GENERAL TERMS

Section 1.1.The Loan.

(a)On the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender shall make a loan to Borrower (the “Loan”) in an amount equal to the Loan Amount. The Loan shall initially be represented by a single Note that shall bear interest as described in this Agreement at a per annum rate equal to the Initial Interest Rate. Interest payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the related Interest Accrual Period.

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

(c)Upon written notice from Lender to Borrower, the Note will be deemed to have been subdivided into multiple components (“Note Components”). Each Note Component shall have such notional balance and interest rate as Lender shall specify in such notice, provided that the sum of the principal balances of all Note Components shall equal the then-current Principal Indebtedness, and the weighted average of the component interest rates, weighted on the basis of their respective principal balances, shall equal the Interest Rate (except following repayments of principal during the continuance of an Event of Default or as a result of a Casualty or Condemnation). Borrower shall be treated as the obligor with respect to each of the Note Components, and Borrower acknowledges that each Note Component may be individually beneficially owned by a separate Person. The Note Components need not be represented by separate physical Notes, but if requested by Lender, each Note Component shall be represented by a separate physical Note, in which case Borrower shall execute and return to Lender each such Note in accordance with the terms of this Section. Whether or not Note Components are created, Lender shall have the right at any time, at Lender’s sole discretion, to replace the initial Note with two or more replacement Notes, and the holder of each replacement Note shall similarly have the right at any time, at such holder’s sole discretion, to replace its Note with two or more replacement Notes. Each replacement Note shall be in the form of the Note so replaced, but for its principal amount and Interest Rate. The principal amount of each Note shall be determined by the applicable holder in its sole discretion, provided that the initial sum of the principal amounts of the replacement Notes shall equal the then-outstanding principal balance of the Notes that are so replaced. The Interest Rate of each replacement Note shall be determined by the applicable holder in its sole discretion, provided that the initial weighted average of such Interest Rates, weighted on the basis of the principal balances of the respective Notes, shall initially equal the Interest Rate of the Note so replaced. Neither Borrower’s nor Sponsor’s obligations shall be increased or their respective rights reduced in connection with the creation of Note Components or the replacement of any Notes pursuant to this Section 1.1(c). Borrower shall execute and return to Lender each such Note within two Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of an execution copy thereof, and Borrower’s failure to do so within such time period

shall, at Lender’s election, constitute an immediate Event of Default hereunder. Borrower hereby authorizes and appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact to execute any replacement Notes required pursuant to this Section on Borrower’s behalf should Borrower fail to do so. The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement. Borrower hereby ratifies all actions that such attorney shall lawfully take or cause to be taken in accordance with this Section 1.1(c). If requested by Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender, together with such replacement Notes, an opinion of counsel with respect to the due authorization and enforceability of such replacement Notes and confirming that the delivery of such replacement Notes does not alter the conclusions reached in the legal opinions delivered to Lender at Closing.

(d)To secure the full and timely payment of the Indebtedness, Borrower hereby grants to Lender, its heirs, successors and assigns, a first-priority Lien on all Collateral, wherever located, now or hereafter owned from time to time by Borrower, including, without limitation, all “goods,” “consumer goods,” “equipment,” “inventory,” “fixtures,” “farm products,” “accounts,” “deposit accounts,” “chattel paper,” “general intangibles,” “software,” “instruments” and “proceeds” of any of the foregoing (all as defined under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York).

Section 1.2.Interest and Principal.

(a)On each Payment Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount by remitting such amount to the Cash Management Account or such other account as Lender shall direct, which amount shall be applied toward the payment of interest on each Note for the applicable Interest Accrual Period at the applicable Interest Rate (except that in each case, interest shall be payable on the Indebtedness, including due but unpaid interest, at the Default Rate with respect to any portion of such Interest Accrual Period falling during the continuance of an Event of Default, in which case the monthly payment shall be increased by the amount of Default Interest accrued on the Notes during the applicable Interest Accrual Period). Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay interest from and including the Closing Date through the end of the first Interest Accrual Period in lieu of making such payment on the first Payment Date following the Closing Date (unless the Closing Date falls on a Payment Date, in which case, no interest will be collected on the Closing Date, and Borrower shall make the payment required pursuant to this Section commencing on the first Payment Date following the Closing Date).

(b)No prepayments of the Loan shall be permitted except for (i) prepayments resulting from Casualty or Condemnation as described in Section 5.16(f), (ii) a prepayment of the Loan in whole (but not in part) during the Prepayment Period on not less than 15 days prior written notice and/or (iii) a prepayment in connection with the release of the Benjamin Property pursuant to Section 2.4; provided that any prepayment hereunder shall be accompanied by all

interest accrued on the amount prepaid, plus the amount of interest that would have accrued thereon if the Loan had remained outstanding through the end of the Interest Accrual Period in which such prepayment occurs, plus all other amounts then due under the Loan Documents. Borrower’s notice of prepayment shall create an obligation of Borrower to prepay the Loan as set forth therein, but may be rescinded with five days’ prior written notice to Lender (subject to payment of any out-of-pocket costs and expenses resulting from such rescission). In addition, Defeasance shall be permitted after the expiration of the Lockout Period as described in Section 2.1. The entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, together with interest through the end of the applicable Interest Accrual Period and all other amounts then due under the Loan Documents, shall be due and payable by Borrower to Lender on the Maturity Date.

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

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

Section 1.3.Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Notes (including any deposit into the Cash Management Account pursuant to Section 3.2(c)) shall be made to Lender not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due (except in the case of the payment made on the Maturity Date, which shall be made not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time) and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by wire transfer in federal or other immediately available funds to the account specified from time to

time by Lender. Any funds received by Lender after such time shall be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day. Lender shall notify Borrower in writing of any changes in the account to which payments are to be made. If the amount received from Borrower (or from the Cash Management Account pursuant to Section 3.2(b)) is less than the sum of all amounts then due and payable hereunder, such amount shall be applied, at Lender’s sole discretion, either toward the components of the Indebtedness (e.g., interest, principal and other amounts payable hereunder) and the Notes and Note Components, in such sequence as Lender shall elect in its sole discretion, or toward the payment of Property expenses.

Section 1.4.Taxes; Regulatory Change.

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

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

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

(d)If, as a result of any Regulatory Change, any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with, Lender or any holder of all or a portion of the Loan is imposed, modified or deemed applicable and the result is to increase the cost to such Lender or such holder of making or holding the Loan, or to reduce the amount receivable by Lender or such holder hereunder in respect of any portion of the Loan by an amount deemed by Lender or such holder to be material (such increases in cost and reductions in amounts receivable, “Increased Costs”), then Borrower agrees that it will pay to Lender or such holder upon Lender’s or such holder’s request such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender and/or such holder for such Increased Costs to the extent that such Increased Costs are reasonably allocable to the Loan. Lender will notify Borrower in writing of any event occurring after the Closing Date that will entitle Lender or any holder of the Loan to compensation pursuant to this Section 1.4(d) as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation and will designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. If such Lender shall fail to notify Borrower of any such event within 90 days following the end of the month during which such event occurred, then Borrower’s liability for any amounts described in this Section incurred by such Lender as a result of such event shall be limited to those attributable to the period occurring subsequent to the 90th day prior to the date upon which such Lender actually notified Borrower of the occurrence of such event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Borrower be required to compensate Lender or any holder of the Loan for any portion of the income or franchise taxes of Lender or such holder, whether or not attributable to payments made by Borrower. If Lender requests compensation under this Section 1.4(d), Borrower may, by notice to Lender, require that such Lender furnish to Borrower a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof.

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

ARTICLE II
DEFEASANCE AND ASSUMPTION

Section 2.1.Defeasance.

(e)On any date after the expiration of the Lockout Period, provided no Event of Default is then continuing and subject to the notice requirement described in Section 2.1(d), Borrower may from time to time obtain the release of one or more of the Properties from the

Liens of the Loan Documents by Defeasing either the entire Loan, or a portion of the Loan equal to the lesser of (x) the sum of the Release Prices of the Properties so released and (y) the portion of the Principal Indebtedness that has not been Defeased as of the date of such release, provided that after giving effect thereto, unless the Loan is Defeased in full, the Debt Yield for the Test Period then most recently ended, recalculated to include only income and expense attributable to the Properties remaining after the contemplated release and to exclude the interest expense on the aggregate amount Defeased, shall be no less than the Debt Yield Threshold; and provided further that all sums then due to Lender under the Loan Documents are paid and the following are delivered to Lender:

(i)Defeasance Collateral sufficient to provide payments on or prior to, and in any event as close as possible to, all successive Payment Dates in an amount sufficient (x) to pay the interest and principal due on such Payment Dates in respect of a portion of the Loan equal to the amount Defeased and (y) to repay the outstanding principal balance of such portion of the Loan on the first Payment Date in the Prepayment Period or such other Payment Date in the Prepayment Period as Borrower shall elect;

(ii)written confirmation from an independent certified public accounting firm reasonably satisfactory to Lender that such Defeasance Collateral is sufficient to provide the payments described in clause (i) above;

(iii)a security agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, creating in favor of Lender a first priority perfected security interest in such Defeasance Collateral (a “Defeasance Pledge Agreement”);

(iv)an opinion of counsel for Borrower, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and delivered by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lender, opining that (1) the Defeasance Pledge Agreement has been duly authorized and is enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms and that Lender has a perfected first priority security interest in such Defeasance Collateral; (2) if the Loan has been Securitized, the Defeasance, including any assumption under Section 2.1(b), does not cause a tax to be imposed on the Securitization Vehicle or, if the Securitization Vehicle is a REMIC, does not cause any portion of the Loan to cease to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, and (3) the Defeasance (in the case of a partial Defeasance, with respect to both the Defeased Note and the Undefeased Note) does not constitute a “significant modification” of the Loan under Section 1001 of the Code;

(v)if the Loan has been Securitized, the Rating Condition with respect to such Defeasance shall have been satisfied;

(vi)instruments reasonably satisfactory to Lender releasing and discharging or assigning to a third party Lender’s Liens on the Collateral so released (other than the Defeasance Collateral);

(vii)such other customary certificates, opinions, documents or instruments as Lender and the Rating Agencies may reasonably request; and

(viii)reimbursement for any costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Section 2.1 (including Rating Agency and Servicer fees and expenses, reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel and any revenue, documentary stamp or intangible taxes or any other tax or charge due in connection herewith).

Lender shall reasonably cooperate with Borrower, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, to avoid the incurrence of mortgage recording taxes in connection with the refinancing of any of the Properties released in connection with a Defeasance.

(f)If the Loan is not Defeased in full, Borrower shall execute and deliver all documents necessary to amend and restate the Note with two substitute Notes: 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”). At Lender’s discretion, a Default under the Undefeased Note may cause a Default under the Defeased Note (but a Default under the Defeased Note shall not cause a Default under the Undefeased Note). The Undefeased Notes may be the subject of a further Defeasance in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.1 (the term “Note”, as used in this Section 2.1, being deemed to refer to the Undefeased Note that is the subject of further Defeasance).

(g)At the time of the Defeasance, the Defeased Note shall be assumed by a bankruptcy-remote entity established by Borrower and approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion, to which Borrower shall transfer all of the Defeasance Collateral (a “Defeasance Borrower”).  Such Defeasance Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender an assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, such Uniform Commercial Code financing statements as may be reasonably requested by Lender and legal opinions of counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender that are substantially equivalent to the opinions delivered to Lender on the Closing Date, including new nonconsolidation opinions reasonably satisfactory to Lender and satisfactory to the Rating Agencies; and Borrower and the Defeasance Borrower shall deliver such other documents, certificates and legal opinions as Lender shall reasonably request.

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

(i)Upon satisfaction of the requirements contained in this Section 2.1, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, Lender will execute and deliver to Borrower such instruments, prepared by Borrower and reasonably approved by Lender, as shall be necessary to release the Property from the Liens of the Loan Documents.

