the following to be delivered to Lender on or prior to the Defeasance Election Date, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender: (a) a security agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, creating a first priority lien on the Defeasance Deposit (the "Defeasance Security Agreement"); (b) the CPA Certificate; (c) a certificate of the Borrowers certifying that all requirements for the Defeasance set forth herein have been satisfied; (d) an opinion of counsel for the Borrowers in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender to the effect that (i) Lender has a perfected first priority security interest in the Defeasance Deposit, (ii) the holder of this Note will not recognize additional income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the Defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the Defeasance had not occurred, (iii) any holder, trustee or custodian of this Note which is a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code will not fail to maintain its status as such as a result of the Defeasance and (iv) the Defeasance Security Agreement is enforceable against the Borrowers in accordance with its terms; (e) evidence in writing from the applicable Rating Agencies for any Securities backed in whole or in part by this Note, to the effect that the Defeasance will not result in a downgrading, withdrawal, or qualification of the ratings in effect immediately prior to such Defeasance for any class of such then outstanding Securities; (f) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that each of the Borrowers remains validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state where it is organized and, to the extent required by applicable law, qualified to do business in the state where its respective Property is located; and the Borrowers shall maintain such existence during the time thereafter when this Note shall be outstanding (unless a Successor Borrower (hereinafter defined) assumes the obligations of each of the Borrowers or the Defeasing Borrower(s) (as hereinafter defined), as the case may be, under this Note); and (g) a certificate of the Borrowers certifying that all of the representations, and warranties contained in the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects as of the Defeasance Election Date and ratifying all of the covenants and obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents as of such date and such other certificates, documents or instruments as Lender may reasonably request or as may be required by the Rating Agencies referred to above, provided that such certificates, documents or instruments shall not increase the Borrowers' obligations or decrease the Borrowers' rights under the Loan Documents. 3 (v) Either (1) each of the Borrowers in the case of a total Defeasance, or the Defeasing Borrower(s) in the case of a partial Defeasance shall deliver to Lender a certificate stating that at all times following the Defeasance, the Borrowers or the Defeasing Borrower(s), as the case may be, shall have no interest in any assets other than the Defeasance Deposit, or (2) such Borrower(s) shall satisfy all of the requirements of Section C below. (vi) The Borrowers shall pay to Lender all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with the Defeasance. (vii) In the event only a portion of the Loan evidenced by this Note is the subject of the Defeasance in connection with the release of any Lien of any applicable Mortgage on one or more individual Properties under Section 11.4 of the Loan Agreement, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver all necessary documents to amend and restate this Note and issue two substitute promissory notes therefor: one note having a principal balance equal to the defeased portion of the original Note (the "Defeased Note") and one note having a principal balance equal to the undefeased portion of the original Note (the "Undefeased Note"). The Defeased Note and the Undefeased Note shall have identical terms as the original Note (and the Defeased Note and the Undefeased Note or Notes shall be cross-defaulted with each other), except for the principal balance. A Defeased Note cannot be the subject of any further Defeasance. An Undefeased Note may be the subject of a further Defeasance in accordance with the terms of this Note and the Loan Agreement (the term "Note", as used above in this clause (vii) for these purposes, being deemed to refer to the Undefeased Note that is the subject of further defeasance); provided, however, that no such partial Defeasance shall take place unless the conditions hereof and the conditions of Section 11.4 of the Loan Agreement are satisfied. B. Upon compliance with the requirements of Section A above and compliance with the requirements of Section 11.4 of the Loan Agreement, Lender shall cause each of the Properties, in the case of a total Defeasance, or each Defeased Property (as hereinafter defined), in the case of a partial Defeasance, to be released from the lien of the applicable Mortgages and the other applicable Loan Documents. The obligations under the Loan Documents with respect to the Properties or each Defeased Property, as the case may be, shall no longer be applicable, and the Defeasance Deposit shall be the sole source of collateral securing this Note or the Defeased Note, as the case may be. Lender shall apply the Defeasance Deposit and the payments received therefrom to the payment of all scheduled principal and interest payments due on all successive Payment Dates under this Note or the Defeased Note, as the case may be, after the Defeasance Election Date to and including the Maturity Date and to payment of the entire remaining Debt or the entire remaining principal balance, accrued and unpaid interest and other sums due under the Defeased Note, as the case may be, on the Maturity Date (collectively, the "Scheduled Defeasance Payments"). The Borrowers, pursuant to the Defeasance Security Agreement or other appropriate document, shall direct that the payments received from the Defeasance Deposit shall be made directly to Lender and applied to satisfy the obligations of the Borrowers under this Note or the Defeased Note, as the case may be. C. If, after the Defeasance, the Borrowers, in the case of a total Defeasance, or the Defeasing Borrower(s), in the case of a partial Defeasance, will own any assets other than the Defeasance Deposit, the Borrowers or the Defeasing Borrower(s), as the case may be, shall 4 establish or designate a single-purpose, bankruptcy-remote successor entity acceptable to Lender (the "Successor Borrower"), with respect to which a nonconsolidation opinion reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and any applicable Rating Agencies shall be delivered to Lender and such Rating Agencies, in which case the Borrowers or the Defeasing Borrower(s), as the case may be, shall transfer and assign to the Successor Borrower all of their respective obligations, rights and duties under this Note or the Defeased Note, as the case may be, and the Defeasance Security Agreement, together with the pledged Defeasance Deposit. The Successor Borrower shall assume the obligations of the Borrowers or the Defeasing Borrower(s), as the case may be, under this Note or the Defeased Note, as the case may be, and the Defeasance Security Agreement, and such Borrower(s) shall be relieved and released of their respective obligations hereunder and thereunder. Each of the Borrowers or the applicable Defeasing Borrower(s), as the case may be, shall pay not less than $1,000 to the Successor Borrower as consideration for assuming such Borrower's obligations. D. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings: (i) "Defeased Property" shall mean any Property being released from the lien of the Mortgage relating to such Property pursuant to a partial Defeasance in accordance with the provisions of this Note and Section 11.4 of the Loan Agreement. (ii) "U.S. Government Securities" shall mean securities that are (i) direct obligations of the United States of America for the full and timely payment of which its full faith and credit is pledged or (ii) obligations of an entity controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality and guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation which shall be fully and timely paid by the United States of America, which in either case are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof (including a depository receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the United States Securities Act)) as custodian with respect to any such U.S. Government Securities or a specific payment of principal of or interest on any such U.S. Government Securities held by such custodian for the account of the holder of such depository receipt, provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the securities or the specific payment of principal of or interest on the securities evidenced by such depository receipt. (iii) "Defeasing Borrower" shall mean the Borrower owning or leasing, as the case may be, a Defeased Property. (iv) "Release Price" shall have the meaning set forth in the Loan Agreement. E. If, after payment in full of all obligations evidenced by this Note or any other of the Loan Documents, any of the Defeasance Deposit remains, such remaining balance of the Defeasance Deposit shall be returned to the Borrowers (or to the Successor Borrower, as the case may be) or Lender shall assign to the Borrowers (or the Successor Borrower, as the case may be) all of Lender's right, title, and interest in the Government Securities constituting the Defeasance Deposit. 5 PREPAYMENT; PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATION. The Borrowers may not prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time except as expressly provided in Section 2.6 of the Loan Agreement. EVENTS OF DEFAULT; ACCELERATION. Upon and at any time following the occurrence of any Event of Default, then at the option of Lender and without notice, the entire principal amount and all interest accrued and outstanding hereunder and all other amounts outstanding under any of the Loan Documents shall at once become due and payable, and Lender may exercise any and all of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents or pursuant to applicable law. Lender may so accelerate such obligations and exercise such remedies at any time after the occurrence of any Event of Default, regardless of any prior forbearance. LATE CHARGES; DEFAULT INTEREST. If an Event of Default relating to non-payment of any principal, interest or other sums due under this Note or under any of the other Loan Documents shall occur, then the Borrowers shall pay to Lender, in addition to all sums otherwise due and payable, a late fee in an amount equal to five percent (5.0%) of such principal, interest or other sums due hereunder or under any other Loan Document (or, in the case of a partial payment, the unpaid portion thereof), such late charge to be immediately due and payable without demand by Lender. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and in any event from and after the Maturity Date of the Loan, the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest until paid in full at a rate per annum (the "Default Rate") equal to the sum of (i) four percent (4.0%) and (ii) the Interest Rate otherwise applicable under this Note. The Borrowers agree that such late charges and Default Rate of interest are reasonable and do not constitute a penalty. LAWFUL INTEREST. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Note, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Borrowers 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 ("Excess Interest"). If any Excess Interest is provided for or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been provided for in this Note, the Loan Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, then in such event: (1) the provisions of this subsection shall govern and control; (2) the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any Excess Interest; (3) any Excess Interest that Lender may have received hereunder shall be, at Lender's option, (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(s) 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 Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction; and (5) the Borrowers shall not have any action against Lender for any damages arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest. 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 this Note or the Loan Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, 6 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. CERTAIN RIGHTS AND WAIVERS. From time to time, without affecting the obligation of the Borrowers or their successors or assigns to pay the outstanding principal balance of this Note, interest thereon and other amounts due hereunder and to observe the covenants contained herein, in the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or in any other Loan Document, without affecting the guaranty of any person or entity for payment of the outstanding principal balance of this Note, without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of any Borrower or its successors or assigns or any guarantors or indemnitor, and without liability on the part of Lender, Lender may, at its option, extend the time for payment of the outstanding principal balance of this Note or any part thereof, reduce the payments thereon, release anyone liable for payment of all or a portion of said indebtedness, accept a renewal of this Note, modify the terms and time of payment of said outstanding principal balance, join in any extension or subordination agreement, release any security given herefor, take or release other or additional security, and agree in writing with the undersigned to modify the rate of interest or period of amortization of this Note or change the amount of the monthly installments payable hereunder. Presentment, notice of dishonor, and protest are hereby waived by the Borrowers and all makers, sureties, guarantors and endorsers hereof. This Note shall be binding upon the Borrowers and their successors and assigns. EACH BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS NOTE, THE INSTRUMENTS, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, ANY OTHER AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. ASSIGNMENT AND TRANSFER OF NOTE. Subject to the provisions of the Loan Agreement, Lender shall have the right to assign or transfer, in whole or in part (including the right to grant participation interests in) any or all of its obligations under this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages and any or all of the other Loan Documents. Lender shall be released of any obligations to the extent that the same are so assigned or transferred, and the rights and obligations of "Lender" hereunder shall become the rights and obligations of the transferee holder. LIMITATION ON RECOURSE. Lender's rights of recourse for the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder are limited in accordance with Article XII of the Loan Agreement. This 7 provision shall not limit any rights of Lender under the Guaranty of Recourse Obligations or the Environmental Indemnity, each dated as of the date hereof. ATTORNEYS' FEES, COSTS OF COLLECTION. The Borrowers shall pay to Lender on demand all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred by Lender in collecting the indebtedness arising hereunder or under any other Loan Documents or secured thereby or otherwise exercising any rights or remedies of Lender hereunder or thereunder or at law or in equity or enforcing the obligations of any parties hereto or thereto, or as a consequence of any breach or default by any Borrower or any guarantor hereunder or thereunder, or otherwise as a consequence of any right evidenced or secured by this Note or the Loan Documents. Without limitation, such costs and expenses to be reimbursed by the Borrowers shall include reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in any bankruptcy case or proceeding and in any appeal. APPLICABLE LAW. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and applicable federal law. TIME OF ESSENCE. Time shall be of the essence as to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Note. If the due date of any payment due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall fall on a day other than a Business Day, the Borrowers shall be required to make such payment on the next succeeding Business Day. JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS. The obligations and liabilities of the Borrowers hereunder shall be joint and several.

R E C I T A L S: A. Pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time, the "LOAN AGREEMENT"), among the Borrowers named therein (each, a "BORROWER", and collectively, "BORROWERS"), and Lender, Lender has agreed to make a loan to Borrowers in the aggregate original principal amount of up to Sixty Three Million Eight Hundred and One Thousand and No/100 Dollars($63,801,000.00) (the "LOAN"), subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement; B. As a condition to Lender's making the Loan, Lender is requiring that Guarantor execute and deliver to Lender this Guaranty; and C. Guarantor hereby acknowledges that Guarantor holds a direct and/or indirect ownership interest in each Borrower and that Guarantor will materially benefit from Lender's agreeing to make the Loan. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth herein and as an inducement for and in consideration of the agreement of Lender to make the Loan pursuant to the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Guarantor hereby agrees, covenants, represents and warrants to Lender as follows: SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS. All capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given such terms in the Loan Agreement. SECTION 2. GUARANTY. (a) Guarantor (but not its members, partners, employees, shareholders, agents, directors or officers) hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally assumes liability for, guarantees payment to Lender of, and agrees to pay, protect, defend, indemnify and save harmless Lender from and against any and all Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrowers (as hereinafter defined). The obligations which are the subject of the guaranty referred to in this Section 2 are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS".

(c) All sums payable to Lender under this Guaranty shall be payable on demand and without reduction for any offset, claim, counterclaim or defense. SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Lender as follows (which representations and warranties shall be given as of the date hereof and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Guaranty): (a) DUE EXECUTION. This Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by Guarantor. (b) ENFORCEABILITY. This Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, or application of general principles of equity in any legal proceeding. (c) NO VIOLATION. The execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of its obligations under this Guaranty do not violate any law, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental body, agency or other instrumentality applicable to Guarantor, or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any mortgage, lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the assets of Guarantor pursuant to the terms of any mortgage, indenture, agreement or instrument to which Guarantor is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound. Guarantor is not in default under any other guaranty which it has provided to Lender. (d) NO LITIGATION. Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.9 to the Loan Agreement, there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or at equity, pending or, to Guarantor's knowledge, threatened against or affecting Guarantor or which involve or could reasonably be expected to involve the validity or enforceability of this Guaranty or which might materially adversely affect the financial condition of Guarantor or the ability of Guarantor to perform any of its obligations under this Guaranty. Guarantor is not in default beyond any applicable grace or cure period with respect to any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority which might materially adversely affect the financial condition of Guarantor or the ability of Guarantor to perform any of its obligations under this Guaranty. (e) CONSENTS. All consents, approvals, orders or authorizations of, or registrations, declarations or filings with, all Governmental Authorities (collectively, the "CONSENTS") that are required in connection with the valid execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty have been obtained and Guarantor agrees that all Consents required in connection with the carrying out or performance of any of Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty will be obtained when required. (f) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION. All financial statements of Guarantor heretofore delivered to Lender fairly present the financial condition of Guarantor as of 2 the respective dates thereof, and no materially adverse change has occurred in the financial conditions reflected therein since the respective dates thereof. None of the aforesaid financial statements or any certificate or statement furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Guarantor in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and none of the representations and warranties in this Guaranty contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein or herein not materially misleading. Guarantor is not insolvent within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law, code or regulation and the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty will not render Guarantor insolvent. SECTION 4. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Guarantor hereby agrees for the benefit of Lender that Guarantor will deliver to Lender each of the financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Loan Agreement. SECTION 5. INTENTIONALLY DELETED. SECTION 6. UNCONDITIONAL CHARACTER OF OBLIGATIONS OF GUARANTOR. (a) The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability, in whole or in part, of the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents or any provision thereof, or the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of the obligations of Borrowers under the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or any other Loan Documents or Guarantor under this Guaranty, or any setoff, counterclaim, and irrespective of any other circumstances which might otherwise limit recourse against Guarantor by Lender or constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety. Lender may enforce the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty by a proceeding at law, in equity or otherwise, independent of any loan foreclosure or similar proceeding or any deficiency action against Borrowers or any other Person at any time, either before or after an action against the Properties or any of them or any part thereof, Borrowers or any other Person. THIS GUARANTY IS A GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE AND NOT MERELY A GUARANTY OF COLLECTION. Guarantor waives diligence, notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, filing of claims with any court, any proceeding to enforce any provision of the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or any other Loan Documents, against Guarantor, Borrowers or any other Person, any right to require a proceeding first against Borrowers or any other Person, or to exhaust any security (including, without limitation, the Properties or any of them or any part thereof) for the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of Borrowers or any other Person, or any protest, presentment, notice of default (except as may be expressly required under the Loan Documents) or other notice or demand whatsoever, and Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees that Guarantor shall not be discharged of its obligations hereunder. (b) The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty, and the rights of Lender to enforce the same by proceedings, whether by action at law, suit in equity or otherwise, shall not be in any way affected by any of the following: 3 (i) any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, receivership, conservatorship, winding up or other similar proceeding involving or affecting any Borrower, any Property or any part thereof, Guarantor or any other Person; (ii) any failure by Lender or any other Person, whether or not without fault on its part, to perform or comply with any of the terms of the Loan Agreement, or any other Loan Documents, or any document or instrument relating thereto; (iii) except (A) with respect to activities occurring after the date of a Permitted Assumption or, (B) activities relating to a Released Property after the date of a Release with respect thereto, the sale, transfer or conveyance of any Property or any interest therein to any Person, whether now or hereafter having or acquiring an interest in any Property or any interest therein and whether or not pursuant to any foreclosure, trustee sale or similar proceeding against any Borrower or any Property or any interest therein; (iv) the conveyance to Lender, any Affiliate of Lender or Lender's nominee of any Property or any interest therein by a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure; (v) the release of any Borrower or any other Person from the performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents by operation of law or otherwise; (vi) the release in whole or in part of any collateral for any or all Guaranteed Obligations or for the Loan or any portion thereof; or (vii) the exercise by Mezzanine Lender of any remedies made available to Mezzanine Lender pursuant to the terms of the Mezzanine Loan Documents, including, without limitation, foreclosure or similar remedies under any pledge agreement encumbering Mezzanine Borrower's interest in any General Partner, any Member, and/or any Borrower except with respect to actions taken by the Mezzanine Lender following the Mezzanine Lender succeeding to the interests of the Mezzanine Borrowers in and to the Borrowers. (c) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably waives all defenses in an action brought by Lender to enforce this Guaranty based on claims of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise and all setoffs, reductions, or impairments, whether arising hereunder or otherwise. (d) Lender may deal with Borrowers and Affiliates of Borrowers in the same manner and as freely as if this Guaranty did not exist and shall be entitled, among other things, to grant Borrowers or any other Person such extension or extensions of time to perform any act or acts as may be deemed advisable by Lender, at any time and from time to time, without terminating, affecting or impairing the validity of this Guaranty or the obligations of Guarantor hereunder. (e) No compromise, alteration, amendment, modification, extension, renewal, release or other change of, or waiver, consent, delay, omission, failure to act or other action with 4 respect to, any liability or obligation under or with respect to, or of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of, the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents or any amendment, modification or other change of any legal requirement shall in any way alter, impair or affect any of the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, and Guarantor agrees that if any Loan Documents are modified with Lender's consent, the Guaranteed Obligations shall automatically be deemed modified to include such modifications. (f) Lender may proceed to protect and enforce any or all of its rights under this Guaranty by suit in equity or action at law, whether for the specific performance of any covenants or agreements contained in this Guaranty or otherwise, or to take any action authorized or permitted under applicable law, and shall be entitled to require and enforce the performance of all acts and things required to be performed hereunder by Guarantor. Each and every remedy of Lender shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. (g) No waiver shall be deemed to have been made by Lender of any rights hereunder unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender, and any such waiver shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific matter involved and shall in no way impair the rights of Lender or the obligations of Guarantor to Lender in any other respect or at any other time. (h) At the option of Lender, Guarantor may be joined in any action or proceeding commenced by Lender against Borrowers in connection with or based upon the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or any other Loan Documents and recovery may be had against Guarantor in such action or proceeding or in any independent action or proceeding against Guarantor to the extent of Guarantor's liability hereunder, without any requirement that Lender first assert, prosecute or exhaust any remedy or claim against Borrowers or any other Person, or any security for the obligations of Borrowers or any other Person. (i) Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment is made by Borrowers or Guarantor to Lender and such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Lender (as determined by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion) upon insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, receivership, conservatorship, winding up or other similar proceeding involving or affecting any Borrower or Guarantor, all as though such payment had not been made. (j) In the event that Guarantor shall advance or become obligated to pay any sums under this Guaranty or in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or in the event that for any reason whatsoever any Borrower or any subsequent owner of any Property or any part thereof is now, or shall hereafter become, indebted to Guarantor, Guarantor agrees that (i) the amount of such sums and of such indebtedness and all interest thereon shall at all times be subordinate as to the lien, the time of payment and in all other respects to all sums, including principal and interest and other amounts, at any time owed to Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or receive payment thereof until all principal, interest and other sums due pursuant to the Loan Documents have been paid in full. Nothing herein contained is intended or shall be construed to give Guarantor any right of subrogation in or under the Loan Documents or any right to participate in any way therein, or in the right, title or interest of Lender 5 in or to any collateral for the Loan, notwithstanding any payments made by Guarantor under this Guaranty, until the actual and irrevocable receipt by Lender of payment in full of all principal, interest and other sums due with respect to the Loan or otherwise payable under the Loan Documents. If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when any such sums due and owing to Lender shall not have been fully paid, such amount shall be paid by Guarantor to Lender for credit and application against such sums due and owing to Lender. The foregoing shall not prohibit Borrowers from using the proceeds of the Loan for any permitted use under the Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, the making of distributions to Guarantor. (k) Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall survive a foreclosure, delivery of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the exercise of any power of sale or similar proceeding involving any Property or any part thereof and the exercise by Lender of any of all of its remedies pursuant to the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall survive for a period of two (2) years following payment in full of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, provided, however, in the event that any Guaranteed Obligations or liabilities of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall have arisen prior to the expiration of such period, then in any such event the foregoing survival period shall not apply and the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder shall survive. SECTION 7. ENTIRE AGREEMENT/AMENDMENTS. THIS INSTRUMENT REPRESENTS THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF. THE TERMS OF THIS GUARANTY SHALL NOT BE WAIVED, ALTERED, MODIFIED, AMENDED, SUPPLEMENTED OR TERMINATED IN ANY MANNER WHATSOEVER EXCEPT BY WRITTEN INSTRUMENT SIGNED BY LENDER AND GUARANTOR. SECTION 8. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor, and its successors and assigns, may not be assigned or delegated by Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns.

All references to "Lender" hereunder shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of Lender and the parties hereto acknowledge that actions taken by Lender hereunder may be taken by Lender's agents and by the agents of the successors and assigns of Lender.

Nothing in this Section 9, however, shall affect the right of Lender to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of 6 Lender to bring any suit, action or proceeding against Guarantor or its property in the courts of any other jurisdictions. SECTION 10. SECTION HEADINGS. The headings of the sections and paragraphs of this Guaranty have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way define, modify, limit or amplify any of the terms or provisions hereof. SECTION 11. SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Guaranty which may be determined by any competent authority to be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Guarantor hereby waives any provision of law which renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect. SECTION 12. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. EACH OF GUARANTOR AND LENDER HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT OF TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. SECTION 13. OTHER GUARANTIES; SINGULAR AND PLURAL; JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration for, and as an inducement to, Lender's making the Loans and the Guarantor Loan, and for other good and valuable consideration the legal sufficiency of which and receipt thereof are hereby acknowledged, and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Guarantor Loan Agreement, the Guarantor Loan Documents, the Loan Agreements, the Notes, the Mortgages or any of the other Loan Documents, but subject to the provisions of Article XII of the Guarantor Loan Agreement, Lender and Guarantors do hereby agree as follows: 1. Guarantors, on behalf of themselves and their successors and assigns (collectively, "Successors") do hereby absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably and personally: (i) guaranty to Lender the full and prompt payment and performance when due of the Loans and all other Obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Agreements and (ii) agree to reimburse Lender for, and hold Lender harmless from and against, any and all losses, damages, claims, expenses, deficiencies, liabilities and costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred, suffered or sustained by Lender and/or its successors and assigns as a result of or arising out of, in connection with or resulting from, the enforcement of this Agreement against Guarantors (the obligations of Guarantors under clauses (i) and (ii) above being referred to hereinafter, collectively, as "Guarantors' Obligations"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything else to the contrary contained herein, in the event that any of the Guarantors shall become an Excluded Borrower and the Guarantor Loan shall become an Excluded Loan pursuant to Lender's election under Section 2.12(G) of the Guarantor Loan Agreement to cause any of the Loans to no longer be secured by the Guarantor Properties, this Guaranty shall automatically terminate and shall be of no further force or effect. 2. It is agreed that the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be primary and this Agreement shall be enforceable against Guarantors and their Successors without the necessity for any suit or proceeding of any kind or nature whatsoever brought by Lender against Borrowers or their respective successors or assigns or any other party or against any security for the payment of the Guarantors' Obligations and without the necessity of any notice of non-payment or non-observance or of any notice of acceptance of this Agreement or of any notice of demand to which Guarantors might otherwise be entitled (including, without limitation, diligence, presentment, notice of maturity, extension of time, protest, notice of dishonor or default, change in nature or form of the Guarantors' Obligations, acceptance of further security, release of further security, imposition or agreement arrived at as to the amount of or the terms of the Guarantors' Obligations, notice of adverse change in Borrowers' financial condition and any other fact that might materially increase the risk to Guarantors), all of which Guarantors hereby expressly waive. Guarantors hereby expressly agree that the validity of this Agreement and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall in no way be terminated, affected, diminished, modified or impaired by reason of the assertion of or the failure to assert by Lender against Borrowers, or their successors or assigns, any of the rights or remedies reserved to Lender pursuant to the provisions of the Guarantor Loan Agreement, the Loan Agreements, the Notes, the Mortgages or any other Loan Documents. 3. Guarantors waive, and covenant and agree that they will not at any time insist upon, plead or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any and all appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshaling-of-assets or redemption laws, or right of homestead or exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, that may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance by Guarantors of their obligations under, or the enforcement by Lender of, this Agreement. Guarantors further covenant and agree not to set up or claim any defense, counterclaim, cross-claim, offset, set-off, right of recoupment, or other objection of any kind to any action, suit or proceeding in law, equity or otherwise, or to any demand or claim that may be instituted or made by Lender hereunder other than the 2 Cross-Guaranty (Fixed 1) defense of the actual timely performance of Guarantors' Obligations hereunder. Guarantors represent, warrant and agree that, as of the date hereof, their obligations under this Agreement are not subject to any counterclaims, cross-claims, rights of recoupment, offsets or affirmative or other defenses of any kind against Lender. 4. Guarantors agree that any notice or directive given at any time by Guarantors to Lender that is inconsistent with any waiver contained in this Agreement shall be void and may be ignored by Lender, and, in addition, may not be pleaded or introduced as evidence in any litigation relating to this Agreement for the reason that such pleading or introduction would be at variance with the written terms of this Agreement, unless Lender has specifically agreed otherwise in a writing, signed by a duly authorized officer. Guarantors specifically acknowledge and agree that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the Loan transaction and that, but for this Agreement and such waivers, Lender would not make the Loans to Borrowers. 5. The provisions of this Agreement are for the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between Borrowers and Lender, the obligations of Borrowers under the Loan Agreements, the Notes, the Mortgages or any of the other Loan Documents. 6. This Agreement shall be a continuing guaranty and the liability of Guarantors hereunder shall in no way be terminated, affected, modified, impaired or diminished (to the extent permitted by law) by reason of the happening, from time to time, of any of the following, although without notice or the further consent of Guarantors: (a) any assignment, amendment, modification or waiver of or change in any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of the Guarantor Loan Agreement, the Loan Agreements, the Notes, the Mortgages or any of the other Loan Documents or the invalidity or unenforceability of any of the foregoing; or (b) any extension of time that may be granted by Lender to Borrowers, Guarantors or Guarantors' Successors; or (c) any action that Lender or Borrowers may take or fail to take under or in respect of any of the Loan Documents or by reason of any waiver of, or failure to enforce any of the rights, remedies, powers or privileges available to Lender under this Agreement or available to Lender at law, equity or otherwise, or any action on the part of Lender or Borrowers granting indulgence or extension in any form whatsoever; or (d) any dealing, transaction, matter or thing occurring between Lender, Borrowers, Guarantors or Guarantors' Successors; or (e) any sale, exchange, release, or other disposition of any property pledged, Mortgaged or conveyed, or any property in which Lender has been granted a lien or security interest to secure any indebtedness of Borrowers to Lender; or (f) any release of any person or entity who may be liable in any manner for the payment and collection of any amounts owed by Borrowers to Lender (including the other Guarantors); or (g) the application of any sums by whomsoever paid or however realized to any amounts owing by Borrowers to Lender in such manner as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion; or 3 Cross-Guaranty (Fixed 1) (h) any Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Guarantor Loan Agreement and the Loan Agreements), whether or not Lender has exercised any of its rights and remedies as set forth in the Guarantor Loan Agreement or the Mortgages upon the happening of any such Event of Default; or (i) Borrowers' and/or Guarantors' voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale of all or substantially all of their respective assets and liabilities, appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, sequestrator or conservator for all or any part of Borrowers' or Guarantors' assets, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment, or the commencement of other similar proceedings affecting Borrowers or Guarantors or any of the assets of either of them, including, without limitation, (A) the release or discharge of Borrowers from the payment and performance of their obligations under any of the Loan Documents by operation of law, or (B) the impairment, limitation or modification of the liability of Borrowers, their partners or Guarantors in bankruptcy, or of any remedy for the enforcement of the Guarantors' Obligations, under any of the Loan Documents, or Guarantors' liability under this Agreement, resulting from the operation of any present or future provisions of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or other present or future federal, state or applicable statute of law or from the decision in any court; or (j) any change in or termination of the ownership interest of Guarantors in Borrowers (whether direct or indirect); or (k) any conveyance of the Mortgaged Properties, whether or not pursuant to a foreclosure sale, a deed in lieu of foreclosure, a transfer through bankruptcy, or otherwise. 7. Guarantors acknowledge that this Guaranty and Guarantors' Obligations are and shall at all times continue to be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable in all respects, and shall at all times be valid and enforceable irrespective of any other agreement or circumstances of any nature whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a defense to this Guaranty or the obligations of any other person or party (including, without limitation, Borrower or any other guarantor) relating to this Guaranty or the obligations of Guarantors hereunder. 8. Guarantors agree that if at any time all or any part of any payment at any time received by Lender from Borrowers or Guarantors under or with respect to this Agreement is or must be rescinded or returned by Lender for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrowers or Guarantors), then Guarantors' Obligations hereunder shall, to the extent of the payment rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such previous receipt by Lender, and Guarantors' Obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or reinstated, as the case may be, as to such payment, as though such previous payment to Lender had never been made. 9. Until repayment of the Indebtedness (as such term is defined in the Guarantor Loan Agreement and the Loan Agreements) and satisfaction of all of the obligations under the Guarantor Loan Agreement, Guarantors and each of them (a) shall have no right of subrogation against Borrowers, general partner of any Borrower that is a limited partnership or any other Guarantor by reason of any payments or acts of performance by a Guarantor in compliance with the obligations of a Guarantor hereunder; (b) shall have no right of indemnity, contribution, or any other right or cause of action whatsoever under law or equity against any other Guarantor by reason of any payments or acts of performance by a Guarantor in compliance with the obligations of a Guarantor hereunder; (c) hereby waive any right to enforce any remedy that any Guarantors now or hereafter shall have against Borrowers, general partner of any Borrower that is a limited partnership or any other Guarantor by reason of any one 4 Cross-Guaranty (Fixed 1) or more payments or acts of performance in compliance with the obligations of a Guarantor hereunder; (d) shall subordinate any liability or indebtedness of Borrowers, general partner of any Borrower that is a limited partnership or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor or any affiliate of a Guarantor to the obligations of Borrowers, general partner of any Borrower that is a limited partnership or Guarantor to Lender under the Loan Documents; and (e) shall not file, assert or receive payment on any claim, whether now existing or hereafter arising, against Borrowers, general partner of any Borrower that is a limited partnership or any Guarantor in the event of the commencement of a case by or against Borrowers, general partner of any Borrower that is a limited partnership or any Guarantor under federal or state insolvency laws. 10. Guarantors represent and warrant to Lender, with the knowledge that Lender is relying upon the same, as follows: (a) Guarantors are solvent and have the legal right to enter into this Agreement and to perform their obligations under the terms hereof; (b) to the best of Guarantors' knowledge, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or threatened against or affecting Guarantors at law, in equity, in admiralty or before any arbitrator or any governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality (domestic or foreign) that is likely to result in any material adverse change in the property, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of Guarantors or that is likely to impair materially the ability of Guarantors to perform their obligations under this Agreement; and (c) all financial statements that have heretofore been furnished by Guarantors to Lender in connection with this Agreement, are true, correct and complete; and fairly present the financial condition of Guarantors, all as of the respective dates thereof. 11. Guarantors and Lender acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection and enforcement in respect of any of the Guarantors' Obligations. 12. Lender may freely assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement, but any such assignment shall be made only to the subsequent holder of any of the Notes and no such assignment shall increase Guarantors' Obligations or diminish its rights hereunder. In the event of any such assignment, the consent of Guarantors shall not be required for any such assignment and failure to give notice of such assignment shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any such assignment or subject Lender to any liability and Guarantors shall continue to remain bound by and obligated to perform under and with respect to this Agreement. Guarantors shall not assign any of their obligations under this Agreement without the prior consent of the Lender. 13. The representations, warranties and obligations of Guarantor set forth in this Agreement shall survive until this Agreement shall terminate in accordance with the terms hereof. 14. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements relating to such subject matter and may not be modified, amended, supplemented or discharged except by a written agreement signed by Guarantors and Lender. This Agreement also may be discharged by full performance of the Guarantors' Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof, or as otherwise provided herein. 15. If all or any portion of any provision contained in this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, such provision or portion 5 Cross-Guaranty (Fixed 1) thereof shall be deemed stricken and severed from this Agreement and the remaining provision and portions thereof shall continue in full force and effect. 16. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under or in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given or made (i) three (3) days after the date such notice is mailed, (ii) on the next Business Day if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, (iii) on the date of delivery by personal delivery and (iv) on the date of transmission if sent by telefax during business hours on a Business Day (otherwise the next Business Day).

This Agreement shall be binding upon Guarantors and their Successors and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns. 18. The failure of Lender to enforce any right or remedy hereunder, or promptly to enforce any such right or remedy, shall not constitute a waiver thereof, nor give rise to any estoppel against Lender, nor excuse Guarantors from their obligations hereunder. Any waiver of any such right or remedy to be enforceable against Lender must be expressly set forth in writing signed by Lender. 19. (a) Any suit initiated by Lender against Guarantors or in connection with or arising, directly or indirectly, out of or relating to, this Agreement (an "Action") may, at Lender's option, be brought in any state or federal court in the State of New York, or any state or federal court in which the property is located, having jurisdiction over the subject matter hereof. Guarantors hereby submit themselves to the jurisdiction of any such court and agree that service of process against Guarantors in any such action may be effected by any means permissible under federal law or under the laws of the state in which such Action is brought. Guarantors hereby agree that insofar as is permitted under applicable law, this consent to personal jurisdiction shall be self-operative and no further instrument or action, other than service of process in one of the manners specified in this Guaranty, or as otherwise permitted by law, shall be necessary in order to confer jurisdiction upon Guarantors. 6 Cross-Guaranty (Fixed 1) (b) Guarantors agree that, provided that service of process is effected upon Guarantors in any manner permitted by law, Guarantors irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, (i) any objection that Guarantors may have or may hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any Action brought in any court as provided for by this Agreement, (ii) any claim that any Action brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, or (iii) any claim that Guarantors are not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court. Guarantors agree that, provided that service of process is effected upon Guarantors in one of the manners specified in this Guaranty or as otherwise permitted by law, a final judgment from which Guarantors have not appealed or may not appeal in any Action brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon Guarantors and may, so far as permitted under applicable law, be enforced in the courts of any state or any federal court or in any other courts to the jurisdiction of which it is subject, by a suit upon such judgment and that Guarantors shall not assert any defense, counterclaim or set-off in any such suit upon such judgment. (c) To the extent that Guarantors have or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment before judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to Guarantors or Guarantors' property, Guarantors hereby irrevocably waive such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement. (d) As a further inducement to Lender's making of the Loans to Borrowers, and in consideration thereof, Lender and Guarantors each covenant and agree that in any action or proceeding brought on, under or by virtue of this Agreement, Lender and Guarantors each shall and do hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waive trial by jury. (e) Guarantors hereby further covenant and agree to and with Lender that Guarantors may be joined in any action against Borrowers in connection with the Guarantor Loan Agreement, the Loan Agreements, the Notes, the Mortgages, or any of the other Loan Documents, solely with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. (f) Guarantors covenant and agree to indemnify and save Lender harmless of and from, and defend it against, all losses, costs, liabilities, expenses, damages or claims suffered by reason of Guarantors' failure to perform its obligations hereunder. 20. All of Lender's rights and remedies under the Guarantor Loan Agreement, the Loan Agreements, the Notes, the Mortgages or any of the other Loan Documents or under this Agreement are intended to be distinct, separate and cumulative and no such right or remedy therein or herein mentioned is intended to be in exclusion of or a waiver of any other right or remedy available to Lender. 21. Guarantors hereby consent that from time to time, before or after any default by Borrower, with or without further notice to or assent from Guarantors, any security at any time held by or available to Lender for any obligation of Borrowers, or any security at any time held by or available to Lender for any obligation of any other person or party secondarily or otherwise liable for all or any portion of the Loans, may be exchanged, surrendered or released and any obligation of Borrowers, or of any such other person or party, may be changed, altered, renewed, extended, continued, surrendered, compromised, waived or released in whole or in part, or any default with respect thereto waived, and Lender may fail to set off and may release, in whole or in part, any balance of any deposit account or credit on its books in favor of Borrowers, or of any such other person or party, and may extend further credit in any manner whatsoever to Borrowers, and generally deal with Borrowers or any such security or other person or party as Lender may see fit; and Guarantors shall remain bound under this Agreement 7 Cross-Guaranty (Fixed 1) notwithstanding any such exchange, surrender, release, change, alteration, renewal, extension, continuance, compromise, waiver, action, inaction, extension of further credit or other dealing. This Agreement is independent of, and in addition to, all collateral granted, pledged or assigned under the Loan Documents. 22. The terms of this Agreement have been negotiated, and this Agreement has been executed and delivered in the State of New York, and it is the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of such State. 23. This Agreement may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought. 24. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, which together shall constitute the same instrument. 25. All representations, warranties, covenants (both affirmative and negative) and all other obligations under this Guaranty shall be the joint and several obligation of each of the Guarantors and any default under this Guaranty by any Guarantor shall be deemed a default by all such Guarantors.

A. Hotel Manager has entered into a certain Management Agreement (each a "CONTRACT" and collectively, the "CONTRACTS") with each Borrower, a true, correct and complete copy of which has been delivered to Lender on or prior to the date hereof and the form of which is attached hereto as EXHIBIT A, providing for the performance by Hotel Manager of certain management obligations more particularly described therein with respect to the management and operation of the property as more particularly described therein (each, a "PROPERTY" and collectively, the "PROPERTIES"). B. This Agreement is being executed in order to amend each Contract, to conditionally assign each Borrower's interest therein to Lender, and to subordinate Hotel Manager's rights to payment under the Contracts to Lender's lien on the Properties in connection with Lender's making a loan to Borrowers and certain other borrowers (collectively, the "MORTGAGE BORROWERS") in the original principal amount of up to Sixty Three Million Eight Hundred and One Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($63,801,000.00) (the "LOAN") pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of even date herewith (as amended, modified or restated, the "LOAN AGREEMENT"), among Mortgage Borrowers and Lender. The Loan is evidenced by a certain Promissory Note, dated of even date herewith (as amended, modified or restated, and any replacements or substitutes therefor, (by means of multiple notes or otherwise), the "NOTE"), made by Mortgage Borrowers in favor of Lender and is secured by, among other things, those certain Mortgages/Deeds of Trust/Deeds to Secure Debt, Assignments of Leases and Rents and Security Agreements, dated as of even date herewith (as amended, modified, restated, spread or consolidated, collectively, the "SECURITY INSTRUMENT"), in favor of Lender (the Note, the Security Instrument, the Loan Agreement, this Agreement and all other documents executed in connection with the Loan are collectively referred to as the "LOAN DOCUMENTS"). All capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Loan Agreement, a copy of which Hotel Manager hereby acknowledges having received. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Hotel Manager and Borrowers hereby represent, warrant and covenant to Lender as follows: 1. As additional collateral security for the Loan, each Borrower hereby conditionally transfers, sets over and assigns to Lender all of such Borrower's right, title and interest in and to its Contract, said transfer and assignment to automatically become a present, unconditional assignment, at Lender's option, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default by Borrowers under any of the Loan Documents. 2. Hotel Manager hereby agrees that each Contract, all rights, interests and privileges of Hotel Manager thereunder, and all management fees and other payment obligations of each Borrower to Hotel Manager for services rendered by Hotel Manager for the management and operation of its Property, as such services are more particularly described in such Contract, are hereby subordinated to the Loan Documents and the liens in favor of Lender provided for therein, and to all rights of Lender to receive payment from Borrowers under the Note and all other amounts which may be due Lender under the Loan Documents. Hotel Manager recognizes and agrees that so long as the Note is being paid in strict accordance with its terms and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will by virtue of payments to Hotel Manager occur, Hotel Manager shall, subject to the requirements of the Loan Documents, including any such requirements governing management and application of the Properties and Borrower revenues and cash flow, be entitled to receive payments provided for under such Contract in accordance with the terms thereof. Hotel Manager hereby releases, discharges and waives any and all liens, claims, demands of any kind or nature, against each Property, either now or in the future, arising from the services provided by Hotel Manager for the management and operation of such Property. 3. In the event that such Borrower defaults under the terms of its Contract, Hotel Manager agrees that before exercising any rights or remedies with respect thereto, it will notify Lender of such default. Upon Lender's request, Hotel Manager will continue to perform under such Contract until such time as Lender may elect to terminate such Contract, provided that Hotel Manager shall continue to receive all fees payable to it under such Contract. Subject to the foregoing, Hotel Manager agrees that it shall not be entitled to receive any management fee or other fee, commission or other amount payable under the Contract or otherwise for and during any period of time that any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, provided that Hotel Manager shall not be obligated to return or refund to Lender any management fee or other fee, commission or other amount already received by Hotel Manager prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default, and to which Hotel Manager was entitled under paragraph 2 above. In all events, Hotel Manager recognizes that the maximum amount that shall be due and payable under each Contract is the amount stated therein (such amount being adequate to complete the services called for in such Contract), and that Hotel Manager will not claim any incidental, consequential, or exemplary damages of any nature as a condition to completing its performance under the Contract. 4. In the event that (a) Hotel Manager becomes insolvent, or (b) an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, or (c) any default occurs by Hotel Manager under the Management Agreement beyond the expiration of any notice and cure periods, or (d) any other event occurs which, under the terms of the Loan Documents, entitles Lender to direct Borrower to replace Hotel Manager, Lender may exercise its rights under the Loan Documents and direct any Borrower to terminate its Contract and/or to replace Hotel Manager with a management company chosen by such Borrower and reasonably acceptable to Lender. Upon receiving notice 2 of any such election, Hotel Manager shall abide by such direction to terminate and cooperate with any replacement manager approved or designated by Lender. No termination fee or other compensation shall be due or owing under such Contract as a result of any such termination other than accrued unpaid fees. 5. Without limiting the foregoing, subject to the second sentence of paragraph 3 hereof, in the event Lender forecloses or otherwise succeeds to the rights of any Borrower with respect to any Property, Lender shall have the option upon written notice to Hotel Manager delivered within thirty (30) days following foreclosure by Lender or other acquisition of such Property by Lender, either to (a) terminate the applicable Contract without any obligation or liability of Lender to pay the termination fees, if any; or (b) continue such Contract in effect upon all of the terms and provisions provided in such Contract, except that Lender shall have no obligation to pay any sums due and owing under the Contract as of the date of foreclosure or other acquisition of such Property, and Lender shall have the right after it elects to continue such Contract under subparagraph (b) hereof to terminate such Contract without cause upon thirty (30) days written notice to Hotel Manager without any obligation or liability of Lender to pay the termination fees, if any other than accrued unpaid fees. Hotel Manager acknowledges and agrees with Lender that Lender has not assumed any obligations or liabilities of such Borrower to Hotel Manager under such Contract. If Lender chooses not to continue any Contract following a foreclosure or other acquisition of any Property, the only compensation from Lender for which Hotel Manager shall be entitled under such Contract shall be for the period commencing with the date of such foreclosure or other acquisition and ending upon the subsequent termination by Lender of such Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in the event Lender forecloses or otherwise succeeds to the rights of any Borrower with respect to its Property, upon Lender's request, Hotel Manager agrees to transfer and assign to Lender, or its designee, to the extent possible, all applicable licenses (including, without limitation, each liquor license and beer permit), permits and approvals required for the use, occupancy, operation and maintenance of each of the Property and held by or in the name of Hotel Manager, and, if requested by Lender and permitted by applicable law, enter into such reasonable concession or use agreements with Lender or its designee (subject to appropriate indemnification) as are reasonably necessary to allow Lender or its designee to offer, or cause to be offered, liquor and beer for sale at such Property. For this purpose, Hotel Manager constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the assignment of each of the items referenced in the preceding sentence in the name of Hotel Manager pursuant to this paragraph 5. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. 6. Hotel Manager agrees (a) not to resign as Hotel Manager without ninety (90) days prior written notice to Lender, and (b) not to amend any Contract in any material respect without Lender's prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 7. Hotel Manager acknowledges and agrees that any and all rents, room rents, credit card receipts, other receipts, profits or other sums, including any management fees in excess of the management fees to which Hotel Manager is entitled pursuant to paragraph 2 hereof, and receipts derived from the sale of alcoholic beverages (collectively herein called "PROPERTY PROCEEDS") collected or received by Hotel Manager from the Properties are subject to 3 a security interest of Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, and shall be collected and held by Hotel Manager in trust for the benefit of the applicable Borrower and Lender. Any such Property Proceeds shall be deposited by Hotel Manager within two (2) Business Days of receipt into a deposit account (the "DEPOSIT ACCOUNT") in the name of the Lender and identified in that certain Deposit Account Agreement or other similar agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, modified, replaced or supplemented from time to time, each, a "DEPOSIT ACCOUNT AGREEMENT") among the applicable Borrower, Lender, Hotel Manager and the bank named therein. Upon transfer of any such Property Proceeds to Hotel Manager from the Lock Box Account (as defined in that certain Cash Management Agreement dated as of even date herewith (as amended, restated, modified, replaced or supplemented from time to time, the "CASH MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT"), among Mortgage Borrowers, Lender, Hotel Manager and Wachovia Bank, National Association) as directed by the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Cash Management Agreement, such Property Proceeds shall be used by Hotel Manager for proper expenses and costs of managing and operating the applicable Property as permitted under the applicable Contract, subject, in all instances, to compliance with the Operating Budget and FF&E Budget then in effect and limitations on distributions to Borrowers, each as more fully described in the Loan Agreement. Hotel Manager hereby disclaims any and all interests in the Deposit Account, the Lock Box Account (and any Sub-Accounts thereof), the Property Operating Account and in any of the Property Proceeds. Upon written notice from Lender that an Event of Default has occurred under the Loan Agreement and/or other Loan Documents, Hotel Manager agrees to apply Property Proceeds as instructed by Lender. 8. Hotel Manager represents and warrants that (a) a true, correct and complete copy of each Contract has been delivered to Lender on or prior to the date hereof, the form of which is attached hereto as EXHIBIT A, (b) each Contract is in full force and effect and has not been modified, amended or assigned, except in favor of Lender or its predecessor-in-interest (c) neither Hotel Manager nor, to Hotel Manager's knowledge, any Borrower is in default under any of the terms, covenants or provisions of its Contract, and Hotel Manager knows of no event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a default under any Contract, (d) Hotel Manager has no knowledge of and has not commenced any action or given or received any notice for the purpose of terminating any Contract, and (e) all management fees, commissions and other sums due and payable to the Hotel Manager under each Contract as of the date hereof have been paid in full. 9. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract entered into pursuant to the laws of the State of New York and shall in all respects be governed, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 10.

Borrower and Lender have entered into a certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified or restated from time to time, the "LOAN AGREEMENT"), pursuant to which Lender has agreed to make a loan to Borrower as more particularly described below. Capitalized terms used herein and not herein defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Loan Agreement. C. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Lender is making a Loan to Borrower in the aggregate original principal amount of up $63,801,000 (the "LOAN"). The Loan is evidenced by a certain Promissory Note, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified or restated from time to time, the "NOTE") and secured by, inter alia, those certain Mortgages/ Deeds of Trust/Deeds to Secure Debt, Assignments of Leases and Rents and Security Agreements, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified or restated from time to time, collectively, the "SECURITY INSTRUMENT"), with respect to the Property and Improvements.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the sum of Ten Dollars ($10) and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Borrower hereby absolutely grants a first lien on and security interest in, and hereby assigns, transfers and sets over to Lender as additional security for the payment of the Loan and the observance and performance by the Borrower of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Loan Documents on the part of the Borrower to be observed or performed, all of the Borrower's right, title and interest in and to the following: (a) to the extent assignable, all of Borrower's right, title and interest in, to and under the documents, contracts, instruments, plans, permits, licenses (including, without limitation, all liquor licenses and other beverage permits), approvals, applications, trade names and trademarks (including, without limitation, any licenses of, or agreements to license, trade names or trademarks now or hereafter entered into by or on behalf of Borrower or Manager in connection with the operation of the Property), insurance policies, equipment leases, purchase and sale agreements, and other instruments described or existing with respect to the Property or any portion thereof, and any amendments or modifications thereto, any replacements thereof executed during the term of the Note and any other similar documents or instruments with respect to the Property or any portion thereof, now in existence or hereafter executed by Borrower or now in the possession of Borrower or hereafter obtained by Borrower (collectively, the "DOCUMENTS"); (b) to the extent assignable, all rights, powers, privileges, claims, remedies and causes of action of every kind which Borrower now has or may in the future have with respect to or by reason of its interest in the Documents; and (c) to the extent assignable, any and all proceeds (including non-cash proceeds) of any of the foregoing (the items enumerated in the preceding subparagraphs (a) and (b) and in this subparagraph (c) being hereinafter collectively referred to as the "COLLATERAL"). 1. This Assignment is given to secure the obligations of Borrower under and in respect of (a) the Note and (b) the other Loan Documents. The parties intend that this Assignment shall be a present, actual, absolute and unconditional assignment and shall, immediately upon execution, give Lender the right to assume Borrower's interest in the Collateral; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall have a license to utilize the Collateral in accordance with the terms thereof. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under any of the Loan Documents, Borrower's license mentioned in the immediately preceding sentence shall cease and terminate, without the execution of any further instrument or document or the taking of any other act on the part of Lender, and in such event, subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender shall be entitled to utilize the Collateral in Borrower's place and stead, in the name of Borrower or otherwise, and in furtherance thereof, subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender may enter upon the Property and take possession of the Property by its officers, agents or employees, or by a court-appointed receiver, and for the operation, protection, repair and maintenance of the Property, and in connection therewith, Lender shall be entitled to take possession of and use all books of account and financial records of Borrower and its property managers or representatives relating to the Property. 2. Neither this Assignment nor any action or inaction on the part of Lender shall constitute an assumption on the part of Lender of any duty or obligation with respect to the Collateral, nor shall Lender have any duty or obligation to make any payment to be made by Borrower under the Collateral, or to present or file any claim, or to take any other action to -2- collect or enforce the payment of any amounts or the performance of any obligations which have been assigned to Lender or to which it may be entitled hereunder at any time or times. No action or inaction on the part of Lender shall adversely affect or limit in any way the rights of Lender hereunder or under the Collateral, and Lender shall not incur any liability on account of any action taken (or not taken) by it or on its behalf in connection with the Collateral in good faith, whether or not the same shall prove to be improper, inadequate or invalid, in whole or in part. 3. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses and damages which Lender may incur by reason of this Assignment and any actions of Lender taken (or not taken) in connection with the Collateral, and from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Lender by reason of any alleged obligations to be performed or discharged by Lender by reason of this Assignment, and the amount thereof, including reasonable costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, together with interest on such amount, at the Default Rate under the Note from the date such costs, expenses and fees were incurred by Lender to the date of payment thereof to Lender by Borrower, shall be secured hereby and by the other Loan Documents, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender therefor within twenty (20) days after demand, and upon the failure of Borrower to do so, the same shall be deemed an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement for which Lender shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights and remedies provided therein or at law or in equity; provided, however, that in no event shall Borrower be required to indemnify or hold harmless Lender for any liabilities, losses or damages resulting from Lender's bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. It is further understood that this Assignment shall not operate to constitute Lender as a lender in possession of the Property, or to place responsibility for the control, care, management or repair of the Improvements upon Lender, nor shall it operate to make Lender responsible or liable (as to Borrower) for any waste committed with respect to the Property by any party, or for any Hazardous Material placed upon or found at the Property, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Improvements or for any negligence in the management, up-keep, repair or control of the Improvements resulting in loss, injury, death or damage to any contractor, sub-contractor, licensee, invitee, employee, or other party, or for any other thing or matter whatsoever. 4. Borrower shall remain liable to, and shall, perform all of its obligations under and with respect to the Collateral and shall, at its sole cost and expense, enforce the Collateral in the ordinary course of business and comply in all material respects with all of its obligations under the Collateral and all the terms thereof. Borrower shall give Lender prompt notice of any material default by any party under the Collateral. So long as (a) Borrower is acting in the ordinary course of business, and (b) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under any of the Loan Documents, except as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement, Borrower may alter, amend, extend, modify, change, cancel or terminate any of the Collateral, provided that such alterations, amendments, extensions, modifications, changes, cancellations and terminations, taken as a whole, are not likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and, except as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement, Borrower may enter into new Collateral on commercially reasonable terms without Lender's prior written consent in each instance; provided, however, that Borrower shall provide Lender with copies of any such alterations, amendments, extensions, modifications, changes, cancellations, and terminations of -3- the Collateral upon request of Lender unless otherwise required to be provided pursuant to the Loan Agreement. 5. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents, Lender shall be entitled to all of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges available to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code in any jurisdiction whose laws may apply and this Assignment shall constitute a direction to and full authority to any person or entity which has contracted with or is a party to any of the Documents (collectively, the "CONTRACTING PARTIES", and individually, a "CONTRACTING PARTY") to perform its obligations under the Documents for the benefit of Lender without proof to any Contracting Party of the default of Borrower. In addition, Borrower agrees that it shall, promptly upon request of Lender following such Event of Default, execute and deliver notices to the Contracting Parties directing that future performance of such Contracting Parties' obligations be made at the direction of Lender. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each of the Contracting Parties to rely upon and comply with any notice or demand by Lender for the performance by any such Contracting Party of its obligations under any Document for the benefit of Lender, and no Contracting Party shall have any right or duty to inquire whether an Event of Default has actually occurred, and Borrower shall have no right to countermand its authorization herein to the Contracting Parties to perform for the benefit of Lender. 6. Borrower represents and warrants that it has full right, power and authority, pursuant to its certificate of limited partnership and limited partnership agreement, certificate of formation and limited liability company agreement, or certification of incorporation and by-laws, as the case may be, to assign the Collateral assigned hereby and that (a) to Borrower's knowledge, the Documents in existence on the date hereof, are in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms, (b) Borrower has delivered to Lender true and complete copies of the material Documents in existence as of the date hereof, (c) neither the Collateral nor any part thereof has been assigned, pledged or encumbered by Borrower except pursuant to this Assignment and the other Loan Documents, (d) to Borrower's knowledge, no default or event of default which remains uncured beyond the expiration of any applicable grace or notice period which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect has occurred and is continuing hereunder and no Event of Default or Default has occurred, (e) to Borrower's knowledge, none of the Contracting Parties has any defense, set-off or counterclaim against Borrower to the performance of any obligations of such respective Contracting Party, and (f) its principal place of business is its address for notices as set forth in the Loan Agreement 7. Borrower, at its expense, shall execute and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as Lender, from time to time, may reasonably request in order to obtain the full benefits of this Assignment and of the rights and powers herein created and to maintain and perfect the security interest granted in this Assignment. To the extent permitted by law, Borrower irrevocably authorizes Lender, at the expense of Borrower, to file financing statements and continuation statements with respect to the Collateral that Lender deems appropriate or desirable without the signature of Borrower. 8. Wherever there is any conflict or inconsistency between any terms or provisions of this Assignment and the Loan Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement shall control. -4- 9. All rights and remedies herein conferred may be exercised whether or not sale proceedings are pending under the Security Instrument or any other action or proceeding has been commenced under any of the other Loan Documents. Lender shall not be required to resort first to the security of this Assignment before resorting to the security of the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents and Lender may exercise the security hereof or thereof concurrently or independently and in any order of preference. 10. This Assignment shall automatically terminate upon payment in full of all sums due Lender under the Note, the Loan Agreement, and the other Loan Documents, and any other indebtedness secured by the Security Instrument. 11. All notices, demands, consents, or requests which are either required or desired to be given or furnished hereunder shall be sent and shall be effective in the manner set forth in Section 14.5 of the Loan Agreement. 12. The provisions of this Assignment shall be binding upon Borrower, its successors and assigns, and all persons claiming under or through Borrower or any such successor or assign, and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Lender and its successors and assigns.

(d) Upon the request of Lender, at any time (i) after the occurrence of an Event of Default or (ii) Lender has reasonable grounds to believe that (A) Hazardous Material is or has been released, stored or disposed of, or existing, on or around the Property at a level in excess of that allowed by applicable Environmental Laws or (B) the Property may be in material violation of applicable Environmental Laws, Indemnitors shall cause an investigation or audit of the Property to be undertaken by a hydrogeologist or environmental engineer or other appropriate consultant reasonably approved by Lender to determine whether any Hazardous Material is located on, at, beneath, or near the Property and/or whether the Property is in compliance in all material respects with Environmental Laws. The scope of any investigation or audit shall be approved by Lender in Lender's reasonable discretion. If Indemnitors fail to provide reports of such investigation or audit within thirty (30) days after such request, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, order the same. Borrowers hereby grant to Lender and Lender's contractors access to the Property and an irrevocable license to undertake such investigation or audit provided that such investigation is conducted in a manner so as not to unreasonably affect Borrowers' operations at the Property. All reasonable costs of any such investigation or audit shall be included in Costs and shall be paid by Indemnitors in accordance with the terms of paragraph 5(c) hereof. (e) In the event that a Lien is filed against the Property pursuant to any applicable Environmental Law, Indemnitors shall, within ten (10) Business Days from the date that any Borrower receives notice of such Lien (but in any event ten (10) days prior to the date of any contemplated sale pursuant to such Lien), either (i) pay the claim and remove the Lien from the Property, or (ii) furnish, at Indemnitor's option, (A) a bond satisfactory to Lender in the amount of the claim out of which the Lien arises, (B) a cash deposit in the amount of the claim 6 out of which the Lien arises, (C) other security reasonably satisfactory to Lender in an amount sufficient to discharge the claim out of which the Lien arises, or (D) security in a form and amount satisfactory to the applicable Governmental Authority pursuant to a valid consent or other order, and Indemnitors shall promptly arrange for the removal of the Lien. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnitors shall prevent a sale pursuant to any Lien. (f) The amount of Indemnitors' liability hereunder is unrelated to the amount of the Loan and any failure of the Loan to be repaid in full. The enforcement of this Agreement by the Indemnified Parties shall not be construed by Indemnitors as an indirect attempt to recover any Loan deficiency or loss relating to the failure of the Loan to be repaid in full. Indemnitors acknowledge that they may have liability hereunder even if the Loan is repaid in full by reason of a full credit bid at any foreclosure sale under the Security Instrument, and that the amount of Indemnitor's liability hereunder could exceed the entire amount paid by Borrower for the Property. 5. INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES. (a) If any action, proceeding, litigation or claim shall be brought or asserted against any Indemnified Party for any matter which the Indemnified Parties are indemnified hereunder (each, a "CLAIM"), such Indemnified Party shall notify Indemnitors in writing thereof and Indemnitors shall promptly assume the defense thereof, including, without limitation, the employment of counsel selected by the Indemnitor and approved by the Indemnified Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and the negotiation of any settlement. Any failure of such Indemnified Party to notify Indemnitors of such matter shall not impair or reduce the obligations of Indemnitors hereunder. The Indemnified Parties shall have the right, at the reasonable expense of Indemnitors (which expense shall be included in Costs), if an Indemnified Party has reason to believe that its interests are not being adequately represented or diverge from other interests being represented by such counsel, to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof at such Indemnitor's sole cost and expense. In the event Indemnitors shall fail to discharge or undertake to defend any Indemnified Party against any Claim, such failure shall constitute an Event of Default and the Indemnified Party may, at its sole election, defend or settle such Claim. The liability of Indemnitors to such Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement by such Indemnified Party shall be conclusively established by any settlement entered into by the Indemnified Party in good faith. The amount of Indemnitors' liability hereunder shall include the settlement consideration and all other Costs, which shall be paid by the Indemnitors as hereinafter provided. Costs incurred in connection with a Claim shall be reimbursed by Indemnitors without the requirement of waiting for the ultimate outcome of such Claim. (b) Indemnitors shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, settle or compromise any Claim in any manner or consent to the entry of any judgment (i) in which the claimant or plaintiff does not unconditionally release the Indemnified Party from all liability and obligations in respect of such Claim and obtain a dismissal of such Claim with prejudice; or (ii) that may adversely affect the Indemnified Party (as determined in the reasonable discretion of such Indemnified Party) or obligate the Indemnified Party to pay any sum or perform any obligation. 7 (c) Indemnitors shall pay to the applicable Indemnified Party any and all Costs within fifteen (15) days after written notice from such Indemnified Party. All Costs shall be immediately reimbursable to the Indemnified Party or, upon request of the Indemnified Party, paid directly to the party sending a bill or other statement to the Indemnified Party. Any Costs not paid within the aforementioned fifteen (15) day period shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date incurred until the date paid in full. 6. REINSTATEMENT OF OBLIGATIONS. If at any time all or any part of any payment received by an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Indemnitor, then the obligations of Indemnitors hereunder shall, to the extent of such rescinded or returned payment, be reinstated and shall continue as though such previous payment received by the Indemnified Party had never occurred. 7. WAIVERS BY INDEMNITORS. To the extent permitted by law, Indemnitors hereby waive and agree not to assert or take advantage of: (a) Any right to require an Indemnified Party (i) to proceed against Borrower or any other Person, (ii) to proceed against or exhaust any security held by any Indemnified Party at any time or (iii) to pursue any other remedy in such Indemnified Party's power or under any other agreement, in any case, before proceeding against Indemnitors hereunder; (b) Any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other Person or the failure of an Indemnified Party to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other Person; (c) Demand, presentment for payment, protest and notice of protest, demand, dishonor and nonpayment and all other notices except as expressly required in the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, notice of new or additional indebtedness or obligations or of any action or non-action on the part of Borrower, Lender, any endorser or creditor of Borrower or of Indemnitor or of any other Person whomsoever under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (d) Any defense based upon an election of remedies, splitting a cause of action or merger of judgments by any Indemnified Party; (e) Any right or claim of right to cause a marshaling of the assets of Indemnitors; (f) Any principle or provision of law, statutory or otherwise, which is or might be in conflict with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; (g) Any duty on the part of any Indemnified Party to disclose to Indemnitors any facts such Indemnified Party may now or hereafter know about Borrower or the Property, regardless of whether such Indemnified Party (i) has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Indemnitors intend to assume, (ii) has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Indemnitors or (iii) has a reasonable opportunity to 8 communicate such facts to Indemnitors, it being understood and agreed that Indemnitors are fully responsible for being informed of the financial condition of Borrower, the condition of the Property and of all other circumstances bearing on the risk that liability may be incurred by Indemnitors hereunder; (h) Any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any one or more of the Loan Documents; (i) Any lack of commercial reasonableness in dealing with the collateral for the Loan; (j) Any deficiencies in the collateral for the Loan or any deficiency in the ability of Lender to collect or to obtain performance from any Persons now or hereafter liable for the payment and performance of any obligation hereby guaranteed; (k) An assertion or claim that the automatic stay provided by 11 U.S.C. Section 362 (arising upon the voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding of Borrower) or any other stay provided under any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, shall operate or be interpreted to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any of its rights, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, which Lender may have against any Indemnitor or the collateral for the Loan; (l) Any modifications of the Loan Documents or any obligation of Borrower relating to the Loan by operation of law or by action of any court, whether pursuant to the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, or otherwise; (m) Any action, occurrence, event or matter consented to by Indemnitors under Section 8(j) hereof, under any other provision hereof, or otherwise; and (n) the failure of any representation and/or warranties made by Borrower, Indemnitor or any other party to be true, complete or correct when given, or at any time thereafter. Indemnitors covenant and agree that upon the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding by or against any Borrower, neither such Indemnitor shall seek a supplemental stay or otherwise pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 105 or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law, or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any rights of Lender against such Indemnitor by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise. 9 8. GENERAL PROVISIONS. (a) Fully Recourse. Notwithstanding any provision of any other Loan Document to the contrary, all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement are recourse obligations of Indemnitors and not restricted by any limitation on personal liability. (b) Right to Indemnification Not Affected by Knowledge. An Indemnified Party's right to defense, indemnification, payment of Costs or other rights and remedies pursuant to this Agreement shall not be diminished or affected in any way by any investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party or other knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by such Indemnified Party through any means at any time. (c) Reliance. Indemnitors hereby acknowledge that Lender would not make the Loan without being able to rely upon the covenants and obligations of Indemnitors set forth herein. Accordingly, Indemnitors intentionally and unconditionally enter into this Agreement. (d) Obligations Unsecured. Indemnitors acknowledge that even though the representations, warranties and covenants of Indemnitors contained herein may be identical or substantially similar to those of Borrower set forth in the Security Instrument, the obligations of Indemnitors hereunder are independent obligations which are not secured by the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents. The Indemnitors further acknowledge that it is the intent of Lender to create separate obligations of Indemnitors hereunder which can be enforced against Indemnitors without regard to the existence of the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents or the liens or security interests created therein. (e) Survival. This Agreement shall be deemed to be continuing in nature, remain in full force and effect and survive indefinitely, notwithstanding the exercise of any remedy by Lender under the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof, even if, as a part of such remedy, the Loan is paid or satisfied in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the obligations and liabilities of Indemnitors under this Agreement shall survive following payment in full of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents for a period equal to the lesser of (x) five (5) years, or (y) if Borrowers deliver Phase I environmental reports for each of the Properties to Lender, acceptable to Lender in all respects, and which Lender determines in its sole discretion demonstrates that no condition exists which may cause any of the liabilities of Indemnitors to arise after delivery thereof, two (2) years following the delivery of such Phase I environmental reports, provided, however, in the event that (a) any obligations or liabilities of the Indemnitors under this Agreement shall have arisen from any Hazardous Material which existed on, in, under or affecting the Property prior to the expiration of such period or (b) if, prior to payment in full of the Loan, Lender shall have exercised any rights or remedies after an Event of Default or any of the Loan Documents shall have been modified or amended or any provision thereof waived pursuant to any workout or restructuring of the Loan (and if, as a consequence thereof, at any time after the expiration of the survival period specified above, Lender shall be unable to avail itself of any exemption from liability available to lenders under any applicable Environmental Law or shall be required to defend any claim or action relating to any Hazardous Material), then in any such event the foregoing survival period shall not apply and the obligations and liabilities of Indemnitors hereunder shall survive. 10 (f) Subordination; No Recourse Against Lender. Obligor hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter owed to Obligor to all indebtedness of Borrower to Lender. Obligor shall not demand or accept any payment of principal or interest from Borrower, shall not claim any offset or other reduction of Obligor's obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness and shall not take any action to obtain any of the collateral for the Loan. Further, Indemnitors shall not have any right of recourse against any Indemnified Party by reason of any action such Indemnified Party may take or omit to take under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents. (g) Reservation of Rights. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent or in any way diminish or interfere with any rights or remedies, including, without limitation, the right to cost recovery or contribution, which any Indemnified Party may have against either Indemnitor or any other party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (codified at Title 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq.), as it may be amended from time to time ("CERCLA"), or any other applicable Federal, state or local laws, all such rights being hereby expressly reserved. (h) Financial Statements. Each Indemnitor hereby agrees to furnish Lender such financial statements and other information as is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Loan Agreement. (i) Nature of Obligations. The obligations of Indemnitors hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrower under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any default hereunder, a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Indemnitors whether or not Indemnitors are the alter ego of Borrower and whether or not Borrower is joined therein or a separate action or actions are brought against Borrower. Lender's rights hereunder shall not be exhausted until all of the obligations of Indemnitor hereunder have been fully paid and performed. (j) No Limitation on Liability. Indemnitors hereby consent and agree that any of the following may occur from time to time, without notice or consideration to, or consent of, Indemnitors, and the liability of Indemnitors hereunder shall remain unconditional and absolute and shall in no way be impaired or limited by reason thereof: (i) any extension of time for performance required by any of the Loan Documents or otherwise granted by Lender or any extension or renewal of the Note; (ii) any sale, assignment or foreclosure of the Note, the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents or any sale or transfer of the Property, except as set forth in Section 2(b); (iii) any change in the composition of Borrower, including, without limitation, the voluntary or involuntary withdrawal or removal of Indemnitors from any current or future position of ownership, management or control of Borrower; (iv) the release of Borrower or of any other Person from performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents by operation of law, Lender's voluntary act or otherwise; 11 (v) the release or substitution in whole or in part of any security for the Loan; (vi) Lender's failure to record the Security Instrument or to file any financing statement (or Lender's improper recording or filing thereof) or to otherwise perfect, protect, secure or insure any lien or security interest given as security for the Loan; (vii) the modification of the terms of any one or more of the Loan Documents; (viii) subject to Section 2(b) hereof, the exercise by Mezzanine Lender of any remedies made available to Mezzanine Lender pursuant to the terms of the Mezzanine Loan Documents, including, without limitation, foreclosure or similar remedies under any pledge agreement encumbering Mezzanine Borrower's interest in General Partner, Member or any Borrower; or (ix) the taking or failure to take any action of any type whatsoever. No such action which Lender shall take or fail to take in connection with the Loan Documents or any collateral for the Loan, nor any course of dealing with Borrower or any other Person, shall limit, impair or release Indemnitor's obligations hereunder, affect this Agreement in any way or afford Indemnitors any recourse against any Indemnified Party. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to require any Indemnified Party to take or refrain from taking any action referred to herein. (k) Representations. Each Indemnitor represents and warrants that there is no bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against it. (l) Professionals' Fees. In the event it is necessary for any Indemnified Party to retain the services of an attorney or any other consultants in order to enforce this Agreement, or any portion hereof, Indemnitors agree to pay to such Indemnified Party any and all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and consultants' fees and disbursements, incurred by such Indemnified Party as a result thereof and all such amounts shall be included in Costs. (m) Successive Actions. A separate right of action hereunder shall arise each time an Indemnified Party acquires knowledge of any matter indemnified or guaranteed by Indemnitors hereunder. Separate and successive actions may be brought hereunder to enforce any of the provisions hereof at any time and from time to time and no action hereunder shall preclude any subsequent action. (n) No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of Lender in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and no course of dealing between Borrower and Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive 12 of any rights or remedies provided by law. The giving of notice to or demand on Borrower which notice or demand is not required hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall not entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights, remedies, powers or privileges of Lender in any circumstances not requiring notice or demand. (o) Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder or under the Note shall be given in the manner set forth in Section 14.5 of the Loan Agreement, to Lender and Borrower at such party's address set forth in Section 14.5 of the Loan Agreement and to each Obligor at its address set forth above, or such other address as Indemnitors or Lender shall hereafter specify by not less than ten (10) days prior written notice as provided herein; provided, however, that notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the contrary, such notice of change of address shall be deemed given only upon actual receipt thereof. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed addresses of which no notice was given as herein required shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice, demand, statement, request or consent. (p) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the applicable laws of the United States of America. Indemnitors hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of New York and in any state in which the Property is located in connection with any proceeding out of or relating to this Agreement. (q) Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, this Agreement shall be construed without such provision. (r) Amendments. The terms of this Agreement, together with the terms of the other Loan Documents, constitute the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations between Indemnitors and Lender with respect to the obligations contained herein. This Agreement, and any provisions hereof, may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act on the part of Borrower or Lender, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought. (s) Parties Bound; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns and legal representatives; provided, however, that except as provided in the Loan Agreement or herein, Indemnitors may not, without the prior written consent of Lender, assign any of their rights, powers, duties or obligations hereunder. (t) Headings; Construction of Documents. The headings and captions of various sections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be construed as defining or limiting, in any way, the scope or intent of the provisions hereof. Indemnitors acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that neither 13 this Agreement nor the other Loan Documents shall be subject to the principle of construing the meaning against the Person who drafted same. (u) Recitals. The recital and introductory paragraphs hereof are a part hereof, form a basis for this Agreement and shall be considered prima facie evidence of the facts and documents referred to therein. (v) Counterparts. To facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as may be convenient or required. It shall not be necessary that the signature or acknowledgment of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature of all Persons required to bind any party, or the acknowledgment of such party, appear on each counterpart. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single instrument. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, and the respective acknowledgments of, each of the parties hereto. Any signature or acknowledgment page to any counterpart may be detached from such counterpart without impairing the legal effect of the signatures or acknowledgments thereon and thereafter attached to another counterpart identical thereto except having attached to it additional signature or acknowledgment pages. (w) Cumulative Rights. The rights of Lender under this Agreement shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Lender shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled, subject to the terms of this Agreement, to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded by law. (x) Waiver of Counterclaim and Right to Trial by Jury. Indemnitors hereby waive the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents, and Lender and Indemnitors waive trial by jury in any action or proceeding brought by either party hereto against the other or in any counterclaim any other party may be permitted to assert hereunder or which may be asserted by any party or its agents, against Indemnitors, or in any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement, the debt or the obligations contained herein. (y) Singular and Plural; Joint and Several Liability. (i) If there is more than one entity comprising Obligor, all references to Obligor herein shall be to Obligor, or any one or more of them. All references to Indemnitors herein shall be to Indemnitors or any one or more of them. All obligations and liabilities of Indemnitors hereunder are in addition to, not in lieu of and are independent of: (A) all obligations of Borrower under any other Loan Document, including the Note and the Loan Agreement; and (B) any obligation of Obligor under any other Loan Document to which Obligor is a party. (ii) All obligations of Indemnitors hereunder shall be joint and several.

(B) NOTE. On the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Lender a Promissory Note, dated of even date herewith (as amended, modified or restated, and any replacement or substitute notes therefor, by means of multiple notes or otherwise, collectively, the "NOTE"), made by the Borrowers to the order of Lender, in the original principal amount of $67,864,000.

(B) DEFAULT RATE. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and in any event from and after the Maturity Date of the Loan and until the Loan and all other Obligations are satisfied in full, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and all other Obligations shall bear interest until paid in full at a rate per annum that is four percent (4%) in excess of the Interest Rate otherwise applicable under this Loan Agreement and the Note (the "DEFAULT RATE"). (C) COMPUTATION OF INTEREST. Interest on the Loan and all other Obligations owing to Lender shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year, and shall be charged for the actual number of days elapsed during any month or other accrual period.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Borrowers 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 ("EXCESS INTEREST"). If any Excess Interest is provided for or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been provided for in this Loan Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, then in such event: (1) the provisions of this 24 subsection shall govern and control; (2) the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any Excess Interest; (3) any Excess Interest that Lender may have received hereunder shall be, at Lender's option, (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(s) 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 Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction; and (5) the Borrowers shall not have any action against Lender for any damages arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest. 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 this Loan Agreement, 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 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 Interest Rate, then the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall apply. (E) LATE CHARGES. If an Event of Default regarding non-payment of principal, interest or other sums due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall occur, then the Borrowers shall pay to Lender, in addition to all sums otherwise due and payable, a late fee in an amount equal to five percent (5.0%) of such principal, interest or other sums due hereunder or under any other Loan Document, such late charge to be immediately due and payable without demand by Lender.

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; APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. The Borrowers promise 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 Loan Agreement. All payments by the Borrowers on the Loan shall be made without deduction, defense, set off or counterclaim and in immediately available funds delivered to Lender by wire transfer to such accounts at such banks as Lender may from time to time designate. Prior to an Event of Default, each payment shall be applied first to pay late charges and the charges and expenses of Lender, Servicer and any special servicer as provided hereunder, second to accrued and unpaid interest, and the balance to principal. Prior to an Event of Default, to the extent sufficient funds are contained in the Lock Box Account, or an Account or Sub-Account thereof, to make the required monthly payments to the applicable Reserves and Sub-Account on such Payment Date, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have satisfied their obligations to make such payments. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, payments shall be applied to the Obligations in such order as Lender shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion. SECTION 2.5 MATURITY. 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 hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. SECTION 2.6 PREPAYMENT. (A) LIMITATION ON PREPAYMENT; PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATION DUE ON ACCELERATION. The Borrowers shall have no right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part at any time, except as expressly set forth in this provision. On and after May 1, 2009, the Borrowers may prepay the Loan in whole, but not in part, without payment of Prepayment Consideration, provided that (i) the Borrowers shall provide to Lender not less than fifteen (15) days prior written notice of such prepayment, (ii) together with such prepayment the Borrowers also shall pay all accrued and unpaid interest and all other Obligations then due and owing, (iii) if such prepayment occurs on any day other than a Payment Date, then together therewith the Borrowers also shall pay to Lender the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount being prepaid from and including the date of such prepayment to the end of such calendar month. (B) PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATION DUE. If any prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan shall occur prior to May 1 2009, on account of acceleration of the Loan (whether or not due to an Event of Default), or otherwise, then except only as expressly provided in this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the Borrowers shall pay the Prepayment Consideration on the amount prepaid to Lender together with such prepayment, as liquidated damages and compensation for costs incurred, and in addition to all other amounts due and owing to Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Prepayment Consideration will be due as to a prepayment of the Loan in connection with (i) application of insurance or condemnation proceeds required by Lender pursuant to this Loan Agreement or the Mortgages in the absence of 26 an Event of Default, (ii) Scheduled Mortgage Principal Payments. The foregoing designation of any amount of Prepayment Consideration in this Agreement shall not create a right to prepay at any time or in any circumstances where this Agreement does not expressly state that such a right exists. (C) DEFINITIONS. The following terms shall have the meanings indicated: "PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATION" shall mean an amount equal to the greater of (i) one percent (1%) of the Loan balance at the time of prepayment and (ii) the Yield Maintenance Amount. "YIELD MAINTENANCE AMOUNT" shall mean the positive difference, if any, between (i) the present value on the date of prepayment (by acceleration or otherwise) of all future installments of principal and interest which the Borrowers would otherwise be required to pay under the Note from the date of such prepayment until the Maturity Date absent such prepayment, including the unpaid principal amount which might otherwise be due upon the Maturity Date absent such prepayment, with such present value being determined by the use of a discount rate equal to the yield to maturity (adjusted to a "Mortgage Equivalent Basis" pursuant to the standards and practices of the Securities Industry Association), on the date of such prepayment of the United States Treasury Security having the term to maturity closest to what otherwise would have been the remaining term hereof absent such prepayment and (ii) the principal balance of the Loan on the date of such prepayment. SECTION 2.7 OUTSTANDING BALANCE. The balance on Lender's books and records shall be presumptive evidence (absent manifest error) of the amounts owing to Lender by the Borrowers; provided that any failure to record any transaction affecting such balance or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect the Borrowers' obligation to pay the Obligations. SECTION 2.8 TAXES. Any and all payments or reimbursements made hereunder or under the Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all taxes, withholding taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto arising out of or in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (all such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and all liabilities with respect thereto (excluding taxes imposed on net income in accordance with the following sentence) herein "TAX LIABILITIES"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall not be liable for taxes imposed on the net income of Lender by the jurisdiction under the laws of which Lender is organized or doing business or any political subdivision thereof and taxes imposed on its net income by the jurisdiction of Lender's applicable lending office or any political subdivision thereof. If the Borrowers shall be required by law to deduct any such Tax Liabilities (or amounts in estimation or reimbursement for the same) from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, then the sum payable hereunder shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions, Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made. SECTION 2.9 REASONABLENESS OF CHARGES. The Borrower Parties agree 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 27 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 Prepayment Consideration are reasonable, taking into consideration the circumstances known to the parties at this time, and (iii) such Default Rate and late charges and Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with enforcement of Lender's rights under the Loan Documents shall be due and payable as provided herein, and (iv) such interest at the Default Rate, late charges, Prepayment Consideration, and the obligation to pay Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees and other enforcement costs do not, individually or collectively, constitute a penalty. SECTION 2.10 RESERVED. SECTION 2.11 SERVICING/SPECIAL SERVICING. Lender may change the Servicer from time to time without the consent of the Borrowers, on prior written notice to the Borrowers. The Borrowers expressly acknowledge and agree that the Servicer's fees (the "SERVICING FEE"), which shall in no event exceed five one-hundredths of one percent (.05%) per annum on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, payable in monthly installments, and if the Loan becomes a specially serviced loan, any fees of the special servicer, shall be payable by the Borrowers and shall constitute a portion of the Obligations; provided, however, that at no time shall the Borrowers be liable for Servicing Fees or special servicing fees in excess of those fees charged to Lender by the Servicer or any special servicer. SECTION 2.12 CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION; CONTRIBUTION; RELEASE OF CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION.

