    iv.
    Except in the case of payments following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (and, for avoidance of doubt, not including any prepayments pursuant to Section 4.b below), there shall be no voluntary prepayment of the Loan unless simultaneously therewith there are prepayments of all other Combined Loans with the aggregate amount of such prepayments allocated ratably among the Notes and the Mezzanine Notes based on the outstanding principal balances thereof. The Prepayment Amount for this Note shall be equal to the Proportionate Combined Loan Share of the aggregate amount of such voluntary prepayments on the Combined Loans.

6


    b.
    Mandatory Prepayments.

    i.
    On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Borrower is obligated to deposit Proceeds with Lender pursuant to the Loan Agreement, if Lender is not obligated pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, or does not elect, to make such Proceeds available to Borrower for the restoration of the Property, (1) Borrower shall comply with the provisions set forth in Section 4(c) and Section 4(d); (2) such Proceeds shall be paid, first, pro rata and pari passu; to Holder and the holder of Note A-2 in respect of the outstanding principal balance of this Note and Note A-2, respectively; and second, pro rata and pari passu, to the holders of Note B-1 and Note B-2 in respect of the outstanding principal balance of Note B-1 and Note B-2, respectively; provided, however, that upon written agreement of Holder and the holders of Note A-2, Note B-1 and Note B-2, such sums may be applied to prepay the outstanding principal balance of this Note, Note A-2, Note B-1, and Note B-2 as otherwise allocated by Lender and without regard for the effect on the weighted average interest rate in accordance with Section 6.2.3(b) of the Loan Agreement.

    On the Prepayment Date, Borrower shall pay to Holder all other sums, excluding scheduled interest payments but including, and not limited to, the Prepayment Fee (provided that no Prepayment Fee shall be payable with respect to a mandatory prepayment from Proceeds under Section 4(b) above), then due Holder under this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Security Instruments, and the other Loan Documents.