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

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

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

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

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

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

documents, certificates and legal opinions, including relating to REMIC matters, as Lender shall reasonably request;

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

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

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

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

Section 2.3.Transfers of Equity Interests in Borrower.

(e)No direct or indirect equity interests in Borrower (other than publicly traded shares of Sponsor or transfers of direct or indirect interest in Denihan Ownership Company, LLC to the extent permitted under Section 2.3(b)(iii)) shall be conveyed or otherwise transferred to any Person prior to the later of (x) the first anniversary of the Closing Date and (y) the date on which the Capital Plan has been substantially completed (as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion). From and after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, provided that no Event of Default is continuing, transfers (but not pledges, except as permitted under Section 7.1(f)) of direct and indirect equity interests in Borrower shall be permitted upon 10 days advance written notice thereof to Lender, provided that:

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

(ii)as a condition to any such transfer that results in Borrower ceasing to be Controlled by Sponsor, and each subsequent transfer that again changes the identity of the Qualified Equityholder that Controls Borrower, shall be conditioned upon payment to Lender of a transfer fee in an amount equal to 1.0% of the Principal Indebtedness at the time of such transfer;

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

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

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

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

(ii)any merger of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust with the Operating Partnership or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust to the Operating Partnership or vice versa, provided that the new direct or indirect owner of Borrower resulting from such transaction assumes all obligations of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust under the Loan Documents; and

(iii)transfers of direct or indirect ownership interest in Denihan Ownership Company, LLC, provided that, after giving effect to all such transfers, one or more Denihan Parties shall directly or indirectly Control Denihan Ownership Company, LLC.

Section 2.4.Release of Benjamin Property.

(a)At any time, provided no Event of Default is then continuing and all amounts then due and owing to Lender have been paid in full, Borrower shall have the right, at its option, on not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to Lender, to obtain the release of the Benjamin Property provided that the following conditions shall have been satisfied:

(i)Borrower shall prepay the Loan in an amount equal to the Release Price for the Benjamin Property, plus the amount of interest theretofore accrued but unpaid in respect of the Release Price for the Benjamin Property, plus the amount of interest that would have accrued on the Release Price for the Benjamin Property had it remained outstanding through the end of the Interest Accrual Period in which such prepayment is made and, if such prepayment is made during the last two Business Days in any Interest Accrual Period, the amount of additional interest that would have accrued on the Release

Price for the Benjamin Property had it remained outstanding through the end of the following Interest Accrual Period;

(ii)Debt Yield for the Test Period then most recently ended, recalculated to include only income and expense attributable to the Properties remaining after the release of the Benjamin Property and to exclude the interest expense attributable to the Release Price payable with respect to the Benjamin Property, shall be no less than the Debt Yield Threshold;

(iii)if the release of the Benjamin Property shall occur prior to the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender the Yield Maintenance Premium payable in respect of the Release Price for the Benjamin Property, in addition to all other amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section;

(iv)Borrower shall reimburse Lender for any actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with this Section (including the reasonable fees and expenses of Lender’s legal counsel and the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Servicer and fees and expenses of the Rating Agencies);

(v)to the extent that the Loan is included in a REMIC, after giving effect to the release of the Benjamin Property, the Lender 80% Determination shall have been satisfied or, if the same is not so satisfied, then Borrower shall have prepaid the Loan in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the fair market value of the Benjamin Property and (y) the amount necessary to obtain a Lender 80% Determination; and

(vi)to the extent that the Loan is included in a REMIC, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an opinion of counsel in form and substance which would be acceptable to a prudent lender of securitized commercial mortgage loans acting reasonably, stating, among other things, that any REMIC Trust formed pursuant to a Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC as a result of such release and will not be subject to tax on any “prohibited transactions” or “prohibited contributions” as a result of such release.

(b)Upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section, Lender will execute and deliver to Borrower such instruments, prepared by Borrower and reasonably approved by Lender, as shall be necessary to release the Benjamin Property from the Liens of the Loan Documents, and to release the applicable Borrower from all further liabilities and obligations under the Loan Documents (other than those expressly provided to survive repayment). Thereafter the “Borrower” hereunder shall exclude the Borrower that owned the released Property. Any rents or other income from the Benjamin Property that is thereafter inadvertently paid or deposited into the Blocked Account or the Cash Management Account shall be promptly released to the applicable Borrower.

(c)Any prepayment of the Loan in connection of a release of any Property from the Liens of the Loan Documents, whether pursuant to this Section or Section 2.1, shall be applied to the Notes or the Note Components in such order as Lender shall determine; provided,

however, that except in connection with any repayment of the Principal Indebtedness during the continuance of an Event of Default or in connection with a Casualty or Condemnation, no prepayment of the Principal Indebtedness shall result in an increase in the weighted average of the interest rates applicable to the Notes or Note Components.

ARTICLE III
ACCOUNTS

Section 3.1.Cash Management Account.

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

(c)Borrower shall cause Approved Property Manager to remit all Revenues from the Property (other than tenant security deposits required to be held in escrow accounts) to the Cash Management Account or a Blocked Account within one Business Day of its receipt thereof. “Blocked Account” means an Eligible Account maintained with a financial institution satisfactory to Lender that enters into a blocked account agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender (as amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance herewith, the “Blocked Account Agreement”) satisfactory to Lender pursuant to which such financial institution will remit, at the end of each Business Day, all amounts contained therein to an account specified by Lender (Lender hereby agreeing to specify the Cash Management Account so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing).

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

(e)Operating Lessee shall maintain at all times a Qualified Operating Expense Account. Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall permit any amounts unrelated to the Property to be commingled with amounts on deposit in the Qualified Operating Expense Account and shall cause all amounts payable with respect to Operating Expenses for the Property to be paid from the Qualified Operating Expense Account or the Cash Management Account (to the extent required or permitted hereunder) and no other account. During the continuance of any Trigger Period or Event of Default, Borrower or Operating Lessee shall deliver to Lender each month the monthly bank statement related to such Qualified Operating Expense Account. Unless and until an Event of Default shall occur, Operating Lessee and the Approved Property Manager shall have direct access to, and shall be permitted to make withdrawals and, except during the continuance of a Trigger Period, equity distributions from, the Qualified Operating Expense Account, without the consent of Lender. During the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts contained in the Qualified Operating Expense Account shall be remitted to the Cash Management Account.

Section 3.2.Distributions from Cash Management Account.

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

(h)On each Payment Date, Borrower shall remit to the Cash Management Account or such other account as Lender shall direct, the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount and, provided no Event of Default is continuing, Lender shall transfer amounts from the Cash Management Account, to the extent available therein, to make the following payments in the following order of priority:

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

(ii)in the event Borrower shall fail to remit to Lender the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount or during the continuance of a Trigger Period, to Lender, the amount of all scheduled or delinquent interest and principal on the Loan and all other amounts then due and payable under the Loan Documents (with any amounts in respect of principal paid last), which amounts shall come first from the Debt Service Reserve Account, to the extent of funds contained therein;

(iii)during the continuance of a Trigger Period, to the Qualified Operating Expense Account, an amount equal to actual Operating Expenses for the Property for the month in which such Payment Date occurs (including amounts payable in respect of sales

and use and occupancy tax, miscellaneous minor vendor charges and server tips, in each case, to the extent the same are collected by Borrower and deposited into the Cash Management Account as Revenue) and, without duplication, the Budgeted Operating Expenses for the month in which such Payment Date occurs, provided that the amounts disbursed to such account pursuant to this clause (iii) shall be used solely to pay Operating Expenses for such month (Borrower agreeing that, in the event that such disbursement exceeds actual Operating Expenses for such month, such excess amounts shall be remitted by Borrower to the Cash Management Account prior to the next succeeding Payment Date);

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

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

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

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

Section 3.3.Loss Proceeds Account.

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

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

Section 3.4.Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account.

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

(b)On the Closing Date, the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account shall be funded in an amount equal to $6,649,661.56, which amount represents the sum of (i) the amount sufficient to pay all of the Taxes that Lender reasonably estimates, based on information

provided by Borrower, will accrue or be payable during the next ensuing six months (such estimate not to be reduced to the extent of any actual or proposed tax appeal), plus (ii) the amount sufficient to pay all of the insurance premiums that Lender reasonably estimates, based on information provided by Borrower, will accrue or be payable during the next ensuing six months .

(c)On each subsequent Payment Date, an additional deposit shall be made therein in an amount equal to the sum of:

(A)to the extent that a Tax Reserve Exemption Period is not in effect, 1/12 of the Taxes that Lender reasonably estimates, based on information provided by Borrower, will be payable during the next ensuing 12 months, plus

(B)to the extent that an Insurance Reserve Exemption Period is not in effect, 1/12 of the insurance premiums that Lender reasonably estimates, based on information provided by Borrower, will be payable during the next ensuing 12 months;

provided, however, that, subject to Section 3.4(d), if at any time Lender reasonably determines that the amount in the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account will not be sufficient to accumulate (upon payment of subsequent monthly amounts in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) the full amount of all installments of Taxes and insurance premiums by the date on which such amounts come due, then Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account by the amount that Lender reasonably estimates is sufficient to achieve such accumulation.

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

(iv)No amounts will be reserved in the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account in respect of Taxes pursuant to subclause (i) of Section 3.4(b) for so long as (A) no Event of Default or Trigger Period shall be continuing, (B) no Taxes that are currently due and payable remain unpaid; and (C) Borrower shall maintain in the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account funds sufficient to pay all of the Taxes that Lender reasonably estimates, based on information provided by Borrower, will accrue or be payable during the next ensuing six months (such estimate not to be reduced to the extent of any actual or proposed tax appeal) (any such period, a “Tax Reserve Exemption Period”); provided, however, that to the extent Lender utilizes funds on deposit in the Basic Carrying Cost Escrow Account to pay Taxes as a result of the failure of the condition set forth in immediately preceding clause (C), any ongoing Tax Reserve Exemption Period shall terminate and shall not be reinstated for the remaining term of the Loan; and

(v)No amounts will be reserved in the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account in respect of insurance premiums pursuant to subclause (ii) of Section 3.4(b) for so long as (A) no Event of Default or Trigger Period shall be continuing, (B) no insurance premiums that are currently due and payable remain unpaid; and (C) Borrower shall maintain in the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account funds sufficient to pay all of the

insurance premiums that Lender reasonably estimates, based on information provided by Borrower, will accrue or be payable during the next ensuing six months (any such period, a “Insurance Reserve Exemption Period”); provided, however, that to the extent Lender utilizes funds on deposit in the Basic Carrying Cost Escrow Account to pay insurance premiums as a result of the failure of the condition set forth in immediately preceding clause (C), any ongoing Insurance Reserve Exemption Period shall terminate and shall not be reinstated for the remaining term of the Loan.

Upon the termination of any Tax Reserve Exemption Period Borrower shall deposit into the Basic Carrying Cost Escrow Account within two Business Days an amount sufficient to pay all Taxes by the 30^th day prior to the date they come due, taking into account any remaining amounts (if any) contained therein in respect of Taxes and assuming subsequent monthly fundings on Payment Dates of 1/12 of projected annual Taxes and taking into account any amounts already on deposit therein in respect of Taxes. Upon the termination of any Insurance Reserve Exemption Period, Borrower shall deposit into the Basic Carrying Cost Escrow Account within two Business days an amount sufficient to pay all insurance premiums by the 30^th day prior to the date they come due, taking into account any remaining amounts (if any) contained therein in respect of insurance premiums and assuming subsequent monthly fundings on Payment Dates of 1/12 of projected annual insurance premiums and taking into account any amount already on deposit therein in respect of insurance premiums.