(B) Until the date that all of the Loan and the Crossed Loans shall have been paid and satisfied in full, the Borrowers (i) shall have no right of subrogation with respect to the Crossed Loans and (ii) waive any right to enforce any remedy which Lender now has or may hereafter have against the Crossed Borrowers, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Crossed Loans or any other individual or entity, and the Borrowers waive any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to Lender to secure the payment or performance of all or any part of the Crossed Loans or any other liability of any of the Crossed Borrowers to Lender. Should any Borrower have the right, notwithstanding the foregoing, to exercise its subrogation rights, each Borrower hereby expressly and irrevocably (1) subordinates any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off that such Borrower may have to the payment in full in cash of the Loan 28 and the Crossed Loans and (2) waives any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor until the Loan and the Crossed Loans are paid in full in cash. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit Lender and shall not limit or otherwise affect any Borrower's liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Loan Agreement or the Crossed Loan Documents. (C) Each Borrower agrees that any and all claims of such Borrower against any of the Crossed Borrowers or any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Crossed Loans (collectively, the "CROSSED OBLIGORS") with respect to any obligations, liabilities or indebtedness now or hereafter owing by the Crossed Obligors, or any of them, to such Borrower, or otherwise existing or claimed to be owed or to exist on the part of any of the Crossed Obligors, or against any of their respective properties (collectively, the "CROSSED PARTY OBLIGATIONS") shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment, in full and in cash, of all the Loan and the Crossed Loans. Notwithstanding any right of any Borrower to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment from any of the Crossed Obligors, all rights, liens and security interests of each Borrower, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in and to any assets of any of the Crossed Obligors shall be and are subordinated to the rights of Lender in those assets under the Loan Documents, the Crossed Loan Documents or otherwise, and no Borrower shall, until the date that all of the Loan and the Crossed Loans shall have been paid and satisfied in full, (i) assert, collect, sue upon, or enforce all or any part of the Crossed Party Obligations; (ii) commence or join with any other creditors of any of the Crossed Obligors in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or insolvency proceeding against any of the Crossed Obligors; (iii) take, accept, ask for, sue for, receive, set off or demand any payments upon the Crossed Party Obligations; or (iv) take, accept, ask for, sue for, receive, demand or allow to be created liens, security interests, mortgages, deeds of trust or pledges of or with respect to any of the assets of any of the Crossed Obligors in favor of or for the benefit of such Borrower. (D) If all or any part of the assets of any of the Crossed Obligors, or the proceeds thereof, are subject to any distribution, division or application to the creditors of such Crossed Obligor, whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding, or if the business of any such Crossed Obligor is dissolved or if substantially all of the assets of any such Crossed Obligor are sold, then, and in any such event (such events being herein referred to as an "CROSSED OBLIGOR INSOLVENCY EVENT"), any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable to any Borrower upon or with respect to any Crossed Party Obligations shall be paid or delivered directly to the Lender for application on the Loan and the Crossed Loans, due or to become due, until such Loan and Crossed Loans shall have first been fully paid and satisfied (in cash). Should any payment, distribution, security or instrument or proceeds thereof be received by any Borrower upon or with respect to the Crossed Party Obligations after any Crossed Obligor Insolvency Event and prior to the payment in full and satisfaction of all of the Loan and Crossed Loans, such Borrower shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of Lender and shall forthwith deliver the same to Lender in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of such Borrower where necessary), for application to any of the Loan or Crossed Loans, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by such Borrower as the property of Lender. If such Borrower fails to make 29 any such endorsement or assignment to Lender, Lender or any of its officers or employees is irrevocably authorized to make the same. Each Borrower agrees that until the Loan and Crossed Loans have been paid in full (in cash) and satisfied, no Borrower will assign or transfer to any individual or entity (other than Lender) any claim such Borrower has or may have against any Crossed Obligor. (E) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(G), to the extent that any collection upon any of the Loan or the Crossed Loans is made by Lender from one of the Crossed Borrowers or the Crossed Properties or other assets of the Crossed Borrowers (a "CROSSED LOANS COLLECTION") which, taking into account all other Crossed Loans Collections then previously or concurrently made by such Crossed Borrower, exceeds the amount which otherwise would have been collected from such Crossed Borrower if each Borrower and each Crossed Borrower had paid the portion of the Loan and Crossed Loans satisfied by such Crossed Loans Collection in the same proportion as such Crossed Borrower's Allocable Amount (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Crossed Loans Collection) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each Borrower and each Crossed Borrower as determined immediately prior to the making of such Crossed Loans Collection, then, following payment in full in cash of the entire Loan and Crossed Loans, such Crossed Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each Borrower and each of the other Crossed Borrowers for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Crossed Loans Collection. As of any date of determination, the "ALLOCABLE AMOUNT" of any Borrower or any Crossed Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim which could then be recovered from such Borrower or Crossed Borrower under the Loan Documents and Crossed Loan Documents without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law. The foregoing provision shall be for the benefit of each of the Crossed Borrowers and Lender, but shall be subject to modification as provided in Section 2.12(G) below and to amendment by agreement of the Borrowers and Lender, in each case without necessity of any agreement, acknowledgment or approval of any Crossed Borrower or any notice to any Crossed Borrower. Section 2.12(E) of each of the Crossed Loan Agreements contains provisions similar to this Section 2.12(E) for the benefit of Lender and (subject to the terms thereof) the Crossed Borrowers. This Section 2.12(E) and Section 2.12(E) of each of the Crossed Loan Agreements are intended only to define the relative rights of the Borrowers and Crossed Borrowers, and nothing set forth in this Section 2.12(E) or in Section 2.12(E) of each of the Crossed Loan Agreements is intended to or shall impair the liens and security interests of the Loan Documents and the Crossed Loan Documents or the obligations of the Borrowers and the Crossed Borrowers thereunder. Each Borrower acknowledges that the rights of contribution and indemnification under this Section 2.12(E) and under Section 2.12(E) of the Crossed Loan Agreements constitute assets of the Borrowers or Crossed Borrowers to which such contribution and indemnification is owing, and any such right of contribution and indemnification owing to any Borrower under Section 2.12(E) of any of the Crossed Loan Agreements shall constitute additional Crossed Party Obligations for all purposes under this Section 2.12. (F) Each Borrower hereby consents and agrees to each of the following, and agrees that such Borrower's obligations under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the 30 Liens created under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents securing the Loan and the Crossed Loans shall not be released, diminished, impaired, reduced or adversely affected by any of the following, and waives any common law, equitable, statutory or other rights (including without limitation rights to notice) that such Borrower might otherwise have as a result of or in connection with any of the following: (i) Any renewal, extension, increase, modification, alteration or rearrangement of all or any part of the Crossed Loans, the Crossed Loan Documents, or other document, instrument, contract or understanding between the Crossed Borrowers and Lender, or any other parties, pertaining to the Crossed Loans or any failure of Lender to notify such Borrower of any such action. (ii) Any adjustment, indulgence, forbearance or compromise that might be granted or given by Lender to the Crossed Borrowers.

(v) Any full or partial release of the liability of the Crossed Borrowers on the Crossed Loans, or any part thereof, or of any co-guarantors, or any other person or entity now or hereafter liable, whether directly or indirectly, jointly, severally, or jointly and severally, to pay, perform, guarantee or assure the payment of the Crossed Loans, or any part thereof, it being recognized, acknowledged and agreed by each Borrower that such Borrower has not been induced to enter into this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the basis of a contemplation, belief, understanding or agreement that other parties will be liable to pay or 31 perform the Loan or such Borrower's obligations under the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or that Lender will look to other parties to pay or perform the Crossed Loans. (vi) The taking or accepting of any other security, collateral or guaranty, or other assurance of payment, for all or any part of the Crossed Loans.

(viii) The failure of or refusal of Lender or any other party acting on behalf of Lender to exercise diligence or reasonable care in the preservation, protection, enforcement, sale or other handling or treatment of all or any part of such collateral, property or security, including but not limited to any neglect, delay, omission, failure or refusal of Lender (A) to take or prosecute any action for the collection of any of the Crossed Loans, (B) to foreclose, or initiate any action to foreclose, or, once commenced, prosecute to completion any action to foreclose upon any security therefor, or (C) to take or prosecute any action in connection with any instrument or agreement evidencing or securing all or any part of the Crossed Loans.

Any such contest shall be prosecuted with due diligence, and the Borrowers shall promptly pay the amount of such Imposition or Claim as finally determined, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith. Lender shall have full power and authority, but no obligation, to apply any amount deposited with Lender under this subsection to the payment of any unpaid Imposition or Claim to prevent the sale or forfeiture of the applicable Property for non-payment thereof, if Lender reasonably believes that such sale or forfeiture is threatened. Any surplus retained by Lender after payment of the Imposition or Claim for which a deposit was made shall be promptly repaid to the Borrowers unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case said surplus may be retained by Lender to be applied to the Obligations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the contrary, the Borrowers shall pay any Imposition or Claim which they might otherwise be entitled to contest if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, or if, in the reasonable determination of Lender, the applicable Property is in danger of being forfeited or foreclosed.

(ix) Worker's Compensation Insurance in statutory amounts, if any, at all times; (x) Insurance against loss or damage from (A) leakage of sprinkler systems and (B) explosion of steam boilers, air conditioning equipment, high pressure piping, machinery and equipment, pressure vessels or similar apparatus now or hereafter installed in the Improvements (without exclusion for explosions), in an amount at least equal to the Aggregate Allocated Loan Amount; (xi) During any period of construction, repair or restoration, builder's "all risk" insurance in an amount equal to not less than the full insurable value of the Properties (excluding building foundations and footings) against such risks (including, without limitation, fire and extended coverage and collapse of the Improvements to agreed limits) as Lender may reasonably request; (xii) If the Properties are or become a "non-conforming use" under applicable zoning and building ordinances, or other requirements of the applicable Governmental Authority, law or ordinance coverage to compensate for the cost of demolition and the increased cost of construction, if available; (xiii) If the Borrowers, Manager or any of their respective Affiliates holds a liquor license for the Properties, liquor liability insurance (including "dram shop" liability) in an 54 amount not less than $1,000,000 for each common cause and $3,000,000 in the aggregate; provided that if such liquor license is held by any tenant under a Lease, the Borrowers shall cause such tenant to cause liquor liability insurance in an amount not less than the limits set forth above to be carried in such tenant's name, and shall include the Borrowers and Lender as additional insureds thereunder; (xiv) If reasonably required by Lender as a result of the release, disposal or existence of any Hazardous Materials on or about any Property after the date hereof (or as to which Lender obtains knowledge after the date hereof) or if such insurance is then customarily required by institutional lenders for securitized loans, environmental insurance, including mold coverage, in form and with coverages (including business interruption coverage) reasonably satisfactory to Lender; provided, however, without limiting or affecting Lender's right to require such environmental insurance with respect to any other Properties after the date hereof, Lender acknowledges that, as of the date hereof, environmental insurance shall only be required with respect to the Property known as the Holiday Inn, located at 363 Roberts Street, East Hartford, Connecticut; (xv) Fiduciary liability insurance and directors and officers liability insurance ("D&O INSURANCE") with coverages at levels in effect as of the Closing Date; (xvi) Insurance against acts of terrorism, or insurance policies without an exclusion for damages resulting from acts of terrorism on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policies required under subsection (i), (ii), (v) and (vi) above; (xvii) Such other insurance as may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender and which is then customarily required by institutional lenders for securitized loans secured by similar properties similarly situated, against other insurable hazards, including, but not limited to, malicious mischief, vandalism, windstorm and or earthquake, due regard to be given to the size and type of the Properties, Improvements, fixtures and equipment and their location, construction and use. Additionally, the Borrowers shall carry such insurance coverage as Lender may from time to time require if the failure to carry such insurance would result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of any class of securities issued in connection with a Securitization. All Insurance Policies shall be in content (including, without limitation, endorsements or exclusions, if any), form, and amounts, and issued by companies, satisfactory to Lender from time to time and shall name Lender and its successors and assignees as their interests may appear as (x) an "additional insured" for each of the liability policies under this Section 5.4 hereof, and (y) a "mortgagee" for each of the property and casualty policies under this Section hereof, and shall (except for Worker's Compensation Insurance) contain a waiver of subrogation clause reasonably acceptable to Lender. Other than with respect to D&O Insurance, an insurance company shall not be satisfactory unless such insurance company (a) is licensed or authorized to issue insurance in the State where the applicable Property is located and (b) has a claims paying ability rating by the Rating Agencies of AA- (or its equivalent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a carrier which does not meet the foregoing ratings requirement shall nevertheless be deemed acceptable hereunder provided that such carrier is reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Borrowers shall obtain and deliver to Lender a Rating Confirmation with respect to such carrier 55 from each of the Rating Agencies, provided, however, that: (a) if any insurance coverage required under this Section 5.4 is maintained by a syndicate of insurers, the preceding ratings requirements shall be deemed satisfied (without any required Rating Confirmation) as long as at least seventy five percent (75%) of the coverage (if there are four or fewer members of the syndicate) or at least sixty percent (60%) of the coverage (if there are five or more members of the syndicate) is maintained with carriers meeting the claims-paying ability ratings requirements by S&P and Moody's (if applicable) set forth above and all carriers in such syndicate have a claims-paying ability rating by S&P of not less than "BBB" and by Moody's of not less than "Baa2" (to the extent rated by Moody's); (b) Lender hereby approves Zurich Insurance Company as the carrier providing the insurance described in clause (ii) above, so long as such carrier maintains a claims paying ability of not less than A- by S&P (and the equivalent from each of the other Rating Agencies to the extent rated thereby) and (c) until the expiration of the current term of the applicable policies, Lender hereby approves Landmark American as the carrier providing the insurance described in clauses (i), (iv) and (vi) above (covering losses over the first $25,000,000 of coverage), so long as thereafter such carrier or any other carrier providing the above coverages maintains a claims paying ability of not less than A by S&P (and the equivalent from each of the other Rating Agencies to the extent rated thereby). All Insurance Policies under Sections 5.4 (i), (iv), (vi), (vii), (x), (xi) and (xii) hereof shall contain a Non-Contributory Standard mortgagee clause and a mortgagee's Loss Payable Endorsement (Form 438 BFU NS), or their equivalents (such endorsements shall entitle Lender to collect any and all proceeds payable under all such insurance, with the insurance company waiving any claim or defense against Lender for premium payment, deductible, self-insured retention or claims reporting provisions). All Insurance Policies shall provide that the coverage shall not be modified without (30) days' advance written notice to Lender and shall provide that no claims shall be paid thereunder to a Person other than Lender without ten (10) days' advance written notice to Lender. The Borrowers may obtain any insurance required by this Section through blanket policies; provided, however, that such blanket policies shall separately set forth the amount of insurance in force with respect to the Properties (which shall not be reduced by reason of events occurring on property other than the Properties) and shall afford all the protections to Lender as are required under this Section. Except as may be expressly provided above, all policies of insurance required hereunder shall contain no annual aggregate limit of liability, other than with respect to liability insurance. If a blanket policy is issued, a certified copy of said policy shall be furnished, together with a certificate indicating that Lender is an additional insured (and, if applicable, loss payee) under such policy in the designated amount. The Borrowers will deliver duplicate originals of all Insurance Policies, premium prepaid through the current expiration dates of such Insurance Policies, to Lender and, in case of Insurance Policies about to expire, the Borrowers will deliver duplicate originals of replacement policies satisfying the requirements hereof to Lender not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of expiration; provided, however, if such replacement policy is not yet available, the Borrowers shall provide Lender with an insurance certificate executed by the insurer or its authorized agent evidencing that the insurance required hereunder is being maintained under such policy, which certificate shall be acceptable to Lender on an interim basis until the duplicate original of the policy is available. The Borrowers shall furnish Lender receipts for the payment of premiums on such insurance policies or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender in the event that such premiums have not been paid by Lender pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The requirements of this Section 5.4 shall apply to any separate policies of insurance taken out by the Borrowers 56 concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with the Insurance Policies. Losses shall be payable to Lender notwithstanding (1) any act, failure to act or negligence of the Borrowers or their agents or employees, Lender or any other insured party which might, absent such agreement, result in a forfeiture or all or part of such insurance payment, other than the willful misconduct of Lender knowingly in violation of the conditions of such policy, (2) the occupation or use of the Properties or any part thereof for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms of such policy, (3) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken pursuant to this Loan Agreement or (4) any change in title to or ownership of the Properties or any part thereof. The property insurance and the boiler and machinery insurance described in Sections 5.4(i) and (x) hereof shall include "underground hazards" coverage; "time element" coverage by which Lender shall be assured payment of all amounts due under the Note, this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents; "extra expense" (i.e., soft costs), clean-up, transit and ordinary payroll coverage; and "expediting expense" coverage to facilitate rapid repair or restoration of the Properties. The Insurance Policies shall not contain any deductible in excess of $250,000. SECTION 5.5 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPERTIES; CASUALTY. (A) The Borrowers will operate and maintain the Properties as is necessary to maintain hotel standards at least as high as those that currently apply to each Property, subject to ordinary wear and tear, as reasonably determined by the Borrowers, and otherwise in compliance with the standards under the applicable Franchise Agreement and shall maintain or cause to be maintained in good repair, working order and condition all material property used in the business of each Borrower, including the applicable Property, and will make or cause to be made all appropriate repairs, renewals and replacements thereof. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Borrower will operate and maintain its Property substantially in accordance with the applicable Operating Budget and the CapEx/FF&E Budget. All work required or permitted under this Loan Agreement shall be performed in a workmanlike manner and in compliance with all applicable laws. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers may, without Lender's consent, perform alterations to the Properties which do not constitute a Material Alteration. The Borrowers shall not perform any Material Alteration without Lender's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, withhold consent to any Material Alteration which is likely to result in a decrease of Net Operating Income (taking into consideration all Material Alterations being undertaken at the Properties at such time) by 5% or more below that which was in effect prior to the commencement of the first such Material Alteration being undertaken at the time of determination for a period of sixty (60) days or longer; provided, further, however, the Borrowers may perform a Material Alteration without Lender's consent if (i) the delay caused by obtaining Lender's prior consent may result in injury or death at, or further destruction or deterioration of, the applicable Property, (ii) such Material Alteration is necessary to prevent the likelihood of injury or death at, or further destruction or deterioration of, the applicable Property, and (iii) the Borrowers deliver notice to Lender within two (2) Business Days of commencement of such Material Alteration together with such supporting documentation as Lender may require with respect to such Material Alteration. Lender may, as a condition to giving its consent to a Material Alteration, require that the Borrowers deliver to Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the Borrowers have cash available for 57 payment of the cost of such Material Alteration or, if the Borrowers fail to deliver such evidence, cash, Dollar Equivalents or a Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to 125% of the cost of such Material Alteration as reasonably estimated by Lender. Cash deposited by the Borrowers with Lender in connection with any Material Alteration pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be held by Lender in a Sub-Account of the Lock Box Account and disbursed to the Borrowers to pay for the cost of such Material Alteration as such work progresses subject to satisfaction of the conditions for disbursement of amounts from the Capital Improvement Reserve under Section 6.5 (including the requirements set forth under Section 6.7). Upon completion of the Material Alteration, the Borrowers shall provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (i) the Material Alteration was constructed in accordance with all material applicable laws and substantially in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Lender (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) all contractors, subcontractors, materialmen and professionals who provided work, materials or services in connection with the Material Alteration have been paid in full and have delivered unconditional releases of lien and (iii) all material licenses necessary for the use, operation and occupancy of the Material Alteration (other than those which depend on the performance of tenant improvement work) have been issued. The Borrowers shall reimburse Lender upon demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees of any architect, engineer or other professional engaged by Lender) incurred by Lender in reviewing plans and specifications or in making any determinations necessary to implement the provisions of this Section 5.5(A). (B) In the event of casualty or loss at any of the Properties, the Borrowers shall give immediate 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 the Property as nearly as possible to the Pre-Existing Condition (a "RESTORATION"). The Borrowers hereby authorize and empower Lender as attorney-in-fact for the Borrowers (jointly with the Borrowers unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), or any of them, to make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise any claim under insurance policies, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from such insurance policies, to collect and receive insurance proceeds, and to deduct therefrom Lender's expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds; provided however, that nothing contained in this Section shall require Lender to incur any expense or take any action hereunder. The Borrowers further authorize Lender, at Lender's option, (i) to hold the balance of such proceeds to be used to reimburse the Borrowers for the cost of Restoration of any of the Properties or (ii) subject to Subsection 5.5(C), to apply such proceeds to payment of the Obligations whether or not then due, in any order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a casualty where the loss does not exceed the Restoration Threshold, the Borrowers may settle and adjust such claim; provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (b) such adjustment is carried out in a commercially reasonable and timely manner. (C) Lender shall not exercise Lender's option to apply insurance proceeds to payment of the Obligations if all of the following conditions are met: (i) no Event of Default then exists; (ii) Lender reasonably determines that there will be sufficient funds to complete the Restoration of the Property to at least substantially the Pre-Existing Condition and to timely make all payments due under the Loan Documents during the Restoration of the affected Property; (iii) Lender reasonably determines that the Net Operating Income of the Properties (including rental income or business interruption insurance) will be sufficient to pay principal and interest 58 on the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan and Operating Revenues of the Properties, after the Restoration thereof to the Pre-Existing Condition, will be sufficient to meet all Operating Expenses, payments for Reserves and payments of principal and interest under the Note and the Mezzanine Loan; (iv) Lender determines that the Restoration of the affected Property to the Pre-Existing Condition will be completed not later than five (5) months prior to the expiration of any business interruption insurance, but in no event later than six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date; (v) less than fifty percent (50%) of the total floor area of the Improvements has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such fire or other casualty; and (vi) such Property can be restored and repaired substantially to the condition it was in immediately prior to such casualty and in compliance with all applicable zoning, building and other laws and codes (the "PRE-EXISTING CONDITION"). If Lender elects to apply insurance proceeds to payment of the Obligations, such application shall be made on the Payment Date immediately following such election in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement. (D) If Lender elects or is obligated to make the insurance proceeds available for the Restoration of any Property and Lender is holding such proceeds, the Borrowers agree that, if at any time during the Restoration, the cost of completing such Restoration, as reasonably determined by Lender, exceeds the undisbursed insurance proceeds, the Borrowers shall, within ten (10) Business Days following the written demand by Lender, deposit the amount of such excess with Lender, and Lender shall first disburse such deposit to pay for the costs of such Restoration on the same terms and conditions as the insurance proceeds are disbursed. If the Borrowers deposit such excess with Lender and if, after completion of the Restoration, any funds remain from the combination of insurance proceeds and the funds so deposited with Lender by the Borrowers, and if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Lender shall promptly disburse to the Borrowers such remaining funds. (E) Lender may, at Lender's option, condition disbursement of any insurance proceeds on Lender's approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) of plans and specifications of an independent architect licensed in the state where the Property is located and reasonably satisfactory to Lender (the "ARCHITECT"), any and all contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration and the contracts under which they have been engaged, contractor's cost estimates, architect's certificates, waivers of liens, sworn statements of mechanics and materialmen and such other evidence of costs, percentage completion of construction, application of payments, and satisfaction of liens as Lender may reasonably require. Lender shall not be obligated to disburse insurance proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month. If insurance proceeds are applied to the payment of the Obligations and provided no Event of Default exists, any such application of proceeds to principal shall be without any Prepayment Consideration and 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. If Lender elects to apply all of such insurance proceeds toward the repayment of the Obligations, the Borrowers shall (subject to compliance with clauses (A), (B), (D) and (F) of Section 11.4) be entitled to obtain from Lender a Property Release (without representation or warranty) of the applicable Property from the Lien of the Mortgage relating to such Property (in which event the Borrowers shall not be obligated to restore the applicable Property pursuant to Section 5.5(B) above) provided that the Borrowers pay to Lender the amount, if any, by which the Release Price for such Property exceeds the insurance proceeds received by Lender and applied to repayment of the Obligations. If any proceeds are applied to 59 reduce the Obligations under this Section 5.5, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Prepayment Consideration shall be due and payable in connection with such application. Any amount of insurance proceeds remaining in Lender's possession after full and final payment and discharge of all Obligations shall be refunded to, or as directed by, the Borrowers or otherwise paid in accordance with applicable law. If the Property is sold at foreclosure or if Lender acquires title to the Property, Lender shall have all of the right, title and interest of the applicable Borrower in and to any insurance policies and unearned premiums thereon and in and to the proceeds resulting from any damage to such Property prior to such sale or acquisition. (F) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of insurance proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Architect, less a retainage equal to the lesser of (x) the actual retainage required pursuant to the permitted contract, or (y) ten percent (10%) of such costs incurred until the Restoration has been completed. The retainage shall in no event be less than the amount actually held back by the Borrowers from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The retainage shall not be released until the Architect certifies to Lender, or, if no Architect has been retained by Lender, Lender is reasonably satisfied, that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.5 and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental authorities, and Lender receives final lien waivers and such other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the retainage. SECTION 5.6 INSPECTION. Each Borrower shall permit any authorized representatives designated by Lender to visit and inspect during normal business hours its Property and its business, including its financial and accounting records, and to make copies and take extracts therefrom and to discuss its affairs, finances and business with its officers and independent public accountants (with such Borrower's representative(s) present), at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably requested. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall provide advance written notice of at least three (3) Business Days prior to visiting or inspecting any Property or such Borrower's offices. SECTION 5.7 O&M PLAN. The applicable Borrowers shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Lender operations and maintenance programs (the "O&M PLANS") with respect to suspected asbestos, asbestos-containing materials, and/or mold located in certain Properties as set forth on Schedule 6.6 attached hereto, which conditions were disclosed in the applicable Environmental Reports for such Properties. Each applicable Borrower shall at all times implement and carry out the O&M Plan in accordance with its terms. Lender's requirement that the applicable Borrowers develop and comply with the O&M Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver or modification of any covenants or agreements of the Borrowers or Guarantor with respect to Hazardous Material or Environmental Laws as set forth in the Environmental Indemnity. SECTION 5.8 INTENTIONALLY DELETED. SECTION 5.9 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS. The Borrowers will (A) comply with the requirements of all present and future applicable laws, rules, regulations and 60 orders of any governmental authority in all jurisdictions in which it is now doing business or may hereafter be doing business, other than those laws, rules, regulations and orders the noncompliance with which would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the operation or value of any Property, (B) maintain all licenses and permits now held or hereafter acquired by any Borrower, the loss, suspension, or revocation of which, or failure to renew, could have a material adverse effect on the operation or value of any Property and (C) perform, observe, comply and fulfill all of its material obligations, covenants and conditions contained in any Contractual Obligation. SECTION 5.10 FURTHER ASSURANCES. The Borrowers shall, from time to time, execute and/or deliver such documents, instruments, agreements, financing statements, and perform such acts as Lender at any time may reasonably request to evidence, preserve and/or protect the Collateral at any time securing or intended to secure the Obligations and/or to better and more effectively carry out the purposes of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. SECTION 5.11 PERFORMANCE OF AGREEMENTS AND LEASES. Each Primary Borrower Party shall duly and punctually perform, observe and comply in all material respects with all of the terms, provisions, conditions, covenants and agreements on its part to be performed, observed and complied with (i) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, (ii) under all Material Agreements and Leases and (iii) all other agreements entered into or assumed by such Person in connection with the Properties, and will not suffer or permit any material default or event of default (giving effect to any applicable notice requirements and cure periods) to exist under any of the foregoing except where the failure to perform, observe or comply with any agreement referred to in this clause (iii) would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the operation or value of any Property. SECTION 5.12 LEASES. (A) Without the prior written consent of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, the Borrowers shall not, nor shall the Borrowers authorize Manager or any other Person to, (i) enter into any Material Lease; (ii) cancel or terminate any Material Lease (except to enforce any such Lease after a default thereunder); (iii) amend or modify any Material Lease (except for minor modifications and amendments entered into in the ordinary course of business, consistent with prudent property management practices, not materially and adversely affecting the economic terms of the Material Lease); (iv) approve any assignment, sublease or underlease of any Material Lease (except as required pursuant to the express terms of any existing Lease or Lease hereafter approved by Lender); or (v) cancel or modify any guaranty, or release any security deposit, letter of credit, or other item constituting security pertaining to any Material Lease (except as required pursuant to the express terms of any existing Lease or Lease hereafter approved by Lender). (B) Any request for approval of any Material Lease or assignment, termination, amendment or modification of any Material Lease shall be made to Lender in writing and together with such request the Borrowers shall furnish to Lender: (i) such biographical and financial information about the proposed tenant as Lender may reasonably require in conjunction with its review, (ii) a copy of the proposed form of Lease (or amendment or modification), and (iii) a summary of the material terms of such proposed Lease (or amendment or modification) including, without limitation, rental terms and the term of the proposed Lease and any options. Lender's approval of any Material Lease or assignment, termination, amendment or modification 61 of any Material Lease, shall be deemed given, if the first correspondence from the Borrowers to Lender requesting such approval is in an envelope marked "PRIORITY" and contains a bold-faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page thereof stating that "IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO OR TO EXPRESSLY DENY THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL MAY BE DEEMED GIVEN", and is accompanied by the information and documents required above and any other information reasonably requested by Lender in writing prior to the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period in order to adequately review the same has been delivered and, if Lender fails to respond or to expressly deny such request for approval in writing within the fifteen (15) day period, a second notice is delivered to Lender from the Borrowers in an envelope marked "PRIORITY" requesting approval containing a bold-faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page thereof stating that "IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO OR EXPRESSLY DENY THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN" and Lender fails to respond or to expressly deny each request for approval within the ten (10) day period. Except for security deposits, no Material Lease executed after the Closing Date shall provide for payment of rent more than one month in advance, and the Borrowers shall not under any circumstances collect any such rent more than one month in advance. The Borrowers, at Lender's request, shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Material Leases hereafter made. Each new Material Lease or a separate agreement with the tenant of such Material Lease shall be in recordable form and shall specifically provide that such Material Lease (i) is subordinate to the Mortgages; (ii) that the tenant attorns to Lender, such attornment to be effective upon Lender's acquisition of title to the Property; (iii) that the tenant agrees to execute such further evidences of attornment as Lender may from time to time request; (iv) that the attornment of the tenant shall not be terminated by foreclosure; (v) that in no event shall Lender, as holder of the Mortgages or as successor landlord, be liable to the tenant for any act or omission of any prior landlord or for any liability or obligation of any prior landlord occurring prior to the date that Lender or any subsequent owner acquire title to the Property; and (vi) that Lender may, at Lender's option, accept or reject such attornment. SECTION 5.13 MANAGEMENT; FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS.

The Borrowers shall (i) perform and observe all of the material terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of each Borrower to be performed and observed, and (ii) promptly notify Lender of any notice to any of the Borrowers of any material default under the Management Agreement of which it is aware. If any of the Borrowers shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the applicable Management Agreement on the part of the Borrowers to be performed or observed, then, without limiting Lender's other rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and without waiving or releasing the Borrowers from any of their obligations hereunder or under the applicable Management Agreement, Lender shall have the right, upon prior written notice to the Borrower, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act as may be reasonably appropriate to 62 cause such material conditions of the applicable Management Agreement on the part of the Borrowers to be performed or observed. (B) The Borrowers shall not surrender, terminate, cancel, modify (other than non-material changes), renew or extend the Management Agreement, or enter into any other Management Agreement with Manager or any new Manager, or consent to the assignment by the Manager of its interest under the Management Agreement, in each case without (i) prior to a Securitization, the express consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, or (ii) after a Securitization, delivery of Rating Confirmations from each of the Rating Agencies. The Borrowers shall cause any new Manager with respect to any Property to execute and deliver a subordination of management agreement in substantially the form delivered in connection with the closing of the Loan. (C) Lender shall have the right to require any of the Borrowers to replace any Manager with a Person chosen by the Borrowers and reasonably acceptable to Lender (unless such proposed Manager is an Acceptable Manager) and the applicable Franchisor (to the extent the applicable Franchisor has consent rights), upon the earliest to occur of any one or more of the following events: (i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default; (ii) thirty (30) days after notice from Lender to the Borrowers if Manager has engaged in fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct arising from or in connection with its performance under the applicable Management Agreement; or (iii) upon a change of control of the current Manager. (D) The Borrowers shall not terminate or enter into any Franchise Agreement without Lender's prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in Lender's sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following changes to Franchise Agreements shall be permitted without Lender's prior written consent: (i) Replacement of any Franchise Agreement with a new Franchise Agreement in form substantially similar to a form previously approved by Lender with any Franchisor that would cause a Tier 3 Hotel to become either a Tier 2 Hotel or a Tier 1 Hotel, or that would cause a Tier 2 Hotel to become a Tier 1 Hotel; (ii) Replacement of any Franchise Agreement with a new Franchise Agreement in form substantially similar to a form previously approved by Lender with another Franchisor within the same Category, provided that the Borrowers shall not replace Franchise Agreements (in the aggregate) pursuant to this Section 5.13(D)(ii) with respect to more than the lesser of (x) two (2) Properties, or (y) Properties with Aggregate Allocated Loan Amounts (in the aggregate) of ten percent (10%) of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance; (iii) Replacement of any Franchise Agreement at a Tier 2 Hotel with a new Franchise Agreement in form substantially similar to a form previously approved by Lender for Tier 3 Hotels, provided that the Borrowers shall not replace Franchise Agreements for more than one (1) Property, or for any Property with an Allocated Loan Amount of more than five percent 63 (5%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan pursuant to this Section 5.13(D)(iii); and (iv) Entering into new Franchise Agreements (or amendments or addenda to existing Franchise Agreements) with the existing Franchisors for the applicable Properties for the same franchise brand, each in form substantially similar to the forms previously approved for the respective Properties by Lender, as required by the existing Franchisors under the respective Franchise Agreements in connection with the transfers of the applicable Properties and the direct and indirect ownership interests in the Borrowers made by the Borrower Parties and their Affiliates in connection with the Closing of the Loan. In connection with the replacement of any Franchisors permitted hereunder, the applicable Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days of the execution of such Franchise Agreement, deliver to Lender a Franchisor Letter from any replacement Franchisor in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender. In all cases, each Borrower shall (a) cause the hotel located on the applicable Property to be operated pursuant to the applicable Franchise Agreement; (b) promptly perform and observe in all material respects all of the covenants required to be performed and observed by it under the applicable Franchise Agreement (including the requirements of any Property Improvement Plan); (c) promptly notify Lender of any material default under the applicable Franchise Agreement of which it is aware; and (d) promptly enforce in a commercially reasonable manner the performance and observance of all of the material covenants required to be performed and observed by the Franchisor under the Franchise Agreement.

The Borrowers shall not make any payment or permit any payment to be made to any 66 Related Person of any of the Borrowers when or as to any time when any Event of Default shall exist.

(A) NO MODIFICATION. The Borrowers shall not modify or amend, or terminate or surrender any Ground Lease, in each case without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion. Any attempted or purported modification, amendment, or any surrender or termination of any Ground Lease without Lender's prior written consent shall be null and void and of no force or effect. (B) PERFORMANCE OF GROUND LEASES. The Borrowers shall fully perform as and when due each and all of its obligations under each Ground Lease in accordance with the terms of such Ground Lease, and shall not cause or suffer to occur any material breach or default in any of such obligations. The Borrowers shall keep and maintain each Ground Lease in full force and effect. The Borrowers shall exercise any option to renew or extend any Ground Lease and give written confirmation thereof to Lender within thirty (30) days after such option is exercised. Notwithstanding that certain of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Loan Agreement may be similar or identical to certain of the obligations of the Borrowers under the Ground Leases, all of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Loan Agreement are and shall be separate from and in addition to its obligations under the Ground Leases. (C) NOTICE OF DEFAULT. If any of the Borrowers shall have or receive any written notice that any Ground Lease Default has occurred, then the Borrowers immediately shall notify Lender in writing of the same and immediately deliver to Lender a true and complete copy of each such notice. Further, the Borrowers shall provide such documents and information as Lender shall reasonably request concerning the Ground Lease Default. (D) LENDER'S RIGHT TO CURE. If any Ground Lease Default shall occur and be continuing, or if any Ground Lessor asserts that a Ground Lease Default has occurred (whether or not the Borrowers question or deny such assertion), then, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Ground Lease, Lender, upon five (5) Business Days' prior written notice to the Borrowers, unless Lender reasonably determines that a shorter period (or no period) of notice is necessary to protect Lender's interest in the Ground Lease, may (but shall not be obligated to) take any action that Lender deems reasonably necessary, including, without limitation, 68 (i) performance or attempted performance of the applicable Borrower's obligations under the applicable Ground Lease, (ii) curing or attempting to cure any actual or purported Ground Lease Default, (iii) mitigating or attempting to mitigate any damages or consequences of the same and (iv) entry upon the applicable Ground Leased Property for any or all of such purposes. Upon Lender's request, each Borrower shall submit satisfactory evidence of payment or performance of any of its obligations under each Ground Lease. Lender may pay and expend such sums of money as Lender in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable for any such purpose, and the Borrowers shall pay to Lender within five (5) Business Days of the written demand of Lender all such sums so paid or expended by Lender, together with interest thereon from the date of expenditure at the Default Rate. (E) LEGAL ACTION. The Borrowers shall not commence any action or proceeding against any Ground Lessor or affecting or potentially affecting any Ground Lease or the Borrowers' or Lender's interest therein, the effect of which could cause an event of default or termination of any such Ground Lease, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Borrowers shall notify Lender immediately if any action or proceeding shall be commenced between any Ground Lessor and either Borrower, or affecting or potentially affecting any Ground Lease or either Borrower's or Lender's interest therein (including, without limitation, any case commenced by or against any Ground Lessor under the Bankruptcy Code). Lender shall have the option, exercisable upon notice from Lender to the Borrowers, to participate in any such action or proceeding with counsel of Lender's choice. The Borrowers shall cooperate with Lender, comply with the reasonable instructions of Lender, execute any and all powers, authorizations, consents or other documents reasonably required by Lender in connection therewith, and shall not settle any such action or proceeding without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. (F) ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Ground Lease, from time to time, at Lender's request, the Borrowers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Lender within the time period required under the applicable Ground Lease, an estoppel certificate from each Ground Lessor setting forth (A) (i) the identities of the original lessor and lessee under the applicable Ground Lease and each of their respective successors, (ii) that the Ground Lease has not been modified or, if it has been modified, the date of each modification (together with copies of each such modification), (iii) the rent payable under the Ground Lease, (iv) the dates to which all rent and other charges have been paid, (v) whether there are any alleged Ground Lease Defaults and, if so, setting forth the nature thereof in reasonable detail, and (vi) such other matters as Lender may reasonably request or (B) the matters required to be certified by the Ground Lessor under the applicable Ground Lease. The Borrowers shall not be required to request an estoppel from any Ground Lessor more than two (2) times in any calendar year. (G) BANKRUPTCY. (i) If any Ground Lessor shall reject any Ground Lease under or pursuant to Section 365 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Borrowers shall not elect to treat the Ground Lease as terminated but shall elect to remain in possession of the applicable Ground Leased Property and the leasehold estate under such Ground Lease. The lien of the Mortgage covering 69 such Property does and shall encumber and attach to all of the Borrowers' rights and remedies at any time arising under or pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, including without limitation, all of such Borrower's rights to remain in possession of such Property and the leasehold estate. (ii) The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that in any case commenced by or against the Borrowers under the Bankruptcy Code, Lender by reason of the liens and rights granted under the Mortgage covering such Property and the Loan Documents shall have a substantial and material interest in the treatment and preservation of such Borrower's rights and obligations under such Ground Lease, and that such Borrower shall, in any such bankruptcy case, provide to Lender immediate and continuous reasonably adequate protection of such interests. Each Borrower and Lender agree that such adequate protection shall include but shall not necessarily be limited to the following: (a) Lender shall be deemed a party to the Ground Lease (but shall not have any obligations thereunder) for purposes of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, and shall, provided that, prior to an Event of Default, no such action by Lender would adversely and materially affect the Borrowers' ability to prosecute, or defend, any such claims asserted therein, have standing to appear and act as a party in interest in relation to any matter arising out of or related to the Ground Lease or such Property. (b) The Borrowers shall serve Lender with copies of all notices, pleadings and other documents relating to or affecting the Ground Lease or the applicable Property. Any notice, pleading or document served by the Borrowers on any other party in the bankruptcy case shall be contemporaneously served by such Borrower on Lender, and any notice, pleading or document served upon or received by such Borrower from any other party in the bankruptcy case shall be served by such Borrower on Lender promptly upon receipt by such Borrower. (c) Upon written request of Lender, the Borrowers shall assume the Ground Lease, and shall take such steps as are necessary to preserve such Borrower's right to assume the Ground Lease, including without limitation using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain extensions of time to assume or reject the Ground Lease under Subsection 365(d) of the Bankruptcy Code to the extent it is applicable. (H) ASSUMPTION AND ASSIGNMENT. If the Borrowers or the applicable Ground Lessor seeks to reject any Ground Lease or have the Ground Lease deemed rejected, then prior to the hearing on such rejection Lender shall, subject to applicable law, be given no less than twenty (20) days' notice and opportunity to elect in lieu of rejection to have the Ground Lease assumed and assigned to a nominee of Lender. If Lender shall so elect to assume and assign the Ground Lease, then the Borrowers shall, subject to applicable law, continue any request to reject the Ground Lease until after the motion to assume and assign has been heard. If Lender shall not elect to assume and assign the Ground Lease, then Lender may, subject to applicable law, obtain in connection with the rejection of the Ground Lease a determination that the applicable Ground Lessor, at Lender's option, shall (1) agree to terminate the Ground Lease and enter into a new lease with Lender on the same terms and conditions as the Ground Lease, for the remaining term of the Ground Lease, or (2) treat the Ground Lease as breached and provide Lender with the 70 rights to cure defaults under the Ground Lease and to assume the rights and benefits of the Ground Lease. Each Borrower shall join with and support any request by Lender to grant and approve the foregoing as necessary for adequate protection of Lender's interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender may seek additional terms and conditions, including such economic and monetary protections as it deems reasonably appropriate to adequately protect its interests, and any request for such additional terms or conditions shall not delay or limit Lender's right to receive the specific elements of adequate protection set forth herein. Each Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its attorney in fact to act on behalf of Lender in connection with all matters relating to or arising out of the assumption or rejection of any Ground Lease, in which the other party to the lease is a debtor in a case under the Bankruptcy Code. This grant of power of attorney is present, unconditional, irrevocable, durable and coupled with an interest. SECTION 5.26 RESERVED. SECTION 5.27 LENDER'S EXPENSES. The Borrowers shall pay, on demand by Lender, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, charges, costs and fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with the negotiation, documentation, closing, administration, servicing, enforcement interpretation, and collection of the Loan and the Loan Documents, and in the preservation and protection of Lender's rights hereunder and thereunder. Without limitation the Borrowers shall pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Lender in any case or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code (or any law succeeding or replacing any of the same). At the Closing, Lender is authorized to pay directly from the proceeds of the Loan any or all of the foregoing expenses then or theretofore incurred and approved by the Borrowers. SECTION 5.28 DISTRIBUTIONS. During the continuance of any Event of Default, and at any time that a Cash Trap Event is in effect, the Borrowers shall not make any distributions of cash or other property to any Borrower Party, or make any payments in lieu thereof, without Lender's prior written approval, which may be granted or withheld in Lender's sole discretion. SECTION 5.29 CANCELLATION OF INDEBTEDNESS; SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein to the contrary, the Borrowers shall not cancel any indebtedness from any Person owing to any Borrower, or settle any claims without Lender's prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld. SECTION 5.30 PROHIBITED PERSONS. The Borrowers covenant and agree that no Borrower Party, nor any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, partners or members will knowingly: (i) conduct any business, nor engage in any transaction or dealing, with any Prohibited Person, including, but not limited to, the making or receiving of any contribution of funds, goods, or services, to or for the benefit of a Prohibited Person; or (ii) engage in or conspire to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in EO13224. The Borrowers further covenants and agrees to deliver (from time to time) to Lender any such certification or other evidence as may be 71 requested by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, confirming that: (i) neither any Borrower Party, nor their respective officers, directors, partners, members or Affiliates, is a Prohibited Person; and (ii) neither any Borrower Party, nor their respective officers, directors, partners, members or Affiliates, has to its Knowledge engaged in any business, transaction or dealings with a Prohibited Person, including, but not limited to, the making or receiving of any contribution of funds, goods, or services, to or for the benefit of a Prohibited Person.

Nothing contained in this Loan Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the funds contained in the Reserves during the continuance of an Event of Default to payment of the Loan or in any specific order of priority. SECTION 6.2 FUNDS DEPOSITED WITH LENDER. (A) INTEREST, OFFSETS. Except only as expressly provided otherwise herein, all funds of the Borrowers which are deposited with Lock Box Account Bank as Reserves hereunder shall be held by Lock Box Account Bank in one or more Permitted Investments, such Permitted Investments, prior to an Event of Default, to be as directed by Borrower. All interest which accrues on the Reserves shall be taxable to the Borrowers and shall be added to and disbursed in the same manner and under the same conditions as the principal sum on which said interest accrued. Additional provisions pertaining to investments are set forth in Article VII. After 72 repayment of all of the Obligations, all funds held as Reserves will be promptly returned to, or as directed by, the Borrowers. (B) FUNDING AT CLOSING. The Borrowers shall deposit with Lender the amounts necessary to fund each of the Reserves as set forth below.

The Borrowers shall provide Lender with bills and all other documents necessary for the payment of the foregoing charges at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which each payment shall first become subject to penalty or interest if not paid. So long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Borrowers have provided Lender with the foregoing bills and other documents in a timely manner, and (iii) sufficient funds are held by Lender for the payment of the Impositions and Insurance Premiums relating to each of the Properties, Lender shall pay said items or disburse to the Borrowers from such Reserve an amount sufficient to pay said items.

Pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement, the Borrowers shall deposit monthly, on each Payment Date commencing with the Payment Date in August 2004, an amount equal to 4.0% of the Operating Revenues generated from the Properties for the prior calendar month (such amount, the "MONTHLY FF&E PAYMENT"). Funds held in the FF&E Reserve may be withdrawn by the Borrowers, subject in all instances to the terms of the Cash Management 73 Agreement, only in accordance with the approved CapEx/FF&E Budget, and no funds held in the FF&E Reserve shall be used in connection with the Required Capital Improvements. Upon and at all times after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no draws will be permitted from the FF&E Reserve other than Replacements subject, in each instance, to Manager's compliance with the FF&E reporting requirements set forth in Section 5.1(A)(v)(d). SECTION 6.5 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT RESERVE; REQUIRED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS.

Prior to the earlier of (x) the date required by any applicable Governmental Authority or (y) nine (9) months after the Closing, the Borrowers shall, subject to Force Majeure, complete such Environmental Work and shall provide to Lender such closure reports, no-further-action letters, or other evidence of compliance with law as Lender may reasonably require. The funds contained in the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve shall be utilized by the Borrowers solely for performance of the Environmental Work in accordance with the Environmental Reports, and shall not be used by the Borrowers for purposes for which any other Reserve is established. Subject to the Borrowers' satisfaction of the applicable conditions of Section 6.7, the Borrowers shall be entitled to draw upon the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve to pay for costs that have been incurred by the Borrowers for such Environmental Work, provided that the Borrowers deliver to Lender such evidence as may be reasonably satisfactory to Lender that, after payment of such draw, the funds remaining in the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve shall be sufficient to pay for the remainder of such Environmental Work. Subject to the foregoing conditions, but also subject to the last paragraph of Section 11.4, the Borrowers shall be entitled to draw any remaining balance in the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve when all such Environmental Work is complete, and is paid for, in accordance with the terms hereof. 74 SECTION 6.7 CONDITIONS TO DISBURSEMENTS FROM HAZARDOUS MATERIALS REMEDIATION RESERVE AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT RESERVE; PERFORMANCE OF WORK.

Upon the Borrowers' written request for disbursement, Lender shall authorize Lock Box Account Bank to disburse funds to or for the account of the Borrowers (x) from the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve, to pay to, or pay on behalf of, the Borrowers for the amount of the Borrowers' actual bona fide out-of-pocket expenditures or costs incurred for Environmental Work (the "APPROVED ENVIRONMENTAL EXPENDITURES", and (y) from the Capital Improvement Reserve, to pay to, or pay on behalf of, the Borrowers for the amount of the Borrowers' actual bona fide out-of-pocket expenditures or costs incurred for Required Capital Improvements ("APPROVED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT EXPENDITURES"; and together with the Approved Environmental Expenditures, collectively, "APPROVED EXPENDITURES"; and the related Environmental Work or Required Capital Improvements to which any such request for disbursement relates shall be referred to as the "WORK"), upon satisfaction of each of the conditions listed on SCHEDULE 6.7 and each of the conditions set forth below in Lender's reasonable discretion: (i) Except as provided in this Section 6.7, each request for disbursement from the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve or the Capital Improvement Reserve (such Reserves, the "WORK RESERVES") shall be made for completion of the Approved Expenditures for which disbursement is requested. (ii) A request for disbursement from the Work Reserves may be made after completion of a portion of the Work under such contract, or for payment of deposits required in connection with the Work under such Contract, provided (1) all other conditions in this Loan Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (2) funds remaining in the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve are, in Lender's reasonable judgment, sufficient to complete the Environmental Work when required and/or funds remaining in the Capital Improvement Reserve are, in Lender's reasonable judgment, sufficient to complete such item of Required Capital Improvements and any other Required Capital Improvements remaining to be performed, as the case may be, and (3) if reasonably required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments in excess of $100,000 under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor. (iii) To the extent the contract with the relevant contractor or supplier provides for a retainage, each disbursement from a Work Reserve, except for a final disbursement, shall be in the amount of actual costs incurred less the percentage of such costs that the contract with the relevant contractor or supplier specifies to be retained and advanced as part of the final disbursement. No funds will be advanced for materials stored at any Property unless such materials are properly stored and secured at the applicable Property in accordance with the Borrowers' customary procedures and sound construction practices as reasonably determined by Lender. No funds will be advanced for materials stored at any location other than at the Properties unless Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that Lender has a perfected first priority security interest in any such materials. 75 (iv) The amount of all invoices in connection with the Work with respect to which a disbursement is requested and which has been approved by Lender shall be disbursed by Lock Box Account Bank as directed by the Borrowers (in which event, the Borrowers covenant and agree to promptly pay such invoices) or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at Lender's option and in Lender's sole and absolute discretion, directly to the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor indicated on said invoices unless already paid by the Borrowers and Lender has received satisfactory evidence of such payment in which case Lender shall reimburse the Borrowers. All invoices in connection with disbursements from the Capital Improvement Reserve shall be classified as requests for payment for items of Capital Improvement (as opposed to items that, in conformity with GAAP, would be included as Operating Expenses). If the Borrowers request that any amounts be disbursed directly to the Borrowers pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the Borrowers shall be required to deliver evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender of payment of all invoices for which disbursements were previously made to the Borrowers as a condition to such requested disbursement. (v) No more than two (2) disbursements will be made by Lender from the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve or the Capital Improvement Reserve in any calendar month, and, if made in accordance herewith or otherwise approved by Lender, requested disbursements will be made within five (5) Business Days after the request therefor. Lender shall not be required to make any disbursement from a Work Reserve with respect to the Property unless such requested disbursement is in an amount equal to or greater than $25,000 (other than the final disbursement). (vi) Lender reserves the right, at its option and as a condition to any disbursement from a Work Reserve, to approve (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) (i) all drawings and plans and specifications, if any, for any Work which require aggregate payments in amounts exceeding the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the Aggregate Allocated Loan Amount with respect to the applicable Property or (y) $250,000, and (ii) all contracts and work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors and other parties providing labor or materials in connection with any Work which require aggregate payments in amounts exceeding the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the Aggregate Allocated Loan Amount with respect to the applicable Property or (y) $250,000. Upon Lender's reasonable request, the Borrowers shall assign (to the extent assignable) any drawings, plans and specifications, contracts or subcontracts to Lender. Drawings, plans and specifications, contracts and work orders approved by Lender shall not be changed in any material respect without Lender's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. (vii) The Borrowers shall have delivered a certificate to Lender from an Architect certifying that the Work has been completed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with all applicable laws for any item in excess of the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the Aggregate Allocated Loan Amount with respect to the applicable Property or (y) $250,000. Lender may retain its own architect or engineer ("LENDER'S CONSULTANT") to review any plans and specifications for any item in excess of the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the Aggregate Allocated Loan Amount with respect to the applicable Property or (y) $250,000, and to periodically inspect any Work at the Borrowers' sole cost and expense. 76 (viii) The Borrowers shall have delivered to Lender a certificate of the Borrowers substantially in the form of Exhibit L attached hereto certifying as to the actual costs which were incurred by the Borrowers to complete such Work, which costs shall not materially exceed the amount budgeted for such Work under the CapEx/FF&E Budget then in effect unless approved by Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (together with supporting documentation reasonably acceptable to Lender). (ix) The Borrowers shall have delivered to Lender all necessary material certificates, authorizations, permits and licenses which are required to permit the construction and completion of the Work, as issued by the appropriate Governmental Authority. The Borrowers, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, hereby assigns to Lender as additional security for the payment of the Obligations and the observance and performance by the Borrowers of the terms, covenants and provisions of the Loan Documents all right, title and interest which the Borrowers may now have or may hereafter acquire in and to such certificates, authorizations, permits and licenses. (x) Lender may require an inspection of the Property prior to making a monthly disbursement from the applicable Work Reserve in order to verify completion of the Work for which disbursement is sought in excess of the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the Aggregate Allocated Loan Amount with respect to the applicable Property or (y) $250,000. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by Lender's Consultant and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified architect or engineer acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the applicable Work Reserve. The Borrowers shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expense of such inspections as reasonably required hereunder, whether such inspections are conducted by Lender, Servicer, Lender's Consultant or by an independent qualified professional. (B) PERFORMANCE OF WORK. (i) The Borrowers shall complete all Work in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement thereof substantially in accordance with the applicable budget approved by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Loan Agreement. The insufficiency of the balance in the applicable Work Reserve shall not relieve the Borrowers from their obligations to perform and complete the related Work as herein provided or to fulfill all other preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents. (ii) If Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Work is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Work has not been completed in a workmanlike manner, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory work and so notify the Borrowers with reasonable detail regarding the basis for Lender's dissatisfaction and, after the expiration of forty-five (45) days from the giving of such notice by Lender to the Borrowers of such unsatisfactory work without the cure thereof (or, if such unsatisfactory work is susceptible of a cure but cannot reasonably be cured within said forty-five (45) day period and provided that the Borrowers shall have commenced to cure such unsatisfactory work within said forty-five (45) day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, after the expiration of such longer period as is reasonably necessary for the Borrowers in the exercise of due diligence to cure such 77 unsatisfactory work, up to a maximum of an additional sixty (60) days, subject to Force Majeure, without the cure thereof), Lender may proceed under existing contracts or contract with third parties to complete such Work, as the case may be, and apply amounts contained in the applicable Work Reserve toward the labor and materials necessary to complete the same, without providing any additional prior notice to the Borrowers, and exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder. (iii) In order to facilitate Lender's completion or making of any Work pursuant to Section 6.7(B)(ii) above, the Borrowers grant Lender the right to enter onto each Property during normal business hours after the expiration of the notice specified above and perform, subject to the rights of tenants, any and all work and labor necessary to complete the applicable Work and/or employ watchmen to protect the Property from damage. All sums so expended by Lender shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to the Borrowers and secured by the applicable Mortgage. For this purpose, the Borrowers constitute and appoint Lender their true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the applicable Work in the name of the Borrowers pursuant to Section 6.7(B)(ii) above. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrowers empower said attorney-in-fact as follows: (i) to use any funds in the applicable Work Reserve for the purpose of making or completing any Work; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to any Work as shall be reasonably necessary or desirable to complete the same; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against any Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of any Work, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of the Borrowers which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) in its reasonable discretion, to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with any Property or the rehabilitation and repair of such Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which the Borrowers might do in their own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Loan Agreement. (iv) Nothing in this Section shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing any Work; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the amounts on deposit in the applicable Work Reserve to make or complete any Work; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with any Work; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from the Borrowers additional sums to make or complete any Work. (v) The Borrowers shall permit Lender and Lender's agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lender's engineer, architect or inspector) or third parties performing any Work pursuant to this Section 6.7 to enter onto any Property during normal business hours upon reasonable notice (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Work and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating thereto which are or may be kept at any Property, and to complete any Work made pursuant to Section 6.7(B)(ii). The Borrowers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender's representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 6.7(B) or the completion of the Work pursuant to this Section 6.7(B). 78 (vi) All Work and all materials, equipment, fixtures and any other item comprising a part thereof shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic's, materialman's or other liens (except for the Permitted Encumbrances). (vii) All Work shall comply with all applicable legal requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the Properties and applicable insurance requirements, including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations and requirements of insurance underwriters. (C) INDEMNIFICATION. The Borrowers shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations, out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, litigation costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the performance of the Work, except to the extent caused by the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of Lender. The Borrowers shall assign to Lender all rights and claims the Borrowers may have against all Persons supplying labor or materials in connection with the Work; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim or pursue any other action with respect to such rights and claims unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured. SECTION 6.8 CASH TRAP RESERVE. (i) If, at any time prior to the repayment of the Obligations in full, a Cash Trap Event shall occur, then for so long as such Cash Trap Event continues to exist, all Excess Cash Flow (except as otherwise expressly provided below) shall be deposited with Lender (or its Servicer or agent) and held in the Lock Box Account in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement (said funds, together with any interest thereon, the "CASH TRAP RESERVE"). A "CASH TRAP EVENT" shall occur as of any Calculation Date when the Debt Yield is less than the Minimum Debt Yield for the trailing twelve (12) month period ending on such Calculation Date and shall continue to exist until such time as the Minimum Debt Yield test has been satisfied for three (3) consecutive Calculation Dates (on a trailing twelve (12) month basis) following the commencement of the applicable Cash Trap Event. Notwithstanding that the Debt Yield is less than the Minimum Debt Yield as of any Calculation Date, no Cash Trap Event shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of such event if the Borrowers make a principal prepayment of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance (which prepayment amount shall be disbursed on the next Payment Date in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement), within three (3) Business Days after the date of delivery of the financial statements disclosing the existence of such Cash Trap Event (or the date on which such financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1), in an amount equal to the greater of (x) one percent (1%) of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance, or (y) 120% of the amount, as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion, sufficient to cause the Debt Yield to meet or exceed the Minimum Debt Yield if such calculation was recalculated as provided above assuming that such amount was applied to reduce the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance as of the first day of the relevant measuring period. During the continuance of a Cash Trap Event, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any funds on deposit in the Cash Trap Reserve may, at the Borrowers' election, be retained in the Cash Trap Reserve or may be applied to (i) prepayment of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance as provided above, (ii) Capital Expenditures reasonably approved by Lender, or (iii) scheduled payments (not to exceed $525,000 in the aggregate) of principal and interest 79 under the Loan and the Allocable Portion of the Mezzanine Loan (to be applied in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement). Any funds on deposit in the Cash Trap Reserve shall continue to be held as additional Collateral in accordance with this Section 6.8 until the earlier of (a) the date that such funds are applied or disbursed pursuant to the foregoing sentence or (b) the date that the Minimum Debt Yield test has been satisfied for three (3) consecutive months (as determined above), at which time, provided no Event of Default exists, and no Cash Trap Event has commenced, such funds, together with any and all amounts then held in the Minimum Balance Sub-Account (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement), shall be automatically released to the Borrowers without any further certification requirements on the part of the Borrowers. The existence of a Cash Trap Event shall be determined by Lender in its reasonable good faith determination. If Lender determines that a Cash Trap Event has occurred, Lender shall send the Borrowers written notice thereof. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all funds on deposit in the Cash Trap Reserve and any subsequent Excess Cash Flow, while such Event of Default is continuing, may be applied by Lender to payment of the Loan (including payment of any Prepayment Consideration) or other Obligations (or to the obligations of the Mezzanine Borrowers to Mezzanine Lender) as Lender may elect.

The Deposit Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender (which dominion and control may be exercised by Servicer). Among other things, the Deposit Account Agreement shall provide that the Borrowers shall have no access to or control over the Deposit Account, that all available funds on deposit in the Deposit Account shall be transferred by wire transfer (or transfer via the ACH System) on each Business Day by the Deposit Bank into the Lock Box Account, for application in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement. The Deposit Bank and the Lock Box Account Bank shall be directed to deliver to the Borrowers copies of bank statements and other information made available by the Deposit Bank and the Lock Box Account Bank concerning the Deposit Account and the Lock Box Account. (ii) Upon establishing the Deposit Account, (1) the Borrowers shall cause any and all Operating Revenues, including distributions or other payments made directly or indirectly to the Borrowers, Manager, or any of their respective Affiliates, from any Beverage Company, to be deposited promptly into the Deposit Account and in no event later than two (2) Business Days after the same are paid to or for the benefit of the Borrowers, and (2) the Borrowers shall obtain 80 agreements (each, a "CREDIT CARD RECEIVABLES PAYMENT DIRECTION LETTER") from each of the Persons paying or disbursing credit card receivables (the "CREDIT CARD COMPANIES"), substantially similar to Lender's form or otherwise in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, pursuant to which the Credit Card Companies agree to pay all credit card receivables into the Lock Box Account, and acknowledge and agree that Lender shall have a first priority perfected security interest in such credit card receivables. To the extent that the Borrowers or any Person on the Borrowers' behalf holds any Receipts, whether in accordance with this Loan Agreement or otherwise, the Borrowers shall be deemed to hold the same in trust for Lender for the protection of the interests of Lender hereunder and under the Loan Documents. The Borrowers represent and warrant that, as of the date hereof, the only Credit Card Companies paying or disbursing credit card receivables with respect to the Property are Chase Merchant Services, American Express, Discover Financial Service, Diners Club, JCB (Japanese Credit Bureau), and, if any of the Borrowers shall hereafter enter into an agreement with any other Credit Card Company pursuant to which such Credit Card Company shall pay credit card receivables with respect to the Properties, such Borrower shall promptly obtain a Credit Card Receivables Payment Direction Letter in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender from such Credit Card Company. (iii) The Borrowers shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the transactions and other matters contemplated by this Section 7.1, including but not limited to, Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, and all reasonable fees and expenses of the Deposit Bank and the Lock Box Account Bank, including without limitation their reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. (B) LOCK BOX ACCOUNT. On or before the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the Cash Management Agreement, an Eligible Account shall be established in the name of Lender, as secured party hereunder, to serve as the "Lock Box Account" (said account, and any account replacing the same in accordance with this Loan Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement, the "LOCK BOX ACCOUNT"; and the depositary institution in which the Lock Box Account is maintained, the "LOCK BOX ACCOUNT BANK"). The Lock Box Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender (which dominion and control may be exercised by Servicer); and except as expressly provided hereunder and/or in the Cash Management Agreement, the Borrowers shall not have the right to control or direct the investment or payment of funds therein during the continuance of an Event of Default. Lender may elect to change any financial institution in which the Lock Box Account shall be maintained if such institution is no longer an Eligible Bank, upon not less than five (5) Business Days' notice to the Borrower. The Lock Box Account shall be deemed to contain such sub-accounts as Lender may designate ("SUB-ACCOUNTS"), which may be maintained as separate ledger accounts and need not be separate Eligible Accounts. The Sub-Accounts shall include the following as more particularly described in the Cash Management Agreement: (i) "DEBT SERVICE SUB-ACCOUNT" means the Sub-Account of the Lock Box Account established for the purposes of reserving for payments of principal and interest and other amounts due under the Loan Documents (but without duplication of amounts covered under item (ii) below); and 81 (ii) "RESERVE SUB-ACCOUNTS" means the Sub-Accounts of the Lock Box Account established for the purpose of holding funds in the Reserves including: (a) the "Imposition and Insurance Reserve Sub-Account"; (b) the "Capital Improvement Reserve Sub-Account"; (c) the "Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve Sub-Account"; (d) the "Extraordinary Receipts Sub-Account" (e) the "Mezzanine Loan Debt Service Sub-Account"; (f) the "Minimum Balance Sub-Account"; and (g) "Cash Trap Reserve Sub-Account". SECTION 7.2 APPLICATION OF FUNDS IN LOCK BOX ACCOUNT. Funds in the Lock Box Account shall be allocated to the Sub-Accounts or the other Accounts (or paid, as the case may be) in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement. SECTION 7.3 APPLICATION OF FUNDS AFTER EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section or elsewhere, Lender shall have all rights and remedies available under applicable law and under the Loan Documents. Without limitation of the foregoing, for so long as an Event of Default exists, Lender may apply any and all funds in the Deposit Account, and/or any Sub-Accounts against all or any portion of any of the Obligations, in any order.

Upon and at any time after the occurrence of any other Event of Default, at the option of Lender, which may be exercised without notice or demand to anyone, all or any portion of the Loan and other Obligations shall immediately become due and payable. (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 the Borrowers under this Loan 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 Properties. 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.

Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered. (D) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, 85 mortgages and other security documents in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. The Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, within ten (10) days after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall reasonably request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. The Borrowers hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoint Lender as their true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in their name and stead to make and execute all documents reasonably necessary to effect the aforesaid severance if the Borrowers fail to do so within ten (10) days of Lender's written request, the Borrowers ratifying all that their said attorney shall do by virtue thereof. (E) Any amounts recovered from the Properties or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine. (F) The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Loan Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against the Borrowers pursuant to this Loan 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 the Borrowers shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by the Borrowers or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. SECTION 8.3 PERFORMANCE BY LENDER. (A) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if any of the Borrowers shall fail to perform, or cause to be performed, any material covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents (subject to applicable notice and cure periods), Lender may perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of the Borrowers including making protective advances on behalf of any Borrower, or, in its sole discretion, causing the obligations of any of the Borrowers to be satisfied with the proceeds of any Reserve. In such event, the Borrowers shall, at the request of Lender, promptly pay to Lender, or reimburse, as applicable, any of the Reserves, any actual amount reasonably expended or disbursed by Lender in such performance or attempted performance, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate (including reimbursement of any applicable Reserves), from the date of such expenditure or disbursement, 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 applicable Note and shall be secured by all of the Collateral securing the applicable Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that Lender shall not have any liability or responsibility for the performance of any obligation of the Borrowers under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, and it is further expressly agreed that no such performance by Lender shall cure any Event of Default hereunder. 86 (B) Lender may cease or suspend any and all performance required of Lender under the Loan Documents upon and at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default. SECTION 8.4 EVIDENCE OF COMPLIANCE. Promptly following request by Lender, each Borrower shall provide such documents and instruments as shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender to evidence compliance with any material provision of the Loan Documents applicable to the Borrowers.

Lender shall have the right to engage in one or more Secondary Market Transactions with respect to the Loan, and to structure and restructure all or any part of the Loan, including without limitation in multiple tranches, as a wraparound loan, or for inclusion in a REMIC or other Securitization. Without limitation, Lender shall have the right, at Lender's sole cost (other than each Borrower's internal costs and expenses and the costs and expenses of the Borrowers' counsel), to cause the Note and any Mortgage to be split into a first and a second mortgage loan, or into one or more loans evidenced by multiple notes and secured by multiple mortgages and/or by ownership interests in any of the Borrowers in whatever proportion Lender determines, and thereafter to engage in Secondary Market Transactions with respect to all or any part of the indebtedness and loan documentation. Each of the Borrower Parties acknowledge that it is the intention of the parties that all or a portion of the Loan will be securitized and that all or a portion of the Loan will be rated by one or more Rating Agencies. Each of the Borrower Parties further acknowledge that additional structural modifications may be required to satisfy issues raised by any Rating Agencies. As used herein, "SECONDARY MARKET TRANSACTION" means any of (i) the sale, assignment, or other transfer of all or any portion of the Obligations or the Loan Documents or any interest therein to one or more investors, (ii) the sale, assignment, or other transfer of one or more participation interests in the Obligations or Loan Documents to one or more investors, (iii) the transfer or deposit of all or any portion of the Obligations or Loan Documents to or with one or more trusts or other entities which may sell certificates or other instruments to investors evidencing an ownership interest in the assets of such trust or the right to receive income or proceeds therefrom or (iv) any other Securitization backed in whole or in part by the Loan or any interest therein. SECTION 10.2 COOPERATION; LIMITATIONS. The Borrower Parties shall use all reasonable efforts and cooperate reasonably and in good faith with Lender in effecting any such restructuring or Secondary Market Transactions at Lender's sole cost (other than, with respect to the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction only (or if the Loan shall be hereafter split into multiple loans, the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction with respect to each of such loans), the Borrowers' internal costs 91 and expenses and the costs and expenses of the Borrower Parties' counsel). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Article X, it is acknowledged and agreed that in no event shall Lender be responsible for payment of any Borrower Party's (or its Affiliate's) internal costs and expenses in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction. Such cooperation shall include without limitation, executing and delivering such reasonable amendments to the Loan Documents and the organizational documents of each Borrower as Lender or any Interested Party (as defined below) may request, provided however that, no such amendment shall modify (i) the weighted average interest rate payable under the Note (or notes); (ii) the stated maturity date of the Note, (iii) the amortization of the principal amount of the Note, (iv) any other material economic terms of the Obligations, (v) the non-recourse provisions of the Loan or (vi) any provision, the effect of which would increase the Borrowers' obligations or decrease the Borrowers' rights under the Loan Documents except to a de minimis extent. The Borrower Parties shall not be required to provide additional collateral to effect any such restructuring or Secondary Market Transaction after the Closing Date. The Borrower Parties shall not be required to pay any third party (other than, which respect to the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction only (or if the Loan shall be hereafter split into multiple loans, the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction with respect to each of such loans), the costs and expenses of the Borrowers' counsel) costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any such Secondary Market Transaction unless otherwise expressly payable by the Borrower Parties under this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents. SECTION 10.3 INFORMATION. The Borrower Parties, at Lender's cost and expense (other than, with respect to the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction only (or if the Loan shall be hereafter split into multiple loans, the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction with respect to each of such loans), the Borrowers' internal costs and expenses and the costs and expenses of the Borrower Parties' counsel), shall provide such access to personnel and such information and documents relating to the Borrower Parties, Manager, the Properties and Collateral and the business and operations of all of the foregoing and such opinions of counsel (including nonconsolidation opinions) as any Rating Agency may request or as Lender or any other Interested Party may reasonably request in connection with any such Secondary Market Transaction including, without limitation, updated financial information, appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews (Phase I's and, if appropriate, Phase II's), mold inspection, property condition reports and other due diligence investigations together with appropriate verification of such updated information and reports through letters of auditors and consultants and, as of the closing date of the Secondary Market Transaction, updated representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents and such additional representations and warranties as any Rating Agency may request or any purchaser, transferee, assignee, trustee, servicer or potential investor (the Rating Agencies and all of the foregoing parties, collectively, "INTERESTED PARTIES") may reasonably request, to the extent such updated representations and warranties are true. On or prior to the date of closing of any Secondary Market Transaction, the Borrowers, at Lender's cost and expense (other than with respect to the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction only (or if the Loan shall be hereafter split into multiple loans, the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction with respect to each of such loans), the Borrowers' internal costs and expenses and the costs and expenses of the Borrowers' counsel), shall, if required by any Rating Agency or reasonably required by Lender, provide revisions or 92 "bringdowns" to any opinions delivered at Closing (including nonconsolidation opinions), or if required by the Rating Agencies, new versions of such opinions, which opinions shall be consistent in substance with the opinions covered by the original opinions, addressed to Lender, any trustee under any Securitization backed in whole or in part by the Loan, any Rating Agency that assigns a rating to any securities in connection therewith and any investor purchasing securities therein. Lender shall be permitted to share all such information with the investment banking firms, Rating Agencies, accounting firms, law firms, other third party advisory firms, potential investors, servicers and other service providers and other parties directly involved in any proposed Secondary Market Transaction. The Borrowers understand that any such information may be incorporated into any offering circular, prospectus, prospectus supplement, private placement memorandum or other offering documents for any Secondary Market Transaction. Lender and the Rating Agencies shall be entitled to rely upon such information. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrowers and Guarantor shall provide in connection with each (i) preliminary and final private placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, prepared in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction (the documents referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the "DISCLOSURE DOCUMENTS"), an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers and Guarantor certifying that the Borrowers and Guarantor have examined such Disclosure Documents specified by Lender and, that the sections of such Disclosure Document describing the Borrowers, Guarantor, the Properties and Manager do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading. The Borrowers and Guarantor shall each indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Lender, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("MERRILL LYNCH"), and their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, agents and each Person, if any, who controls Lender, Merrill Lynch or any such Affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and any other placement agent or underwriter with respect to any Securitization or Secondary Market Transaction from and against any losses, claims, damages and liabilities that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Disclosure Document as to the Borrowers, Guarantor, Manager and the Properties or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such information or necessary in order to make the statements in such information not materially misleading; provided, however, the Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify Merrill Lynch for any liabilities arising out of untrue statements or omissions that were identified to Lender in writing or are set forth in any third party report not prepared by the Borrowers or their Affiliates unless such reports are caused to be incorrect or misleading based upon information provided by the Borrowers or their Affiliates. Lender may publicize the existence of the Obligations in connection with Lender's Secondary Market Transaction activities or otherwise. SECTION 10.4 ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS. In any Secondary Market Transaction, Lender may transfer its obligations under this Loan Agreement and under the other Loan Documents (or may transfer the portion thereof corresponding to the transferred portion of the Obligations), and thereafter Lender shall be relieved of any obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents arising after the date of said transfer with respect to the transferred interest. Each transferee investor shall become a "Lender" hereunder. 93 ARTICLE XI RESTRICTIONS ON LIENS, TRANSFERS; ASSUMABILITY; RELEASE OF PROPERTIES SECTION 11.1 RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND ENCUMBRANCE.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents, at any time after the earlier to occur of (x) the second (2nd) anniversary of the date that is the "startup day," within the meaning of Section 860G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time or any successor statute (the "Code"), of a "real estate mortgage investment conduit," within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code, that holds this Note and (y) forty-eight (48) months after the date of this Note, the Borrowers shall have the right to defease all or any portion of the Loan evidenced by this Note with U.S. Government Securities (a "Defeasance"); provided that a partial Defeasance of this Note shall be permitted only in connection with the release of one or more of the Properties from the lien of the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents in accordance with Section 11.4 of the Loan Agreement and upon the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent (all of which conditions shall become covenants upon occurrence of the Defeasance): (i) The Borrowers shall provide to Lender not less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice specifying the date on which the Defeasance Deposit (hereinafter defined) is to be made (the date so specified may be referred to as the "Defeasance Election Date"). (ii) The Borrowers shall pay to Lender on the Defeasance Election Date all interest accrued and unpaid on the outstanding principal amount of this Note due through the Defeasance Election Date, or through the end of the Interest Accrual Period during which the Defeasance Election Date occurs if the Defeasance Election Date is other than a Payment Date, and the scheduled principal amortization payment due on such Defeasance Election Date, or due upon the next succeeding Payment Date if the Defeasance Election Date is other than a Payment Date, together with all other amounts, if any, then due and payable under this Note, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents. (iii) The Borrowers shall irrevocably deposit with Lender an amount of U.S. Government Securities (hereinafter defined) which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than the due dates of the payments owing hereunder, cash in an amount sufficient, without reinvestment, in the opinion of a firm of independent certified public accountants reasonably acceptable to Lender expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to Lender (the "CPA Certificate"), (1) with respect to a total Defeasance, to pay and discharge the Scheduled Defeasance Payments (hereinafter defined) for the principal balance of this Note or (2) with respect to a partial Defeasance in connection with the release of one or more Properties, to pay and discharge the Scheduled Defeasance Payments relating to the Release Price for such Property or Properties (the U.S. Government Securities so deposited together with any interest or other increase from the issuer of the securities earned thereon, and any replacements thereof, shall be referred to herein as the "Defeasance Deposit"). All such U.S. Government Securities, if in registered form, shall be registered in the name of Lender or its nominee (and, if registered in nominee's name, endorsed to Lender or in blank) and, if issued in book-entry form, the name of Lender or its 2 Promissory Note (FX-2) nominee shall appear as the owner of such securities on the books of the Federal Reserve Bank or other party maintaining such book-entry system. (iv) The Borrowers shall cause the following to be delivered to Lender on or prior to the Defeasance Election Date, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender: (a) a security agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, creating a first priority lien on the Defeasance Deposit (the "Defeasance Security Agreement"); (b) the CPA Certificate; (c) a certificate of the Borrowers certifying that all requirements for the Defeasance set forth herein have been satisfied; (d) an opinion of counsel for the Borrowers in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender to the effect that (i) Lender has a perfected first priority security interest in the Defeasance Deposit, (ii) the holder of this Note will not recognize additional income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the Defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the Defeasance had not occurred, (iii) any holder, trustee or custodian of this Note which is a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code will not fail to maintain its status as such as a result of the Defeasance and (iv) the Defeasance Security Agreement is enforceable against the Borrowers in accordance with its terms; (e) evidence in writing from the applicable Rating Agencies for any Securities backed in whole or in part by this Note, to the effect that the Defeasance will not result in a downgrading, withdrawal, or qualification of the ratings in effect immediately prior to such Defeasance for any class of such then outstanding Securities; (f) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that each of the Borrowers remains validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state where it is organized and, to the extent required by applicable law, qualified to do business in the state where its respective Property is located; and the Borrowers shall maintain such existence during the time thereafter when this Note shall be outstanding (unless a Successor Borrower (hereinafter defined) assumes the obligations of each of the Borrowers or the Defeasing Borrower(s) (as hereinafter defined), as the case may be, under this Note); and (g) a certificate of the Borrowers certifying that all of the representations, and warranties contained in the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects as of the Defeasance Election Date and ratifying all of the covenants and obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents as of such date and such other certificates, documents or instruments as Lender may reasonably request or as may be required by the Rating Agencies referred to above, provided that such certificates, documents or instruments shall not increase the Borrowers' obligations or decrease the Borrowers' rights under the Loan Documents. 3 Promissory Note (FX-2) (v) Either (1) each of the Borrowers in the case of a total Defeasance, or the Defeasing Borrower(s) in the case of a partial Defeasance shall deliver to Lender a certificate stating that at all times following the Defeasance, the Borrowers or the Defeasing Borrower(s), as the case may be, shall have no interest in any assets other than the Defeasance Deposit, or (2) such Borrower(s) shall satisfy all of the requirements of Section C below. (vi) The Borrowers shall pay to Lender all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with the Defeasance. (vii) In the event only a portion of the Loan evidenced by this Note is the subject of the Defeasance in connection with the release of any Lien of any applicable Mortgage on one or more individual Properties under Section 11.4 of the Loan Agreement, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver all necessary documents to amend and restate this Note and issue two substitute promissory notes therefor: one note having a principal balance equal to the defeased portion of the original Note (the "Defeased Note") and one note having a principal balance equal to the undefeased portion of the original Note (the "Undefeased Note"). The Defeased Note and the Undefeased Note shall have identical terms as the original Note (and the Defeased Note and the Undefeased Note or Notes shall be cross-defaulted with each other), except for the principal balance. A Defeased Note cannot be the subject of any further Defeasance. An Undefeased Note may be the subject of a further Defeasance in accordance with the terms of this Note and the Loan Agreement (the term "Note", as used above in this clause (vii) for these purposes, being deemed to refer to the Undefeased Note that is the subject of further defeasance); provided, however, that no such partial Defeasance shall take place unless the conditions hereof and the conditions of Section 11.4 of the Loan Agreement are satisfied. B. Upon compliance with the requirements of Section A above and compliance with the requirements of Section 11.4 of the Loan Agreement, Lender shall cause each of the Properties, in the case of a total Defeasance, or each Defeased Property (as hereinafter defined), in the case of a partial Defeasance, to be released from the lien of the applicable Mortgages and the other applicable Loan Documents. The obligations under the Loan Documents with respect to the Properties or each Defeased Property, as the case may be, shall no longer be applicable, and the Defeasance Deposit shall be the sole source of collateral securing this Note or the Defeased Note, as the case may be. Lender shall apply the Defeasance Deposit and the payments received therefrom to the payment of all scheduled principal and interest payments due on all successive Payment Dates under this Note or the Defeased Note, as the case may be, after the Defeasance Election Date to and including the Maturity Date and to payment of the entire remaining Debt or the entire remaining principal balance, accrued and unpaid interest and other sums due under the Defeased Note, as the case may be, on the Maturity Date (collectively, the "Scheduled Defeasance Payments"). The Borrowers, pursuant to the Defeasance Security Agreement or other appropriate document, shall direct that the payments received from the Defeasance Deposit shall be made directly to Lender and applied to satisfy the obligations of the Borrowers under this Note or the Defeased Note, as the case may be. C. If, after the Defeasance, the Borrowers, in the case of a total Defeasance, or the Defeasing Borrower(s), in the case of a partial Defeasance, will own any assets other than the Defeasance Deposit, the Borrowers or the Defeasing Borrower(s), as the case may be, shall 4 Promissory Note (FX-2) establish or designate a single-purpose, bankruptcy-remote successor entity acceptable to Lender (the "Successor Borrower"), with respect to which a nonconsolidation opinion reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and any applicable Rating Agencies shall be delivered to Lender and such Rating Agencies, in which case the Borrowers or the Defeasing Borrower(s), as the case may be, shall transfer and assign to the Successor Borrower all of their respective obligations, rights and duties under this Note or the Defeased Note, as the case may be, and the Defeasance Security Agreement, together with the pledged Defeasance Deposit. The Successor Borrower shall assume the obligations of the Borrowers or the Defeasing Borrower(s), as the case may be, under this Note or the Defeased Note, as the case may be, and the Defeasance Security Agreement, and such Borrower(s) shall be relieved and released of their respective obligations hereunder and thereunder. Each of the Borrowers or the applicable Defeasing Borrower(s), as the case may be, shall pay not less than $1,000 to the Successor Borrower as consideration for assuming such Borrower's obligations. D. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings: (i) "Defeased Property" shall mean any Property being released from the lien of the Mortgage relating to such Property pursuant to a partial Defeasance in accordance with the provisions of this Note and Section 11.4 of the Loan Agreement. (ii) "U.S. Government Securities" shall mean securities that are (i) direct obligations of the United States of America for the full and timely payment of which its full faith and credit is pledged or (ii) obligations of an entity controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality and guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation which shall be fully and timely paid by the United States of America, which in either case are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof (including a depository receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the United States Securities Act)) as custodian with respect to any such U.S. Government Securities or a specific payment of principal of or interest on any such U.S. Government Securities held by such custodian for the account of the holder of such depository receipt, provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the securities or the specific payment of principal of or interest on the securities evidenced by such depository receipt. (iii) "Defeasing Borrower" shall mean the Borrower owning or leasing, as the case may be, a Defeased Property. (iv) "Release Price" shall have the meaning set forth in the Loan Agreement. E. If, after payment in full of all obligations evidenced by this Note or any other of the Loan Documents, any of the Defeasance Deposit remains, such remaining balance of the Defeasance Deposit shall be returned to the Borrowers (or to the Successor Borrower, as the case may be) or Lender shall assign to the Borrowers (or the Successor Borrower, as the case may be) all of Lender's right, title, and interest in the Government Securities constituting the Defeasance Deposit. 5 Promissory Note (FX-2) PREPAYMENT; PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATION. The Borrowers may not prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time except as expressly provided in Section 2.6 of the Loan Agreement. EVENTS OF DEFAULT; ACCELERATION. Upon and at any time following the occurrence of any Event of Default, then at the option of Lender and without notice, the entire principal amount and all interest accrued and outstanding hereunder and all other amounts outstanding under any of the Loan Documents shall at once become due and payable, and Lender may exercise any and all of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents or pursuant to applicable law. Lender may so accelerate such obligations and exercise such remedies at any time after the occurrence of any Event of Default, regardless of any prior forbearance. LATE CHARGES; DEFAULT INTEREST. If an Event of Default relating to non-payment of any principal, interest or other sums due under this Note or under any of the other Loan Documents shall occur, then the Borrowers shall pay to Lender, in addition to all sums otherwise due and payable, a late fee in an amount equal to five percent (5.0%) of such principal, interest or other sums due hereunder or under any other Loan Document (or, in the case of a partial payment, the unpaid portion thereof), such late charge to be immediately due and payable without demand by Lender. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and in any event from and after the Maturity Date of the Loan, the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest until paid in full at a rate per annum (the "Default Rate") equal to the sum of (i) four percent (4.0%) and (ii) the Interest Rate otherwise applicable under this Note. The Borrowers agree that such late charges and Default Rate of interest are reasonable and do not constitute a penalty. LAWFUL INTEREST. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Note, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Borrowers 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 ("Excess Interest"). If any Excess Interest is provided for or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been provided for in this Note, the Loan Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, then in such event: (1) the provisions of this subsection shall govern and control; (2) the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any Excess Interest; (3) any Excess Interest that Lender may have received hereunder shall be, at Lender's option, (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(s) 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 Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction; and (5) the Borrowers shall not have any action against Lender for any damages arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest. 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 this Note or the Loan Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, 6 Promissory Note (FX-2) 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. CERTAIN RIGHTS AND WAIVERS. From time to time, without affecting the obligation of the Borrowers or their successors or assigns to pay the outstanding principal balance of this Note, interest thereon and other amounts due hereunder and to observe the covenants contained herein, in the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or in any other Loan Document, without affecting the guaranty of any person or entity for payment of the outstanding principal balance of this Note, without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of any Borrower or its successors or assigns or any guarantors or indemnitor, and without liability on the part of Lender, Lender may, at its option, extend the time for payment of the outstanding principal balance of this Note or any part thereof, reduce the payments thereon, release anyone liable for payment of all or a portion of said indebtedness, accept a renewal of this Note, modify the terms and time of payment of said outstanding principal balance, join in any extension or subordination agreement, release any security given herefor, take or release other or additional security, and agree in writing with the undersigned to modify the rate of interest or period of amortization of this Note or change the amount of the monthly installments payable hereunder. Presentment, notice of dishonor, and protest are hereby waived by the Borrowers and all makers, sureties, guarantors and endorsers hereof. This Note shall be binding upon the Borrowers and their successors and assigns. EACH BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS NOTE, THE INSTRUMENTS, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, ANY OTHER AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. ASSIGNMENT AND TRANSFER OF NOTE. Subject to the provisions of the Loan Agreement, Lender shall have the right to assign or transfer, in whole or in part (including the right to grant participation interests in) any or all of its obligations under this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages and any or all of the other Loan Documents. Lender shall be released of any obligations to the extent that the same are so assigned or transferred, and the rights and obligations of "Lender" hereunder shall become the rights and obligations of the transferee holder. LIMITATION ON RECOURSE. Lender's rights of recourse for the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder are limited in accordance with Article XII of the Loan Agreement. This 7 Promissory Note (FX-2) provision shall not limit any rights of Lender under the Guaranty of Recourse Obligations or the Environmental Indemnity, each dated as of the date hereof. ATTORNEYS' FEES, COSTS OF COLLECTION. The Borrowers shall pay to Lender on demand all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred by Lender in collecting the indebtedness arising hereunder or under any other Loan Documents or secured thereby or otherwise exercising any rights or remedies of Lender hereunder or thereunder or at law or in equity or enforcing the obligations of any parties hereto or thereto, or as a consequence of any breach or default by any Borrower or any guarantor hereunder or thereunder, or otherwise as a consequence of any right evidenced or secured by this Note or the Loan Documents. Without limitation, such costs and expenses to be reimbursed by the Borrowers shall include reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in any bankruptcy case or proceeding and in any appeal. APPLICABLE LAW. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and applicable federal law. TIME OF ESSENCE. Time shall be of the essence as to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Note. If the due date of any payment due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall fall on a day other than a Business Day, the Borrowers shall be required to make such payment on the next succeeding Business Day. JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS. The obligations and liabilities of the Borrowers hereunder shall be joint and several.