(e)Borrower shall provide Lender with copies of all tax, and insurance bills relating to each Property promptly after Borrower’s receipt thereof. During any Tax Reserve Exemption Period, Borrower shall make all Tax payments on or before the date due. During any Insurance Reserve Exemption Period, Borrower shall make all insurance premium payments on or before the date due. At all other times, Lender will apply amounts in the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account toward the purposes for which such amounts are deposited therein, including, for the avoidance of doubt, Taxes due and payable. In connection with the making of any payment from the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account, Lender may cause such payment to be made according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or insurance carrier, without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof unless given written advance notice by Borrower of such inaccuracy, invalidity or other contest.

the Affinia Gardens Reserve Account to the expenses for which such prior disbursements were made, (2) a reasonably satisfactory site inspection, and (3) receipt of lien releases and waivers delivered by contractors, subcontractors and others with respect to prior disbursements from the Affinia Gardens Reserve Account (or evidence that the amount secured by any such liens have been reduced by the amount of prior disbursements from the Affinia Gardens Reserve Account ).

(d)Upon (i) completion of the work related to the Affinia Gardens Capital Plan and (ii) delivery to Lender of a certificate of occupancy for the Affinia Gardens Property amended to permit use of such Property as a transient hotel, provided no Event of Default or Trigger Period is then continuing, any amounts then remaining in the Affinia Gardens Reserve Account shall promptly be remitted to Borrower and the Affinia Gardens Reserve Account will no longer be maintained (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if any Trigger Period or Event of Default is continuing as of the date that the work related to the Affinia Gardens Capital Plan is completed, any amounts then remaining in the Affinia Gardens Reserve Account shall promptly be remitted to Borrower upon the termination of such Trigger Period or waiver of such Event of Default).

Section 3.9.Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account    .

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

Section 3.10.Account Collateral.

(a)Borrower hereby grants a perfected first-priority security interest in favor of Lender in and to the Account Collateral as security for the Indebtedness, together with all rights of a secured party with respect thereto. Each Collateral Account shall be an Eligible Account under the sole dominion and control of Lender and shall be in the name of Borrower, as pledgor, and Lender, as pledgee. Borrower shall have no right to make withdrawals from any of the Collateral Accounts. Funds in the Collateral Accounts shall not be commingled with any other monies at any time. Borrower shall execute any additional documents that Lender in its reasonable discretion may require and shall provide all other evidence reasonably requested by Lender to evidence or perfect its first-priority security interest in the Account Collateral. Funds in the Collateral Account shall be invested at Lender’s discretion only in Permitted Investments, which Permitted Investments shall be credited to the related Collateral Account. All income and

gains from the investment of funds in the Collateral Accounts other than the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account shall be retained in the Collateral Accounts from which they were derived. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, all income and gains from the investment of funds in the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account shall be for the account of Lender in consideration of its administration of such Collateral Account, and Lender shall have the right at any time to cause the Cash Management Bank to remit such amounts to Lender. After the Loan and all other Indebtedness have been paid in full, the Collateral Accounts shall be closed and the balances therein, if any, shall be paid to Borrower.

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

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

Section 3.11.Bankruptcy. Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code, the Account Collateral and the Revenues (whether then already in the Collateral Accounts, or then due or becoming due thereafter) shall be deemed not to be property of Borrower’s bankruptcy estate within the meaning of Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code. If, however, a court of competent jurisdiction determines that, notwithstanding the foregoing characterization of the Account Collateral and the Revenues by Borrower and Lender, the Account Collateral and/or the Revenues do constitute property of Borrower’s bankruptcy estate, then Borrower and Lender further acknowledge and agree that all such Revenues, whether due and payable before or after the filing of the petition, are and shall be cash collateral of Lender. Borrower acknowledges that Lender does not consent to Borrower’s use of such cash collateral and that, in the event Lender elects (in its sole discretion) to give such consent, such consent shall only be effective if given in writing signed by Lender. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, Borrower shall not have the right to use or apply or require the use or application of such cash collateral (i) unless Borrower shall have received a court order authorizing the use of the same, and (ii) Borrower shall have provided such adequate protection to Lender as shall be required by the bankruptcy court in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 4.17.Single-Purpose Requirements.

(a)Each of Borrower, Operating Lessee and Operating Lessee Pledgor is now a Single-Purpose Entity. Each of Borrower, Operating Lessee and Operating Lessee Pledgor has always been since its formation a “bankruptcy-remote single-purpose entity” (as such term is commonly understood in the commercial mortgage loan securitization market) and has conducted its business in substantial compliance with the provisions of its organizational documents, which have always had provisions commonly required of “bankruptcy-remote single-purpose entities” (as such term is commonly understood in the commercial mortgage loan securitization market). Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee has ever (i) owned any property other than the Properties and/or related personal property (ii) engaged in any business, except the ownership and/or operation of the Properties or (iii) had any material contingent or actual obligations or liabilities unrelated to the Properties. Operating Lessee Pledgor has never owned any property or engaged in any business unrelated to its ownership of 100% of the equity interests in Operating Lessee.

(b)Borrower has provided Lender with true, correct and complete copies of (i) Borrower’s and Operating Lessee’s current financial statements; and (ii) Borrower’s and Operating Lessee’s respective current operating agreements, together with all amendments and modifications thereto.

Section 4.18.Use of Loan Proceeds. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose that would be inconsistent with such Regulations T, U or X or any other Regulations of such Board of Governors, or for any purpose prohibited by Legal Requirements or by the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. The Loan is solely for the business purpose of Borrower or for distribution to Borrower’s equityholders in accordance with Legal Requirements.

Section 4.19.Not Foreign Person. Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee is a “foreign person” within the meaning of Section 1445(f)(3) of the Code.

Section 4.20.Labor Matters. Except as set forth on the Exception Report, neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee has any employees or is a party to any collective bargaining agreements.  To the Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s knowledge, no strikes or other material labor disputes against Borrower or Operating Lessee are pending or threatened.  Hours worked by and payment made to employees of Borrower and Operating Lessee comply with the Fair Labor Standards Act and each other federal, state, local or foreign law applicable to such matters.  To the Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s knowledge, there is no union organizing activity involving the Borrower or Operating Lessee pending or threatened by any labor union or group of employees.  To the Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s knowledge, there are no complaints or charges against any Borrower or threatened to be filed with any Governmental Authority or arbitrator based on, arising out of, in connection with, or otherwise relating to the employment or termination of employment by Borrower or Operating Lessee.

Section 4.21.Title. Borrower owns good, marketable and insurable fee title to the Properties, subject to the Permitted Exceptions. Borrower owns good and marketable title to the FF&E. Borrower and/or Operating Lessee own good and marketable title to all personal property related to the Property (other than the FF&E, which is owned solely by Borrower), to the Collateral Accounts and to any other Collateral, in each case free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances. The Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (i) valid, perfected first priority Liens on the Properties and the rents therefrom, enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from Borrower or Operating Lessee and subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, and (ii) perfected Liens (pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York) in and to all personalty, all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances. The Permitted Encumbrances do not and will not materially and adversely affect or interfere with the value, or current or contemplated use or operation, of the Properties, or the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or Borrower’s ability to repay the Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. Except as insured over by a Qualified Title Insurance Policy, there are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Properties that are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents. No creditor of Borrower (other than Lender) or Operating Lessee has in its possession any goods that constitute or evidence the Collateral.

Section 4.22.No Encroachments. Except as shown on the applicable Qualified Survey, all of the improvements on each of the Properties lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such Property, and no improvements on adjoining property encroach upon any Property, and no easements or other encumbrances upon the Property encroach upon any of the improvements, so as, in either case, to adversely affect the value or marketability of the applicable Property, except those that are insured against by a Qualified Title Insurance Policy.

Section 4.23.Physical Condition.

(a)Except for matters set forth in the Engineering Reports, each Property (including sidewalks, storm drainage system, roof, plumbing system, HVAC system, fire protection system, electrical system, equipment, elevators, exterior sidings and doors, irrigation system and all structural components) is in good condition, order and repair in all respects material to its use, operation or value.

(b)Borrower is not aware of any material structural or other material defect or damages in any of the Properties, whether latent or otherwise.

(c)Borrower has not received and is not aware of any other party’s receipt of notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defects or inadequacies in any of the Properties that would, alone or in the aggregate, adversely affect in any material respect the insurability of the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or of any termination or threatened termination of any policy of insurance or bond.

Section 4.24.Fraudulent Conveyance. Borrower has not entered into the Transaction or any of the Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor. Borrower has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. On the Closing Date, the fair salable value of Borrower’s aggregate assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan and the use and disbursement of the proceeds thereof, be greater than Borrower’s probable aggregate liabilities (including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and Contingent Obligations and, in the case of Borrower, taking into account Borrower’s right of contribution from Borrower, as set forth in Section 9.31). Borrower’s aggregate assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan and the use and disbursement of the proceeds thereof will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including Contingent Obligations and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).

Section 4.28.Environmental Matters. Except as disclosed in the Environmental Reports:

(i)To Borrower’s and Operating Lessee’s knowledge, each Property is in compliance in all material respects with all Environmental Laws applicable to such Property (which compliance includes, but is not limited to, the possession of, and compliance with, all environmental, health and safety permits, approvals, licenses, registrations and other governmental authorizations required in connection with the ownership and operation of such Property under all Environmental Laws).

(ii)No Environmental Claim is pending with respect to any Property, nor, to Borrower’s knowledge, is any threatened, nor are there any consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, or other administrative or judicial requirements outstanding under any Environmental Law with respect to Borrower, Operating Lessee or any Property.

(iii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to Borrower’s and Operating Lessee’s knowledge, there is not present at, on, in or under any Property, any Hazardous Substances, PCB-containing equipment, asbestos or asbestos containing materials, underground storage tanks or surface impoundments for any Hazardous Substance, lead in drinking water (except in concentrations that comply with all Environmental Laws), or lead-based paint.

(iv)There have not been and are no past, present or threatened Releases of any Hazardous Substance from or at any Property that are reasonably likely to form the basis of any Environmental Claim, and, to Borrower’s knowledge, there is no threat of any Release of any Hazardous Substance migrating to any Property.

(v)No Liens are presently recorded with the appropriate land records under or pursuant to any Environmental Law with respect to any Property and, to Borrower’s knowledge, no Governmental Authority has been taking any action to subject any Property to Liens under any Environmental Law.

(vi)There have been no material environmental investigations, studies, audits, reviews or other analyses conducted by or that are in the possession of Borrower or Operating Lessee in relation to any Property that have not been made available to Lender.

Section 4.29.Assessments. There are no pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting any of the Properties, nor are there any contemplated improvements to any of the Properties that may result in such special or other assessments. No extension of time for assessment or payment by Borrower of any federal, state or local tax is in effect.

Section 4.30.No Joint Assessment. Borrower has not suffered, permitted or initiated the joint assessment of any of the Properties (i) with any other real property constituting a separate tax lot, or (ii) with any personal property, or any other procedure whereby the Lien of any Taxes that may be levied against such other real property or personal property shall be assessed or levied or charged to any of the Properties as a single Lien.

Section 4.31.Separate Lots. No portion of any of the Properties is part of a tax lot that also includes any real property that is not Collateral.

Section 4.32.Permits; Certificate of Occupancy. Borrower, Operating Lessee and/or Approved Property Manager have obtained all Permits necessary for the present and contemplated use and operation of each of the Properties. The uses being made of each Property are in conformity in all material respects with the certificate of occupancy and/or Permits for such Property and any other restrictions, covenants or conditions affecting such Property.

Section 4.34.Security Deposits. Borrower and Operating Lessee are in compliance in all material respects with all Legal Requirements relating to security deposits.

Section 4.36.Insurance. Borrower or Operating Lessee has obtained, or caused to be obtained, insurance policies reflecting the insurance coverages, amounts and other requirements set forth in this Agreement. All premiums on such insurance policies required to be paid as of the Closing Date have been paid for the current policy period. No Person, including Borrower and Operating Lessee, has done, by act or omission, anything that would impair the coverage of any such policy.

Section 4.37.No Dealings. Borrower, Operating Lessee and the Sponsor are not aware of any unlawful influence on the assessed value of any of the Properties.

Section 4.38.Estoppel Certificates. Borrower has delivered to Lender true and complete copies of (a) the form(s) of estoppel certificate heretofore sent by Borrower, Operating Lessee or any of their Affiliates to every Tenant under a Major Lease at the Property and every Tenant at the Property that operates a restaurant (whether or not under a Major Lease), and (b) each estoppel certificate received back from any such Tenant prior to the Closing Date.

Section 4.39.Compliance with Anti-Terrorism, Embargo, Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Laws. (a) None of the funds or other assets of any Borrower, Operating Lessee, any Single-Purpose Equityholder or Sponsor constitute property of, or are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any person, entity or government subject to trade restrictions under federal law, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. §§ 1701 et seq., The Trading with the Enemy Act, 50 U.S.C.

Borrower has implemented procedures, and will consistently apply those procedures throughout the term of the Loan, to ensure the foregoing representations and warranties remain true and correct during the term of the Loan. Notwithstanding Section 4.42 to the contrary, the representations and warranties contained in this Section 4.39 shall survive in perpetuity.

Section 4.40.Survival. Borrower agrees that all of the representations of Borrower set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents shall survive for so long as any portion of the Indebtedness is outstanding. All representations, covenants and agreements made by Borrower in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Lender notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by Lender or on its behalf.

ARTICLE V
AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

Each individual Borrower and each individual Operating Lessee covenants and agrees as follows with respect to itself and each other individual Borrower and individual Operating Lessee:

Section 5.1.Existence. Borrower, Operating Lessee and if applicable, any Single-Purpose Equityholder shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence and all rights, licenses, Permits, franchises and other agreements necessary for the continued use and operation of its business. Borrower, Operating Lessee and, if applicable, each Single-Purpose Equityholder shall deliver to Lender a copy of each amendment or other modification to any of its organizational documents promptly after the execution thereof.

Section 5.2.Maintenance of Properties.

(f)Borrower shall cause each Property to be maintained in good and safe working order and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and in keeping with the condition and repair of properties of a similar use, value, age, nature and construction. Borrower shall not, and shall not cause or permit Operating Lessee or Approved Property Manager to, use, maintain or operate any Property in any manner that constitutes a public or private nuisance or that makes void, voidable, or cancelable, or increases the premium of, any insurance then in force with respect thereto. Subject to Section 6.13, without the prior written consent of Lender, no improvements or equipment located at or on the Property shall be removed, demolished or materially altered (except for replacement of equipment in the ordinary course of Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s business with items of the same utility and of equal or greater value and sales of obsolete equipment no longer needed for the operation of the applicable Property). Subject to Section 6.13, Borrower shall from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary and desirable repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements to the Properties. Borrower shall not, and shall not cause or permit Operating Lessee or Approved Property Manager to, make any change in the use of any Property that would materially increase the risk of fire or other hazard arising out of the operation of any Property, or do or permit to be done thereon anything that may in any way impair the value of any Property in any material respect or the Lien of the Mortgage or otherwise cause or reasonably be expected to result in a

Material Adverse Effect. Borrower shall not install or permit to be installed on any Property any underground storage tank. Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, permit any drilling or exploration for or extraction, removal, or production of any minerals from the surface or the subsurface of any Property, regardless of the depth thereof or the method of mining or extraction thereof.

(g)Borrower shall remediate the Deferred Maintenance Conditions (including all Life Safety Exceptions) within 12 months following the Closing Date, subject to Force Majeure, and upon request from Lender after the expiration of such period shall deliver to Lender an Officer’s Certificate confirming that such remediation has been completed and that all associated expenses have been paid.

(h)Borrower shall use its best efforts (including the expenditure of all necessary amounts and repair and remediation of the applicable Properties) to cause the certificate of occupancy for the Affinia Gardens Property and the Affinia Shelburne Property to be amended to reflect and permit use as a transient hotel within 12 months following the date hereof. Borrower shall cause any deadline relating to the amendment of the certificate of occupancy for each of the Affinia Gardens Property and the Affinia Shelburne Property to permit use as a transient hotel to be extended until such amendment is completed

Section 5.3.Compliance with Legal Requirements. Borrower shall, and shall cause Operating Lessee to, comply with, and shall cause each Property to comply with and be operated, maintained, repaired and improved in compliance with, all Legal Requirements, Insurance Requirements and all material contractual obligations by which Borrower is legally bound.

Section 5.4.Impositions and Other Claims. Borrower shall pay and discharge all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied upon it, its income and its assets as and when such taxes, assessments and charges are due and payable, as well as all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies or otherwise, subject to any rights to contest contained in the definition of Permitted Encumbrances. Borrower shall file all federal, state and local tax returns and other reports that it is required by law to file. If any law or regulation applicable to Lender, any Note, any of the Collateral or the Mortgage is enacted that deducts from the value of property for the purpose of taxation any Lien thereon, or imposes upon Lender the payment of the whole or any portion of the taxes or assessments or charges or Liens required by this Agreement to be paid by Borrower, or changes in any way the laws or regulations relating to the taxation of mortgages or security agreements or debts secured by mortgages or security agreements or the interest of the mortgagee or secured party in the property covered thereby, or the manner of collection of such taxes, so as to affect the Mortgage, the Indebtedness or Lender, then Borrower, upon demand by Lender, shall pay such taxes, assessments, charges or Liens, or reimburse Lender for any amounts paid by Lender. If in the opinion of Lender’s counsel it might be unlawful to require Borrower to make such payment or the making of such payment might result in the imposition of interest beyond the maximum amount permitted by applicable Law, Lender may elect to declare all of the Indebtedness to be due and payable 90 days from the giving of written notice by Lender to Borrower.

Section 5.5.Access to Properties. Borrower shall, and shall cause Operating Lessee and Approved Property Manager to permit agents, representatives and employees of Lender and the Servicer to enter and inspect the Properties or any portion thereof, and/or inspect, examine, audit and copy the books and records of Borrower, Operating Lessee and Approved Property Manager (including all recorded data of any kind or nature, regardless of the medium of recording), at such reasonable times as may be requested by Lender upon reasonable advance notice (all subject to the terms and conditions of the Approved Management Agreement). The cost of such inspections, examinations, copying or audits shall be borne by Borrower, including the cost of all follow up or additional investigations, audits or inquiries deemed reasonably necessary by Lender if (i) Lender shall determine that an Event of Default exists or (ii) such inspections, examinations, copying or audits are conducted by Lender in connection with its verification of completion of the Capital Plan. The cost of such inspections, examinations, audits and copying, if not paid for by Borrower following demand, may be added to the Indebtedness and shall bear interest thereafter until paid at the Default Rate. If Borrower prohibits, bars or fails to permit agents, representatives and employees of Lender and Servicer from entering and inspecting any of the Properties or from inspecting, examining, auditing and copying the books and records of Borrower, Operating Lessee and Approved Property Manager, as required by this Section, for more than five days after a written request is made by Lender to do so, Borrower agrees to pay Lender on demand the sum of $1,000.00 for each day after such five-day period that Borrower so prohibits or bars such inspection, and such sum or sums shall be part of the Indebtedness. Notwithstanding any of Lender’s or Servicer’s rights in this Section, in no event shall Lender or Servicer have any right to enter or inspect any Property or inspect, examine, audit or copy the books and records of Approved Property Manager that is greater than or inconsistent with the access afforded to Borrower and Operating Lessee under the terms of the Approved Management Agreement.

Section 5.6.Cooperate in Legal Proceedings. Except with respect to any claim by Borrower against Lender, Borrower shall, and shall cause Operating Lessee to, cooperate fully with Lender with respect to any proceedings before any Governmental Authority that may in any way affect the rights of Lender hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents and, in connection therewith, Lender may, at its election, participate or designate a representative to participate in any such proceedings.

Section 5.7.Leases.

(g)Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases, together with a detailed breakdown of income and cost associated therewith. All new Leases and renewals or amendments of Leases must (i) be entered into on an arms-length basis with Tenants that are not Affiliates of Borrower and whose identity and creditworthiness is appropriate for tenancy in property of comparable quality, (ii) provide for rental rates and other economic terms that, taken as a whole, are at least equivalent to then-existing market rates, based on the applicable market, and otherwise contain terms and conditions that are commercially reasonable, (iii) have an initial term of not more than 10 years, (iv) not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (v) be expressly subject and subordinate to the Mortgage and contain provisions for the agreement by the Tenant thereunder to attorn to Lender and any

purchaser at a foreclosure sale, such attornment to be self-executing and effective upon acquisition of title to the applicable Property by any purchaser at a foreclosure sale and (vi) require the Tenant thereunder to execute and deliver to Borrower an estoppel certificate addressing the issues set forth in Section 9.16(b) of this Agreement (in each case, unless Lender consents to such Lease in its sole discretion).

(h)All new Leases that are Major Leases, and all terminations, renewals and amendments of Major Leases, and any surrender of rights under any Major Lease, shall be subject to the prior written consent of Lender. If Lender shall fail to respond to Borrower’s request for such consent within five Business Days of Lender’s receipt thereof, Borrower may deliver to Lender a second request for consent stating in bold and capitalized type that “LENDER’S FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THE ENCLOSED REQUEST WITHIN TEN BUSINESS DAYS SHALL BE DEEMED LENDER’S APPROVAL.” In the event Lender fails to approve or disapprove such request within ten Business Days of Lender’s receipt of such second request, such request shall be deemed approved.

(i)Borrower shall, or shall cause Operating Lessee to, (i) observe and punctually perform all the material obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases; (ii) enforce all of the material terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases on the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed, short of termination thereof, except that the lessor may terminate any Lease following a material default thereunder by the respective Tenant; (iii) not collect any of the rents thereunder more than one month in advance; (iv) not execute any assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or associated rents other than the assignment of rents and leases under the Mortgage; (v) not cancel or terminate any guarantee of any of the Major Leases without the prior written consent of Lender; and (vi) not permit any subletting of any space covered by a Lease or an assignment of the Tenant’s rights under a Lease, except in strict accordance with the terms of such Lease. Borrower shall, or shall cause Operating Lessee to, deliver to each new Tenant a Tenant Notice upon execution of such Tenant’s Lease, and promptly thereafter deliver to Lender a copy thereof and evidence of such Tenant’s receipt thereof.

(j)Security deposits of Tenants shall be held by Borrower or Operating Lessee in compliance with Legal Requirements. Borrower shall, or shall cause Operating Lessee to, maintain books and records of sufficient detail to identify all security deposits of Tenants separate and apart from any other payments received from Tenants. Any bond or other instrument that Borrower or Operating Lessee is permitted to hold in lieu of cash security deposits under any applicable Legal Requirements shall be maintained in full force and effect unless replaced by cash deposits as described above, shall be issued by an institution reasonably satisfactory to Lender, shall (if not prohibited by any Legal Requirements) name Lender as payee or mortgagee thereunder (or at Lender’s option, be fully assignable to Lender) or may name Borrower or Operating Lessee as payee thereunder so long as such bond or other instrument is pledged to Lender as security for the Indebtedness and shall, in all respects, comply with any applicable Legal Requirements and otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall, upon Lender’s request, provide Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of Borrower’s and Operating Lessee’s compliance with the foregoing. During the continuance of

an Event of Default, Borrower shall, upon Lender’s request, cause to be deposited with Lender in an Eligible Account pledged to Lender an amount equal to the aggregate security deposits of the Tenants (and any interest theretofore earned on such security deposits and actually received by Borrower or Operating Lessee) that Borrower and Operating Lessee had not returned to the applicable Tenants or applied in accordance with the terms of the applicable Lease.