R E C I T A L S: A. Pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time, the "LOAN AGREEMENT"), among the Borrowers named therein (each, a "BORROWER", and collectively, "BORROWERS"), and Lender, Lender has agreed to make a loan to Borrowers in the aggregate original principal amount of up to Sixty Seven Million Eight Hundred Sixty Four Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($67,864,000.00) (the "LOAN"), subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement; B. As a condition to Lender's making the Loan, Lender is requiring that Guarantor execute and deliver to Lender this Guaranty; and C. Guarantor hereby acknowledges that Guarantor holds a direct and/or indirect ownership interest in each Borrower and that Guarantor will materially benefit from Lender's agreeing to make the Loan.

This Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by Guarantor. (b) ENFORCEABILITY. This Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, or application of general principles of equity in any legal proceeding. (c) NO VIOLATION. The execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of its obligations under this Guaranty do not violate any law, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental body, agency or other instrumentality applicable to Guarantor, or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any mortgage, lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the assets of Guarantor pursuant to the terms of any mortgage, indenture, agreement or instrument to which Guarantor is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound.

Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.9 to the Loan Agreement, there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or at equity, pending or, to Guarantor's knowledge, threatened against or affecting Guarantor or which involve or could reasonably be expected to involve the validity or enforceability of this Guaranty or which might materially adversely affect the financial condition of Guarantor or the ability of Guarantor to perform any of its obligations under this Guaranty. Guarantor is not in default beyond any applicable grace or cure period with respect to any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority which might materially adversely affect the financial condition of Guarantor or the ability of Guarantor to perform any of its obligations under this Guaranty.

None of the aforesaid financial statements or any certificate or statement furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Guarantor in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and none of the representations and warranties in this Guaranty contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein or herein not materially misleading.

SECTION 5. INTENTIONALLY DELETED. SECTION 6. UNCONDITIONAL CHARACTER OF OBLIGATIONS OF GUARANTOR. (a) The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability, in whole or in part, of the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents or any provision thereof, or the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of the obligations of Borrowers under the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or any other Loan Documents or Guarantor under this Guaranty, or any setoff, counterclaim, and irrespective of any other circumstances which might otherwise limit recourse against Guarantor by Lender or constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety. Lender may enforce the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty by a proceeding at law, in equity or otherwise, independent of any loan foreclosure or similar proceeding or any deficiency action against Borrowers or any other Person at any time, either before or after an action against the Properties or any of them or any part thereof, Borrowers or any other Person.

(c) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably waives all defenses in an action brought by Lender to enforce this Guaranty based on claims of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise and all setoffs, reductions, or impairments, whether arising hereunder or otherwise. (d) Lender may deal with Borrowers and Affiliates of Borrowers in the same manner and as freely as if this Guaranty did not exist and shall be entitled, among other things, to grant Borrowers or any other Person such extension or extensions of time to perform any act or acts as may be deemed advisable by Lender, at any time and from time to time, without terminating, affecting or impairing the validity of this Guaranty or the obligations of Guarantor hereunder. (e) No compromise, alteration, amendment, modification, extension, renewal, release or other change of, or waiver, consent, delay, omission, failure to act or other action with 4 Guaranty of Recourse Obligations [FX-2] respect to, any liability or obligation under or with respect to, or of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of, the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents or any amendment, modification or other change of any legal requirement shall in any way alter, impair or affect any of the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, and Guarantor agrees that if any Loan Documents are modified with Lender's consent, the Guaranteed Obligations shall automatically be deemed modified to include such modifications. (f) Lender may proceed to protect and enforce any or all of its rights under this Guaranty by suit in equity or action at law, whether for the specific performance of any covenants or agreements contained in this Guaranty or otherwise, or to take any action authorized or permitted under applicable law, and shall be entitled to require and enforce the performance of all acts and things required to be performed hereunder by Guarantor. Each and every remedy of Lender shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. (g) No waiver shall be deemed to have been made by Lender of any rights hereunder unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender, and any such waiver shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific matter involved and shall in no way impair the rights of Lender or the obligations of Guarantor to Lender in any other respect or at any other time. (h) At the option of Lender, Guarantor may be joined in any action or proceeding commenced by Lender against Borrowers in connection with or based upon the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or any other Loan Documents and recovery may be had against Guarantor in such action or proceeding or in any independent action or proceeding against Guarantor to the extent of Guarantor's liability hereunder, without any requirement that Lender first assert, prosecute or exhaust any remedy or claim against Borrowers or any other Person, or any security for the obligations of Borrowers or any other Person. (i) Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment is made by Borrowers or Guarantor to Lender and such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Lender (as determined by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion) upon insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, receivership, conservatorship, winding up or other similar proceeding involving or affecting any Borrower or Guarantor, all as though such payment had not been made. (j) In the event that Guarantor shall advance or become obligated to pay any sums under this Guaranty or in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or in the event that for any reason whatsoever any Borrower or any subsequent owner of any Property or any part thereof is now, or shall hereafter become, indebted to Guarantor, Guarantor agrees that (i) the amount of such sums and of such indebtedness and all interest thereon shall at all times be subordinate as to the lien, the time of payment and in all other respects to all sums, including principal and interest and other amounts, at any time owed to Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or receive payment thereof until all principal, interest and other sums due pursuant to the Loan Documents have been paid in full. Nothing herein contained is intended or shall be construed to give Guarantor any right of subrogation in or under the Loan Documents or any right to participate in any way therein, or in the right, title or interest of Lender 5 Guaranty of Recourse Obligations [FX-2] in or to any collateral for the Loan, notwithstanding any payments made by Guarantor under this Guaranty, until the actual and irrevocable receipt by Lender of payment in full of all principal, interest and other sums due with respect to the Loan or otherwise payable under the Loan Documents. If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when any such sums due and owing to Lender shall not have been fully paid, such amount shall be paid by Guarantor to Lender for credit and application against such sums due and owing to Lender. The foregoing shall not prohibit Borrowers from using the proceeds of the Loan for any permitted use under the Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, the making of distributions to Guarantor. (k) Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall survive a foreclosure, delivery of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the exercise of any power of sale or similar proceeding involving any Property or any part thereof and the exercise by Lender of any of all of its remedies pursuant to the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall survive for a period of two (2) years following payment in full of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, provided, however, in the event that any Guaranteed Obligations or liabilities of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall have arisen prior to the expiration of such period, then in any such event the foregoing survival period shall not apply and the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder shall survive.

Cross-Guaranty (Fixed 2) NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration for, and as an inducement to, Lender's making the Loans and the Guarantor Loan, and for other good and valuable consideration the legal sufficiency of which and receipt thereof are hereby acknowledged, and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Guarantor Loan Agreement, the Guarantor Loan Documents, the Loan Agreements, the Notes, the Mortgages or any of the other Loan Documents, but subject to the provisions of Article XII of the Guarantor Loan Agreement, Lender and Guarantors do hereby agree as follows: 1. Guarantors, on behalf of themselves and their successors and assigns (collectively, "Successors") do hereby absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably and personally: (i) guaranty to Lender the full and prompt payment and performance when due of the Loans and all other Obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Agreements and (ii) agree to reimburse Lender for, and hold Lender harmless from and against, any and all losses, damages, claims, expenses, deficiencies, liabilities and costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred, suffered or sustained by Lender and/or its successors and assigns as a result of or arising out of, in connection with or resulting from, the enforcement of this Agreement against Guarantors (the obligations of Guarantors under clauses (i) and (ii) above being referred to hereinafter, collectively, as "Guarantors' Obligations"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything else to the contrary contained herein, in the event that any of the Guarantors shall become an Excluded Borrower and the Guarantor Loan shall become an Excluded Loan pursuant to Lender's election under Section 2.12(G) of the Guarantor Loan Agreement to cause any of the Loans to no longer be secured by the Guarantor Properties, this Guaranty shall automatically terminate and shall be of no further force or effect. 2. It is agreed that the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be primary and this Agreement shall be enforceable against Guarantors and their Successors without the necessity for any suit or proceeding of any kind or nature whatsoever brought by Lender against Borrowers or their respective successors or assigns or any other party or against any security for the payment of the Guarantors' Obligations and without the necessity of any notice of non-payment or non-observance or of any notice of acceptance of this Agreement or of any notice of demand to which Guarantors might otherwise be entitled (including, without limitation, diligence, presentment, notice of maturity, extension of time, protest, notice of dishonor or default, change in nature or form of the Guarantors' Obligations, acceptance of further security, release of further security, imposition or agreement arrived at as to the amount of or the terms of the Guarantors' Obligations, notice of adverse change in Borrowers' financial condition and any other fact that might materially increase the risk to Guarantors), all of which Guarantors hereby expressly waive. Guarantors hereby expressly agree that the validity of this Agreement and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall in no way be terminated, affected, diminished, modified or impaired by reason of the assertion of or the failure to assert by Lender against Borrowers, or their successors or assigns, any of the rights or remedies reserved to Lender pursuant to the provisions of the Guarantor Loan Agreement, the Loan Agreements, the Notes, the Mortgages or any other Loan Documents. 3. Guarantors waive, and covenant and agree that they will not at any time insist upon, plead or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any and all appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshaling-of-assets or redemption laws, or right of homestead or exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, that may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance by Guarantors of their obligations under, or the enforcement by Lender of, this Agreement. Guarantors further covenant and agree not to set up or claim any defense, counterclaim, cross-claim, offset, set-off, right of recoupment, or other objection of any kind to any action, suit or proceeding in law, equity or otherwise, or to any demand or claim that may be instituted or made by Lender hereunder other than the defense of the actual timely performance of Guarantors' Obligations hereunder. Guarantors represent, warrant and agree that, as of the date hereof, their obligations under this Agreement are not subject to any 2 Cross-Guaranty (Fixed 2) counterclaims, cross-claims, rights of recoupment, offsets or affirmative or other defenses of any kind against Lender. 4. Guarantors agree that any notice or directive given at any time by Guarantors to Lender that is inconsistent with any waiver contained in this Agreement shall be void and may be ignored by Lender, and, in addition, may not be pleaded or introduced as evidence in any litigation relating to this Agreement for the reason that such pleading or introduction would be at variance with the written terms of this Agreement, unless Lender has specifically agreed otherwise in a writing, signed by a duly authorized officer. Guarantors specifically acknowledge and agree that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the Loan transaction and that, but for this Agreement and such waivers, Lender would not make the Loans to Borrowers. 5. The provisions of this Agreement are for the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between Borrowers and Lender, the obligations of Borrowers under the Loan Agreements, the Notes, the Mortgages or any of the other Loan Documents. 6. This Agreement shall be a continuing guaranty and the liability of Guarantors hereunder shall in no way be terminated, affected, modified, impaired or diminished (to the extent permitted by law) by reason of the happening, from time to time, of any of the following, although without notice or the further consent of Guarantors: (a) any assignment, amendment, modification or waiver of or change in any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of the Guarantor Loan Agreement, the Loan Agreements, the Notes, the Mortgages or any of the other Loan Documents or the invalidity or unenforceability of any of the foregoing; or (b) any extension of time that may be granted by Lender to Borrowers, Guarantors or Guarantors' Successors; or (c) any action that Lender or Borrowers may take or fail to take under or in respect of any of the Loan Documents or by reason of any waiver of, or failure to enforce any of the rights, remedies, powers or privileges available to Lender under this Agreement or available to Lender at law, equity or otherwise, or any action on the part of Lender or Borrowers granting indulgence or extension in any form whatsoever; or (d) any dealing, transaction, matter or thing occurring between Lender, Borrowers, Guarantors or Guarantors' Successors; or (e) any sale, exchange, release, or other disposition of any property pledged, Mortgaged or conveyed, or any property in which Lender has been granted a lien or security interest to secure any indebtedness of Borrowers to Lender; or (f) any release of any person or entity who may be liable in any manner for the payment and collection of any amounts owed by Borrowers to Lender (including the other Guarantors); or (g) the application of any sums by whomsoever paid or however realized to any amounts owing by Borrowers to Lender in such manner as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion; or 3 Cross-Guaranty (Fixed 2) (h) any Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Guarantor Loan Agreement and the Loan Agreements), whether or not Lender has exercised any of its rights and remedies as set forth in the Guarantor Loan Agreement or the Mortgages upon the happening of any such Event of Default; or (i) Borrowers' and/or Guarantors' voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale of all or substantially all of their respective assets and liabilities, appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, sequestrator or conservator for all or any part of Borrowers' or Guarantors' assets, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment, or the commencement of other similar proceedings affecting Borrowers or Guarantors or any of the assets of either of them, including, without limitation, (A) the release or discharge of Borrowers from the payment and performance of their obligations under any of the Loan Documents by operation of law, or (B) the impairment, limitation or modification of the liability of Borrowers, their partners or Guarantors in bankruptcy, or of any remedy for the enforcement of the Guarantors' Obligations, under any of the Loan Documents, or Guarantors' liability under this Agreement, resulting from the operation of any present or future provisions of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or other present or future federal, state or applicable statute of law or from the decision in any court; or (j) any change in or termination of the ownership interest of Guarantors in Borrowers (whether direct or indirect); or (k) any conveyance of the Mortgaged Properties, whether or not pursuant to a foreclosure sale, a deed in lieu of foreclosure, a transfer through bankruptcy, or otherwise. 7. Guarantors acknowledge that this Guaranty and Guarantors' Obligations are and shall at all times continue to be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable in all respects, and shall at all times be valid and enforceable irrespective of any other agreement or circumstances of any nature whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a defense to this Guaranty or the obligations of any other person or party (including, without limitation, Borrower or any other guarantor) relating to this Guaranty or the obligations of Guarantors hereunder. 8. Guarantors agree that if at any time all or any part of any payment at any time received by Lender from Borrowers or Guarantors under or with respect to this Agreement is or must be rescinded or returned by Lender for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrowers or Guarantors), then Guarantors' Obligations hereunder shall, to the extent of the payment rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such previous receipt by Lender, and Guarantors' Obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or reinstated, as the case may be, as to such payment, as though such previous payment to Lender had never been made. 9. Until repayment of the Indebtedness (as such term is defined in the Guarantor Loan Agreement and the Loan Agreements) and satisfaction of all of the obligations under the Guarantor Loan Agreement, Guarantors and each of them (a) shall have no right of subrogation against Borrowers, general partner of any Borrower that is a limited partnership or any other Guarantor by reason of any payments or acts of performance by a Guarantor in compliance with the obligations of a Guarantor hereunder; (b) shall have no right of indemnity, contribution, or any other right or cause of action whatsoever under law or equity against any other Guarantor by reason of any payments or acts of performance by a Guarantor in compliance with the obligations of a Guarantor hereunder; (c) hereby waive any right to enforce any remedy that any Guarantors now or hereafter shall have against Borrowers, general partner of any Borrower that is a limited partnership or any other Guarantor by reason of any one 4 Cross-Guaranty (Fixed 2) or more payments or acts of performance in compliance with the obligations of a Guarantor hereunder; (d) shall subordinate any liability or indebtedness of Borrowers, general partner of any Borrower that is a limited partnership or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor or any affiliate of a Guarantor to the obligations of Borrowers, general partner of any Borrower that is a limited partnership or Guarantor to Lender under the Loan Documents; and (e) shall not file, assert or receive payment on any claim, whether now existing or hereafter arising, against Borrowers, general partner of any Borrower that is a limited partnership or any Guarantor in the event of the commencement of a case by or against Borrowers, general partner of any Borrower that is a limited partnership or any Guarantor under federal or state insolvency laws. 10. Guarantors represent and warrant to Lender, with the knowledge that Lender is relying upon the same, as follows: (a) Guarantors are solvent and have the legal right to enter into this Agreement and to perform their obligations under the terms hereof; (b) to the best of Guarantors' knowledge, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or threatened against or affecting Guarantors at law, in equity, in admiralty or before any arbitrator or any governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality (domestic or foreign) that is likely to result in any material adverse change in the property, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of Guarantors or that is likely to impair materially the ability of Guarantors to perform their obligations under this Agreement; and (c) all financial statements that have heretofore been furnished by Guarantors to Lender in connection with this Agreement, are true, correct and complete; and fairly present the financial condition of Guarantors, all as of the respective dates thereof. 11. Guarantors and Lender acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection and enforcement in respect of any of the Guarantors' Obligations. 12. Lender may freely assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement, but any such assignment shall be made only to the subsequent holder of any of the Notes and no such assignment shall increase Guarantors' Obligations or diminish its rights hereunder. In the event of any such assignment, the consent of Guarantors shall not be required for any such assignment and failure to give notice of such assignment shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any such assignment or subject Lender to any liability and Guarantors shall continue to remain bound by and obligated to perform under and with respect to this Agreement. Guarantors shall not assign any of their obligations under this Agreement without the prior consent of the Lender. 13. The representations, warranties and obligations of Guarantor set forth in this Agreement shall survive until this Agreement shall terminate in accordance with the terms hereof. 14. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements relating to such subject matter and may not be modified, amended, supplemented or discharged except by a written agreement signed by Guarantors and Lender. This Agreement also may be discharged by full performance of the Guarantors' Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof, or as otherwise provided herein. 15. If all or any portion of any provision contained in this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, such provision or portion 5 Cross-Guaranty (Fixed 2) thereof shall be deemed stricken and severed from this Agreement and the remaining provision and portions thereof shall continue in full force and effect. 16. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under or in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given or made (i) three (3) days after the date such notice is mailed, (ii) on the next Business Day if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, (iii) on the date of delivery by personal delivery and (iv) on the date of transmission if sent by telefax during business hours on a Business Day (otherwise the next Business Day).

This Agreement shall be binding upon Guarantors and their Successors and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns. 18. The failure of Lender to enforce any right or remedy hereunder, or promptly to enforce any such right or remedy, shall not constitute a waiver thereof, nor give rise to any estoppel against Lender, nor excuse Guarantors from their obligations hereunder. Any waiver of any such right or remedy to be enforceable against Lender must be expressly set forth in writing signed by Lender. 19. (a) Any suit initiated by Lender against Guarantors or in connection with or arising, directly or indirectly, out of or relating to, this Agreement (an "Action") may, at Lender's option, be brought in any state or federal court in the State of New York, or any state or federal court in which the property is located, having jurisdiction over the subject matter hereof. Guarantors hereby submit themselves to the jurisdiction of any such court and agree that service of process against Guarantors in any such action may be effected by any means permissible under federal law or under the laws of the state in which such Action is brought. Guarantors hereby agree that insofar as is permitted under applicable law, this consent to personal jurisdiction shall be self-operative and no further instrument or action, other than service of process in one of the manners specified in this Guaranty, or as otherwise permitted by law, shall be necessary in order to confer jurisdiction upon Guarantors. 6 Cross-Guaranty (Fixed 2) (b) Guarantors agree that, provided that service of process is effected upon Guarantors in any manner permitted by law, Guarantors irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, (i) any objection that Guarantors may have or may hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any Action brought in any court as provided for by this Agreement, (ii) any claim that any Action brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, or (iii) any claim that Guarantors are not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court. Guarantors agree that, provided that service of process is effected upon Guarantors in one of the manners specified in this Guaranty or as otherwise permitted by law, a final judgment from which Guarantors have not appealed or may not appeal in any Action brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon Guarantors and may, so far as permitted under applicable law, be enforced in the courts of any state or any federal court or in any other courts to the jurisdiction of which it is subject, by a suit upon such judgment and that Guarantors shall not assert any defense, counterclaim or set-off in any such suit upon such judgment. (c) To the extent that Guarantors have or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment before judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to Guarantors or Guarantors' property, Guarantors hereby irrevocably waive such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement. (d) As a further inducement to Lender's making of the Loans to Borrowers, and in consideration thereof, Lender and Guarantors each covenant and agree that in any action or proceeding brought on, under or by virtue of this Agreement, Lender and Guarantors each shall and do hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waive trial by jury. (e) Guarantors hereby further covenant and agree to and with Lender that Guarantors may be joined in any action against Borrowers in connection with the Guarantor Loan Agreement, the Loan Agreements, the Notes, the Mortgages, or any of the other Loan Documents, solely with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. (f) Guarantors covenant and agree to indemnify and save Lender harmless of and from, and defend it against, all losses, costs, liabilities, expenses, damages or claims suffered by reason of Guarantors' failure to perform its obligations hereunder. 20. All of Lender's rights and remedies under the Guarantor Loan Agreement, the Loan Agreements, the Notes, the Mortgages or any of the other Loan Documents or under this Agreement are intended to be distinct, separate and cumulative and no such right or remedy therein or herein mentioned is intended to be in exclusion of or a waiver of any other right or remedy available to Lender. 21. Guarantors hereby consent that from time to time, before or after any default by Borrower, with or without further notice to or assent from Guarantors, any security at any time held by or available to Lender for any obligation of Borrowers, or any security at any time held by or available to Lender for any obligation of any other person or party secondarily or otherwise liable for all or any portion of the Loans, may be exchanged, surrendered or released and any obligation of Borrowers, or of any such other person or party, may be changed, altered, renewed, extended, continued, surrendered, compromised, waived or released in whole or in part, or any default with respect thereto waived, and Lender may fail to set off and may release, in whole or in part, any balance of any deposit account or credit on its books in favor of Borrowers, or of any such other person or party, and may extend further credit in any manner whatsoever to Borrowers, and generally deal with Borrowers or any such security or other person or party as Lender may see fit; and Guarantors shall remain bound under this Agreement 7 Cross-Guaranty (Fixed 2) notwithstanding any such exchange, surrender, release, change, alteration, renewal, extension, continuance, compromise, waiver, action, inaction, extension of further credit or other dealing. This Agreement is independent of, and in addition to, all collateral granted, pledged or assigned under the Loan Documents. 22. The terms of this Agreement have been negotiated, and this Agreement has been executed and delivered in the State of New York, and it is the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of such State. 23. This Agreement may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought. 24. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, which together shall constitute the same instrument. 25. All representations, warranties, covenants (both affirmative and negative) and all other obligations under this Guaranty shall be the joint and several obligation of each of the Guarantors and any default under this Guaranty by any Guarantor shall be deemed a default by all such Guarantors.

A. Hotel Manager has entered into a certain Management Agreement (each a "CONTRACT" and collectively, the "CONTRACTS") with each Borrower, a true, correct and complete copy of which has been delivered to Lender on or prior to the date hereof and the form of which is attached hereto as EXHIBIT A, providing for the performance by Hotel Manager of certain management obligations more particularly described therein with respect to the management and operation of the property as more particularly described therein (each, a "PROPERTY" and collectively, the "PROPERTIES"). B. This Agreement is being executed in order to amend each Contract, to conditionally assign each Borrower's interest therein to Lender, and to subordinate Hotel Manager's rights to payment under the Contracts to Lender's lien on the Properties in connection with Lender's making a loan to Borrowers and certain other borrowers (collectively, the "MORTGAGE BORROWERS") in the original principal amount of up to Sixty Seven Million Eight Hundred Sixty Four Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($67,864,000.00) (the "LOAN") pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of even date herewith (as amended, modified or restated, the "LOAN AGREEMENT"), among Mortgage Borrowers and Lender.

All capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Loan Agreement, a copy of which Hotel Manager hereby acknowledges having received. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Hotel Manager and Borrowers hereby represent, warrant and covenant to Lender as follows: 1. As additional collateral security for the Loan, each Borrower hereby conditionally transfers, sets over and assigns to Lender all of such Borrower's right, title and interest in and to its Contract, said transfer and assignment to automatically become a present, unconditional assignment, at Lender's option, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default by Borrowers under any of the Loan Documents. 2. Hotel Manager hereby agrees that each Contract, all rights, interests and privileges of Hotel Manager thereunder, and all management fees and other payment obligations of each Borrower to Hotel Manager for services rendered by Hotel Manager for the management and operation of its Property, as such services are more particularly described in such Contract, are hereby subordinated to the Loan Documents and the liens in favor of Lender provided for therein, and to all rights of Lender to receive payment from Borrowers under the Note and all other amounts which may be due Lender under the Loan Documents. Hotel Manager recognizes and agrees that so long as the Note is being paid in strict accordance with its terms and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will by virtue of payments to Hotel Manager occur, Hotel Manager shall, subject to the requirements of the Loan Documents, including any such requirements governing management and application of the Properties and Borrower revenues and cash flow, be entitled to receive payments provided for under such Contract in accordance with the terms thereof. Hotel Manager hereby releases, discharges and waives any and all liens, claims, demands of any kind or nature, against each Property, either now or in the future, arising from the services provided by Hotel Manager for the management and operation of such Property. 3. In the event that such Borrower defaults under the terms of its Contract, Hotel Manager agrees that before exercising any rights or remedies with respect thereto, it will notify Lender of such default. Upon Lender's request, Hotel Manager will continue to perform under such Contract until such time as Lender may elect to terminate such Contract, provided that Hotel Manager shall continue to receive all fees payable to it under such Contract. Subject to the foregoing, Hotel Manager agrees that it shall not be entitled to receive any management fee or other fee, commission or other amount payable under the Contract or otherwise for and during any period of time that any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, provided that Hotel Manager shall not be obligated to return or refund to Lender any management fee or other fee, commission or other amount already received by Hotel Manager prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default, and to which Hotel Manager was entitled under paragraph 2 above. In all events, Hotel Manager recognizes that the maximum amount that shall be due and payable under each Contract is the amount stated therein (such amount being adequate to complete the services called for in such Contract), and that Hotel Manager will not claim any incidental, consequential, or exemplary damages of any nature as a condition to completing its performance under the Contract. 4. In the event that (a) Hotel Manager becomes insolvent, or (b) an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, or (c) any default occurs by Hotel Manager under the Management Agreement beyond the expiration of any notice and cure periods, or (d) any other event occurs which, under the terms of the Loan Documents, entitles Lender to direct Borrower to replace Hotel Manager, Lender may exercise its rights under the Loan Documents and direct any Borrower to terminate its Contract and/or to replace Hotel Manager with a management company chosen by such Borrower and reasonably acceptable to Lender. Upon receiving notice 2 of any such election, Hotel Manager shall abide by such direction to terminate and cooperate with any replacement manager approved or designated by Lender. No termination fee or other compensation shall be due or owing under such Contract as a result of any such termination other than accrued unpaid fees. 5. Without limiting the foregoing, subject to the second sentence of paragraph 3 hereof, in the event Lender forecloses or otherwise succeeds to the rights of any Borrower with respect to any Property, Lender shall have the option upon written notice to Hotel Manager delivered within thirty (30) days following foreclosure by Lender or other acquisition of such Property by Lender, either to (a) terminate the applicable Contract without any obligation or liability of Lender to pay the termination fees, if any; or (b) continue such Contract in effect upon all of the terms and provisions provided in such Contract, except that Lender shall have no obligation to pay any sums due and owing under the Contract as of the date of foreclosure or other acquisition of such Property, and Lender shall have the right after it elects to continue such Contract under subparagraph (b) hereof to terminate such Contract without cause upon thirty (30) days written notice to Hotel Manager without any obligation or liability of Lender to pay the termination fees, if any other than accrued unpaid fees. Hotel Manager acknowledges and agrees with Lender that Lender has not assumed any obligations or liabilities of such Borrower to Hotel Manager under such Contract. If Lender chooses not to continue any Contract following a foreclosure or other acquisition of any Property, the only compensation from Lender for which Hotel Manager shall be entitled under such Contract shall be for the period commencing with the date of such foreclosure or other acquisition and ending upon the subsequent termination by Lender of such Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in the event Lender forecloses or otherwise succeeds to the rights of any Borrower with respect to its Property, upon Lender's request, Hotel Manager agrees to transfer and assign to Lender, or its designee, to the extent possible, all applicable licenses (including, without limitation, each liquor license and beer permit), permits and approvals required for the use, occupancy, operation and maintenance of each of the Property and held by or in the name of Hotel Manager, and, if requested by Lender and permitted by applicable law, enter into such reasonable concession or use agreements with Lender or its designee (subject to appropriate indemnification) as are reasonably necessary to allow Lender or its designee to offer, or cause to be offered, liquor and beer for sale at such Property. For this purpose, Hotel Manager constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the assignment of each of the items referenced in the preceding sentence in the name of Hotel Manager pursuant to this paragraph 5. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. 6. Hotel Manager agrees (a) not to resign as Hotel Manager without ninety (90) days prior written notice to Lender, and (b) not to amend any Contract in any material respect without Lender's prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 7. Hotel Manager acknowledges and agrees that any and all rents, room rents, credit card receipts, other receipts, profits or other sums, including any management fees in excess of the management fees to which Hotel Manager is entitled pursuant to paragraph 2 hereof, and receipts derived from the sale of alcoholic beverages (collectively herein called "PROPERTY PROCEEDS") collected or received by Hotel Manager from the Properties are subject to 3 a security interest of Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, and shall be collected and held by Hotel Manager in trust for the benefit of the applicable Borrower and Lender. Any such Property Proceeds shall be deposited by Hotel Manager within two (2) Business Days of receipt into a deposit account (the "DEPOSIT ACCOUNT") in the name of the Lender and identified in that certain Deposit Account Agreement or other similar agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, modified, replaced or supplemented from time to time, each, a "DEPOSIT ACCOUNT AGREEMENT") among the applicable Borrower, Lender, Hotel Manager and the bank named therein. Upon transfer of any such Property Proceeds to Hotel Manager from the Lock Box Account (as defined in that certain Cash Management Agreement dated as of even date herewith (as amended, restated, modified, replaced or supplemented from time to time, the "CASH MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT"), among Mortgage Borrowers, Lender, Hotel Manager and Wachovia Bank, National Association) as directed by the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Cash Management Agreement, such Property Proceeds shall be used by Hotel Manager for proper expenses and costs of managing and operating the applicable Property as permitted under the applicable Contract, subject, in all instances, to compliance with the Operating Budget and FF&E Budget then in effect and limitations on distributions to Borrowers, each as more fully described in the Loan Agreement. Hotel Manager hereby disclaims any and all interests in the Deposit Account, the Lock Box Account (and any Sub-Accounts thereof), the Property Operating Account and in any of the Property Proceeds. Upon written notice from Lender that an Event of Default has occurred under the Loan Agreement and/or other Loan Documents, Hotel Manager agrees to apply Property Proceeds as instructed by Lender. 8. Hotel Manager represents and warrants that (a) a true, correct and complete copy of each Contract has been delivered to Lender on or prior to the date hereof, the form of which is attached hereto as EXHIBIT A, (b) each Contract is in full force and effect and has not been modified, amended or assigned, except in favor of Lender or its predecessor-in-interest (c) neither Hotel Manager nor, to Hotel Manager's knowledge, any Borrower is in default under any of the terms, covenants or provisions of its Contract, and Hotel Manager knows of no event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a default under any Contract, (d) Hotel Manager has no knowledge of and has not commenced any action or given or received any notice for the purpose of terminating any Contract, and (e) all management fees, commissions and other sums due and payable to the Hotel Manager under each Contract as of the date hereof have been paid in full. 9.

A. Hotel Manager has entered into a certain Management Agreement (each a "CONTRACT" and collectively, the "CONTRACTS") with each Borrower, a true, correct and complete copy of which has been delivered to Lender on or prior to the date hereof and the form of which is attached hereto as EXHIBIT A, providing for the performance by Hotel Manager of certain management obligations more particularly described therein with respect to the management and operation of the property as more particularly described therein (each, a "PROPERTY" and collectively, the "PROPERTIES"). B. This Agreement is being executed in order to amend each Contract, to conditionally assign each Borrower's interest therein to Lender, and to subordinate Hotel Manager's rights to payment under the Contracts to Lender's lien on the Properties in connection with Lender's making a loan to Borrowers and certain other borrowers (collectively, the "MORTGAGE BORROWERS") in the original principal amount of up to Sixty Seven Million Eight Hundred Sixty Four Thousand and No/100 dollars ($67,864,000.00) (the "LOAN") pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of even date herewith (as amended, modified or restated, the "LOAN AGREEMENT"), among Mortgage Borrowers and Lender. The Loan is evidenced by a certain Promissory Note, dated of even date herewith (as amended, modified or restated, and any replacements or substitutes therefor (by means of multiple notes or otherwise), the "NOTE"), made by Mortgage Borrowers in favor of Lender and is secured by, among other things, those certain Mortgages/Deeds of Trust/Deeds to Secure Debt, Assignments of Leases and Rents and Security Agreements, dated as of even date herewith (as amended, modified, restated, spread or consolidated, collectively, the "SECURITY INSTRUMENT"), in favor of Lender (the Note, the Security Instrument, the Loan Agreement, this Agreement and all other documents executed in connection with the Loan are collectively referred to as the "LOAN DOCUMENTS"). All capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Loan Agreement, a copy of which Hotel Manager hereby acknowledges having received. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Hotel Manager and Borrowers hereby represent, warrant and covenant to Lender as follows: 1. As additional collateral security for the Loan, each Borrower hereby conditionally transfers, sets over and assigns to Lender all of such Borrower's right, title and interest in and to its Contract, said transfer and assignment to automatically become a present, unconditional assignment, at Lender's option, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default by Borrowers under any of the Loan Documents. 2. Hotel Manager hereby agrees that each Contract, all rights, interests and privileges of Hotel Manager thereunder, and all management fees and other payment obligations of each Borrower to Hotel Manager for services rendered by Hotel Manager for the management and operation of its Property, as such services are more particularly described in such Contract, are hereby subordinated to the Loan Documents and the liens in favor of Lender provided for therein, and to all rights of Lender to receive payment from Borrowers under the Note and all other amounts which may be due Lender under the Loan Documents. Hotel Manager recognizes and agrees that so long as the Note is being paid in strict accordance with its terms and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will by virtue of payments to Hotel Manager occur, Hotel Manager shall, subject to the requirements of the Loan Documents, including any such requirements governing management and application of the Properties and Borrower revenues and cash flow, be entitled to receive payments provided for under such Contract in accordance with the terms thereof. Hotel Manager hereby releases, discharges and waives any and all liens, claims, demands of any kind or nature, against each Property, either now or in the future, arising from the services provided by Hotel Manager for the management and operation of such Property. 3. In the event that such Borrower defaults under the terms of its Contract, Hotel Manager agrees that before exercising any rights or remedies with respect thereto, it will notify Lender of such default. Upon Lender's request, Hotel Manager will continue to perform under such Contract until such time as Lender may elect to terminate such Contract, provided that Hotel Manager shall continue to receive all fees payable to it under such Contract. Subject to the foregoing, Hotel Manager agrees that it shall not be entitled to receive any management fee or other fee, commission or other amount payable under the Contract or otherwise for and during any period of time that any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, provided that Hotel Manager shall not be obligated to return or refund to Lender any management fee or other fee, commission or other amount already received by Hotel Manager prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default, and to which Hotel Manager was entitled under paragraph 2 above. In all events, Hotel Manager recognizes that the maximum amount that shall be due and payable under each Contract is the amount stated therein (such amount being adequate to complete the services called for in such Contract), and that Hotel Manager will not claim any incidental, consequential, or exemplary damages of any nature as a condition to completing its performance under the Contract. 4. In the event that (a) Hotel Manager becomes insolvent, or (b) an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, or (c) any default occurs by Hotel Manager under the Management Agreement beyond the expiration of any notice and cure periods, or (d) any other event occurs which, under the terms of the Loan Documents, entitles Lender to direct Borrower to replace Hotel Manager, Lender may exercise its rights under the Loan Documents and direct any Borrower to terminate its Contract and/or to replace Hotel Manager with a management 2 company chosen by such Borrower and reasonably acceptable to Lender. Upon receiving notice of any such election, Hotel Manager shall abide by such direction to terminate and cooperate with any replacement manager approved or designated by Lender. No termination fee or other compensation shall be due or owing under such Contract as a result of any such termination other than accrued unpaid fees. 5. Without limiting the foregoing, subject to the second sentence of paragraph 3 hereof, in the event Lender forecloses or otherwise succeeds to the rights of any Borrower with respect to any Property, Lender shall have the option upon written notice to Hotel Manager delivered within thirty (30) days following foreclosure by Lender or other acquisition of such Property by Lender, either to (a) terminate the applicable Contract without any obligation or liability of Lender to pay the termination fees, if any; or (b) continue such Contract in effect upon all of the terms and provisions provided in such Contract, except that Lender shall have no obligation to pay any sums due and owing under the Contract as of the date of foreclosure or other acquisition of such Property, and Lender shall have the right after it elects to continue such Contract under subparagraph (b) hereof to terminate such Contract without cause upon thirty (30) days written notice to Hotel Manager without any obligation or liability of Lender to pay the termination fees, if any other than accrued unpaid fees. Hotel Manager acknowledges and agrees with Lender that Lender has not assumed any obligations or liabilities of such Borrower to Hotel Manager under such Contract. If Lender chooses not to continue any Contract following a foreclosure or other acquisition of any Property, the only compensation from Lender for which Hotel Manager shall be entitled under such Contract shall be for the period commencing with the date of such foreclosure or other acquisition and ending upon the subsequent termination by Lender of such Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in the event Lender forecloses or otherwise succeeds to the rights of any Borrower with respect to its Property, upon Lender's request, Hotel Manager agrees to transfer and assign to Lender, or its designee, to the extent possible, all applicable licenses (including, without limitation, each liquor license and beer permit), permits and approvals required for the use, occupancy, operation and maintenance of each of the Property and held by or in the name of Hotel Manager, and, if requested by Lender and permitted by applicable law, enter into such reasonable concession or use agreements with Lender or its designee (subject to appropriate indemnification) as are reasonably necessary to allow Lender or its designee to offer, or cause to be offered, liquor and beer for sale at such Property. For this purpose, Hotel Manager constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the assignment of each of the items referenced in the preceding sentence in the name of Hotel Manager pursuant to this paragraph 5. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. 6. Hotel Manager agrees (a) not to resign as Hotel Manager without ninety (90) days prior written notice to Lender, and (b) not to amend any Contract in any material respect without Lender's prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 7.

Capitalized terms used herein and not herein defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Loan Agreement. C.

The parties intend that this Assignment shall be a present, actual, absolute and unconditional assignment and shall, immediately upon execution, give Lender the right to assume Borrower's interest in the Collateral; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall have a license to utilize the Collateral in accordance with the terms thereof. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under any of the Loan Documents, Borrower's license mentioned in the immediately preceding sentence shall cease and terminate, without the execution of any further instrument or document or the taking of any other act on the part of Lender, and in such event, subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender shall be entitled to utilize the Collateral in Borrower's place and stead, in the name of Borrower or otherwise, and in furtherance thereof, subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender may enter upon the Property and take possession of the Property by its officers, agents or employees, or by a court-appointed receiver, and for the operation, protection, repair and maintenance of the Property, and in connection therewith, Lender shall be entitled to take possession of and use all books of account and financial records of Borrower and its property managers or representatives relating to the Property. 2. Neither this Assignment nor any action or inaction on the part of Lender shall constitute an assumption on the part of Lender of any duty or obligation with respect to the Collateral, nor shall Lender have any duty or obligation to make any payment to be made by Borrower under the Collateral, or to present or file any claim, or to take any other action to -2- collect or enforce the payment of any amounts or the performance of any obligations which have been assigned to Lender or to which it may be entitled hereunder at any time or times.

Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each of the Contracting Parties to rely upon and comply with any notice or demand by Lender for the performance by any such Contracting Party of its obligations under any Document for the benefit of Lender, and no Contracting Party shall have any right or duty to inquire whether an Event of Default has actually occurred, and Borrower shall have no right to countermand its authorization herein to the Contracting Parties to perform for the benefit of Lender. 6.

Borrower, at its expense, shall execute and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as Lender, from time to time, may reasonably request in order to obtain the full benefits of this Assignment and of the rights and powers herein created and to maintain and perfect the security interest granted in this Assignment.

Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Lender is making a Loan to Borrower in the aggregate original principal amount of up to $67,864,000 (the "LOAN"). The Loan is evidenced by a certain Promissory Note, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified, restated or split from time to time, the "NOTE") and secured by, inter alia, those certain Mortgages/Deeds of Trust/Deeds to Secure Debt, Assignments of Leases and Rents and Security Agreements, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified or restated from time to time, collectively, the "SECURITY INSTRUMENT"), with respect to the Property. D. As a condition to Lender's making the Loan, Lender is requiring that Indemnitors indemnify the Indemnified Parties (as hereinafter defined) with respect to environmental conditions or liabilities on, in, under or affecting the Property as hereinafter set forth. E. Obligor holds a direct and/or indirect ownership interest in Borrower and will derive substantial economic benefit from Lender making the Loan to Borrower. NOW, THEREFORE, to induce Lender to extend the Loan to Borrower and in consideration of the foregoing premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Indemnitors hereby covenant and agree for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties as follows: 1. DEFINITIONS. The following terms shall have the following meanings when used herein: "COSTS" shall mean, collectively, all liens, damages, losses, fines, liabilities (including, without limitation, any strict liability), obligations, settlements, penalties, assessments, citations, directives, claims, litigations, demands, response costs (including, without limitation, investigation, removal, remediation, mitigation, containment, post-closure and monitoring costs), defenses, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, laboratory fees, disbursements and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys', consultants' and experts' fees and disbursements). Costs shall also include any future reduction in sales price of, or unmarketability and consequent inability of Lender to foreclose on or otherwise sell, the Property and the lost opportunity costs resulting from the inability of Lender to sell or dispose of its interest in the Property, all as a consequence of any event described in paragraph 2 herein to the extent that such loss in value results in Lender receiving in any foreclosure, or deed in lieu thereof, of the Properties less than the full amount of the Obligations by reason of any matter set forth in Section 2. "ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS" shall have the meaning given to such term in the Loan Agreement. "HAZARDOUS MATERIAL" shall have the meaning given to such term in the Loan Agreement. "INDEMNIFIED PARTY" shall mean Lender, any subsequent holder of the Note and each of their officers, directors, shareholders, principals, partners, representatives, employees, agents, successors and assigns. "TENANTS" shall mean all tenants, lessees, subtenants and other occupants of the Property. 2. INDEMNITY. (a) Except as provided in Section 2(b) below, Indemnitors hereby assume liability for, and agree to pay, protect, defend, indemnify and save all Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all Costs which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or awarded against any of the Indemnified Parties or the Property, and arising directly or indirectly from: (i) the violation or alleged violation of any Environmental Laws relating to or affecting the Property, whether or not caused by or within the control of Indemnitors; (ii) the actual or alleged presence, release or threat of release of, or exposure to any Hazardous Material on, in, under or affecting all or any portion of the Property or any surrounding areas, regardless of whether or not caused by or within the control of Indemnitors; (iii) any actual or alleged personal injury or property damage arising out of or related to Hazardous Material on the Property; (iv) any acts or omissions that exacerbate an existing condition at the Property and give 2 rise to liability under any Environmental Law; (v) the failure by Indemnitors to comply fully with the terms and conditions of this Agreement in all material respects; (vi) a material breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement; (vii) the enforcement of this Agreement; or (viii) assessment, investigation, containment, monitoring, remediation and/or removal of any and all Hazardous Material from the Property or any surrounding areas, and costs incurred to comply with Environmental Laws in connection with the Property or any surrounding areas. (b) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, Indemnitors shall have no liability under this Agreement with respect to Costs relating to Hazardous Material which is initially placed on, in or under the Property after the earlier of (i) Lender or any receiver appointed at the request of Lender taking actual possession and control of the Property following an Event of Default, and (ii) Lender completing a foreclosure or other sale pursuant to which Lender takes title to the Property. Indemnitors shall have no liability under this Agreement to any Indemnified Party with respect to Costs which result from such Indemnified Party's willful misconduct or gross negligence. In addition to the foregoing, Obligor shall have no liability pursuant to this Agreement with respect to costs relating to Hazardous Material which is initially placed on, in or under the Property after the transfer of the Mezzanine Borrowers' equity interest in the applicable Borrower to the Mezzanine Lender or its designee by reason of, or in lieu of, enforcement of the Mezzanine Lender's rights under the Mezzanine Loan Documents. (c) Indemnitors' obligation to defend the Indemnified Parties hereunder shall include defense at both the trial and appellate levels and shall be with attorneys, consultants and experts selected by Indemnitor and subject to the reasonable approval of the Indemnified Parties. 3. REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING HAZARDOUS MATERIAL. Indemnitors hereby represent and warrant to agree with the Indemnified Parties as follows: (a) Indemnitors, the Property and all businesses or operations conducted thereon are in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws in all material respects; (b) Except as previously disclosed to Lender in the Phase I Reports, no Hazardous Material has been disposed of on or released (as used herein, "RELEASE" shall have the meaning provided in 42 U.S.C. Section 9601(22)) at, onto or under the Property by any Indemnitor or, to Indemnitors' knowledge, by any other Person that has not been remediated in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws or that is present at or under the Property at a level in excess of that allowed by applicable Environmental Laws; (c) Except as previously disclosed to Lender in the Phase I Reports, no Hazardous Material is located in, on or under, or has been handled, generated, stored, processed or discharged from the Property in violation of applicable Environmental Laws by any Indemnitor or, to the Indemnitors' knowledge, by any other Person, except for those materials used by Borrowers, Manager or tenants of the Property ("TENANTS") in the ordinary course of their business in material compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and not reasonably expected to give rise to liability under applicable Environmental Laws; 3 (d) Indemnitors have received no written notice that the Property is subject to any private or governmental lien or judicial or administrative notice or action relating to or arising under applicable Environmental Laws; (e) Except as previously disclosed to Lender in the Phase I Reports, there are no underground storage receptacles or surface impoundments, landfills or dumps for Hazardous Material on the Property; (f) Indemnitors have received no notice of, and to Indemnitors' knowledge there exists no investigation, action, proceeding or claim by any agency, authority or unit of government or by any third party asserted or threatened which could result in any liability, penalty, sanction or judgment under any applicable Environmental Laws with respect to any condition, use or operation of the Property, nor do Indemnitors know of any basis for any of the foregoing; (g) Except as previously disclosed to Lender in the Phase I Reports or the Property Condition Reports, there is no asbestos-containing material or lead-based paint at the Property nor are there any polychlorinated biphenyls ("PCB'S"), endangered species' habitats or wetlands at the Property; (h) Indemnitors have received no notice that, and to Indemnitors' knowledge, there has been no claim by any party that, any use, operation or condition of the Property has caused any nuisance or any other liability or adverse condition on any other property nor do Indemnitors know of any basis for such a claim relating to Hazardous Material; (i) Except as previously disclosed in writing to Lender, Indemnitor has not knowingly waived or released any Person's liability with regard to Hazardous Material in, on, under or around the Property nor retained or assumed, contractually or otherwise, any other Person's liability relative to Hazardous Material or any claim, action or proceeding relating thereto; and (j) Except as previously disclosed to Lender in the Phase I Reports, neither the Property nor any other property owned by any Borrower (i) is included or, to Indemnitor's knowledge, proposed for inclusion on the National Priorities List issued pursuant to CERCLA (hereinafter defined) by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") or on any of the inventories of other potential "Problem" sites issued by the EPA or other applicable Governmental Authority nor (ii) otherwise identified by the EPA as a potential CERCLA site or included or, to Indemnitor's knowledge, proposed for inclusion on any such list or inventory issued pursuant to any other applicable Environmental Law or issued by any other Governmental Authority. 4. COVENANTS OF INDEMNITORS. (a) So long as any Borrower or Affiliate thereof owns or is in possession of the Property, Indemnitors shall, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all property managers, agents, employees and Tenants to: (i) comply with all Environmental Laws applicable to the Property, (ii) keep or cause the Property to be kept free from Hazardous Material (except those materials used by Borrower, Manager or Tenants in the ordinary course of 4 their business, in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws), (iii) not install or use, or permit the installation or use of, any underground receptacles containing Hazardous Material on the Property, (iv) expressly prohibit the use, generation, handling, storage, production, release, processing and disposal of Hazardous Material by all future Tenants and Managers (except those substances used by such Tenants or Managers in the ordinary course of their business in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws) and use all commercially reasonable efforts to prevent existing Tenants, Managers and other permitted occupants of the Property from taking any such actions, (v) in any event, not install on the Property or permit to be installed on the Property PCB's, urea formaldehyde insulation, asbestos or any substance containing asbestos or any material containing lead-based paint, (vi) prohibit the disposal and/or release of any Hazardous Material in violation of applicable Environmental Laws on, at or beneath, the Property, (vii) operate and maintain, or cause to be operated and maintained, the HVAC systems at the Property in accordance with standards for operation of similar systems located at properties that are similar (including, without limitation, the manner, class of operation, and/or Franchisor standards) to the Property, (viii) cause the Required Capital Improvements which relate to mold to be completed in accordance with the standards and time frames set forth in Section 6.5 of the Loan Agreement, and (ix) not permit any Lien imposed pursuant to any applicable Environmental Law to be imposed or, subject to Section 4(c) below, to remain on the Property. (b) Indemnitors shall promptly notify Lender in writing should any Indemnitor become aware of (i) any release, disposal or discharge of Hazardous Material in violation of applicable Environmental Laws, or other material actual environmental problem or liability, with respect to or affecting the Property, (ii) any lien, action or notice of violation or potential liability affecting the Property or Borrowers and arising under any applicable Environmental Law, (iii) the institution of any investigation, inquiry or proceeding concerning Borrowers or the Property pursuant to any applicable Environmental Law or otherwise relating to Hazardous Material affecting the Property, (iv) the discovery of any occurrence, condition or state of facts which would render any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement incorrect or incomplete in any material respect if made at the time of such discovery, (v) any remedial action taken by Indemnitors or, if actually known by Indemnitor, any other Person in response to any Hazardous Material on, under or at the Property, (vi) the discovery by Indemnitors of any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Property that would reasonably be expected to cause the Property or any part thereof to be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, transferability or use thereof under any applicable Environmental Laws, and (vii) any request for information from any governmental agency that indicates such agency is investigating whether Indemnitors may be potentially responsible for a release, disposal or discharge of Hazardous Material. Borrowers shall promptly notify Lender of any proposed action to be taken pertaining in any way to the Property to commence any operations that could reasonably be expected to subject any Borrower or the Property to additional obligations or liabilities under applicable Environmental Laws, including laws, rules and regulations requiring additional or amended environmental permits or licenses which could reasonably be expected to subject any Borrower to any material obligations or requirements under any applicable Environmental Laws. Borrowers shall, at their own expense, provide copies of such documents or information as Lender may reasonably request in relation to any matters disclosed pursuant to this Section. Indemnitor shall promptly transmit to Lender 5 copies of any and all material citations, orders, notices and all other communications sent or received by any Borrower relating to any of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph. (c) Regardless of the source of contamination, Indemnitors shall, at their own expense, promptly take or cause to be taken and diligently prosecute all actions required by applicable Environmental Laws for the clean-up of the Property and other property affected by contamination in, on, under or at the Property, including, without limitation, all investigative, monitoring, removal, containment and remedial actions in accordance with and required by all applicable Environmental Laws (and in all events in a manner satisfactory to the applicable Governmental Authority and reasonably satisfactory to Lender). Indemnitor shall further pay or cause to be paid, at no expense to any Indemnified Party, all clean-up, administrative and enforcement costs of applicable governmental agencies which may be asserted against the Property. In the event Indemnitors fail to do so, or following an Event of Default, Lender may, at its sole election, cause the Property or other affected property to be freed from any Hazardous Material located thereon at a level in excess of that allowed by applicable Environmental Laws, or otherwise be brought into compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, and any cost incurred in connection therewith shall be included in Costs. Borrowers hereby grant to Lender access to the Property and an irrevocable license to remove any Hazardous Material and to do all things necessary to bring the Property into compliance in all material respects with applicable Environmental Laws. However, Lender shall have no obligation to inspect or clean up any Hazardous Material. Lender shall not be deemed a generator of any Hazardous Material removed from the Property. (d) Upon the request of Lender, at any time (i) after the occurrence of an Event of Default or (ii) Lender has reasonable grounds to believe that (A) Hazardous Material is or has been released, stored or disposed of, or existing, on or around the Property at a level in excess of that allowed by applicable Environmental Laws or (B) the Property may be in material violation of applicable Environmental Laws, Indemnitors shall cause an investigation or audit of the Property to be undertaken by a hydrogeologist or environmental engineer or other appropriate consultant reasonably approved by Lender to determine whether any Hazardous Material is located on, at, beneath, or near the Property and/or whether the Property is in compliance in all material respects with Environmental Laws. The scope of any investigation or audit shall be approved by Lender in Lender's reasonable discretion. If Indemnitors fail to provide reports of such investigation or audit within thirty (30) days after such request, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, order the same. Borrowers hereby grant to Lender and Lender's contractors access to the Property and an irrevocable license to undertake such investigation or audit provided that such investigation is conducted in a manner so as not to unreasonably affect Borrowers' operations at the Property. All reasonable costs of any such investigation or audit shall be included in Costs and shall be paid by Indemnitors in accordance with the terms of paragraph 5(c) hereof. (e) In the event that a Lien is filed against the Property pursuant to any applicable Environmental Law, Indemnitors shall, within ten (10) Business Days from the date that any Borrower receives notice of such Lien (but in any event ten (10) days prior to the date of any contemplated sale pursuant to such Lien), either (i) pay the claim and remove the Lien from the Property, or (ii) furnish, at Indemnitor's option, (A) a bond satisfactory to Lender in the amount of the claim out of which the Lien arises, (B) a cash deposit in the amount of the claim 6 out of which the Lien arises, (C) other security reasonably satisfactory to Lender in an amount sufficient to discharge the claim out of which the Lien arises, or (D) security in a form and amount satisfactory to the applicable Governmental Authority pursuant to a valid consent or other order, and Indemnitors shall promptly arrange for the removal of the Lien. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnitors shall prevent a sale pursuant to any Lien. (f) The amount of Indemnitors' liability hereunder is unrelated to the amount of the Loan and any failure of the Loan to be repaid in full. The enforcement of this Agreement by the Indemnified Parties shall not be construed by Indemnitors as an indirect attempt to recover any Loan deficiency or loss relating to the failure of the Loan to be repaid in full. Indemnitors acknowledge that they may have liability hereunder even if the Loan is repaid in full by reason of a full credit bid at any foreclosure sale under the Security Instrument, and that the amount of Indemnitor's liability hereunder could exceed the entire amount paid by Borrower for the Property. 5. INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES. (a) If any action, proceeding, litigation or claim shall be brought or asserted against any Indemnified Party for any matter which the Indemnified Parties are indemnified hereunder (each, a "CLAIM"), such Indemnified Party shall notify Indemnitors in writing thereof and Indemnitors shall promptly assume the defense thereof, including, without limitation, the employment of counsel selected by the Indemnitor and approved by the Indemnified Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and the negotiation of any settlement. Any failure of such Indemnified Party to notify Indemnitors of such matter shall not impair or reduce the obligations of Indemnitors hereunder. The Indemnified Parties shall have the right, at the reasonable expense of Indemnitors (which expense shall be included in Costs), if an Indemnified Party has reason to believe that its interests are not being adequately represented or diverge from other interests being represented by such counsel, to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof at such Indemnitor's sole cost and expense. In the event Indemnitors shall fail to discharge or undertake to defend any Indemnified Party against any Claim, such failure shall constitute an Event of Default and the Indemnified Party may, at its sole election, defend or settle such Claim. The liability of Indemnitors to such Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement by such Indemnified Party shall be conclusively established by any settlement entered into by the Indemnified Party in good faith. The amount of Indemnitors' liability hereunder shall include the settlement consideration and all other Costs, which shall be paid by the Indemnitors as hereinafter provided. Costs incurred in connection with a Claim shall be reimbursed by Indemnitors without the requirement of waiting for the ultimate outcome of such Claim. (b) Indemnitors shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, settle or compromise any Claim in any manner or consent to the entry of any judgment (i) in which the claimant or plaintiff does not unconditionally release the Indemnified Party from all liability and obligations in respect of such Claim and obtain a dismissal of such Claim with prejudice; or (ii) that may adversely affect the Indemnified Party (as determined in the reasonable discretion of such Indemnified Party) or obligate the Indemnified Party to pay any sum or perform any obligation. 7 (c) Indemnitors shall pay to the applicable Indemnified Party any and all Costs within fifteen (15) days after written notice from such Indemnified Party. All Costs shall be immediately reimbursable to the Indemnified Party or, upon request of the Indemnified Party, paid directly to the party sending a bill or other statement to the Indemnified Party. Any Costs not paid within the aforementioned fifteen (15) day period shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date incurred until the date paid in full. 6. REINSTATEMENT OF OBLIGATIONS. If at any time all or any part of any payment received by an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Indemnitor, then the obligations of Indemnitors hereunder shall, to the extent of such rescinded or returned payment, be reinstated and shall continue as though such previous payment received by the Indemnified Party had never occurred. 7. WAIVERS BY INDEMNITORS. To the extent permitted by law, Indemnitors hereby waive and agree not to assert or take advantage of: (a) Any right to require an Indemnified Party (i) to proceed against Borrower or any other Person, (ii) to proceed against or exhaust any security held by any Indemnified Party at any time or (iii) to pursue any other remedy in such Indemnified Party's power or under any other agreement, in any case, before proceeding against Indemnitors hereunder; (b) Any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other Person or the failure of an Indemnified Party to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other Person; (c) Demand, presentment for payment, protest and notice of protest, demand, dishonor and nonpayment and all other notices except as expressly required in the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, notice of new or additional indebtedness or obligations or of any action or non-action on the part of Borrower, Lender, any endorser or creditor of Borrower or of Indemnitor or of any other Person whomsoever under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (d) Any defense based upon an election of remedies, splitting a cause of action or merger of judgments by any Indemnified Party; (e) Any right or claim of right to cause a marshaling of the assets of Indemnitors; (f) Any principle or provision of law, statutory or otherwise, which is or might be in conflict with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; (g) Any duty on the part of any Indemnified Party to disclose to Indemnitors any facts such Indemnified Party may now or hereafter know about Borrower or the Property, regardless of whether such Indemnified Party (i) has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Indemnitors intend to assume, (ii) has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Indemnitors or (iii) has a reasonable opportunity to 8 communicate such facts to Indemnitors, it being understood and agreed that Indemnitors are fully responsible for being informed of the financial condition of Borrower, the condition of the Property and of all other circumstances bearing on the risk that liability may be incurred by Indemnitors hereunder; (h) Any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any one or more of the Loan Documents; (i) Any lack of commercial reasonableness in dealing with the collateral for the Loan; (j) Any deficiencies in the collateral for the Loan or any deficiency in the ability of Lender to collect or to obtain performance from any Persons now or hereafter liable for the payment and performance of any obligation hereby guaranteed; (k) An assertion or claim that the automatic stay provided by 11 U.S.C. Section 362 (arising upon the voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding of Borrower) or any other stay provided under any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, shall operate or be interpreted to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any of its rights, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, which Lender may have against any Indemnitor or the collateral for the Loan; (l) Any modifications of the Loan Documents or any obligation of Borrower relating to the Loan by operation of law or by action of any court, whether pursuant to the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, or otherwise; (m) Any action, occurrence, event or matter consented to by Indemnitors under Section 8(j) hereof, under any other provision hereof, or otherwise; and (n) the failure of any representation and/or warranties made by Borrower, Indemnitor or any other party to be true, complete or correct when given, or at any time thereafter. Indemnitors covenant and agree that upon the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding by or against any Borrower, neither such Indemnitor shall seek a supplemental stay or otherwise pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 105 or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law, or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any rights of Lender against such Indemnitor by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise. 9 8. GENERAL PROVISIONS. (a) Fully Recourse. Notwithstanding any provision of any other Loan Document to the contrary, all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement are recourse obligations of Indemnitors and not restricted by any limitation on personal liability. (b) Right to Indemnification Not Affected by Knowledge. An Indemnified Party's right to defense, indemnification, payment of Costs or other rights and remedies pursuant to this Agreement shall not be diminished or affected in any way by any investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party or other knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by such Indemnified Party through any means at any time. (c) Reliance. Indemnitors hereby acknowledge that Lender would not make the Loan without being able to rely upon the covenants and obligations of Indemnitors set forth herein. Accordingly, Indemnitors intentionally and unconditionally enter into this Agreement. (d) Obligations Unsecured. Indemnitors acknowledge that even though the representations, warranties and covenants of Indemnitors contained herein may be identical or substantially similar to those of Borrower set forth in the Security Instrument, the obligations of Indemnitors hereunder are independent obligations which are not secured by the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents. The Indemnitors further acknowledge that it is the intent of Lender to create separate obligations of Indemnitors hereunder which can be enforced against Indemnitors without regard to the existence of the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents or the liens or security interests created therein. (e) Survival. This Agreement shall be deemed to be continuing in nature, remain in full force and effect and survive indefinitely, notwithstanding the exercise of any remedy by Lender under the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof, even if, as a part of such remedy, the Loan is paid or satisfied in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the obligations and liabilities of Indemnitors under this Agreement shall survive following payment in full of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents for a period equal to the lesser of (x) five (5) years, or (y) if Borrowers deliver Phase I environmental reports for each of the Properties to Lender, acceptable to Lender in all respects, and which Lender determines in its sole discretion demonstrates that no condition exists which may cause any of the liabilities of Indemnitors to arise after delivery thereof, two (2) years following the delivery of such Phase I environmental reports, provided, however, in the event that (a) any obligations or liabilities of the Indemnitors under this Agreement shall have arisen from any Hazardous Material which existed on, in, under or affecting the Property prior to the expiration of such period or (b) if, prior to payment in full of the Loan, Lender shall have exercised any rights or remedies after an Event of Default or any of the Loan Documents shall have been modified or amended or any provision thereof waived pursuant to any workout or restructuring of the Loan (and if, as a consequence thereof, at any time after the expiration of the survival period specified above, Lender shall be unable to avail itself of any exemption from liability available to lenders under any applicable Environmental Law or shall be required to defend any claim or action relating to any Hazardous Material), then in any such event the foregoing survival period shall not apply and the obligations and liabilities of Indemnitors hereunder shall survive. 10 (f) Subordination; No Recourse Against Lender. Obligor hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter owed to Obligor to all indebtedness of Borrower to Lender. Obligor shall not demand or accept any payment of principal or interest from Borrower, shall not claim any offset or other reduction of Obligor's obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness and shall not take any action to obtain any of the collateral for the Loan. Further, Indemnitors shall not have any right of recourse against any Indemnified Party by reason of any action such Indemnified Party may take or omit to take under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents. (g) Reservation of Rights. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent or in any way diminish or interfere with any rights or remedies, including, without limitation, the right to cost recovery or contribution, which any Indemnified Party may have against either Indemnitor or any other party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (codified at Title 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq.), as it may be amended from time to time ("CERCLA"), or any other applicable Federal, state or local laws, all such rights being hereby expressly reserved. (h) Financial Statements. Each Indemnitor hereby agrees to furnish Lender such financial statements and other information as is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Loan Agreement. (i) Nature of Obligations. The obligations of Indemnitors hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrower under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any default hereunder, a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Indemnitors whether or not Indemnitors are the alter ego of Borrower and whether or not Borrower is joined therein or a separate action or actions are brought against Borrower. Lender's rights hereunder shall not be exhausted until all of the obligations of Indemnitor hereunder have been fully paid and performed. (j) No Limitation on Liability. Indemnitors hereby consent and agree that any of the following may occur from time to time, without notice or consideration to, or consent of, Indemnitors, and the liability of Indemnitors hereunder shall remain unconditional and absolute and shall in no way be impaired or limited by reason thereof: (i) any extension of time for performance required by any of the Loan Documents or otherwise granted by Lender or any extension or renewal of the Note; (ii) any sale, assignment or foreclosure of the Note, the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents or any sale or transfer of the Property, except as set forth in Section 2(b); (iii) any change in the composition of Borrower, including, without limitation, the voluntary or involuntary withdrawal or removal of Indemnitors from any current or future position of ownership, management or control of Borrower; (iv) the release of Borrower or of any other Person from performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents by operation of law, Lender's voluntary act or otherwise; 11 (v) the release or substitution in whole or in part of any security for the Loan; (vi) Lender's failure to record the Security Instrument or to file any financing statement (or Lender's improper recording or filing thereof) or to otherwise perfect, protect, secure or insure any lien or security interest given as security for the Loan; (vii) the modification of the terms of any one or more of the Loan Documents; (viii) subject to Section 2(b) hereof, the exercise by Mezzanine Lender of any remedies made available to Mezzanine Lender pursuant to the terms of the Mezzanine Loan Documents, including, without limitation, foreclosure or similar remedies under any pledge agreement encumbering Mezzanine Borrower's interest in General Partner, Member or any Borrower; or (ix) the taking or failure to take any action of any type whatsoever. No such action which Lender shall take or fail to take in connection with the Loan Documents or any collateral for the Loan, nor any course of dealing with Borrower or any other Person, shall limit, impair or release Indemnitor's obligations hereunder, affect this Agreement in any way or afford Indemnitors any recourse against any Indemnified Party. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to require any Indemnified Party to take or refrain from taking any action referred to herein. (k) Representations. Each Indemnitor represents and warrants that there is no bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against it. (l) Professionals' Fees. In the event it is necessary for any Indemnified Party to retain the services of an attorney or any other consultants in order to enforce this Agreement, or any portion hereof, Indemnitors agree to pay to such Indemnified Party any and all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and consultants' fees and disbursements, incurred by such Indemnified Party as a result thereof and all such amounts shall be included in Costs. (m) Successive Actions. A separate right of action hereunder shall arise each time an Indemnified Party acquires knowledge of any matter indemnified or guaranteed by Indemnitors hereunder. Separate and successive actions may be brought hereunder to enforce any of the provisions hereof at any time and from time to time and no action hereunder shall preclude any subsequent action. (n) No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of Lender in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and no course of dealing between Borrower and Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive 12 of any rights or remedies provided by law. The giving of notice to or demand on Borrower which notice or demand is not required hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall not entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights, remedies, powers or privileges of Lender in any circumstances not requiring notice or demand. (o) Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder or under the Note shall be given in the manner set forth in Section 14.5 of the Loan Agreement, to Lender and Borrower at such party's address set forth in Section 14.5 of the Loan Agreement and to each Obligor at its address set forth above, or such other address as Indemnitors or Lender shall hereafter specify by not less than ten (10) days prior written notice as provided herein; provided, however, that notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the contrary, such notice of change of address shall be deemed given only upon actual receipt thereof.

(B) PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATION DUE.

The Borrower Parties agree 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 Prepayment Consideration are reasonable, taking into consideration the circumstances known to the parties at this time, and (iii) such Default Rate and late charges and Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with enforcement of Lender's rights under the Loan Documents shall be due and payable as provided herein, and (iv) such interest at the Default Rate, late charges, Prepayment Consideration, and the obligation to pay Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees and other enforcement costs do not, individually or collectively, constitute a penalty.

Notwithstanding any right of any Borrower to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment from any of the Crossed Obligors, all rights, liens and security interests of each Borrower, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in and to any assets of any of the Crossed Obligors shall be and are subordinated to the rights of Lender in those assets under the Loan Documents, the Crossed Loan Documents or otherwise, and no Borrower shall, until the date that all of the Loan and the Crossed Loans shall have been paid and satisfied in full, (i) assert, collect, sue upon, or enforce all or any part of the Crossed Party Obligations; (ii) commence or join with any other creditors of any of the Crossed Obligors in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or insolvency proceeding against any of the Crossed Obligors; (iii) take, accept, ask for, sue for, receive, set off or demand any payments upon the Crossed Party Obligations; or (iv) take, accept, ask for, sue for, receive, demand or allow to be created liens, security interests, mortgages, deeds of trust or pledges of or with respect to any of the assets of any of the Crossed Obligors in favor of or for the benefit of such Borrower. (D) If all or any part of the assets of any of the Crossed Obligors, or the proceeds thereof, are subject to any distribution, division or application to the creditors of such Crossed Obligor, whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding, or if the business of any such Crossed Obligor is dissolved or if substantially all of the assets of any such Crossed Obligor are sold, then, and in any such event (such events being herein referred to as an "CROSSED OBLIGOR INSOLVENCY EVENT"), any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable to any Borrower upon or with respect to any Crossed Party Obligations shall be paid or delivered directly to the Lender for application on the Loan and the Crossed Loans, due or to become due, until such Loan and Crossed Loans shall have first been fully paid and satisfied (in cash). Should any payment, distribution, security or instrument or proceeds thereof be received by any Borrower upon or with respect to the Crossed Party Obligations after any Crossed Obligor Insolvency Event and prior to the payment in full and satisfaction of all of the Loan and Crossed Loans, such Borrower shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of Lender and shall forthwith deliver the same to Lender in precisely the form 29 received (except for the endorsement or assignment of such Borrower where necessary), for application to any of the Loan or Crossed Loans, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by such Borrower as the property of Lender. If such Borrower fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to Lender, Lender or any of its officers or employees is irrevocably authorized to make the same. Each Borrower agrees that until the Loan and Crossed Loans have been paid in full (in cash) and satisfied, no Borrower will assign or transfer to any individual or entity (other than Lender) any claim such Borrower has or may have against any Crossed Obligor. (E) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(G), to the extent that any collection upon any of the Loan or the Crossed Loans is made by Lender from one of the Crossed Borrowers or the Crossed Properties or other assets of the Crossed Borrowers (a "CROSSED LOANS COLLECTION") which, taking into account all other Crossed Loans Collections then previously or concurrently made by such Crossed Borrower, exceeds the amount which otherwise would have been collected from such Crossed Borrower if each Borrower and each Crossed Borrower had paid the portion of the Loan and Crossed Loans satisfied by such Crossed Loans Collection in the same proportion as such Crossed Borrower's Allocable Amount (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Crossed Loans Collection) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each Borrower and each Crossed Borrower as determined immediately prior to the making of such Crossed Loans Collection, then, following payment in full in cash of the entire Loan and Crossed Loans, such Crossed Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each Borrower and each of the other Crossed Borrowers for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Crossed Loans Collection. As of any date of determination, the "ALLOCABLE AMOUNT" of any Borrower or any Crossed Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim which could then be recovered from such Borrower or Crossed Borrower under the Loan Documents and Crossed Loan Documents without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law. The foregoing provision shall be for the benefit of each of the Crossed Borrowers and Lender, but shall be subject to modification as provided in Section 2.12(G) below and to amendment by agreement of the Borrowers and Lender, in each case without necessity of any agreement, acknowledgment or approval of any Crossed Borrower or any notice to any Crossed Borrower. Section 2.12(E) of each of the Crossed Loan Agreements contains provisions similar to this Section 2.12(E) for the benefit of Lender and (subject to the terms thereof) the Crossed Borrowers. This Section 2.12(E) and Section 2.12(E) of each of the Crossed Loan Agreements are intended only to define the relative rights of the Borrowers and Crossed Borrowers, and nothing set forth in this Section 2.12(E) or in Section 2.12(E) of each of the Crossed Loan Agreements is intended to or shall impair the liens and security interests of the Loan Documents and the Crossed Loan Documents or the obligations of the Borrowers and the Crossed Borrowers thereunder. Each Borrower acknowledges that the rights of contribution and indemnification under this Section 2.12(E) and under Section 2.12(E) of the Crossed Loan Agreements constitute assets of the Borrowers or Crossed Borrowers to which such contribution and indemnification is owing, and any such right of contribution and indemnification owing to any Borrower under Section 2.12(E) of any of the Crossed Loan Agreements shall constitute additional Crossed Party Obligations for all purposes under this Section 2.12. 30 (F) Each Borrower hereby consents and agrees to each of the following, and agrees that such Borrower's obligations under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Liens created under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents securing the Loan and the Crossed Loans shall not be released, diminished, impaired, reduced or adversely affected by any of the following, and waives any common law, equitable, statutory or other rights (including without limitation rights to notice) that such Borrower might otherwise have as a result of or in connection with any of the following: (i) Any renewal, extension, increase, modification, alteration or rearrangement of all or any part of the Crossed Loans, the Crossed Loan Documents, or other document, instrument, contract or understanding between the Crossed Borrowers and Lender, or any other parties, pertaining to the Crossed Loans or any failure of Lender to notify such Borrower of any such action. (ii) Any adjustment, indulgence, forbearance or compromise that might be granted or given by Lender to the Crossed Borrowers. (iii) The insolvency, bankruptcy, arrangement, adjustment, composition, liquidation, disability, dissolution or lack of power of any of the Crossed Borrowers or any other party at any time liable for the payment of all or part of the Crossed Loans; or any dissolution of any of the Crossed Borrowers, or any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of any of the Crossed Borrowers, or any changes in the shareholders, partners or members of any of the Crossed Borrowers; or any reorganization of any of the Crossed Borrowers.

(v) Any full or partial release of the liability of the Crossed Borrowers on the Crossed Loans, or any part thereof, or of any co-guarantors, or any other person or entity now or hereafter liable, whether directly or indirectly, jointly, severally, or jointly and severally, to pay, perform, guarantee or assure the payment of the Crossed Loans, or any part thereof, it being recognized, acknowledged and agreed by each Borrower that such Borrower has not been induced to enter into this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the basis of a 31 contemplation, belief, understanding or agreement that other parties will be liable to pay or perform the Loan or such Borrower's obligations under the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or that Lender will look to other parties to pay or perform the Crossed Loans. (vi) The taking or accepting of any other security, collateral or guaranty, or other assurance of payment, for all or any part of the Crossed Loans. (vii) Any release, surrender, exchange, subordination, deterioration, waste, loss or impairment (including without limitation negligent, willful, unreasonable or unjustifiable impairment) of any collateral, property or security, at any time existing in connection with, or assuring or securing payment of, all or any part of the Crossed Loans. (viii) The failure of or refusal of Lender or any other party acting on behalf of Lender to exercise diligence or reasonable care in the preservation, protection, enforcement, sale or other handling or treatment of all or any part of such collateral, property or security, including but not limited to any neglect, delay, omission, failure or refusal of Lender (A) to take or prosecute any action for the collection of any of the Crossed Loans, (B) to foreclose, or initiate any action to foreclose, or, once commenced, prosecute to completion any action to foreclose upon any security therefor, or (C) to take or prosecute any action in connection with any instrument or agreement evidencing or securing all or any part of the Crossed Loans. (ix) The fact that any collateral, security, security interest or lien contemplated or intended to be given, created or granted as security for the repayment of the Crossed Loans, or any part thereof, shall not be properly perfected or created, or shall prove to be unenforceable or subordinate to any other security interest or lien, it being recognized and agreed by each Borrower that it is not entering into this Loan Agreement in reliance on, or in contemplation of the benefits of, the validity, enforceability, collectibility or value of any of the collateral for the Crossed Loans. (x) Any payment by any of the Crossed Borrowers to Lender is held to constitute a preference under bankruptcy laws, or for any reason Lender is required to refund such payment or pay such amount to any of the Crossed Borrowers or someone else. (xi) Any other action taken or omitted to be taken with respect to the Crossed Loan Documents, the Crossed Loans, or the security and collateral therefor. (G) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Loan Agreement, Lender may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, from time to time (one or more times) deliver written notice to the Borrowers stating that this Loan Agreement, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents shall no longer secure one or more (at Lender's sole election) of the Crossed Loans (each a "CROSS RELEASE NOTICe"), whereupon (i) this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall no longer secure any of the Crossed Loans for which a Cross Release Notice is given (any such Crossed Loan, an "EXCLUDED LOAN", and, collectively, the "EXCLUDED LOAN(S)"; each Crossed Borrower which is the borrower with respect to an Excluded Loan is herein referred to as an "EXCLUDED BORROWER", and the Crossed Loan Agreement, Crossed Mortgages, Cross Side Agreement and other Crossed Loan Documents executed and delivered by the Excluded Borrowers with respect to any Excluded Loan are herein referred to as 32 the "EXCLUDED LOAN AGREEMENT", "EXCLUDED MORTGAGES", "EXCLUDED SIDE AGREEMENT" and "EXCLUDED LOAN DOCUMENTS", respectively, and each Crossed Property encumbered by the Excluded Loan Documents is herein referred to as an "EXCLUDED PROPERTY"), (ii) each Cross Guaranty of the Loan executed by each Excluded Borrower, together with each Cross Guaranty of an Excluded Loan executed by the Borrowers (herein collectively referred to as the "EXCLUDED GUARANTIES") shall be deemed automatically terminated and of no further force or effect, (iii) each reference herein and in the other Loan Documents to the "Crossed Loans" shall be deemed to exclude the Excluded Loans, (iv) each reference herein and in the other Loan Documents to the "Crossed Loan Agreements", "Crossed Mortgages", "Crossed Loan Documents", "Crossed Properties", "Cross Side Agreements" and "Cross Guaranties" shall be deemed to exclude the Excluded Loan Agreement, the Excluded Mortgages, the Excluded Loan Documents, the Excluded Property, the Excluded Side Agreements and the Excluded Guaranties, respectively, (v) each reference herein and in the other Loan Documents to the "Crossed Borrowers" and the "Crossed Obligors" shall be deemed to exclude each Excluded Borrower, (vi) the provisions of Section 2.12(E) of this Loan Agreement shall not apply to any Crossed Loans Collection from any Excluded Borrower or its Excluded Property and the Borrowers shall have no obligation or liability on account thereof; and (vii) Borrowers shall no longer be beneficiaries of the covenants and agreements set forth in Section 2.12(E) of any Excluded Loan Agreement, and the Borrowers shall have no rights or claims on account of any contribution or indemnification obligations of any Excluded Borrower under Section 2.12(E) of any Excluded Loan Agreement.