(k)Borrower shall cause to be promptly delivered to Lender a copy of each written notice from a Tenant under any Major Lease claiming that Borrower or Operating Lessee is in default in the performance or observance of any of the material terms, covenants or conditions thereof. Borrower shall cause each Major Lease executed after the Closing Date to which Borrower or Operating Lessee is a party to provide that any Tenant delivering any such notice shall send a copy of such notice directly to Lender.

(l)Whenever a Major Lease is terminated, whether by buy-out, cancellation, default, rejection or otherwise, and Borrower receives any payment, fee, damages or penalty in respect of such termination (a “Termination Fee”), Borrower shall promptly cause such Termination Fee to be remitted to Lender to be held in a reserve account controlled by Lender. Provided no Event of Default is continuing, (i) Lender shall disburse such Termination Fee or portion thereof to Borrower at the written request of Borrower in respect of Leasing Commissions and Tenant Improvement costs incurred by Borrower in connection with entering into Leases at the Properties and (ii) unless a Trigger Period is continuing, the remainder of such Termination Fee or portion thereof, if any, shall be remitted to the Cash Management Account after the space covered by such terminated Lease has been relet, the replacement Tenant is in occupancy and has commenced paying rent under the replacement Lease and all Leasing Commissions and Tenant Improvement costs relating to such space have been paid.

Section 5.8.Plan Assets, etc. Borrower will do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to ensure that neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee will be deemed to hold Plan Assets at any time.

Section 5.9.Further Assurances. Borrower shall (and, as applicable, shall cause Operating Lessee to), at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, from time to time as reasonably requested by Lender, execute, acknowledge, record, register, file and/or deliver to Lender such other instruments, agreements, certificates and documents (including Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and amended or replacement mortgages) as Lender may reasonably request to evidence, confirm, perfect and maintain the Liens securing or intended to secure the obligations of Borrower and the rights of Lender under the Loan Documents or to facilitate a replacement of the Cash Management Bank pursuant to Section 3.1(c) or a bifurcation of the Notes pursuant to Sections 1.1(c) and/or 9.7(b) or a restructuring of the Loan pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, in each case if requested by Lender, and do and execute all such further lawful and reasonable acts, conveyances and assurances for the better and more effective carrying out of the intents and purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as Lender shall reasonably request from time to time (including the payment and application of Loss Proceeds). Upon foreclosure, the appointment of a receiver or any other relevant action, Borrower shall (and, as applicable, shall cause Operating Lessee or Approved Property Manager

to), at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, 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 Collateral. Upon receipt of an affidavit from Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note, Borrower shall issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note in the same principle amount thereof and in the form thereof. Borrower hereby authorizes and appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge, record, register and/or file such instruments, agreements, certificates and documents, and to do and execute such acts, conveyances and assurances, should Borrower fail to do so itself in violation of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents following written request from Lender, in each case without the signature of Borrower. The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement. Borrower hereby ratifies all actions that such attorney shall lawfully take or cause to be taken in accordance with this Section 5.9.

Section 5.10.Management of Collateral.

(a)Each Property shall be managed at all times by an Approved Property Manager pursuant to an Approved Management Agreement. Pursuant to the Subordination of Property Management Agreement, Approved Property Manager shall agree that the Approved Management Agreement and the incentive fee payable thereunder are subject and subordinate to the Indebtedness. Borrower may from time to time, with Lender’s consent and subject to satisfaction of the Rating Condition, appoint a replacement Approved Property Manager to manage one or more of the Properties pursuant to an Approved Management Agreement, and such successor manager shall execute for Lender’s benefit a Subordination of Property Management Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Any request for Lender’s consent to the appointment of a replacement Approved Property Manager shall be made in writing and accompanied by the proposed management agreement and such information regarding the proposed replacement Approved Property Manager that would allow Lender to evaluate the same (including, the number of hotels and rooms under management, the geographic regions in which such managed properties are located, the flags related to such managed properties and the number of years the proposed manager has been managing such properties). If Lender shall fail to respond to Borrower’s request to approve or disapprove a replacement Approved Property Manager within ten Business Days of Lender’s receipt of such request and all required information, Borrower may deliver to Lender a second request for consent stating in bold and capitalized type that “LENDER’S FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THE ENCLOSED REQUEST WITHIN TEN BUSINESS DAYS SHALL BE DEEMED LENDER’S APPROVAL.” In the event Lender fails to approve or disapprove such request, or request additional information, within ten Business Days of Lender’s receipt of such second request, such request shall be deemed approved.

(b)The Properties shall be branded at all times as “Affinia”, except for the Property branded as “The Benjamin”, which shall continue to be branded at all times as “The Benjamin”.

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

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

(e)Upon an Event of Default followed by acceleration of the Loan, Lender may, in its sole discretion (in accordance with the applicable Subordination of Management Agreement), require Borrower or Operating Lessee to cause the termination of one or more Approved Management Agreements and to engage an Approved Property Manager selected by Lender to serve as replacement Approved Property Manager pursuant to an Approved Management Agreement.

Section 5.11.Notice of Material Event.

(a)Borrower shall give Lender prompt notice (containing reasonable detail) of (i) any material change in the financial or physical condition of any Property, as reasonably determined by Borrower, including the termination or cancellation of any Major Lease, the termination or cancellation of terrorism or other insurance required by this Agreement and/or the closure of more than the lesser of (x)10% of the guest rooms at any Property and (y) 25 guest rooms at any Property, in each case, for more than five nights (except in connection with work under the A-50 Capital Plan), (ii) any notice from the Approved Property Manager, to the extent such notice relates to a matter that is reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened in writing against Borrower, Operating Lessee or any Property that is reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) the insolvency or bankruptcy filing of Borrower, Operating Lessee, any Single-Purpose Equityholder, Sponsor or an Affiliate of any of the foregoing and (v) any other circumstance or event reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)If Borrower fails to provide to Lender any of the financial statements and other information specified in Sections 5.12, 5.13 or this Section 5.14 within the respective time period specified in such Sections, Lender shall deliver to Borrower written notice of such failure. If Borrower fails to provide such financial statements and other information within ten Business Days after receipt of such notice, (i) at Lender’s election, the same shall constitute an Event of Default and (ii) Borrower shall pay to Lender the amount of $20,000 within five Business Days following Lender’s demand therefor, plus an additional $20,000 for each 10-day period that

elapses until Borrower provides all required financial statements and other information; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be applicable to any failure to comply with Section 5.13(v) or Section 5.14(iv) to the extent the request made by Lender in connection therewith would not have been made by a prudent Lender acting reasonably.

Section 5.15.Insurance.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

of Moody’s or S&P that does rate such insurer (or, if both such rating agencies rate such insurer, the lower of the two ratings). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender accepts RSUI Indemnity Company in its current participation amount and position within the syndicate provided it maintains a rating of at least “A3” with Moody’s and a rating of at least “A XII” with AM Best.

(c)All Policies required pursuant to this Section 5.15:

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

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

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

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

(v)with respect to property and rental or business interruption insurance policies, shall either be written on a no coinsurance form or contain an endorsement providing that neither Borrower nor Lender nor any other party shall be a co‑insurer under such Policies;

(vi)with respect to property and rental or business interruption insurance policies, shall contain an endorsement providing that Lender shall receive at least 30 days’ prior written notice of any cancellation thereof (or, in the case of cancellation due to non-payment of premium, 10 days’ prior written notice;

(vii)with respect to property and rental or business interruption insurance policies, shall contain an endorsement providing that no act or negligence of Borrower or any foreclosure or other proceeding or notice of sale relating to one or more of the Properties shall affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as a mortgagee is concerned;

(viii)shall not contain provisions that would make Lender liable for any insurance premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder;

(ix)shall contain a waiver of subrogation against Lender, as applicable;

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

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

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

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

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

Section 5.16.Casualty and Condemnation.

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

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

(e)Lender may (x) jointly with Borrower settle and adjust any claims, (y) during the continuance of an Event of Default, settle and adjust any claims without the consent or cooperation of Borrower, or (z) allow Borrower to settle and adjust any claims; except that if no Event of Default is continuing, Borrower may settle and adjust claims aggregating not in excess of 5% of the Allocated Loan Amount for the applicable Property if such settlement or adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, but Lender shall be entitled to collect and receive (as set forth below) any and all Loss Proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no right to settle or adjust claims relating to damage caused by Hurricane Sandy. The reasonable expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of Loss Proceeds shall become part of the Indebtedness and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender upon demand therefor.

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

(i)in the case of a Casualty, the cost of restoration would not exceed 25% of the applicable Allocated Loan Amount and the Casualty does not (x) render untenantable, or result in the cancellation of Leases covering, more than 25% of the gross rentable area of such Property, or result in cancellation of Leases covering more than 25% of the base contractual rental revenue of such Property and/or (y) result in the removal of more than 30% of the guest rooms at such Property from the reservation pool;

(ii)in the case of a Condemnation, the Condemnation does not (x) render untenantable, or result in the cancellation of Leases covering, more than 15% of the gross rentable area of such Property and/or (y) result in the removal of more than 15% of the guest rooms at such Property from the reservation pool;

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

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

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

or if Lender otherwise elects to allow Borrower to restore such Property, then, provided no Event of Default is continuing, the Loss Proceeds after receipt thereof by Lender and reimbursement of any reasonable expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith shall be applied to the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding such Property or part thereof subject to the Casualty or Condemnation, in the manner set forth below (and Borrower shall commence, as promptly and diligently as practicable, to prosecute such restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding of such Properties in a workmanlike fashion and in accordance with applicable law to a status at least equivalent to the quality and character of such Properties immediately prior to the Condemnation or Casualty). Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be then continuing, Lender shall disburse such Loss Proceeds to Borrower upon Lender’s being furnished with (i) evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the estimated cost of completion of the restoration, (ii) funds, or assurances reasonably satisfactory to Lender that such funds are available and sufficient in addition to any remaining Loss Proceeds, to complete the proposed restoration (including for any reasonable costs and expenses of Lender to be incurred in administering such restoration) and for payment of the Indebtedness as it becomes due and payable during the restoration, and (iii) such architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey and such other evidences of cost, payment and performance as Lender may reasonably request; and Lender may, in any event, require that all plans and specifications for restoration reasonably estimated by Lender to exceed 5% of the Allocated Loan Amount for the applicable Property be submitted to and approved by Lender prior to commencement of work (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). If Lender reasonably estimates that the cost to restore will exceed 5% of the Allocated Loan Amount for the applicable Property, Lender may retain a local construction consultant to inspect such work and review Borrower’s request for payments and Borrower shall, on demand by Lender, reimburse Lender for the reasonable fees and expenses of such consultant (which fees and expenses shall constitute Indebtedness). No payment shall exceed 90% of the value of the work performed from time to time until such time as 50% of the restoration (calculated based on the anticipated aggregate cost of the work) has been completed, and amounts retained prior to completion of 50% of the restoration shall not be paid prior to the final

completion of the restoration. Funds other than Loss Proceeds shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such Loss Proceeds, and at all times the undisbursed balance of such proceeds remaining in the Loss Proceeds Account, together with any additional funds irrevocably and unconditionally deposited therein or irrevocably and unconditionally committed for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Lender to pay for the cost of completion of the restoration free and clear of all Liens or claims for Lien.

(g)Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Loss Proceeds lawfully or equitably payable to Lender in connection with the Properties. Lender shall be reimbursed for any expenses reasonably incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and, if reasonably necessary to collect such proceeds, the expense of an Appraisal on behalf of Lender) out of such Loss Proceeds or, if insufficient for such purpose, by Borrower. Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender as the attorney-in-fact of Borrower for matters in excess of 5% of the Allocated Loan Amount for the applicable Property with respect to the Property, with full power of substitution, subject to the terms of this Section 5.16, to settle for, collect and receive all Loss Proceeds and any other awards, damages, insurance proceeds, payments or other compensation from the parties or authorities making the same, to appear in and prosecute any proceedings therefor and to give receipts and acquittance therefor (which power of attorney shall be irrevocable so long as any of the Indebtedness is outstanding, shall be deemed coupled with an interest, and shall survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Borrower).