The Borrowers own and will own at all times all FF&E relating to the Properties (other than personal property which is either owned by tenants of such Property, not used or necessary for the operation of the applicable Property, or leased by the Borrowers as permitted hereunder), subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances. The Mortgages, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (i) a valid, perfected first lien on each of the Properties, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances, and (ii) perfected first priority security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Rents, the Leases, and the FF&E), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances. Lender will have a perfected first priority security interest in and to the FF&E 40 owned by the Borrowers, if any, not located at the Properties.

In addition, where this Loan Agreement requires a "COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATE", the Person required to submit the same shall deliver a certificate duly executed on behalf of such Person by its chief executive officer or chief financial officer (or other officer with similar duties) stating (a) that, to their Knowledge after due inquiry, there does not exist any Default or Event of Default under the Loan Documents (or if any exists, specifying the same in detail), and (b) the Borrowers and Guarantor have complied with the applicable reporting requirements of this Section 5.1. (ix) FISCAL YEAR. Each Borrower represents that its fiscal year and that of the Guarantor ends on December 31, and agrees that no change shall be made to each such fiscal year, without Lender's prior written consent. (B) ACCOUNTANTS' REPORTS. Promptly upon receipt thereof, each Borrower will deliver copies of all material reports submitted by independent public accountants in connection with each annual, interim or special audit of the Financial Statements or other business operations of such Borrower made by such accountants, including the comment letter submitted by such accountants to management in connection with the annual audit. (C) TAX RETURNS. Within thirty (30) days after filing the same, each Borrower shall deliver to Lender a copy of its Federal income tax returns (or the return of the applicable Person into which such Borrower's Federal income tax return is consolidated) certified on its behalf by its chief financial officer (or similar position) to be true and correct. (D) ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET, CAPEX/FF&E BUDGETS. Prior to February 15 of each calendar year, each Borrower shall deliver to Lender for its review for its Property a 50 proposed Operating Budget and CapEx/FF&E Budget (in each case presented on a monthly and annual basis) for such calendar year. Each Operating Budget and CapEx/FF&E Budget shall be subject to Lender's approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Provided that no Cash Trap Event or Event of Default exists, the Borrowers may make changes to the Operating Budget and the CapEx/FF&E Budget from time to time as deemed reasonably necessary by the Borrower, provided no such modification (together with all prior modifications taken as a whole) shall alter any single line item (or the applicable Budget as a whole) by more than ten percent (10%) without Lender's prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing during a Cash Trap Event, increases to the Operating Budget for any Property (not to exceed ten percent (10%) of the Operating Budget for such Property as a whole) will be permitted without Lender's consent for actual verifiable increases in utilities, water and sewer assessments and charges and real property taxes for the applicable Property over the amounts therefor set forth in the Operating Budget for such Property for the prior period. Notice of any modifications to the Operating Budget and the CapEx/FF&E Budget shall be delivered to Lender at the time of delivery of the next financial reporting required pursuant to Section 5.1(A)(v). Lender acknowledges that it has approved the annual Operating Budget and the CapEx/FF&E Budget for the 2004 calendar year. The proposed Operating Budget shall identify and set forth each Borrower's reasonable estimate, after due consideration, of all revenue, costs, and expenses, and shall specify Operating Revenues and Operating Expenses on a line-item basis consistent with the form of Operating Budget delivered to Lender prior to Closing. If any of said budgets or plans requiring Lender's approval is not in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, Lender may disapprove the same and specify the reasons therefor in writing, and the Borrowers shall promptly amend and resubmit for approval revised budgets or plans, as applicable, making such changes as are necessary to comply with the reasonable requirements of Lender. Until any such budget or plan for any year requiring Lender's approval has been approved or deemed approved, the applicable budget or plan for the previous year shall remain in effect until the new budget or plan is approved or deemed approved. Lender's consent to any budget, plan or amendments thereto shall be deemed given, if the first correspondence from the Borrowers to Lender requesting such approval is in an envelope marked "PRIORITY" and contains a bold-faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page thereof stating that "IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO OR TO EXPRESSLY DENY THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL MAY BE DEEMED GIVEN", and is accompanied by the information and documents required above and any other information reasonably requested by Lender in writing prior to the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period in order to adequately review the same has been delivered and, if Lender fails to respond or to expressly deny such request for approval in writing within the fifteen (15) day period, a second notice is delivered to Lender from the Borrowers in an envelope marked "PRIORITY" requesting approval containing a bold-faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page thereof stating that "IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO OR EXPRESSLY DENY THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN" and Lender fails to respond or to expressly deny each request for approval within the ten (10) day period. 51 (E) MATERIAL NOTICES. (i) The Borrowers shall promptly deliver, or cause to be delivered, copies of all notices given or received with respect to a default under any term or condition related to any Permitted Indebtedness of any Borrower, and shall notify Lender within five (5) Business Days of any potential or actual event of default with respect to any such Permitted Indebtedness. (ii) The Borrowers shall promptly deliver to Lender copies of any and all material notices (including without limitation any notice alleging any default or breach which is reasonably expected to result in a termination) received with respect to any Material Agreement or any Lease, including, without limitation, any inspection report and any progress reports related to any Property Improvement Plan received from a Franchisor related to such Borrower's Property. (F) EVENTS OF DEFAULT, ETC. Promptly upon any of the Borrowers obtaining knowledge of any of the following events or conditions, such Borrower shall deliver a certificate executed on its behalf by its chief financial officer or similar officer specifying the nature and period of existence of such condition or event and what action such Borrower or any Affiliate thereof has taken, is taking and proposes to take with respect thereto: (i) any condition or event that constitutes an Event of Default; (ii) any Material Adverse Effect; or (iii) any actual or alleged breach or default or assertion of (or written threat to assert) remedies under any Management Agreement, Franchise Agreement or Ground Lease. (G) LITIGATION. Promptly upon any of the Borrowers obtaining knowledge of (1) the institution of any action, suit, proceeding, governmental investigation or arbitration against the Borrowers or any of the Properties not previously disclosed in writing by the Borrowers to Lender which would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or is not covered by insurance or (2) any material development in any action, suit, proceeding, governmental investigation or arbitration at any time pending against or affecting the Borrowers or the Properties which, in each case, if adversely determined would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrowers will give notice thereof to Lender and, upon request from Lender, provide such other information as may be reasonably available to them to enable Lender and its counsel to evaluate such matter. (H) INSURANCE. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the end of each insurance policy period of the Borrowers, the Borrowers will deliver certificates, reports, and/or other information (all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender), (i) outlining all material insurance coverage maintained as of the date thereof by the Borrowers and all material insurance coverage planned to be maintained by the Borrowers in the subsequent insurance policy period and (ii) evidencing payment in full of the premiums for such insurance policies. (I) OTHER INFORMATION. With reasonable promptness, Borrowers will deliver such other information and data with respect to such Person and its Affiliates or the Properties as from time to time may be reasonably requested by Lender. SECTION 5.2 EXISTENCE; QUALIFICATION. The Borrowers will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect their existence as a limited partnership, limited liability company, or 52 corporation, as the case may be, and all rights and franchises material to its business, including their qualification to do business in each state where it is required by law to so qualify. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Borrower and, to the extent required by applicable law, General Partner and Member, shall at all times be qualified to do business in each of the states where the Properties are located. SECTION 5.3 PAYMENT OF IMPOSITIONS AND CLAIMS. (A) Except for those matters being contested pursuant to clause (B) below, the Borrowers will pay (i) all Impositions; (ii) all claims (including claims for labor, services, materials and supplies) for sums that have become due and payable and that by law have or may become a Lien upon any of its properties or assets (hereinafter referred to as the "CLAIMS"); and (iii) all federal, state and local income taxes, sales taxes, excise taxes and all other taxes and assessments of the Borrowers on their business, income or assets; in each instance before any penalty or fine is incurred with respect thereto. (B) The Borrowers shall not be required to pay, discharge or remove any Imposition or Claim relating to a Property so long as the Borrowers contest in good faith such Imposition, Claim or the validity, applicability or amount thereof by an appropriate legal proceeding which operates to prevent the collection of such amounts and the sale of the applicable Property or any portion thereof, and so long as: (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) prior to the date on which such Imposition or Claim would otherwise have become delinquent, the Borrowers shall have given Lender prior written notice of their intent to contest said Imposition or Claim; (iii) prior to the date on which such Imposition or Claim would otherwise have become delinquent, the Borrowers shall have deposited with Lender (or with a court of competent jurisdiction or other appropriate body reasonably approved by Lender) such additional amounts as are necessary to keep on deposit at all times, an amount by way of cash, Dollar Equivalents, or a Letter of Credit, equal to at least one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) (or such higher amount as may be required by applicable law) of the total of (x) the balance of such Imposition or Claim then remaining unpaid, and (y) all interest, penalties, costs and charges accrued or accumulated thereon; (iv) no risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of any interest in the applicable Property or any part thereof arises, in Lender's reasonable judgment, during the pendency of such contest; (v) such contest does not, in Lender's reasonable determination, have a Material Adverse Effect; and (vi) such contest is based on bona fide, material, and reasonable claims or defenses. Any such contest shall be prosecuted with due diligence, and the Borrowers shall promptly pay the amount of such Imposition or Claim as finally determined, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith. Lender shall have full power and authority, but no obligation, to apply any amount deposited with Lender under this subsection to the payment of any unpaid Imposition or Claim to prevent the sale or forfeiture of the applicable Property for non-payment thereof, if Lender reasonably believes that such sale or forfeiture is threatened. Any surplus retained by Lender after payment of the Imposition or Claim for which a deposit was made shall be promptly repaid to the Borrowers unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case said surplus may be retained by Lender to be applied to the Obligations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the contrary, the Borrowers shall pay any Imposition or Claim which they might otherwise be entitled to contest if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, or if, in the reasonable determination of Lender, the applicable Property is in danger of being forfeited or foreclosed. If the Borrowers refuse to pay 53 any such Imposition or Claim, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment and the Borrowers shall reimburse Lender on demand for all such advances. SECTION 5.4 MAINTENANCE OF INSURANCE. The Borrowers will continuously maintain the following described policies of insurance on each of the respective Properties without cost to Lender (the "INSURANCE POLICIES"): (i) Property insurance against loss and damage by all risks of physical loss or damage, including fire, sprinkler leakage, windstorm, hurricane, terrorism, and other risks covered by the so-called extended coverage endorsement covering the Improvements and personal property in amounts not less than the full insurable replacement value of all Improvements (less building foundations and footings) and personal property from time to time on the Properties and without sublimits, and bearing a replacement cost agreed-amount endorsement; (ii) Commercial general liability insurance, including death, bodily injury, innkeeper legal liability and broad form property damage coverage with a combined single limit in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) in the aggregate for any policy year; (iii) If any of the Properties are in an area prone to geological phenomena, including, but not limited to, sinkholes, mine subsidence or earthquakes, insurance covering such risks in an amount equal to 100% of the full replacement cost of all improvements (without any deductions for depreciation) and with a maximum permissible deductible equal to the lesser of $25,000 or 10% of the face value of the policy; (iv) For each Property located in whole or in part in a federally designated "special flood hazard area", flood insurance in the maximum available amount; (v) An umbrella excess liability policy with a limit of not less than Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) over primary insurance, which policy shall include coverage for so-called assumed and contractual liability coverage and automobile liability coverage, and coverage for safeguarding of personalty and shall also include such additional coverages and insured risks which are acceptable to Lender; (vi) Business interruption and/or rent loss insurance with an aggregate limit equal to at least the gross income from the Properties for an indemnity period commencing on the date of such casualty and ending at least six (6) months after completion of the Restoration (such amount being adjusted annually); (vii) Crime protection insurance covering all employees with access to funds and located in Guarantor's corporate offices with a limit of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) and with the same coverages and deductibles as currently in place at the Properties; (viii) Steam boiler, machinery and pressurized vessel insurance insuring against breakdown or explosion of such equipment on a replacement cost value basis, which shall not contain any exclusions for testing procedures; 54 (ix) Worker's Compensation Insurance in statutory amounts, if any, at all times; (x) Insurance against loss or damage from (A) leakage of sprinkler systems and (B) explosion of steam boilers, air conditioning equipment, high pressure piping, machinery and equipment, pressure vessels or similar apparatus now or hereafter installed in the Improvements (without exclusion for explosions), in an amount at least equal to the Aggregate Allocated Loan Amount; (xi) During any period of construction, repair or restoration, builder's "all risk" insurance in an amount equal to not less than the full insurable value of the Properties (excluding building foundations and footings) against such risks (including, without limitation, fire and extended coverage and collapse of the Improvements to agreed limits) as Lender may reasonably request; (xii) If the Properties are or become a "non-conforming use" under applicable zoning and building ordinances, or other requirements of the applicable Governmental Authority, law or ordinance coverage to compensate for the cost of demolition and the increased cost of construction, if available; (xiii) If the Borrowers, Manager or any of their respective Affiliates holds a liquor license for the Properties, liquor liability insurance (including "dram shop" liability) in an amount not less than $1,000,000 for each common cause and $3,000,000 in the aggregate; provided that if such liquor license is held by any tenant under a Lease, the Borrowers shall cause such tenant to cause liquor liability insurance in an amount not less than the limits set forth above to be carried in such tenant's name, and shall include the Borrowers and Lender as additional insureds thereunder; (xiv) If reasonably required by Lender as a result of the release, disposal or existence of any Hazardous Materials on or about any Property after the date hereof (or as to which Lender obtains knowledge after the date hereof) or if such insurance is then customarily required by institutional lenders for securitized loans, environmental insurance, including mold coverage, in form and with coverages (including business interruption coverage) reasonably satisfactory to Lender; provided, however, without limiting or affecting Lender's right to require such environmental insurance with respect to any other Properties after the date hereof, Lender acknowledges that, as of the date hereof, environmental insurance shall only be required with respect to the Property known as the Holiday Inn, located at 363 Roberts Street, East Hartford, Connecticut; (xv) Fiduciary liability insurance and directors and officers liability insurance ("D&O INSURANCE") with coverages at levels in effect as of the Closing Date; (xvi) Insurance against acts of terrorism, or insurance policies without an exclusion for damages resulting from acts of terrorism on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policies required under subsection (i), (ii), (v) and (vi) above; (xvii) Such other insurance as may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender and which is then customarily required by institutional lenders for securitized loans 55 secured by similar properties similarly situated, against other insurable hazards, including, but not limited to, malicious mischief, vandalism, windstorm and or earthquake, due regard to be given to the size and type of the Properties, Improvements, fixtures and equipment and their location, construction and use. Additionally, the Borrowers shall carry such insurance coverage as Lender may from time to time require if the failure to carry such insurance would result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of any class of securities issued in connection with a Securitization. All Insurance Policies shall be in content (including, without limitation, endorsements or exclusions, if any), form, and amounts, and issued by companies, satisfactory to Lender from time to time and shall name Lender and its successors and assignees as their interests may appear as (x) an "additional insured" for each of the liability policies under this Section 5.4 hereof, and (y) a "mortgagee" for each of the property and casualty policies under this Section hereof, and shall (except for Worker's Compensation Insurance) contain a waiver of subrogation clause reasonably acceptable to Lender. Other than with respect to D&O Insurance, an insurance company shall not be satisfactory unless such insurance company (a) is licensed or authorized to issue insurance in the State where the applicable Property is located and (b) has a claims paying ability rating by the Rating Agencies of AA- (or its equivalent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a carrier which does not meet the foregoing ratings requirement shall nevertheless be deemed acceptable hereunder provided that such carrier is reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Borrowers shall obtain and deliver to Lender a Rating Confirmation with respect to such carrier from each of the Rating Agencies, provided, however, that: (a) if any insurance coverage required under this Section 5.4 is maintained by a syndicate of insurers, the preceding ratings requirements shall be deemed satisfied (without any required Rating Confirmation) as long as at least seventy five percent (75%) of the coverage (if there are four or fewer members of the syndicate) or at least sixty percent (60%) of the coverage (if there are five or more members of the syndicate) is maintained with carriers meeting the claims-paying ability ratings requirements by S&P and Moody's (if applicable) set forth above and all carriers in such syndicate have a claims-paying ability rating by S&P of not less than "BBB" and by Moody's of not less than "Baa2" (to the extent rated by Moody's); (b) Lender hereby approves Zurich Insurance Company as the carrier providing the insurance described in clause (ii) above, so long as such carrier maintains a claims paying ability of not less than A- by S&P (and the equivalent from each of the other Rating Agencies to the extent rated thereby) and (c) until the expiration of the current term of the applicable policies, Lender hereby approves Landmark American as the carrier providing the insurance described in clauses (i), (iv) and (vi) above (covering losses over the first $25,000,000 of coverage), so long as thereafter such carrier or any other carrier providing the above coverages maintains a claims paying ability of not less than A by S&P (and the equivalent from each of the other Rating Agencies to the extent rated thereby). All Insurance Policies under Sections 5.4 (i), (iv), (vi), (vii), (x), (xi) and (xii) hereof shall contain a Non-Contributory Standard mortgagee clause and a mortgagee's Loss Payable Endorsement (Form 438 BFU NS), or their equivalents (such endorsements shall entitle Lender to collect any and all proceeds payable under all such insurance, with the insurance company waiving any claim or defense against Lender for premium payment, deductible, self-insured retention or claims reporting provisions). All Insurance Policies shall provide that the coverage shall not be modified without (30) days' advance written notice to Lender and shall provide that no claims shall be paid thereunder to a Person other than Lender without ten (10) days' advance written notice to Lender. The Borrowers may obtain any insurance required by this Section through blanket 56 policies; provided, however, that such blanket policies shall separately set forth the amount of insurance in force with respect to the Properties (which shall not be reduced by reason of events occurring on property other than the Properties) and shall afford all the protections to Lender as are required under this Section. Except as may be expressly provided above, all policies of insurance required hereunder shall contain no annual aggregate limit of liability, other than with respect to liability insurance. If a blanket policy is issued, a certified copy of said policy shall be furnished, together with a certificate indicating that Lender is an additional insured (and, if applicable, loss payee) under such policy in the designated amount. The Borrowers will deliver duplicate originals of all Insurance Policies, premium prepaid through the current expiration dates of such Insurance Policies, to Lender and, in case of Insurance Policies about to expire, the Borrowers will deliver duplicate originals of replacement policies satisfying the requirements hereof to Lender not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of expiration; provided, however, if such replacement policy is not yet available, the Borrowers shall provide Lender with an insurance certificate executed by the insurer or its authorized agent evidencing that the insurance required hereunder is being maintained under such policy, which certificate shall be acceptable to Lender on an interim basis until the duplicate original of the policy is available. The Borrowers shall furnish Lender receipts for the payment of premiums on such insurance policies or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender in the event that such premiums have not been paid by Lender pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The requirements of this Section 5.4 shall apply to any separate policies of insurance taken out by the Borrowers concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with the Insurance Policies. Losses shall be payable to Lender notwithstanding (1) any act, failure to act or negligence of the Borrowers or their agents or employees, Lender or any other insured party which might, absent such agreement, result in a forfeiture or all or part of such insurance payment, other than the willful misconduct of Lender knowingly in violation of the conditions of such policy, (2) the occupation or use of the Properties or any part thereof for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms of such policy, (3) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken pursuant to this Loan Agreement or (4) any change in title to or ownership of the Properties or any part thereof. The property insurance and the boiler and machinery insurance described in Sections 5.4(i) and (x) hereof shall include "underground hazards" coverage; "time element" coverage by which Lender shall be assured payment of all amounts due under the Note, this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents; "extra expense" (i.e., soft costs), clean-up, transit and ordinary payroll coverage; and "expediting expense" coverage to facilitate rapid repair or restoration of the Properties. The Insurance Policies shall not contain any deductible in excess of $250,000. SECTION 5.5 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPERTIES; CASUALTY. (A) The Borrowers will operate and maintain the Properties as is necessary to maintain hotel standards at least as high as those that currently apply to each Property, subject to ordinary wear and tear, as reasonably determined by the Borrowers, and otherwise in compliance with the standards under the applicable Franchise Agreement and shall maintain or cause to be maintained in good repair, working order and condition all material property used in the business of each Borrower, including the applicable Property, and will make or cause to be made all appropriate repairs, renewals and replacements thereof. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Borrower will operate and maintain its Property substantially in accordance with the applicable Operating Budget and the CapEx/FF&E Budget. All work required or permitted 57 under this Loan Agreement shall be performed in a workmanlike manner and in compliance with all applicable laws. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers may, without Lender's consent, perform alterations to the Properties which do not constitute a Material Alteration. The Borrowers shall not perform any Material Alteration without Lender's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, withhold consent to any Material Alteration which is likely to result in a decrease of Net Operating Income (taking into consideration all Material Alterations being undertaken at the Properties at such time) by 5% or more below that which was in effect prior to the commencement of the first such Material Alteration being undertaken at the time of determination for a period of sixty (60) days or longer; provided, further, however, the Borrowers may perform a Material Alteration without Lender's consent if (i) the delay caused by obtaining Lender's prior consent may result in injury or death at, or further destruction or deterioration of, the applicable Property, (ii) such Material Alteration is necessary to prevent the likelihood of injury or death at, or further destruction or deterioration of, the applicable Property, and (iii) the Borrowers deliver notice to Lender within two (2) Business Days of commencement of such Material Alteration together with such supporting documentation as Lender may require with respect to such Material Alteration. Lender may, as a condition to giving its consent to a Material Alteration, require that the Borrowers deliver to Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the Borrowers have cash available for payment of the cost of such Material Alteration or, if the Borrowers fail to deliver such evidence, cash, Dollar Equivalents or a Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to 125% of the cost of such Material Alteration as reasonably estimated by Lender. Cash deposited by the Borrowers with Lender in connection with any Material Alteration pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be held by Lender in a Sub-Account of the Lock Box Account and disbursed to the Borrowers to pay for the cost of such Material Alteration as such work progresses subject to satisfaction of the conditions for disbursement of amounts from the Capital Improvement Reserve under Section 6.5 (including the requirements set forth under Section 6.7). Upon completion of the Material Alteration, the Borrowers shall provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (i) the Material Alteration was constructed in accordance with all material applicable laws and substantially in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Lender (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) all contractors, subcontractors, materialmen and professionals who provided work, materials or services in connection with the Material Alteration have been paid in full and have delivered unconditional releases of lien and (iii) all material licenses necessary for the use, operation and occupancy of the Material Alteration (other than those which depend on the performance of tenant improvement work) have been issued. The Borrowers shall reimburse Lender upon demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees of any architect, engineer or other professional engaged by Lender) incurred by Lender in reviewing plans and specifications or in making any determinations necessary to implement the provisions of this Section 5.5(A). (B) In the event of casualty or loss at any of the Properties, the Borrowers shall give immediate 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 the Property as nearly as possible to the Pre-Existing Condition (a "RESTORATION"). The Borrowers hereby authorize and empower Lender as attorney-in-fact for 58 the Borrowers (jointly with the Borrowers unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), or any of them, to make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise any claim under insurance policies, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from such insurance policies, to collect and receive insurance proceeds, and to deduct therefrom Lender's expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds; provided however, that nothing contained in this Section shall require Lender to incur any expense or take any action hereunder. The Borrowers further authorize Lender, at Lender's option, (i) to hold the balance of such proceeds to be used to reimburse the Borrowers for the cost of Restoration of any of the Properties or (ii) subject to Subsection 5.5(C), to apply such proceeds to payment of the Obligations whether or not then due, in any order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a casualty where the loss does not exceed the Restoration Threshold, the Borrowers may settle and adjust such claim; provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (b) such adjustment is carried out in a commercially reasonable and timely manner. (C) Lender shall not exercise Lender's option to apply insurance proceeds to payment of the Obligations if all of the following conditions are met: (i) no Event of Default then exists; (ii) Lender reasonably determines that there will be sufficient funds to complete the Restoration of the Property to at least substantially the Pre-Existing Condition and to timely make all payments due under the Loan Documents during the Restoration of the affected Property; (iii) Lender reasonably determines that the Net Operating Income of the Properties (including rental income or business interruption insurance) will be sufficient to pay principal and interest on the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan and Operating Revenues of the Properties, after the Restoration thereof to the Pre-Existing Condition, will be sufficient to meet all Operating Expenses, payments for Reserves and payments of principal and interest under the Note and the Mezzanine Loan; (iv) Lender determines that the Restoration of the affected Property to the Pre-Existing Condition will be completed not later than five (5) months prior to the expiration of any business interruption insurance, but in no event later than six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date; (v) less than fifty percent (50%) of the total floor area of the Improvements has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such fire or other casualty; and (vi) such Property can be restored and repaired substantially to the condition it was in immediately prior to such casualty and in compliance with all applicable zoning, building and other laws and codes (the "PRE-EXISTING CONDITION"). If Lender elects to apply insurance proceeds to payment of the Obligations, such application shall be made on the Payment Date immediately following such election in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement. (D) If Lender elects or is obligated to make the insurance proceeds available for the Restoration of any Property and Lender is holding such proceeds, the Borrowers agree that, if at any time during the Restoration, the cost of completing such Restoration, as reasonably determined by Lender, exceeds the undisbursed insurance proceeds, the Borrowers shall, within ten (10) Business Days following the written demand by Lender, deposit the amount of such excess with Lender, and Lender shall first disburse such deposit to pay for the costs of such Restoration on the same terms and conditions as the insurance proceeds are disbursed. If the Borrowers deposit such excess with Lender and if, after completion of the Restoration, any funds remain from the combination of insurance proceeds and the funds so deposited with Lender by the Borrowers, and if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Lender shall promptly disburse to the Borrowers such remaining funds. 59 (E) Lender may, at Lender's option, condition disbursement of any insurance proceeds on Lender's approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) of plans and specifications of an independent architect licensed in the state where the Property is located and reasonably satisfactory to Lender (the "ARCHITECT"), any and all contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration and the contracts under which they have been engaged, contractor's cost estimates, architect's certificates, waivers of liens, sworn statements of mechanics and materialmen and such other evidence of costs, percentage completion of construction, application of payments, and satisfaction of liens as Lender may reasonably require. Lender shall not be obligated to disburse insurance proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month. If insurance proceeds are applied to the payment of the Obligations and provided no Event of Default exists, any such application of proceeds to principal shall be without any Prepayment Consideration and 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. If Lender elects to apply all of such insurance proceeds toward the repayment of the Obligations, the Borrowers shall (subject to compliance with clauses (A), (B), (D) and (F) of Section 11.4) be entitled to obtain from Lender a Property Release (without representation or warranty) of the applicable Property from the Lien of the Mortgage relating to such Property (in which event the Borrowers shall not be obligated to restore the applicable Property pursuant to Section 5.5(B) above) provided that the Borrowers pay to Lender the amount, if any, by which the Release Price for such Property exceeds the insurance proceeds received by Lender and applied to repayment of the Obligations. If any proceeds are applied to reduce the Obligations under this Section 5.5, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Prepayment Consideration shall be due and payable in connection with such application. Any amount of insurance proceeds remaining in Lender's possession after full and final payment and discharge of all Obligations shall be refunded to, or as directed by, the Borrowers or otherwise paid in accordance with applicable law. If the Property is sold at foreclosure or if Lender acquires title to the Property, Lender shall have all of the right, title and interest of the applicable Borrower in and to any insurance policies and unearned premiums thereon and in and to the proceeds resulting from any damage to such Property prior to such sale or acquisition. (F) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of insurance proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Architect, less a retainage equal to the lesser of (x) the actual retainage required pursuant to the permitted contract, or (y) ten percent (10%) of such costs incurred until the Restoration has been completed. The retainage shall in no event be less than the amount actually held back by the Borrowers from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration.

Upon Lender's request, each Borrower shall submit satisfactory evidence of payment or performance of any of its obligations under each Ground Lease. Lender may pay and expend such sums of money as Lender in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable for any such purpose, and the Borrowers shall pay to Lender within five (5) Business Days of the written demand of Lender all such sums so paid or expended by Lender, together with interest thereon from the date of expenditure at the Default Rate. (E) LEGAL ACTION. The Borrowers shall not commence any action or proceeding against any Ground Lessor or affecting or potentially affecting any Ground Lease or the Borrowers' or Lender's interest therein, the effect of which could cause an event of default or termination of any such Ground Lease, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Borrowers shall notify Lender immediately if any action or proceeding shall be commenced between any Ground Lessor and either Borrower, or affecting or potentially affecting any Ground Lease or either Borrower's or Lender's interest therein (including, without limitation, any case commenced by or against any Ground Lessor under the Bankruptcy Code). Lender shall have the option, 69 exercisable upon notice from Lender to the Borrowers, to participate in any such action or proceeding with counsel of Lender's choice. The Borrowers shall cooperate with Lender, comply with the reasonable instructions of Lender, execute any and all powers, authorizations, consents or other documents reasonably required by Lender in connection therewith, and shall not settle any such action or proceeding without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. (F) ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Ground Lease, from time to time, at Lender's request, the Borrowers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Lender within the time period required under the applicable Ground Lease, an estoppel certificate from each Ground Lessor setting forth (A) (i) the identities of the original lessor and lessee under the applicable Ground Lease and each of their respective successors, (ii) that the Ground Lease has not been modified or, if it has been modified, the date of each modification (together with copies of each such modification), (iii) the rent payable under the Ground Lease, (iv) the dates to which all rent and other charges have been paid, (v) whether there are any alleged Ground Lease Defaults and, if so, setting forth the nature thereof in reasonable detail, and (vi) such other matters as Lender may reasonably request or (B) the matters required to be certified by the Ground Lessor under the applicable Ground Lease. The Borrowers shall not be required to request an estoppel from any Ground Lessor more than two (2) times in any calendar year. (G) BANKRUPTCY. (i) If any Ground Lessor shall reject any Ground Lease under or pursuant to Section 365 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Borrowers shall not elect to treat the Ground Lease as terminated but shall elect to remain in possession of the applicable Ground Leased Property and the leasehold estate under such Ground Lease. The lien of the Mortgage covering such Property does and shall encumber and attach to all of the Borrowers' rights and remedies at any time arising under or pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, including without limitation, all of such Borrower's rights to remain in possession of such Property and the leasehold estate. (ii) The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that in any case commenced by or against the Borrowers under the Bankruptcy Code, Lender by reason of the liens and rights granted under the Mortgage covering such Property and the Loan Documents shall have a substantial and material interest in the treatment and preservation of such Borrower's rights and obligations under such Ground Lease, and that such Borrower shall, in any such bankruptcy case, provide to Lender immediate and continuous reasonably adequate protection of such interests. Each Borrower and Lender agree that such adequate protection shall include but shall not necessarily be limited to the following: (a) Lender shall be deemed a party to the Ground Lease (but shall not have any obligations thereunder) for purposes of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, and shall, provided that, prior to an Event of Default, no such action by Lender would adversely and materially affect the Borrowers' ability to prosecute, or defend, any such claims asserted therein, have standing to appear and act as a party in interest in relation to any matter arising out of or related to the Ground Lease or such Property. 70 (b) The Borrowers shall serve Lender with copies of all notices, pleadings and other documents relating to or affecting the Ground Lease or the applicable Property. Any notice, pleading or document served by the Borrowers on any other party in the bankruptcy case shall be contemporaneously served by such Borrower on Lender, and any notice, pleading or document served upon or received by such Borrower from any other party in the bankruptcy case shall be served by such Borrower on Lender promptly upon receipt by such Borrower. (c) Upon written request of Lender, the Borrowers shall assume the Ground Lease, and shall take such steps as are necessary to preserve such Borrower's right to assume the Ground Lease, including without limitation using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain extensions of time to assume or reject the Ground Lease under Subsection 365(d) of the Bankruptcy Code to the extent it is applicable. (H) ASSUMPTION AND ASSIGNMENT. If the Borrowers or the applicable Ground Lessor seeks to reject any Ground Lease or have the Ground Lease deemed rejected, then prior to the hearing on such rejection Lender shall, subject to applicable law, be given no less than twenty (20) days' notice and opportunity to elect in lieu of rejection to have the Ground Lease assumed and assigned to a nominee of Lender. If Lender shall so elect to assume and assign the Ground Lease, then the Borrowers shall, subject to applicable law, continue any request to reject the Ground Lease until after the motion to assume and assign has been heard. If Lender shall not elect to assume and assign the Ground Lease, then Lender may, subject to applicable law, obtain in connection with the rejection of the Ground Lease a determination that the applicable Ground Lessor, at Lender's option, shall (1) agree to terminate the Ground Lease and enter into a new lease with Lender on the same terms and conditions as the Ground Lease, for the remaining term of the Ground Lease, or (2) treat the Ground Lease as breached and provide Lender with the rights to cure defaults under the Ground Lease and to assume the rights and benefits of the Ground Lease. Each Borrower shall join with and support any request by Lender to grant and approve the foregoing as necessary for adequate protection of Lender's interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender may seek additional terms and conditions, including such economic and monetary protections as it deems reasonably appropriate to adequately protect its interests, and any request for such additional terms or conditions shall not delay or limit Lender's right to receive the specific elements of adequate protection set forth herein. Each Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its attorney in fact to act on behalf of Lender in connection with all matters relating to or arising out of the assumption or rejection of any Ground Lease, in which the other party to the lease is a debtor in a case under the Bankruptcy Code. This grant of power of attorney is present, unconditional, irrevocable, durable and coupled with an interest. SECTION 5.26 CONDOMINIUM PROPERTY. (A) NO MODIFICATION.

The Reserves constitute Account Collateral and are subject to the security interest in favor of Lender created herein and all provisions of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents pertaining to Account Collateral. (B) In addition to the rights and remedies provided in Article VII and elsewhere herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender shall have all rights and remedies pertaining to the Reserves as are provided for in any of the Loan Documents or under any applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, upon and at all times after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, may use the Reserves (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to any combination of the following: (i) payment of any of the Obligations including 74 the Prepayment Consideration (if any) applicable upon such payment in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion; provided, however, that such application of funds shall not cure or be deemed to cure any Default; (ii) reimbursement of Lender for any actual losses or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees) suffered or incurred as a result of such Event of Default; (iii) payment for the work or obligation for which such Reserves were reserved or were required to be reserved; and (iv) application of the Reserves in connection with the exercise of any and all rights and remedies available to Lender at law or in equity or under this Loan Agreement or pursuant to any of the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 6.2 FUNDS DEPOSITED WITH LENDER. (A) INTEREST, OFFSETS. Except only as expressly provided otherwise herein, all funds of the Borrowers which are deposited with Lock Box Account Bank as Reserves hereunder shall be held by Lock Box Account Bank in one or more Permitted Investments, such Permitted Investments, prior to an Event of Default, to be as directed by Borrower. All interest which accrues on the Reserves shall be taxable to the Borrowers and shall be added to and disbursed in the same manner and under the same conditions as the principal sum on which said interest accrued. Additional provisions pertaining to investments are set forth in Article VII. After repayment of all of the Obligations, all funds held as Reserves will be promptly returned to, or as directed by, the Borrowers. (B) FUNDING AT CLOSING. The Borrowers shall deposit with Lender the amounts necessary to fund each of the Reserves as set forth below. Deposits into the Reserves at Closing may occur by deduction from the amount of the Loan that otherwise would be disbursed to the Borrowers, followed by deposit of the same into the applicable Sub-Account or Account of the Lock Box Account in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding such deductions, the Loan shall be deemed for all purposes to be fully disbursed at Closing. SECTION 6.3 IMPOSITIONS AND INSURANCE RESERVE. On the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall deposit with Lock Box Account Bank $1,318,789.30 and, pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement, the Borrowers shall deposit monthly, on each Payment Date commencing on the Payment date in August 2004, 1/12th of the annual charges (as reasonably estimated by Lender) for all Impositions and all Insurance Premiums (other than for D&O Insurance) payable with respect to the Properties hereunder (said funds, together with any interest thereon and additions thereto, the "IMPOSITIONS AND INSURANCE RESERVE"). The initial amount of the monthly deposit to be made to the Impositions and Insurance Reserve from and after the date hereof is $265,344.65. The Borrowers shall also deposit with Lock Box Account Bank within ten (10) Business Days of the written demand by Lender, to be added to and included within such reserve, a sum of money which Lender reasonably estimates, together with such monthly deposits, will be sufficient to make the payment of each such charge at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date initially due. The Borrowers shall provide Lender with bills and all other documents necessary for the payment of the foregoing charges at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which each payment shall first become subject to penalty or interest if not paid. So 75 long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Borrowers have provided Lender with the foregoing bills and other documents in a timely manner, and (iii) sufficient funds are held by Lender for the payment of the Impositions and Insurance Premiums relating to each of the Properties, Lender shall pay said items or disburse to the Borrowers from such Reserve an amount sufficient to pay said items. Interest shall accrue in favor of the Borrowers on funds in the Impositions and Insurance Reserve and be added to the balance thereof and disbursed in accordance with the terms hereof. SECTION 6.4 FF&E RESERVE. On or prior to the Closing Date, Lender or Servicer on behalf of Lender shall establish and maintain with Lock Box Bank an account for the purpose of creating a reserve for replacements of FF&E at or in, or used in connection with, the Properties (the "REPLACEMENTS") in accordance with the applicable CapEx/FF&E Budget approved by Lender (said funds, together with any interest thereon and additions thereto, the "FF&E RESERVE"). The FF&E Reserve shall be held in an Eligible Account entitled "FF&E Reserve Account for the benefit of Merrill Lynch Mortgage Lending, Inc., as secured party" which account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender, subject to the terms of the Cash Management Agreement. Pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement, the Borrowers shall deposit monthly, on each Payment Date commencing with the Payment Date in August 2004, an amount equal to 4.0% of the Operating Revenues generated from the Properties for the prior calendar month (such amount, the "MONTHLY FF&E PAYMENT"). Funds held in the FF&E Reserve may be withdrawn by the Borrowers, subject in all instances to the terms of the Cash Management Agreement, only in accordance with the approved CapEx/FF&E Budget, and no funds held in the FF&E Reserve shall be used in connection with the Required Capital Improvements. Upon and at all times after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no draws will be permitted from the FF&E Reserve other than Replacements subject, in each instance, to Manager's compliance with the FF&E reporting requirements set forth in Section 5.1(A)(v)(d). SECTION 6.5 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT RESERVE; REQUIRED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS. At Closing, the Borrowers shall deposit with Lock Box Account Bank $4,797,522.00 (said funds, together with any interest thereon, the "Capital IMPROVEMENT RESERVE"), which funds shall be made available to the Borrowers solely for payment of certain Capital Improvements required to be made to the Properties and designated as "Required Capital Improvements" on SCHEDULE 6.5 attached hereto (the "REQUIRED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS") and shall not be used by the Borrowers for purposes for which any other Reserve is established or for any other purpose other than completion of the Required Capital Improvements. The Borrowers shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion, subject to Force Majeure, the Required Capital Improvements within the time periods for each Required Capital Improvement set forth on SCHEDULE 6.5.

SECTION 6.6 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS REMEDIATION RESERVE. At Closing, the Borrowers shall deposit with Lock Box Account Bank, an amount equal to $1,237.50 (said funds, together with any interest thereon and additions thereto, the "HAZARDOUS MATERIALS REMEDIATION RESERVE") for certain work related to Hazardous Materials on the Properties as 76 indicated in the Environmental Reports for the Properties prepared and delivered prior to the Closing and as such work is more particularly described on SCHEDULE 6.6 (the "ENVIRONMENTAL WORK"). Prior to the earlier of (x) the date required by any applicable Governmental Authority or (y) nine (9) months after the Closing, the Borrowers shall, subject to Force Majeure, complete such Environmental Work and shall provide to Lender such closure reports, no-further-action letters, or other evidence of compliance with law as Lender may reasonably require. The funds contained in the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve shall be utilized by the Borrowers solely for performance of the Environmental Work in accordance with the Environmental Reports, and shall not be used by the Borrowers for purposes for which any other Reserve is established. Subject to the Borrowers' satisfaction of the applicable conditions of Section 6.7, the Borrowers shall be entitled to draw upon the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve to pay for costs that have been incurred by the Borrowers for such Environmental Work, provided that the Borrowers deliver to Lender such evidence as may be reasonably satisfactory to Lender that, after payment of such draw, the funds remaining in the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve shall be sufficient to pay for the remainder of such Environmental Work. Subject to the foregoing conditions, but also subject to the last paragraph of Section 11.4, the Borrowers shall be entitled to draw any remaining balance in the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve when all such Environmental Work is complete, and is paid for, in accordance with the terms hereof. SECTION 6.7 CONDITIONS TO DISBURSEMENTS FROM HAZARDOUS MATERIALS REMEDIATION RESERVE AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT RESERVE; PERFORMANCE OF WORK. (A) DISBURSEMENTS FROM THE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS REMEDIATION RESERVE AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT RESERVE. Upon the Borrowers' written request for disbursement, Lender shall authorize Lock Box Account Bank to disburse funds to or for the account of the Borrowers (x) from the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve, to pay to, or pay on behalf of, the Borrowers for the amount of the Borrowers' actual bona fide out-of-pocket expenditures or costs incurred for Environmental Work (the "APPROVED ENVIRONMENTAL EXPENDITURES", and (y) from the Capital Improvement Reserve, to pay to, or pay on behalf of, the Borrowers for the amount of the Borrowers' actual bona fide out-of-pocket expenditures or costs incurred for Required Capital Improvements ("APPROVED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT EXPENDITURES"; and together with the Approved Environmental Expenditures, collectively, "APPROVED EXPENDITURES"; and the related Environmental Work or Required Capital Improvements to which any such request for disbursement relates shall be referred to as the "WORK"), upon satisfaction of each of the conditions listed on SCHEDULE 6.7 and each of the conditions set forth below in Lender's reasonable discretion: (i) Except as provided in this Section 6.7, each request for disbursement from the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve or the Capital Improvement Reserve (such Reserves, the "WORK RESERVES") shall be made for completion of the Approved Expenditures for which disbursement is requested. (ii) A request for disbursement from the Work Reserves may be made after completion of a portion of the Work under such contract, or for payment of deposits required in connection with the Work under such Contract, provided (1) all other conditions in this Loan Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (2) funds remaining in the Hazardous Materials 77 Remediation Reserve are, in Lender's reasonable judgment, sufficient to complete the Environmental Work when required and/or funds remaining in the Capital Improvement Reserve are, in Lender's reasonable judgment, sufficient to complete such item of Required Capital Improvements and any other Required Capital Improvements remaining to be performed, as the case may be, and (3) if reasonably required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments in excess of $100,000 under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor. (iii) To the extent the contract with the relevant contractor or supplier provides for a retainage, each disbursement from a Work Reserve, except for a final disbursement, shall be in the amount of actual costs incurred less the percentage of such costs that the contract with the relevant contractor or supplier specifies to be retained and advanced as part of the final disbursement. No funds will be advanced for materials stored at any Property unless such materials are properly stored and secured at the applicable Property in accordance with the Borrowers' customary procedures and sound construction practices as reasonably determined by Lender. No funds will be advanced for materials stored at any location other than at the Properties unless Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that Lender has a perfected first priority security interest in any such materials. (iv) The amount of all invoices in connection with the Work with respect to which a disbursement is requested and which has been approved by Lender shall be disbursed by Lock Box Account Bank as directed by the Borrowers (in which event, the Borrowers covenant and agree to promptly pay such invoices) or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at Lender's option and in Lender's sole and absolute discretion, directly to the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor indicated on said invoices unless already paid by the Borrowers and Lender has received satisfactory evidence of such payment in which case Lender shall reimburse the Borrowers. All invoices in connection with disbursements from the Capital Improvement Reserve shall be classified as requests for payment for items of Capital Improvement (as opposed to items that, in conformity with GAAP, would be included as Operating Expenses). If the Borrowers request that any amounts be disbursed directly to the Borrowers pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the Borrowers shall be required to deliver evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender of payment of all invoices for which disbursements were previously made to the Borrowers as a condition to such requested disbursement. (v) No more than two (2) disbursements will be made by Lender from the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve or the Capital Improvement Reserve in any calendar month, and, if made in accordance herewith or otherwise approved by Lender, requested disbursements will be made within five (5) Business Days after the request therefor. Lender shall not be required to make any disbursement from a Work Reserve with respect to the Property unless such requested disbursement is in an amount equal to or greater than $25,000 (other than the final disbursement). (vi) Lender reserves the right, at its option and as a condition to any disbursement from a Work Reserve, to approve (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) (i) all drawings and plans and specifications, if any, for any Work which require aggregate payments in amounts exceeding the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the 78 Aggregate Allocated Loan Amount with respect to the applicable Property or (y) $250,000, and (ii) all contracts and work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors and other parties providing labor or materials in connection with any Work which require aggregate payments in amounts exceeding the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the Aggregate Allocated Loan Amount with respect to the applicable Property or (y) $250,000. Upon Lender's reasonable request, the Borrowers shall assign (to the extent assignable) any drawings, plans and specifications, contracts or subcontracts to Lender. Drawings, plans and specifications, contracts and work orders approved by Lender shall not be changed in any material respect without Lender's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. (vii) The Borrowers shall have delivered a certificate to Lender from an Architect certifying that the Work has been completed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with all applicable laws for any item in excess of the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the Aggregate Allocated Loan Amount with respect to the applicable Property or (y) $250,000. Lender may retain its own architect or engineer ("LENDER'S CONSULTANT") to review any plans and specifications for any item in excess of the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the Aggregate Allocated Loan Amount with respect to the applicable Property or (y) $250,000, and to periodically inspect any Work at the Borrowers' sole cost and expense. (viii) The Borrowers shall have delivered to Lender a certificate of the Borrowers substantially in the form of Exhibit L attached hereto certifying as to the actual costs which were incurred by the Borrowers to complete such Work, which costs shall not materially exceed the amount budgeted for such Work under the CapEx/FF&E Budget then in effect unless approved by Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (together with supporting documentation reasonably acceptable to Lender). (ix) The Borrowers shall have delivered to Lender all necessary material certificates, authorizations, permits and licenses which are required to permit the construction and completion of the Work, as issued by the appropriate Governmental Authority. The Borrowers, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, hereby assigns to Lender as additional security for the payment of the Obligations and the observance and performance by the Borrowers of the terms, covenants and provisions of the Loan Documents all right, title and interest which the Borrowers may now have or may hereafter acquire in and to such certificates, authorizations, permits and licenses. (x) Lender may require an inspection of the Property prior to making a monthly disbursement from the applicable Work Reserve in order to verify completion of the Work for which disbursement is sought in excess of the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the Aggregate Allocated Loan Amount with respect to the applicable Property or (y) $250,000. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by Lender's Consultant and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified architect or engineer acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the applicable Work Reserve. The Borrowers shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expense of such inspections as reasonably required hereunder, whether such inspections are conducted by Lender, Servicer, Lender's Consultant or by an independent qualified professional. 79 (B) PERFORMANCE OF WORK. (i) The Borrowers shall complete all Work in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement thereof substantially in accordance with the applicable budget approved by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Loan Agreement. The insufficiency of the balance in the applicable Work Reserve shall not relieve the Borrowers from their obligations to perform and complete the related Work as herein provided or to fulfill all other preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents. (ii) If Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Work is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Work has not been completed in a workmanlike manner, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory work and so notify the Borrowers with reasonable detail regarding the basis for Lender's dissatisfaction and, after the expiration of forty-five (45) days from the giving of such notice by Lender to the Borrowers of such unsatisfactory work without the cure thereof (or, if such unsatisfactory work is susceptible of a cure but cannot reasonably be cured within said forty-five (45) day period and provided that the Borrowers shall have commenced to cure such unsatisfactory work within said forty-five (45) day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, after the expiration of such longer period as is reasonably necessary for the Borrowers in the exercise of due diligence to cure such unsatisfactory work, up to a maximum of an additional sixty (60) days, subject to Force Majeure, without the cure thereof), Lender may proceed under existing contracts or contract with third parties to complete such Work, as the case may be, and apply amounts contained in the applicable Work Reserve toward the labor and materials necessary to complete the same, without providing any additional prior notice to the Borrowers, and exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder. (iii) In order to facilitate Lender's completion or making of any Work pursuant to Section 6.7(B)(ii) above, the Borrowers grant Lender the right to enter onto each Property during normal business hours after the expiration of the notice specified above and perform, subject to the rights of tenants, any and all work and labor necessary to complete the applicable Work and/or employ watchmen to protect the Property from damage. All sums so expended by Lender shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to the Borrowers and secured by the applicable Mortgage. For this purpose, the Borrowers constitute and appoint Lender their true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the applicable Work in the name of the Borrowers pursuant to Section 6.7(B)(ii) above. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrowers empower said attorney-in-fact as follows: (i) to use any funds in the applicable Work Reserve for the purpose of making or completing any Work; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to any Work as shall be reasonably necessary or desirable to complete the same; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against any Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of any Work, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of the Borrowers which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) in its reasonable discretion, to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with any Property or 80 the rehabilitation and repair of such Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which the Borrowers might do in their own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Loan Agreement. (iv) Nothing in this Section shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing any Work; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the amounts on deposit in the applicable Work Reserve to make or complete any Work; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with any Work; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from the Borrowers additional sums to make or complete any Work. (v) The Borrowers shall permit Lender and Lender's agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lender's engineer, architect or inspector) or third parties performing any Work pursuant to this Section 6.7 to enter onto any Property during normal business hours upon reasonable notice (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Work and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating thereto which are or may be kept at any Property, and to complete any Work made pursuant to Section 6.7(B)(ii). The Borrowers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender's representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 6.7(B) or the completion of the Work pursuant to this Section 6.7(B). (vi) All Work and all materials, equipment, fixtures and any other item comprising a part thereof shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic's, materialman's or other liens (except for the Permitted Encumbrances). (vii) All Work shall comply with all applicable legal requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the Properties and applicable insurance requirements, including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations and requirements of insurance underwriters. (C) INDEMNIFICATION. The Borrowers shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations, out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, litigation costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the performance of the Work, except to the extent caused by the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of Lender. The Borrowers shall assign to Lender all rights and claims the Borrowers may have against all Persons supplying labor or materials in connection with the Work; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim or pursue any other action with respect to such rights and claims unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured. SECTION 6.8 CASH TRAP RESERVE. (i) If, at any time prior to the repayment of the Obligations in full, a Cash Trap Event shall occur, then for so long as such Cash Trap Event continues to exist, all Excess Cash Flow (except as otherwise expressly provided below) shall be deposited with Lender (or its Servicer or agent) and held in the Lock Box Account in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement (said funds, together with any interest thereon, the "CASH TRAP RESERVE"). A "CASH TRAP EVENT" shall occur as of any Calculation Date when the 81 Debt Yield is less than the Minimum Debt Yield for the trailing twelve (12) month period ending on such Calculation Date and shall continue to exist until such time as the Minimum Debt Yield test has been satisfied for three (3) consecutive Calculation Dates (on a trailing twelve (12) month basis) following the commencement of the applicable Cash Trap Event. Notwithstanding that the Debt Yield is less than the Minimum Debt Yield as of any Calculation Date, no Cash Trap Event shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of such event if the Borrowers make a principal prepayment of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance (which prepayment amount shall be disbursed on the next Payment Date in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement), within three (3) Business Days after the date of delivery of the financial statements disclosing the existence of such Cash Trap Event (or the date on which such financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1), in an amount equal to the greater of (x) one percent (1%) of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance, or (y) 120% of the amount, as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion, sufficient to cause the Debt Yield to meet or exceed the Minimum Debt Yield if such calculation was recalculated as provided above assuming that such amount was applied to reduce the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance as of the first day of the relevant measuring period. During the continuance of a Cash Trap Event, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any funds on deposit in the Cash Trap Reserve may, at the Borrowers' election, be retained in the Cash Trap Reserve or may be applied to (i) prepayment of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance as provided above, (ii) Capital Expenditures reasonably approved by Lender, or (iii) scheduled payments (not to exceed $525,000 in the aggregate) of principal and interest under the Loan and the Allocable Portion of the Mezzanine Loan (to be applied in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement). Any funds on deposit in the Cash Trap Reserve shall continue to be held as additional Collateral in accordance with this Section 6.8 until the earlier of (a) the date that such funds are applied or disbursed pursuant to the foregoing sentence or (b) the date that the Minimum Debt Yield test has been satisfied for three (3) consecutive months (as determined above), at which time, provided no Event of Default exists, and no Cash Trap Event has commenced, such funds, together with any and all amounts then held in the Minimum Balance Sub-Account (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement), shall be automatically released to the Borrowers without any further certification requirements on the part of the Borrowers. The existence of a Cash Trap Event shall be determined by Lender in its reasonable good faith determination.

Upon and at any time after the occurrence of any other Event of Default, at the option of Lender, which may be exercised without notice or demand to anyone, all or any portion of the Loan and other Obligations shall immediately become due and payable. (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 the Borrowers under this Loan 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 Properties. 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 87 the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.

(C) Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgages in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgages then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event the Borrowers default beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage or any of them to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered. (D) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. The Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, within ten (10) days after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall reasonably request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. The Borrowers hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoint Lender as their true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in their name and stead to make and execute all documents reasonably necessary to effect the aforesaid severance if the Borrowers fail to do so within ten (10) days of Lender's written request, the Borrowers ratifying all that their said attorney shall do by virtue thereof. (E) Any amounts recovered from the Properties or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine. (F) The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Loan Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against the Borrowers pursuant to this Loan 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 88 may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to the Borrowers shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by the Borrowers or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. SECTION 8.3 PERFORMANCE BY LENDER. (A) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if any of the Borrowers shall fail to perform, or cause to be performed, any material covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents (subject to applicable notice and cure periods), Lender may perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of the Borrowers including making protective advances on behalf of any Borrower, or, in its sole discretion, causing the obligations of any of the Borrowers to be satisfied with the proceeds of any Reserve. In such event, the Borrowers shall, at the request of Lender, promptly pay to Lender, or reimburse, as applicable, any of the Reserves, any actual amount reasonably expended or disbursed by Lender in such performance or attempted performance, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate (including reimbursement of any applicable Reserves), from the date of such expenditure or disbursement, 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 applicable Note and shall be secured by all of the Collateral securing the applicable Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that Lender shall not have any liability or responsibility for the performance of any obligation of the Borrowers under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, and it is further expressly agreed that no such performance by Lender shall cure any Event of Default hereunder. (B) Lender may cease or suspend any and all performance required of Lender under the Loan Documents upon and at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Article X, it is acknowledged and agreed that in no event shall Lender be responsible for payment of any Borrower Party's (or its Affiliate's) internal costs and expenses in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction. Such cooperation shall include without limitation, executing and delivering such reasonable amendments to the Loan Documents and the organizational documents of each Borrower as Lender or any Interested Party (as defined below) may request, provided however that, no such amendment shall modify (i) the weighted average interest rate payable under the Note (or notes); (ii) the stated maturity date of the Note, (iii) the amortization of the principal amount of the Note, (iv) any other material economic terms of the Obligations, (v) the non-recourse provisions of the Loan or (vi) any provision, the effect of which would increase the Borrowers' obligations or decrease the Borrowers' rights under the Loan Documents except to a de minimis extent.

The Borrower Parties shall not be required to pay any third party (other than, which respect to the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction only (or if the Loan shall be hereafter split into multiple loans, the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction with respect to each of such loans), the costs and expenses of the Borrowers' counsel) costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any such Secondary Market Transaction unless otherwise expressly payable by the Borrower Parties under this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 94 SECTION 10.3 INFORMATION. The Borrower Parties, at Lender's cost and expense (other than, with respect to the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction only (or if the Loan shall be hereafter split into multiple loans, the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction with respect to each of such loans), the Borrowers' internal costs and expenses and the costs and expenses of the Borrower Parties' counsel), shall provide such access to personnel and such information and documents relating to the Borrower Parties, Manager, the Properties and Collateral and the business and operations of all of the foregoing and such opinions of counsel (including nonconsolidation opinions) as any Rating Agency may request or as Lender or any other Interested Party may reasonably request in connection with any such Secondary Market Transaction including, without limitation, updated financial information, appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews (Phase I's and, if appropriate, Phase II's), mold inspection, property condition reports and other due diligence investigations together with appropriate verification of such updated information and reports through letters of auditors and consultants and, as of the closing date of the Secondary Market Transaction, updated representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents and such additional representations and warranties as any Rating Agency may request or any purchaser, transferee, assignee, trustee, servicer or potential investor (the Rating Agencies and all of the foregoing parties, collectively, "INTERESTED PARTIES") may reasonably request, to the extent such updated representations and warranties are true. On or prior to the date of closing of any Secondary Market Transaction, the Borrowers, at Lender's cost and expense (other than with respect to the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction only (or if the Loan shall be hereafter split into multiple loans, the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction with respect to each of such loans), the Borrowers' internal costs and expenses and the costs and expenses of the Borrowers' counsel), shall, if required by any Rating Agency or reasonably required by Lender, provide revisions or "bringdowns" to any opinions delivered at Closing (including nonconsolidation opinions), or if required by the Rating Agencies, new versions of such opinions, which opinions shall be consistent in substance with the opinions covered by the original opinions, addressed to Lender, any trustee under any Securitization backed in whole or in part by the Loan, any Rating Agency that assigns a rating to any securities in connection therewith and any investor purchasing securities therein. Lender shall be permitted to share all such information with the investment banking firms, Rating Agencies, accounting firms, law firms, other third party advisory firms, potential investors, servicers and other service providers and other parties directly involved in any proposed Secondary Market Transaction. The Borrowers understand that any such information may be incorporated into any offering circular, prospectus, prospectus supplement, private placement memorandum or other offering documents for any Secondary Market Transaction. Lender and the Rating Agencies shall be entitled to rely upon such information. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrowers and Guarantor shall provide in connection with each (i) preliminary and final private placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, prepared in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction (the documents referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the "DISCLOSURE DOCUMENTS"), an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers and Guarantor certifying that the Borrowers and Guarantor have examined such Disclosure Documents specified by Lender and, that the sections of such Disclosure Document describing the Borrowers, Guarantor, the Properties and Manager do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the 95 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading. The Borrowers and Guarantor shall each indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Lender, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("MERRILL LYNCH"), and their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, agents and each Person, if any, who controls Lender, Merrill Lynch or any such Affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and any other placement agent or underwriter with respect to any Securitization or Secondary Market Transaction from and against any losses, claims, damages and liabilities that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Disclosure Document as to the Borrowers, Guarantor, Manager and the Properties or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such information or necessary in order to make the statements in such information not materially misleading; provided, however, the Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify Merrill Lynch for any liabilities arising out of untrue statements or omissions that were identified to Lender in writing or are set forth in any third party report not prepared by the Borrowers or their Affiliates unless such reports are caused to be incorrect or misleading based upon information provided by the Borrowers or their Affiliates. Lender may publicize the existence of the Obligations in connection with Lender's Secondary Market Transaction activities or otherwise. SECTION 10.4 ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS. In any Secondary Market Transaction, Lender may transfer its obligations under this Loan Agreement and under the other Loan Documents (or may transfer the portion thereof corresponding to the transferred portion of the Obligations), and thereafter Lender shall be relieved of any obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents arising after the date of said transfer with respect to the transferred interest. Each transferee investor shall become a "Lender" hereunder. ARTICLE XI RESTRICTIONS ON LIENS, TRANSFERS; ASSUMABILITY; RELEASE OF PROPERTIES SECTION 11.1 RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND ENCUMBRANCE.

The obligations and liabilities of the Borrowers under this Section 14.2 shall survive the term of the Loan and the exercise by Lender of any of its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, including the acquisition of the Properties by foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure. SECTION 14.3 AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. Except as otherwise provided herein, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Loan Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, or consent to any departure therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender and any other party to be charged. Each amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on the Borrowers in any case shall entitle the Borrowers or other Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. SECTION 14.4 RETENTION OF THE BORROWERS' DOCUMENTS. Lender may, in accordance with Lender's customary practices, destroy or otherwise dispose of all documents, schedules, invoices or other papers, delivered by the Borrowers to Lender (other than the Note) unless the Borrowers request in writing that same be returned.

All agreements, representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Loan Agreement, the making of the Loan hereunder and the execution and delivery of the Note. Notwithstanding anything in this Loan Agreement or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of the Borrowers to indemnify or release Lender or Persons related to Lender, or to pay Lender's costs, expenses, or taxes shall survive the payment of the Loan and the termination of this Loan Agreement. SECTION 14.7 FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. No failure or delay on the part of Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under the Note 107 or any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Loan Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. SECTION 14.8 MARSHALING; PAYMENTS SET ASIDE. Lender shall not be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Person makes a payment or payments to Lender, or Lender enforces its remedies or exercises its rights of set off, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, if any, and rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or set off had not occurred. SECTION 14.9 SEVERABILITY. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in any jurisdiction of any provision in or obligation under this Loan Agreement, the Note or other Loan Documents shall not affect or impair the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations under this Loan Agreement, the Note or other Loan Documents or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction. SECTION 14.10 HEADINGS. Section and subsection headings in this Loan Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Loan Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect. SECTION 14.11 APPLICABLE LAW. THIS LOAN AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS WERE NEGOTIATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND EXECUTED AND DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE PROCEEDS OF THE LOAN WERE DISBURSED FROM NEW YORK, WHICH STATE THE PARTIES AGREE HAS A SUBSTANTIAL RELATIONSHIP TO THE PARTIES AND TO THE UNDERLYING TRANSACTION EMBODIED HEREBY, AND IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE. THIS LOAN AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA EXCEPT THAT AT ALL TIMES THE PROVISIONS FOR THE CREATION, PERFECTION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE LIENS AND SECURITY INTERESTS CREATED PURSUANT TO EACH MORTGAGE AND EACH ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE WHERE THE APPLICABLE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AND EXCEPT THAT THE SECURITY INTERESTS IN ACCOUNT COLLATERAL SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE 108 LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR THE STATE WHERE THE SAME IS HELD, AT THE OPTION OF LENDER. SECTION 14.12 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

SECTION 14.13 SOPHISTICATED PARTIES, REASONABLE TERMS, NO FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP. The Borrowers, on behalf of themselves and all Borrower Parties, represent, warrant and acknowledge that (i) they are sophisticated real estate investors, familiar with transactions of this kind, and (ii) they have entered into this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents after conducting their own assessment of the alternatives available to them in the market, and after lengthy negotiations in which they have been represented by legal counsel of their choice. The Borrowers, on behalf of themselves and all Borrower Parties, also acknowledge and agree that the rights of Lender under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents are reasonable and appropriate, taking into consideration all of the facts and circumstances including without limitation the quantity of the Loan, the nature of the Properties, and the risks incurred by Lender in this transaction. No provision in this Loan Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents and no course of dealing between the parties shall be deemed to create (i) any partnership or joint venture between Lender and the Borrowers or any other Person, or (ii) any fiduciary or similar duty by Lender to the Borrowers or any other Person. The relationship between Lender and the Borrowers is exclusively the relationship of a creditor and a debtor, and all relationships between Lender and any other Borrower are ancillary to such creditor/debtor relationship. SECTION 14.14 REASONABLENESS OF DETERMINATIONS. In any instance where any consent, approval, determination or other action by Lender is, pursuant to the Loan Documents or applicable law, required to be done reasonably or required not to be unreasonably withheld, then Lender's action shall be presumed to be reasonable, and the Borrowers shall bear the burden of proof of showing that the same was not reasonable. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where, by law or under this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and the Borrowers' sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. SECTION 14.15 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Neither Lender, nor any Affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of Lender, shall have any liability with respect to, and each of the Borrowers hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by the Borrower Parties in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, other than the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. Each of the Borrowers hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue Lender or any of Lender's Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in 109 respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Loan Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent the same is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. SECTION 14.16 NO DUTY. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, and other professional Persons and consultants retained by Lender shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of Lender and shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or obligation of any type or nature whatsoever to any of the Borrowers or Affiliates thereof, or any other Person. SECTION 14.17 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Loan Agreement, the Note, and the other Loan Documents referred to herein embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto. There are no oral agreements among the parties to the Loan Documents. SECTION 14.18 CONSTRUCTION; SUPREMACY OF LOAN AGREEMENT. The Borrowers and Lender acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the Borrowers and Lender. If any term, condition or provision of this Loan Agreement shall be inconsistent with any term, condition or provision of any other Loan Document, then this Loan Agreement shall control. SECTION 14.19 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. EACH OF THE BORROWERS HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK OR WITHIN THE COUNTY AND STATE IN WHICH THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT, ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE LITIGATED IN SUCH COURTS. EACH OF THE BORROWERS ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS AND WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE, SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR SUCH OBLIGATION. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF LENDER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. SECTION 14.20 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE BORROWERS AND LENDER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS LOAN AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN 110 ANY BORROWER PARTY AND LENDER RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION AND THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. EACH OF THE BORROWER PARTIES AND LENDER ALSO WAIVES ANY BOND OR SURETY OR SECURITY UPON SUCH BOND WHICH MIGHT, BUT FOR THIS WAIVER, BE REQUIRED OF IT. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH OF THE BORROWERS AND LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO THIS LOAN AGREEMENT, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS LOAN AGREEMENT AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THE WAIVER IN THE FUTURE. EACH OF THE BORROWERS AND LENDER FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THE WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS LOAN AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOAN. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS LOAN AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT. SECTION 14.21 COUNTERPARTS; EFFECTIVENESS. This Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents and any amendments or supplements thereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Loan Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto. SECTION 14.22 SERVICER. Lender shall have the right from time to time to designate and appoint a Servicer and special servicer, and to change or replace any Servicer or special servicer. Provided that the Borrowers have been notified of such Servicer's role, all rights of the Lender hereunder may be exercised by Servicer on behalf of Lender and provided the Borrowers shall not be required to deal with more than one such servicing entity at any time. Lender shall notify the Borrowers in writing as to the identity of the Servicer and any special servicer. SECTION 14.23 OBLIGATIONS OF BORROWER PARTIES. The Borrower Parties other than the Borrowers are parties to this Loan Agreement only with regard to the representations, warranties, and covenants specifically applicable to them. SECTION 14.24 ADDITIONAL INSPECTIONS; REPORTS.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents, at any time after the earlier to occur of (x) the second (2nd) anniversary of the date that is the "startup day," within the meaning of Section 860G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time or any successor statute (the "Code"), of a "real estate mortgage investment conduit," within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code, that holds this Note and (y) forty-eight (48) months after the date of this Note, the Borrowers shall have the right to defease all or any portion of the Loan evidenced by this Note with U.S. Government Securities (a "Defeasance"); provided that a partial Defeasance of this Note shall be permitted only in connection with the release of one or more of the Properties from the lien of the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents in accordance with Section 11.4 of the Loan Agreement and upon the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent (all of which conditions shall become covenants upon occurrence of the Defeasance): (i) The Borrowers shall provide to Lender not less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice specifying the date on which the Defeasance Deposit (hereinafter defined) is to be made (the date so specified may be referred to as the "Defeasance Election Date"). (ii) The Borrowers shall pay to Lender on the Defeasance Election Date all interest accrued and unpaid on the outstanding principal amount of this Note due through the Defeasance Election Date, or through the end of the Interest Accrual Period during which the Defeasance Election Date occurs if the Defeasance Election Date is other than a Payment Date, and the scheduled principal amortization payment due on such Defeasance Election Date, or due upon the next succeeding Payment Date if the Defeasance Election Date is other than a Payment Date, together with all other amounts, if any, then due and payable under this Note, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents. (iii) The Borrowers shall irrevocably deposit with Lender an amount of U.S. Government Securities (hereinafter defined) which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than the due dates of the payments owing hereunder, cash in an amount sufficient, without reinvestment, in the opinion of a firm of independent certified public accountants reasonably acceptable to Lender expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to Lender (the "CPA Certificate"), (1) with respect to a total Defeasance, to pay and discharge the Scheduled Defeasance Payments (hereinafter defined) for the principal balance of this Note or (2) with respect to a partial Defeasance in connection with the release of one or more Properties, to pay and discharge the Scheduled Defeasance Payments relating to the Release Price for such Property or Properties (the U.S. Government Securities so deposited together with any interest or other increase from the issuer of the securities earned thereon, and any replacements thereof, shall be referred to herein as the "Defeasance Deposit"). All such U.S. Government Securities, if in registered form, shall be registered in the name of Lender or its nominee (and, if registered in nominee's name, endorsed to Lender or in blank) and, if issued in book-entry form, the name of Lender or its 2 nominee shall appear as the owner of such securities on the books of the Federal Reserve Bank or other party maintaining such book-entry system. (iv) The Borrowers shall cause the following to be delivered to Lender on or prior to the Defeasance Election Date, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender: (a) a security agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, creating a first priority lien on the Defeasance Deposit (the "Defeasance Security Agreement"); (b) the CPA Certificate; (c) a certificate of the Borrowers certifying that all requirements for the Defeasance set forth herein have been satisfied; (d) an opinion of counsel for the Borrowers in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender to the effect that (i) Lender has a perfected first priority security interest in the Defeasance Deposit, (ii) the holder of this Note will not recognize additional income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the Defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the Defeasance had not occurred, (iii) any holder, trustee or custodian of this Note which is a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code will not fail to maintain its status as such as a result of the Defeasance and (iv) the Defeasance Security Agreement is enforceable against the Borrowers in accordance with its terms; (e) evidence in writing from the applicable Rating Agencies for any Securities backed in whole or in part by this Note, to the effect that the Defeasance will not result in a downgrading, withdrawal, or qualification of the ratings in effect immediately prior to such Defeasance for any class of such then outstanding Securities; (f) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that each of the Borrowers remains validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state where it is organized and, to the extent required by applicable law, qualified to do business in the state where its respective Property is located; and the Borrowers shall maintain such existence during the time thereafter when this Note shall be outstanding (unless a Successor Borrower (hereinafter defined) assumes the obligations of each of the Borrowers or the Defeasing Borrower(s) (as hereinafter defined), as the case may be, under this Note); and (g) a certificate of the Borrowers certifying that all of the representations, and warranties contained in the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects as of the Defeasance Election Date and ratifying all of the covenants and obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents as of such date and such other certificates, documents or instruments as Lender may reasonably request or as may be required by the Rating Agencies referred to above, provided that such certificates, documents or instruments shall not increase the Borrowers' obligations or decrease the Borrowers' rights under the Loan Documents. 3 (v) Either (1) each of the Borrowers in the case of a total Defeasance, or the Defeasing Borrower(s) in the case of a partial Defeasance shall deliver to Lender a certificate stating that at all times following the Defeasance, the Borrowers or the Defeasing Borrower(s), as the case may be, shall have no interest in any assets other than the Defeasance Deposit, or (2) such Borrower(s) shall satisfy all of the requirements of Section C below. (vi) The Borrowers shall pay to Lender all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with the Defeasance. (vii) In the event only a portion of the Loan evidenced by this Note is the subject of the Defeasance in connection with the release of any Lien of any applicable Mortgage on one or more individual Properties under Section 11.4 of the Loan Agreement, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver all necessary documents to amend and restate this Note and issue two substitute promissory notes therefor: one note having a principal balance equal to the defeased portion of the original Note (the "Defeased Note") and one note having a principal balance equal to the undefeased portion of the original Note (the "Undefeased Note"). The Defeased Note and the Undefeased Note shall have identical terms as the original Note (and the Defeased Note and the Undefeased Note or Notes shall be cross-defaulted with each other), except for the principal balance. A Defeased Note cannot be the subject of any further Defeasance. An Undefeased Note may be the subject of a further Defeasance in accordance with the terms of this Note and the Loan Agreement (the term "Note", as used above in this clause (vii) for these purposes, being deemed to refer to the Undefeased Note that is the subject of further defeasance); provided, however, that no such partial Defeasance shall take place unless the conditions hereof and the conditions of Section 11.4 of the Loan Agreement are satisfied. B. Upon compliance with the requirements of Section A above and compliance with the requirements of Section 11.4 of the Loan Agreement, Lender shall cause each of the Properties, in the case of a total Defeasance, or each Defeased Property (as hereinafter defined), in the case of a partial Defeasance, to be released from the lien of the applicable Mortgages and the other applicable Loan Documents. The obligations under the Loan Documents with respect to the Properties or each Defeased Property, as the case may be, shall no longer be applicable, and the Defeasance Deposit shall be the sole source of collateral securing this Note or the Defeased Note, as the case may be. Lender shall apply the Defeasance Deposit and the payments received therefrom to the payment of all scheduled principal and interest payments due on all successive Payment Dates under this Note or the Defeased Note, as the case may be, after the Defeasance Election Date to and including the Maturity Date and to payment of the entire remaining Debt or the entire remaining principal balance, accrued and unpaid interest and other sums due under the Defeased Note, as the case may be, on the Maturity Date (collectively, the "Scheduled Defeasance Payments"). The Borrowers, pursuant to the Defeasance Security Agreement or other appropriate document, shall direct that the payments received from the Defeasance Deposit shall be made directly to Lender and applied to satisfy the obligations of the Borrowers under this Note or the Defeased Note, as the case may be. C. If, after the Defeasance, the Borrowers, in the case of a total Defeasance, or the Defeasing Borrower(s), in the case of a partial Defeasance, will own any assets other than the Defeasance Deposit, the Borrowers or the Defeasing Borrower(s), as the case may be, shall 4 establish or designate a single-purpose, bankruptcy-remote successor entity acceptable to Lender (the "Successor Borrower"), with respect to which a nonconsolidation opinion reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and any applicable Rating Agencies shall be delivered to Lender and such Rating Agencies, in which case the Borrowers or the Defeasing Borrower(s), as the case may be, shall transfer and assign to the Successor Borrower all of their respective obligations, rights and duties under this Note or the Defeased Note, as the case may be, and the Defeasance Security Agreement, together with the pledged Defeasance Deposit. The Successor Borrower shall assume the obligations of the Borrowers or the Defeasing Borrower(s), as the case may be, under this Note or the Defeased Note, as the case may be, and the Defeasance Security Agreement, and such Borrower(s) shall be relieved and released of their respective obligations hereunder and thereunder. Each of the Borrowers or the applicable Defeasing Borrower(s), as the case may be, shall pay not less than $1,000 to the Successor Borrower as consideration for assuming such Borrower's obligations. D. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings: (i) "Defeased Property" shall mean any Property being released from the lien of the Mortgage relating to such Property pursuant to a partial Defeasance in accordance with the provisions of this Note and Section 11.4 of the Loan Agreement. (ii) "U.S. Government Securities" shall mean securities that are (i) direct obligations of the United States of America for the full and timely payment of which its full faith and credit is pledged or (ii) obligations of an entity controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality and guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation which shall be fully and timely paid by the United States of America, which in either case are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof (including a depository receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the United States Securities Act)) as custodian with respect to any such U.S. Government Securities or a specific payment of principal of or interest on any such U.S. Government Securities held by such custodian for the account of the holder of such depository receipt, provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the securities or the specific payment of principal of or interest on the securities evidenced by such depository receipt. (iii) "Defeasing Borrower" shall mean the Borrower owning or leasing, as the case may be, a Defeased Property. (iv) "Release Price" shall have the meaning set forth in the Loan Agreement. E. If, after payment in full of all obligations evidenced by this Note or any other of the Loan Documents, any of the Defeasance Deposit remains, such remaining balance of the Defeasance Deposit shall be returned to the Borrowers (or to the Successor Borrower, as the case may be) or Lender shall assign to the Borrowers (or the Successor Borrower, as the case may be) all of Lender's right, title, and interest in the Government Securities constituting the Defeasance Deposit. 5 PREPAYMENT; PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATION. The Borrowers may not prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time except as expressly provided in Section 2.6 of the Loan Agreement. EVENTS OF DEFAULT; ACCELERATION. Upon and at any time following the occurrence of any Event of Default, then at the option of Lender and without notice, the entire principal amount and all interest accrued and outstanding hereunder and all other amounts outstanding under any of the Loan Documents shall at once become due and payable, and Lender may exercise any and all of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents or pursuant to applicable law. Lender may so accelerate such obligations and exercise such remedies at any time after the occurrence of any Event of Default, regardless of any prior forbearance. LATE CHARGES; DEFAULT INTEREST. If an Event of Default relating to non-payment of any principal, interest or other sums due under this Note or under any of the other Loan Documents shall occur, then the Borrowers shall pay to Lender, in addition to all sums otherwise due and payable, a late fee in an amount equal to five percent (5.0%) of such principal, interest or other sums due hereunder or under any other Loan Document (or, in the case of a partial payment, the unpaid portion thereof), such late charge to be immediately due and payable without demand by Lender. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and in any event from and after the Maturity Date of the Loan, the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest until paid in full at a rate per annum (the "Default Rate") equal to the sum of (i) four percent (4.0%) and (ii) the Interest Rate otherwise applicable under this Note. The Borrowers agree that such late charges and Default Rate of interest are reasonable and do not constitute a penalty. LAWFUL INTEREST. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Note, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Borrowers 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 ("Excess Interest"). If any Excess Interest is provided for or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been provided for in this Note, the Loan Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, then in such event: (1) the provisions of this subsection shall govern and control; (2) the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any Excess Interest; (3) any Excess Interest that Lender may have received hereunder shall be, at Lender's option, (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(s) 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 Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction; and (5) the Borrowers shall not have any action against Lender for any damages arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest. 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 this Note or the Loan Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, 6 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. CERTAIN RIGHTS AND WAIVERS. From time to time, without affecting the obligation of the Borrowers or their successors or assigns to pay the outstanding principal balance of this Note, interest thereon and other amounts due hereunder and to observe the covenants contained herein, in the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or in any other Loan Document, without affecting the guaranty of any person or entity for payment of the outstanding principal balance of this Note, without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of any Borrower or its successors or assigns or any guarantors or indemnitor, and without liability on the part of Lender, Lender may, at its option, extend the time for payment of the outstanding principal balance of this Note or any part thereof, reduce the payments thereon, release anyone liable for payment of all or a portion of said indebtedness, accept a renewal of this Note, modify the terms and time of payment of said outstanding principal balance, join in any extension or subordination agreement, release any security given herefor, take or release other or additional security, and agree in writing with the undersigned to modify the rate of interest or period of amortization of this Note or change the amount of the monthly installments payable hereunder. Presentment, notice of dishonor, and protest are hereby waived by the Borrowers and all makers, sureties, guarantors and endorsers hereof. This Note shall be binding upon the Borrowers and their successors and assigns. EACH BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS NOTE, THE INSTRUMENTS, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, ANY OTHER AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. ASSIGNMENT AND TRANSFER OF NOTE. Subject to the provisions of the Loan Agreement, Lender shall have the right to assign or transfer, in whole or in part (including the right to grant participation interests in) any or all of its obligations under this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages and any or all of the other Loan Documents. Lender shall be released of any obligations to the extent that the same are so assigned or transferred, and the rights and obligations of "Lender" hereunder shall become the rights and obligations of the transferee holder. LIMITATION ON RECOURSE. Lender's rights of recourse for the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder are limited in accordance with Article XII of the Loan Agreement. This 7 provision shall not limit any rights of Lender under the Guaranty of Recourse Obligations or the Environmental Indemnity, each dated as of the date hereof. ATTORNEYS' FEES, COSTS OF COLLECTION. The Borrowers shall pay to Lender on demand all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred by Lender in collecting the indebtedness arising hereunder or under any other Loan Documents or secured thereby or otherwise exercising any rights or remedies of Lender hereunder or thereunder or at law or in equity or enforcing the obligations of any parties hereto or thereto, or as a consequence of any breach or default by any Borrower or any guarantor hereunder or thereunder, or otherwise as a consequence of any right evidenced or secured by this Note or the Loan Documents. Without limitation, such costs and expenses to be reimbursed by the Borrowers shall include reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in any bankruptcy case or proceeding and in any appeal. APPLICABLE LAW. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and applicable federal law. TIME OF ESSENCE. Time shall be of the essence as to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Note. If the due date of any payment due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall fall on a day other than a Business Day, the Borrowers shall be required to make such payment on the next succeeding Business Day. JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS. The obligations and liabilities of the Borrowers hereunder shall be joint and several.

This Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by Guarantor. (b) ENFORCEABILITY. This Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, or application of general principles of equity in any legal proceeding. (c) NO VIOLATION. The execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of its obligations under this Guaranty do not violate any law, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental body, agency or other instrumentality applicable to Guarantor, or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any mortgage, lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the assets of Guarantor pursuant to the terms of any mortgage, indenture, agreement or instrument to which Guarantor is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound.

(e) No compromise, alteration, amendment, modification, extension, renewal, release or other change of, or waiver, consent, delay, omission, failure to act or other action with 4 Guaranty of Recourse Obligations [FX-3] \ respect to, any liability or obligation under or with respect to, or of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of, the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents or any amendment, modification or other change of any legal requirement shall in any way alter, impair or affect any of the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, and Guarantor agrees that if any Loan Documents are modified with Lender's consent, the Guaranteed Obligations shall automatically be deemed modified to include such modifications.

Each and every remedy of Lender shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. (g) No waiver shall be deemed to have been made by Lender of any rights hereunder unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender, and any such waiver shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific matter involved and shall in no way impair the rights of Lender or the obligations of Guarantor to Lender in any other respect or at any other time. (h) At the option of Lender, Guarantor may be joined in any action or proceeding commenced by Lender against Borrowers in connection with or based upon the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or any other Loan Documents and recovery may be had against Guarantor in such action or proceeding or in any independent action or proceeding against Guarantor to the extent of Guarantor's liability hereunder, without any requirement that Lender first assert, prosecute or exhaust any remedy or claim against Borrowers or any other Person, or any security for the obligations of Borrowers or any other Person. (i) Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment is made by Borrowers or Guarantor to Lender and such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Lender (as determined by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion) upon insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, receivership, conservatorship, winding up or other similar proceeding involving or affecting any Borrower or Guarantor, all as though such payment had not been made. (j) In the event that Guarantor shall advance or become obligated to pay any sums under this Guaranty or in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or in the event that for any reason whatsoever any Borrower or any subsequent owner of any Property or any part thereof is now, or shall hereafter become, indebted to Guarantor, Guarantor agrees that (i) the amount of such sums and of such indebtedness and all interest thereon shall at all times be subordinate as to the lien, the time of payment and in all other respects to all sums, including principal and interest and other amounts, at any time owed to Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or receive payment thereof until all principal, interest and other sums due pursuant to the Loan Documents have been paid in full. Nothing herein contained is intended or shall be construed to give Guarantor any right of subrogation in or under the Loan Documents or any right to participate in any way therein, or in the right, title or interest of Lender 5 Guaranty of Recourse Obligations [FX-3] in or to any collateral for the Loan, notwithstanding any payments made by Guarantor under this Guaranty, until the actual and irrevocable receipt by Lender of payment in full of all principal, interest and other sums due with respect to the Loan or otherwise payable under the Loan Documents. If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when any such sums due and owing to Lender shall not have been fully paid, such amount shall be paid by Guarantor to Lender for credit and application against such sums due and owing to Lender. The foregoing shall not prohibit Borrowers from using the proceeds of the Loan for any permitted use under the Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, the making of distributions to Guarantor. (k) Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall survive a foreclosure, delivery of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the exercise of any power of sale or similar proceeding involving any Property or any part thereof and the exercise by Lender of any of all of its remedies pursuant to the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall survive for a period of two (2) years following payment in full of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, provided, however, in the event that any Guaranteed Obligations or liabilities of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall have arisen prior to the expiration of such period, then in any such event the foregoing survival period shall not apply and the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder shall survive.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration for, and as an inducement to, Lender's making the Loans and the Guarantor Loan, and for other good and valuable consideration the legal sufficiency of which and receipt thereof are hereby acknowledged, and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Guarantor Loan Agreement, the Guarantor Loan Documents, the Loan Agreements, the Notes, the Mortgages or any of the other Loan Documents, but subject to the provisions of Article XII of the Guarantor Loan Agreement, Lender and Guarantors do hereby agree as follows: 1. Guarantors, on behalf of themselves and their successors and assigns (collectively, "Successors") do hereby absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably and personally: (i) guaranty to Lender the full and prompt payment and performance when due of the Loans and all other Obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Agreements and (ii) agree to reimburse Lender for, and hold Lender harmless from and against, any and all losses, damages, claims, expenses, deficiencies, liabilities and costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred, suffered or sustained by Lender and/or its successors and assigns as a result of or arising out of, in connection with or resulting from, the enforcement of this Agreement against Guarantors (the obligations of Guarantors under clauses (i) and (ii) above being referred to hereinafter, collectively, as "Guarantors' Obligations"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything else to the contrary contained herein, in the event that any of the Guarantors shall become an Excluded Borrower and the Guarantor Loan shall become an Excluded Loan pursuant to Lender's election under Section 2.12(G) of the Guarantor Loan Agreement to cause any of the Loans to no longer be secured by the Guarantor Properties, this Guaranty shall automatically terminate and shall be of no further force or effect. 2. It is agreed that the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be primary and this Agreement shall be enforceable against Guarantors and their Successors without the necessity for any suit or proceeding of any kind or nature whatsoever brought by Lender against Borrowers or their respective successors or assigns or any other party or against any security for the payment of the Guarantors' Obligations and without the necessity of any notice of non-payment or non-observance or of any notice of acceptance of this Agreement or of any notice of demand to which Guarantors might otherwise be entitled (including, without limitation, diligence, presentment, notice of maturity, extension of time, protest, notice of dishonor or default, change in nature or form of the Guarantors' Obligations, acceptance of further security, release of further security, imposition or agreement arrived at as to the amount of or the terms of the Guarantors' Obligations, notice of adverse change in Borrowers' financial condition and any other fact that might materially increase the risk to Guarantors), all of which Guarantors hereby expressly waive. Guarantors hereby expressly agree that the validity of this Agreement and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall in no way be terminated, affected, diminished, modified or impaired by reason of the assertion of or the failure to assert by Lender against Borrowers, or their successors or assigns, any of the rights or remedies reserved to Lender pursuant to the provisions of the Guarantor Loan Agreement, the Loan Agreements, the Notes, the Mortgages or any other Loan Documents. 3. Guarantors waive, and covenant and agree that they will not at any time insist upon, plead or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any and all appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshaling-of-assets or redemption laws, or right of homestead or exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, that may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance by Guarantors of their obligations under, or the enforcement by Lender of, this Agreement. Guarantors further covenant and agree not to set up or claim any defense, counterclaim, cross-claim, offset, set-off, right of recoupment, or other objection of any kind to any action, suit or proceeding in law, equity or otherwise, or to any demand or claim that may be instituted or made by Lender hereunder other than the 2 Cross-Guaranty (Fixed 3) defense of the actual timely performance of Guarantors' Obligations hereunder. Guarantors represent, warrant and agree that, as of the date hereof, their obligations under this Agreement are not subject to any counterclaims, cross-claims, rights of recoupment, offsets or affirmative or other defenses of any kind against Lender. 4. Guarantors agree that any notice or directive given at any time by Guarantors to Lender that is inconsistent with any waiver contained in this Agreement shall be void and may be ignored by Lender, and, in addition, may not be pleaded or introduced as evidence in any litigation relating to this Agreement for the reason that such pleading or introduction would be at variance with the written terms of this Agreement, unless Lender has specifically agreed otherwise in a writing, signed by a duly authorized officer. Guarantors specifically acknowledge and agree that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the Loan transaction and that, but for this Agreement and such waivers, Lender would not make the Loans to Borrowers. 5. The provisions of this Agreement are for the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between Borrowers and Lender, the obligations of Borrowers under the Loan Agreements, the Notes, the Mortgages or any of the other Loan Documents. 6. This Agreement shall be a continuing guaranty and the liability of Guarantors hereunder shall in no way be terminated, affected, modified, impaired or diminished (to the extent permitted by law) by reason of the happening, from time to time, of any of the following, although without notice or the further consent of Guarantors: (a) any assignment, amendment, modification or waiver of or change in any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of the Guarantor Loan Agreement, the Loan Agreements, the Notes, the Mortgages or any of the other Loan Documents or the invalidity or unenforceability of any of the foregoing; or (b) any extension of time that may be granted by Lender to Borrowers, Guarantors or Guarantors' Successors; or (c) any action that Lender or Borrowers may take or fail to take under or in respect of any of the Loan Documents or by reason of any waiver of, or failure to enforce any of the rights, remedies, powers or privileges available to Lender under this Agreement or available to Lender at law, equity or otherwise, or any action on the part of Lender or Borrowers granting indulgence or extension in any form whatsoever; or (d) any dealing, transaction, matter or thing occurring between Lender, Borrowers, Guarantors or Guarantors' Successors; or (e) any sale, exchange, release, or other disposition of any property pledged, Mortgaged or conveyed, or any property in which Lender has been granted a lien or security interest to secure any indebtedness of Borrowers to Lender; or (f) any release of any person or entity who may be liable in any manner for the payment and collection of any amounts owed by Borrowers to Lender (including the other Guarantors); or (g) the application of any sums by whomsoever paid or however realized to any amounts owing by Borrowers to Lender in such manner as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion; or 3 Cross-Guaranty (Fixed 3) (h) any Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Guarantor Loan Agreement and the Loan Agreements), whether or not Lender has exercised any of its rights and remedies as set forth in the Guarantor Loan Agreement or the Mortgages upon the happening of any such Event of Default; or (i) Borrowers' and/or Guarantors' voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale of all or substantially all of their respective assets and liabilities, appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, sequestrator or conservator for all or any part of Borrowers' or Guarantors' assets, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment, or the commencement of other similar proceedings affecting Borrowers or Guarantors or any of the assets of either of them, including, without limitation, (A) the release or discharge of Borrowers from the payment and performance of their obligations under any of the Loan Documents by operation of law, or (B) the impairment, limitation or modification of the liability of Borrowers, their partners or Guarantors in bankruptcy, or of any remedy for the enforcement of the Guarantors' Obligations, under any of the Loan Documents, or Guarantors' liability under this Agreement, resulting from the operation of any present or future provisions of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or other present or future federal, state or applicable statute of law or from the decision in any court; or (j) any change in or termination of the ownership interest of Guarantors in Borrowers (whether direct or indirect); or (k) any conveyance of the Mortgaged Properties, whether or not pursuant to a foreclosure sale, a deed in lieu of foreclosure, a transfer through bankruptcy, or otherwise. 7. Guarantors acknowledge that this Guaranty and Guarantors' Obligations are and shall at all times continue to be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable in all respects, and shall at all times be valid and enforceable irrespective of any other agreement or circumstances of any nature whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a defense to this Guaranty or the obligations of any other person or party (including, without limitation, Borrower or any other guarantor) relating to this Guaranty or the obligations of Guarantors hereunder. 8. Guarantors agree that if at any time all or any part of any payment at any time received by Lender from Borrowers or Guarantors under or with respect to this Agreement is or must be rescinded or returned by Lender for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrowers or Guarantors), then Guarantors' Obligations hereunder shall, to the extent of the payment rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such previous receipt by Lender, and Guarantors' Obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or reinstated, as the case may be, as to such payment, as though such previous payment to Lender had never been made. 9. Until repayment of the Indebtedness (as such term is defined in the Guarantor Loan Agreement and the Loan Agreements) and satisfaction of all of the obligations under the Guarantor Loan Agreement, Guarantors and each of them (a) shall have no right of subrogation against Borrowers, general partner of any Borrower that is a limited partnership or any other Guarantor by reason of any payments or acts of performance by a Guarantor in compliance with the obligations of a Guarantor hereunder; (b) shall have no right of indemnity, contribution, or any other right or cause of action whatsoever under law or equity against any other Guarantor by reason of any payments or acts of performance by a Guarantor in compliance with the obligations of a Guarantor hereunder; (c) hereby waive any right to enforce any remedy that any Guarantors now or hereafter shall have against Borrowers, general partner of any Borrower that is a limited partnership or any other Guarantor by reason of any one 4 Cross-Guaranty (Fixed 3) or more payments or acts of performance in compliance with the obligations of a Guarantor hereunder; (d) shall subordinate any liability or indebtedness of Borrowers, general partner of any Borrower that is a limited partnership or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor or any affiliate of a Guarantor to the obligations of Borrowers, general partner of any Borrower that is a limited partnership or Guarantor to Lender under the Loan Documents; and (e) shall not file, assert or receive payment on any claim, whether now existing or hereafter arising, against Borrowers, general partner of any Borrower that is a limited partnership or any Guarantor in the event of the commencement of a case by or against Borrowers, general partner of any Borrower that is a limited partnership or any Guarantor under federal or state insolvency laws. 10. Guarantors represent and warrant to Lender, with the knowledge that Lender is relying upon the same, as follows: (a) Guarantors are solvent and have the legal right to enter into this Agreement and to perform their obligations under the terms hereof; (b) to the best of Guarantors' knowledge, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or threatened against or affecting Guarantors at law, in equity, in admiralty or before any arbitrator or any governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality (domestic or foreign) that is likely to result in any material adverse change in the property, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of Guarantors or that is likely to impair materially the ability of Guarantors to perform their obligations under this Agreement; and (c) all financial statements that have heretofore been furnished by Guarantors to Lender in connection with this Agreement, are true, correct and complete; and fairly present the financial condition of Guarantors, all as of the respective dates thereof. 11. Guarantors and Lender acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection and enforcement in respect of any of the Guarantors' Obligations. 12. Lender may freely assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement, but any such assignment shall be made only to the subsequent holder of any of the Notes and no such assignment shall increase Guarantors' Obligations or diminish its rights hereunder. In the event of any such assignment, the consent of Guarantors shall not be required for any such assignment and failure to give notice of such assignment shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any such assignment or subject Lender to any liability and Guarantors shall continue to remain bound by and obligated to perform under and with respect to this Agreement. Guarantors shall not assign any of their obligations under this Agreement without the prior consent of the Lender. 13. The representations, warranties and obligations of Guarantor set forth in this Agreement shall survive until this Agreement shall terminate in accordance with the terms hereof. 14. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements relating to such subject matter and may not be modified, amended, supplemented or discharged except by a written agreement signed by Guarantors and Lender. This Agreement also may be discharged by full performance of the Guarantors' Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof, or as otherwise provided herein. 15. If all or any portion of any provision contained in this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, such provision or portion 5 Cross-Guaranty (Fixed 3) thereof shall be deemed stricken and severed from this Agreement and the remaining provision and portions thereof shall continue in full force and effect. 16. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under or in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given or made (i) three (3) days after the date such notice is mailed, (ii) on the next Business Day if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, (iii) on the date of delivery by personal delivery and (iv) on the date of transmission if sent by telefax during business hours on a Business Day (otherwise the next Business Day).

This Agreement shall be binding upon Guarantors and their Successors and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns. 18. The failure of Lender to enforce any right or remedy hereunder, or promptly to enforce any such right or remedy, shall not constitute a waiver thereof, nor give rise to any estoppel against Lender, nor excuse Guarantors from their obligations hereunder. Any waiver of any such right or remedy to be enforceable against Lender must be expressly set forth in writing signed by Lender. 19. (a) Any suit initiated by Lender against Guarantors or in connection with or arising, directly or indirectly, out of or relating to, this Agreement (an "Action") may, at Lender's option, be brought in any state or federal court in the State of New York, or any state or federal court in which the property is located, having jurisdiction over the subject matter hereof. Guarantors hereby submit themselves to the jurisdiction of any such court and agree that service of process against Guarantors in any such action may be effected by any means permissible under federal law or under the laws of the state in which such Action is brought. Guarantors hereby agree that insofar as is permitted under applicable law, this consent to personal jurisdiction shall be self-operative and no further instrument or action, other than service of process in one of the manners specified in this Guaranty, or as otherwise permitted by law, shall be necessary in order to confer jurisdiction upon Guarantors. 6 Cross-Guaranty (Fixed 3) (b) Guarantors agree that, provided that service of process is effected upon Guarantors in any manner permitted by law, Guarantors irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, (i) any objection that Guarantors may have or may hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any Action brought in any court as provided for by this Agreement, (ii) any claim that any Action brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, or (iii) any claim that Guarantors are not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court. Guarantors agree that, provided that service of process is effected upon Guarantors in one of the manners specified in this Guaranty or as otherwise permitted by law, a final judgment from which Guarantors have not appealed or may not appeal in any Action brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon Guarantors and may, so far as permitted under applicable law, be enforced in the courts of any state or any federal court or in any other courts to the jurisdiction of which it is subject, by a suit upon such judgment and that Guarantors shall not assert any defense, counterclaim or set-off in any such suit upon such judgment. (c) To the extent that Guarantors have or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment before judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to Guarantors or Guarantors' property, Guarantors hereby irrevocably waive such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement. (d) As a further inducement to Lender's making of the Loans to Borrowers, and in consideration thereof, Lender and Guarantors each covenant and agree that in any action or proceeding brought on, under or by virtue of this Agreement, Lender and Guarantors each shall and do hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waive trial by jury. (e) Guarantors hereby further covenant and agree to and with Lender that Guarantors may be joined in any action against Borrowers in connection with the Guarantor Loan Agreement, the Loan Agreements, the Notes, the Mortgages, or any of the other Loan Documents, solely with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. (f) Guarantors covenant and agree to indemnify and save Lender harmless of and from, and defend it against, all losses, costs, liabilities, expenses, damages or claims suffered by reason of Guarantors' failure to perform its obligations hereunder. 20. All of Lender's rights and remedies under the Guarantor Loan Agreement, the Loan Agreements, the Notes, the Mortgages or any of the other Loan Documents or under this Agreement are intended to be distinct, separate and cumulative and no such right or remedy therein or herein mentioned is intended to be in exclusion of or a waiver of any other right or remedy available to Lender. 21. Guarantors hereby consent that from time to time, before or after any default by Borrower, with or without further notice to or assent from Guarantors, any security at any time held by or available to Lender for any obligation of Borrowers, or any security at any time held by or available to Lender for any obligation of any other person or party secondarily or otherwise liable for all or any portion of the Loans, may be exchanged, surrendered or released and any obligation of Borrowers, or of any such other person or party, may be changed, altered, renewed, extended, continued, surrendered, compromised, waived or released in whole or in part, or any default with respect thereto waived, and Lender may fail to set off and may release, in whole or in part, any balance of any deposit account or credit on its books in favor of Borrowers, or of any such other person or party, and may extend further credit in any manner whatsoever to Borrowers, and generally deal with Borrowers or any such security or other person or party as Lender may see fit; and Guarantors shall remain bound under this Agreement 7 Cross-Guaranty (Fixed 3) notwithstanding any such exchange, surrender, release, change, alteration, renewal, extension, continuance, compromise, waiver, action, inaction, extension of further credit or other dealing. This Agreement is independent of, and in addition to, all collateral granted, pledged or assigned under the Loan Documents. 22. The terms of this Agreement have been negotiated, and this Agreement has been executed and delivered in the State of New York, and it is the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of such State. 23. This Agreement may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought. 24. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, which together shall constitute the same instrument. 25. All representations, warranties, covenants (both affirmative and negative) and all other obligations under this Guaranty shall be the joint and several obligation of each of the Guarantors and any default under this Guaranty by any such Guarantor shall be deemed a default by all such Guarantors.

A. Hotel Manager has entered into a certain Management Agreement (each a "CONTRACT" and collectively, the "CONTRACTS") with each Borrower, a true, correct and complete copy of which has been delivered to Lender on or prior to the date hereof and the form of which is attached hereto as EXHIBIT A, providing for the performance by Hotel Manager of certain management obligations more particularly described therein with respect to the management and operation of the property as more particularly described therein (each, a "PROPERTY" and collectively, the "PROPERTIES"). B. This Agreement is being executed in order to amend each Contract, to conditionally assign each Borrower's interest therein to Lender, and to subordinate Hotel Manager's rights to payment under the Contracts to Lender's lien on the Properties in connection with Lender's making a loan to Borrowers and certain other borrowers (collectively, the "MORTGAGE BORROWERS") in the original principal amount of up to Sixty Six Million Eight Hundred and Eighteen Thousand Five Hundred and no/100 Dollars ($66,818,500.00) (the "LOAN") pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of even date herewith (as amended, modified or restated, the "LOAN AGREEMENT"), among Mortgage Borrowers and Lender.

All capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Loan Agreement, a copy of which Hotel Manager hereby acknowledges having received. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Hotel Manager and Borrowers hereby represent, warrant and covenant to Lender as follows: 1. As additional collateral security for the Loan, each Borrower hereby conditionally transfers, sets over and assigns to Lender all of such Borrower's right, title and interest in and to its Contract, said transfer and assignment to automatically become a present, unconditional assignment, at Lender's option, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default by Borrowers under any of the Loan Documents. 2. Hotel Manager hereby agrees that each Contract, all rights, interests and privileges of Hotel Manager thereunder, and all management fees and other payment obligations of each Borrower to Hotel Manager for services rendered by Hotel Manager for the management and operation of its Property, as such services are more particularly described in such Contract, are hereby subordinated to the Loan Documents and the liens in favor of Lender provided for therein, and to all rights of Lender to receive payment from Borrowers under the Note and all other amounts which may be due Lender under the Loan Documents. Hotel Manager recognizes and agrees that so long as the Note is being paid in strict accordance with its terms and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will by virtue of payments to Hotel Manager occur, Hotel Manager shall, subject to the requirements of the Loan Documents, including any such requirements governing management and application of the Properties and Borrower revenues and cash flow, be entitled to receive payments provided for under such Contract in accordance with the terms thereof. Hotel Manager hereby releases, discharges and waives any and all liens, claims, demands of any kind or nature, against each Property, either now or in the future, arising from the services provided by Hotel Manager for the management and operation of such Property. 3.

Upon Lender's request, Hotel Manager will continue to perform under such Contract until such time as Lender may elect to terminate such Contract, provided that Hotel Manager shall continue to receive all fees payable to it under such Contract. Subject to the foregoing, Hotel Manager agrees that it shall not be entitled to receive any management fee or other fee, commission or other amount payable under the Contract or otherwise for and during any period of time that any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, provided that Hotel Manager shall not be obligated to return or refund to Lender any management fee or other fee, commission or other amount already received by Hotel Manager prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default, and to which Hotel Manager was entitled under paragraph 2 above. In all events, Hotel Manager recognizes that the maximum amount that shall be due and payable under each Contract is the amount stated therein (such amount being adequate to complete the services called for in such Contract), and that Hotel Manager will not claim any incidental, consequential, or exemplary damages of any nature as a condition to completing its performance under the Contract. 4. In the event that (a) Hotel Manager becomes insolvent, or (b) an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, or (c) any default occurs by Hotel Manager under the Management Agreement beyond the expiration of any notice and cure periods, or (d) any other event occurs which, under the terms of the Loan Documents, entitles Lender to direct Borrower to replace Hotel Manager, Lender may exercise its rights under the Loan Documents and direct any Borrower to terminate its Contract and/or to replace Hotel Manager with a management company chosen by such Borrower and reasonably acceptable to Lender. Upon receiving notice 2 of any such election, Hotel Manager shall abide by such direction to terminate and cooperate with any replacement manager approved or designated by Lender. No termination fee or other compensation shall be due or owing under such Contract as a result of any such termination other than accrued unpaid fees. 5. Without limiting the foregoing, subject to the second sentence of paragraph 3 hereof, in the event Lender forecloses or otherwise succeeds to the rights of any Borrower with respect to any Property, Lender shall have the option upon written notice to Hotel Manager delivered within thirty (30) days following foreclosure by Lender or other acquisition of such Property by Lender, either to (a) terminate the applicable Contract without any obligation or liability of Lender to pay the termination fees, if any; or (b) continue such Contract in effect upon all of the terms and provisions provided in such Contract, except that Lender shall have no obligation to pay any sums due and owing under the Contract as of the date of foreclosure or other acquisition of such Property, and Lender shall have the right after it elects to continue such Contract under subparagraph (b) hereof to terminate such Contract without cause upon thirty (30) days written notice to Hotel Manager without any obligation or liability of Lender to pay the termination fees, if any other than accrued unpaid fees. Hotel Manager acknowledges and agrees with Lender that Lender has not assumed any obligations or liabilities of such Borrower to Hotel Manager under such Contract. If Lender chooses not to continue any Contract following a foreclosure or other acquisition of any Property, the only compensation from Lender for which Hotel Manager shall be entitled under such Contract shall be for the period commencing with the date of such foreclosure or other acquisition and ending upon the subsequent termination by Lender of such Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in the event Lender forecloses or otherwise succeeds to the rights of any Borrower with respect to its Property, upon Lender's request, Hotel Manager agrees to transfer and assign to Lender, or its designee, to the extent possible, all applicable licenses (including, without limitation, each liquor license and beer permit), permits and approvals required for the use, occupancy, operation and maintenance of each of the Property and held by or in the name of Hotel Manager, and, if requested by Lender and permitted by applicable law, enter into such reasonable concession or use agreements with Lender or its designee (subject to appropriate indemnification) as are reasonably necessary to allow Lender or its designee to offer, or cause to be offered, liquor and beer for sale at such Property. For this purpose, Hotel Manager constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the assignment of each of the items referenced in the preceding sentence in the name of Hotel Manager pursuant to this paragraph 5. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. 6. Hotel Manager agrees (a) not to resign as Hotel Manager without ninety (90) days prior written notice to Lender, and (b) not to amend any Contract in any material respect without Lender's prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 7. Hotel Manager acknowledges and agrees that any and all rents, room rents, credit card receipts, other receipts, profits or other sums, including any management fees in excess of the management fees to which Hotel Manager is entitled pursuant to paragraph 2 hereof, and receipts derived from the sale of alcoholic beverages (collectively herein called "PROPERTY PROCEEDS") collected or received by Hotel Manager from the Properties are subject to 3 a security interest of Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, and shall be collected and held by Hotel Manager in trust for the benefit of the applicable Borrower and Lender. Any such Property Proceeds shall be deposited by Hotel Manager within two (2) Business Days of receipt into a deposit account (the "DEPOSIT ACCOUNT") in the name of the Lender and identified in that certain Deposit Account Agreement or other similar agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, modified, replaced or supplemented from time to time, each, a "DEPOSIT ACCOUNT AGREEMENT") among the applicable Borrower, Lender, Hotel Manager and the bank named therein. Upon transfer of any such Property Proceeds to Hotel Manager from the Lock Box Account (as defined in that certain Cash Management Agreement dated as of even date herewith (as amended, restated, modified, replaced or supplemented from time to time, the "CASH MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT"), among Mortgage Borrowers, Lender, Hotel Manager and Wachovia Bank, National Association) as directed by the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Cash Management Agreement, such Property Proceeds shall be used by Hotel Manager for proper expenses and costs of managing and operating the applicable Property as permitted under the applicable Contract, subject, in all instances, to compliance with the Operating Budget and FF&E Budget then in effect and limitations on distributions to Borrowers, each as more fully described in the Loan Agreement. Hotel Manager hereby disclaims any and all interests in the Deposit Account, the Lock Box Account (and any Sub-Accounts thereof), the Property Operating Account and in any of the Property Proceeds. Upon written notice from Lender that an Event of Default has occurred under the Loan Agreement and/or other Loan Documents, Hotel Manager agrees to apply Property Proceeds as instructed by Lender. 8.

A. Hotel Manager has entered into a certain Management Agreement (each a "CONTRACT" and collectively, the "CONTRACTS") with each Borrower, a true, correct and complete copy of which has been delivered to Lender on or prior to the date hereof and the form of which is attached hereto as EXHIBIT A, providing for the performance by Hotel Manager of certain management obligations more particularly described therein with respect to the management and operation of the property as more particularly described therein (each, a "PROPERTY" and collectively, the "PROPERTIES"). B. This Agreement is being executed in order to amend each Contract, to conditionally assign each Borrower's interest therein to Lender, and to subordinate Hotel Manager's rights to payment under the Contracts to Lender's lien on the Properties in connection with Lender's making a loan to Borrowers and certain other borrowers (collectively, the "MORTGAGE BORROWERS") in the original principal amount of up to Sixty Six Million Eight Hundred and Eighteen Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($66,818,500.00) (the "LOAN") pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of even date herewith (as amended, modified or restated, the "LOAN AGREEMENT"), among Mortgage Borrowers and Lender. The Loan is evidenced by a certain Promissory Note, dated of even date herewith (as amended, modified or restated, and any replacements or substitutes therefor (by means of multiple notes or otherwise), the "NOTE"), made by Mortgage Borrowers in favor of Lender and is secured by, among other things, those certain Mortgages/Deeds of Trust/Deeds to Secure Debt, Assignments of Leases and Rents and Security Agreements, dated as of even date herewith (as amended, modified, restated, spread or consolidated, collectively, the "SECURITY INSTRUMENT"), in favor of Lender (the Note, the Security Instrument, the Loan Agreement, this Agreement and all other documents executed in connection with the Loan are collectively referred to as the "LOAN DOCUMENTS"). All capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Loan Agreement, a copy of which Hotel Manager hereby acknowledges having received. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Hotel Manager and Borrowers hereby represent, warrant and covenant to Lender as follows: 1. As additional collateral security for the Loan, each Borrower hereby conditionally transfers, sets over and assigns to Lender all of such Borrower's right, title and interest in and to its Contract, said transfer and assignment to automatically become a present, unconditional assignment, at Lender's option, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default by Borrowers under any of the Loan Documents. 2. Hotel Manager hereby agrees that each Contract, all rights, interests and privileges of Hotel Manager thereunder, and all management fees and other payment obligations of each Borrower to Hotel Manager for services rendered by Hotel Manager for the management and operation of its Property, as such services are more particularly described in such Contract, are hereby subordinated to the Loan Documents and the liens in favor of Lender provided for therein, and to all rights of Lender to receive payment from Borrowers under the Note and all other amounts which may be due Lender under the Loan Documents. Hotel Manager recognizes and agrees that so long as the Note is being paid in strict accordance with its terms and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will by virtue of payments to Hotel Manager occur, Hotel Manager shall, subject to the requirements of the Loan Documents, including any such requirements governing management and application of the Properties and Borrower revenues and cash flow, be entitled to receive payments provided for under such Contract in accordance with the terms thereof. Hotel Manager hereby releases, discharges and waives any and all liens, claims, demands of any kind or nature, against each Property, either now or in the future, arising from the services provided by Hotel Manager for the management and operation of such Property. 3. In the event that such Borrower defaults under the terms of its Contract, Hotel Manager agrees that before exercising any rights or remedies with respect thereto, it will notify Lender of such default. Upon Lender's request, Hotel Manager will continue to perform under such Contract until such time as Lender may elect to terminate such Contract, provided that Hotel Manager shall continue to receive all fees payable to it under such Contract. Subject to the foregoing, Hotel Manager agrees that it shall not be entitled to receive any management fee or other fee, commission or other amount payable under the Contract or otherwise for and during any period of time that any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, provided that Hotel Manager shall not be obligated to return or refund to Lender any management fee or other fee, commission or other amount already received by Hotel Manager prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default, and to which Hotel Manager was entitled under paragraph 2 above. In all events, Hotel Manager recognizes that the maximum amount that shall be due and payable under each Contract is the amount stated therein (such amount being adequate to complete the services called for in such Contract), and that Hotel Manager will not claim any incidental, consequential, or exemplary damages of any nature as a condition to completing its performance under the Contract. 4. In the event that (a) Hotel Manager becomes insolvent, or (b) an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, or (c) any default occurs by Hotel Manager under the Management Agreement beyond the expiration of any notice and cure periods, or (d) any other event occurs which, under the terms of the Loan Documents, entitles Lender to direct Borrower to replace Hotel Manager, Lender may exercise its rights under the Loan Documents and direct any Borrower to terminate its Contract and/or to replace Hotel Manager with a management 2 company chosen by such Borrower and reasonably acceptable to Lender. Upon receiving notice of any such election, Hotel Manager shall abide by such direction to terminate and cooperate with any replacement manager approved or designated by Lender. No termination fee or other compensation shall be due or owing under such Contract as a result of any such termination other than accrued unpaid fees. 5. Without limiting the foregoing, subject to the second sentence of paragraph 3 hereof, in the event Lender forecloses or otherwise succeeds to the rights of any Borrower with respect to any Property, Lender shall have the option upon written notice to Hotel Manager delivered within thirty (30) days following foreclosure by Lender or other acquisition of such Property by Lender, either to (a) terminate the applicable Contract without any obligation or liability of Lender to pay the termination fees, if any; or (b) continue such Contract in effect upon all of the terms and provisions provided in such Contract, except that Lender shall have no obligation to pay any sums due and owing under the Contract as of the date of foreclosure or other acquisition of such Property, and Lender shall have the right after it elects to continue such Contract under subparagraph (b) hereof to terminate such Contract without cause upon thirty (30) days written notice to Hotel Manager without any obligation or liability of Lender to pay the termination fees, if any other than accrued unpaid fees. Hotel Manager acknowledges and agrees with Lender that Lender has not assumed any obligations or liabilities of such Borrower to Hotel Manager under such Contract. If Lender chooses not to continue any Contract following a foreclosure or other acquisition of any Property, the only compensation from Lender for which Hotel Manager shall be entitled under such Contract shall be for the period commencing with the date of such foreclosure or other acquisition and ending upon the subsequent termination by Lender of such Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in the event Lender forecloses or otherwise succeeds to the rights of any Borrower with respect to its Property, upon Lender's request, Hotel Manager agrees to transfer and assign to Lender, or its designee, to the extent possible, all applicable licenses (including, without limitation, each liquor license and beer permit), permits and approvals required for the use, occupancy, operation and maintenance of each of the Property and held by or in the name of Hotel Manager, and, if requested by Lender and permitted by applicable law, enter into such reasonable concession or use agreements with Lender or its designee (subject to appropriate indemnification) as are reasonably necessary to allow Lender or its designee to offer, or cause to be offered, liquor and beer for sale at such Property. For this purpose, Hotel Manager constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the assignment of each of the items referenced in the preceding sentence in the name of Hotel Manager pursuant to this paragraph 5. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. 6. Hotel Manager agrees (a) not to resign as Hotel Manager without ninety (90) days prior written notice to Lender, and (b) not to amend any Contract in any material respect without Lender's prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 7.

Capitalized terms used herein and not herein defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Loan Agreement. C.

The parties intend that this Assignment shall be a present, actual, absolute and unconditional assignment and shall, immediately upon execution, give Lender the right to assume Borrower's interest in the Collateral; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall have a license to utilize the Collateral in accordance with the terms thereof. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under any of the Loan Documents, Borrower's license mentioned in the immediately preceding sentence shall cease and terminate, without the execution of any further instrument or document or the taking of any other act on the part of Lender, and in such event, subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender shall be entitled to utilize the Collateral in Borrower's place and stead, in the name of Borrower or otherwise, and in furtherance thereof, subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender may enter upon the Property and take possession of the Property by its officers, agents or employees, or by a court-appointed receiver, and for the operation, protection, repair and maintenance of the Property, and in connection therewith, Lender shall be entitled to take possession of and use all books of account and financial records of Borrower and its property managers or representatives relating to the Property. 2. Neither this Assignment nor any action or inaction on the part of Lender shall constitute an assumption on the part of Lender of any duty or obligation with respect to the Collateral, nor shall Lender have any duty or obligation to make any payment to be made by Borrower under the Collateral, or to present or file any claim, or to take any other action to -2- collect or enforce the payment of any amounts or the performance of any obligations which have been assigned to Lender or to which it may be entitled hereunder at any time or times.

Borrower, at its expense, shall execute and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as Lender, from time to time, may reasonably request in order to obtain the full benefits of this Assignment and of the rights and powers herein created and to maintain and perfect the security interest granted in this Assignment.

The Loan is evidenced by a certain Promissory Note, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified, restated or split from time to time, the "NOTE") and secured by, inter alia, those certain Mortgages/Deeds of Trust/Deeds to Secure Debt, Assignments of Leases and Rents and Security Agreements, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified or restated from time to time, collectively, the "SECURITY INSTRUMENT"), with respect to the Property. D. As a condition to Lender's making the Loan, Lender is requiring that Indemnitors indemnify the Indemnified Parties (as hereinafter defined) with respect to environmental conditions or liabilities on, in, under or affecting the Property as hereinafter set forth. E. Obligor holds a direct and/or indirect ownership interest in Borrower and will derive substantial economic benefit from Lender making the Loan to Borrower. NOW, THEREFORE, to induce Lender to extend the Loan to Borrower and in consideration of the foregoing premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Indemnitors hereby covenant and agree for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties as follows: 1. DEFINITIONS. The following terms shall have the following meanings when used herein: "COSTS" shall mean, collectively, all liens, damages, losses, fines, liabilities (including, without limitation, any strict liability), obligations, settlements, penalties, assessments, citations, directives, claims, litigations, demands, response costs (including, without limitation, investigation, removal, remediation, mitigation, containment, post-closure and monitoring costs), defenses, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, laboratory fees, disbursements and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys', consultants' and experts' fees and disbursements). Costs shall also include any future reduction in sales price of, or unmarketability and consequent inability of Lender to foreclose on or otherwise sell, the Property and the lost opportunity costs resulting from the inability of Lender to sell or dispose of its interest in the Property, all as a consequence of any event described in paragraph 2 herein to the extent that such loss in value results in Lender receiving in any foreclosure, or deed in lieu thereof, of the Properties less than the full amount of the Obligations by reason of any matter set forth in Section 2. "ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS" shall have the meaning given to such term in the Loan Agreement. "HAZARDOUS MATERIAL" shall have the meaning given to such term in the Loan Agreement. "INDEMNIFIED PARTY" shall mean Lender, any subsequent holder of the Note and each of their officers, directors, shareholders, principals, partners, representatives, employees, agents, successors and assigns. "TENANTS" shall mean all tenants, lessees, subtenants and other occupants of the Property. 2. INDEMNITY. (a) Except as provided in Section 2(b) below, Indemnitors hereby assume liability for, and agree to pay, protect, defend, indemnify and save all Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all Costs which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or awarded against any of the Indemnified Parties or the Property, and arising directly or indirectly from: (i) the violation or alleged violation of any Environmental Laws relating to or affecting the Property, whether or not caused by or within the control of Indemnitors; (ii) the actual or alleged presence, release or threat of release of, or exposure to any Hazardous Material on, in, under or affecting all or any portion of the Property or any surrounding areas, regardless of whether or not caused by or within the control of Indemnitors; (iii) any actual or alleged personal injury or property damage arising out of or related to Hazardous Material on the Property; (iv) any acts or omissions that exacerbate an existing condition at the Property and give 2 rise to liability under any Environmental Law; (v) the failure by Indemnitors to comply fully with the terms and conditions of this Agreement in all material respects; (vi) a material breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement; (vii) the enforcement of this Agreement; or (viii) assessment, investigation, containment, monitoring, remediation and/or removal of any and all Hazardous Material from the Property or any surrounding areas, and costs incurred to comply with Environmental Laws in connection with the Property or any surrounding areas. (b) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, Indemnitors shall have no liability under this Agreement with respect to Costs relating to Hazardous Material which is initially placed on, in or under the Property after the earlier of (i) Lender or any receiver appointed at the request of Lender taking actual possession and control of the Property following an Event of Default, and (ii) Lender completing a foreclosure or other sale pursuant to which Lender takes title to the Property. Indemnitors shall have no liability under this Agreement to any Indemnified Party with respect to Costs which result from such Indemnified Party's willful misconduct or gross negligence. In addition to the foregoing, Obligor shall have no liability pursuant to this Agreement with respect to costs relating to Hazardous Material which is initially placed on, in or under the Property after the transfer of the Mezzanine Borrowers' equity interest in the applicable Borrower to the Mezzanine Lender or its designee by reason of, or in lieu of, enforcement of the Mezzanine Lender's rights under the Mezzanine Loan Documents. (c) Indemnitors' obligation to defend the Indemnified Parties hereunder shall include defense at both the trial and appellate levels and shall be with attorneys, consultants and experts selected by Indemnitor and subject to the reasonable approval of the Indemnified Parties. 3. REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING HAZARDOUS MATERIAL. Indemnitors hereby represent and warrant to agree with the Indemnified Parties as follows: (a) Indemnitors, the Property and all businesses or operations conducted thereon are in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws in all material respects; (b) Except as previously disclosed to Lender in the Phase I Reports, no Hazardous Material has been disposed of on or released (as used herein, "RELEASE" shall have the meaning provided in 42 U.S.C. Section 9601(22)) at, onto or under the Property by any Indemnitor or, to Indemnitors' knowledge, by any other Person that has not been remediated in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws or that is present at or under the Property at a level in excess of that allowed by applicable Environmental Laws; (c) Except as previously disclosed to Lender in the Phase I Reports, no Hazardous Material is located in, on or under, or has been handled, generated, stored, processed or discharged from the Property in violation of applicable Environmental Laws by any Indemnitor or, to the Indemnitors' knowledge, by any other Person, except for those materials used by Borrowers, Manager or tenants of the Property ("TENANTS") in the ordinary course of their business in material compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and not reasonably expected to give rise to liability under applicable Environmental Laws; 3 (d) Indemnitors have received no written notice that the Property is subject to any private or governmental lien or judicial or administrative notice or action relating to or arising under applicable Environmental Laws; (e) Except as previously disclosed to Lender in the Phase I Reports, there are no underground storage receptacles or surface impoundments, landfills or dumps for Hazardous Material on the Property; (f) Indemnitors have received no notice of, and to Indemnitors' knowledge there exists no investigation, action, proceeding or claim by any agency, authority or unit of government or by any third party asserted or threatened which could result in any liability, penalty, sanction or judgment under any applicable Environmental Laws with respect to any condition, use or operation of the Property, nor do Indemnitors know of any basis for any of the foregoing; (g) Except as previously disclosed to Lender in the Phase I Reports or the Property Condition Reports, there is no asbestos-containing material or lead-based paint at the Property nor are there any polychlorinated biphenyls ("PCB'S"), endangered species' habitats or wetlands at the Property; (h) Indemnitors have received no notice that, and to Indemnitors' knowledge, there has been no claim by any party that, any use, operation or condition of the Property has caused any nuisance or any other liability or adverse condition on any other property nor do Indemnitors know of any basis for such a claim relating to Hazardous Material; (i) Except as previously disclosed in writing to Lender, Indemnitor has not knowingly waived or released any Person's liability with regard to Hazardous Material in, on, under or around the Property nor retained or assumed, contractually or otherwise, any other Person's liability relative to Hazardous Material or any claim, action or proceeding relating thereto; and (j) Except as previously disclosed to Lender in the Phase I Reports, neither the Property nor any other property owned by any Borrower (i) is included or, to Indemnitor's knowledge, proposed for inclusion on the National Priorities List issued pursuant to CERCLA (hereinafter defined) by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") or on any of the inventories of other potential "Problem" sites issued by the EPA or other applicable Governmental Authority nor (ii) otherwise identified by the EPA as a potential CERCLA site or included or, to Indemnitor's knowledge, proposed for inclusion on any such list or inventory issued pursuant to any other applicable Environmental Law or issued by any other Governmental Authority. 4. COVENANTS OF INDEMNITORS. (a) So long as any Borrower or Affiliate thereof owns or is in possession of the Property, Indemnitors shall, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all property managers, agents, employees and Tenants to: (i) comply with all Environmental Laws applicable to the Property, (ii) keep or cause the Property to be kept free from Hazardous Material (except those materials used by Borrower, Manager or Tenants in the ordinary course of 4 their business, in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws), (iii) not install or use, or permit the installation or use of, any underground receptacles containing Hazardous Material on the Property, (iv) expressly prohibit the use, generation, handling, storage, production, release, processing and disposal of Hazardous Material by all future Tenants and Managers (except those substances used by such Tenants or Managers in the ordinary course of their business in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws) and use all commercially reasonable efforts to prevent existing Tenants, Managers and other permitted occupants of the Property from taking any such actions, (v) in any event, not install on the Property or permit to be installed on the Property PCB's, urea formaldehyde insulation, asbestos or any substance containing asbestos or any material containing lead-based paint, (vi) prohibit the disposal and/or release of any Hazardous Material in violation of applicable Environmental Laws on, at or beneath, the Property, (vii) operate and maintain, or cause to be operated and maintained, the HVAC systems at the Property in accordance with standards for operation of similar systems located at properties that are similar (including, without limitation, the manner, class of operation, and/or Franchisor standards) to the Property, (viii) cause the Required Capital Improvements which relate to mold to be completed in accordance with the standards and time frames set forth in Section 6.5 of the Loan Agreement, and (ix) not permit any Lien imposed pursuant to any applicable Environmental Law to be imposed or, subject to Section 4(c) below, to remain on the Property. (b) Indemnitors shall promptly notify Lender in writing should any Indemnitor become aware of (i) any release, disposal or discharge of Hazardous Material in violation of applicable Environmental Laws, or other material actual environmental problem or liability, with respect to or affecting the Property, (ii) any lien, action or notice of violation or potential liability affecting the Property or Borrowers and arising under any applicable Environmental Law, (iii) the institution of any investigation, inquiry or proceeding concerning Borrowers or the Property pursuant to any applicable Environmental Law or otherwise relating to Hazardous Material affecting the Property, (iv) the discovery of any occurrence, condition or state of facts which would render any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement incorrect or incomplete in any material respect if made at the time of such discovery, (v) any remedial action taken by Indemnitors or, if actually known by Indemnitor, any other Person in response to any Hazardous Material on, under or at the Property, (vi) the discovery by Indemnitors of any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Property that would reasonably be expected to cause the Property or any part thereof to be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, transferability or use thereof under any applicable Environmental Laws, and (vii) any request for information from any governmental agency that indicates such agency is investigating whether Indemnitors may be potentially responsible for a release, disposal or discharge of Hazardous Material. Borrowers shall promptly notify Lender of any proposed action to be taken pertaining in any way to the Property to commence any operations that could reasonably be expected to subject any Borrower or the Property to additional obligations or liabilities under applicable Environmental Laws, including laws, rules and regulations requiring additional or amended environmental permits or licenses which could reasonably be expected to subject any Borrower to any material obligations or requirements under any applicable Environmental Laws. Borrowers shall, at their own expense, provide copies of such documents or information as Lender may reasonably request in relation to any matters disclosed pursuant to this Section. Indemnitor shall promptly transmit to Lender 5 copies of any and all material citations, orders, notices and all other communications sent or received by any Borrower relating to any of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph. (c) Regardless of the source of contamination, Indemnitors shall, at their own expense, promptly take or cause to be taken and diligently prosecute all actions required by applicable Environmental Laws for the clean-up of the Property and other property affected by contamination in, on, under or at the Property, including, without limitation, all investigative, monitoring, removal, containment and remedial actions in accordance with and required by all applicable Environmental Laws (and in all events in a manner satisfactory to the applicable Governmental Authority and reasonably satisfactory to Lender). Indemnitor shall further pay or cause to be paid, at no expense to any Indemnified Party, all clean-up, administrative and enforcement costs of applicable governmental agencies which may be asserted against the Property. In the event Indemnitors fail to do so, or following an Event of Default, Lender may, at its sole election, cause the Property or other affected property to be freed from any Hazardous Material located thereon at a level in excess of that allowed by applicable Environmental Laws, or otherwise be brought into compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, and any cost incurred in connection therewith shall be included in Costs. Borrowers hereby grant to Lender access to the Property and an irrevocable license to remove any Hazardous Material and to do all things necessary to bring the Property into compliance in all material respects with applicable Environmental Laws. However, Lender shall have no obligation to inspect or clean up any Hazardous Material. Lender shall not be deemed a generator of any Hazardous Material removed from the Property. (d) Upon the request of Lender, at any time (i) after the occurrence of an Event of Default or (ii) Lender has reasonable grounds to believe that (A) Hazardous Material is or has been released, stored or disposed of, or existing, on or around the Property at a level in excess of that allowed by applicable Environmental Laws or (B) the Property may be in material violation of applicable Environmental Laws, Indemnitors shall cause an investigation or audit of the Property to be undertaken by a hydrogeologist or environmental engineer or other appropriate consultant reasonably approved by Lender to determine whether any Hazardous Material is located on, at, beneath, or near the Property and/or whether the Property is in compliance in all material respects with Environmental Laws. The scope of any investigation or audit shall be approved by Lender in Lender's reasonable discretion. If Indemnitors fail to provide reports of such investigation or audit within thirty (30) days after such request, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, order the same. Borrowers hereby grant to Lender and Lender's contractors access to the Property and an irrevocable license to undertake such investigation or audit provided that such investigation is conducted in a manner so as not to unreasonably affect Borrowers' operations at the Property. All reasonable costs of any such investigation or audit shall be included in Costs and shall be paid by Indemnitors in accordance with the terms of paragraph 5(c) hereof. (e) In the event that a Lien is filed against the Property pursuant to any applicable Environmental Law, Indemnitors shall, within ten (10) Business Days from the date that any Borrower receives notice of such Lien (but in any event ten (10) days prior to the date of any contemplated sale pursuant to such Lien), either (i) pay the claim and remove the Lien from the Property, or (ii) furnish, at Indemnitor's option, (A) a bond satisfactory to Lender in the amount of the claim out of which the Lien arises, (B) a cash deposit in the amount of the claim 6 out of which the Lien arises, (C) other security reasonably satisfactory to Lender in an amount sufficient to discharge the claim out of which the Lien arises, or (D) security in a form and amount satisfactory to the applicable Governmental Authority pursuant to a valid consent or other order, and Indemnitors shall promptly arrange for the removal of the Lien. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnitors shall prevent a sale pursuant to any Lien. (f) The amount of Indemnitors' liability hereunder is unrelated to the amount of the Loan and any failure of the Loan to be repaid in full. The enforcement of this Agreement by the Indemnified Parties shall not be construed by Indemnitors as an indirect attempt to recover any Loan deficiency or loss relating to the failure of the Loan to be repaid in full. Indemnitors acknowledge that they may have liability hereunder even if the Loan is repaid in full by reason of a full credit bid at any foreclosure sale under the Security Instrument, and that the amount of Indemnitor's liability hereunder could exceed the entire amount paid by Borrower for the Property. 5. INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES. (a) If any action, proceeding, litigation or claim shall be brought or asserted against any Indemnified Party for any matter which the Indemnified Parties are indemnified hereunder (each, a "CLAIM"), such Indemnified Party shall notify Indemnitors in writing thereof and Indemnitors shall promptly assume the defense thereof, including, without limitation, the employment of counsel selected by the Indemnitor and approved by the Indemnified Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and the negotiation of any settlement. Any failure of such Indemnified Party to notify Indemnitors of such matter shall not impair or reduce the obligations of Indemnitors hereunder. The Indemnified Parties shall have the right, at the reasonable expense of Indemnitors (which expense shall be included in Costs), if an Indemnified Party has reason to believe that its interests are not being adequately represented or diverge from other interests being represented by such counsel, to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof at such Indemnitor's sole cost and expense. In the event Indemnitors shall fail to discharge or undertake to defend any Indemnified Party against any Claim, such failure shall constitute an Event of Default and the Indemnified Party may, at its sole election, defend or settle such Claim. The liability of Indemnitors to such Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement by such Indemnified Party shall be conclusively established by any settlement entered into by the Indemnified Party in good faith. The amount of Indemnitors' liability hereunder shall include the settlement consideration and all other Costs, which shall be paid by the Indemnitors as hereinafter provided. Costs incurred in connection with a Claim shall be reimbursed by Indemnitors without the requirement of waiting for the ultimate outcome of such Claim. (b) Indemnitors shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, settle or compromise any Claim in any manner or consent to the entry of any judgment (i) in which the claimant or plaintiff does not unconditionally release the Indemnified Party from all liability and obligations in respect of such Claim and obtain a dismissal of such Claim with prejudice; or (ii) that may adversely affect the Indemnified Party (as determined in the reasonable discretion of such Indemnified Party) or obligate the Indemnified Party to pay any sum or perform any obligation. 7 (c) Indemnitors shall pay to the applicable Indemnified Party any and all Costs within fifteen (15) days after written notice from such Indemnified Party. All Costs shall be immediately reimbursable to the Indemnified Party or, upon request of the Indemnified Party, paid directly to the party sending a bill or other statement to the Indemnified Party. Any Costs not paid within the aforementioned fifteen (15) day period shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date incurred until the date paid in full. 6. REINSTATEMENT OF OBLIGATIONS. If at any time all or any part of any payment received by an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Indemnitor, then the obligations of Indemnitors hereunder shall, to the extent of such rescinded or returned payment, be reinstated and shall continue as though such previous payment received by the Indemnified Party had never occurred. 7. WAIVERS BY INDEMNITORS. To the extent permitted by law, Indemnitors hereby waive and agree not to assert or take advantage of: (a) Any right to require an Indemnified Party (i) to proceed against Borrower or any other Person, (ii) to proceed against or exhaust any security held by any Indemnified Party at any time or (iii) to pursue any other remedy in such Indemnified Party's power or under any other agreement, in any case, before proceeding against Indemnitors hereunder; (b) Any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other Person or the failure of an Indemnified Party to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other Person; (c) Demand, presentment for payment, protest and notice of protest, demand, dishonor and nonpayment and all other notices except as expressly required in the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, notice of new or additional indebtedness or obligations or of any action or non-action on the part of Borrower, Lender, any endorser or creditor of Borrower or of Indemnitor or of any other Person whomsoever under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (d) Any defense based upon an election of remedies, splitting a cause of action or merger of judgments by any Indemnified Party; (e) Any right or claim of right to cause a marshaling of the assets of Indemnitors; (f) Any principle or provision of law, statutory or otherwise, which is or might be in conflict with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; (g) Any duty on the part of any Indemnified Party to disclose to Indemnitors any facts such Indemnified Party may now or hereafter know about Borrower or the Property, regardless of whether such Indemnified Party (i) has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Indemnitors intend to assume, (ii) has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Indemnitors or (iii) has a reasonable opportunity to 8 communicate such facts to Indemnitors, it being understood and agreed that Indemnitors are fully responsible for being informed of the financial condition of Borrower, the condition of the Property and of all other circumstances bearing on the risk that liability may be incurred by Indemnitors hereunder; (h) Any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any one or more of the Loan Documents; (i) Any lack of commercial reasonableness in dealing with the collateral for the Loan; (j) Any deficiencies in the collateral for the Loan or any deficiency in the ability of Lender to collect or to obtain performance from any Persons now or hereafter liable for the payment and performance of any obligation hereby guaranteed; (k) An assertion or claim that the automatic stay provided by 11 U.S.C. Section 362 (arising upon the voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding of Borrower) or any other stay provided under any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, shall operate or be interpreted to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any of its rights, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, which Lender may have against any Indemnitor or the collateral for the Loan; (l) Any modifications of the Loan Documents or any obligation of Borrower relating to the Loan by operation of law or by action of any court, whether pursuant to the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, or otherwise; (m) Any action, occurrence, event or matter consented to by Indemnitors under Section 8(j) hereof, under any other provision hereof, or otherwise; and (n) the failure of any representation and/or warranties made by Borrower, Indemnitor or any other party to be true, complete or correct when given, or at any time thereafter. Indemnitors covenant and agree that upon the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding by or against any Borrower, neither such Indemnitor shall seek a supplemental stay or otherwise pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 105 or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law, or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any rights of Lender against such Indemnitor by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise. 9 8. GENERAL PROVISIONS. (a) Fully Recourse. Notwithstanding any provision of any other Loan Document to the contrary, all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement are recourse obligations of Indemnitors and not restricted by any limitation on personal liability. (b) Right to Indemnification Not Affected by Knowledge. An Indemnified Party's right to defense, indemnification, payment of Costs or other rights and remedies pursuant to this Agreement shall not be diminished or affected in any way by any investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party or other knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by such Indemnified Party through any means at any time. (c) Reliance. Indemnitors hereby acknowledge that Lender would not make the Loan without being able to rely upon the covenants and obligations of Indemnitors set forth herein. Accordingly, Indemnitors intentionally and unconditionally enter into this Agreement. (d) Obligations Unsecured. Indemnitors acknowledge that even though the representations, warranties and covenants of Indemnitors contained herein may be identical or substantially similar to those of Borrower set forth in the Security Instrument, the obligations of Indemnitors hereunder are independent obligations which are not secured by the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents. The Indemnitors further acknowledge that it is the intent of Lender to create separate obligations of Indemnitors hereunder which can be enforced against Indemnitors without regard to the existence of the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents or the liens or security interests created therein. (e) Survival. This Agreement shall be deemed to be continuing in nature, remain in full force and effect and survive indefinitely, notwithstanding the exercise of any remedy by Lender under the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof, even if, as a part of such remedy, the Loan is paid or satisfied in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the obligations and liabilities of Indemnitors under this Agreement shall survive following payment in full of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents for a period equal to the lesser of (x) five (5) years, or (y) if Borrowers deliver Phase I environmental reports for each of the Properties to Lender, acceptable to Lender in all respects, and which Lender determines in its sole discretion demonstrates that no condition exists which may cause any of the liabilities of Indemnitors to arise after delivery thereof, two (2) years following the delivery of such Phase I environmental reports, provided, however, in the event that (a) any obligations or liabilities of the Indemnitors under this Agreement shall have arisen from any Hazardous Material which existed on, in, under or affecting the Property prior to the expiration of such period or (b) if, prior to payment in full of the Loan, Lender shall have exercised any rights or remedies after an Event of Default or any of the Loan Documents shall have been modified or amended or any provision thereof waived pursuant to any workout or restructuring of the Loan (and if, as a consequence thereof, at any time after the expiration of the survival period specified above, Lender shall be unable to avail itself of any exemption from liability available to lenders under any applicable Environmental Law or shall be required to defend any claim or action relating to any Hazardous Material), then in any such event the foregoing survival period shall not apply and the obligations and liabilities of Indemnitors hereunder shall survive. 10 (f) Subordination; No Recourse Against Lender. Obligor hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter owed to Obligor to all indebtedness of Borrower to Lender. Obligor shall not demand or accept any payment of principal or interest from Borrower, shall not claim any offset or other reduction of Obligor's obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness and shall not take any action to obtain any of the collateral for the Loan. Further, Indemnitors shall not have any right of recourse against any Indemnified Party by reason of any action such Indemnified Party may take or omit to take under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents. (g) Reservation of Rights. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent or in any way diminish or interfere with any rights or remedies, including, without limitation, the right to cost recovery or contribution, which any Indemnified Party may have against either Indemnitor or any other party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (codified at Title 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq.), as it may be amended from time to time ("CERCLA"), or any other applicable Federal, state or local laws, all such rights being hereby expressly reserved. (h) Financial Statements. Each Indemnitor hereby agrees to furnish Lender such financial statements and other information as is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Loan Agreement. (i) Nature of Obligations. The obligations of Indemnitors hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrower under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any default hereunder, a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Indemnitors whether or not Indemnitors are the alter ego of Borrower and whether or not Borrower is joined therein or a separate action or actions are brought against Borrower. Lender's rights hereunder shall not be exhausted until all of the obligations of Indemnitor hereunder have been fully paid and performed. (j) No Limitation on Liability. Indemnitors hereby consent and agree that any of the following may occur from time to time, without notice or consideration to, or consent of, Indemnitors, and the liability of Indemnitors hereunder shall remain unconditional and absolute and shall in no way be impaired or limited by reason thereof: (i) any extension of time for performance required by any of the Loan Documents or otherwise granted by Lender or any extension or renewal of the Note; (ii) any sale, assignment or foreclosure of the Note, the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents or any sale or transfer of the Property, except as set forth in Section 2(b); (iii) any change in the composition of Borrower, including, without limitation, the voluntary or involuntary withdrawal or removal of Indemnitors from any current or future position of ownership, management or control of Borrower; (iv) the release of Borrower or of any other Person from performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents by operation of law, Lender's voluntary act or otherwise; 11 (v) the release or substitution in whole or in part of any security for the Loan; (vi) Lender's failure to record the Security Instrument or to file any financing statement (or Lender's improper recording or filing thereof) or to otherwise perfect, protect, secure or insure any lien or security interest given as security for the Loan; (vii) the modification of the terms of any one or more of the Loan Documents; (viii) subject to Section 2(b) hereof, the exercise by Mezzanine Lender of any remedies made available to Mezzanine Lender pursuant to the terms of the Mezzanine Loan Documents, including, without limitation, foreclosure or similar remedies under any pledge agreement encumbering Mezzanine Borrower's interest in General Partner, Member or any Borrower; or (ix) the taking or failure to take any action of any type whatsoever. No such action which Lender shall take or fail to take in connection with the Loan Documents or any collateral for the Loan, nor any course of dealing with Borrower or any other Person, shall limit, impair or release Indemnitor's obligations hereunder, affect this Agreement in any way or afford Indemnitors any recourse against any Indemnified Party. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to require any Indemnified Party to take or refrain from taking any action referred to herein. (k) Representations. Each Indemnitor represents and warrants that there is no bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against it. (l) Professionals' Fees. In the event it is necessary for any Indemnified Party to retain the services of an attorney or any other consultants in order to enforce this Agreement, or any portion hereof, Indemnitors agree to pay to such Indemnified Party any and all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and consultants' fees and disbursements, incurred by such Indemnified Party as a result thereof and all such amounts shall be included in Costs. (m) Successive Actions. A separate right of action hereunder shall arise each time an Indemnified Party acquires knowledge of any matter indemnified or guaranteed by Indemnitors hereunder. Separate and successive actions may be brought hereunder to enforce any of the provisions hereof at any time and from time to time and no action hereunder shall preclude any subsequent action. (n) No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of Lender in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and no course of dealing between Borrower and Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive 12 of any rights or remedies provided by law. The giving of notice to or demand on Borrower which notice or demand is not required hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall not entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights, remedies, powers or privileges of Lender in any circumstances not requiring notice or demand. (o) Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder or under the Note shall be given in the manner set forth in Section 14.5 of the Loan Agreement, to Lender and Borrower at such party's address set forth in Section 14.5 of the Loan Agreement and to each Obligor at its address set forth above, or such other address as Indemnitors or Lender shall hereafter specify by not less than ten (10) days prior written notice as provided herein; provided, however, that notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the contrary, such notice of change of address shall be deemed given only upon actual receipt thereof. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed addresses of which no notice was given as herein required shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice, demand, statement, request or consent. (p) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the applicable laws of the United States of America.

Prior to an Event of Default, to the extent sufficient funds are contained in the Lock Box Account, or an Account or Sub-Account thereof, to make the required monthly payments to the applicable Reserves and Sub-Account on such Payment Date, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have satisfied their 25 obligations to make such payments.

(B) PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATION DUE. If any prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan shall occur prior to May 1 2009, on account of acceleration of the Loan (whether or not due to an Event of Default), or otherwise, then except only as expressly provided in this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the Borrowers shall pay the Prepayment Consideration on the amount prepaid to Lender together with such prepayment, as liquidated damages and compensation for costs incurred, and in addition to all other amounts due and owing to Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Prepayment Consideration will be due as to a prepayment of the Loan in connection with (i) application of insurance or condemnation proceeds required by Lender pursuant to this Loan Agreement or the Mortgages in the absence of an Event of Default, (ii) Scheduled Mortgage Principal Payments.

SECTION 2.7 OUTSTANDING BALANCE.

The Borrower Parties agree 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 Prepayment Consideration are reasonable, taking into consideration the circumstances known to the parties at this time, and (iii) such Default Rate and late charges and Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with enforcement of Lender's rights under the Loan Documents shall be due and payable as provided herein, and (iv) such interest at the Default Rate, late charges, Prepayment Consideration, and the obligation to pay Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees and other enforcement costs do not, individually or collectively, constitute a penalty.

If such Borrower fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to Lender, Lender or any of its officers or employees is irrevocably authorized to make the same. Each Borrower agrees that until the Loan and Crossed Loans have been paid in full (in cash) and satisfied, no Borrower will assign or transfer to any individual or entity (other than Lender) any claim such Borrower has or may have against any Crossed Obligor. (E) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(G), to the extent that any collection upon any of the Loan or the Crossed Loans is made by Lender from one of the Crossed Borrowers or the Crossed Properties or other assets of the Crossed Borrowers (a "CROSSED LOANS COLLECTION") which, taking into account all other Crossed Loans Collections then previously or concurrently made by such Crossed Borrower, exceeds the amount which otherwise would have been collected from such Crossed Borrower if each Borrower and each Crossed Borrower had paid the portion of the Loan and Crossed Loans satisfied by such Crossed Loans Collection in the same proportion as such Crossed Borrower's Allocable Amount (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Crossed Loans Collection) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each Borrower and each Crossed Borrower as determined immediately prior to the making of 29 such Crossed Loans Collection, then, following payment in full in cash of the entire Loan and Crossed Loans, such Crossed Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each Borrower and each of the other Crossed Borrowers for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Crossed Loans Collection. As of any date of determination, the "ALLOCABLE AMOUNT" of any Borrower or any Crossed Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim which could then be recovered from such Borrower or Crossed Borrower under the Loan Documents and Crossed Loan Documents without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law. The foregoing provision shall be for the benefit of each of the Crossed Borrowers and Lender, but shall be subject to modification as provided in Section 2.12(G) below and to amendment by agreement of the Borrowers and Lender, in each case without necessity of any agreement, acknowledgment or approval of any Crossed Borrower or any notice to any Crossed Borrower. Section 2.12(E) of each of the Crossed Loan Agreements contains provisions similar to this Section 2.12(E) for the benefit of Lender and (subject to the terms thereof) the Crossed Borrowers. This Section 2.12(E) and Section 2.12(E) of each of the Crossed Loan Agreements are intended only to define the relative rights of the Borrowers and Crossed Borrowers, and nothing set forth in this Section 2.12(E) or in Section 2.12(E) of each of the Crossed Loan Agreements is intended to or shall impair the liens and security interests of the Loan Documents and the Crossed Loan Documents or the obligations of the Borrowers and the Crossed Borrowers thereunder. Each Borrower acknowledges that the rights of contribution and indemnification under this Section 2.12(E) and under Section 2.12(E) of the Crossed Loan Agreements constitute assets of the Borrowers or Crossed Borrowers to which such contribution and indemnification is owing, and any such right of contribution and indemnification owing to any Borrower under Section 2.12(E) of any of the Crossed Loan Agreements shall constitute additional Crossed Party Obligations for all purposes under this Section 2.12. (F) Each Borrower hereby consents and agrees to each of the following, and agrees that such Borrower's obligations under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Liens created under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents securing the Loan and the Crossed Loans shall not be released, diminished, impaired, reduced or adversely affected by any of the following, and waives any common law, equitable, statutory or other rights (including without limitation rights to notice) that such Borrower might otherwise have as a result of or in connection with any of the following: (i) Any renewal, extension, increase, modification, alteration or rearrangement of all or any part of the Crossed Loans, the Crossed Loan Documents, or other document, instrument, contract or understanding between the Crossed Borrowers and Lender, or any other parties, pertaining to the Crossed Loans or any failure of Lender to notify such Borrower of any such action. (ii) Any adjustment, indulgence, forbearance or compromise that might be granted or given by Lender to the Crossed Borrowers. 30 (iii) The insolvency, bankruptcy, arrangement, adjustment, composition, liquidation, disability, dissolution or lack of power of any of the Crossed Borrowers or any other party at any time liable for the payment of all or part of the Crossed Loans; or any dissolution of any of the Crossed Borrowers, or any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of any of the Crossed Borrowers, or any changes in the shareholders, partners or members of any of the Crossed Borrowers; or any reorganization of any of the Crossed Borrowers. (iv) The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of all or any part of the Crossed Loans, or any document or agreement executed in connection therewith, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation the fact that (A) the Crossed Loans, or any part thereof, exceeds the amount permitted by law, (B) the act of creating the Crossed Loans or any part thereof is ultra vires, (C) the officers or representatives executing the Crossed Loan Documents or otherwise creating the Crossed Loans acted in excess of their authority, (D) the Crossed Loans violate applicable usury laws, (E) the Crossed Borrowers have valid defenses, claims or offsets (whether at law, in equity or by agreement) which render the Crossed Loans wholly or partially uncollectible from the Crossed Borrowers, (F) the creation, performance or repayment of the Crossed Loans (or the execution, delivery and performance of any document or instrument representing part of the Crossed Loans or executed in connection with the Crossed Loans, or given to secure the repayment of the Crossed Loans) is illegal, uncollectible or unenforceable, or (G) any of the Crossed Loan Documents have been forged or otherwise are irregular or not genuine or authentic, it being agreed that each Borrower shall remain liable hereon regardless of whether the Crossed Borrowers or any other person be found not liable on the Crossed Loans or any part thereof for any reason. (v) Any full or partial release of the liability of the Crossed Borrowers on the Crossed Loans, or any part thereof, or of any co-guarantors, or any other person or entity now or hereafter liable, whether directly or indirectly, jointly, severally, or jointly and severally, to pay, perform, guarantee or assure the payment of the Crossed Loans, or any part thereof, it being recognized, acknowledged and agreed by each Borrower that such Borrower has not been induced to enter into this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the basis of a contemplation, belief, understanding or agreement that other parties will be liable to pay or perform the Loan or such Borrower's obligations under the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or that Lender will look to other parties to pay or perform the Crossed Loans. (vi) The taking or accepting of any other security, collateral or guaranty, or other assurance of payment, for all or any part of the Crossed Loans. (vii) Any release, surrender, exchange, subordination, deterioration, waste, loss or impairment (including without limitation negligent, willful, unreasonable or unjustifiable impairment) of any collateral, property or security, at any time existing in connection with, or assuring or securing payment of, all or any part of the Crossed Loans. (viii) The failure of or refusal of Lender or any other party acting on behalf of Lender to exercise diligence or reasonable care in the preservation, protection, enforcement, sale or other handling or treatment of all or any part of such collateral, property or security, including but not limited to any neglect, delay, omission, failure or refusal of Lender (A) to take or prosecute any action for the collection of any of the Crossed Loans, (B) to foreclose, or initiate 31 any action to foreclose, or, once commenced, prosecute to completion any action to foreclose upon any security therefor, or (C) to take or prosecute any action in connection with any instrument or agreement evidencing or securing all or any part of the Crossed Loans. (ix) The fact that any collateral, security, security interest or lien contemplated or intended to be given, created or granted as security for the repayment of the Crossed Loans, or any part thereof, shall not be properly perfected or created, or shall prove to be unenforceable or subordinate to any other security interest or lien, it being recognized and agreed by each Borrower that it is not entering into this Loan Agreement in reliance on, or in contemplation of the benefits of, the validity, enforceability, collectibility or value of any of the collateral for the Crossed Loans. (x) Any payment by any of the Crossed Borrowers to Lender is held to constitute a preference under bankruptcy laws, or for any reason Lender is required to refund such payment or pay such amount to any of the Crossed Borrowers or someone else. (xi) Any other action taken or omitted to be taken with respect to the Crossed Loan Documents, the Crossed Loans, or the security and collateral therefor. (G) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Loan Agreement, Lender may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, from time to time (one or more times) deliver written notice to the Borrowers stating that this Loan Agreement, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents shall no longer secure one or more (at Lender's sole election) of the Crossed Loans (each a "CROSS RELEASE NOTICe"), whereupon (i) this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall no longer secure any of the Crossed Loans for which a Cross Release Notice is given (any such Crossed Loan, an "EXCLUDED LOAN", and, collectively, the "EXCLUDED LOAN(S)"; each Crossed Borrower which is the borrower with respect to an Excluded Loan is herein referred to as an "EXCLUDED BORROWER", and the Crossed Loan Agreement, Crossed Mortgages, Cross Side Agreement and other Crossed Loan Documents executed and delivered by the Excluded Borrowers with respect to any Excluded Loan are herein referred to as the "EXCLUDED LOAN AGREEMENT", "EXCLUDED MORTGAGES", "EXCLUDED SIDE AGREEMENT" and "EXCLUDED LOAN DOCUMENTS", respectively, and each Crossed Property encumbered by the Excluded Loan Documents is herein referred to as an "EXCLUDED Property"), (ii) each Cross Guaranty of the Loan executed by each Excluded Borrower, together with each Cross Guaranty of an Excluded Loan executed by the Borrowers (herein collectively referred to as the "EXCLUDED GUARANTIES") shall be deemed automatically terminated and of no further force or effect, (iii) each reference herein and in the other Loan Documents to the "Crossed Loans" shall be deemed to exclude the Excluded Loans, (iv) each reference herein and in the other Loan Documents to the "Crossed Loan Agreements", "Crossed Mortgages", "Crossed Loan Documents", "Crossed Properties", "Cross Side Agreements" and "Cross Guaranties" shall be deemed to exclude the Excluded Loan Agreement, the Excluded Mortgages, the Excluded Loan Documents, the Excluded Property, the Excluded Side Agreements and the Excluded Guaranties, respectively, (v) each reference herein and in the other Loan Documents to the "Crossed Borrowers" and the "Crossed Obligors" shall be deemed to exclude each Excluded Borrower, (vi) the provisions of Section 2.12(E) of this Loan Agreement shall not apply to any Crossed Loans Collection from any Excluded Borrower or its Excluded Property and the Borrowers shall have no obligation or liability on account thereof; and (vii) Borrowers shall no longer be 32 beneficiaries of the covenants and agreements set forth in Section 2.12(E) of any Excluded Loan Agreement, and the Borrowers shall have no rights or claims on account of any contribution or indemnification obligations of any Excluded Borrower under Section 2.12(E) of any Excluded Loan Agreement.