(h)If Borrower is not entitled to apply Loss Proceeds toward the restoration of a Property pursuant to Section 5.16(d) and Lender elects not to permit such Loss Proceeds to be so applied, such Loss Proceeds shall be applied on the first Payment Date following such election to the prepayment of the principal of the Loan and shall be accompanied by interest through the end of the applicable Interest Accrual Period (calculated as if the amount prepaid were outstanding for the entire Interest Accrual Period); provided, however, that if Borrower shall deliver to Lender written notice of its intent to Defease the Loan in the amount of the Release Price allocable to the affected Property and obtain a release of the affected Property from the Liens of the Loan Documents, and Borrower thereafter so Defeases the Loan and obtains a release of the affected Property (in each case, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.1), so long as no Event of Default is continuing, Lender shall remit the applicable Loss Proceeds to the applicable Borrower. If the Note has been bifurcated into multiple Notes or Note Components pursuant to Section 1.1(c), and Borrower does not effectuate a Defeasance of the Loan pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, all prepayments of the Loan made by Borrower in accordance with this Section 5.16(f) shall be applied to the Notes or Note Components in ascending order of interest rate (i.e., first to the Note or Note Component with the lowest interest rate until its outstanding principal balance has been reduced to zero, then to the Note or Note Component with the second lowest interest rate until its outstanding principal balance has been reduced to zero, and so on) or in such other order as Lender shall determine, which application may result in an increase in the weighted average of the interest rate applicable to such Notes or Note Components.

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

Section 5.17.Annual Budget. Each calendar year during the term of the Loan, pursuant to Section 4.04 of each Approved Management Agreement, within 60 days following the first day of each Fiscal Year, Borrower or Operating Lessee shall deliver or shall cause Approved Property Manager to deliver to Lender, for informational purposes only, the Annual Budget for each Property and, promptly after preparation thereof, any subsequent revisions to the Annual Budget of any Property. If the budget approval process under the Approved Management Agreement shall be ongoing during the continuance of a Trigger Period or an Event of Default, neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall exercise any budget approval right they may have under the Approved Management Agreement without the approval of Lender, such approval not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. For so long as Lender shall withhold its consent to any Annual Budget or any revisions thereto, the Annual Budget in effect prior to any such request for approval shall remain in effect. Without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, during the continuance of a Trigger Period, neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall make or approve any expenditures that are either not provided for in the Approved Annual Budget or that would, in the aggregate, cause any line item in the Approved Annual Budget for any individual Property to be exceeded by 5% or more measured on an annual basis, other than expenditures for non-discretionary items and expenditures required to be made by reason of the occurrence of any emergency (i.e., an unexpected event that threatens imminent harm to persons or property at a Property) and with respect to which it would be impracticable, under the circumstances, to obtain Lender’s prior consent thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, decreases made in any line item in the Approved Annual Budget shall not require Lender’s consent.

Section 5.18.Nonbinding Consultation. Lender shall have the right to consult with and advise Borrower regarding significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower and Operating Lessee, provided that any such advice or consultation or the result thereof shall be completely nonbinding on Borrower.

Section 5.19.Compliance with Encumbrances and Material Agreements. Borrower covenants and agrees as follows:

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

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

(iii)Borrower shall, and shall cause Operating Lessee to, deliver to Lender copies of any written notices of default or event of default relating to any Material Agreement and/or Permitted Encumbrance served by Borrower or Operating Lessee.

(iv)After the occurrence of an Event of Default, so long as the Loan is outstanding, Borrower shall not, and shall not cause Operating Lessee to, grant or withhold any material consent, approval or waiver under any Material Agreement or Permitted Encumbrance without the prior written consent of Lender.

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

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

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

Section 5.21.Operating Lease.

(a)Operating Lessee shall comply with the affirmative and negative covenants relating to the Operating Lessee contained in this Agreement, and no Default hereunder shall be excused by virtue of the fact that such Default was caused by Operating Lessee. Lender acknowledges that Operating Lessee is not liable for the Indebtedness; provided, however, that Operating Lessee acknowledges that Operating Lessee’s property constitutes Collateral for the Loan as set forth in the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall cause the Operating Lease to remain in effect in accordance with its terms so long as any portion of the Indebtedness is outstanding.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Documents or in the Operating Lease, upon conveyance of the Property by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, Lender may, at its sole option and regardless of whether Operating Lessee is in default or in compliance with the terms of the Operating Lease, terminate the Operating Lease without payment of any termination fee, penalty or other amount, such termination to be effective upon such conveyance or such later date as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion. In addition, upon acceleration of the Loan, Lender may, at its sole option and regardless of whether Operating Lessee is in default or in compliance with the terms of the Operating Lease, deliver a termination notice to Borrower and Operating Lessee terminating the Operating Lease without payment of any termination fee, penalty or other amount, such termination to be immediately effective upon the conveyance of the Property by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure.

(d)Operating Lessee hereby consents to the Loan and acknowledges that it derives substantial benefit from the making thereof. Borrower acknowledges that, pursuant to the Operating Lease, all amounts remitted to Lender or deposited into the Cash Management Account by the Approved Property Manager or Operating Lessee shall be credited against any rent payable by the Operating Lessee to Borrower under the Operating Lease.

(e)Operating Lessee hereby makes for and on behalf of itself each representation in Article IV relating to Operating Lessee and/or the Properties. With respect to any provision in this Agreement pursuant to which Borrower has covenanted to cause the Operating Lessee to take an action or refrain from taking an action, Operating Lessee hereby covenants that it shall take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the case may be (and any failure to take, or refrain from taking, such action shall be a Default hereunder).

(f)Operating Lessee hereby represents and warrants that all personal property of Operating Lessee located at or in any way related to any of the Properties is owned by Operating Lessee free and clear of all Liens whatsoever. Operating Lessee and Borrower acknowledge and agree that upon expiration or termination of the Operating Lease for any reason whatsoever (including termination of the Operating Lease absent of a default by Operating Lessee under the Operating Lease), Operating Lessee shall transfer all personal property of Operating Lessee located at or in any way related to the Properties (and all agreements relating to

the Properties to which Operating Lessee is a party) to (i) Lender, in the case of termination of the Operating Lease after an Event of Default and Lender’s exercise of its rights under the Loan Documents or (ii) at all other times, Borrower.

Section 5.22.Capital Plan.

(d)Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to cause the timely, workman-like completion of the Capital Plan on or before the dates set forth in Schedules F-1 through F-5.

(e)Borrower shall complete the A-50 Capital Plan according to the periodic targets set forth on Schedule F-1 hereto. The guest room construction phase of the A-50 Capital Plan shall commence no later than March 1, 2013 and, within 10 Business days after the commencement of such phase, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Officer’s Certificate certifying such commencement. Borrower shall substantially complete the entire A-50 Capital Plan by no later than October 31, 2013 and, within 10 Business days following such completion Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Officer’s Certificate certifying such completion and the total cost thereof. Lender shall have the right to (i) inspect the Property (in accordance with Section 5.5 of this Agreement) to verify completion of the A-50 Capital Plan and (ii) request backup documentation, including copies of invoices and cancelled checks related to the A-50 Capital Plan and/or a summary of such invoices and cancelled checks in a spreadsheet that also indicates the associated line item on Schedule F-1.

(f)Borrower shall spend a minimum of $17,500,000 on the completion of the A-50 Capital Plan; provided, however, that to the extent the A-50 Capital Plan shall be completed for an amount less than $17,500,000, within three Business Days following the date on which all work under the A-50 Capital Plan shall have been substantially completed, Borrower shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Borrower FF&E Account funds equal to the amount, if any, by which $17,500,000 exceeds the amount actually expended by Borrower in connection with the substantial completion of the A-50 Capital Plan.

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

Section 5.23.Sponsor Financial Covenant     . For so long as any portion of the Indebtedness shall remain outstanding, the Persons comprising Sponsor shall collectively maintain (i) a Net Worth of no less than $600,000,000 (up to $400,000,000 of which may be attributable to the Properties) and (ii) Liquidity of no less than (x) prior to the completion of the Capital Plan, $100,000,000 and (y) from and after the completion of the Capital Plan, $75,000,000 (collectively, the “Sponsor Financial Requirements”). Borrower shall deliver to Lender within 90 days following the end of each Fiscal Year an Officer’s Certificate from Sponsor certifying that it complies with the Sponsor Financial Requirements. In addition, prior to the completion of the Capital Plan, upon Lender’s request (not to exceed once per month), Borrower shall provide an Officer’s Certificate from Sponsor certifying that it complies with the

Sponsor Financial Requirements. The failure of Sponsor to satisfy the Net Worth requirement set forth in the first sentence of this Section 5.23 shall, in addition to causing the commencement of a Trigger Period, at Lender’s election, constitute an immediate Event of Default. The failure of Sponsor to satisfy the Liquidity requirement set forth in the first sentence of this Section 5.23 shall not constitute an Event of Default (but shall cause the commencement of a Trigger Period), provided that, if such failure shall occur prior to the completion of the Capital Plan, within 10 Business Days following such failure, Borrower shall deposit with Lender as additional collateral for the Loan an amount equal to 110% of the remaining cost to complete the Capital Plan (and the failure to so deposit such amount with Lender shall constitute an Event of Default).

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

Any actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents.

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

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

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

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

(i)Notwithstanding the availability of legal remedies, Lender will be entitled to obtain specific performance, mandatory or prohibitory injunctive relief, or other equitable relief requiring Borrower to cure or refrain from repeating any Default.

(j)Upon the occurrence and 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 (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to execute the Severed Loan Documents (Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof); provided, however, that Lender shall not make or execute any such Severed Loan Documents under such power until the expiration of three days after written notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under the aforesaid power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents. The Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents, and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date. In connection with the exercise by Lender of its rights

and remedies under the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, the Properties may be foreclosed upon and sold individually or collectively and in such manner and order as Lender in its sole discretion, may elect, subject to applicable law; the right of sale arising out of any Event of Default shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales.

Section 7.3.No Waiver. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed by Lender to be expedient. A waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

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

Any notice delivered to the Representative Borrower, with copies sent as provided above, shall be deemed to have been delivered to all Borrowers, and any notice received from the Representative Borrower shall be deemed to have been received from all Borrowers. Borrowers shall be entitled from time to time to appoint a replacement Representative Borrower by written notice delivered to Lender and signed by both the new Representative Borrower and the Representative Borrower being so replaced.

Section 9.5.TRIAL BY JURY. LENDER, BORROWER, OPERATING LESSEE AND SPONSOR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THAT THEY MAY LAWFULLY DO SO, HEREBY AGREE NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY LENDER, BORROWER, OPERATING LESSEE AND SPONSOR AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. LENDER, BORROWER, OPERATING LESSEE AND/OR SPONSOR ARE HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER, OPERATING LESSEE AND SPONSOR.

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

Section 9.7.Assignment and Participation.