The Borrowers will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect their existence as a limited partnership, limited liability company, or corporation, as the case may be, and all rights and franchises material to its business, including their qualification to do business in each state where it is required by law to so qualify. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Borrower and, to the extent required by applicable law, General Partner and Member, shall at all times be qualified to do business in each of the states where the Properties are located. SECTION 5.3 PAYMENT OF IMPOSITIONS AND CLAIMS. (A) Except for those matters being contested pursuant to clause (B) below, the Borrowers will pay (i) all Impositions; (ii) all claims (including claims for labor, services, materials and supplies) for sums that have become due and payable and that by law have or may become a Lien upon any of its properties or assets (hereinafter referred to as the "CLAIMS"); and (iii) all federal, state and local income taxes, sales taxes, excise taxes and all other taxes and assessments of the Borrowers on their business, income or assets; in each instance before any penalty or fine is incurred with respect thereto. (B) The Borrowers shall not be required to pay, discharge or remove any Imposition or Claim relating to a Property so long as the Borrowers contest in good faith such Imposition, Claim or the validity, applicability or amount thereof by an appropriate legal proceeding which operates to prevent the collection of such amounts and the sale of the applicable Property or any portion thereof, and so long as: (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) prior to the date on which such Imposition or Claim would otherwise have become delinquent, the Borrowers shall have given Lender prior written notice of their intent to contest said Imposition or Claim; (iii) prior to the date on which such Imposition or Claim would otherwise have become delinquent, the Borrowers shall have deposited with Lender (or with a court of competent jurisdiction or other appropriate body reasonably approved by Lender) such additional amounts as are necessary to keep on deposit at all times, an amount by way of cash, Dollar Equivalents, or a Letter of Credit, equal to at least one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) (or such higher amount as may be required by applicable law) of the total of (x) the balance of such Imposition or Claim then remaining unpaid, and (y) all interest, penalties, costs 51 and charges accrued or accumulated thereon; (iv) no risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of any interest in the applicable Property or any part thereof arises, in Lender's reasonable judgment, during the pendency of such contest; (v) such contest does not, in Lender's reasonable determination, have a Material Adverse Effect; and (vi) such contest is based on bona fide, material, and reasonable claims or defenses. Any such contest shall be prosecuted with due diligence, and the Borrowers shall promptly pay the amount of such Imposition or Claim as finally determined, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith. Lender shall have full power and authority, but no obligation, to apply any amount deposited with Lender under this subsection to the payment of any unpaid Imposition or Claim to prevent the sale or forfeiture of the applicable Property for non-payment thereof, if Lender reasonably believes that such sale or forfeiture is threatened. Any surplus retained by Lender after payment of the Imposition or Claim for which a deposit was made shall be promptly repaid to the Borrowers unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in which case said surplus may be retained by Lender to be applied to the Obligations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the contrary, the Borrowers shall pay any Imposition or Claim which they might otherwise be entitled to contest if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, or if, in the reasonable determination of Lender, the applicable Property is in danger of being forfeited or foreclosed. If the Borrowers refuse to pay any such Imposition or Claim, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment and the Borrowers shall reimburse Lender on demand for all such advances. SECTION 5.4 MAINTENANCE OF INSURANCE. The Borrowers will continuously maintain the following described policies of insurance on each of the respective Properties without cost to Lender (the "INSURANCE POLICIES"): (i) Property insurance against loss and damage by all risks of physical loss or damage, including fire, sprinkler leakage, windstorm, hurricane, terrorism, and other risks covered by the so-called extended coverage endorsement covering the Improvements and personal property in amounts not less than the full insurable replacement value of all Improvements (less building foundations and footings) and personal property from time to time on the Properties and without sublimits, and bearing a replacement cost agreed-amount endorsement; (ii) Commercial general liability insurance, including death, bodily injury, innkeeper legal liability and broad form property damage coverage with a combined single limit in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) in the aggregate for any policy year; (iii) If any of the Properties are in an area prone to geological phenomena, including, but not limited to, sinkholes, mine subsidence or earthquakes, insurance covering such risks in an amount equal to 100% of the full replacement cost of all improvements (without any deductions for depreciation) and with a maximum permissible deductible equal to the lesser of $25,000 or 10% of the face value of the policy; (iv) For each Property located in whole or in part in a federally designated "special flood hazard area", flood insurance in the maximum available amount; 52 (v) An umbrella excess liability policy with a limit of not less than Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) over primary insurance, which policy shall include coverage for so-called assumed and contractual liability coverage and automobile liability coverage, and coverage for safeguarding of personalty and shall also include such additional coverages and insured risks which are acceptable to Lender; (vi) Business interruption and/or rent loss insurance with an aggregate limit equal to at least the gross income from the Properties for an indemnity period commencing on the date of such casualty and ending at least six (6) months after completion of the Restoration (such amount being adjusted annually); (vii) Crime protection insurance covering all employees with access to funds and located in Guarantor's corporate offices with a limit of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) and with the same coverages and deductibles as currently in place at the Properties; (viii) Steam boiler, machinery and pressurized vessel insurance insuring against breakdown or explosion of such equipment on a replacement cost value basis, which shall not contain any exclusions for testing procedures; (ix) Worker's Compensation Insurance in statutory amounts, if any, at all times; (x) Insurance against loss or damage from (A) leakage of sprinkler systems and (B) explosion of steam boilers, air conditioning equipment, high pressure piping, machinery and equipment, pressure vessels or similar apparatus now or hereafter installed in the Improvements (without exclusion for explosions), in an amount at least equal to the Aggregate Allocated Loan Amount; (xi) During any period of construction, repair or restoration, builder's "all risk" insurance in an amount equal to not less than the full insurable value of the Properties (excluding building foundations and footings) against such risks (including, without limitation, fire and extended coverage and collapse of the Improvements to agreed limits) as Lender may reasonably request; (xii) If the Properties are or become a "non-conforming use" under applicable zoning and building ordinances, or other requirements of the applicable Governmental Authority, law or ordinance coverage to compensate for the cost of demolition and the increased cost of construction, if available; (xiii) If the Borrowers, Manager or any of their respective Affiliates holds a liquor license for the Properties, liquor liability insurance (including "dram shop" liability) in an amount not less than $1,000,000 for each common cause and $3,000,000 in the aggregate; provided that if such liquor license is held by any tenant under a Lease, the Borrowers shall cause such tenant to cause liquor liability insurance in an amount not less than the limits set forth above to be carried in such tenant's name, and shall include the Borrowers and Lender as additional insureds thereunder; 53 (xiv) If reasonably required by Lender as a result of the release, disposal or existence of any Hazardous Materials on or about any Property after the date hereof (or as to which Lender obtains knowledge after the date hereof) or if such insurance is then customarily required by institutional lenders for securitized loans, environmental insurance, including mold coverage, in form and with coverages (including business interruption coverage) reasonably satisfactory to Lender; provided, however, without limiting or affecting Lender's right to require such environmental insurance with respect to any other Properties after the date hereof, Lender acknowledges that, as of the date hereof, environmental insurance shall only be required with respect to the Property known as the Holiday Inn, located at 363 Roberts Street, East Hartford, Connecticut; (xv) Fiduciary liability insurance and directors and officers liability insurance ("D&O INSURANCE") with coverages at levels in effect as of the Closing Date; (xvi) Insurance against acts of terrorism, or insurance policies without an exclusion for damages resulting from acts of terrorism on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policies required under subsection (i), (ii), (v) and (vi) above; (xvii) Such other insurance as may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender and which is then customarily required by institutional lenders for securitized loans secured by similar properties similarly situated, against other insurable hazards, including, but not limited to, malicious mischief, vandalism, windstorm and or earthquake, due regard to be given to the size and type of the Properties, Improvements, fixtures and equipment and their location, construction and use. Additionally, the Borrowers shall carry such insurance coverage as Lender may from time to time require if the failure to carry such insurance would result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of any class of securities issued in connection with a Securitization. All Insurance Policies shall be in content (including, without limitation, endorsements or exclusions, if any), form, and amounts, and issued by companies, satisfactory to Lender from time to time and shall name Lender and its successors and assignees as their interests may appear as (x) an "additional insured" for each of the liability policies under this Section 5.4 hereof, and (y) a "mortgagee" for each of the property and casualty policies under this Section hereof, and shall (except for Worker's Compensation Insurance) contain a waiver of subrogation clause reasonably acceptable to Lender. Other than with respect to D&O Insurance, an insurance company shall not be satisfactory unless such insurance company (a) is licensed or authorized to issue insurance in the State where the applicable Property is located and (b) has a claims paying ability rating by the Rating Agencies of AA- (or its equivalent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a carrier which does not meet the foregoing ratings requirement shall nevertheless be deemed acceptable hereunder provided that such carrier is reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Borrowers shall obtain and deliver to Lender a Rating Confirmation with respect to such carrier from each of the Rating Agencies, provided, however, that: (a) if any insurance coverage required under this Section 5.4 is maintained by a syndicate of insurers, the preceding ratings requirements shall be deemed satisfied (without any required Rating Confirmation) as long as at least seventy five percent (75%) of the coverage (if there are four or fewer members of the syndicate) or at least sixty percent (60%) of the coverage (if there are five or more members of the syndicate) is maintained with carriers meeting the claims-paying ability ratings requirements 54 by S&P and Moody's (if applicable) set forth above and all carriers in such syndicate have a claims-paying ability rating by S&P of not less than "BBB" and by Moody's of not less than "Baa2" (to the extent rated by Moody's); (b) Lender hereby approves Zurich Insurance Company as the carrier providing the insurance described in clause (ii) above, so long as such carrier maintains a claims paying ability of not less than A- by S&P (and the equivalent from each of the other Rating Agencies to the extent rated thereby) and (c) until the expiration of the current term of the applicable policies, Lender hereby approves Landmark American as the carrier providing the insurance described in clauses (i), (iv) and (vi) above (covering losses over the first $25,000,000 of coverage), so long as thereafter such carrier or any other carrier providing the above coverages maintains a claims paying ability of not less than A by S&P (and the equivalent from each of the other Rating Agencies to the extent rated thereby). All Insurance Policies under Sections 5.4 (i), (iv), (vi), (vii), (x), (xi) and (xii) hereof shall contain a Non-Contributory Standard mortgagee clause and a mortgagee's Loss Payable Endorsement (Form 438 BFU NS), or their equivalents (such endorsements shall entitle Lender to collect any and all proceeds payable under all such insurance, with the insurance company waiving any claim or defense against Lender for premium payment, deductible, self-insured retention or claims reporting provisions). All Insurance Policies shall provide that the coverage shall not be modified without (30) days' advance written notice to Lender and shall provide that no claims shall be paid thereunder to a Person other than Lender without ten (10) days' advance written notice to Lender. The Borrowers may obtain any insurance required by this Section through blanket policies; provided, however, that such blanket policies shall separately set forth the amount of insurance in force with respect to the Properties (which shall not be reduced by reason of events occurring on property other than the Properties) and shall afford all the protections to Lender as are required under this Section. Except as may be expressly provided above, all policies of insurance required hereunder shall contain no annual aggregate limit of liability, other than with respect to liability insurance. If a blanket policy is issued, a certified copy of said policy shall be furnished, together with a certificate indicating that Lender is an additional insured (and, if applicable, loss payee) under such policy in the designated amount. The Borrowers will deliver duplicate originals of all Insurance Policies, premium prepaid through the current expiration dates of such Insurance Policies, to Lender and, in case of Insurance Policies about to expire, the Borrowers will deliver duplicate originals of replacement policies satisfying the requirements hereof to Lender not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of expiration; provided, however, if such replacement policy is not yet available, the Borrowers shall provide Lender with an insurance certificate executed by the insurer or its authorized agent evidencing that the insurance required hereunder is being maintained under such policy, which certificate shall be acceptable to Lender on an interim basis until the duplicate original of the policy is available. The Borrowers shall furnish Lender receipts for the payment of premiums on such insurance policies or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender in the event that such premiums have not been paid by Lender pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The requirements of this Section 5.4 shall apply to any separate policies of insurance taken out by the Borrowers concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with the Insurance Policies. Losses shall be payable to Lender notwithstanding (1) any act, failure to act or negligence of the Borrowers or their agents or employees, Lender or any other insured party which might, absent such agreement, result in a forfeiture or all or part of such insurance payment, other than the willful misconduct of Lender knowingly in violation of the conditions of such policy, (2) the occupation or use of the Properties or any part thereof for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the 55 terms of such policy, (3) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken pursuant to this Loan Agreement or (4) any change in title to or ownership of the Properties or any part thereof. The property insurance and the boiler and machinery insurance described in Sections 5.4(i) and (x) hereof shall include "underground hazards" coverage; "time element" coverage by which Lender shall be assured payment of all amounts due under the Note, this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents; "extra expense" (i.e., soft costs), clean-up, transit and ordinary payroll coverage; and "expediting expense" coverage to facilitate rapid repair or restoration of the Properties. The Insurance Policies shall not contain any deductible in excess of $250,000. SECTION 5.5 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPERTIES; CASUALTY. (A) The Borrowers will operate and maintain the Properties as is necessary to maintain hotel standards at least as high as those that currently apply to each Property, subject to ordinary wear and tear, as reasonably determined by the Borrowers, and otherwise in compliance with the standards under the applicable Franchise Agreement and shall maintain or cause to be maintained in good repair, working order and condition all material property used in the business of each Borrower, including the applicable Property, and will make or cause to be made all appropriate repairs, renewals and replacements thereof. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Borrower will operate and maintain its Property substantially in accordance with the applicable Operating Budget and the CapEx/FF&E Budget. All work required or permitted under this Loan Agreement shall be performed in a workmanlike manner and in compliance with all applicable laws. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers may, without Lender's consent, perform alterations to the Properties which do not constitute a Material Alteration. The Borrowers shall not perform any Material Alteration without Lender's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, withhold consent to any Material Alteration which is likely to result in a decrease of Net Operating Income (taking into consideration all Material Alterations being undertaken at the Properties at such time) by 5% or more below that which was in effect prior to the commencement of the first such Material Alteration being undertaken at the time of determination for a period of sixty (60) days or longer; provided, further, however, the Borrowers may perform a Material Alteration without Lender's consent if (i) the delay caused by obtaining Lender's prior consent may result in injury or death at, or further destruction or deterioration of, the applicable Property, (ii) such Material Alteration is necessary to prevent the likelihood of injury or death at, or further destruction or deterioration of, the applicable Property, and (iii) the Borrowers deliver notice to Lender within two (2) Business Days of commencement of such Material Alteration together with such supporting documentation as Lender may require with respect to such Material Alteration. Lender may, as a condition to giving its consent to a Material Alteration, require that the Borrowers deliver to Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the Borrowers have cash available for payment of the cost of such Material Alteration or, if the Borrowers fail to deliver such evidence, cash, Dollar Equivalents or a Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to 125% of the cost of such Material Alteration as reasonably estimated by Lender. Cash deposited by the Borrowers with Lender in connection with any Material Alteration pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be held by Lender in a Sub-Account of the Lock Box Account and disbursed to the Borrowers to pay for the cost of such Material Alteration as such work progresses subject to satisfaction of the 56 conditions for disbursement of amounts from the Capital Improvement Reserve under Section 6.5 (including the requirements set forth under Section 6.7). Upon completion of the Material Alteration, the Borrowers shall provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (i) the Material Alteration was constructed in accordance with all material applicable laws and substantially in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Lender (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) all contractors, subcontractors, materialmen and professionals who provided work, materials or services in connection with the Material Alteration have been paid in full and have delivered unconditional releases of lien and (iii) all material licenses necessary for the use, operation and occupancy of the Material Alteration (other than those which depend on the performance of tenant improvement work) have been issued. The Borrowers shall reimburse Lender upon demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees of any architect, engineer or other professional engaged by Lender) incurred by Lender in reviewing plans and specifications or in making any determinations necessary to implement the provisions of this Section 5.5(A). (B) In the event of casualty or loss at any of the Properties, the Borrowers shall give immediate 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 the Property as nearly as possible to the Pre-Existing Condition (a "RESTORATION"). The Borrowers hereby authorize and empower Lender as attorney-in-fact for the Borrowers (jointly with the Borrowers unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), or any of them, to make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise any claim under insurance policies, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from such insurance policies, to collect and receive insurance proceeds, and to deduct therefrom Lender's expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds; provided however, that nothing contained in this Section shall require Lender to incur any expense or take any action hereunder. The Borrowers further authorize Lender, at Lender's option, (i) to hold the balance of such proceeds to be used to reimburse the Borrowers for the cost of Restoration of any of the Properties or (ii) subject to Subsection 5.5(C), to apply such proceeds to payment of the Obligations whether or not then due, in any order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a casualty where the loss does not exceed the Restoration Threshold, the Borrowers may settle and adjust such claim; provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (b) such adjustment is carried out in a commercially reasonable and timely manner. (C) Lender shall not exercise Lender's option to apply insurance proceeds to payment of the Obligations if all of the following conditions are met: (i) no Event of Default then exists; (ii) Lender reasonably determines that there will be sufficient funds to complete the Restoration of the Property to at least substantially the Pre-Existing Condition and to timely make all payments due under the Loan Documents during the Restoration of the affected Property; (iii) Lender reasonably determines that the Net Operating Income of the Properties (including rental income or business interruption insurance) will be sufficient to pay principal and interest on the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan and Operating Revenues of the Properties, after the Restoration thereof to the Pre-Existing Condition, will be sufficient to meet all Operating Expenses, payments for Reserves and payments of principal and interest under the Note and the Mezzanine Loan; (iv) Lender determines that the Restoration of the affected Property to the Pre-Existing Condition will be completed not later than five (5) months prior to the expiration of any business interruption insurance, but in no event later than six (6) months prior to the Maturity 57 Date; (v) less than fifty percent (50%) of the total floor area of the Improvements has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such fire or other casualty; and (vi) such Property can be restored and repaired substantially to the condition it was in immediately prior to such casualty and in compliance with all applicable zoning, building and other laws and codes (the "PRE-EXISTING CONDITION"). If Lender elects to apply insurance proceeds to payment of the Obligations, such application shall be made on the Payment Date immediately following such election in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement. (D) If Lender elects or is obligated to make the insurance proceeds available for the Restoration of any Property and Lender is holding such proceeds, the Borrowers agree that, if at any time during the Restoration, the cost of completing such Restoration, as reasonably determined by Lender, exceeds the undisbursed insurance proceeds, the Borrowers shall, within ten (10) Business Days following the written demand by Lender, deposit the amount of such excess with Lender, and Lender shall first disburse such deposit to pay for the costs of such Restoration on the same terms and conditions as the insurance proceeds are disbursed. If the Borrowers deposit such excess with Lender and if, after completion of the Restoration, any funds remain from the combination of insurance proceeds and the funds so deposited with Lender by the Borrowers, and if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Lender shall promptly disburse to the Borrowers such remaining funds. (E) Lender may, at Lender's option, condition disbursement of any insurance proceeds on Lender's approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) of plans and specifications of an independent architect licensed in the state where the Property is located and reasonably satisfactory to Lender (the "ARCHITECT"), any and all contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration and the contracts under which they have been engaged, contractor's cost estimates, architect's certificates, waivers of liens, sworn statements of mechanics and materialmen and such other evidence of costs, percentage completion of construction, application of payments, and satisfaction of liens as Lender may reasonably require. Lender shall not be obligated to disburse insurance proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month. If insurance proceeds are applied to the payment of the Obligations and provided no Event of Default exists, any such application of proceeds to principal shall be without any Prepayment Consideration and 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. If Lender elects to apply all of such insurance proceeds toward the repayment of the Obligations, the Borrowers shall (subject to compliance with clauses (A), (B), (D) and (F) of Section 11.4) be entitled to obtain from Lender a Property Release (without representation or warranty) of the applicable Property from the Lien of the Mortgage relating to such Property (in which event the Borrowers shall not be obligated to restore the applicable Property pursuant to Section 5.5(B) above) provided that the Borrowers pay to Lender the amount, if any, by which the Release Price for such Property exceeds the insurance proceeds received by Lender and applied to repayment of the Obligations. If any proceeds are applied to reduce the Obligations under this Section 5.5, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Prepayment Consideration shall be due and payable in connection with such application. Any amount of insurance proceeds remaining in Lender's possession after full and final payment and discharge of all Obligations shall be refunded to, or as directed by, the Borrowers or otherwise paid in accordance with applicable law. If the Property is sold at foreclosure or if Lender acquires title to the Property, Lender shall have all of the right, title and 58 interest of the applicable Borrower in and to any insurance policies and unearned premiums thereon and in and to the proceeds resulting from any damage to such Property prior to such sale or acquisition. (F) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of insurance proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Architect, less a retainage equal to the lesser of (x) the actual retainage required pursuant to the permitted contract, or (y) ten percent (10%) of such costs incurred until the Restoration has been completed. The retainage shall in no event be less than the amount actually held back by the Borrowers from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The retainage shall not be released until the Architect certifies to Lender, or, if no Architect has been retained by Lender, Lender is reasonably satisfied, that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.5 and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental authorities, and Lender receives final lien waivers and such other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the retainage. SECTION 5.6 INSPECTION. Each Borrower shall permit any authorized representatives designated by Lender to visit and inspect during normal business hours its Property and its business, including its financial and accounting records, and to make copies and take extracts therefrom and to discuss its affairs, finances and business with its officers and independent public accountants (with such Borrower's representative(s) present), at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably requested. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall provide advance written notice of at least three (3) Business Days prior to visiting or inspecting any Property or such Borrower's offices. SECTION 5.7 O&M PLAN. The applicable Borrowers shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Lender operations and maintenance programs (the "O&M PLANS") with respect to suspected asbestos, asbestos-containing materials, and/or mold located in certain Properties as set forth on Schedule 6.6, which conditions were disclosed in the applicable Environmental Reports for such Properties. Each applicable Borrower shall at all times implement and carry out the O&M Plan in accordance with its terms. Lender's requirement that the applicable Borrowers develop and comply with the O&M Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver or modification of any covenants or agreements of the Borrowers or Guarantor with respect to Hazardous Material or Environmental Laws as set forth in the Environmental Indemnity. SECTION 5.8 RESERVED. SECTION 5.9 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS. The Borrowers will (A) comply with the requirements of all present and future applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any governmental authority in all jurisdictions in which it is now doing business or may hereafter be doing business, other than those laws, rules, regulations and orders the noncompliance with which would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the operation or value of any Property, (B) maintain all licenses and permits now held or hereafter acquired by any Borrower, the loss, suspension, or revocation of which, or failure to renew, could have a material adverse effect on the operation or 59 value of any Property and (C) perform, observe, comply and fulfill all of its material obligations, covenants and conditions contained in any Contractual Obligation. SECTION 5.10 FURTHER ASSURANCES. The Borrowers shall, from time to time, execute and/or deliver such documents, instruments, agreements, financing statements, and perform such acts as Lender at any time may reasonably request to evidence, preserve and/or protect the Collateral at any time securing or intended to secure the Obligations and/or to better and more effectively carry out the purposes of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. SECTION 5.11 PERFORMANCE OF AGREEMENTS AND LEASES. Each Primary Borrower Party shall duly and punctually perform, observe and comply in all material respects with all of the terms, provisions, conditions, covenants and agreements on its part to be performed, observed and complied with (i) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, (ii) under all Material Agreements and Leases and (iii) all other agreements entered into or assumed by such Person in connection with the Properties, and will not suffer or permit any material default or event of default (giving effect to any applicable notice requirements and cure periods) to exist under any of the foregoing except where the failure to perform, observe or comply with any agreement referred to in this clause (iii) would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the operation or value of any Property. SECTION 5.12 LEASES. (A) Without the prior written consent of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, the Borrowers shall not, nor shall the Borrowers authorize Manager or any other Person to, (i) enter into any Material Lease; (ii) cancel or terminate any Material Lease (except to enforce any such Lease after a default thereunder); (iii) amend or modify any Material Lease (except for minor modifications and amendments entered into in the ordinary course of business, consistent with prudent property management practices, not materially and adversely affecting the economic terms of the Material Lease); (iv) approve any assignment, sublease or underlease of any Material Lease (except as required pursuant to the express terms of any existing Lease or Lease hereafter approved by Lender); or (v) cancel or modify any guaranty, or release any security deposit, letter of credit, or other item constituting security pertaining to any Material Lease (except as required pursuant to the express terms of any existing Lease or Lease hereafter approved by Lender). (B) Any request for approval of any Material Lease or assignment, termination, amendment or modification of any Material Lease shall be made to Lender in writing and together with such request the Borrowers shall furnish to Lender: (i) such biographical and financial information about the proposed tenant as Lender may reasonably require in conjunction with its review, (ii) a copy of the proposed form of Lease (or amendment or modification), and (iii) a summary of the material terms of such proposed Lease (or amendment or modification) including, without limitation, rental terms and the term of the proposed Lease and any options. Lender's approval of any Material Lease or assignment, termination, amendment or modification of any Material Lease, shall be deemed given, if the first correspondence from the Borrowers to Lender requesting such approval is in an envelope marked "PRIORITY" and contains a bold-faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page thereof stating that "IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO OR TO EXPRESSLY DENY THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL MAY BE DEEMED GIVEN", and is accompanied by the information and documents required above and any other 60 information reasonably requested by Lender in writing prior to the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period in order to adequately review the same has been delivered and, if Lender fails to respond or to expressly deny such request for approval in writing within the fifteen (15) day period, a second notice is delivered to Lender from the Borrowers in an envelope marked "PRIORITY" requesting approval containing a bold-faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page thereof stating that "IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO OR EXPRESSLY DENY THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN" and Lender fails to respond or to expressly deny each request for approval within the ten (10) day period. Except for security deposits, no Material Lease executed after the Closing Date shall provide for payment of rent more than one month in advance, and the Borrowers shall not under any circumstances collect any such rent more than one month in advance. The Borrowers, at Lender's request, shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Material Leases hereafter made. Each new Material Lease or a separate agreement with the tenant of such Material Lease shall be in recordable form and shall specifically provide that such Material Lease (i) is subordinate to the Mortgages; (ii) that the tenant attorns to Lender, such attornment to be effective upon Lender's acquisition of title to the Property; (iii) that the tenant agrees to execute such further evidences of attornment as Lender may from time to time request; (iv) that the attornment of the tenant shall not be terminated by foreclosure; (v) that in no event shall Lender, as holder of the Mortgages or as successor landlord, be liable to the tenant for any act or omission of any prior landlord or for any liability or obligation of any prior landlord occurring prior to the date that Lender or any subsequent owner acquire title to the Property; and (vi) that Lender may, at Lender's option, accept or reject such attornment. SECTION 5.13 MANAGEMENT; FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS. (A) The Borrowers shall cause each Manager to manage the Properties in accordance with the Management Agreements including, without limitation, maintaining inventory in amounts and types customary for hotels comparable to each Property.

Subject to the foregoing conditions, but also subject to the last paragraph of Section 11.4, the Borrowers shall be entitled to draw any remaining balance in the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve when all such Environmental Work is complete, and is paid for, in accordance with the terms hereof. SECTION 6.7 CONDITIONS TO DISBURSEMENTS FROM HAZARDOUS MATERIALS REMEDIATION RESERVE AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT RESERVE; PERFORMANCE OF WORK.

Upon the Borrowers' written request for disbursement, Lender shall authorize Lock Box Account Bank to disburse funds to or for the account of the Borrowers (x) from the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve, to pay to, or pay on behalf of, the 70 Borrowers for the amount of the Borrowers' actual bona fide out-of-pocket expenditures or costs incurred for Environmental Work (the "APPROVED ENVIRONMENTAL EXPENDITURES", and (y) from the Capital Improvement Reserve, to pay to, or pay on behalf of, the Borrowers for the amount of the Borrowers' actual bona fide out-of-pocket expenditures or costs incurred for Required Capital Improvements ("APPROVED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT EXPENDITURES"; and together with the Approved Environmental Expenditures, collectively, "APPROVED EXPENDITURES"; and the related Environmental Work or Required Capital Improvements to which any such request for disbursement relates shall be referred to as the "WORK"), upon satisfaction of each of the conditions listed on SCHEDULE 6.7 and each of the conditions set forth below in Lender's reasonable discretion: (i) Except as provided in this Section 6.7, each request for disbursement from the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve or the Capital Improvement Reserve (such Reserves, the "WORK RESERVES") shall be made for completion of the Approved Expenditures for which disbursement is requested. (ii) A request for disbursement from the Work Reserves may be made after completion of a portion of the Work under such contract, or for payment of deposits required in connection with the Work under such Contract, provided (1) all other conditions in this Loan Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (2) funds remaining in the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve are, in Lender's reasonable judgment, sufficient to complete the Environmental Work when required and/or funds remaining in the Capital Improvement Reserve are, in Lender's reasonable judgment, sufficient to complete such item of Required Capital Improvements and any other Required Capital Improvements remaining to be performed, as the case may be, and (3) if reasonably required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments in excess of $100,000 under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor. (iii) To the extent the contract with the relevant contractor or supplier provides for a retainage, each disbursement from a Work Reserve, except for a final disbursement, shall be in the amount of actual costs incurred less the percentage of such costs that the contract with the relevant contractor or supplier specifies to be retained and advanced as part of the final disbursement. No funds will be advanced for materials stored at any Property unless such materials are properly stored and secured at the applicable Property in accordance with the Borrowers' customary procedures and sound construction practices as reasonably determined by Lender. No funds will be advanced for materials stored at any location other than at the Properties unless Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that Lender has a perfected first priority security interest in any such materials. (iv) The amount of all invoices in connection with the Work with respect to which a disbursement is requested and which has been approved by Lender shall be disbursed by Lock Box Account Bank as directed by the Borrowers (in which event, the Borrowers covenant and agree to promptly pay such invoices) or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at Lender's option and in Lender's sole and absolute discretion, directly to the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor indicated on said invoices unless already paid by the Borrowers and Lender has received satisfactory evidence of such payment in which case Lender shall reimburse the Borrowers. All invoices in connection with 71 disbursements from the Capital Improvement Reserve shall be classified as requests for payment for items of Capital Improvement (as opposed to items that, in conformity with GAAP, would be included as Operating Expenses). If the Borrowers request that any amounts be disbursed directly to the Borrowers pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the Borrowers shall be required to deliver evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender of payment of all invoices for which disbursements were previously made to the Borrowers as a condition to such requested disbursement. (v) No more than two (2) disbursements will be made by Lender from the Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve or the Capital Improvement Reserve in any calendar month, and, if made in accordance herewith or otherwise approved by Lender, requested disbursements will be made within five (5) Business Days after the request therefor. Lender shall not be required to make any disbursement from a Work Reserve with respect to the Property unless such requested disbursement is in an amount equal to or greater than $25,000 (other than the final disbursement). (vi) Lender reserves the right, at its option and as a condition to any disbursement from a Work Reserve, to approve (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) (i) all drawings and plans and specifications, if any, for any Work which require aggregate payments in amounts exceeding the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the Aggregate Allocated Loan Amount with respect to the applicable Property or (y) $250,000, and (ii) all contracts and work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors and other parties providing labor or materials in connection with any Work which require aggregate payments in amounts exceeding the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the Aggregate Allocated Loan Amount with respect to the applicable Property or (y) $250,000. Upon Lender's reasonable request, the Borrowers shall assign (to the extent assignable) any drawings, plans and specifications, contracts or subcontracts to Lender. Drawings, plans and specifications, contracts and work orders approved by Lender shall not be changed in any material respect without Lender's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. (vii) The Borrowers shall have delivered a certificate to Lender from an Architect certifying that the Work has been completed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with all applicable laws for any item in excess of the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the Aggregate Allocated Loan Amount with respect to the applicable Property or (y) $250,000. Lender may retain its own architect or engineer ("LENDER'S CONSULTANT") to review any plans and specifications for any item in excess of the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the Aggregate Allocated Loan Amount with respect to the applicable Property or (y) $250,000, and to periodically inspect any Work at the Borrowers' sole cost and expense. (viii) The Borrowers shall have delivered to Lender a certificate of the Borrowers substantially in the form of Exhibit L attached hereto certifying as to the actual costs which were incurred by the Borrowers to complete such Work, which costs shall not materially exceed the amount budgeted for such Work under the CapEx/FF&E Budget then in effect unless approved by Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (together with supporting documentation reasonably acceptable to Lender). 72 (ix) The Borrowers shall have delivered to Lender all necessary material certificates, authorizations, permits and licenses which are required to permit the construction and completion of the Work, as issued by the appropriate Governmental Authority. The Borrowers, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, hereby assigns to Lender as additional security for the payment of the Obligations and the observance and performance by the Borrowers of the terms, covenants and provisions of the Loan Documents all right, title and interest which the Borrowers may now have or may hereafter acquire in and to such certificates, authorizations, permits and licenses.

Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by Lender's Consultant and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified architect or engineer acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the applicable Work Reserve. The Borrowers shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expense of such inspections as reasonably required hereunder, whether such inspections are conducted by Lender, Servicer, Lender's Consultant or by an independent qualified professional. (B) PERFORMANCE OF WORK. (i) The Borrowers shall complete all Work in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement thereof substantially in accordance with the applicable budget approved by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Loan Agreement. The insufficiency of the balance in the applicable Work Reserve shall not relieve the Borrowers from their obligations to perform and complete the related Work as herein provided or to fulfill all other preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents. (ii) If Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Work is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Work has not been completed in a workmanlike manner, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory work and so notify the Borrowers with reasonable detail regarding the basis for Lender's dissatisfaction and, after the expiration of forty-five (45) days from the giving of such notice by Lender to the Borrowers of such unsatisfactory work without the cure thereof (or, if such unsatisfactory work is susceptible of a cure but cannot reasonably be cured within said forty-five (45) day period and provided that the Borrowers shall have commenced to cure such unsatisfactory work within said forty-five (45) day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, after the expiration of such longer period as is reasonably necessary for the Borrowers in the exercise of due diligence to cure such unsatisfactory work, up to a maximum of an additional sixty (60) days, subject to Force Majeure, without the cure thereof), Lender may proceed under existing contracts or contract with third parties to complete such Work, as the case may be, and apply amounts contained in the applicable Work Reserve toward the labor and materials necessary to complete the same, without providing any additional prior notice to the Borrowers, and exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder. 73 (iii) In order to facilitate Lender's completion or making of any Work pursuant to Section 6.7(B)(ii) above, the Borrowers grant Lender the right to enter onto each Property during normal business hours after the expiration of the notice specified above and perform, subject to the rights of tenants, any and all work and labor necessary to complete the applicable Work and/or employ watchmen to protect the Property from damage. All sums so expended by Lender shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to the Borrowers and secured by the applicable Mortgage. For this purpose, the Borrowers constitute and appoint Lender their true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the applicable Work in the name of the Borrowers pursuant to Section 6.7(B)(ii) above. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrowers empower said attorney-in-fact as follows: (i) to use any funds in the applicable Work Reserve for the purpose of making or completing any Work; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to any Work as shall be reasonably necessary or desirable to complete the same; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against any Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of any Work, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of the Borrowers which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) in its reasonable discretion, to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with any Property or the rehabilitation and repair of such Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which the Borrowers might do in their own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Loan Agreement. (iv) Nothing in this Section shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing any Work; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the amounts on deposit in the applicable Work Reserve to make or complete any Work; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with any Work; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from the Borrowers additional sums to make or complete any Work. (v) The Borrowers shall permit Lender and Lender's agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lender's engineer, architect or inspector) or third parties performing any Work pursuant to this Section 6.7 to enter onto any Property during normal business hours upon reasonable notice (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Work and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating thereto which are or may be kept at any Property, and to complete any Work made pursuant to Section 6.7(B)(ii). The Borrowers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender's representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 6.7(B) or the completion of the Work pursuant to this Section 6.7(B). (vi) All Work and all materials, equipment, fixtures and any other item comprising a part thereof shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic's, materialman's or other liens (except for the Permitted Encumbrances). (vii) All Work shall comply with all applicable legal requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the Properties and applicable insurance 74 requirements, including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations and requirements of insurance underwriters. (C) INDEMNIFICATION. The Borrowers shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations, out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, litigation costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the performance of the Work, except to the extent caused by the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of Lender. The Borrowers shall assign to Lender all rights and claims the Borrowers may have against all Persons supplying labor or materials in connection with the Work; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim or pursue any other action with respect to such rights and claims unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured. SECTION 6.8 CASH TRAP RESERVE. (i) If, at any time prior to the repayment of the Obligations in full, a Cash Trap Event shall occur, then for so long as such Cash Trap Event continues to exist, all Excess Cash Flow (except as otherwise expressly provided below) shall be deposited with Lender (or its Servicer or agent) and held in the Lock Box Account in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement (said funds, together with any interest thereon, the "CASH TRAP RESERVE"). A "CASH TRAP EVENT" shall occur as of any Calculation Date when the Debt Yield is less than the Minimum Debt Yield for the trailing twelve (12) month period ending on such Calculation Date and shall continue to exist until such time as the Minimum Debt Yield test has been satisfied for three (3) consecutive Calculation Dates (on a trailing twelve (12) month basis) following the commencement of the applicable Cash Trap Event. Notwithstanding that the Debt Yield is less than the Minimum Debt Yield as of any Calculation Date, no Cash Trap Event shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of such event if the Borrowers make a principal prepayment of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance (which prepayment amount shall be disbursed on the next Payment Date in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement), within three (3) Business Days after the date of delivery of the financial statements disclosing the existence of such Cash Trap Event (or the date on which such financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1), in an amount equal to the greater of (x) one percent (1%) of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance, or (y) 120% of the amount, as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion, sufficient to cause the Debt Yield to meet or exceed the Minimum Debt Yield if such calculation was recalculated as provided above assuming that such amount was applied to reduce the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance as of the first day of the relevant measuring period. During the continuance of a Cash Trap Event, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any funds on deposit in the Cash Trap Reserve may, at the Borrowers' election, be retained in the Cash Trap Reserve or may be applied to (i) prepayment of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance as provided above, (ii) Capital Expenditures reasonably approved by Lender, or (iii) scheduled payments (not to exceed $525,000 in the aggregate) of principal and interest under the Loan and the Allocable Portion of the Mezzanine Loan (to be applied in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement). Any funds on deposit in the Cash Trap Reserve shall continue to be held as additional Collateral in accordance with this Section 6.8 until the earlier of (a) the date that such funds are applied or disbursed pursuant to the foregoing sentence or (b) the date that the Minimum Debt Yield test has been satisfied for three (3) consecutive months (as determined above), at which time, provided no Event of Default exists, 75 and no Cash Trap Event has commenced, such funds, together with any and all amounts then held in the Minimum Balance Sub-Account (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement), shall be automatically released to the Borrowers without any further certification requirements on the part of the Borrowers. The existence of a Cash Trap Event shall be determined by Lender in its reasonable good faith determination. If Lender determines that a Cash Trap Event has occurred, Lender shall send the Borrowers written notice thereof. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all funds on deposit in the Cash Trap Reserve and any subsequent Excess Cash Flow, while such Event of Default is continuing, may be applied by Lender to payment of the Loan (including payment of any Prepayment Consideration) or other Obligations (or to the obligations of the Mezzanine Borrowers to Mezzanine Lender) as Lender may elect.

The Deposit Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender (which dominion and control may be exercised by Servicer). Among other things, the Deposit Account Agreement shall provide that the Borrowers shall have no access to or control over the Deposit Account, that all available funds on deposit in the Deposit Account shall be transferred by wire transfer (or transfer via the ACH System) on each Business Day by the Deposit Bank into the Lock Box Account, for application in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement. The Deposit Bank and the Lock Box Account Bank shall be directed to deliver to the Borrowers copies of bank statements and other information made available by the Deposit Bank and the Lock Box Account Bank concerning the Deposit Account and the Lock Box Account. (i) Upon establishing the Deposit Account, (1) the Borrowers shall cause any and all Operating Revenues, including distributions or other payments made directly or indirectly to the Borrowers, Manager, or any of their respective Affiliates, from any Beverage Company, to be deposited promptly into the Deposit Account and in no event later than two (2) Business Days after the same are paid to or for the benefit of the Borrowers, and (2) the Borrowers shall obtain agreements (each, a "CREDIT CARD RECEIVABLES PAYMENT DIRECTION LETTER") from each of the Persons paying or disbursing credit card receivables (the "CREDIT CARD COMPANIES"), substantially similar to Lender's form or otherwise in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, pursuant to which the Credit Card Companies agree to pay all credit card receivables into the Lock Box Account, and acknowledge and agree that Lender shall have a first priority perfected security interest in such credit card receivables. To the extent that the Borrowers or any 76 Person on the Borrowers' behalf holds any Receipts, whether in accordance with this Loan Agreement or otherwise, the Borrowers shall be deemed to hold the same in trust for Lender for the protection of the interests of Lender hereunder and under the Loan Documents. The Borrowers represent and warrant that, as of the date hereof, the only Credit Card Companies paying or disbursing credit card receivables with respect to the Property are Chase Merchant Services, American Express, Discover Financial Service, Diners Club, JCB (Japanese Credit Bureau), and, if any of the Borrowers shall hereafter enter into an agreement with any other Credit Card Company pursuant to which such Credit Card Company shall pay credit card receivables with respect to the Properties, such Borrower shall promptly obtain a Credit Card Receivables Payment Direction Letter in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender from such Credit Card Company. (ii) The Borrowers shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the transactions and other matters contemplated by this Section 7.1, including but not limited to, Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, and all reasonable fees and expenses of the Deposit Bank and the Lock Box Account Bank, including without limitation their reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. (B) LOCK BOX ACCOUNT. On or before the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the Cash Management Agreement, an Eligible Account shall be established in the name of Lender, as secured party hereunder, to serve as the "Lock Box Account" (said account, and any account replacing the same in accordance with this Loan Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement, the "LOCK BOX ACCOUNT"; and the depositary institution in which the Lock Box Account is maintained, the "LOCK BOX ACCOUNT BANK"). The Lock Box Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender (which dominion and control may be exercised by Servicer); and except as expressly provided hereunder and/or in the Cash Management Agreement, the Borrowers shall not have the right to control or direct the investment or payment of funds therein during the continuance of an Event of Default. Lender may elect to change any financial institution in which the Lock Box Account shall be maintained if such institution is no longer an Eligible Bank, upon not less than five (5) Business Days' notice to the Borrower. The Lock Box Account shall be deemed to contain such sub-accounts as Lender may designate ("SUB-ACCOUNTS"), which may be maintained as separate ledger accounts and need not be separate Eligible Accounts. The Sub-Accounts shall include the following as more particularly described in the Cash Management Agreement: (i) "DEBT SERVICE SUB-ACCOUNT" means the Sub-Account of the Lock Box Account established for the purposes of reserving for payments of principal and interest and other amounts due under the Loan Documents (but without duplication of amounts covered under item (ii) below); and (ii) "RESERVE SUB-ACCOUNTS" means the Sub-Accounts of the Lock Box Account established for the purpose of holding funds in the Reserves including: (a) the "Imposition and Insurance Reserve Sub-Account"; (b) the "Capital Improvement Reserve Sub-Account"; (c) the "Hazardous Materials Remediation Reserve Sub-Account"; (d) the "Extraordinary Receipts Sub-Account" (e) the "Mezzanine Loan Debt Service Sub-Account"; (f) the "Minimum Balance Sub-Account"; and (g) "Cash Trap Reserve Sub-Account". 77 SECTION 7.2 APPLICATION OF FUNDS IN LOCK BOX ACCOUNT. Funds in the Lock Box Account shall be allocated to the Sub-Accounts or the other Accounts (or paid, as the case may be) in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement. SECTION 7.3 APPLICATION OF FUNDS AFTER EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section or elsewhere, Lender shall have all rights and remedies available under applicable law and under the Loan Documents. Without limitation of the foregoing, for so long as an Event of Default exists, Lender may apply any and all funds in the Deposit Account, and/or any Sub-Accounts against all or any portion of any of the Obligations, in any order.

Upon and at any time after the occurrence of any other 80 Event of Default, at the option of Lender, which may be exercised without notice or demand to anyone, all or any portion of the Loan and other Obligations shall immediately become due and payable. (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 the Borrowers under this Loan 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 Properties. 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 each Property and the Mortgages have been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Obligations or the Obligations have been paid in full. (C) Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgages in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgages then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event the Borrowers default beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage or any of them to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered. (D) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. The Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, within ten (10) days after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall reasonably request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. The Borrowers hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoint Lender as their true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in their name and stead to make and execute all documents reasonably necessary to effect the aforesaid severance if the Borrowers fail to do so within ten (10) days of Lender's written request, the Borrowers ratifying all that their said attorney shall do by virtue thereof. 81 (E) Any amounts recovered from the Properties or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine. (F) The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Loan Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against the Borrowers pursuant to this Loan 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 the Borrowers shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by the Borrowers or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. SECTION 8.3 PERFORMANCE BY LENDER. (A) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if any of the Borrowers shall fail to perform, or cause to be performed, any material covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents (subject to applicable notice and cure periods), Lender may perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of the Borrowers including making protective advances on behalf of any Borrower, or, in its sole discretion, causing the obligations of any of the Borrowers to be satisfied with the proceeds of any Reserve. In such event, the Borrowers shall, at the request of Lender, promptly pay to Lender, or reimburse, as applicable, any of the Reserves, any actual amount reasonably expended or disbursed by Lender in such performance or attempted performance, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate (including reimbursement of any applicable Reserves), from the date of such expenditure or disbursement, 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 applicable Note and shall be secured by all of the Collateral securing the applicable Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that Lender shall not have any liability or responsibility for the performance of any obligation of the Borrowers under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, and it is further expressly agreed that no such performance by Lender shall cure any Event of Default hereunder. (B) Lender may cease or suspend any and all performance required of Lender under the Loan Documents upon and at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default. SECTION 8.4 EVIDENCE OF COMPLIANCE.

ARTICLE X RESTRUCTURING LOAN, SECONDARY MARKET TRANSACTIONS SECTION 10.1 SECONDARY MARKET TRANSACTIONS GENERALLY. Lender shall have the right to engage in one or more Secondary Market Transactions with respect to the Loan, and to structure and restructure all or any part of the Loan, including without limitation in multiple tranches, as a wraparound loan, or for inclusion in a REMIC or other Securitization. Without limitation, Lender shall have the right, at Lender's sole cost (other than each Borrower's internal costs and expenses and the costs and expenses of the Borrowers' counsel), to cause the Note and any Mortgage to be split into a first and a second mortgage loan, or into one or more loans evidenced by multiple notes and secured by multiple mortgages and/or by ownership interests in any of the Borrowers in whatever proportion Lender determines, and thereafter to engage in Secondary Market Transactions with respect to all or any part of the indebtedness and loan documentation. Each of the Borrower Parties acknowledge that it is the intention of the parties that all or a portion of the Loan will be securitized and that all or a portion of the Loan will be rated by one or more Rating Agencies. Each of the Borrower Parties further acknowledge that additional structural modifications may be required to satisfy issues raised by any Rating Agencies. As used herein, "SECONDARY MARKET TRANSACTION" means any of (i) the sale, assignment, or other transfer of all or any portion of the Obligations or the Loan Documents or any interest therein to one or more investors, (ii) the sale, assignment, or other transfer of one or more participation interests in the Obligations or Loan Documents to one or more investors, (iii) the transfer or deposit of all or any portion of the Obligations or Loan Documents to or with one or more trusts or other entities which may sell certificates or other instruments to investors evidencing an ownership interest in the assets of such trust or the right to receive income or proceeds therefrom or (iv) any other Securitization backed in whole or in part by the Loan or any interest therein. SECTION 10.2 COOPERATION; LIMITATIONS. The Borrower Parties shall use all reasonable efforts and cooperate reasonably and in good faith with Lender in effecting any such restructuring or Secondary Market Transactions at Lender's sole cost (other than, with respect to the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction only (or if the Loan shall be hereafter split into multiple loans, the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction with respect to each of such loans), the Borrowers' internal costs and expenses and the costs and expenses of the Borrower Parties' counsel). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Article X, it is acknowledged and agreed that in no event shall Lender be responsible for payment of any Borrower Party's (or its Affiliate's) internal costs and expenses in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction. Such cooperation shall include without limitation, executing and delivering such reasonable amendments to the Loan Documents and the organizational documents of each Borrower as Lender or any Interested Party (as defined below) may request, provided however that, no such 87 amendment shall modify (i) the weighted average interest rate payable under the Note (or notes); (ii) the stated maturity date of the Note, (iii) the amortization of the principal amount of the Note, (iv) any other material economic terms of the Obligations, (v) the non-recourse provisions of the Loan or (vi) any provision, the effect of which would increase the Borrowers' obligations or decrease the Borrowers' rights under the Loan Documents except to a de minimis extent. The Borrower Parties shall not be required to provide additional collateral to effect any such restructuring or Secondary Market Transaction after the Closing Date. The Borrower Parties shall not be required to pay any third party (other than, which respect to the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction only (or if the Loan shall be hereafter split into multiple loans, the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction with respect to each of such loans), the costs and expenses of the Borrowers' counsel) costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any such Secondary Market Transaction unless otherwise expressly payable by the Borrower Parties under this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents. SECTION 10.3 INFORMATION. The Borrower Parties, at Lender's cost and expense (other than, with respect to the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction only (or if the Loan shall be hereafter split into multiple loans, the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction with respect to each of such loans), the Borrowers' internal costs and expenses and the costs and expenses of the Borrower Parties' counsel), shall provide such access to personnel and such information and documents relating to the Borrower Parties, Manager, the Properties and Collateral and the business and operations of all of the foregoing and such opinions of counsel (including nonconsolidation opinions) as any Rating Agency may request or as Lender or any other Interested Party may reasonably request in connection with any such Secondary Market Transaction including, without limitation, updated financial information, appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews (Phase I's and, if appropriate, Phase II's), mold inspection, property condition reports and other due diligence investigations together with appropriate verification of such updated information and reports through letters of auditors and consultants and, as of the closing date of the Secondary Market Transaction, updated representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents and such additional representations and warranties as any Rating Agency may request or any purchaser, transferee, assignee, trustee, servicer or potential investor (the Rating Agencies and all of the foregoing parties, collectively, "INTERESTED PARTIES") may reasonably request, to the extent such updated representations and warranties are true. On or prior to the date of closing of any Secondary Market Transaction, the Borrowers, at Lender's cost and expense (other than with respect to the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction only (or if the Loan shall be hereafter split into multiple loans, the first successful Securitization and any related Secondary Market Transaction with respect to each of such loans), the Borrowers' internal costs and expenses and the costs and expenses of the Borrowers' counsel), shall, if required by any Rating Agency or reasonably required by Lender, provide revisions or "bringdowns" to any opinions delivered at Closing (including nonconsolidation opinions), or if required by the Rating Agencies, new versions of such opinions, which opinions shall be consistent in substance with the opinions covered by the original opinions, addressed to Lender, any trustee under any Securitization backed in whole or in part by the Loan, any Rating Agency that assigns a rating to any securities in connection therewith and any investor purchasing securities therein. Lender shall be permitted to share all such information with the investment banking firms, Rating Agencies, accounting firms, law firms, other third party advisory firms, 88 potential investors, servicers and other service providers and other parties directly involved in any proposed Secondary Market Transaction. The Borrowers understand that any such information may be incorporated into any offering circular, prospectus, prospectus supplement, private placement memorandum or other offering documents for any Secondary Market Transaction. Lender and the Rating Agencies shall be entitled to rely upon such information. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrowers and Guarantor shall provide in connection with each (i) preliminary and final private placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, prepared in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction (the documents referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the "DISCLOSURE DOCUMENTS"), an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers and Guarantor certifying that the Borrowers and Guarantor have examined such Disclosure Documents specified by Lender and, that the sections of such Disclosure Document describing the Borrowers, Guarantor, the Properties and Manager do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading. The Borrowers and Guarantor shall each indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Lender, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("MERRILL LYNCH"), and their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, agents and each Person, if any, who controls Lender, Merrill Lynch or any such Affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and any other placement agent or underwriter with respect to any Securitization or Secondary Market Transaction from and against any losses, claims, damages and liabilities that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Disclosure Document as to the Borrowers, Guarantor, Manager and the Properties or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such information or necessary in order to make the statements in such information not materially misleading; provided, however, the Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify Merrill Lynch for any liabilities arising out of untrue statements or omissions that were identified to Lender in writing or are set forth in any third party report not prepared by the Borrowers or their Affiliates unless such reports are caused to be incorrect or misleading based upon information provided by the Borrowers or their Affiliates. Lender may publicize the existence of the Obligations in connection with Lender's Secondary Market Transaction activities or otherwise. SECTION 10.4 ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS. In any Secondary Market Transaction, Lender may transfer its obligations under this Loan Agreement and under the other Loan Documents (or may transfer the portion thereof corresponding to the transferred portion of the Obligations), and thereafter Lender shall be relieved of any obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents arising after the date of said transfer with respect to the transferred interest.

This Article shall not affect the rights of the Waiving Party other than to waive or limit rights and defenses that Waiving Party would have (i) in its capacity as a guarantor or surety or (ii) in its capacity as one having rights or obligations in the nature of a guarantor or surety. Waiving Party hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of receivership or bankruptcy of any of the other Borrower Parties, protest or notice with respect to any of the obligations of any of the other Borrower Parties, setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of acceptance, the benefits of all statutes of limitation, and all other demands whatsoever (and shall not require that the same be made on any of the other Borrower Parties as a condition precedent to the obligations of Waiving Party), and covenants that the Loan Documents will not be discharged, except by complete payment and performance of the obligations evidenced and secured thereby, except only as limited by the express contractual provisions of the Loan Documents. Waiving Party further waives all notices that the principal amount, or any portion thereof, and/or any interest on any instrument or document evidencing all or any part of the obligations of any of the other Borrower Parties to Lender is due, notices of any and all proceedings to collect from any of the other Borrower Parties or any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of their obligations, or from any other person or entity, and, to the extent permitted by law, notices of exchange, sale, surrender or other handling of any security or collateral given to Lender to secure payment of all or any part of the obligations of any of the other Borrower Parties. Except only to the extent provided otherwise in the express contractual provisions of the Loan Documents, Waiving Party hereby agrees that all of its obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect, without defense, offset or counterclaim of any kind, notwithstanding that any right of Waiving Party against any of the other Borrower Parties or defense of Waiving Party against Lender may be impaired, destroyed, or otherwise affected by 96 reason of any action or inaction on the part of Lender. Waiving Party waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Lender, even though that election of remedies, may have destroyed the Waiving Party's rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the other Borrower Parties. Lender is hereby authorized, without notice or demand, from time to time, (a) to renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or other terms relating to, all or any part of the obligations of any of the other Borrower Parties; (b) to accept partial payments on all or any part of the obligations of any of the other Borrower Parties; (c) to take and hold security or collateral for the payment of all or any part of the obligations of any of the other Borrower Parties; (d) to exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security or collateral for such obligations; (e) to apply such security or collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as in its discretion it may determine; (f) to settle, release, exchange, enforce, waive, compromise or collect or otherwise liquidate all or any part of such obligations and any security or collateral for such obligations. Any of the foregoing may be done in any manner, and Waiving Party agrees that the same shall not affect or impair the obligations of Waiving Party under the Loan Documents. Waiving Party hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of all of the other Borrower Parties and any and all endorsers and/or other guarantors of all or any part of the obligations of the other Borrower Parties, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of such obligations, and Waiving Party hereby agrees that Lender shall have no duty to advise Waiving Party of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances. Waiving Party agrees that neither Lender nor any person or entity acting for or on behalf of Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Waiving Party or against or in payment of any or all of the obligations secured hereby. Waiving Party further agrees that, to the extent that any of the other Borrower Parties or any other guarantor of all or any part of the obligations of the other Borrower Parties makes a payment or payments to Lender, or Lender receives any proceeds of collateral for any of the obligations of the other Borrower Parties, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid or refunded, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, the part of such obligations which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by such amount shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the time immediately preceding such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction. Waiving Party (i) shall have no right of subrogation with respect to the obligations of the other Borrower Parties; (ii) waives any right to enforce any remedy that Lender now has or may hereafter have against any of the other Borrower Parties any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of such obligations or any other person; and (iii) waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to Lender to secure the payment or performance of all or any part of such obligations or any other liability of the other parties to Lender. Waiving Party agrees that any and all claims that it may have against any of the other Borrower Parties, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of the obligations of the other Borrower Parties, or against any of their respective properties, shall be subordinate and 97 subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all obligations secured hereby. Notwithstanding any right of any of the Waiving Party to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment from the other Borrower Parties, all rights, liens and security interests of Waiving Party, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of any of the other Borrower Parties (whether constituting part of the security or collateral given to Lender to secure payment of all or any part of the obligations of the other Borrower Parties or otherwise) shall be and hereby are subordinated to the rights of Lender in those assets. ARTICLE XIV MISCELLANEOUS SECTION 14.1 EXPENSES AND ATTORNEYS' FEES.

The obligations and liabilities of the Borrowers under this Section 14.2 shall survive the term of the Loan and the exercise by Lender of any of its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, including the acquisition of the Properties by foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure. SECTION 14.3 AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. Except as otherwise provided herein, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Loan Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, or consent to any departure therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender and any other party to be charged. Each amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on the Borrowers in any case shall entitle the Borrowers or other Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. SECTION 14.4 RETENTION OF THE BORROWERS' DOCUMENTS. Lender may, in accordance with Lender's customary practices, destroy or otherwise dispose of all documents, schedules, invoices or other papers, delivered by the Borrowers to Lender (other than the Note) unless the Borrowers request in writing that same be returned.

(ii) The Borrowers shall pay to Lender on the Defeasance Election Date all interest accrued and unpaid on the outstanding principal amount of this Note due through the Defeasance Election Date, or through the end of the Interest Accrual Period during which the Defeasance Election Date occurs if the Defeasance Election Date is other than a Payment Date, and the scheduled principal amortization payment due on such Defeasance Election Date, or due upon the next succeeding Payment Date if the Defeasance Election Date is other than a Payment Date, together with all other amounts, if any, then due and payable under this Note, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents. (iii) The Borrowers shall irrevocably deposit with Lender an amount of U.S. Government Securities (hereinafter defined) which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than the due dates of the payments owing hereunder, cash in an amount sufficient, without reinvestment, in the opinion of a firm of independent certified public accountants reasonably acceptable to Lender expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to Lender (the "CPA Certificate"), (1) with respect to a total Defeasance, to pay and discharge the Scheduled Defeasance Payments (hereinafter defined) for the principal balance of this Note or (2) with respect to a partial Defeasance in connection with the release of one or more Properties, to pay and discharge the Scheduled Defeasance Payments relating to the Release Price for such Property or Properties (the U.S. Government Securities so deposited together with any interest or other increase from the issuer of the securities earned thereon, and any replacements thereof, shall be referred to herein as the "Defeasance Deposit"). All such U.S. Government Securities, if in registered form, shall be registered in the name of Lender or its nominee (and, if registered in nominee's name, endorsed to Lender or in blank) and, if issued in book-entry form, the name of Lender or its 2 Promissory Note (FX-4) nominee shall appear as the owner of such securities on the books of the Federal Reserve Bank or other party maintaining such book-entry system. (iv) The Borrowers shall cause the following to be delivered to Lender on or prior to the Defeasance Election Date, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender: (a) a security agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, creating a first priority lien on the Defeasance Deposit (the "Defeasance Security Agreement"); (b) the CPA Certificate; (c) a certificate of the Borrowers certifying that all requirements for the Defeasance set forth herein have been satisfied; (d) an opinion of counsel for the Borrowers in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender to the effect that (i) Lender has a perfected first priority security interest in the Defeasance Deposit, (ii) the holder of this Note will not recognize additional income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the Defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the Defeasance had not occurred, (iii) any holder, trustee or custodian of this Note which is a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code will not fail to maintain its status as such as a result of the Defeasance and (iv) the Defeasance Security Agreement is enforceable against the Borrowers in accordance with its terms; (e) evidence in writing from the applicable Rating Agencies for any Securities backed in whole or in part by this Note, to the effect that the Defeasance will not result in a downgrading, withdrawal, or qualification of the ratings in effect immediately prior to such Defeasance for any class of such then outstanding Securities; (f) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that each of the Borrowers remains validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state where it is organized and, to the extent required by applicable law, qualified to do business in the state where its respective Property is located; and the Borrowers shall maintain such existence during the time thereafter when this Note shall be outstanding (unless a Successor Borrower (hereinafter defined) assumes the obligations of each of the Borrowers or the Defeasing Borrower(s) (as hereinafter defined), as the case may be, under this Note); and (g) a certificate of the Borrowers certifying that all of the representations, and warranties contained in the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects as of the Defeasance Election Date and ratifying all of the covenants and obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents as of such date and such other certificates, documents or instruments as Lender may reasonably request or as may be required by the Rating Agencies referred to above, provided that such certificates, documents or instruments shall not increase the Borrowers' obligations or decrease the Borrowers' rights under the Loan Documents. 3 Promissory Note (FX-4) (v) Either (1) each of the Borrowers in the case of a total Defeasance, or the Defeasing Borrower(s) in the case of a partial Defeasance shall deliver to Lender a certificate stating that at all times following the Defeasance, the Borrowers or the Defeasing Borrower(s), as the case may be, shall have no interest in any assets other than the Defeasance Deposit, or (2) such Borrower(s) shall satisfy all of the requirements of Section C below. (vi) The Borrowers shall pay to Lender all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with the Defeasance. (vii) In the event only a portion of the Loan evidenced by this Note is the subject of the Defeasance in connection with the release of any Lien of any applicable Mortgage on one or more individual Properties under Section 11.4 of the Loan Agreement, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver all necessary documents to amend and restate this Note and issue two substitute promissory notes therefor: one note having a principal balance equal to the defeased portion of the original Note (the "Defeased Note") and one note having a principal balance equal to the undefeased portion of the original Note (the "Undefeased Note"). The Defeased Note and the Undefeased Note shall have identical terms as the original Note (and the Defeased Note and the Undefeased Note or Notes shall be cross-defaulted with each other), except for the principal balance. A Defeased Note cannot be the subject of any further Defeasance. An Undefeased Note may be the subject of a further Defeasance in accordance with the terms of this Note and the Loan Agreement (the term "Note", as used above in this clause (vii) for these purposes, being deemed to refer to the Undefeased Note that is the subject of further defeasance); provided, however, that no such partial Defeasance shall take place unless the conditions hereof and the conditions of Section 11.4 of the Loan Agreement are satisfied. B. Upon compliance with the requirements of Section A above and compliance with the requirements of Section 11.4 of the Loan Agreement, Lender shall cause each of the Properties, in the case of a total Defeasance, or each Defeased Property (as hereinafter defined), in the case of a partial Defeasance, to be released from the lien of the applicable Mortgages and the other applicable Loan Documents. The obligations under the Loan Documents with respect to the Properties or each Defeased Property, as the case may be, shall no longer be applicable, and the Defeasance Deposit shall be the sole source of collateral securing this Note or the Defeased Note, as the case may be. Lender shall apply the Defeasance Deposit and the payments received therefrom to the payment of all scheduled principal and interest payments due on all successive Payment Dates under this Note or the Defeased Note, as the case may be, after the Defeasance Election Date to and including the Maturity Date and to payment of the entire remaining Debt or the entire remaining principal balance, accrued and unpaid interest and other sums due under the Defeased Note, as the case may be, on the Maturity Date (collectively, the "Scheduled Defeasance Payments"). The Borrowers, pursuant to the Defeasance Security Agreement or other appropriate document, shall direct that the payments received from the Defeasance Deposit shall be made directly to Lender and applied to satisfy the obligations of the Borrowers under this Note or the Defeased Note, as the case may be. C. If, after the Defeasance, the Borrowers, in the case of a total Defeasance, or the Defeasing Borrower(s), in the case of a partial Defeasance, will own any assets other than the Defeasance Deposit, the Borrowers or the Defeasing Borrower(s), as the case may be, shall 4 Promissory Note (FX-4) establish or designate a single-purpose, bankruptcy-remote successor entity acceptable to Lender (the "Successor Borrower"), with respect to which a nonconsolidation opinion reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and any applicable Rating Agencies shall be delivered to Lender and such Rating Agencies, in which case the Borrowers or the Defeasing Borrower(s), as the case may be, shall transfer and assign to the Successor Borrower all of their respective obligations, rights and duties under this Note or the Defeased Note, as the case may be, and the Defeasance Security Agreement, together with the pledged Defeasance Deposit. The Successor Borrower shall assume the obligations of the Borrowers or the Defeasing Borrower(s), as the case may be, under this Note or the Defeased Note, as the case may be, and the Defeasance Security Agreement, and such Borrower(s) shall be relieved and released of their respective obligations hereunder and thereunder. Each of the Borrowers or the applicable Defeasing Borrower(s), as the case may be, shall pay not less than $1,000 to the Successor Borrower as consideration for assuming such Borrower's obligations. D. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings: (i) "Defeased Property" shall mean any Property being released from the lien of the Mortgage relating to such Property pursuant to a partial Defeasance in accordance with the provisions of this Note and Section 11.4 of the Loan Agreement. (ii) "U.S. Government Securities" shall mean securities that are (i) direct obligations of the United States of America for the full and timely payment of which its full faith and credit is pledged or (ii) obligations of an entity controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality and guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation which shall be fully and timely paid by the United States of America, which in either case are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof (including a depository receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the United States Securities Act)) as custodian with respect to any such U.S. Government Securities or a specific payment of principal of or interest on any such U.S. Government Securities held by such custodian for the account of the holder of such depository receipt, provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the securities or the specific payment of principal of or interest on the securities evidenced by such depository receipt. (iii) "Defeasing Borrower" shall mean the Borrower owning or leasing, as the case may be, a Defeased Property. (iv) "Release Price" shall have the meaning set forth in the Loan Agreement. E. If, after payment in full of all obligations evidenced by this Note or any other of the Loan Documents, any of the Defeasance Deposit remains, such remaining balance of the Defeasance Deposit shall be returned to the Borrowers (or to the Successor Borrower, as the case may be) or Lender shall assign to the Borrowers (or the Successor Borrower, as the case may be) all of Lender's right, title, and interest in the Government Securities constituting the Defeasance Deposit. 5 Promissory Note (FX-4) PREPAYMENT; PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATION. The Borrowers may not prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time except as expressly provided in Section 2.6 of the Loan Agreement. EVENTS OF DEFAULT; ACCELERATION. Upon and at any time following the occurrence of any Event of Default, then at the option of Lender and without notice, the entire principal amount and all interest accrued and outstanding hereunder and all other amounts outstanding under any of the Loan Documents shall at once become due and payable, and Lender may exercise any and all of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents or pursuant to applicable law. Lender may so accelerate such obligations and exercise such remedies at any time after the occurrence of any Event of Default, regardless of any prior forbearance. LATE CHARGES; DEFAULT INTEREST. If an Event of Default relating to non-payment of any principal, interest or other sums due under this Note or under any of the other Loan Documents shall occur, then the Borrowers shall pay to Lender, in addition to all sums otherwise due and payable, a late fee in an amount equal to five percent (5.0%) of such principal, interest or other sums due hereunder or under any other Loan Document (or, in the case of a partial payment, the unpaid portion thereof), such late charge to be immediately due and payable without demand by Lender. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and in any event from and after the Maturity Date of the Loan, the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest until paid in full at a rate per annum (the "Default Rate") equal to the sum of (i) four percent (4.0%) and (ii) the Interest Rate otherwise applicable under this Note. The Borrowers agree that such late charges and Default Rate of interest are reasonable and do not constitute a penalty. LAWFUL INTEREST. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Note, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Borrowers 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 ("Excess Interest"). If any Excess Interest is provided for or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been provided for in this Note, the Loan Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, then in such event: (1) the provisions of this subsection shall govern and control; (2) the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any Excess Interest; (3) any Excess Interest that Lender may have received hereunder shall be, at Lender's option, (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(s) 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 Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction; and (5) the Borrowers shall not have any action against Lender for any damages arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest. 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 this Note or the Loan Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, 6 Promissory Note (FX-4) 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. CERTAIN RIGHTS AND WAIVERS. From time to time, without affecting the obligation of the Borrowers or their successors or assigns to pay the outstanding principal balance of this Note, interest thereon and other amounts due hereunder and to observe the covenants contained herein, in the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or in any other Loan Document, without affecting the guaranty of any person or entity for payment of the outstanding principal balance of this Note, without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of any Borrower or its successors or assigns or any guarantors or indemnitor, and without liability on the part of Lender, Lender may, at its option, extend the time for payment of the outstanding principal balance of this Note or any part thereof, reduce the payments thereon, release anyone liable for payment of all or a portion of said indebtedness, accept a renewal of this Note, modify the terms and time of payment of said outstanding principal balance, join in any extension or subordination agreement, release any security given herefor, take or release other or additional security, and agree in writing with the undersigned to modify the rate of interest or period of amortization of this Note or change the amount of the monthly installments payable hereunder. Presentment, notice of dishonor, and protest are hereby waived by the Borrowers and all makers, sureties, guarantors and endorsers hereof. This Note shall be binding upon the Borrowers and their successors and assigns. EACH BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS NOTE, THE INSTRUMENTS, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, ANY OTHER AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. ASSIGNMENT AND TRANSFER OF NOTE. Subject to the provisions of the Loan Agreement, Lender shall have the right to assign or transfer, in whole or in part (including the right to grant participation interests in) any or all of its obligations under this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages and any or all of the other Loan Documents. Lender shall be released of any obligations to the extent that the same are so assigned or transferred, and the rights and obligations of "Lender" hereunder shall become the rights and obligations of the transferee holder. LIMITATION ON RECOURSE. Lender's rights of recourse for the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder are limited in accordance with Article XII of the Loan Agreement. This 7 Promissory Note (FX-4) provision shall not limit any rights of Lender under the Guaranty of Recourse Obligations or the Environmental Indemnity, each dated as of the date hereof. ATTORNEYS' FEES, COSTS OF COLLECTION. The Borrowers shall pay to Lender on demand all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred by Lender in collecting the indebtedness arising hereunder or under any other Loan Documents or secured thereby or otherwise exercising any rights or remedies of Lender hereunder or thereunder or at law or in equity or enforcing the obligations of any parties hereto or thereto, or as a consequence of any breach or default by any Borrower or any guarantor hereunder or thereunder, or otherwise as a consequence of any right evidenced or secured by this Note or the Loan Documents. Without limitation, such costs and expenses to be reimbursed by the Borrowers shall include reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in any bankruptcy case or proceeding and in any appeal. APPLICABLE LAW. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and applicable federal law. TIME OF ESSENCE. Time shall be of the essence as to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Note. If the due date of any payment due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall fall on a day other than a Business Day, the Borrowers shall be required to make such payment on the next succeeding Business Day. JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS. The obligations and liabilities of the Borrowers hereunder shall be joint and several.

This Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by Guarantor. (b) ENFORCEABILITY. This Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, or application of general principles of equity in any legal proceeding. (c) NO VIOLATION. The execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of its obligations under this Guaranty do not violate any law, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental body, agency or other instrumentality applicable to Guarantor, or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any mortgage, lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the assets of Guarantor pursuant to the terms of any mortgage, indenture, agreement or instrument to which Guarantor is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound.

Guarantor is not in default beyond any applicable grace or cure period with respect to any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority which might materially adversely affect the financial condition of Guarantor or the ability of Guarantor to perform any of its obligations under this Guaranty.

(e) No compromise, alteration, amendment, modification, extension, renewal, release or other change of, or waiver, consent, delay, omission, failure to act or other action with 4 Guaranty of Recourse Obligations [FX-4] respect to, any liability or obligation under or with respect to, or of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of, the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents or any amendment, modification or other change of any legal requirement shall in any way alter, impair or affect any of the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, and Guarantor agrees that if any Loan Documents are modified with Lender's consent, the Guaranteed Obligations shall automatically be deemed modified to include such modifications.

Each and every remedy of Lender shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. (g) No waiver shall be deemed to have been made by Lender of any rights hereunder unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender, and any such waiver shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific matter involved and shall in no way impair the rights of Lender or the obligations of Guarantor to Lender in any other respect or at any other time. (h) At the option of Lender, Guarantor may be joined in any action or proceeding commenced by Lender against Borrowers in connection with or based upon the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Mortgages or any other Loan Documents and recovery may be had against Guarantor in such action or proceeding or in any independent action or proceeding against Guarantor to the extent of Guarantor's liability hereunder, without any requirement that Lender first assert, prosecute or exhaust any remedy or claim against Borrowers or any other Person, or any security for the obligations of Borrowers or any other Person. (i) Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment is made by Borrowers or Guarantor to Lender and such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Lender (as determined by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion) upon insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, receivership, conservatorship, winding up or other similar proceeding involving or affecting any Borrower or Guarantor, all as though such payment had not been made. (j) In the event that Guarantor shall advance or become obligated to pay any sums under this Guaranty or in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or in the event that for any reason whatsoever any Borrower or any subsequent owner of any Property or any part thereof is now, or shall hereafter become, indebted to Guarantor, Guarantor agrees that (i) the amount of such sums and of such indebtedness and all interest thereon shall at all times be subordinate as to the lien, the time of payment and in all other respects to all sums, including principal and interest and other amounts, at any time owed to Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or receive payment thereof until all principal, interest and other sums due pursuant to the Loan Documents have been paid in full. Nothing herein contained is intended or shall be construed to give Guarantor any right of subrogation in or under the Loan Documents or any right to participate in any way therein, or in the right, title or interest of Lender 5 Guaranty of Recourse Obligations [FX-4] in or to any collateral for the Loan, notwithstanding any payments made by Guarantor under this Guaranty, until the actual and irrevocable receipt by Lender of payment in full of all principal, interest and other sums due with respect to the Loan or otherwise payable under the Loan Documents. If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when any such sums due and owing to Lender shall not have been fully paid, such amount shall be paid by Guarantor to Lender for credit and application against such sums due and owing to Lender. The foregoing shall not prohibit Borrowers from using the proceeds of the Loan for any permitted use under the Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, the making of distributions to Guarantor. (k) Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall survive a foreclosure, delivery of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the exercise of any power of sale or similar proceeding involving any Property or any part thereof and the exercise by Lender of any of all of its remedies pursuant to the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall survive for a period of two (2) years following payment in full of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, provided, however, in the event that any Guaranteed Obligations or liabilities of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall have arisen prior to the expiration of such period, then in any such event the foregoing survival period shall not apply and the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor hereunder shall survive.

WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, Lender has agreed to make three (3) loans (respectively, the "Pool 1 Loan," "Pool 2 Loan," and "Pool 3 Loan," and collectively, the "Loans") to the respective borrowers described on Exhibit A (respectively, the "Pool 1 Borrowers," "Pool 2 Borrowers," and "Pool 3 Borrowers," and collectively, the "Borrowers"), in the amounts set forth on Exhibit A; and WHEREAS, to evidence the respective Loans, the respective Borrowers have executed and delivered those certain Promissory Notes, each dated as of the date hereof, in the principal amounts of the respective Loans (respectively, "Note 1," "Note 2" and "Note 3," and collectively, the "Notes"), pursuant to those certain Loan and Security Agreements, each dated as of the date hereof, among the respective Borrowers and Lender as more particularly described on Exhibit A (respectively, "Loan Agreement 1," "Loan Agreement 2" and "Loan Agreement 3," and collectively, the "Loan Agreements"); and WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given thereto in the respective Loan Agreements or Guarantor Loan Agreement (hereinafter defined), as applicable; and WHEREAS, the Notes shall be secured by, among other things, the Mortgages encumbering the Properties; and WHEREAS, simultaneously with the making of the Loans, Guarantors are obtaining a loan in the amount of $61,516,500 (the "Guarantor Loan") from Lender pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between the Guarantors and Lender (the "Guarantor Loan Agreement"; and together with the other documents and agreements evidencing and/or securing the Guarantor Loan, collectively, the "Guarantor Loan Documents"); and WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to Lender making the Guarantor Loan to Guarantors that Guarantors, among other things, guaranty the Loans pursuant to this Guaranty and grant to Lender Mortgages on the Properties (as defined in the Guarantor Loan Agreement, and hereinafter referred to as the "Guarantor Properties") as security for their obligations hereunder; and WHEREAS, Guarantors shall derive substantial economic benefits from the simultaneous making of the Guarantor Loan and Loans by Lender to Guarantors and Borrowers, respectively; and WHEREAS, as a condition precedent to the making of the Loans, Borrowers have agreed to procure and deliver to Lender this Agreement; and WHEREAS, Lender has declined to make the Loans or the Guarantor Loan unless this Agreement is duly executed by Guarantors and delivered to Lender. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration for, and as an inducement to, Lender's making the Loans and the Guarantor Loan, and for other good and valuable consideration the legal sufficiency of which and receipt thereof are hereby acknowledged, and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Guarantor Loan Agreement, the Guarantor Loan Documents, the Loan Agreements, the Notes, the Mortgages or any of the other Loan Documents, but subject to the provisions of Article XII of the Guarantor Loan Agreement, Lender and Guarantors do hereby agree as follows: 1. Guarantors, on behalf of themselves and their successors and assigns (collectively, "Successors") do hereby absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably and personally: (i) guaranty to Lender the full and prompt payment and performance when due of the Loans and all other Obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Agreements and (ii) agree to reimburse Lender for, and hold Lender harmless from and against, any and all losses, damages, claims, expenses, deficiencies, liabilities and costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred, suffered or sustained by Lender and/or its successors and assigns as a result of or arising out of, in connection with or resulting from, the enforcement of this Agreement against Guarantors (the obligations of Guarantors under clauses (i) and (ii) above being referred to hereinafter, collectively, as "Guarantors' Obligations"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything else to the contrary contained herein, in the event that any of the Guarantors shall become an Excluded Borrower and the Guarantor Loan shall become an Excluded Loan pursuant to Lender's election under Section 2.12(G) of the Guarantor Loan Agreement to cause any of the Loans to no longer be secured by the Guarantor Properties, this Guaranty shall automatically terminate and shall be of no further force or effect. 2. It is agreed that the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be primary and this Agreement shall be enforceable against Guarantors and their Successors without the necessity for any suit or proceeding of any kind or nature whatsoever brought by Lender against Borrowers or their respective successors or assigns or any other party or against any security for the payment of the Guarantors' Obligations and without the necessity of any notice of non-payment or non-observance or of any notice of acceptance of this Agreement or of any notice of demand to which Guarantors might otherwise be entitled (including, without limitation, diligence, presentment, notice of maturity, extension of time, protest, notice of dishonor or default, change in nature or form of the Guarantors' Obligations, acceptance of further security, release of further security, imposition or agreement arrived at as to the amount of or the terms of the Guarantors' Obligations, notice of adverse change in Borrowers' financial condition and any other fact that might materially increase the risk to Guarantors), all of which Guarantors hereby expressly waive. Guarantors hereby expressly agree that the validity of this Agreement and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall in no way be terminated, affected, diminished, modified or impaired by reason of the assertion of or the failure to assert by Lender against Borrowers, or their successors or assigns, any of the rights or remedies reserved to Lender pursuant to the provisions of the Guarantor Loan Agreement, the Loan Agreements, the Notes, the Mortgages or any other Loan Documents. 3. Guarantors waive, and covenant and agree that they will not at any time insist upon, plead or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any and all appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshaling-of-assets or redemption laws, or right of homestead or exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, that may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance by Guarantors of their obligations under, or the enforcement by Lender of, this Agreement. Guarantors further covenant and agree not to set up or claim any defense, counterclaim, cross-claim, offset, set-off, right of recoupment, or other objection of any kind to any action, suit or proceeding in law, equity or otherwise, or to any demand or claim that may be instituted or made by Lender hereunder other than the defense of the actual timely performance of Guarantors' Obligations hereunder. Guarantors represent, warrant and agree that, as of the date hereof, their obligations under this Agreement are not subject to any 2 counterclaims, cross-claims, rights of recoupment, offsets or affirmative or other defenses of any kind against Lender. 4. Guarantors agree that any notice or directive given at any time by Guarantors to Lender that is inconsistent with any waiver contained in this Agreement shall be void and may be ignored by Lender, and, in addition, may not be pleaded or introduced as evidence in any litigation relating to this Agreement for the reason that such pleading or introduction would be at variance with the written terms of this Agreement, unless Lender has specifically agreed otherwise in a writing, signed by a duly authorized officer. Guarantors specifically acknowledge and agree that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the Loan transaction and that, but for this Agreement and such waivers, Lender would not make the Loans to Borrowers. 5. The provisions of this Agreement are for the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between Borrowers and Lender, the obligations of Borrowers under the Loan Agreements, the Notes, the Mortgages or any of the other Loan Documents. 6. This Agreement shall be a continuing guaranty and the liability of Guarantors hereunder shall in no way be terminated, affected, modified, impaired or diminished (to the extent permitted by law) by reason of the happening, from time to time, of any of the following, although without notice or the further consent of Guarantors: (a) any assignment, amendment, modification or waiver of or change in any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of the Guarantor Loan Agreement, the Loan Agreements, the Notes, the Mortgages or any of the other Loan Documents or the invalidity or unenforceability of any of the foregoing; or (b) any extension of time that may be granted by Lender to Borrowers, Guarantors or Guarantors' Successors; or (c) any action that Lender or Borrowers may take or fail to take under or in respect of any of the Loan Documents or by reason of any waiver of, or failure to enforce any of the rights, remedies, powers or privileges available to Lender under this Agreement or available to Lender at law, equity or otherwise, or any action on the part of Lender or Borrowers granting indulgence or extension in any form whatsoever; or (d) any dealing, transaction, matter or thing occurring between Lender, Borrowers, Guarantors or Guarantors' Successors; or (e) any sale, exchange, release, or other disposition of any property pledged, Mortgaged or conveyed, or any property in which Lender has been granted a lien or security interest to secure any indebtedness of Borrowers to Lender; or (f) any release of any person or entity who may be liable in any manner for the payment and collection of any amounts owed by Borrowers to Lender (including the other Guarantors); or (g) the application of any sums by whomsoever paid or however realized to any amounts owing by Borrowers to Lender in such manner as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion; or 3 (h) any Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Guarantor Loan Agreement and the Loan Agreements), whether or not Lender has exercised any of its rights and remedies as set forth in the Guarantor Loan Agreement or the Mortgages upon the happening of any such Event of Default; or (i) Borrowers' and/or Guarantors' voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale of all or substantially all of their respective assets and liabilities, appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, sequestrator or conservator for all or any part of Borrowers' or Guarantors' assets, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment, or the commencement of other similar proceedings affecting Borrowers or Guarantors or any of the assets of either of them, including, without limitation, (A) the release or discharge of Borrowers from the payment and performance of their obligations under any of the Loan Documents by operation of law, or (B) the impairment, limitation or modification of the liability of Borrowers, their partners or Guarantors in bankruptcy, or of any remedy for the enforcement of the Guarantors' Obligations, under any of the Loan Documents, or Guarantors' liability under this Agreement resulting from the operation of any present or future provisions of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or other present or future federal, state or applicable statute of law or from the decision in any court; or (j) any change in or termination of the ownership interest of Guarantors in Borrowers (whether direct or indirect); or (k) any conveyance of the Mortgaged Properties, whether or not pursuant to a foreclosure sale, a deed in lieu of foreclosure, a transfer through bankruptcy, or otherwise. 7. Guarantors acknowledge that this Guaranty and Guarantors' Obligations are and shall at all times continue to be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable in all respects, and shall at all times be valid and enforceable irrespective of any other agreement or circumstances of any nature whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a defense to this Guaranty or the obligations of any other person or party (including, without limitation, Borrower or any other guarantor) relating to this Guaranty or the obligations of Guarantors hereunder. 8. Guarantors agree that if at any time all or any part of any payment at any time received by Lender from Borrowers or Guarantors under or with respect to this Agreement is or must be rescinded or returned by Lender for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrowers or Guarantors), then Guarantors' Obligations hereunder shall, to the extent of the payment rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such previous receipt by Lender, and Guarantors' Obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or reinstated, as the case may be, as to such payment, as though such previous payment to Lender had never been made. 9. Until repayment of the Indebtedness (as such term is defined in the Guarantor Loan Agreement and the Loan Agreements) and satisfaction of all of the obligations under the Guarantor Loan Agreement, Guarantors and each of them (a) shall have no right of subrogation against Borrowers, general partner of any Borrower that is a limited partnership or any other Guarantor by reason of any payments or acts of performance by a Guarantor in compliance with the obligations of a Guarantor hereunder; (b) shall have no right of indemnity, contribution, or any other right or cause of action whatsoever under law or equity against any other Guarantor by reason of any payments or acts of performance by a Guarantor in compliance with the obligations of a Guarantor hereunder; (c) hereby waive any right to enforce any remedy that any Guarantors now or hereafter shall have against Borrowers, general partner of any Borrower that is a limited partnership or any other Guarantor by reason of any one 4 or more payments or acts of performance in compliance with the obligations of a Guarantor hereunder; (d) shall subordinate any liability or indebtedness of Borrowers, general partner of any Borrower that is a limited partnership or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor or any affiliate of a Guarantor to the obligations of Borrowers, general partner of any Borrower that is a limited partnership or Guarantor to Lender under the Loan Documents; and (e) shall not file, assert or receive payment on any claim, whether now existing or hereafter arising, against Borrowers, general partner of any Borrower that is a limited partnership or any Guarantor in the event of the commencement of a case by or against Borrowers, general partner of any Borrower that is a limited partnership or any Guarantor under federal or state insolvency laws. 10. Guarantors represent and warrant to Lender, with the knowledge that Lender is relying upon the same, as follows: (a) Guarantors are solvent and have the legal right to enter into this Agreement and to perform their obligations under the terms hereof; (b) to the best of Guarantors' knowledge, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or threatened against or affecting Guarantors at law, in equity, in admiralty or before any arbitrator or any governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality (domestic or foreign) that is likely to result in any material adverse change in the property, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of Guarantors or that is likely to impair materially the ability of Guarantors to perform their obligations under this Agreement; and (c) all financial statements that have heretofore been furnished by Guarantors to Lender in connection with this Agreement, are true, correct and complete; and fairly present the financial condition of Guarantors, all as of the respective dates thereof. 11. Guarantors and Lender acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection and enforcement in respect of any of the Guarantors' Obligations. 12. Lender may freely assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement, but any such assignment shall be made only to the subsequent holder of any of the Notes and no such assignment shall increase Guarantors' Obligations or diminish its rights hereunder. In the event of any such assignment, the consent of Guarantors shall not be required for any such assignment and failure to give notice of such assignment shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any such assignment or subject Lender to any liability and Guarantors shall continue to remain bound by and obligated to perform under and with respect to this Agreement. Guarantors shall not assign any of their obligations under this Agreement without the prior consent of the Lender. 13. The representations, warranties and obligations of Guarantor set forth in this Agreement shall survive until this Agreement shall terminate in accordance with the terms hereof. 14. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements relating to such subject matter and may not be modified, amended, supplemented or discharged except by a written agreement signed by Guarantors and Lender. This Agreement also may be discharged by full performance of the Guarantors' Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof, or as otherwise provided herein. 15. If all or any portion of any provision contained in this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, such provision or portion 5 thereof shall be deemed stricken and severed from this Agreement and the remaining provision and portions thereof shall continue in full force and effect. 16. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under or in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given or made (i) three (3) days after the date such notice is mailed, (ii) on the next Business Day if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, (iii) on the date of delivery by personal delivery and (iv) on the date of transmission if sent by telefax during business hours on a Business Day (otherwise the next Business Day).

This Agreement shall be binding upon Guarantors and their Successors and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns. 18. The failure of Lender to enforce any right or remedy hereunder, or promptly to enforce any such right or remedy, shall not constitute a waiver thereof, nor give rise to any estoppel against Lender, nor excuse Guarantors from their obligations hereunder. Any waiver of any such right or remedy to be enforceable against Lender must be expressly set forth in writing signed by Lender. 19. (a) Any suit initiated by Lender against Guarantors or in connection with or arising, directly or indirectly, out of or relating to, this Agreement (an "Action") may, at Lender's option, be brought in any state or federal court in the State of New York, or any state or federal court in which the property is located, having jurisdiction over the subject matter hereof. Guarantors hereby submit themselves to the jurisdiction of any such court and agree that service of process against Guarantors in any such action may be effected by any means permissible under federal law or under the laws of the state in which such Action is brought. Guarantors hereby agree that insofar as is permitted under applicable law, this consent to personal jurisdiction shall be self-operative and no further instrument or action, other than service of process in one of the manners specified in this Guaranty, or as otherwise permitted by law, shall be necessary in order to confer jurisdiction upon Guarantors. 6 (b) Guarantors agree that, provided that service of process is effected upon Guarantors in any manner permitted by law, Guarantors irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, (i) any objection that Guarantors may have or may hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any Action brought in any court as provided for by this Agreement, (ii) any claim that any Action brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, or (iii) any claim that Guarantors are not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court. Guarantors agree that, provided that service of process is effected upon Guarantors in one of the manners specified in this Guaranty or as otherwise permitted by law, a final judgment from which Guarantors have not appealed or may not appeal in any Action brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon Guarantors and may, so far as permitted under applicable law, be enforced in the courts of any state or any federal court or in any other courts to the jurisdiction of which it is subject, by a suit upon such judgment and that Guarantors shall not assert any defense, counterclaim or set-off in any such suit upon such judgment. (c) To the extent that Guarantors have or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment before judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to Guarantors or Guarantors' property, Guarantors hereby irrevocably waive such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement. (d) As a further inducement to Lender's making of the Loans to Borrowers, and in consideration thereof, Lender and Guarantors each covenant and agree that in any action or proceeding brought on, under or by virtue of this Agreement, Lender and Guarantors each shall and do hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waive trial by jury. (e) Guarantors hereby further covenant and agree to and with Lender that Guarantors may be joined in any action against Borrowers in connection with the Guarantor Loan Agreement, the Loan Agreements, the Notes, the Mortgages, or any of the other Loan Documents, solely with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. (f) Guarantors covenant and agree to indemnify and save Lender harmless of and from, and defend it against, all losses, costs, liabilities, expenses, damages or claims suffered by reason of Guarantors' failure to perform its obligations hereunder. 20. All of Lender's rights and remedies under the Guarantor Loan Agreement, the Loan Agreements, the Notes, the Mortgages or any of the other Loan Documents or under this Agreement are intended to be distinct, separate and cumulative and no such right or remedy therein or herein mentioned is intended to be in exclusion of or a waiver of any other right or remedy available to Lender. 21. Guarantors hereby consent that from time to time, before or after any default by Borrower, with or without further notice to or assent from Guarantors, any security at any time held by or available to Lender for any obligation of Borrowers, or any security at any time held by or available to Lender for any obligation of any other person or party secondarily or otherwise liable for all or any portion of the Loans, may be exchanged, surrendered or released and any obligation of Borrowers, or of any such other person or party, may be changed, altered, renewed, extended, continued, surrendered, compromised, waived or released in whole or in part, or any default with respect thereto waived, and Lender may fail to set off and may release, in whole or in part, any balance of any deposit account or credit on its books in favor of Borrowers, or of any such other person or party, and may extend further credit in any manner whatsoever to Borrowers, and generally deal with Borrowers or any such security or other person or party as Lender may see fit; and Guarantors shall remain bound under this Agreement 7 notwithstanding any such exchange, surrender, release, change, alteration, renewal, extension, continuance, compromise, waiver, action, inaction, extension of further credit or other dealing. This Agreement is independent of, and in addition to, all collateral granted, pledged or assigned under the Loan Documents. 22. The terms of this Agreement have been negotiated, and this Agreement has been executed and delivered in the State of New York, and it is the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of such State. 23. This Agreement may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought. 24. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, which together shall constitute the same instrument. 25. All representations, warranties, covenants (both affirmative and negative) and all other obligations under this Guaranty shall be the joint and several obligation of each of the Guarantors and any default under this Guaranty by any such Guarantor shall be deemed a default by all such Guarantors.

A. Hotel Manager has entered into a certain Management Agreement (each a "CONTRACT" and collectively, the "CONTRACTS") with each Borrower, a true, correct and complete copy of which has been delivered to Lender on or prior to the date hereof and the form of which is attached hereto as EXHIBIT A, providing for the performance by Hotel Manager of certain management obligations more particularly described therein with respect to the management and operation of the property as more particularly described therein (each, a "PROPERTY" and collectively, the "PROPERTIES"). B. This Agreement is being executed in order to amend each Contract, to conditionally assign each Borrower's interest therein to Lender, and to subordinate Hotel Manager's rights to payment under the Contracts to Lender's lien on the Properties in connection with Lender's making a loan to Borrowers and certain other borrowers (collectively, the "MORTGAGE BORROWERS") in the original principal amount of up to Sixty-One Million Five Hundred Sixteen Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($61,516,500) (the "LOAN") pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of even date herewith (as amended, modified or restated, the "LOAN AGREEMENT"), among Mortgage Borrowers and Lender. The Loan is evidenced by a certain Promissory Note, dated of even date herewith (as amended, modified or restated, and any replacements or substitutes therefor (by means of multiple notes or otherwise), (the "NOTE"), made by Mortgage Borrowers in favor of Lender and is secured by, among other things, those certain Mortgages/Deeds of Trust/Deeds to Secure Debt, Assignments of Leases and Rents and Security Agreements, dated as of even date herewith (as amended, modified, restated, spread or consolidated, collectively, the "SECURITY INSTRUMENT"), in favor of Lender (the Note, the Security Instrument, the Loan Agreement, this Agreement and all other documents executed in connection with the Loan are collectively referred to as the "LOAN DOCUMENTS"). All capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Loan Agreement, a copy of which Hotel Manager hereby acknowledges having received. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Hotel Manager and Borrowers hereby represent, warrant and covenant to Lender as follows: 1. As additional collateral security for the Loan, each Borrower hereby conditionally transfers, sets over and assigns to Lender all of such Borrower's right, title and interest in and to its Contract, said transfer and assignment to automatically become a present, unconditional assignment, at Lender's option, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default by Borrowers under any of the Loan Documents. 2. Hotel Manager hereby agrees that each Contract, all rights, interests and privileges of Hotel Manager thereunder, and all management fees and other payment obligations of each Borrower to Hotel Manager for services rendered by Hotel Manager for the management and operation of its Property, as such services are more particularly described in such Contract, are hereby subordinated to the Loan Documents and the liens in favor of Lender provided for therein, and to all rights of Lender to receive payment from Borrowers under the Note and all other amounts which may be due Lender under the Loan Documents. Hotel Manager recognizes and agrees that so long as the Note is being paid in strict accordance with its terms and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will by virtue of payments to Hotel Manager occur, Hotel Manager shall, subject to the requirements of the Loan Documents, including any such requirements governing management and application of the Properties and Borrower revenues and cash flow, be entitled to receive payments provided for under such Contract in accordance with the terms thereof. Hotel Manager hereby releases, discharges and waives any and all liens, claims, demands of any kind or nature, against each Property, either now or in the future, arising from the services provided by Hotel Manager for the management and operation of such Property. 3. In the event that such Borrower defaults under the terms of its Contract, Hotel Manager agrees that before exercising any rights or remedies with respect thereto, it will notify Lender of such default. Upon Lender's request, Hotel Manager will continue to perform under such Contract until such time as Lender may elect to terminate such Contract, provided that Hotel Manager shall continue to receive all fees payable to it under such Contract. Subject to the foregoing, Hotel Manager agrees that it shall not be entitled to receive any management fee or other fee, commission or other amount payable under the Contract or otherwise for and during any period of time that any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, provided that Hotel Manager shall not be obligated to return or refund to Lender any management fee or other fee, commission or other amount already received by Hotel Manager prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default, and to which Hotel Manager was entitled under paragraph 2 above. In all events, Hotel Manager recognizes that the maximum amount that shall be due and payable under each Contract is the amount stated therein (such amount being adequate to complete the services called for in such Contract), and that Hotel Manager will not claim any incidental, consequential, or exemplary damages of any nature as a condition to completing its performance under the Contract. 4. In the event that (a) Hotel Manager becomes insolvent, or (b) an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, or (c) any default occurs by Hotel Manager under the Management Agreement beyond the expiration of any notice and cure periods, or (d) any other event occurs which, under the terms of the Loan Documents, entitles Lender to direct Borrower to replace Hotel Manager, Lender may exercise its rights under the Loan Documents and direct any Borrower to terminate its Contract and/or to replace Hotel Manager with a management company chosen by such Borrower and reasonably acceptable to Lender. Upon receiving notice 2 of any such election, Hotel Manager shall abide by such direction to terminate and cooperate with any replacement manager approved or designated by Lender. No termination fee or other compensation shall be due or owing under such Contract as a result of any such termination other than accrued unpaid fees. 5. Without limiting the foregoing, subject to the second sentence of paragraph 3 hereof, in the event Lender forecloses or otherwise succeeds to the rights of any Borrower with respect to any Property, Lender shall have the option upon written notice to Hotel Manager delivered within thirty (30) days following foreclosure by Lender or other acquisition of such Property by Lender, either to (a) terminate the applicable Contract without any obligation or liability of Lender to pay the termination fees, if any; or (b) continue such Contract in effect upon all of the terms and provisions provided in such Contract, except that Lender shall have no obligation to pay any sums due and owing under the Contract as of the date of foreclosure or other acquisition of such Property, and Lender shall have the right after it elects to continue such Contract under subparagraph (b) hereof to terminate such Contract without cause upon thirty (30) days written notice to Hotel Manager without any obligation or liability of Lender to pay the termination fees, if any other than accrued unpaid fees. Hotel Manager acknowledges and agrees with Lender that Lender has not assumed any obligations or liabilities of such Borrower to Hotel Manager under such Contract. If Lender chooses not to continue any Contract following a foreclosure or other acquisition of any Property, the only compensation from Lender for which Hotel Manager shall be entitled under such Contract shall be for the period commencing with the date of such foreclosure or other acquisition and ending upon the subsequent termination by Lender of such Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in the event Lender forecloses or otherwise succeeds to the rights of any Borrower with respect to its Property, upon Lender's request, Hotel Manager agrees to transfer and assign to Lender, or its designee, to the extent possible, all applicable licenses (including, without limitation, each liquor license and beer permit), permits and approvals required for the use, occupancy, operation and maintenance of each of the Property and held by or in the name of Hotel Manager, and, if requested by Lender and permitted by applicable law, enter into such reasonable concession or use agreements with Lender or its designee (subject to appropriate indemnification) as are reasonably necessary to allow Lender or its designee to offer, or cause to be offered, liquor and beer for sale at such Property. For this purpose, Hotel Manager constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the assignment of each of the items referenced in the preceding sentence in the name of Hotel Manager pursuant to this paragraph 5. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. 6. Hotel Manager agrees (a) not to resign as Hotel Manager without ninety (90) days prior written notice to Lender, and (b) not to amend any Contract in any material respect without Lender's prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 7. Hotel Manager acknowledges and agrees that any and all rents, room rents, credit card receipts, other receipts, profits or other sums, including any management fees in excess of the management fees to which Hotel Manager is entitled pursuant to paragraph 2 hereof, and receipts derived from the sale of alcoholic beverages (collectively herein called "PROPERTY PROCEEDS") collected or received by Hotel Manager from the Properties are subject to 3 a security interest of Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, and shall be collected and held by Hotel Manager in trust for the benefit of the applicable Borrower and Lender. Any such Property Proceeds shall be deposited by Hotel Manager within two (2) Business Days of receipt into a deposit account (the "DEPOSIT ACCOUNT") in the name of the Lender and identified in that certain Deposit Account Agreement or other similar agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, modified, replaced or supplemented from time to time, each, a "DEPOSIT ACCOUNT AGREEMENT") among the applicable Borrower, Lender, Hotel Manager and the bank named therein. Upon transfer of any such Property Proceeds to Hotel Manager from the Lock Box Account (as defined in that certain Cash Management Agreement dated as of even date herewith (as amended, restated, modified, replaced or supplemented from time to time, the "CASH MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT"), among Mortgage Borrowers, Lender, Hotel Manager and Wachovia Bank, National Association) as directed by the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Cash Management Agreement, such Property Proceeds shall be used by Hotel Manager for proper expenses and costs of managing and operating the applicable Property as permitted under the applicable Contract, subject, in all instances, to compliance with the Operating Budget and FF&E Budget then in effect and limitations on distributions to Borrowers, each as more fully described in the Loan Agreement. Hotel Manager hereby disclaims any and all interests in the Deposit Account, the Lock Box Account (and any Sub-Accounts thereof), the Property Operating Account and in any of the Property Proceeds. Upon written notice from Lender that an Event of Default has occurred under the Loan Agreement and/or other Loan Documents, Hotel Manager agrees to apply Property Proceeds as instructed by Lender. 8. Hotel Manager represents and warrants that (a) a true, correct and complete copy of each Contract has been delivered to Lender on or prior to the date hereof, the form of which is attached hereto as EXHIBIT A, (b) each Contract is in full force and effect and has not been modified, amended or assigned, except in favor of Lender or its predecessor-in-interest (c) neither Hotel Manager nor, to Hotel Manager's knowledge, any Borrower is in default under any of the terms, covenants or provisions of its Contract, and Hotel Manager knows of no event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a default under any Contract, (d) Hotel Manager has no knowledge of and has not commenced any action or given or received any notice for the purpose of terminating any Contract, and (e) all management fees, commissions and other sums due and payable to the Hotel Manager under each Contract as of the date hereof have been paid in full. 9.

A. Hotel Manager has entered into a certain Management Agreement (each a "CONTRACT" and collectively, the "CONTRACTS") with each Borrower, a true, correct and complete copy of which has been delivered to Lender on or prior to the date hereof and the form of which is attached hereto as EXHIBIT A, providing for the performance by Hotel Manager of certain management obligations more particularly described therein with respect to the management and operation of the property as more particularly described therein (each, a "PROPERTY" and collectively, the "PROPERTIES"). B. This Agreement is being executed in order to amend each Contract, to conditionally assign each Borrower's interest therein to Lender, and to subordinate Hotel Manager's rights to payment under the Contracts to Lender's lien on the Properties in connection with Lender's making a loan to Borrowers and certain other borrowers (collectively, the "MORTGAGE BORROWERS") in the original principal amount of up to Sixty-One Million Five Hundred Sixteen Thousand Five Hundred And No/100 Dollars ($61,516,500)(the "LOAN") pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of even date herewith (as amended, modified or restated, the "LOAN AGREEMENT"), among Mortgage Borrowers and Lender. The Loan is evidenced by a certain Promissory Note, dated of even date herewith (as amended, modified or restated, and any replacements or substitutes therefor (by means of multiple notes or otherwise), the "NOTE"), made by Mortgage Borrowers in favor of Lender and is secured by, among other things, those certain Mortgages/Deeds of Trust/Deeds to Secure Debt, Assignments of Leases and Rents and Security Agreements, dated as of even date herewith (as amended, modified, restated, spread or consolidated, collectively, the "SECURITY INSTRUMENT"), in favor of Lender (the Note, the Security Instrument, the Loan Agreement, this Agreement and all other documents executed in connection with the Loan are collectively referred to as the "LOAN DOCUMENTS"). All capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Loan Agreement, a copy of which Hotel Manager hereby acknowledges having received. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Hotel Manager and Borrowers hereby represent, warrant and covenant to Lender as follows: 1. As additional collateral security for the Loan, each Borrower hereby conditionally transfers, sets over and assigns to Lender all of such Borrower's right, title and interest in and to its Contract, said transfer and assignment to automatically become a present, unconditional assignment, at Lender's option, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default by Borrowers under any of the Loan Documents. 2. Hotel Manager hereby agrees that each Contract, all rights, interests and privileges of Hotel Manager thereunder, and all management fees and other payment obligations of each Borrower to Hotel Manager for services rendered by Hotel Manager for the management and operation of its Property, as such services are more particularly described in such Contract, are hereby subordinated to the Loan Documents and the liens in favor of Lender provided for therein, and to all rights of Lender to receive payment from Borrowers under the Note and all other amounts which may be due Lender under the Loan Documents. Hotel Manager recognizes and agrees that so long as the Note is being paid in strict accordance with its terms and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will by virtue of payments to Hotel Manager occur, Hotel Manager shall, subject to the requirements of the Loan Documents, including any such requirements governing management and application of the Properties and Borrower revenues and cash flow, be entitled to receive payments provided for under such Contract in accordance with the terms thereof. Hotel Manager hereby releases, discharges and waives any and all liens, claims, demands of any kind or nature, against each Property, either now or in the future, arising from the services provided by Hotel Manager for the management and operation of such Property. 3. In the event that such Borrower defaults under the terms of its Contract, Hotel Manager agrees that before exercising any rights or remedies with respect thereto, it will notify Lender of such default. Upon Lender's request, Hotel Manager will continue to perform under such Contract until such time as Lender may elect to terminate such Contract, provided that Hotel Manager shall continue to receive all fees payable to it under such Contract. Subject to the foregoing, Hotel Manager agrees that it shall not be entitled to receive any management fee or other fee, commission or other amount payable under the Contract or otherwise for and during any period of time that any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, provided that Hotel Manager shall not be obligated to return or refund to Lender any management fee or other fee, commission or other amount already received by Hotel Manager prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default, and to which Hotel Manager was entitled under paragraph 2 above. In all events, Hotel Manager recognizes that the maximum amount that shall be due and payable under each Contract is the amount stated therein (such amount being adequate to complete the services called for in such Contract), and that Hotel Manager will not claim any incidental, consequential, or exemplary damages of any nature as a condition to completing its performance under the Contract. 4. In the event that (a) Hotel Manager becomes insolvent, or (b) an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, or (c) any default occurs by Hotel Manager under the Management Agreement beyond the expiration of any notice and cure periods, or (d) any other event occurs which, under the terms of the Loan Documents, entitles Lender to direct Borrower to replace Hotel Manager, Lender may exercise its rights under the Loan Documents and direct any Borrower to terminate its Contract and/or to replace Hotel Manager with a management 2 company chosen by such Borrower and reasonably acceptable to Lender. Upon receiving notice of any such election, Hotel Manager shall abide by such direction to terminate and cooperate with any replacement manager approved or designated by Lender. No termination fee or other compensation shall be due or owing under such Contract as a result of any such termination other than accrued unpaid fees. 5. Without limiting the foregoing, subject to the second sentence of paragraph 3 hereof, in the event Lender forecloses or otherwise succeeds to the rights of any Borrower with respect to any Property, Lender shall have the option upon written notice to Hotel Manager delivered within thirty (30) days following foreclosure by Lender or other acquisition of such Property by Lender, either to (a) terminate the applicable Contract without any obligation or liability of Lender to pay the termination fees, if any; or (b) continue such Contract in effect upon all of the terms and provisions provided in such Contract, except that Lender shall have no obligation to pay any sums due and owing under the Contract as of the date of foreclosure or other acquisition of such Property, and Lender shall have the right after it elects to continue such Contract under subparagraph (b) hereof to terminate such Contract without cause upon thirty (30) days written notice to Hotel Manager without any obligation or liability of Lender to pay the termination fees, if any other than accrued unpaid fees. Hotel Manager acknowledges and agrees with Lender that Lender has not assumed any obligations or liabilities of such Borrower to Hotel Manager under such Contract. If Lender chooses not to continue any Contract following a foreclosure or other acquisition of any Property, the only compensation from Lender for which Hotel Manager shall be entitled under such Contract shall be for the period commencing with the date of such foreclosure or other acquisition and ending upon the subsequent termination by Lender of such Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in the event Lender forecloses or otherwise succeeds to the rights of any Borrower with respect to its Property, upon Lender's request, Hotel Manager agrees to transfer and assign to Lender, or its designee, to the extent possible, all applicable licenses (including, without limitation, each liquor license and beer permit), permits and approvals required for the use, occupancy, operation and maintenance of each of the Property and held by or in the name of Hotel Manager, and, if requested by Lender and permitted by applicable law, enter into such reasonable concession or use agreements with Lender or its designee (subject to appropriate indemnification) as are reasonably necessary to allow Lender or its designee to offer, or cause to be offered, liquor and beer for sale at such Property. For this purpose, Hotel Manager constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the assignment of each of the items referenced in the preceding sentence in the name of Hotel Manager pursuant to this paragraph 5. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. 6. Hotel Manager agrees (a) not to resign as Hotel Manager without ninety (90) days prior written notice to Lender, and (b) not to amend any Contract in any material respect without Lender's prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 7.

Borrower and Lender have entered into a certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified or restated from time to time, the "LOAN AGREEMENT"), pursuant to which Lender has agreed to make a loan to Borrower as more particularly described below. Capitalized terms used herein and not herein defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Loan Agreement. C. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Lender is making a Loan to Borrower in the aggregate original principal amount of up to $61,516,500 (the "LOAN"). The Loan is evidenced by a certain Promissory Note, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified or restated from time to time, the "NOTE") and secured by, inter alia, those certain Mortgages/Deeds of Trust/Deeds to Secure Debt, Assignments of Leases and Rents and Security Agreements, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified or restated from time to time, collectively, the "SECURITY INSTRUMENT"), with respect to the Property and Improvements.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the sum of Ten Dollars ($10) and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Borrower hereby absolutely grants a first lien on and security interest in, and hereby assigns, transfers and sets over to Lender as additional security for the payment of the Loan and the observance and performance by the Borrower of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Loan Documents on the part of the Borrower to be observed or performed, all of the Borrower's right, title and interest in and to the following: (a) to the extent assignable, all of Borrower's right, title and interest in, to and under the documents, contracts, instruments, plans, permits, licenses (including, without limitation, all liquor licenses and other beverage permits), approvals, applications, trade names and trademarks (including, without limitation, any licenses of, or agreements to license, trade names or trademarks now or hereafter entered into by or on behalf of Borrower or Manager in connection with the operation of the Property), insurance policies, equipment leases, purchase and sale agreements, and other instruments described or existing with respect to the Property or any portion thereof, and any amendments or modifications thereto, any replacements thereof executed during the term of the Note and any other similar documents or instruments with respect to the Property or any portion thereof, now in existence or hereafter executed by Borrower or now in the possession of Borrower or hereafter obtained by Borrower (collectively, the "DOCUMENTS"); (b) to the extent assignable, all rights, powers, privileges, claims, remedies and causes of action of every kind which Borrower now has or may in the future have with respect to or by reason of its interest in the Documents; and (c) to the extent assignable, any and all proceeds (including non-cash proceeds) of any of the foregoing (the items enumerated in the preceding subparagraphs (a) and (b) and in this subparagraph (c) being hereinafter collectively referred to as the "COLLATERAL"). 1. This Assignment is given to secure the obligations of Borrower under and in respect of (a) the Note and (b) the other Loan Documents. The parties intend that this Assignment shall be a present, actual, absolute and unconditional assignment and shall, immediately upon execution, give Lender the right to assume Borrower's interest in the Collateral; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall have a license to utilize the Collateral in accordance with the terms thereof. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under any of the Loan Documents, Borrower's license mentioned in the immediately preceding sentence shall cease and terminate, without the execution of any further instrument or document or the taking of any other act on the part of Lender, and in such event, subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender shall be entitled to utilize the Collateral in Borrower's place and stead, in the name of Borrower or otherwise, and in furtherance thereof, subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender may enter upon the Property and take possession of the Property by its officers, agents or employees, or by a court-appointed receiver, and for the operation, protection, repair and maintenance of the Property, and in connection therewith, Lender shall be entitled to take possession of and use all books of account and financial records of Borrower and its property managers or representatives relating to the Property. 2. Neither this Assignment nor any action or inaction on the part of Lender shall constitute an assumption on the part of Lender of any duty or obligation with respect to the Collateral, nor shall Lender have any duty or obligation to make any payment to be made by Borrower under the Collateral, or to present or file any claim, or to take any other action to -2- collect or enforce the payment of any amounts or the performance of any obligations which have been assigned to Lender or to which it may be entitled hereunder at any time or times. No action or inaction on the part of Lender shall adversely affect or limit in any way the rights of Lender hereunder or under the Collateral, and Lender shall not incur any liability on account of any action taken (or not taken) by it or on its behalf in connection with the Collateral in good faith, whether or not the same shall prove to be improper, inadequate or invalid, in whole or in part. 3.

Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each of the Contracting Parties to rely upon and comply with any notice or demand by Lender for the performance by any such Contracting Party of its obligations under any Document for the benefit of Lender, and no Contracting Party shall have any right or duty to inquire whether an Event of Default has actually occurred, and Borrower shall have no right to countermand its authorization herein to the Contracting Parties to perform for the benefit of Lender. 6.

Borrower, at its expense, shall execute and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as Lender, from time to time, may reasonably request in order to obtain the full benefits of this Assignment and of the rights and powers herein created and to maintain and perfect the security interest granted in this Assignment.

Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Lender is making a Loan to Borrower in the aggregate original principal amount of up to $61,516,500 (the "LOAN"). The Loan is evidenced by a certain Promissory Note, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified, restated or split from time to time, the "NOTE") and secured by, inter alia, those certain Mortgages/Deeds of Trust/Deeds to Secure Debt, Assignments of Leases and Rents and Security Agreements, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified or restated from time to time, collectively, the "SECURITY INSTRUMENT"), with respect to the Property. D. As a condition to Lender's making the Loan, Lender is requiring that Indemnitors indemnify the Indemnified Parties (as hereinafter defined) with respect to environmental conditions or liabilities on, in, under or affecting the Property as hereinafter set forth. E. Obligor holds a direct and/or indirect ownership interest in Borrower and will derive substantial economic benefit from Lender making the Loan to Borrower. NOW, THEREFORE, to induce Lender to extend the Loan to Borrower and in consideration of the foregoing premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Indemnitors hereby covenant and agree for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties as follows: 1. DEFINITIONS. The following terms shall have the following meanings when used herein: "COSTS" shall mean, collectively, all liens, damages, losses, fines, liabilities (including, without limitation, any strict liability), obligations, settlements, penalties, assessments, citations, directives, claims, litigations, demands, response costs (including, without limitation, investigation, removal, remediation, mitigation, containment, post-closure and monitoring costs), defenses, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, laboratory fees, disbursements and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys', consultants' and experts' fees and disbursements). Costs shall also include any future reduction in sales price of, or unmarketability and consequent inability of Lender to foreclose on or otherwise sell, the Property and the lost opportunity costs resulting from the inability of Lender to sell or dispose of its interest in the Property, all as a consequence of any event described in paragraph 2 herein to the extent that such loss in value results in Lender receiving in any foreclosure, or deed in lieu thereof, of the Properties less than the full amount of the Obligations by reason of any matter set forth in Section 2. "ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS" shall have the meaning given to such term in the Loan Agreement. "HAZARDOUS MATERIAL" shall have the meaning given to such term in the Loan Agreement. "INDEMNIFIED PARTY" shall mean Lender, any subsequent holder of the Note and each of their officers, directors, shareholders, principals, partners, representatives, employees, agents, successors and assigns. "TENANTS" shall mean all tenants, lessees, subtenants and other occupants of the Property. 2. INDEMNITY. (a) Except as provided in Section 2(b) below, Indemnitors hereby assume liability for, and agree to pay, protect, defend, indemnify and save all Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all Costs which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or awarded against any of the Indemnified Parties or the Property, and arising directly or indirectly from: (i) the violation or alleged violation of any Environmental Laws relating to or affecting the Property, whether or not caused by or within the control of Indemnitors; (ii) the actual or alleged presence, release or threat of release of, or exposure to any Hazardous Material on, in, under or affecting all or any portion of the Property or any surrounding areas, regardless of whether or not caused by or within the control of Indemnitors; (iii) any actual or alleged personal injury or property damage arising out of or related to Hazardous Material on the Property; (iv) any acts or omissions that exacerbate an existing condition at the Property and give 2 rise to liability under any Environmental Law; (v) the failure by Indemnitors to comply fully with the terms and conditions of this Agreement in all material respects; (vi) a material breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement; (vii) the enforcement of this Agreement; or (viii) assessment, investigation, containment, monitoring, remediation and/or removal of any and all Hazardous Material from the Property or any surrounding areas, and costs incurred to comply with Environmental Laws in connection with the Property or any surrounding areas. (b) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, Indemnitors shall have no liability under this Agreement with respect to Costs relating to Hazardous Material which is initially placed on, in or under the Property after the earlier of (i) Lender or any receiver appointed at the request of Lender taking actual possession and control of the Property following an Event of Default, and (ii) Lender completing a foreclosure or other sale pursuant to which Lender takes title to the Property. Indemnitors shall have no liability under this Agreement to any Indemnified Party with respect to Costs which result from such Indemnified Party's willful misconduct or gross negligence. In addition to the foregoing, Obligor shall have no liability pursuant to this Agreement with respect to costs relating to Hazardous Material which is initially placed on, in or under the Property after the transfer of the Mezzanine Borrowers' equity interest in the applicable Borrower to the Mezzanine Lender or its designee by reason of, or in lieu of, enforcement of the Mezzanine Lender's rights under the Mezzanine Loan Documents. (c) Indemnitors' obligation to defend the Indemnified Parties hereunder shall include defense at both the trial and appellate levels and shall be with attorneys, consultants and experts selected by Indemnitor and subject to the reasonable approval of the Indemnified Parties. 3. REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING HAZARDOUS MATERIAL. Indemnitors hereby represent and warrant to agree with the Indemnified Parties as follows: (a) Indemnitors, the Property and all businesses or operations conducted thereon are in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws in all material respects; (b) Except as previously disclosed to Lender in the Phase I Reports, no Hazardous Material has been disposed of on or released (as used herein, "RELEASE" shall have the meaning provided in 42 U.S.C. Section 9601(22)) at, onto or under the Property by any Indemnitor or, to Indemnitors' knowledge, by any other Person that has not been remediated in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws or that is present at or under the Property at a level in excess of that allowed by applicable Environmental Laws; (c) Except as previously disclosed to Lender in the Phase I Reports, no Hazardous Material is located in, on or under, or has been handled, generated, stored, processed or discharged from the Property in violation of applicable Environmental Laws by any Indemnitor or, to the Indemnitors' knowledge, by any other Person, except for those materials used by Borrowers, Manager or tenants of the Property ("TENANTS") in the ordinary course of their business in material compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and not reasonably expected to give rise to liability under applicable Environmental Laws; 3 (d) Indemnitors have received no written notice that the Property is subject to any private or governmental lien or judicial or administrative notice or action relating to or arising under applicable Environmental Laws; (e) Except as previously disclosed to Lender in the Phase I Reports, there are no underground storage receptacles or surface impoundments, landfills or dumps for Hazardous Material on the Property; (f) Indemnitors have received no notice of, and to Indemnitors' knowledge there exists no investigation, action, proceeding or claim by any agency, authority or unit of government or by any third party asserted or threatened which could result in any liability, penalty, sanction or judgment under any applicable Environmental Laws with respect to any condition, use or operation of the Property, nor do Indemnitors know of any basis for any of the foregoing; (g) Except as previously disclosed to Lender in the Phase I Reports or the Property Condition Reports, there is no asbestos-containing material or lead-based paint at the Property nor are there any polychlorinated biphenyls ("PCB'S"), endangered species' habitats or wetlands at the Property; (h) Indemnitors have received no notice that, and to Indemnitors' knowledge, there has been no claim by any party that, any use, operation or condition of the Property has caused any nuisance or any other liability or adverse condition on any other property nor do Indemnitors know of any basis for such a claim relating to Hazardous Material; (i) Except as previously disclosed in writing to Lender, Indemnitor has not knowingly waived or released any Person's liability with regard to Hazardous Material in, on, under or around the Property nor retained or assumed, contractually or otherwise, any other Person's liability relative to Hazardous Material or any claim, action or proceeding relating thereto; and (j) Except as previously disclosed to Lender in the Phase I Reports, neither the Property nor any other property owned by any Borrower (i) is included or, to Indemnitor's knowledge, proposed for inclusion on the National Priorities List issued pursuant to CERCLA (hereinafter defined) by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") or on any of the inventories of other potential "Problem" sites issued by the EPA or other applicable Governmental Authority nor (ii) otherwise identified by the EPA as a potential CERCLA site or included or, to Indemnitor's knowledge, proposed for inclusion on any such list or inventory issued pursuant to any other applicable Environmental Law or issued by any other Governmental Authority. 4. COVENANTS OF INDEMNITORS. (a) So long as any Borrower or Affiliate thereof owns or is in possession of the Property, Indemnitors shall, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all property managers, agents, employees and Tenants to: (i) comply with all Environmental Laws applicable to the Property, (ii) keep or cause the Property to be kept free from Hazardous Material (except those materials used by Borrower, Manager or Tenants in the ordinary course of 4 their business, in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws), (iii) not install or use, or permit the installation or use of, any underground receptacles containing Hazardous Material on the Property, (iv) expressly prohibit the use, generation, handling, storage, production, release, processing and disposal of Hazardous Material by all future Tenants and Managers (except those substances used by such Tenants or Managers in the ordinary course of their business in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws) and use all commercially reasonable efforts to prevent existing Tenants, Managers and other permitted occupants of the Property from taking any such actions, (v) in any event, not install on the Property or permit to be installed on the Property PCB's, urea formaldehyde insulation, asbestos or any substance containing asbestos or any material containing lead-based paint, (vi) prohibit the disposal and/or release of any Hazardous Material in violation of applicable Environmental Laws on, at or beneath, the Property, (vii) operate and maintain, or cause to be operated and maintained, the HVAC systems at the Property in accordance with standards for operation of similar systems located at properties that are similar (including, without limitation, the manner, class of operation, and/or Franchisor standards) to the Property, (viii) cause the Required Capital Improvements which relate to mold to be completed in accordance with the standards and time frames set forth in Section 6.5 of the Loan Agreement, and (ix) not permit any Lien imposed pursuant to any applicable Environmental Law to be imposed or, subject to Section 4(c) below, to remain on the Property. (b) Indemnitors shall promptly notify Lender in writing should any Indemnitor become aware of (i) any release, disposal or discharge of Hazardous Material in violation of applicable Environmental Laws, or other material actual environmental problem or liability, with respect to or affecting the Property, (ii) any lien, action or notice of violation or potential liability affecting the Property or Borrowers and arising under any applicable Environmental Law, (iii) the institution of any investigation, inquiry or proceeding concerning Borrowers or the Property pursuant to any applicable Environmental Law or otherwise relating to Hazardous Material affecting the Property, (iv) the discovery of any occurrence, condition or state of facts which would render any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement incorrect or incomplete in any material respect if made at the time of such discovery, (v) any remedial action taken by Indemnitors or, if actually known by Indemnitor, any other Person in response to any Hazardous Material on, under or at the Property, (vi) the discovery by Indemnitors of any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Property that would reasonably be expected to cause the Property or any part thereof to be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, transferability or use thereof under any applicable Environmental Laws, and (vii) any request for information from any governmental agency that indicates such agency is investigating whether Indemnitors may be potentially responsible for a release, disposal or discharge of Hazardous Material. Borrowers shall promptly notify Lender of any proposed action to be taken pertaining in any way to the Property to commence any operations that could reasonably be expected to subject any Borrower or the Property to additional obligations or liabilities under applicable Environmental Laws, including laws, rules and regulations requiring additional or amended environmental permits or licenses which could reasonably be expected to subject any Borrower to any material obligations or requirements under any applicable Environmental Laws. Borrowers shall, at their own expense, provide copies of such documents or information as Lender may reasonably request in relation to any matters disclosed pursuant to this Section. Indemnitor shall promptly transmit to Lender 5 copies of any and all material citations, orders, notices and all other communications sent or received by any Borrower relating to any of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph. (c) Regardless of the source of contamination, Indemnitors shall, at their own expense, promptly take or cause to be taken and diligently prosecute all actions required by applicable Environmental Laws for the clean-up of the Property and other property affected by contamination in, on, under or at the Property, including, without limitation, all investigative, monitoring, removal, containment and remedial actions in accordance with and required by all applicable Environmental Laws (and in all events in a manner satisfactory to the applicable Governmental Authority and reasonably satisfactory to Lender). Indemnitor shall further pay or cause to be paid, at no expense to any Indemnified Party, all clean-up, administrative and enforcement costs of applicable governmental agencies which may be asserted against the Property. In the event Indemnitors fail to do so, or following an Event of Default, Lender may, at its sole election, cause the Property or other affected property to be freed from any Hazardous Material located thereon at a level in excess of that allowed by applicable Environmental Laws, or otherwise be brought into compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, and any cost incurred in connection therewith shall be included in Costs. Borrowers hereby grant to Lender access to the Property and an irrevocable license to remove any Hazardous Material and to do all things necessary to bring the Property into compliance in all material respects with applicable Environmental Laws. However, Lender shall have no obligation to inspect or clean up any Hazardous Material. Lender shall not be deemed a generator of any Hazardous Material removed from the Property. (d) Upon the request of Lender, at any time (i) after the occurrence of an Event of Default or (ii) Lender has reasonable grounds to believe that (A) Hazardous Material is or has been released, stored or disposed of, or existing, on or around the Property at a level in excess of that allowed by applicable Environmental Laws or (B) the Property may be in material violation of applicable Environmental Laws, Indemnitors shall cause an investigation or audit of the Property to be undertaken by a hydrogeologist or environmental engineer or other appropriate consultant reasonably approved by Lender to determine whether any Hazardous Material is located on, at, beneath, or near the Property and/or whether the Property is in compliance in all material respects with Environmental Laws. The scope of any investigation or audit shall be approved by Lender in Lender's reasonable discretion. If Indemnitors fail to provide reports of such investigation or audit within thirty (30) days after such request, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, order the same. Borrowers hereby grant to Lender and Lender's contractors access to the Property and an irrevocable license to undertake such investigation or audit provided that such investigation is conducted in a manner so as not to unreasonably affect Borrowers' operations at the Property. All reasonable costs of any such investigation or audit shall be included in Costs and shall be paid by Indemnitors in accordance with the terms of paragraph 5(c) hereof. (e) In the event that a Lien is filed against the Property pursuant to any applicable Environmental Law, Indemnitors shall, within ten (10) Business Days from the date that any Borrower receives notice of such Lien (but in any event ten (10) days prior to the date of any contemplated sale pursuant to such Lien), either (i) pay the claim and remove the Lien from the Property, or (ii) furnish, at Indemnitor's option, (A) a bond satisfactory to Lender in the amount of the claim out of which the Lien arises, (B) a cash deposit in the amount of the claim 6 out of which the Lien arises, (C) other security reasonably satisfactory to Lender in an amount sufficient to discharge the claim out of which the Lien arises, or (D) security in a form and amount satisfactory to the applicable Governmental Authority pursuant to a valid consent or other order, and Indemnitors shall promptly arrange for the removal of the Lien. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnitors shall prevent a sale pursuant to any Lien. (f) The amount of Indemnitors' liability hereunder is unrelated to the amount of the Loan and any failure of the Loan to be repaid in full. The enforcement of this Agreement by the Indemnified Parties shall not be construed by Indemnitors as an indirect attempt to recover any Loan deficiency or loss relating to the failure of the Loan to be repaid in full. Indemnitors acknowledge that they may have liability hereunder even if the Loan is repaid in full by reason of a full credit bid at any foreclosure sale under the Security Instrument, and that the amount of Indemnitor's liability hereunder could exceed the entire amount paid by Borrower for the Property. 5. INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES. (a) If any action, proceeding, litigation or claim shall be brought or asserted against any Indemnified Party for any matter which the Indemnified Parties are indemnified hereunder (each, a "CLAIM"), such Indemnified Party shall notify Indemnitors in writing thereof and Indemnitors shall promptly assume the defense thereof, including, without limitation, the employment of counsel selected by the Indemnitor and approved by the Indemnified Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and the negotiation of any settlement. Any failure of such Indemnified Party to notify Indemnitors of such matter shall not impair or reduce the obligations of Indemnitors hereunder. The Indemnified Parties shall have the right, at the reasonable expense of Indemnitors (which expense shall be included in Costs), if an Indemnified Party has reason to believe that its interests are not being adequately represented or diverge from other interests being represented by such counsel, to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof at such Indemnitor's sole cost and expense. In the event Indemnitors shall fail to discharge or undertake to defend any Indemnified Party against any Claim, such failure shall constitute an Event of Default and the Indemnified Party may, at its sole election, defend or settle such Claim. The liability of Indemnitors to such Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement by such Indemnified Party shall be conclusively established by any settlement entered into by the Indemnified Party in good faith. The amount of Indemnitors' liability hereunder shall include the settlement consideration and all other Costs, which shall be paid by the Indemnitors as hereinafter provided. Costs incurred in connection with a Claim shall be reimbursed by Indemnitors without the requirement of waiting for the ultimate outcome of such Claim. (b) Indemnitors shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, settle or compromise any Claim in any manner or consent to the entry of any judgment (i) in which the claimant or plaintiff does not unconditionally release the Indemnified Party from all liability and obligations in respect of such Claim and obtain a dismissal of such Claim with prejudice; or (ii) that may adversely affect the Indemnified Party (as determined in the reasonable discretion of such Indemnified Party) or obligate the Indemnified Party to pay any sum or perform any obligation. 7 (c) Indemnitors shall pay to the applicable Indemnified Party any and all Costs within fifteen (15) days after written notice from such Indemnified Party. All Costs shall be immediately reimbursable to the Indemnified Party or, upon request of the Indemnified Party, paid directly to the party sending a bill or other statement to the Indemnified Party. Any Costs not paid within the aforementioned fifteen (15) day period shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date incurred until the date paid in full. 6. REINSTATEMENT OF OBLIGATIONS. If at any time all or any part of any payment received by an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Indemnitor, then the obligations of Indemnitors hereunder shall, to the extent of such rescinded or returned payment, be reinstated and shall continue as though such previous payment received by the Indemnified Party had never occurred. 7. WAIVERS BY INDEMNITORS. To the extent permitted by law, Indemnitors hereby waive and agree not to assert or take advantage of: (a) Any right to require an Indemnified Party (i) to proceed against Borrower or any other Person, (ii) to proceed against or exhaust any security held by any Indemnified Party at any time or (iii) to pursue any other remedy in such Indemnified Party's power or under any other agreement, in any case, before proceeding against Indemnitors hereunder; (b) Any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other Person or the failure of an Indemnified Party to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other Person; (c) Demand, presentment for payment, protest and notice of protest, demand, dishonor and nonpayment and all other notices except as expressly required in the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, notice of new or additional indebtedness or obligations or of any action or non-action on the part of Borrower, Lender, any endorser or creditor of Borrower or of Indemnitor or of any other Person whomsoever under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (d) Any defense based upon an election of remedies, splitting a cause of action or merger of judgments by any Indemnified Party; (e) Any right or claim of right to cause a marshaling of the assets of Indemnitors; (f) Any principle or provision of law, statutory or otherwise, which is or might be in conflict with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; (g) Any duty on the part of any Indemnified Party to disclose to Indemnitors any facts such Indemnified Party may now or hereafter know about Borrower or the Property, regardless of whether such Indemnified Party (i) has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Indemnitors intend to assume, (ii) has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Indemnitors or (iii) has a reasonable opportunity to 8 communicate such facts to Indemnitors, it being understood and agreed that Indemnitors are fully responsible for being informed of the financial condition of Borrower, the condition of the Property and of all other circumstances bearing on the risk that liability may be incurred by Indemnitors hereunder; (h) Any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any one or more of the Loan Documents; (i) Any lack of commercial reasonableness in dealing with the collateral for the Loan; (j) Any deficiencies in the collateral for the Loan or any deficiency in the ability of Lender to collect or to obtain performance from any Persons now or hereafter liable for the payment and performance of any obligation hereby guaranteed; (k) An assertion or claim that the automatic stay provided by 11 U.S.C. Section 362 (arising upon the voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding of Borrower) or any other stay provided under any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, shall operate or be interpreted to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any of its rights, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, which Lender may have against any Indemnitor or the collateral for the Loan; (l) Any modifications of the Loan Documents or any obligation of Borrower relating to the Loan by operation of law or by action of any court, whether pursuant to the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, or otherwise; (m) Any action, occurrence, event or matter consented to by Indemnitors under Section 8(j) hereof, under any other provision hereof, or otherwise; and (n) the failure of any representation and/or warranties made by Borrower, Indemnitor or any other party to be true, complete or correct when given, or at any time thereafter. Indemnitors covenant and agree that upon the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding by or against any Borrower, neither such Indemnitor shall seek a supplemental stay or otherwise pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 105 or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law, or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any rights of Lender against such Indemnitor by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise. 9 8. GENERAL PROVISIONS. (a) Fully Recourse. Notwithstanding any provision of any other Loan Document to the contrary, all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement are recourse obligations of Indemnitors and not restricted by any limitation on personal liability. (b) Right to Indemnification Not Affected by Knowledge. An Indemnified Party's right to defense, indemnification, payment of Costs or other rights and remedies pursuant to this Agreement shall not be diminished or affected in any way by any investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party or other knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by such Indemnified Party through any means at any time. (c) Reliance. Indemnitors hereby acknowledge that Lender would not make the Loan without being able to rely upon the covenants and obligations of Indemnitors set forth herein. Accordingly, Indemnitors intentionally and unconditionally enter into this Agreement. (d) Obligations Unsecured. Indemnitors acknowledge that even though the representations, warranties and covenants of Indemnitors contained herein may be identical or substantially similar to those of Borrower set forth in the Security Instrument, the obligations of Indemnitors hereunder are independent obligations which are not secured by the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents. The Indemnitors further acknowledge that it is the intent of Lender to create separate obligations of Indemnitors hereunder which can be enforced against Indemnitors without regard to the existence of the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents or the liens or security interests created therein. (e) Survival. This Agreement shall be deemed to be continuing in nature, remain in full force and effect and survive indefinitely, notwithstanding the exercise of any remedy by Lender under the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof, even if, as a part of such remedy, the Loan is paid or satisfied in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the obligations and liabilities of Indemnitors under this Agreement shall survive following payment in full of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents for a period equal to the lesser of (x) five (5) years, or (y) if Borrowers deliver Phase I environmental reports for each of the Properties to Lender, acceptable to Lender in all respects, and which Lender determines in its sole discretion demonstrates that no condition exists which may cause any of the liabilities of Indemnitors to arise after delivery thereof, two (2) years following the delivery of such Phase I environmental reports, provided, however, in the event that (a) any obligations or liabilities of the Indemnitors under this Agreement shall have arisen from any Hazardous Material which existed on, in, under or affecting the Property prior to the expiration of such period or (b) if, prior to payment in full of the Loan, Lender shall have exercised any rights or remedies after an Event of Default or any of the Loan Documents shall have been modified or amended or any provision thereof waived pursuant to any workout or restructuring of the Loan (and if, as a consequence thereof, at any time after the expiration of the survival period specified above, Lender shall be unable to avail itself of any exemption from liability available to lenders under any applicable Environmental Law or shall be required to defend any claim or action relating to any Hazardous Material), then in any such event the foregoing survival period shall not apply and the obligations and liabilities of Indemnitors hereunder shall survive. 10 (f) Subordination; No Recourse Against Lender. Obligor hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter owed to Obligor to all indebtedness of Borrower to Lender. Obligor shall not demand or accept any payment of principal or interest from Borrower, shall not claim any offset or other reduction of Obligor's obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness and shall not take any action to obtain any of the collateral for the Loan. Further, Indemnitors shall not have any right of recourse against any Indemnified Party by reason of any action such Indemnified Party may take or omit to take under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents. (g) Reservation of Rights. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent or in any way diminish or interfere with any rights or remedies, including, without limitation, the right to cost recovery or contribution, which any Indemnified Party may have against either Indemnitor or any other party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (codified at Title 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq.), as it may be amended from time to time ("CERCLA"), or any other applicable Federal, state or local laws, all such rights being hereby expressly reserved. (h) Financial Statements. Each Indemnitor hereby agrees to furnish Lender such financial statements and other information as is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Loan Agreement. (i) Nature of Obligations. The obligations of Indemnitors hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrower under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any default hereunder, a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Indemnitors whether or not Indemnitors are the alter ego of Borrower and whether or not Borrower is joined therein or a separate action or actions are brought against Borrower. Lender's rights hereunder shall not be exhausted until all of the obligations of Indemnitor hereunder have been fully paid and performed. (j) No Limitation on Liability. Indemnitors hereby consent and agree that any of the following may occur from time to time, without notice or consideration to, or consent of, Indemnitors, and the liability of Indemnitors hereunder shall remain unconditional and absolute and shall in no way be impaired or limited by reason thereof: (i) any extension of time for performance required by any of the Loan Documents or otherwise granted by Lender or any extension or renewal of the Note; (ii) any sale, assignment or foreclosure of the Note, the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents or any sale or transfer of the Property, except as set forth in Section 2(b); (iii) any change in the composition of Borrower, including, without limitation, the voluntary or involuntary withdrawal or removal of Indemnitors from any current or future position of ownership, management or control of Borrower; (iv) the release of Borrower or of any other Person from performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents by operation of law, Lender's voluntary act or otherwise; 11 (v) the release or substitution in whole or in part of any security for the Loan; (vi) Lender's failure to record the Security Instrument or to file any financing statement (or Lender's improper recording or filing thereof) or to otherwise perfect, protect, secure or insure any lien or security interest given as security for the Loan; (vii) the modification of the terms of any one or more of the Loan Documents; (viii) subject to Section 2(b) hereof, the exercise by Mezzanine Lender of any remedies made available to Mezzanine Lender pursuant to the terms of the Mezzanine Loan Documents, including, without limitation, foreclosure or similar remedies under any pledge agreement encumbering Mezzanine Borrower's interest in General Partner, Member or any Borrower; or (ix) the taking or failure to take any action of any type whatsoever. No such action which Lender shall take or fail to take in connection with the Loan Documents or any collateral for the Loan, nor any course of dealing with Borrower or any other Person, shall limit, impair or release Indemnitor's obligations hereunder, affect this Agreement in any way or afford Indemnitors any recourse against any Indemnified Party. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to require any Indemnified Party to take or refrain from taking any action referred to herein. (k) Representations. Each Indemnitor represents and warrants that there is no bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against it. (l) Professionals' Fees. In the event it is necessary for any Indemnified Party to retain the services of an attorney or any other consultants in order to enforce this Agreement, or any portion hereof, Indemnitors agree to pay to such Indemnified Party any and all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and consultants' fees and disbursements, incurred by such Indemnified Party as a result thereof and all such amounts shall be included in Costs. (m) Successive Actions. A separate right of action hereunder shall arise each time an Indemnified Party acquires knowledge of any matter indemnified or guaranteed by Indemnitors hereunder. Separate and successive actions may be brought hereunder to enforce any of the provisions hereof at any time and from time to time and no action hereunder shall preclude any subsequent action. (n) No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of Lender in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and no course of dealing between Borrower and Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive 12 of any rights or remedies provided by law. The giving of notice to or demand on Borrower which notice or demand is not required hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall not entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights, remedies, powers or privileges of Lender in any circumstances not requiring notice or demand. (o) Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder or under the Note shall be given in the manner set forth in Section 14.5 of the Loan Agreement, to Lender and Borrower at such party's address set forth in Section 14.5 of the Loan Agreement and to each Obligor at its address set forth above, or such other address as Indemnitors or Lender shall hereafter specify by not less than ten (10) days prior written notice as provided herein; provided, however, that notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the contrary, such notice of change of address shall be deemed given only upon actual receipt thereof.

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the above granted and described Mortgaged Property unto and to the use and benefit of Mortgagee, forever; WITH POWER OF SALE, to secure the payment to Mortgagee of the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Mortgage; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, these presents are upon the express condition that, if Mortgagor shall well and truly pay to Mortgagee the Debt at the time and in the manner provided in the Note and this Mortgage and shall well and truly abide by and comply with each and every covenant and condition set forth herein, in the Note and in the other Loan Documents in a timely manner, these presents and the estate hereby granted shall cease, terminate and be void; AND Mortgagor represents and warrants to and covenants and agrees with Mortgagee as follows: 4 PART I GENERAL PROVISIONS 1. PAYMENT OF DEBT AND INCORPORATION OF COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND AGREEMENTS. Mortgagor shall pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided in the Note, in the Loan Agreement and in this Mortgage. All the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in (a) the Note, (b) the Loan Agreement and (c) the other Loan Documents are hereby made a part of this Mortgage to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth herein. 2. WARRANTY OF TITLE. Mortgagor warrants that Mortgagor has good and marketable title to the Mortgaged Property and has the full power, authority and right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Mortgage and to deed, encumber, mortgage, give, grant, bargain, sell, alienate, enfeoff, convey, confirm, pledge, assign and hypothecate the same and that Mortgagor possesses a fee estate in the Premises and the Improvements and that it owns the Mortgaged Property free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and charges whatsoever except for the Permitted Encumbrances and that this Mortgage is and will remain a valid and enforceable first lien on and security interest in the Mortgaged Property, subject only to said exceptions. Mortgagor represents and warrants that none of the Permitted Encumbrances will, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect (i) Mortgagor's ability to pay in full in a timely manner its obligations, including, without limitation, the Debt, (ii) the use of the Mortgaged Property for the use currently being made thereof, (iii) the operation of the Mortgaged Property for the operation currently being made thereof, or (iv) the value of the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor shall forever warrant, defend and preserve such title and the validity and priority of the lien of this Mortgage and shall forever warrant and defend the same to Mortgagee against the claims of all persons whomsoever. 3. INSURANCE. Mortgagor, at its sole cost and expense, shall obtain and maintain during the entire term of this Mortgage (the "TERM") policies of insurance as required pursuant to Section 5.4 of the Loan Agreement, and pay all premiums thereon (the "INSURANCE PREMIUMS"). 4. PAYMENT OF IMPOSITIONS AND OTHER CHARGES. Subject to Mortgagor's right to contest set forth in Section 5.3(B) of the Loan Agreement and the provisions of Section 5 below, and pursuant to the provisions of the Cash Management Agreement, Mortgagor shall cause to be paid all Impositions now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof prior to the date the same shall become delinquent. Mortgagor shall promptly pay for all utility services provided to the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee or its designee receipts for the payment of the Impositions prior to the date the same shall become delinquent (provided, however, that Mortgagor shall not be required to furnish such receipts for payment of Impositions in the event that such Impositions have been paid by Mortgagee pursuant to Section 5 hereof). 5. IMPOSITIONS AND INSURANCE RESERVE. Mortgagor shall make monthly deposits into the Impositions and Insurance Reserve in accordance with, and to the extent required under, Section 6.3 of the Loan Agreement and under the Cash Management Agreement. 5 6. CONDEMNATION. To the extent the terms of this Section 6 are inconsistent with the terms of the Loan Agreement, the terms of the Loan Agreement shall control. (a) Mortgagor shall promptly give Mortgagee written notice of any known actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding affecting the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof and shall deliver to Mortgagee copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Subject to the terms of Section 6(b) below, Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably appointed as Mortgagor's attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any award or payment for said condemnation or eminent domain and to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such proceeding, subject to the provisions of this Mortgage and the Loan Agreement. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi public authority through eminent domain or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Mortgagor shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note, in this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and the Debt shall not be reduced until any award or payment therefor shall have been actually received after expenses of collection and applied by Mortgagee to the discharge of the Debt in accordance with the terms hereof. In accordance with the terms hereof, Mortgagor shall cause the award or payment made in any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding completed after the date hereof, which is payable to Mortgagor, to be paid directly to Mortgagee. Mortgagee may apply any such award or payment to the reduction or discharge of the Debt whether or not then due and payable; such application to be made without any Prepayment Consideration (as defined in the Loan Agreement), provided that if Mortgagor receives any such award or payment, Mortgagor pays such award or payment to Mortgagee within one hundred twenty (120) days following the date of Mortgagor's receipt thereof, except that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then such application shall be subject to the Prepayment Consideration computed in accordance with the Note. If the Mortgaged Property is sold following an Event of Default, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Mortgagee of such award or payment, Mortgagee shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive said award or payment, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mortgagee shall not exercise the foregoing rights and Mortgagor may prosecute any condemnation proceeding and settle or compromise and collect any claim involving an award and/or claim for damages of not more than the Restoration Threshold provided that: (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) in Mortgagee's reasonable good faith judgment, such condemnation or taking does not and will not materially restrict access to the Mortgaged Property or otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect, and the Mortgaged Property remaining after such condemnation or taking is capable of being restored to an economically viable whole of substantially the same type which existed prior to the condemnation or taking or in substantial compliance with all applicable laws, (iii) Mortgagor applies the proceeds of such award to any reconstruction or repair of the Mortgaged Property necessary as a result of such condemnation or taking, (iv) Mortgagor promptly commences and diligently prosecutes such reconstruction or repair to completion in accordance with all applicable laws and (v) the plans and specifications for such work shall be subject to Mortgagee's reasonable approval. Subject to the terms hereof, Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee to apply such awards, payments, proceeds or damages, after the deduction of Mortgagee's 6 reasonable expenses incurred in the collection of such amounts, at Mortgagee's option, to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or to payment of the sums secured by this Mortgage, whether or not then due, in the order determined by Mortgagee, with the balance, if any, to Mortgagor. Application of any such award or payment to payment of the sums secured by this Mortgage pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be made without any Prepayment Consideration, provided that if Mortgagor receives any such award or payment, Mortgagor pays such award or payment to Mortgagee within one hundred twenty (120) days following Mortgagor's receipt thereof, except that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then such application shall be subject to the Prepayment Consideration computed in accordance with the Note. Subject to the provisions of clauses (i) through (v) of this Section 6(b), Mortgagee shall not exercise Mortgagee's option to apply such awards or damages to payment of the sums secured by this Mortgage provided that each of the conditions (as applicable) to the release of insurance proceeds for restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property under Section 5.5 of the Loan Agreement have been satisfied with respect to such condemnation awards or damages. Any application of proceeds to principal shall not extend or postpone the due date of the monthly installments due hereunder, under the Note or under any of the Loan Documents or change the amount of such installments. Mortgagor agrees to execute such further evidence of assignment of any awards, proceeds, damages or claims arising in connection with such condemnation or taking as Mortgagee may reasonably require. 7. LEASES AND RENTS. To the extent the terms of this Section 7 are inconsistent with the terms of the Loan Agreement or the Assignment of Leases and Rents, the terms of the Loan Agreement and the Assignment of Leases and Rents shall control. Mortgagor does hereby absolutely and unconditionally assign to Mortgagee, all Mortgagor's right, title and interest in all current and future Leases and Rents, it being intended by Mortgagor that this assignment constitutes a present, absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. Such assignment to Mortgagee shall not be construed to bind Mortgagee to the performance of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions contained in any such Lease or otherwise impose any obligation upon Mortgagee. Mortgagor agrees to execute and deliver to Mortgagee such additional instruments, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, as may hereafter be reasonably requested by Mortgagee to further evidence and confirm such assignment. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Loan Documents, Mortgagor shall have the sole but revocable right and license to act as landlord under the Leases and to enforce the covenants of the Leases, provided, however, Mortgagor acknowledges it has no right to collect or use Rents except in accordance with the terms and conditions of Article VII of the Loan Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without the need for notice or demand, the license granted to Mortgagor herein shall automatically be revoked. Mortgagee is hereby granted and assigned by Mortgagor the right, at its option, upon revocation of the license granted herein, to enter upon the Mortgaged Property in person, by agent or by court-appointed receiver to collect the Rents. Subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, any Rents collected after the revocation of the license shall be applied by Mortgagee in accordance with the Loan Agreement. Mortgagor expressly understands that any and all proposed leases are included in the definition of "LEASE" or "LEASES" as such terms may be used throughout this Mortgage, the Note and the other Loan Documents. 7 8. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF MORTGAGED PROPERTY. Mortgagor shall cause the Mortgaged Property to be operated and maintained in accordance with Section 5.5 of the Loan Agreement. 9. TRANSFER OR ENCUMBRANCE OF THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY. (a) Mortgagor acknowledges that Mortgagee has examined and relied on the creditworthiness and experience of Mortgagor in owning and operating properties such as the Mortgaged Property in agreeing to make the Loan, and that Mortgagee will continue to rely on Mortgagor's ownership of the Mortgaged Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for repayment of the Debt. Mortgagor acknowledges that Mortgagee has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Mortgaged Property so as to ensure that, should Mortgagor default in the repayment of the Debt, Mortgagee can recover the Debt by a sale of the Mortgaged Property. Except as expressly permitted under this Mortgage, the Loan Agreement or under the other Loan Documents, Mortgagor shall not cause or suffer to occur or exist, directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, any sale, transfer, mortgage, pledge, lien or encumbrance (other than Permitted Encumbrances) (collectively, "TRANSFERS") of (i) all or any part of the Mortgaged Property or (ii) any direct or indirect beneficial ownership interest (in whole or part) in Mortgagor, irrespective of the number of tiers of ownership, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee. (b) The occurrence of any Transfer in violation of this Section 9 shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder, whereupon Mortgagee at its option, without being required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder, may declare the Debt immediately due and payable. (c) Mortgagee's consent to one Transfer shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Mortgagee's right to require such consent to any future occurrence of same. Any Transfer made in contravention of this paragraph shall be null and void and of no force and effect. (d) Mortgagor agrees to bear and shall pay or reimburse Mortgagee on demand for all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements. title search costs and title insurance endorsement premiums) incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the review, approval and documentation of any Transfer which requires the consent of Mortgagee. 10. CHANGES IN LAWS REGARDING TAXATION. If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Mortgage which deducts the Debt from the value of the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of taxation or which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Mortgagee's interest in the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor will pay such tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. In the event Mortgagee is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of such tax or interest and penalties by Mortgagor would be unlawful or taxable to Mortgagee or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury, then in any such event, Mortgagee shall have the option, by written notice of not less than ninety (90) days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable and, provided no Event of Default exists, no Prepayment Consideration shall be due in connection therewith. 8 11. NO CREDITS ON ACCOUNT OF THE DEBT. Mortgagor will not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges assessed against the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of this Mortgage or the Debt. In the event such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by law, Mortgagee shall have the option, by written notice of not less than ninety (90) days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable and, provided no Event of Default exists, no Prepayment Consideration shall be due in connection therewith. 12. DOCUMENTARY STAMPS. If at any time the United States of America, any State thereof or any subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Note or this Mortgage, or impose any other tax or charge on the same, Mortgagor will pay for the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. 13. PERFORMANCE OF OTHER AGREEMENTS. Mortgagor shall observe and perform each and every material term to be observed or performed by Mortgagor pursuant to the terms of any agreement or recorded instrument (including all instruments comprising the Permitted Encumbrances) affecting or pertaining to the Mortgaged Property, and will not suffer or permit any default or event of default (after giving effect to any applicable notice requirements and cure periods) to exist under any of the foregoing. 14. FURTHER ACTS; SECONDARY MARKET TRANSACTIONS. (a) Mortgagor will, at the sole cost and expense of Mortgagor, and without expense to Mortgagee, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, assignments, notices of assignment, Uniform Commercial Code financing statements or continuation statements, transfers and assurances as Mortgagee shall, from time to time, reasonably require, for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring, and confirming unto Mortgagee the property and rights hereby deeded, mortgaged, given, granted, bargained, sold, alienated, enfeoffed, conveyed, confirmed, pledged, assigned and hypothecated or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which Mortgagor may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Mortgagee, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Mortgage or for filing, registering or recording this Mortgage or for facilitating the sale of the Loan and the Loan Documents as described in subparagraph (b) below. Mortgagor, on demand, will deliver and hereby authorizes Mortgagee to file in the name of Mortgagor, one or more financing statements, chattel mortgages or other instruments, to evidence more effectively the security interest of Mortgagee in the Mortgaged Property. Upon foreclosure or the appointment of a receiver, Mortgagor will, at its sole cost and expense, and without expense to Mortgagee, cooperate fully and completely to effect the assignment or transfer of any license, permit, agreement or any other right necessary or useful to the operation of the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor grants to Mortgagee an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of exercising and perfecting any and all rights and remedies available to Mortgagee at law and in equity, including, without limitation, such rights and remedies available to Mortgagee pursuant to this paragraph. (b) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement, Mortgagee shall have the right to engage in one or more Secondary Market Transactions (as 9 defined in the Loan Agreement) and, in connection therewith, Mortgagee may transfer its obligations under this Mortgage, the Loan Agreement and under the other Loan Documents (or may transfer the portion thereof corresponding to the transferred portion of the Debt), and thereafter Mortgagee shall be relieved of any obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents arising after the date of said transfer with respect to the transferred interest. 15. RECORDING OF MORTGAGE, ETC. Mortgagor forthwith upon the execution and delivery of this Mortgage and thereafter, from time to time, will cause this Mortgage, and any security instrument creating a lien or security interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Mortgaged Property and each instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect the lien or security interest hereof upon, and the interest of Mortgagee in, the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor will pay all filing, registration or recording fees, and all expenses incident to the preparation, execution and acknowledgment of this Mortgage, any deed of trust supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Mortgaged Property and any instrument of further assurance, and all federal, state, county and municipal, taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of this Mortgage, any deed of trust supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Mortgaged Property or any instrument of further assurance, except where prohibited by law so to do. Mortgagor shall hold harmless and indemnify Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, against any liability incurred by reason of the imposition of any tax on the making and recording of this Mortgage. 16. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. Mortgagor agrees to give prompt notice to Mortgagee of the insolvency or bankruptcy filing of Mortgagor or the death, insolvency or bankruptcy filing of any Guarantor. 17. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The Debt shall become immediately due and payable at the option of Mortgagee upon the happening of any Event of Default. The term "EVENT OF DEFAULT" as used in this Mortgage shall have the meaning given such term in the Loan Agreement. 18. RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Mortgagee may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Mortgagor and without releasing Mortgagor from any obligation hereunder, make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as Mortgagee may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Mortgagee is authorized to enter upon the Mortgaged Property for such purposes or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Mortgaged Property or to foreclose this Mortgage or collect the Debt, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements to the extent permitted by law), with interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement) for the period after notice from Mortgagee that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Mortgagee, shall constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and shall be due and payable to Mortgagee upon demand. 10 19. REMEDIES. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Mortgagee may take such action, without notice or demand (except to the extent required by applicable law), as it deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Mortgagor and in and to the Mortgaged Property by Mortgagee itself or otherwise, including, without limitation, the following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Mortgagee may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Mortgagee: (i) declare the entire Debt to be immediately due and payable; (ii) institute a proceeding or proceedings, judicial or nonjudicial, by advertisement or otherwise, for the complete foreclosure of this Mortgage in which case the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein may be sold for cash or upon credit in one or more parcels or in several interests or portions and in any order or manner; (iii) with or without entry, to the extent permitted and pursuant to the procedures provided by applicable law, institute proceedings for the partial foreclosure of this Mortgage for the portion of the Debt then due and payable, subject to the continuing lien of this Mortgage for the balance of the Debt not then due; (iv) sell for cash or upon credit the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof and all estate, claim, demand, right, title and interest of Mortgagor therein and rights of redemption thereof, pursuant to the power of sale contained herein or otherwise, at one or more sales, as an entirety or in parcels, at such time and place, upon such terms and after such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by law; (v) institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained herein, or in any of the other Loan Documents; (vi) recover judgment on the Note either before, during or after any proceedings for the enforcement of this Mortgage; (vii) apply for the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator or conservator of the Mortgaged Property, to the extent permitted by applicable law, without notice and without regard for the adequacy of the security for the Debt and without regard for the solvency of the Mortgagor, any Guarantor or of any person, firm or other entity liable for the payment of the Debt; (viii) enforce Mortgagee's interest in the Leases and Rents and enter into or upon the Mortgaged Property, either personally or by its agents, nominees or attorneys and dispossess Mortgagor and its agents and servants therefrom, and thereupon Mortgagee may (A) use, operate, manage, control, insure, maintain, repair, restore and otherwise deal with all and every part of the Mortgaged Property and conduct the business thereat; (B) complete any construction on the Mortgaged Property in such manner and form as Mortgagee deems advisable; (C) make alterations, additions, renewals, replacements and improvements to or on the 11 Mortgaged Property; (D) exercise all rights and powers of Mortgagor with respect to the Mortgaged Property, whether in the name of Mortgagor or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to make, cancel, enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants, and demand, sue for, collect and receive all Rents; and (E) apply the receipts from the Mortgaged Property to the payment of Debt, after deducting therefrom all expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with the aforesaid operations and all amounts necessary to pay the taxes, assessments insurance and other charges in connection with the Mortgaged Property, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Mortgagee, its counsel, agents and employees; or (ix) pursue such other rights and remedies as may be available at law or in equity or under the Uniform Commercial Code. In the event of a sale, by foreclosure or otherwise, of less than all of the Mortgaged Property, this Mortgage shall continue as a lien on the remaining portion of the Mortgaged Property. (b) The proceeds of any sale made under or by virtue of this paragraph, together with any other sums which then may be held by Mortgagee under this Mortgage, whether under the provisions of this paragraph or otherwise, shall be applied by Mortgagee to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportion as Mortgagee in its sole discretion shall deem proper. (c) Mortgagee may adjourn from time to time any sale by it to be made under or by virtue of this Mortgage by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale or sales; and, except as otherwise provided by any applicable provision of law, Mortgagee, without further notice or publication, may make such sale at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned. (d) Upon the completion of any sale or sales pursuant hereto, Mortgagee, or an officer of any court empowered to do so, shall execute and deliver to the accepted purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient instrument, or good and sufficient instruments, conveying, assigning and transferring all estate, right, title and interest in and to the property and rights sold. Any sale or sales made under or by virtue of this paragraph, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, operate to divest all the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Mortgagor in and to the properties and rights so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Mortgagor and against any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof from, through or under Mortgagor. (e) Upon any sale made under or by virtue of this paragraph, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Mortgagee may bid for and acquire the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof and in lieu of paying cash therefor may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Debt the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale and costs of the action and any other sums which Mortgagee is authorized to deduct under this Mortgage. 12 (f) No recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon the Mortgaged Property or upon any other property of Mortgagor shall affect in any manner or to any extent the lien of this Mortgage upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, or any liens, rights, powers or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder, but such liens, rights, powers and remedies of Mortgagee shall continue unimpaired as before. (g) Mortgagee may terminate or rescind any proceeding or other action brought in connection with its exercise of the remedies provided in this paragraph at any time before the conclusion thereof, as determined in Mortgagee's sole discretion and without prejudice to Mortgagee. (h) Mortgagee may resort to any remedies and the security given by the Note, this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents in whole or in part, and in such portions and in such order as determined in Mortgagee's sole discretion. No such action shall in any way be considered a waiver of any rights, benefits or remedies evidenced or provided by the Note, this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents. The failure of Mortgagee to exercise any right, remedy or option provided in the Note, this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents shall not be deemed a waiver of such right, remedy or option or of any covenant or obligation secured by the Note, this Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. No acceptance by Mortgagee of any payment after the occurrence of any Event of Default and no payment by Mortgagee of any obligation for which Mortgagor is liable hereunder shall be deemed to waive or cure any Event of Default with respect to Mortgagor, or Mortgagor's liability to pay such obligation. No sale of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, no forbearance on the part of Mortgagee, and no extension of time for the payment of the whole or any portion of the Debt or any other indulgence given by Mortgagee to Mortgagor, shall operate to release or in any manner affect the interest of Mortgagee in the remaining Mortgaged Property or the liability of Mortgagor to pay the Debt. No waiver by Mortgagee shall be effective unless it is in writing and then only to the extent specifically stated. All reasonable costs and expenses of Mortgagee in exercising its rights and remedies under this paragraph (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements to the extent permitted by law), shall be paid by Mortgagor immediately upon notice from Mortgagee, with interest at the Default Rate for the period after notice from Mortgagee and such costs and expenses shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be secured by this Mortgage. (i) The interests and rights of Mortgagee under the Note, this Mortgage or in any of the other Loan Documents shall not be impaired by any indulgence, including (i) any renewal, extension or modification which Mortgagee may grant with respect to any of the Debt, (ii) any surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which Mortgagee may grant with respect to the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof; or (iii) any release or indulgence granted to any maker, endorser, Guarantor or surety of any of the Debt. 20. RIGHT OF ENTRY. In addition to any other rights or remedies granted under this Mortgage, Mortgagee and its agents shall have the right to enter and inspect the Mortgaged Property at any reasonable time during the Term. The reasonable cost of such inspections or audits shall be borne by Mortgagor should Mortgagee determine that an Event of Default exists, including the cost of all follow up or additional investigations or inquiries deemed reasonably necessary by Mortgagee. The reasonable cost of such inspections, if not paid for by Mortgagor within ten (10) Business Days of demand therefor, may be added to the principal balance of the 13 sums due under the Note and this Mortgage and shall bear interest thereafter until paid at the Default Rate. 21. SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Mortgage is both a real property mortgage and a "security agreement" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code. The Mortgaged Property includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Mortgagor in the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor by executing and delivering this Mortgage has granted and hereby grants to Mortgagee, as security for the Debt, a security interest in the Mortgaged Property to the full extent that the Mortgaged Property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion of the Mortgaged Property so subject to the Uniform Commercial Code being called in this paragraph the "COLLATERAL"). Mortgagor hereby agrees with Mortgagee to execute and deliver to Mortgagee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, such financing statements and such further assurances as Mortgagee may from time to time, reasonably consider necessary to create, perfect, and preserve Mortgagee's security interest herein granted. This Mortgage shall also constitute a "fixture filing" for the purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code as to all or any items of the Collateral that are or are to become fixtures under the Uniform Commercial Code. Information concerning the security interest herein granted may be obtained from the parties at the addresses of the parties set forth in the first paragraph of this Mortgage. If an Event of Default shall occur, Mortgagee, in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have, shall have and may exercise immediately and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Mortgagee may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or demand of Mortgagee after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Mortgagor shall at its expense assemble the Collateral and make it available to Mortgagee at a convenient place reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall pay to Mortgagee within ten (10) Business Days of demand therefor any and all expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by Mortgagee in protecting the interest in the Collateral and in enforcing the rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Mortgagee with respect to the Collateral sent to Mortgagor in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Mortgagor. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may be applied by Mortgagee to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Mortgagee in its sole discretion shall deem proper. In the event of any change in name, identity or structure of any Mortgagor, such Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee thereof and promptly after Mortgagee's request shall execute, file and record such Uniform Commercial Code forms as are necessary to maintain the priority of Mortgagee's lien upon and security interest in the Collateral, and shall pay all reasonable expenses and fees in connection with the filing and recording thereof. If Mortgagee shall require the filing or recording of additional Uniform Commercial Code forms or continuation statements, Mortgagor shall, promptly after request, execute, file and record such Uniform Commercial Code forms or continuation statements as Mortgagee shall deem reasonably necessary, and shall pay all reasonable expenses and fees in connection with the filing and recording thereof, it being understood and agreed, however, that no such additional documents shall increase Mortgagor's obligations or decrease Mortgagor's rights under the Note, this Mortgage and any of the other Loan Documents. 14 Mortgagor hereby irrevocably appoints Mortgagee as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to file with the appropriate public office on its behalf any financing or other statements signed only by Mortgagee, as secured party, in connection with the Collateral covered by this Mortgage. 22. ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. Mortgagee has the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Mortgaged Property and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Mortgagor, which Mortgagee, in its reasonable discretion, decides should be brought to protect their interest in the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagee shall, at its option, be subrogated to the lien of any deed of trust or other security instrument discharged in whole or in part by the Debt, and any such subrogation rights shall constitute additional security for the payment of the Debt. 23. RECOVERY OF SUMS REQUIRED TO BE PAID. Mortgagee shall have the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which constitute a part of the Debt as the same become due, without regard to whether or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Mortgagee thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by Mortgagor existing at the time such earlier action was commenced. 24. MARSHALLING AND OTHER MATTERS. Mortgagor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale hereunder of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any interest therein. Further, Mortgagor hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of this Mortgage on behalf of Mortgagor, and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in or title to the Mortgaged Property subsequent to the date of this Mortgage and on behalf of all persons to the extent permitted by applicable law. Mortgagee shall not be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Person or in payment of any of the Debt. 25. HANDICAPPED ACCESS. (a) Mortgagor agrees that the Mortgaged Property shall at all times comply, with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, if applicable, all state and local laws and ordinances related to handicapped access and all rules, regulations, and orders issued pursuant thereto including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities (collectively "ACCESS LAWS"). (b) Without limiting the foregoing, Mortgagor shall cause any alterations to the Mortgaged Property to comply with all applicable Access Laws. The foregoing shall apply to tenant improvements constructed by Mortgagor or by any of its tenants. Mortgagee may condition any such approval upon receipt of a certificate of Access Law compliance from an architect, engineer, or other person acceptable to Mortgagee. 15 (c) Mortgagor agrees to give prompt notice to Mortgagee of the receipt by Mortgagor of any material complaints related to violation of any Access Laws and of the commencement of any proceedings or investigations which relate to compliance with applicable Access Laws. 26. INDEMNIFICATION. In addition to any other indemnifications provided herein or in the other Loan Documents, Mortgagor shall protect, defend, indemnify and save harmless Mortgagee and its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, the trustee and/or the trust under any trust agreement executed in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction backed in whole or in part by the Loan and any other person which may hereafter be the holder of the Note or any interest therein), and the officers, directors, stockholders, partners, members, employees, agents, and Affiliates of Mortgagee and such successors and assigns (each an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, demands, damages, penalties, causes of action, losses, fines, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements), imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Party by reason of: (a) ownership of this Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein or receipt of any Rents; (b) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (c) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or about the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or on adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (d) any failure on the part of Mortgagor to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Mortgage; (e) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof; (f) any failure of the Premises or the Improvements to comply with any applicable law, statute, code, ordinance, rule or regulation including, without limitation, any Access Laws; (g) any default by Mortgagor under this Mortgage, the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (h) any actions taken by any Indemnified Party in the enforcement of this Mortgage and other Loan Documents in accordance with their respective terms; (i) any representation or warranty made in the Note, this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents being false or misleading in any material respect as of the date such representation or warranty was made; (j) any claim by brokers, finders or similar persons claiming to be entitled to a commission in connection with any Lease or other transaction involving the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof under any legal requirement or any liability asserted against Mortgagee with respect thereto; and (k) the claims of any lessee of any or any portion of the Mortgaged Property or any person acting through or under any lessee or otherwise arising under or as a consequence of any Lease (collectively, the "INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES"), provided that Mortgagor shall not have an obligation to an Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to the Indemnified Liabilities arising from the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any amounts payable to Mortgagee by reason of the application of this paragraph shall be secured by this Mortgage and shall become immediately due and payable and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date loss or damage is sustained by Mortgagee until paid. The obligations and liabilities of Mortgagor under this paragraph shall survive the termination, satisfaction, or assignment of this Mortgage and the exercise by Mortgagee of any of its rights or remedies hereunder, including, but not limited to, the acquisition of the Mortgaged Property by foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure. 16 27. NOTICES. Any notice, demand, statement, request or consent made hereunder shall be in writing, addressed to the intended recipient at its address set forth in the Loan Agreement, and shall be made and deemed given in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. 28.

NON-WAIVER. The failure of Mortgagee to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Mortgage. Any consent or approval by Mortgagee in any single instance shall not be deemed or construed to be Mortgagee's consent or approval in any like matter arising at a subsequent date. Mortgagor shall not be relieved of Mortgagor's obligations hereunder by reason of (a) the failure of Mortgagee to comply with any request of Mortgagor or any Guarantor to take any action to foreclose this Mortgage or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Note, or the other Loan Documents, (b) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Mortgaged Property, or of any person liable for the Debt or any portion thereof, or (c) any agreement or stipulation by Mortgagee extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Note, this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents. Mortgagee may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other security held by Mortgagee in such order and manner as Mortgagee, in its sole discretion, may elect. Mortgagee may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Mortgagee thereafter to foreclosure this Mortgage. The rights and remedies of Mortgagee under this Mortgage shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Mortgagee shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Mortgagee shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity. 30. NO ORAL CHANGE. This Mortgage, and any provisions hereof, may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Mortgagor or Mortgagee, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought. 31.

MISCELLANEOUS. (a) Intentionally Omitted. (b) The Loan Documents contain the entire agreement between Mortgagor and Mortgagee relating to or connected with the Loan. Any other agreements relating to or connected with the Loan not expressly set forth in the Loan Documents are null and void and superseded in their entirety by the provisions of the Loan Documents. (c) Mortgagor represents and warrants to Mortgagee that, to Mortgagor's knowledge, there has not been committed by Mortgagor or any other person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Mortgaged Property any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture as against the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Mortgagor's obligations under the Note or under any of the other Loan Documents. Mortgagor hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, intentionally permit or suffer to exist any act, omission or circumstance affording such right of forfeiture. In furtherance thereof, Mortgagor hereby indemnifies Mortgagee and agrees to defend and hold Mortgagee harmless from and against any loss, damage or injury by reason of the breach of the covenants and agreements or the representations and warranties set forth in this paragraph.

The Debt may be accelerated as provided in the Loan Documents. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Mortgagee may, at its option, accelerate the Debt and foreclose upon any one or more of the Mortgages or resort to any one or more of its other rights and remedies under any or all of the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents. Except as otherwise provided herein, all of the real and personal property conveyed and/or mortgaged by the Mortgages are security for the Debt without allocation of any one or more of the parcels or portions thereof to any portion of the Debt. Mortgagee may allocate the proceeds that it receives upon the exercise of its rights and remedies, including foreclosure, to payment of the Debt as Mortgagee in its sole discretion may determine to be advisable pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. Mortgagee may proceed, at the same or different times, to foreclose the Mortgages or any one or more of them, by any proceedings appropriate in the state where any of the real property encumbered by one or more of the Mortgages lies, including private sale if permitted, and no event of enforcement taking place in any state, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any pending foreclosure, judgment or decree of foreclosure, foreclosure sale, rents received, possession taken, deficiency judgment or decrees, or judgment taken on the Debt, shall in any way stay, preclude or bar enforcement of the Mortgages or any of them in any other state, and Mortgagee may pursue any or all of its remedies to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents until all of the Debt and all other obligations now or hereafter secured by any or all of the Mortgages have been paid or discharged in full. Additionally, and without limitation of any other provision of this Mortgage, if this Mortgage is foreclosed and the Mortgaged Property is sold (or any part thereof) pursuant to 20 foreclosure or other proceedings, and if the proceeds of such sale (after application of such proceeds as provided in this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents) are not sufficient to pay the total sum of the Debt then outstanding and any other amounts provided for by applicable law (the "BALANCE OWED"), then, to the extent permitted by law, the Debt shall not be satisfied to the extent of the Balance Owed, but such Debt shall continue in existence and continue to be evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents and the Mortgages. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, if Mortgagee shall acquire the Mortgaged Property as a result of any foreclosure or other sale (whether by bidding all or any portion of the Debt or otherwise), the proceeds of such sale, to the extent permitted by law, shall not be deemed to include (and Mortgagor shall not be entitled to any benefit or credit on account of) proceeds of any subsequent sale of the Mortgaged Property by Mortgagee. Without limitation of any other provision hereof, Mortgagor further agrees that if any of the Other Mortgages are foreclosed and sale is made of any of the property subject to any Other Mortgages, and if the proceeds of such sale (after application of such proceeds as provided for herein and after deducting all accrued and general and special taxes and assessments) are not sufficient to pay the Debt and any other amounts provided for by applicable law, then, to the extent permitted by law, the Debt then outstanding shall not be satisfied to the extent of the Balance Owed, but such Debt shall continue in existence and continue to be evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents and the Mortgages existing immediately prior to any such foreclosure, except such Mortgages foreclosed upon. No release of personal liability, if any, of any Person whatsoever and no release of any portion of the property now or hereafter subject to the lien of any of the Mortgages shall have any effect whatsoever by way of impairment or disturbance of the lien or priority of any other of the Mortgages or the unreleased properties encumbered by any of the Mortgages, to the extent permitted by law. Any foreclosure or other appropriate remedy brought in any of the states aforesaid may be brought and prosecuted as to any part of the security, wherever located, without regard to the fact that foreclosure proceedings or other remedies have or have not been instituted elsewhere on any other property subject to the lien of the Mortgages. Neither Mortgagor nor any Person claiming by, through or under Mortgagor shall have any right to marshal the assets, all such rights being hereby expressly waived as to Mortgagor and all Persons claiming by, through or under Mortgagor, Debt, without limitation, junior lienors. Each of Mortgagor and all endorsers, guarantors and sureties of the Debt, hereby waives any and all rights arising because of payment or performance by Mortgagor of any Debt (a) against any Person by way of subrogation of the rights of Mortgagee or (b) against any Person obligated to pay or perform the Debt or other obligations secured by the Other Mortgages by way of contribution, reimbursement or otherwise.

Trustor represents and warrants that none of the Permitted Encumbrances will, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect (i) Trustor's ability to pay in full in a timely manner its obligations, including, without limitation, the Debt, (ii) the use of the Trust Property for the use currently being made thereof, (iii) the operation of the Trust Property for the operation currently being made thereof, or (iv) the value of the Trust Property.

INSURANCE. Trustor, at its sole cost and expense, shall obtain and maintain during the entire term of this Deed of Trust (the "TERM") policies of insurance as required pursuant to Section 5.4 of the Loan Agreement, and pay all premiums thereon (the "INSURANCE PREMIUMS"). 4.