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

(d)Lender and each assignee of all or a portion of the Loan shall have the right from time to time in its discretion to sell one or more of the Notes or Note Components or any interest therein (an “Assignment”) and/or sell a participation interest in one or more of the Notes or Note Components (a “Participation”). Borrower agrees to reasonably cooperate with Lender, at Lender’s request, in order to effectuate any such Assignment or Participation, and Borrower shall promptly provide such information, legal opinions and documents relating to Borrower, any Single-Purpose Equityholder, Sponsor, the Property,the Approved Property Manager and any Tenants as Lender may reasonably request in connection with such Assignment or Participation. In the case of an Assignment, (i) each assignee shall have, to the extent of such Assignment, the rights, benefits and obligations of the assigning Lender as a “Lender” hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (ii) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to an Assignment, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) one Lender shall serve as agent for all Lenders and shall be the sole Lender to whom notices, requests and other communications shall be addressed and the sole party authorized to grant or withhold consents hereunder on behalf of the Lenders (subject, in each case, to appointment of a Servicer, pursuant to Section 9.22, to receive such notices, requests and other communications and/or to grant or withhold consents, as the case may be) and to be the sole Lender to designate the account to which payments shall be made by Borrower to the Lenders hereunder. Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company or, upon the appointment of a Servicer, such Servicer, shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, as agent for Borrower, a register on which it shall enter the name or names of the registered owner or owners from time to time of the Notes. Borrower agrees that upon effectiveness of any Assignment of any Note in part, Borrower will promptly provide to the assignor and the assignee separate promissory notes in the amount of their respective interests (but, if applicable, with a notation thereon that it is given in substitution for and replacement of an original Note or any replacement thereof), and otherwise in the form of such Note, upon return of the Note then being replaced. The assigning Lender shall notify in writing each of the other Lenders of any Assignment. Each potential or actual assignee, participant or investor in a Securitization, and each Rating Agency, shall be entitled to receive all information received by Lender under this Agreement. After the effectiveness of any Assignment, the party conveying the Assignment shall provide notice to Borrower and each Lender of the identity and address of the assignee. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, after an Assignment, the assigning Lender (in addition to the assignee) shall continue to have the benefits of any indemnifications contained in this Agreement that such assigning Lender had prior to such assignment with respect to matters occurring prior to the date of such assignment.

(e)If, pursuant to this Section 9.7, any interest in this Agreement or any Note is transferred to any transferee that is not a U.S. Person, the transferor Lender shall cause such transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, (i) to furnish to the transferor Lender either Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI or any other form in order to establish an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, U.S. withholding tax on all interest payments

hereunder, and (ii) to agree (for the benefit of Lender and Borrower) to provide the transferor Lender a new Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI or any forms reasonably requested in order to establish an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, U.S. withholding tax upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and completed by such transferee, and to comply from time to time with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations with regard to such withholding tax exemption.

Section 9.8.Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Section 9.9.Preferences; Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. Lender shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the obligations of Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the Loan Documents. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any portion thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or portion thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its permitted successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, and Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Indebtedness without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Indebtedness out of the net proceeds of the Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, any legal right otherwise available to Borrower that would require the separate sale of any Collateral or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Collateral before proceeding against any other Collateral; and further in the event of such foreclosure, Borrower does hereby expressly consent to and authorize, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Collateral.

Section 9.10.Remedies of Borrower. If a claim is made that Lender or its agents have unreasonably delayed acting or acted unreasonably in any case where by law or under this

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

Section 9.11.Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction for, any setoffs or counterclaims. Borrower waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender arising out of or in any way connected with the Notes, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Indebtedness. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in the Loan shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses that are unrelated to the Loan.

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

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

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

Section 9.15.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Copies of originals, including copies

delivered by facsimile, pdf or other electronic means shall have the same import and effect as original counterparts and shall be valid, enforceable and binding for the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 9.16.Estoppel Certificates.

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

(b)Upon Lender’s written request, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from each Tenant whose Lease requires such Tenant to execute and deliver an estoppel certificate, and shall thereafter promptly deliver to Lender duly executed estoppel certificates from any one or more Tenants under the Leases as requested by Lender, attesting to such facts regarding the Leases as Lender may reasonably require, including, but not limited to, attestations that each Lease covered thereby is in full force and effect with no material defaults thereunder on the part of any party, that rent has not been paid more than one month in advance, except as security, and that the Tenant claims no defense or offset against the full and timely performance of its obligations under the Lease. Borrower shall not be required to deliver such certificates more frequently than one time in any 12-month period, other than the 12-month period during which a Securitization occurs or is attempted.

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

(g)Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall protect, indemnify, reimburse, defend and hold harmless Lender and its officers, partners, members, directors, trustees, advisors, employees, agents, sub-agents, Affiliates, successors, participants and assigns of any and all of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) for, from and against, and shall be responsible for, any and all Damages of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties arising out of (i) any negligence or tortious act or omission on the part of Borrower, Operating Lessee, Sponsor or any of their respective agents, contractors, servants, employees, sublessees, licensees or invitees; (ii) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (iii) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or about the

Property any part thereof or on adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (iv) any failure on the part of Borrower, Operating Lessee or Sponsor to perform or comply with any of the terms of the Loan Documents; (v) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Property or any part thereof; (vi) any failure of the Property, Borrower, Operating Lessee or Sponsor to comply with any Legal Requirements; (vii) any claim by brokers, finders or similar persons claiming to be entitled to a commission in connection with any lease or other transaction involving the Property or any part thereof under any legal requirement or any liability asserted against any Indemnified Party with respect thereto; and (viii) any and all claims and demands whatsoever that may be asserted against any Indemnified Party by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on such party’s part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants, or agreements contained in any Lease, in each case, to the extent resulting, directly or indirectly, from any claim (including any Environmental Claim) made (whether or not in connection with any legal action, suit, or proceeding) by or on behalf of any Person; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder to the extent that such Damages have been found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.

(h)If for any reason (including violation of law or public policy) the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 9.17 are unenforceable in whole or in part or are otherwise unavailable to Lender or insufficient to hold it harmless, then Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by Lender as a result of any Damages the maximum amount Borrower is permitted to pay under Legal Requirements. The obligations of Borrower under this Section 9.17 will be in addition to any liability that Borrower may otherwise have hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, will extend upon the same terms and conditions to any Affiliate of Lender and the partners, members, directors, agents, employees and controlling persons (if any), as the case may be, of Lender and any such Affiliate, and will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of Borrower, Lender, any such Affiliate and any such person.

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

(j)Any amounts payable to Lender by reason of the application of this Section 9.17 shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall become immediately due and payable

and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date Damages are sustained by the Indemnified Parties until paid.

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

(l)Borrower shall reimburse Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender (or any of its Affiliates) in connection with the Transaction and the origination of the Loan, including reasonable legal fees and disbursements, reasonable fees of auditors and consultants, reasonable accounting fees, and the costs of the Appraisals, the Engineering Reports, the Qualified Title Insurance Policies, the Qualified Surveys, the Environmental Reports and any other third-party diligence materials; (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender (or any of its Affiliates) in connection with (A) monitoring Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements, (B) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Borrower or by Lender (including Leases, Material Agreements, and Permitted Encumbrances), (C) filing, registration or recording fees and expenses and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including the filing, registration or recording of any instrument of further assurance) and all federal, state, county and municipal, taxes (including, if applicable, intangible taxes), search fees, title insurance premiums, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, any mortgage supplemental thereto, any security instrument with respect to the Collateral or any instrument of further assurance, (D) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any Collateral and (E) the satisfaction of the Rating Condition required or requested by Borrower hereunder; and (iii) all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees and, if the Loan has been Securitized, special servicing fees) incurred by Lender (or any of its Affiliates) in connection with the enforcement of any obligations of Borrower, or a Default by Borrower, under the Loan Documents, including any actual or attempted foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, refinancing, restructuring, settlement or workout and any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings (including any applicable transfer taxes). Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall pay all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses and all fees of Lender and its Servicer, operating advisor and securitization trustee, and all other actual expenses of the Securitization Vehicle, in each case resulting from Defaults and reasonably imminent Defaults by Borrower, the Loan going into special servicing or requests by Borrower (including enforcement expenses and any liquidation fees, workout fees, special servicing fees, operating advisor consulting fees or any other similar fees and interest payable on advances made by the Servicer or the securitization trustee with respect to delinquent debt

service payments or expenses of curing Borrower’s Defaults under the Loan Documents, and any expenses paid by Servicer or a trustee in respect of the protection and preservation of the Property, such as payment of taxes, ground rents and insurance premiums); and the costs of all property inspections and/or appraisals (or any updates to any existing inspection or appraisal) that Servicer may be required to obtain due to a request by Borrower or the occurrence of a Default or reasonably imminent Default.

Section 9.18.No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower, and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender, Borrower and Indemnified Parties any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender, and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof, and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

Section 9.19.Recourse.

(a)Except for any indemnification by Borrower under this Agreement or any indemnification by Borrower or Sponsor under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender’s recourse shall be solely to Borrower, the Property and the Collateral, except as set forth below. In addition, no recourse shall be had for the Loan against any other Person, including any affiliate of Borrower or any officer, director, partner or equityholder of Borrower or any such affiliate, unless expressly set forth in a Loan Document or other written agreement to which such Person is a party.

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

(i)any intentional or grossly negligent physical Waste with respect to any of the Properties or FF&E committed or consented to by Borrower, Operating Lessee, Sponsor or any of their respective Affiliates;

(ii)any fraud or intentional misrepresentation committed by Borrower, Operating Lessee, Sponsor or any of their respective Affiliates, in each case, in connection with the Loan or any Collateral;

(iii)any bad faith willful misconduct by Borrower, Sponsor or any of their respective Affiliates (including (1) any litigation or other legal proceeding initiated by such Person in bad faith that delays, opposes impedes, obstructs, hinders, enjoins or otherwise interferes with or frustrates the efforts of Lender to exercise any rights and remedies available to Lender as provided herein and in the other Loan Documents during the continuance of an Event of Default and (2) any refusal by Borrower to comply with Section 5.9 hereof);

(iv)the misappropriation or misapplication by Borrower, Operating Lessee, the Sponsor or any of their respective affiliates of any funds in violation of the Loan Documents, including misappropriation or misapplication of Revenues, security deposits and/or Loss Proceeds and the violation of the last sentence of Section 5.7(d) (for the avoidance of doubt, neither Borrower nor Sponsor shall have any liability for the failure of Lender or the Cash Management Bank to properly apply funds contained in the Collateral Accounts, provided Lender’s or Cash Management Bank’s access to such funds is not obstructed or interfered with in any way by the activities of Borrower or its Affiliates or by any action or proceeding affecting any of them or the Collateral);

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

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

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

(viii)the failure of any of Borrower, Operating Lessee and/or Operating Lessee Pledgor to be, and to at all times have been, a Single-Purpose Entity, including any and all liabilities, contingent or otherwise, arising from or related to (x) the actions, conduct and/or operating history of Borrower or Operating Lessee (or any Person merged into Borrower or Operating Lessee) prior to the Closing Date and (y) Borrower’s and/or Operating Lessee’s ownership (or the ownership of any Person merged into Borrower) of assets prior to the Closing Date that do not constitute a portion of the Collateral;

(ix)removal of personal property or FF&E by Borrower, Operating Lessee or any Affiliate thereof from any of the Properties during an Event of Default, unless replaced with personal property or FF&E, as applicable, of the same utility and of the same or greater value and utility;

(x)the payment of any fees or commissions by Borrower or Operating Lessee to any Affiliate in violation of the terms of the Loan Documents;

(xi)the failure of any of the Properties to comply with all applicable zoning requirements, including the failure to have certificates of occupancy that permit the use of the Properties as transient hotels (but excluding Damages arising from an inability to restore any Property to its condition prior to a Casualty due to Legal Requirements that prohibit the same in connection with a Casualty that destroys 75% or more of the Property), and any enforcement action sought by any Governmental Authority in respect thereof;

(xii)the failure of Borrower and Operating Lessee to renew the term of any Operating Lease; and

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

In addition to the foregoing, the Loan shall be fully recourse to Borrower and Sponsor, jointly and severally, upon (A) any Change of Control, unauthorized Transfer of any portion of one or more of the Properties constituting real property or unauthorized Liens and encumbrances on any portion of one or more of the Properties constituting real property (except for mechanic’s liens and similar Liens that are addressed by Borrower or Operating Lessee in accordance with clause (iv) of the definition of Permitted Encumbrances), in each case, in violation of the Loan Documents, (B) the occurrence of any filing by any of Borrower, Operating Lessee or Operating Lessee Pledgor under the Bankruptcy Code or any joining or colluding by any of Borrower, Operating Lessee or Operating Pledgor or any of their respective Affiliates (including Sponsor) with the intent to cause the filing of an involuntary case in respect of any Borrower or Operating Lessee under the Bankruptcy Code (provided, however, that if such involuntary case is dismissed within 60 days of such filing the Loan shall not be fully recourse to Borrower and Sponsor, however Borrower and Sponsor shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all Damages to Lender arising from or related to the filing of such involuntary case) or (C) the failure of any Borrower, Operating Lessee or Operating Lessee Pledgor to be, and to at all times have been, a Single-Purpose Entity, which failure results in a substantive consolidation of such Borrower with any Affiliate (other than a co-Borrower under the Loan) in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding (or the filing of a motion by any Person other than Lender for substantive consolidation in bankruptcy citing any such failure, provided, however, that if such motion is dismissed within 120 days of filing the Loan shall not be fully recourse to Borrower and Sponsor, however Borrower and Sponsor shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all Damages to Lender arising from or related to such motion). The Loan shall be fully recourse to Sponsor in an amount equal to its unpaid Guaranteed Obligations (as such term is defined in the Completion Guaranty) under the Completion Guaranty. The liability of the Persons comprising Sponsor for each of clauses (i) through (xvi) and (A), (B) and (C) of this Section 9.19(b) shall be either several or joint and several, as described in the Guaranty.