IMPOSITIONS AND INSURANCE RESERVE. Trustor shall make monthly deposits into the Impositions and Insurance Reserve in accordance with, and to the extent required under Section 6.3 of the Loan Agreement and under the Cash Management Agreement. 6. CONDEMNATION. To the extent the terms of this Section 6 are inconsistent with the terms of the Loan Agreement, the terms of the Loan Agreement shall control. (a) Trustor shall promptly give Beneficiary written notice of any known actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding affecting the Trust Property or any portion thereof and shall deliver to Beneficiary copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Subject to the terms of Section 6(b) below, Beneficiary is hereby irrevocably appointed as Trustor's attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any award or payment for said condemnation or eminent domain and to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such proceeding, subject to the provisions of this Deed of Trust and the Loan Agreement. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi public authority through eminent domain or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Trustor shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note, in this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents and the Debt shall not be reduced until any award or payment therefor shall have been actually 5 received after expenses of collection and applied by Beneficiary to the discharge of the Debt in accordance with the terms hereof. In accordance with the terms hereof, Trustor shall cause the award or payment made in any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding completed after the date hereof, which is payable to Trustor, to be paid directly to Beneficiary. Beneficiary may apply any such award or payment to the reduction or discharge of the Debt whether or not then due and payable; such application to be made without any Prepayment Consideration (as defined in the Loan Agreement), provided that if Trustor receives any such award or payment, Trustor pays such award or payment to Trustee within one hundred twenty (120) days following the date of Trustor's receipt thereof, except that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then such application shall be subject to the Prepayment Consideration computed in accordance with the Note. If the Trust Property is sold following an Event of Default, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Beneficiary of such award or payment, Beneficiary shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive said award or payment, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Beneficiary shall not exercise the foregoing rights and Trustor may prosecute any condemnation proceeding and settle or compromise and collect any claim involving an award and/or claim for damages of not more than the Restoration Threshold provided that: (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) in Beneficiary's reasonable good faith judgment, such condemnation or taking does not and will not materially restrict access to the Trust Property or otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect, and the Trust Property remaining after such condemnation or taking is capable of being restored to an economically viable whole substantially of the same type which existed prior to the condemnation or taking or in substantial compliance with all applicable laws, (iii) Trustor applies the proceeds of such award to any reconstruction or repair of the Trust Property necessary as a result of such condemnation or taking, (iv) Trustor promptly commences and diligently prosecutes such reconstruction or repair to completion in accordance with all applicable laws and (v) the plans and specifications for such work shall be subject to Beneficiary's reasonable approval. Subject to the terms hereof, Trustor authorizes Beneficiary to apply such awards, payments, proceeds or damages, after the deduction of Beneficiary's reasonable expenses incurred in the collection of such amounts, at Beneficiary's option, to restoration or repair of the Trust Property or to payment of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust, whether or not then due in the order determined by Beneficiary, with the balance, if any, to Trustor. Application of any such award or payment to payment of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be made without any Prepayment Consideration, provided that if Trustor receives any such award or payment, Trustor pays such award or payment to Trustee within one hundred twenty (120) days following Trustor's receipt thereof, except that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then such application shall be subject to the Prepayment Consideration computed in accordance with the Note. Subject to the provisions of clauses (i) through (v) of this Section 6(b), Beneficiary shall not exercise Beneficiary's option to apply such awards or damages to payment of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust provided that each of the conditions (as applicable) to the release of insurance proceeds for restoration or repair of the Trust Property under Section 5.5 of the Loan Agreement have been satisfied with respect to such condemnation awards or damages. Any application of proceeds to principal shall not extend or postpone the due date of the monthly installments due hereunder, under the Note or under any of the Loan Documents or change the amount of such installments. Trustor agrees to execute such further evidence of assignment of any awards, 6 proceeds, damages or claims arising in connection with such condemnation or taking as Beneficiary may reasonably require. 7. LEASES AND RENTS. To the extent the terms of this Section 7 are inconsistent with the terms of the Loan Agreement or the Assignment of Leases and Rents, the terms of the Loan Agreement and the Assignment of Leases and Rents shall control. Trustor does hereby absolutely and unconditionally assign to Beneficiary, all Trustor's right, title and interest in all current and future Leases and Rents, it being intended by Trustor that this assignment constitutes a present, absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. Such assignment to Beneficiary shall not be construed to bind Beneficiary to the performance of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions contained in any such Lease or otherwise impose any obligation upon Beneficiary. Trustor agrees to execute and deliver to Beneficiary such additional instruments, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary, as may hereafter be reasonably requested by Beneficiary to further evidence and confirm such assignment. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Loan Documents, Trustor shall have the sole but revocable right and license to act as landlord under the Leases and to enforce the covenants of the Leases, provided, however, Trustor acknowledges it has no right to collect or use Rents except in accordance with the terms and conditions of Article VII of the Loan Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without the need for notice or demand, the license granted to Trustor herein shall automatically be revoked. Beneficiary and Trustee are hereby granted and assigned by Trustor the right, at its option, upon revocation of the license granted herein, to enter upon the Trust Property in person, by agent or by court-appointed receiver to collect the Rents. Subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, any Rents collected after the revocation of the license shall be applied by Beneficiary in accordance with the Loan Agreement. Trustor expressly understands that any and all proposed leases are included in the definition of "LEASE" or "LEASES" as such terms may be used throughout this Deed of Trust, the Note and the other Loan Documents. 8. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF TRUST PROPERTY. Trustor shall cause the Trust Property to be operated and maintained in accordance with Section 5.5 of the Loan Agreement. 9. TRANSFER OR ENCUMBRANCE OF THE TRUST PROPERTY. (a) Trustor acknowledges that Beneficiary has examined and relied on the creditworthiness and experience of Trustor in owning and operating properties such as the Trust Property in agreeing to make the Loan, and that Beneficiary will continue to rely on Trustor's ownership of the Trust Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Trust Property as security for repayment of the Debt. Trustor acknowledges that Beneficiary has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Trust Property so as to ensure that, should Trustor default in the repayment of the Debt, Beneficiary can recover the Debt by a sale of the Trust Property. Except as expressly permitted under this Deed of Trust, the Loan Agreement or under the other Loan Documents, Trustor shall not cause or suffer to occur or exist, directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, any sale, transfer, mortgage, pledge, lien or encumbrance (other than Permitted Encumbrances) (collectively, "TRANSFERS") of (i) all or any part of the Trust Property or (ii) any direct or indirect beneficial ownership interest (in whole or 7 part) in Trustor, irrespective of the number of tiers of ownership, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary. (b) The occurrence of any Transfer in violation of this Section 9 shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder, whereupon Beneficiary at its option, without being required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder, may declare the Debt immediately due and payable. (c) Beneficiary's consent to one Transfer shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Beneficiary's right to require such consent to any future occurrence of same. Any Transfer made in contravention of this paragraph shall be null and void and of no force and effect. (d) Trustor agrees to bear and shall pay or reimburse Beneficiary on demand for all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements. title search costs and title insurance endorsement premiums) incurred by Beneficiary in connection with the review, approval and documentation of any such Transfer which requires the consent of Lender. 10. CHANGES IN LAWS REGARDING TAXATION. If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Deed of Trust which deducts the Debt from the value of the Trust Property for the purpose of taxation or which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Beneficiary's interest in the Trust Property, Trustor will pay such tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. In the event Beneficiary is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of such tax or interest and penalties by Trustor would be unlawful or taxable to Beneficiary or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury, then in any such event, Beneficiary shall have the option, by written notice of not less than ninety (90) days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable and, provided no Event of Default exists, no Prepayment Consideration shall be due in connection therewith. 11. NO CREDITS ON ACCOUNT OF THE DEBT. Trustor will not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges assessed against the Trust Property, or any part thereof, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Trust Property, or any part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of this Deed of Trust or the Debt. In the event such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by law, Beneficiary shall have the option, by written notice of not less than ninety (90) days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable and, provided no Event of Default exists, no Prepayment Consideration shall be due in connection therewith. 12. DOCUMENTARY STAMPS. If at any time the United States of America, any State thereof or any subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Note or this Deed of Trust, or impose any other tax or charge on the same, Trustor will pay for the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. 13. PERFORMANCE OF OTHER AGREEMENTS. Trustor shall observe and perform each and every material term to be observed or performed by Trustor pursuant to the terms of any agreement or recorded instrument (including all instruments comprising the Permitted Encumbrances) affecting or pertaining to the Trust Property, and will not suffer or permit any 8 default or event of default (after giving effect to any applicable notice requirements and cure periods) to exist under any of the foregoing. 14. FURTHER ACTS; SECONDARY MARKET TRANSACTIONS. (a) Trustor will, at the sole cost and expense of Trustor, and without expense to Beneficiary, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, assignments, notices of assignment, Uniform Commercial Code financing statements reasonably or continuation statements, transfers and assurances as Beneficiary shall, from time to time, reasonably require, for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring, and confirming unto Beneficiary the property and rights hereby deeded, mortgaged, given, granted, bargained, sold, alienated, enfeoffed, conveyed, confirmed, pledged, assigned and hypothecated or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which Trustor may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Beneficiary, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Deed of Trust or for filing, registering or recording this Deed of Trust or for facilitating the sale of the Loan and the Loan Documents as described in subparagraph (b) below. Trustor, on demand, will deliver and hereby authorizes Beneficiary to file in the name of Trustor, one or more financing statements, chattel mortgages or other instruments, to evidence more effectively the security interest of Beneficiary in the Trust Property. Upon foreclosure or the appointment of a receiver, Trustor will, at its sole cost and expense, and without expense to Beneficiary, cooperate fully and completely to effect the assignment or transfer of any license, permit, agreement or any other right necessary or useful to the operation of the Trust Property. Trustor grants to Beneficiary and Trustee an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of exercising and perfecting any and all rights and remedies available to Beneficiary and Trustee at law and in equity, including, without limitation, such rights and remedies available to Beneficiary and Trustee pursuant to this paragraph. (b) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement, Beneficiary shall have the right to engage in one or more Secondary Market Transactions (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and, in connection therewith, Beneficiary may transfer its obligations under this Deed of Trust, the Loan Agreement and under the other Loan Documents (or may transfer the portion thereof corresponding to the transferred portion of the Debt), and thereafter Beneficiary shall be relieved of any obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents arising after the date of said transfer with respect to the transferred interest. 15. RECORDING OF DEED OF TRUST, ETC. Trustor forthwith upon the execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust and thereafter, from time to time, will cause this Deed of Trust, and any security instrument creating a lien or security interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Trust Property and each instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect the lien or security interest hereof upon, and the interest of Beneficiary in, the Trust Property. Trustor will pay all filing, registration or recording fees, and all expenses incident to the preparation, execution and acknowledgment of this Deed of Trust, any deed of trust supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Trust Property and any instrument of further assurance, and all federal, state, county and municipal, taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and 9 delivery of this Deed of Trust, any deed of trust supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Trust Property or any instrument of further assurance, except where prohibited by law so to do. Trustor shall hold harmless and indemnify Beneficiary, its successors and assigns, against any liability incurred by reason of the imposition of any tax on the making and recording of this Deed of Trust. 16. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. Trustor agrees to give prompt notice to Beneficiary of the insolvency or bankruptcy filing of Trustor or the death, insolvency or bankruptcy filing of any Guarantor. 17. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The Debt shall become immediately due and payable at the option of Beneficiary upon the happening of any Event of Default. The term "EVENT OF DEFAULT" as used in this Deed of Trust shall have the meaning given such term in the Loan Agreement. 18. RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Beneficiary may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Trustor and without releasing Trustor from any obligation hereunder, make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as Beneficiary may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Beneficiary is authorized to enter upon the Trust Property for such purposes or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Trust Property or to foreclose this Deed of Trust or collect the Debt, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements to the extent permitted by law), with interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement) for the period after notice from Beneficiary that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Beneficiary, shall constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents and shall be due and payable to Beneficiary upon demand. 19. REMEDIES. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Beneficiary or Trustee may take such action, without notice or demand, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Trustor and in and to the Trust Property by Beneficiary itself or through Trustee or otherwise, including, without limitation, the following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Beneficiary may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Beneficiary: (i) declare the entire Debt to be immediately due and payable; (ii) institute a proceeding or proceedings, judicial or nonjudicial, by advertisement or otherwise, for the complete foreclosure of this Deed of Trust in which case the Trust Property or any interest therein may be sold for cash or upon credit in one or more parcels or in several interests or portions and in any order or manner; (iii) with or without entry, to the extent permitted and pursuant to the procedures provided by applicable law, institute proceedings for the partial foreclosure of this Deed of Trust for the portion of the Debt then due and payable, subject to the continuing lien of this Deed of Trust for the balance of the Debt not then due; 10 (iv) sell for cash or upon credit the Trust Property or any part thereof and all estate, claim, demand, right, title and interest of Trustor therein and rights of redemption thereof, pursuant to the power of sale contained herein or otherwise, at one or more sales, as an entirety or in parcels, at such time and place, upon such terms and after such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by law; (v) institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained herein, or in any of the other Loan Documents; (vi) recover judgment on the Note either before, during or after any proceedings for the enforcement of this Deed of Trust; (vii) apply for the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator or conservator of the Trust Property, to the extent permitted by applicable law, without notice and without regard for the adequacy of the security for the Debt and without regard for the solvency of the Trustor, any Guarantor or of any person, firm or other entity liable for the payment of the Debt; (viii) enforce Beneficiary's interest in the Leases and Rents and enter into or upon the Trust Property, either personally or by its agents, nominees or attorneys and dispossess Trustor and its agents and servants therefrom, and thereupon Beneficiary may (A) use, operate, manage, control, insure, maintain, repair, restore and otherwise deal with all and every part of the Trust Property and conduct the business thereat; (B) complete any construction on the Trust Property in such manner and form as Beneficiary deems advisable; (C) make alterations, additions, renewals, replacements and improvements to or on the Trust Property; (D) exercise all rights and powers of Trustor with respect to the Trust Property, whether in the name of Trustor or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to make, cancel, enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants, and demand, sue for, collect and receive all Rents; and (E) apply the receipts from the Trust Property to the payment of Debt, after deducting therefrom all expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with the aforesaid operations and all amounts necessary to pay the taxes, assessments insurance and other charges in connection with the Trust Property, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Beneficiary, its counsel, agents and employees; or (ix) pursue such other rights and remedies as may be available at law or in equity or under the Uniform Commercial Code. In the event of a sale, by foreclosure or otherwise, of less than all of the Trust Property, this Deed of Trust shall continue as a lien on the remaining portion of the Trust Property. (b) The proceeds of any sale made under or by virtue of this paragraph, together with any other sums which then may be held by Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust, whether under the provisions of this paragraph or otherwise, shall be applied by Beneficiary to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportion as Beneficiary in its sole discretion shall deem proper. 11 (c) Beneficiary or Trustee may adjourn from time to time any sale by it to be made under or by virtue of this Deed of Trust by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale or sales; and, except as otherwise provided by any applicable provision of law, Beneficiary or Trustee, without further notice or publication, may make such sale at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned. (d) Upon the completion of any sale or sales pursuant hereto, Trustee, Beneficiary, or an officer of any court empowered to do so, shall execute and deliver to the accepted purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient instrument, or good and sufficient instruments, conveying, assigning and transferring all estate, right, title and interest in and to the property and rights sold. Any sale or sales made under or by virtue of this paragraph, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, shall operate to divest all the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Trustor in and to the properties and rights so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Trustor and against any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof from, through or under Trustor. (e) Upon any sale made under or by virtue of this paragraph, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Beneficiary may bid for and acquire the Trust Property or any part thereof and in lieu of paying cash therefor may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Debt the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale and costs of the action and any other sums which Beneficiary is authorized to deduct under this Deed of Trust. (f) No recovery of any judgment by Beneficiary and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon the Trust Property or upon any other property of Trustor shall affect in any manner or to any extent the lien of this Deed of Trust upon the Trust Property or any part thereof, or any liens, rights, powers or remedies of Beneficiary hereunder, but such liens, rights, powers and remedies of Beneficiary shall continue unimpaired as before. (g) Beneficiary may terminate or rescind any proceeding or other action brought in connection with its exercise of the remedies provided in this paragraph at any time before the conclusion thereof, as determined in Beneficiary's sole discretion and without prejudice to Beneficiary. (h) Beneficiary or Trustee may resort to any remedies and the security given by the Note, this Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents in whole or in part, and in such portions and in such order as determined in Beneficiary's sole discretion. No such action shall in any way be considered a waiver of any rights, benefits or remedies evidenced or provided by the Note, this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents. The failure of Beneficiary or Trustee to exercise any right, remedy or option provided in the Note, this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents shall not be deemed a waiver of such right, remedy or option or of any covenant or obligation secured by the Note, this Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents. No acceptance by Beneficiary of any payment after the occurrence of any Event of Default and no payment by Beneficiary of any obligation for which Trustor is liable hereunder shall be 12 deemed to waive or cure any Event of Default with respect to Trustor, or Trustor's liability to pay such obligation. No sale of all or any portion of the Trust Property, no forbearance on the part of Beneficiary or Trustee, and no extension of time for the payment of the whole or any portion of the Debt or any other indulgence given by Beneficiary or Trustee to Trustor, shall operate to release or in any manner affect the interest of Beneficiary in the remaining Trust Property or the liability of Trustor to pay the Debt. No waiver by Beneficiary or Trustee shall be effective unless it is in writing and then only to the extent specifically stated. All reasonable costs and expenses of Beneficiary in exercising its rights and remedies under this paragraph (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements to the extent permitted by law), shall be paid by Trustor immediately upon notice from Beneficiary or Trustee, with interest at the Default Rate for the period after notice from Beneficiary or Trustee and such costs and expenses shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust. (i) The interests and rights of Beneficiary under the Note, this Deed of Trust or in any of the other Loan Documents shall not be impaired by any indulgence, including (i) any renewal, extension or modification which Beneficiary may grant with respect to any of the Debt, (ii) any surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which Beneficiary may grant with respect to the Trust Property or any portion thereof; or (iii) any release or indulgence granted to any maker, endorser, Guarantor or surety of any of the Debt. 20. RIGHT OF ENTRY. In addition to any other rights or remedies granted under this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary, Trustee and their agents shall have the right to enter and inspect the Trust Property at any reasonable time during the Term. The reasonable cost of such inspections or audits shall be borne by Trustor should Beneficiary determine that an Event of Default exists, including the cost of all follow up or additional investigations or inquiries deemed reasonably necessary by Beneficiary. The reasonable cost of such inspections, if not paid for by Trustor within ten (10) Business Days of demand therefor, may be added to the principal balance of the sums due under the Note and this Deed of Trust and shall bear interest thereafter until paid at the Default Rate. 21. SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Deed of Trust is both a real property deed of trust and a "SECURITY AGREEMENT" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code. The Trust Property includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Trustor in the Trust Property. Trustor by executing and delivering this Deed of Trust has granted and hereby grants to Beneficiary and Trustee, as security for the Debt, a security interest in the Trust Property to the full extent that the Trust Property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion of the Trust Property so subject to the Uniform Commercial Code being called in this paragraph the "COLLATERAL"). Trustor hereby agrees with Beneficiary to execute and deliver to Beneficiary, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary, such financing statements and such further assurances as Beneficiary may from time to time, reasonably consider necessary to create, perfect, and preserve Beneficiary's security interest herein granted. This Deed of Trust shall also constitute a "fixture filing" for the purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code as to all or any items of the Collateral that are or are to become fixtures under the Uniform Commercial Code. Information concerning the security interest herein granted may be obtained from the parties at the addresses of the parties set forth in the first paragraph of this Deed of Trust. If an Event of Default shall occur, Beneficiary and Trustee, in addition to any other rights and remedies which 13 either may have, shall have and may exercise immediately and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Beneficiary or Trustee may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or demand of Beneficiary or Trustee after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Trustor shall at its expense assemble the Collateral and make it available to Beneficiary and Trustee at a convenient place reasonably acceptable to Beneficiary. Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary and Trustee within ten (10) Business Days of demand therefor any and all expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by Beneficiary and Trustee in protecting the interest in the Collateral and in enforcing the rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Beneficiary and Trustee with respect to the Collateral sent to Trustor in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Trustor. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may be applied by Beneficiary to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Beneficiary in its sole discretion shall deem proper. In the event of any change in name, identity or structure of any Trustor, such Trustor shall notify Beneficiary and Trustee thereof and promptly after Beneficiary's request shall execute, file and record such Uniform Commercial Code forms as are necessary to maintain the priority of Beneficiary's lien upon and security interest in the Collateral, and shall pay all reasonable expenses and fees in connection with the filing and recording thereof. If Beneficiary shall require the filing or recording of additional Uniform Commercial Code forms or continuation statements, Trustor shall, promptly after request, execute, file and record such Uniform Commercial Code forms or continuation statements as Beneficiary shall deem reasonably necessary, and shall pay all reasonable expenses and fees in connection with the filing and recording thereof, it being understood and agreed, however, that no such additional documents shall increase Trustor's obligations or decrease Trustor's rights under the Note, this Deed of Trust and any of the other Loan Documents. Trustor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to file with the appropriate public office on its behalf any financing or other statements signed only by Beneficiary, as secured party, in connection with the Collateral covered by this Deed of Trust. 22. ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. Beneficiary or Trustee has the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Trust Property and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Trustor, which Beneficiary, in its reasonable discretion, decides should be brought to protect their interest in the Trust Property. Beneficiary shall, at its option, be subrogated to the lien of any deed of trust or other security instrument discharged in whole or in part by the Debt, and any such subrogation rights shall constitute additional security for the payment of the Debt. 23. RECOVERY OF SUMS REQUIRED TO BE PAID. Beneficiary shall have the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which constitute a part of the Debt as the same become due, without regard to whether or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Beneficiary or Trustee thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by Trustor existing at the time such earlier action was commenced. 14 24. MARSHALLING AND OTHER MATTERS. Trustor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale hereunder of the Trust Property or any part thereof or any interest therein. Further, Trustor hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of this Deed of Trust on behalf of Trustor, and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in or title to the Trust Property subsequent to the date of this Deed of Trust and on behalf of all persons to the extent permitted by applicable law. Beneficiary shall not be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Person or in payment of any of the Debt. 25. HANDICAPPED ACCESS. (a) Trustor agrees that the Trust Property shall at all times comply, with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, if applicable, all state and local laws and ordinances related to handicapped access and all rules, regulations, and orders issued pursuant thereto including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities (collectively "ACCESS LAWS"). (b) Without limiting the foregoing, Trustor shall cause any alterations to the Trust Property to comply with all applicable Access Laws. The foregoing shall apply to tenant improvements constructed by Trustor or by any of its tenants. Beneficiary may condition any such approval upon receipt of a certificate of Access Law compliance from an architect, engineer, or other person acceptable to Beneficiary. (c) Trustor agrees to give prompt notice to Beneficiary of the receipt by Trustor of any material complaints related to violation of any Access Laws and of the commencement of any proceedings or investigations which relate to compliance with applicable Access Laws. 26. INDEMNIFICATION. In addition to any other indemnifications provided herein or in the other Loan Documents, Trustor shall protect, defend, indemnify and save harmless Beneficiary and Trustee and their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, the trustee and/or the trust under any trust agreement executed in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction backed in whole or in part by the Loan and any other person which may hereafter be the holder of the Note or any interest therein), and the officers, directors, stockholders, partners, members, employees, agents, and Affiliates of Beneficiary and such successors and assigns (each an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, demands, damages, penalties, causes of action, losses, fines, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements), imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Party by reason of: (a) ownership of this Deed of Trust, the Trust Property or any interest therein or receipt of any Rents; (b) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Trust Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (c) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or about the Trust Property or any part thereof or on adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (d) any failure on the part of Trustor or Trustee to perform or comply with any of 15 the terms of this Deed of Trust; (e) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Trust Property or any part thereof; (f) any failure of the Premises or the Improvements to comply with any applicable law, statute, code, ordinance, rule or regulation including, without limitation, any Access Laws; (g) any default by Trustor under this Deed of Trust, the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (h) any actions taken by any Indemnified Party in the enforcement of this Deed of Trust and other Loan Documents in accordance with their respective terms; (i) any representation or warranty made in the Note, this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents being false or misleading in any material respect as of the date such representation or warranty was made; (j) any claim by brokers, finders or similar persons claiming to be entitled to a commission in connection with any Lease or other transaction involving the Trust Property or any part thereof under any legal requirement or any liability asserted against Beneficiary with respect thereto; and (k) the claims of any lessee of any or any portion of the Trust Property or any person acting through or under any lessee or otherwise arising under or as a consequence of any Lease (collectively, the "INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES"), provided that Trustor shall not have an obligation to an Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to the Indemnified Liabilities arising from the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any amounts payable to Beneficiary or Trustee by reason of the application of this paragraph shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and shall become immediately due and payable and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date loss or damage is sustained by Beneficiary or Trustee until paid. The obligations and liabilities of Trustor under this paragraph shall survive the termination, satisfaction, or assignment of this Deed of Trust and the exercise by Beneficiary of any of its rights or remedies hereunder, including, but not limited to, the acquisition of the Trust Property by foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure. 27. NOTICES. Any notice, demand, statement, request or consent made hereunder shall be in writing, addressed to the intended recipient at its address set forth in the Loan Agreement, and shall be made and deemed given in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. 28.

NON-WAIVER. The failure of Beneficiary or Trustee to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Deed of Trust. Any consent or approval by Beneficiary in any single instance shall not be deemed or construed to be Beneficiary's consent or approval in any like matter arising at a subsequent date. Trustor shall not be relieved of Trustor's obligations hereunder by reason of (a) the failure of Beneficiary or Trustee to comply with any request of Trustor or any Guarantor to take any action to foreclose this Deed of Trust or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Note, 16 or the other Loan Documents, (b) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Trust Property, or of any person liable for the Debt or any portion thereof, or (c) any agreement or stipulation by Beneficiary extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Note, this Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents. Beneficiary may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other security held by Beneficiary in such order and manner as Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, may elect. Beneficiary or Trustee may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Beneficiary or Trustee thereafter to foreclosure this Deed of Trust. The rights and remedies of Beneficiary or Trustee under this Deed of Trust shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Beneficiary or Trustee shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Beneficiary and Trustee shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity. 30. NO ORAL CHANGE. This Deed of Trust, and any provisions hereof, may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Trustor or Beneficiary, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought. 31.

Such sale shall be made at the area within the courthouse of the county in which the Trust Property (or any portion thereof to be sold) is situated (whether the parts or parcels thereof, if any, in different counties are contiguous or not, and without the necessity of having any personal property hereby secured present at such sale) which is designated by the applicable court of such County as the area in which public sales are to take place, or, if no such area is designated, at the area at the courthouse designated in the notice of sale as the area in which the sale will take place, on such day and at such times as permitted under applicable law of the State where the Trust Property is located, after advertising the time, place and terms of the sale of the Trust Property for twenty-one (21) days by three (3) weekly notices in a newspaper published in the County wherein the Trust Property is wholly or partially located. Trustor agrees that the Trustee shall have the right to adjourn any such sale to another date and time to be announced at the time and place of the sale as set forth in the published notice, and in such event, no further publication of the sale is required. The sale or sales of less than the whole of the Trust Property shall not exhaust the power of sale granted herein, and the Trustee is specifically empowered to make successive sales under such power until the whole of the Trust Property shall be sold. At any such public sale, Trustee may execute and deliver in the name of Trustor to the purchaser a conveyance of the Trust Property or any part of the Trust Property in fee simple.

If the Note and other secured indebtedness is now or hereafter further secured by any chattel Deed of Trusts, pledges, contracts or guaranty, assignments of lease, or other security instruments, Beneficiary at its 19 option may exhaust the remedies granted under any of said security instruments either concurrently or independently, and in such order as Beneficiary may determine. (b) Upon any foreclosure sale or sales of all or any portion of the Trust Property under the power herein granted, Beneficiary may bid for and purchase the Trust Property and shall be entitled to apply all or any part of the Debt as a credit to the purchase price. (c) In the event of a foreclosure or a sale of all or any portion of the Trust Property under the power herein granted, the proceeds of said sale shall be applied, in whatever order Beneficiary in its sole discretion may decide, to the reasonable expenses of such sale and of all proceedings in connection therewith (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), to fees and expenses of Trustee (including, without limitation, Trustee's reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), to insurance premiums, liens, assessments, taxes and charges (including, without limitation, utility charges advanced by Beneficiary), to payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Debt, and to the accrued interest on all of the foregoing; and the remainder, if any, shall be paid to Trustor, or to the person or entity lawfully entitled thereto. 41. LIMITATIONS ON RECOURSE PROVISIONS. The obligations of Trustor hereunder are subject to limitations on recourse as provided in Article XII of the Loan Agreement. 42. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) Intentionally Omitted. (b) The Loan Documents contain the entire agreement between Trustor and Beneficiary relating to or connected with the Loan. Any other agreements relating to or connected with the Loan not expressly set forth in the Loan Documents are null and void and superseded in their entirety by the provisions of the Loan Documents. (c) Trustor represents and warrants to Beneficiary that, to Trustor's knowledge, there has not been committed by Trustor or any other person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Trust Property any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture as against the Trust Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Trustor's obligations under the Note or under any of the other Loan Documents. Trustor hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, intentionally permit or suffer to exist any act, omission or circumstance affording such right of forfeiture. In furtherance thereof, Trustor hereby indemnifies Beneficiary and agrees to defend and hold Beneficiary harmless from and against any loss, damage or injury by reason of the breach of the covenants and agreements or the representations and warranties set forth in this paragraph. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the filing of formal charges or the commencement of proceedings against Trustor or all or any part of the Trust Property under any federal or state law for which forfeiture of the Trust Property or any part thereof or of any monies paid in performance of Trustor's obligations under the Loan Documents is a potential result, shall, at the election of Beneficiary, constitute an Event of Default hereunder without notice or opportunity to cure. 20 (d) Trustor acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Trustor is relying solely on its own judgement and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Beneficiary or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Beneficiary. Trustor acknowledges that Beneficiary engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of the Trustor or its affiliates. Trustor acknowledges that it is represented by competent counsel and has consulted counsel before executing the Loan Documents. (e) Intentionally Omitted. (f) This Deed of Trust and the obligations arising hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and any applicable laws of the United States of America, except that at all times the provisions for the creation, perfection and enforcement of the liens and the security interests created pursuant to this Deed of Trust shall be governed by the laws of the State where the Premises are located. 43. FUTURE ADVANCES. This Deed of Trust secures "FUTURE ADVANCES," as hereinafter defined. Any portion of the Debt which is incurred after the execution of this Deed of Trust pursuant to any instrument referring to this Deed of Trust, or which is evidenced by any instrument stating that said indebtedness is secured by this Deed of Trust, shall be defined as a "FUTURE ADVANCE," including, without limitation, indebtedness incurred or advanced by Beneficiary to Trustor or pursuant to the Loan Documents. It is agreed that the Loan Documents are intended to secure all of the debts and obligations referred to in the Loan Documents, some of which will be obligatory future advances, and all advances under the Loan Documents will be for commercial purposes. This Paragraph shall serve as notice to any subsequent holder of a lien, encumbrance, security title or other claim in and to the Trust Property that Beneficiary claims the priority of the lien of this Deed of Trust for all such Future Advances, as well as for all other obligations secured hereby. This Paragraph shall also be notice that Beneficiary reserves the right, upon agreement thereto with Trustor, to modify, extend, consolidate, and renew the Debt, or any portions thereof, and the rate of interest charged thereon, without affecting the priority of the lien created by this Deed of Trust. 44. CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION. The mortgages and deeds of trust (other than this Deed of Trust) listed on EXHIBIT B attached hereto and made a part hereof, as any of same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, are collectively referred to for purposes of this Section 44 as the "OTHER MORTGAGES." This Deed of Trust, as it may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, together with the Other Mortgages, are collectively referred to for purposes of this Section 44 as the "MORTGAGES." The Debt is secured by, among other things, the Mortgages, which encumber real and personal property in the States set forth on EXHIBIT B, as more particularly described in each of the Mortgages. The Debt may be accelerated as provided in the Loan Documents. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Beneficiary may, at its option, accelerate the Debt and foreclose upon any one or more of the Mortgages or resort to any one or more of its other rights and remedies under any or all of the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents. Except as otherwise provided herein, all of the real and personal property conveyed and/or mortgaged by the Mortgages are security for the Debt without allocation of any one or more of the parcels or 21 portions thereof to any portion of the Debt. Beneficiary may allocate the proceeds that it receives upon the exercise of its rights and remedies, including foreclosure, to payment of the Debt as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may determine to be advisable pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. Beneficiary may proceed, at the same or different times, to foreclose the Mortgages or any one or more of them, by any proceedings appropriate in the state where any of the real property encumbered by one or more of the Mortgages lies, including private sale if permitted, and no event of enforcement taking place in any state, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any pending foreclosure, judgment or decree of foreclosure, foreclosure sale, rents received, possession taken, deficiency judgment or decrees, or judgment taken on the Debt, shall in any way stay, preclude or bar enforcement of the Mortgages or any of them in any other state, and Beneficiary may pursue any or all of its remedies to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents until all of the Debt and all other obligations now or hereafter secured by any or all of the Mortgages have been paid or discharged in full. Additionally, and without limitation of any other provision of this Deed of Trust, if this Deed of Trust is foreclosed and the Trust Property is sold (or any part thereof) pursuant to foreclosure or other proceedings, and if the proceeds of such sale (after application of such proceeds as provided in this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents) are not sufficient to pay the total sum of the Debt then outstanding and any other amounts provided for by applicable law (the "BALANCE OWED"), then, to the extent permitted by law, the Debt shall not be satisfied to the extent of the Balance Owed, but such Debt shall continue in existence and continue to be evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents and the Mortgages. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, if Beneficiary shall acquire the Trust Property as a result of any foreclosure or other sale (whether by bidding all or any portion of the Debt or otherwise), the proceeds of such sale, to the extent permitted by law, shall not be deemed to include (and Trustor shall not be entitled to any benefit or credit on account of) proceeds of any subsequent sale of the Trust Property by Beneficiary. Without limitation of any other provision hereof, Trustor further agrees that if any of the Other Mortgages are foreclosed and sale is made of any of the property subject to any Other Mortgages, and if the proceeds of such sale (after application of such proceeds as provided for herein and after deducting all accrued and general and special taxes and assessments) are not sufficient to pay the Debt and any other amounts provided for by applicable law, then, to the extent permitted by law, the Debt then outstanding shall not be satisfied to the extent of the Balance Owed, but such Debt shall continue in existence and continue to be evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents and the Mortgages existing immediately prior to any such foreclosure, except such Mortgages foreclosed upon. No release of personal liability, if any, of any Person whatsoever and no release of any portion of the property now or hereafter subject to the lien of any of the Mortgages shall have any effect whatsoever by way of impairment or disturbance of the lien or priority of any other of the Mortgages or the unreleased properties encumbered by any of the Mortgages, to the extent permitted by law. Any foreclosure or other appropriate remedy brought in any of the states aforesaid may be brought and prosecuted as to any part of the security, wherever located, without regard to the fact that foreclosure proceedings or other remedies have or have not been instituted elsewhere on any other property subject to the lien of the Mortgages. Neither Trustor nor any Person claiming by, through or under Trustor shall have any right to marshal the assets, all such rights being hereby expressly waived as to Trustor and all Persons claiming by, through or under Trustor, Debt, without limitation, junior lienors. Each of Trustor and all endorsers, guarantors and sureties of the Debt, hereby waives any and all rights arising because of payment or 22 performance by Trustor of any Debt (a) against any Person by way of subrogation of the rights of Beneficiary or (b) against any Person obligated to pay or perform the Debt or other obligations secured by the Other Mortgages by way of contribution, reimbursement or otherwise. 45.

WARRANTY OF TITLE. Borrower warrants that Borrower has good and marketable title to the Property and has the full power, authority and right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Security Deed and to deed, encumber, give, grant, bargain, sell, alienate, enfeoff, convey, confirm, pledge and assign the same and that Borrower possesses a fee estate in 4 the Premises and the Improvements and that it owns the Property free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and charges whatsoever except for the Permitted Encumbrances and that this Security Deed is and will remain a valid and enforceable first lien on and security interest in the Property, subject only to said exceptions. Borrower represents and warrants that none of the Permitted Encumbrances will, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect (i) Borrower's ability to pay in full in a timely manner its obligations, including, without limitation, the Debt, (ii) the use of the Property for the use currently being made thereof, (iii) the operation of the Property for the operation currently being made thereof, or (iv) the value of the Property. Borrower shall forever warrant, defend and preserve such title and the validity and priority of the lien of this Security Deed and shall forever warrant and defend the same to Lender against the claims of all persons whomsoever. 3. INSURANCE. Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall obtain and maintain during the entire term of this Security Deed (the "Term") policies of insurance as required pursuant to Section 5.4 of the Loan Agreement, and pay all premiums thereon (the "INSURANCE PREMIUMS"). 4. PAYMENT OF IMPOSITIONS AND OTHER CHARGES. Subject to Borrower's right to contest set forth in Section 5.3(B) of the Loan Agreement and the provisions of Section 5 below, and pursuant to the provisions of the Cash Management Agreement, Borrower shall cause to be paid all Impositions now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof prior to the date the same shall become delinquent. Borrower shall promptly pay for all utility services provided to the Property. Borrower shall furnish to Lender or its designee receipts for the payment of the Impositions prior to the date the same shall become delinquent (provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to furnish such receipts for payment of Impositions in the event that such Impositions have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 5 hereof). 5. IMPOSITIONS AND INSURANCE RESERVE. Borrower shall make monthly deposits into the Impositions and Insurance Reserve in accordance with, and to the extent required under Section 6.3 of the Loan Agreement and under the Cash Management Agreement. 6. CONDEMNATION. To the extent the terms of this Section 6 are inconsistent with the terms of the Loan Agreement, the terms of the Loan Agreement shall control. (a) Borrower shall promptly give Lender written notice of any known actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding affecting the Property or any portion thereof and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Subject to the terms of Section 6(b) below, Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower's attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any award or payment for said condemnation or eminent domain and to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such proceeding, subject to the provisions of this Security Deed and the Loan Agreement. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi public authority through eminent domain or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note, in this Security Deed and the other Loan Documents and the Debt shall not be reduced until any 5 award or payment therefor shall have been actually received after expenses of collection and applied by Lender to the discharge of the Debt in accordance with the terms hereof. In accordance with the terms hereof, Borrower shall cause the award or payment made in any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding completed after the date hereof, which is payable to Borrower, to be paid directly to Lender. Lender may apply any such award or payment to the reduction or discharge of the Debt whether or not then due and payable; such application to be made without any Prepayment Consideration (as defined in the Loan Agreement), provided that if Borrower receives any such award or payment, Borrower pays such award or payment to Lender within one hundred twenty (120) days following the date of Borrower's receipt thereof, except that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then such application shall be subject to the Prepayment Consideration computed in accordance with the Note. If the Property is sold following an Event of Default, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of such award or payment, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive said award or payment, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall not exercise the foregoing rights and Borrower may prosecute any condemnation proceeding and settle or compromise and collect any claim involving an award and/or claim for damages of not more than the Restoration Threshold provided that: (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) in Lender's reasonable good faith judgment, such condemnation or taking does not and will not materially restrict access to the Property or otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect, and the Property remaining after such condemnation or taking is capable of being restored to an economically viable whole of substantially the same type which existed prior to the condemnation or taking or in substantial compliance with all applicable laws, (iii) Borrower applies the proceeds of such award to any reconstruction or repair of the Property necessary as a result of such condemnation or taking, (iv) Borrower promptly commences and diligently prosecutes such reconstruction or repair to completion in accordance with all applicable laws and (v) the plans and specifications for such work shall be subject to Lender's reasonable approval. Subject to the terms hereof, Borrower authorizes Lender to apply such awards, payments, proceeds or damages, after the deduction of Lender's reasonable expenses incurred in the collection of such amounts, at Lender's option, to restoration or repair of the Property or to payment of the sums secured by this Security Deed, whether or not then due, in the order determined by Lender, with the balance, if any, to Borrower. Application of any such award or payment to payment of the sums secured by this Security Deed pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be made without any Prepayment Consideration, provided that if Borrower receives any such award or payment, Borrower pays such award or payment to Lender within one hundred twenty (120) days following Borrower's receipt thereof, except that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then such application shall be subject to the Prepayment Consideration computed in accordance with the Note. Subject to the provisions of clauses (i) through (v) of this Section 6(b), Lender shall not exercise Lender's option to apply such awards or damages to payment of the sums secured by this Security Deed provided that each of the conditions (as applicable) to the release of insurance proceeds for restoration or repair of the Property under Section 5.5 of the Loan Agreement have been satisfied with respect to such condemnation awards or damages. Any application of proceeds to principal shall not extend or postpone the due date of the monthly installments due hereunder, under the Note or under any of the Loan Documents or change the amount of such installments. Borrower agrees to execute 6 such further evidence of assignment of any awards, proceeds, damages or claims arising in connection with such condemnation or taking as Lender may reasonably require. 7. LEASES AND RENTS. To the extent the terms of this Section 7 are inconsistent with the terms of the Loan Agreement or the Assignment of Leases and Rents, the terms of the Loan Agreement and the Assignment of Leases and Rents shall control. Borrower does hereby absolutely and unconditionally assign to Lender, all Borrower's right, title and interest in all current and future Leases and Rents, it being intended by Borrower that this assignment constitutes a present, absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. Such assignment to Lender shall not be construed to bind Lender to the performance of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions contained in any such Lease or otherwise impose any obligation upon Lender. Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to Lender such additional instruments, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, as may hereafter be reasonably requested by Lender to further evidence and confirm such assignment. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall have the sole but revocable right and license to act as landlord under the Leases and to enforce the covenants of the Leases, provided, however, Borrower acknowledges it has no right to collect or use Rents except in accordance with the terms and conditions of Article VII of the Loan Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without the need for notice or demand, the license granted to Borrower herein shall automatically be revoked. Lender is hereby granted and assigned by Borrower the right, at its option, upon revocation of the license granted herein, to enter upon the Property in person, by agent or by court-appointed receiver to collect the Rents. Subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, any Rents collected after the revocation of the license shall be applied by Lender in accordance with the Loan Agreement. Borrower expressly understands that any and all proposed leases are included in the definition of "LEASE" or "LEASES" as such terms may be used throughout this Security Deed, the Note and the other Loan Documents. 8. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTY. Borrower shall cause the Property to be operated and maintained in accordance with Section 5.5 of the Loan Agreement. 9. TRANSFER OR ENCUMBRANCE OF THE PROPERTY. (a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has examined and relied on the creditworthiness and experience of Borrower in owning and operating properties such as the Property in agreeing to make the Loan, and that Lender will continue to rely on Borrower's ownership of the Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Property as security for repayment of the Debt. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that, should Borrower default in the repayment of the Debt, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the Property. Except as expressly permitted under this Security Deed, the Loan Agreement or under the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall not cause or suffer to occur or exist, directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, any sale, transfer, mortgage, pledge, lien or encumbrance (other than Permitted Encumbrances) (collectively, "TRANSFERS") of (i) all or any part of the Property or (ii) any direct or indirect beneficial ownership interest (in whole or part) in Borrower, irrespective of the number of tiers of ownership, without the prior written consent of Lender. 7 (b) The occurrence of any Transfer in violation of this Section 9 shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder, whereupon Lender at its option, without being required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder, may declare the Debt immediately due and payable. (c) Lender's consent to one Transfer shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Lender's right to require such consent to any future occurrence of same. Any Transfer made in contravention of this paragraph shall be null and void and of no force and effect. (d) Borrower agrees to bear and shall pay or reimburse Lender on demand for all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements. title search costs and title insurance endorsement premiums) incurred by Lender in connection with the review, approval and documentation of any such Transfer which requires the consent of Lender. 10. CHANGES IN LAWS REGARDING TAXATION. If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Security Deed which deducts the Debt from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation or which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Lender's interest in the Property, Borrower will pay such tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. In the event Lender is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of such tax or interest and penalties by Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to Lender or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury, then in any such event, Lender shall have the option, by written notice of not less than ninety (90) days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable and, provided no Event of Default exists, no Prepayment Consideration shall be due in connection therewith. 11. NO CREDITS ON ACCOUNT OF THE DEBT. Borrower will not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges assessed against the Property, or any part thereof, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Property, or any part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of this Security Deed or the Debt. In the event such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by law, Lender shall have the option, by written notice of not less than ninety (90) days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable and, provided no Event of Default exists, no Prepayment Consideration shall be due in connection therewith. 12. DOCUMENTARY STAMPS. If at any time the United States of America, any State thereof or any subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Note or this Security Deed, or impose any other tax or charge on the same, Borrower will pay for the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. 13. PERFORMANCE OF OTHER AGREEMENTS. Borrower shall observe and perform each and every material term to be observed or performed by Borrower pursuant to the terms of any agreement or recorded instrument (including all instruments comprising the Permitted Encumbrances) affecting or pertaining to the Property, and will not suffer or permit any default or event of default (after giving effect to any applicable notice requirements and cure periods) to exist under any of the foregoing. 8 14. FURTHER ACTS; SECONDARY MARKET TRANSACTIONS. (a) Borrower will, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, and without expense to Lender, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, assignments, notices of assignment, Uniform Commercial Code financing statements or continuation statements, transfers and assurances as Lender shall, from time to time, reasonably require, for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring, and confirming unto Lender the property and rights hereby deeded, given, granted, bargained, sold, alienated, enfeoffed, conveyed, confirmed, pledged and assigned or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which Borrower may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Lender, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Security Deed or for filing, registering or recording this Security Deed or for facilitating the sale of the Loan and the Loan Documents as described in subparagraph (b) below. Borrower, on demand, will deliver and hereby authorizes Lender to file in the name of Borrower, one or more financing statements, chattel mortgages or other instruments, to evidence more effectively the security interest of Lender in the Property. Upon foreclosure or the appointment of a receiver, Borrower will, at its sole cost and expense, and without expense to Lender, cooperate fully and completely to effect the assignment or transfer of any license, permit, agreement or any other right necessary or useful to the operation of the Property. Borrower grants to Lender an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of exercising and perfecting any and all rights and remedies available to Lender at law and in equity, including, without limitation, such rights and remedies available to Lender pursuant to this paragraph. (b) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement, Lender shall have the right to engage in one or more Secondary Market Transactions (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and, in connection therewith, Lender may transfer its obligations under this Security Deed, the Loan Agreement and under the other Loan Documents (or may transfer the portion thereof corresponding to the transferred portion of the Debt), and thereafter Lender shall be relieved of any obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents arising after the date of said transfer with respect to the transferred interest. 15. RECORDING OF SECURITY DEED, ETC. Borrower forthwith upon the execution and delivery of this Security Deed and thereafter, from time to time, will cause this Security Deed, and any security instrument creating a lien or security interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Property and each instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect the lien or security interest hereof upon, and the interest of Lender in, the Property. Borrower will pay all filing, registration or recording fees, and all expenses incident to the preparation, execution and acknowledgment of this Security Deed, any deed of trust supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Property and any instrument of further assurance, and all federal, state, county and municipal, taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of this Security Deed, any deed of trust supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Property or any instrument of further assurance, except where prohibited by law so to do. Borrower shall hold harmless and indemnify Lender, its successors and assigns, against any liability incurred by reason of the imposition of any tax on the making and recording of this Security Deed. 9 16. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. Borrower agrees to give prompt notice to Lender of the insolvency or bankruptcy filing of Borrower or the death, insolvency or bankruptcy filing of any Guarantor. 17. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The Debt shall become immediately due and payable at the option of Lender upon the happening of any Event of Default. The term "EVENT OF DEFAULT" as used in this Security Deed shall have the meaning given such term in the Loan Agreement. 18. RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder, make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property or to foreclose this Security Deed or collect the Debt, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements to the extent permitted by law), with interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement) for the period after notice from Lender that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender, shall constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by this Security Deed and the other Loan Documents and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. 19. REMEDIES. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Property by Lender itself or otherwise, including, without limitation, the following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender: (i) declare the entire Debt to be immediately due and payable; (ii) institute a proceeding or proceedings, judicial or nonjudicial, by advertisement or otherwise, for the complete foreclosure of this Security Deed in which case the Property or any interest therein may be sold for cash or upon credit in one or more parcels or in several interests or portions and in any order or manner; (iii) with or without entry, to the extent permitted and pursuant to the procedures provided by applicable law, institute proceedings for the partial foreclosure of this Security Deed for the portion of the Debt then due and payable, subject to the continuing lien of this Security Deed for the balance of the Debt not then due; (iv) sell for cash or upon credit the Property or any part thereof and all estate, claim, demand, right, title and interest of Borrower therein and rights of redemption thereof, pursuant to the power of sale contained herein or otherwise, at one or more sales, as an entirety or in parcels, at such time and place, upon such terms and after such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by law; 10 (v) institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained herein, or in any of the other Loan Documents; (vi) recover judgment on the Note either before, during or after any proceedings for the enforcement of this Security Deed, subject to compliance with statutory sale confirmation procedures; (vii) apply for the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator or conservator of the Property, to the extent permitted by applicable law, without notice and without regard for the adequacy of the security for the Debt and without regard for the solvency of the Borrower, any Guarantor or of any person, firm or other entity liable for the payment of the Debt; (viii) enforce Lender's interest in the Leases and Rents and enter into or upon the Property, either personally or by its agents, nominees or attorneys and dispossess Borrower and its agents and servants therefrom, and thereupon Lender may (A) use, operate, manage, control, insure, maintain, repair, restore and otherwise deal with all and every part of the Property and conduct the business thereat; (B) complete any construction on the Property in such manner and form as Lender deems advisable; (C) make alterations, additions, renewals, replacements and improvements to or on the Property; (D) exercise all rights and powers of Borrower with respect to the Property, whether in the name of Borrower or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to make, cancel, enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants, and demand, sue for, collect and receive all Rents; and (E) apply the receipts from the Property to the payment of Debt, after deducting therefrom all expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with the aforesaid operations and all amounts necessary to pay the taxes, assessments insurance and other charges in connection with the Property, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Lender, its counsel, agents and employees; or (ix) pursue such other rights and remedies as may be available at law or in equity or under the Uniform Commercial Code. In the event of a sale, by foreclosure or otherwise, of less than all of the Property, this Security Deed shall continue as a lien on the remaining portion of the Property. (b) The proceeds of any sale made under or by virtue of this paragraph, together with any other sums which then may be held by Lender under this Security Deed, whether under the provisions of this paragraph or otherwise, shall be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportion as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper. (c) Lender may adjourn from time to time any sale by it to be made under or by virtue of this Security Deed by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale or sales; and, except as otherwise provided by any applicable provision of law, Lender, without further notice or publication, may make such sale at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned. 11 (d) Upon the completion of any sale or sales pursuant hereto, Lender, or an officer of any court empowered to do so, shall execute and deliver to the accepted purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient instrument, or good and sufficient instruments, conveying, assigning and transferring all estate, right, title and interest in and to the property and rights sold. Any sale or sales made under or by virtue of this paragraph, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, shall operate to divest all the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Borrower in and to the properties and rights so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Borrower and against any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof from, through or under Borrower. (e) Upon any sale made under or by virtue of this paragraph, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Lender may bid for and acquire the Property or any part thereof and in lieu of paying cash therefor may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Debt the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale and costs of the action and any other sums which Lender is authorized to deduct under this Security Deed. (f) No recovery of any judgment by Lender and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon the Property or upon any other property of Borrower shall affect in any manner or to any extent the lien of this Security Deed upon the Property or any part thereof, or any liens, rights, powers or remedies of Lender hereunder, but such liens, rights, powers and remedies of Lender shall continue unimpaired as before. (g) Lender may terminate or rescind any proceeding or other action brought in connection with its exercise of the remedies provided in this paragraph at any time before the conclusion thereof, as determined in Lender's sole discretion and without prejudice to Lender. (h) Lender may resort to any remedies and the security given by the Note, this Security Deed or the other Loan Documents in whole or in part, and in such portions and in such order as determined in Lender's sole discretion. No such action shall in any way be considered a waiver of any rights, benefits or remedies evidenced or provided by the Note, this Security Deed or any of the other Loan Documents. The failure of Lender to exercise any right, remedy or option provided in the Note, this Security Deed or any of the other Loan Documents shall not be deemed a waiver of such right, remedy or option or of any covenant or obligation secured by the Note, this Security Deed or the other Loan Documents. No acceptance by Lender of any payment after the occurrence of any Event of Default and no payment by Lender of any obligation for which Borrower is liable hereunder shall be deemed to waive or cure any Event of Default with respect to Borrower, or Borrower's liability to pay such obligation. No sale of all or any portion of the Property, no forbearance on the part of Lender, and no extension of time for the payment of the whole or any portion of the Debt or any other indulgence given by Lender to Borrower, shall operate to release or in any manner affect the interest of Lender in the remaining Property or the liability of Borrower to pay the Debt. No waiver by Lender shall be effective unless it is in writing and then only to the extent specifically stated. All reasonable costs and expenses of Lender in exercising its rights and remedies under this paragraph (including 12 reasonable attorneys' fees actually incurred and disbursements to the extent permitted by law), shall be paid by Borrower immediately upon notice from Lender, with interest at the Default Rate for the period after notice from Lender and such costs and expenses shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be secured by this Security Deed. (i) The interests and rights of Lender under the Note, this Security Deed or in any of the other Loan Documents shall not be impaired by any indulgence, including (i) any renewal, extension or modification which Lender may grant with respect to any of the Debt, (ii) any surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which Lender may grant with respect to the Property or any portion thereof; or (iii) any release or indulgence granted to any maker, endorser, Guarantor or surety of any of the Debt. 20. RIGHT OF ENTRY. In addition to any other rights or remedies granted under this Security Deed, Lender and its agents shall have the right to enter and inspect the Property at any reasonable time during the Term. The reasonable cost of such inspections or audits shall be borne by Borrower should Lender determine that an Event of Default exists, including the cost of all follow up or additional investigations or inquiries deemed reasonably necessary by Lender. The reasonable cost of such inspections, if not paid for by Borrower within ten (10) Business Days of demand thereof, may be added to the principal balance of the sums due under the Note and this Security Deed and shall bear interest thereafter until paid at the Default Rate. 21. SECURITY AGREEMENT. This conveyance is intended to operate and is to be construed as a deed passing the title to the Property to Lender and is made under those provisions of the existing laws of the State of Georgia relating to deeds to secure debt (including, e.g., O.C.G.A. Section 44-14-60), and not as a mortgage, and this Security Deed also constitutes a "security agreement" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code, and the Property includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interest, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of the Borrower in the Property. The Borrower by executing and delivering this Security Deed has granted to the Lender, to secure the payment to Lender of the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Security Deed, a security interest in the Property to the full extent the Property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion of the Property so subject to the Uniform Commercial Code being called in this paragraph the "COLLATERAL"). Borrower hereby agrees with Lender to execute and deliver to Lender, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, such financing statements and such further assurances as Lender may from time to time, reasonably consider necessary to create, perfect, and preserve Lender's security interest herein granted. To the extent permitted by law, this Security Deed shall also constitute a "fixture filing" for the purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code as to all or any items of the Collateral that are or are to become fixtures under the Uniform Commercial Code. Information concerning the security interest herein granted may be obtained from the parties at the addresses of the parties set forth in the first paragraph of this Security Deed. If an Event of Default shall occur, Lender, in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have, shall have and may exercise immediately and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Lender may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or demand of Lender after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, 13 Borrower shall at its expense assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a convenient place reasonably acceptable to Lender. Borrower shall pay to Lender within ten (10) Business Days of demand therefor any and all expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by Lender in protecting the interest in the Collateral and in enforcing the rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect to the Collateral sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Borrower. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper. In the event of any change in name, identity or structure of any Borrower, such Borrower shall notify Lender thereof and promptly after Lender's request shall execute, file and record such Uniform Commercial Code forms as are necessary to maintain the priority of Lender's lien upon and security interest in the Collateral, and shall pay all reasonable expenses and fees in connection with the filing and recording thereof. If Lender shall require the filing or recording of additional Uniform Commercial Code forms or continuation statements, Borrower shall, promptly after request, execute, file and record such Uniform Commercial Code forms or continuation statements as Lender shall deem reasonably necessary, and shall pay all reasonable expenses and fees in connection with the filing and recording thereof, it being understood and agreed, however, that no such additional documents shall increase Borrower's obligations or decrease Borrower's rights under the Note, this Security Deed and any of the other Loan Documents. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to file with the appropriate public office on its behalf any financing or other statements signed only by Lender, as secured party, in connection with the Collateral covered by this Security Deed. 22. ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. Lender has the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Property and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which Lender, in its reasonable discretion, decides should be brought to protect their interest in the Property. Lender shall, at its option, be subrogated to the lien of any deed of trust or other security instrument discharged in whole or in part by the Debt, and any such subrogation rights shall constitute additional security for the payment of the Debt. 23. RECOVERY OF SUMS REQUIRED TO BE PAID. Lender shall have the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which constitute a part of the Debt as the same become due, without regard to whether or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by Borrower existing at the time such earlier action was commenced. 24. MARSHALLING AND OTHER MATTERS. Borrower hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale hereunder of the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein. Further, Borrower hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of this Security Deed on behalf of Borrower, and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in or title to the Property subsequent to the date of this Security Deed and 14 on behalf of all persons to the extent permitted by applicable law. Lender shall not be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Person or in payment of any of the Debt. 25. HANDICAPPED ACCESS. (a) Borrower agrees that the Property shall at all times comply, with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, if applicable, all state and local laws and ordinances related to handicapped access and all rules, regulations, and orders issued pursuant thereto including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities (collectively "ACCESS LAWS"). (b) Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall cause any alterations to the Property to comply with all applicable Access Laws. The foregoing shall apply to tenant improvements constructed by Borrower or by any of its tenants. Lender may condition any such approval upon receipt of a certificate of Access Law compliance from an architect, engineer, or other person acceptable to Lender. (c) Borrower agrees to give prompt notice to Lender of the receipt by Borrower of any material complaints related to violation of any Access Laws and of the commencement of any proceedings or investigations which relate to compliance with applicable Access Laws. 26. INDEMNIFICATION. In addition to any other indemnifications provided herein or in the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall protect, defend, indemnify and save harmless Lender and its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, the trustee and/or the trust under any trust agreement executed in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction backed in whole or in part by the Loan and any other person which may hereafter be the holder of the Note or any interest therein), and the officers, directors, stockholders, partners, members, employees, agents, and Affiliates of Lender and such successors and assigns (each an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, demands, damages, penalties, causes of action, losses, fines, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements), imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Party by reason of: (a) ownership of this Security Deed, the Property or any interest therein or receipt of any Rents; (b) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (c) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or about the Property or any part thereof or on adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (d) any failure on the part of Borrower to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Security Deed; (e) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Property or any part thereof; (f) any failure of the Premises or the Improvements to comply with any applicable law, statute, code, ordinance, rule or regulation including, without limitation, any Access Laws; (g) any default by Borrower under this Security Deed, the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (h) any actions taken by any Indemnified Party in the enforcement of this Security Deed and other Loan Documents in accordance with their respective terms; (i) any representation or warranty made in the Note, this Security Deed or any of the other Loan Documents being false 15 or misleading in any material respect as of the date such representation or warranty was made; (j) any claim by brokers, finders or similar persons claiming to be entitled to a commission in connection with any Lease or other transaction involving the Property or any part thereof under any legal requirement or any liability asserted against Lender with respect thereto; and (k) the claims of any lessee of any or any portion of the Property or any person acting through or under any lessee or otherwise arising under or as a consequence of any Lease (collectively, the "INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES"), provided that Borrower shall not have an obligation to an Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to the Indemnified Liabilities arising from the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any amounts payable to Lender by reason of the application of this paragraph shall be secured by this Security Deed and shall become immediately due and payable and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date loss or damage is sustained by Lender until paid. The obligations and liabilities of Borrower under this paragraph shall survive the termination, satisfaction, or assignment of this Security Deed and the exercise by Lender of any of its rights or remedies hereunder, including, but not limited to, the acquisition of the Property by foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure. 27. NOTICES. Any notice, demand, statement, request or consent made hereunder shall be in writing, addressed to the intended recipient at its address set forth in the Loan Agreement, and shall be made and deemed given in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. 28. AUTHORITY. (a) Borrower (and the undersigned representative of Borrower, if any) represent and warrant that it (or they, as the case may be) has full power, authority and right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations pursuant to this Security Deed, and to deed, give, grant, bargain, sell, alien, enfeoff, convey, confirm, warrant, pledge and assign the Property pursuant to the terms hereof and to keep and observe all of the terms of this Security Deed on Borrower's part to be performed; and (b) Borrower represents and warrants that Borrower is not a "foreign person" within the meaning of Section 1445(f)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the related Treasury Department regulations, including temporary regulations. 29. NON-WAIVER. The failure of Lender to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Security Deed. Any consent or approval by Lender in any single instance shall not be deemed or construed to be Lender's consent or approval in any like matter arising at a subsequent date. Borrower shall not be relieved of Borrower's obligations hereunder by reason of (a) the failure of Lender to comply with any request of Borrower or any Guarantor to take any action to foreclose this Security Deed or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Note, or the other Loan Documents, (b) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property, or of any person liable for the Debt or any portion thereof, or (c) any agreement or stipulation by Lender extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Note, this Security Deed or any of the other Loan Documents. Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other security held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its sole discretion, may elect. Lender may take action to recover the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to foreclosure this Security Deed. The rights and remedies of Lender under this Security Deed shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of 16 Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Lender shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity. 30. NO ORAL CHANGE. This Security Deed, and any provisions hereof, may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or Lender, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought. 31. LIABILITY. Subject to the provisions hereof requiring Lender's consent to any transfer of the Property, this Security Deed shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns forever. 32. INAPPLICABLE PROVISIONS. If any term, covenant or condition of the Note or this Security Deed is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the Note and this Security Deed shall be construed without such provision. 33. HEADINGS, ETC.

MISCELLANEOUS. (a) Intentionally Omitted. (b) The Loan Documents contain the entire agreement between Borrower and Lender relating to or connected with the Loan. Any other agreements relating to or connected with the Loan not expressly set forth in the Loan Documents are null and void and superseded in their entirety by the provisions of the Loan Documents.

Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, intentionally permit or suffer to exist any act, omission or circumstance affording such right of forfeiture.

FUTURE ADVANCES. This Security Deed secures "FUTURE ADVANCES," as hereinafter defined. Any portion of the Debt which is incurred after the execution of this Security Deed pursuant to any instrument referring to this Security Deed, or which is evidenced by any instrument stating that said indebtedness is secured by this Security Deed, shall be defined as a "FUTURE ADVANCE," including, without limitation, indebtedness incurred or advanced by Lender to Borrower or pursuant to the Loan Documents. It is agreed that the Loan Documents are intended to secure all of the debts and obligations referred to in the Loan Documents, some of which will be obligatory future advances, and all advances under the Loan Documents will be for commercial purposes. This Paragraph shall serve as notice to any subsequent holder of a lien, encumbrance, security title or other claim in and to the Property that Lender claims the priority of the lien of this Security Deed for all such Future Advances, as well as for all other obligations secured hereby. This Paragraph shall also be notice that Lender reserves the right, upon agreement thereto with Borrower, to modify, extend, consolidate, and renew the Debt, or any portions thereof, and the rate of interest charged thereon, without affecting the priority of the lien created by this Security Deed. 44. CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION. The mortgages, deeds to secure debt and deeds of trust (other than this Security Deed) listed on EXHIBIT B attached hereto and made a part hereof, as any of same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, are collectively referred to for purposes of this Section 44 as the "OTHER SECURITY INSTRUMENTS." This Security Deed, as it may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, together with the Security Instruments, are collectively referred to for purposes of this Section 44 as the "SECURITY INSTRUMENTS." The Debt is secured by, among other things, the Security Instruments, which encumber real and personal property in the States set forth on EXHIBIT B, as more particularly described in each of the Security Instruments. The Debt may be accelerated as provided in the Loan Documents. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, at its option, accelerate the Debt and foreclose upon any one or more of the Security 19 Instruments or resort to any one or more of its other rights and remedies under any or all of the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents. Except as otherwise provided herein, all of the real and personal property conveyed and/or encumbered by the Security Instruments are security for the Debt without allocation of any one or more of the parcels or portions thereof to any portion of the Debt. Lender may allocate the proceeds that it receives upon the exercise of its rights and remedies, including foreclosure, to payment of the Debt as Lender in its sole discretion may determine to be advisable pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. Lender may proceed, at the same or different times, to foreclose the Security Instruments or any one or more of them, by any proceedings appropriate in the state where any of the real property encumbered by one or more of the Security Instruments lies, including private sale if permitted, and no event of enforcement taking place in any state, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any pending foreclosure, judgment or decree of foreclosure, foreclosure sale, rents received, possession taken, deficiency judgment or decrees, or judgment taken on the Debt, shall in any way stay, preclude or bar enforcement of the Security Instruments or any of them in any other state, and Lender may pursue any or all of its remedies to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents until all of the Debt and all other obligations now or hereafter secured by any or all of the Security Instruments have been paid or discharged in full. Additionally, and without limitation of any other provision of this Security Deed, if this Security Deed is foreclosed and the Property is sold (or any part thereof) pursuant to foreclosure or other proceedings, and if the proceeds of such sale (after application of such proceeds as provided in this Security Deed and the other Loan Documents) are not sufficient to pay the total sum of the Debt then outstanding and any other amounts provided for by applicable law (the "BALANCE OWED"), then, to the extent permitted by law, the Debt shall not be satisfied to the extent of the Balance Owed, but such Debt shall continue in existence and continue to be evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents and the Security Instruments. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, if Lender shall acquire the Property as a result of any foreclosure or other sale (whether by bidding all or any portion of the Debt or otherwise), the proceeds of such sale, to the extent permitted by law, shall not be deemed to include (and Borrower shall not be entitled to any benefit or credit on account of) proceeds of any subsequent sale of the Property by Lender. Without limitation of any other provision hereof, Borrower further agrees that if any of the Other Security Instruments are foreclosed and sale is made of any of the property subject to any Other Security Instruments, and if the proceeds of such sale (after application of such proceeds as provided for herein and after deducting all accrued and general and special taxes and assessments) are not sufficient to pay the Debt and any other amounts provided for by applicable law, then, to the extent permitted by law, the Debt then outstanding shall not be satisfied to the extent of the Balance Owed, but such Debt shall continue in existence and continue to be evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents and the Security Instruments existing immediately prior to any such foreclosure, except such Security Instruments foreclosed upon. No release of personal liability, if any, of any Person whatsoever and no release of any portion of the property now or hereafter subject to the lien of any of the Security Instruments shall have any effect whatsoever by way of impairment or disturbance of the lien or priority of any other of the Security Instruments or the unreleased properties encumbered by any of the Security Instruments, to the extent permitted by law. Any foreclosure or other appropriate remedy brought in any of the states aforesaid may be brought and prosecuted as to any part of the security, wherever located, without regard to the fact that foreclosure proceedings or other remedies have or have not been instituted elsewhere on any other property subject to the lien of 20 the Security Instruments. Neither Borrower nor any Person claiming by, through or under Borrower shall have any right to marshal the assets, all such rights being hereby expressly waived as to Borrower and all Persons claiming by, through or under Borrower, Debt, without limitation, junior lienors. Each of Borrower and all endorsers, guarantors and sureties of the Debt, hereby waives any and all rights arising because of payment or performance by Borrower of any Debt (a) against any Person by way of subrogation of the rights of Lender or (b) against any Person obligated to pay or perform the Debt or other obligations secured by the Other Security Instruments by way of contribution, reimbursement or otherwise. 45. SPECIAL STATE PROVISIONS. (a) Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that neither all of the Property nor any part thereof is to be used as a dwelling place by Borrower at the time this Security Deed is entered into and, accordingly, the notice requirements of O.C.G.A. Section 44-14-162.2 shall not be applicable to any exercise of the power of sale contained in this Security Deed. (b) The interest of Lender under this Security Deed and the liability and obligation of Borrower for the payment of the Debt arise from a "commercial transaction" within the meaning of O.C.G.A. Section 44-14-260(1). Accordingly, pursuant to O.C.G.A. Section 44-14-263, Borrower waives any and all rights which Borrower may have to notice prior to seizure by Lender following an Event of Default of any interest in personal property of Borrower which constitutes part of the Property, whether such seizure is by writ of possession or otherwise. (c) BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT BORROWER MAY HAVE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA OR THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO NOTICE OR TO A JUDICIAL HEARING PRIOR TO THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY PROVIDED TO LENDER BY THIS SECURITY DEED, AND WAIVES BORROWER'S RIGHTS, IF ANY, TO SET ASIDE OR INVALIDATE ANY SALE UNDER POWER DULY CONSUMMATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECURITY DEED ON THE GROUND (IF SUCH BE THE CASE) THAT THE SALE WAS CONSUMMATED WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE OR JUDICIAL HEARING OR BOTH. BORROWER FURTHER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION RIGHTS, IF ANY, WHICH BORROWER MAY HAVE PURSUANT TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES, THE STATE OF GEORGIA OR ANY OTHER STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, IN AND TO THE PROPERTY AS AGAINST THE COLLECTION OF THE OBLIGATION, OR ANY PART THEREOF. ALL WAIVERS BY BORROWER IN THIS SUBSECTION HAVE BEEN MADE VOLUNTARILY, INTELLIGENTLY AND KNOWINGLY BY BORROWER, AFTER BORROWER HAS BEEN AFFORDED AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE INFORMED BY COUNSEL OR BORROWER'S CHOICE AS TO POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE RIGHTS. BORROWER'S EXECUTION OF THIS SECURITY DEED SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THE WAIVER AND THAT SUCH WAIVER HAS BEEN VOLUNTARILY, INTELLIGENTLY AND KNOWINGLY MADE. (d) Rights of Lender Upon Event of Default. If an Event of Default shall have occurred, then the entire Debt and any other indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender shall, at 21 the option of Lender, immediately become due and payable without notice or demand, time being of the essence, and Lender, at its option, may do any one or more of the following (and, if more than one, either concurrently or independently, and in such order as Lender may determine in its discretion), all without regard to the adequacy or value of the security for the Debt and any other indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender: (i) Enter upon and take possession of the Premises without the appointment of a receiver, or an application therefor; at its option, operate the Premises; at its option, exclude Borrower and its agents and employees wholly therefrom; at its option, employ a managing agent of the Premises; and at its option, exercise any one or more of the rights and powers of Borrower to the same extent as Borrower could, either in its own name, or in the name of Borrower; and, with or without taking possession of the Premises, receive the rents, incomes, issues, profits and revenues of the Premises. (ii) Apply, as a matter of strict right, without notice and without regard to the solvency of any party bound for its payment, for the appointment of a receiver to take possession of and to operate the Premises and to collect and apply the incomes, rents, issues, profits and revenues thereof. (iii) Pay, perform or observe any term, covenant or condition of this Security Deed and any of the other Loan Documents and all reasonable payments made or reasonable costs or expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith shall be secured hereby and shall be, without demand, immediately repaid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate. The necessity for any such actions and of the amounts to be paid shall be determined by Lender in its discretion. Lender is hereby empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Premises or any part thereof for the purpose of performing or observing any such defaulted term, covenant or condition without thereby becoming liable to Borrower or any person in possession holding under Borrower. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the remedies set forth in this clause (iii) shall be exercisable by Lender, and any and all reasonable payments made or reasonable costs or expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith shall be secured hereby and shall be, without demand, immediately repaid by Borrower with interest thereon at the Default Rate, notwithstanding the fact that such remedies were exercised and such payments made and costs incurred by Lender after the filing by Borrower of a voluntary case or the filing against Borrower of an involuntary case pursuant to or within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code, Title 11 U.S.C., or after any similar action pursuant to any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable to Borrower, Lender, the Debt and any other indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender or any of the Loan Documents. (iv) Sell the Premises or any part of the Premises at one or more public sale or sales at the usual place for conducting sales in the county in which the Premises or any part of the Premises is situated, to the highest bidder for cash, in order to satisfy the Debt and/or pay any other indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender, and all expenses of sale and of all proceedings in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys' fees, after advertising the time, place and terms of sale once a week for four (4) weeks 22 immediately preceding such sale (but without regard to the number of days) in a newspaper in which sheriff's sales are advertised in said county, all other notice being hereby waived by Borrower. At any such public sale, Lender may execute and deliver to the purchaser a conveyance of the Premises or any part of the Premises in fee simple, with full warranties of title, and to this end Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Lender the agent and attorney-in-fact of Borrower to make such sale and conveyance, and thereby to divest Borrower of all right, title and equity that Borrower may have in and to the Premises and to vest the same in the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or sales, and all the acts and doings of said agent and attorney-in-fact are hereby ratified and confirmed, and any recitals in said conveyance or conveyances as to facts essential to a valid sale shall be binding upon Borrower. The aforesaid power of sale and agency hereby granted are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable by death or otherwise, and shall not be exhausted by one exercise thereof but may be exercised until full satisfaction of the Debt and full payment of any other indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender. In the event of any sale under this Security Deed by virtue of the exercise of the powers herein granted, or pursuant to any order in any judicial proceeding or otherwise, the Premises may be sold as an entirety or in separate parcels and in such manner or order as Lender in its discretion may elect, and if Lender so elects, Lender may sell the personal property covered by this Security Deed concurrently with the real property covered hereby or at one or more separate sales in any manner permitted by the Uniform Commercial Code, and one or more exercises of the powers herein granted shall not extinguish nor exhaust such powers, until the entire Premises are sold or the Debt are fully satisfied and any other indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender is paid in full. Lender may, at its option, sell the Premises subject to the rights of any tenants of the Premises, and the failure to make any such tenants parties to any foreclosure proceedings and to foreclose their rights will not be asserted by Borrower to be a defense to any proceedings instituted by Lender to satisfy the Debt and/or collect any other indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender. If the Debt and any other indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender is now or hereafter further secured by any chattel mortgages, pledges, contracts of guaranty, assignments of lease or other security instruments, Lender may at its option exhaust the remedies granted under any of said security either concurrently or independently, and in such order as Lender may determine in its discretion. Upon any foreclosure sale, Lender may bid for and purchase the Premises and shall be entitled to apply all or any part of the Debt and any other indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender as a credit to the purchase price. In the event of any such foreclosure sale by Lender, Borrower shall be deemed a tenant holding over and shall forthwith deliver possession to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or be summarily dispossessed according to provisions of law applicable to tenants holding over. In case Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Security Deed by foreclosure, entry or otherwise or in the event Lender commences advertising of the intended exercise of the sale under power provided hereunder, and such proceeding or advertisement shall have been withdrawn, discontinued or abandoned for any reason, then in every such case (i) Borrower and Lender shall be restored to their former positions and rights, (ii) all rights, powers and remedies of Lender shall continue as if no such proceeding had been taken, (iii) each and every Event of Default declared or occurring prior or subsequent to such withdrawal, discontinuance or abandonment shall 23 be deemed to be a continuing Event of Default, and (iv) neither this Security Deed, nor the Guaranty, nor the Debt or any other indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender, nor any other Loan Document shall be or shall be deemed to have been reinstated or otherwise affected by such withdrawal, discontinuance or abandonment; and Borrower hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute or rule of law now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which would produce a result contrary to or in conflict with this sentence. (v) Proceed by a suit or suits in law or in equity or by any other appropriate proceeding or remedy (i) to enforce the Debt, payment of any other indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender, the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement of this Security Deed or any of the other Loan Documents or any other right or (ii) to pursue any other remedy available to Lender. (vi) Lender may apply any moneys and proceeds received by Lender as a result of the exercise by Lender of any right conferred under this Section 45 in such order as Lender in its discretion may elect against (i) all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with the operation of the Premises, the performance of Borrower's obligations under the Leases and the collection of the rents thereunder; (ii) all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in the satisfaction of the Debt or in the collection of any or all other indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender, including those incurred in seeking to realize on or to protect or preserve Lender's interest in any other collateral securing any or all of the Debt and/or any other indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender; (iii) any or all unpaid principal on the Debt and any other indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender; (iv) any other amounts owing under the Loan Documents; and (v) accrued interest and charges on any or all of the foregoing. The remainder, if any, shall be paid to Borrower or any person or entity lawfully entitled thereto. 24 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has executed this instrument the day and year first above written.

Any Holder of Registrable Securities shall have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement pursuant to this Section 3 by giving written notice to the Company, within a reasonable time, of its request to withdraw. The Company's obligations under this Section 3.1 are subject to the provisions of Section 4.1. 3.2. Underwriting. If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered underwritten public offering, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 3.1, and the right of the Holders to include Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon the Holders' participation in such underwriting and the entry of the participating Holders (together with the Company and other holders distributing their securities through such underwriting) into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. 3.3.

The Company shall promptly notify the Holders in writing of the existence of any Suspension Event, and with such notice shall provide the Holders with a copy of such underwriters' determination (in the case of clause (i) above), or such opinion of counsel to the Board of Directors (in the case of clause (ii) above). 4.2. Restrictions on Public Sale by Holders. Each Holder agrees, if requested in writing by: (i) the managing underwriter or underwriters in an underwritten primary offering of equity securities of the Company made pursuant to the Securities Act; or (ii) the principal placement agent or agents in any offering of equity securities to be effected by the Company pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act; not to effect any public sale or distribution of any Registrable Securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor provision) under the Securities Act (except to the extent included in any such offering or distribution pursuant to Sections 2.1 or 3,1), during the period starting with the date 15 days prior to and ending on the date 90 days after the closing date of any such offering, sale or distribution; provided that, with respect to a given offering of securities, (x) each other Holder is similarly restricted and (y) each director and executive officer (including any "key" employees) of the Company agrees in writing to identical restrictions. 4.3. Release from Restrictions. The Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to waive the applicability in any particular instance of the provisions of Section 4.2. ARTICLE V REGISTRATION PROCEDURES 5.1. Registration Procedures. In connection with each registration to be effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement in which any Holder is participating, the Company shall keep the Holder 5 advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration and as to the completion thereof. In connection with each such offering, the Company shall as expeditiously as possible, at its sole expense: (a) prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement with respect to such Holder's Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and thereafter use its best efforts to keep such registration statement, in the case of the Shelf Registration, continuously effective for the Shelf Registration Period, and in the case of the Piggyback Registration, until the distribution described in the registration statement relating thereto has been completed; (b) in connection with the preparation and filing of a registration statement, give the Holders, the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel, the opportunity to participate (including the inclusion of any reasonable comments proposed by the Holders) in the preparation of such registration statement, each prospectus included therein or filed with the Commission, and each amendment thereof or supplement thereto (provided that the Company shall not file any such registration statement including Registrable Securities or amendment thereto or any related prospectus or any supplement thereto to which such Holders or the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, shall reasonably object in writing), and give each of them such access to its books and records and such opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers, its counsel and the independent public accountants who have certified its financial statements as shall be necessary, in the opinion of the Holder's and such underwriters' respective counsel, to conduct a reasonable due diligence investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act; (c) furnish to the Holders and to the underwriters of the Registrable Securities such number of copies of the registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus and other documents incident thereto as such underwriters and Holders from time to time may reasonably request; (d) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement; (e) register or qualify the Registrable Securities under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by any of the Holders for the distribution of the Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement to be sold by such Holders; and to take any other action which may be reasonably necessary to enable such Holders to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions in the United States of such Registrable Securities owned by such Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, or to subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction; (f) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Holders and the managing underwriter or underwriters of the public offering of Registrable Securities, if the offering is to be underwritten, in whole or in part, provided that the Holders shall be a party to such underwriting agreement and the Holders may, at their option, require that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such underwriters under such underwriting agreement be conditions precedent to the obligations of the Holders. The Holders shall not be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreement with the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding the Holders and their intended method of distribution and any other representation or warranty required by law; 6 (g) promptly notify the Holders at any time when a prospectus relating thereto covered by such registration statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and at the request of any such Holder prepare and furnish to such Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, provided that each Holder agrees that upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in this Section 5.l(g), such Holder shall forthwith discontinue its disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement relating to such Registrable Securities until such Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by this Section 5.l(g) and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder shall use its reasonable best efforts to deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder's possession, of the prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice; (h) use its reasonable best efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any securities included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction; (i) furnish, at the request of a Holder on the date that any Registrable Securities are to be delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with a registration pursuant to this Agreement, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to such Holder and (ii) a letter dated such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company who have certified the Company's financial statements included in such registration statement, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to such Holder; (j) otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission to effect the prompt registration of the securities covered by the registration statement, and make generally available to the Holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering a period of at least twelve months beginning after the effective date of such registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 1l(a) of the Securities Act; and (k) list all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement on the American Stock Exchange or such other national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties and such securities exchange. ARTICLE VI INDEMNIFICATION 6.1. Indemnification by the Company. In the event of any registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement under the Securities Act, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless each participating Holder, each of its trustees, beneficiaries, directors, 7 officers, employees, agents, advisors and controlling persons, if any, each other Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities and each other Person who controls any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such participating Holder or any such Person, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and the Company will reimburse each participating Holder and each such Person, underwriter and controlling person for any reasonable legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such participating Holder or any other Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities, in either case, specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation thereof; and provided, further, that the Company shall not be liable to any Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of Registrable Securities or any other Person, if any, who controls such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of such Person's failure to send or give a copy of the final prospectus or supplement to the Persons asserting an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities to such Person if such statement or omission was corrected in such final prospectus or supplement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any participating Holder or any such underwriter or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by the Holder. 6.2. Indemnification by Participating Holders. Each of the participating Holders whose Registrable Securities are included or to be included in any registration statement, as a condition to including Registrable Securities in such registration statement, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 6.1) the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company and each other Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and each other Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities and each other Person who controls any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company pertaining to such participating Holder by such participating Holder specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement. The obligation to provide indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall be several, and not joint and several, among the participating Holders. The indemnity provided by each Holder under this Section 6.2 shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer, or any such underwriter or controlling person and 8 shall survive the transfer of such securities by any participating Holder. 6.3. Notices of Claims. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in Section 6.1 or 6.2, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action; provided, however, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under Section 6.1 or 6.2, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, provided that the indemnified party may participate in such defense at the indemnified party's expense and provided, further, that all indemnified parties shall have the right to employ one counsel to represent them if, in the reasonable judgment of such indemnified parties, it is advisable for them to be represented by separate counsel by reason of having legal defenses which are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, and in that event the reasonable fees and expenses of such one counsel shall be paid by the indemnifying party. If the indemnifying party is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim, it will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for the indemnified parties with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such additional counsel for the indemnified parties. No indemnifying party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the consent of the indemnified party which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. No indemnifying party shall be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 6.4. Other Indemnification. Indemnification similar to that specified in the preceding Sections of this Article VI (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and any participating Holder with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any federal or state law or regulation of any governmental authority other than the Securities Act. 6.5. Indemnification Payments. The indemnification required by this Article VI shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred. 6.6. Contribution. If, for any reason, the foregoing indemnity is unavailable, or is insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of the expense, loss, claim, damage or liability (a) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other (determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission), or (b) if the allocation provided by clause (a) above is not permitted by applicable law or provides a lesser sum to the indemnified party than the amount otherwise payable hereunder, in the proportion as is appropriate to 9 reflect not only the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, but also the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No indemnified party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any indemnifying party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The contribution provided by each participating Holder under this Section 6.6 shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds received by such participating Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.