(c)The foregoing limitations on personal liability shall in no way impair or constitute a waiver of the validity of the Notes, the Indebtedness secured by the Collateral, or the Liens on the Collateral, or the right of Lender, as mortgagee or secured party, to foreclose and/or enforce its rights with respect to the Collateral after an Event of Default. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right which Lender may have under the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the debt owing to Lender by Borrower or to require that all Collateral shall continue to secure all of the Indebtedness owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents. Lender may seek a judgment on the Note (and, if necessary, name Borrower in such suit) as part of judicial proceedings to foreclose under the Mortgage or to foreclose pursuant to any other Loan Documents, or as a prerequisite to any such foreclosure or to confirm any foreclosure or sale pursuant to power of sale thereunder, and in the event any suit is brought on the Notes, or with respect to any Indebtedness or any judgment rendered in such judicial proceedings, such judgment shall constitute a Lien on and will be and can be enforced on and against the Collateral and the rents, profits, issues, products and proceeds thereof. Nothing in this Agreement shall impair the right of Lender to accelerate the maturity of the Note upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, nor shall anything in this Agreement impair or be construed to impair the right of Lender to seek personal judgments, and to enforce all rights and remedies under applicable law, jointly and severally against any guarantors to the extent allowed by any applicable guarantees. The provisions set forth in this Section 9.19 are not intended as a release or discharge of the obligations due under the Note or under any Loan Documents, but are intended as a limitation, to the extent provided in this Section, on Lender’s right to sue for a deficiency or seek a personal judgment against Borrower or Sponsor except as required in order to realize on the Collateral.

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

Section 9.21.Exculpation of Lender. Lender neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower or any other party to select, review, inspect, examine, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrower or any third party of (a) the existence, quality, adequacy or suitability of Appraisals of the Properties or other Collateral, (b) any environmental report, or (c) any other matters or items, including engineering, soils and seismic reports that are contemplated in the Loan Documents. Any such selection, review, inspection, examination and the like, and any other due diligence conducted by Lender, is solely for the purpose of protecting

Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents, and shall not render Lender liable to Borrower or any third party for the existence, sufficiency, accuracy, completeness or legality thereof.

Section 9.22.Servicer. Lender may delegate any and all rights and obligations of Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to the Servicer upon notice by Lender to Borrower, whereupon any notice or consent from the Servicer to Borrower, and any action by Servicer on Lender’s behalf, shall have the same force and effect as if Servicer were Lender. Lender shall consult with Borrower with respect to Lender’s choice of master and special servicers; provided, however, that no such consultation shall be binding on Lender.

Section 9.23.No Fiduciary Duty.

(b)Borrower acknowledges that, in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Transaction, Lender has relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial, legal, regulatory, accounting, tax and other information provided to, discussed with or reviewed by Lender for such purposes, and Lender does not assume any liability therefor or responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or independent verification thereof. Lender, its Affiliates and their respective stockholders and employees (for purposes of this Section, the “Lending Parties”) have no obligation to conduct any independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities (including any contingent, derivative or off-balance sheet assets and liabilities) of Sponsor, Borrower or any other Person or any of their respective Affiliates or to advise or opine on any related solvency or viability issues.

(c)It is understood and agreed that (i) the Lending Parties shall act under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as an independent contractor, (ii) the Transaction is an arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lending Parties, on the one hand, and Borrower, on the other, (iii) each Lending Party is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of Borrower, Sponsor or their respective Affiliates, stockholders, employees or creditors or any other Person and (iv) nothing in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Transaction or otherwise shall be deemed to create (a) a fiduciary duty (or other implied duty) on the party of any Lending Party to Sponsor, Borrower, any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders, employees or creditors, or any other Person or (b) a fiduciary or agency relationship between Sponsor, Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders, employees or creditors, on the one hand, and the Lending Parties, on the other. Borrower agrees that neither it nor Sponsor nor any of their respective Affiliates shall make, and hereby waives, any claim against the Lending Parties based on an assertion that any Lending Party has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to Borrower, Sponsor of their respective Affiliates, stockholders, employees or creditors. Nothing in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is intended to confer upon any other Person (including Affiliates, stockholders, employees or creditors of Borrower and Sponsor) any rights or remedies by reason of any fiduciary or similar duty.

(d)Borrower acknowledges that it has been advised that the Lending Parties are a full service financial services firm engaged, either directly or through Affiliates in various activities, including securities trading, investment banking and financial advisory, investment management, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities and financial

planning and benefits counseling for both companies and individuals. In the ordinary course of these activities, the Lending Parties may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and/or financial instruments (including loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers and may at any time hold long and short positions in such securities and/or instruments. Such investment and other activities may involve securities and instruments of Affiliates of Borrower, including Sponsor, as well as of other Persons that may (i) be involved in transactions arising from or relating to the Transaction, (ii) be customers or competitors of Borrower, Sponsor and/or their respective Affiliates, or (iii) have other relationships with Borrower, Sponsor and/or their respective Affiliates. In addition, the Lending Parties may provide investment banking, underwriting and financial advisory services to such other Persons. The Lending Parties may also co-invest with, make direct investments in, and invest or co-invest client monies in or with funds or other investment vehicles managed by other parties, and such funds or other investment vehicles may trade or make investments in securities of Affiliates of Borrower, including Sponsor, or such other Persons. The Transaction may have a direct or indirect impact on the investments, securities or instruments referred to in this paragraph. Although the Lending Parties in the course of such other activities and relationships may acquire information about the Transaction or other Persons that may be the subject of the Transaction, the Lending Parties shall have no obligation to disclose such information, or the fact that the Lending Parties are in possession of such information, to Borrower, Sponsor or any of their respective Affiliates or to use such information on behalf of Borrower, Sponsor or any of their respective Affiliates.

(e)Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Transaction and the process leading thereto.

Section 9.24.Borrower Information. Borrower shall make available to Lender all information concerning its business and operations that Lender may reasonably request, provided that disclosure of such information does not and will not violate any securities laws or violate the terms of any confidentiality agreement between Borrower and/or any Affiliate of Borrower on the one hand, and any third party, on the other hand. Lender shall have the right to disclose any and all information provided to Lender by Borrower or Sponsor regarding Borrower, Sponsor, the Loan and the Properties (i) to Affiliates of Lender and to Lender’s agents and advisors, (ii) to any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer, participation or Securitization of all or any portion of the Loan or any participations therein or by any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations, in each case, to the extent reasonably required by such Person, (iii) to any Rating Agency in connection with a Securitization or as otherwise required in connection with a disposition of the Loan, (iv) to any Person necessary or desirable in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (v) to any governmental agency or representative thereof or by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or pursuant to legal or judicial process and (vi) in any Disclosure Document (as defined in the Cooperation Agreement). In addition, Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the

information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to Lender in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each party hereto (and each of their respective Affiliates, employees, representatives or other agents) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions and other tax analyses) that are provided to any such party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. For the purpose of this Section 9.24, “tax structure” means any facts relevant to the federal income tax treatment of the Transaction but does not include information relating to the identity of any of the parties hereto or any of their respective Affiliates.

Section 9.25.PATRIOT Act Records. Lender hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower and Sponsor, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and Sponsor and other information that will allow Lender to identify Borrower or Sponsor in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.

Section 9.26.Prior Agreements. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS CONTAIN THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO IN RESPECT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY, AND ALL PRIOR AGREEMENTS AMONG OR BETWEEN SUCH PARTIES, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, INCLUDING ANY TERM SHEETS, CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENTS AND COMMITMENT LETTERS, ARE SUPERSEDED BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (EXCEPT THAT ANY ORIGINATION FEE SPECIFIED IN ANY TERM SHEET, COMMITMENT LETTER OR FEE LETTER SHALL BE AN OBLIGATION OF BORROWER AND SHALL BE PAID AT CLOSING, AND ANY INDEMNIFICATIONS, FLEX PROVISION, EXIT FEES AND THE LIKE PROVIDED FOR THEREIN SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING).

Section 9.27.Publicity. If the Loan is made, Lender may issue press releases, advertisements and other promotional materials describing in general terms or in detail Lender’s participation in such transaction, and may utilize photographs of the Properties in such promotional materials; provided, however, that in the case of any press release, Borrower shall have the right to reasonably approve the same within one Business Day of its receipt of the text of any such press release (and Borrower’s failure to grant or withhold such consent within such one Business Day period shall be deemed consent by Borrower to such press release). Borrower shall not make any references to Lender in any press release, advertisement or promotional material issued by Borrower or Sponsor, unless Lender shall have approved of the same in writing prior to the issuance of such press release, advertisement or promotional material.

Section 9.28.Delay Not a Waiver. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under the Note or under any other Loan Document, or under any other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or

constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

Section 9.29.Schedules and Exhibits Incorporated. The Schedules and Exhibits annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

Section 9.30.Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

Section 9.31.Joint and Several Liability. The representations, covenants, warranties and obligations of Borrower hereunder are joint and several. In the event of (a) any payment by any one or more of the Borrowers of any amount in excess of its respective Proportional Amount, or (b) the foreclosure of, or the delivery of deeds in lieu of foreclosure relating to, any of the Collateral owned by one or more of the Borrowers, each Borrower (the “Overpaying Borrower”) that has paid more than its Proportional Amount or whose Collateral or assets have been utilized to satisfy obligations under the Loan or otherwise for the benefit of one or more other Borrowers shall be entitled, after payment in full of the Note and the satisfaction of all the Borrowers’ other obligations to the Lender under the Loan Documents, to contribution from each of the benefited Borrowers (i.e., the Borrowers, other than the Overpaying Borrower, who have paid less than their respective Proportional Amount or whose Collateral or assets have not been so utilized to satisfy obligations under the Loan) for the amounts so paid, advanced or benefited, up to such benefited Borrower’s then current Proportional Amount. Such right to contribution shall be subordinate in all respects to the Loan. As used herein, the “Proportional Amount” with respect to any Borrower shall equal the amount derived as follows: (a) the ratio of the aggregate amount of the Loan allocable to the Property or Properties in which such Borrower has an interest to the then outstanding Principal Amount; times (b) the aggregate amount paid or payable by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents (including interest).
