(ii) If, pursuant to the terms of this Section, the Loan is bearing interest at the Adjusted Prime Rate and Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Lender shall give notice thereof -29- to Borrower by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower as soon as reasonably practical, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period. If such notice is given, the Loan shall bear interest at the Eurodollar Rate beginning on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to elect to have the Loan bear interest at either the Eurodollar Rate or the Adjusted Prime Rate. (b) If any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender in good faith to make or maintain the portion of the Loan bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, (I) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make the Loan bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate shall be canceled forthwith and (II) the Loan shall automatically bear interest at the Adjusted Prime Rate on the next succeeding Payment Date or within such earlier period as required by Applicable Law.

Upon written demand from Borrower, Lender shall demonstrate in reasonable detail the circumstances giving rise to Lender's determination and the calculation substantiating the Adjusted Prime Rate and any additional costs incurred by Lender in making the conversion. Lender's written notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, Lender shall provide Borrower with written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event or circumstance by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. (d) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs to the extent it is a consequence of (I) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on the Loan while bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Eurodollar Rate, (II) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the Loan on a day that (A) is not the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or (B) is the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto if Borrower did not give the prior written notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Eurodollar Rate hereunder and (III) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Applicable Interest Rate from the Eurodollar Rate to the Adjusted Prime Rate with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate on a date other than the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Eurodollar Rate hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (I), (II) and (III) are herein referred to collectively as the "Breakage Costs"). This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. (e) In the case that the Loan is affected by the circumstances described above, if any Advance has not yet been made but is then the subject of a Notice of Borrowing, Borrower shall be deemed to have canceled and rescinded such notice. 2.2.4 Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on (or, to the extent permitted herein, before) the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all interest that would accrue on the outstanding -31- principal balance of the Loan through and including the end of the Interest Period in which the Maturity Date occurs (even if such Interest Period extends beyond the Maturity Date). 2.2.5 Intentionally Omitted. 2.2.6 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law in order to defray 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. Any such amount shall be secured by the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by Applicable Law; provided, however, Borrower shall have the option, not to be exercised more than three (3) times during the term of the Loan, to not pay the late payment charge contemplated by this Section 2.2.6 in the event any Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount is paid within one (1) Business Day after the date the same was due. 2.2.7 Usury Savings. This Agreement and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding. 2.2.8 Foreign Taxes. If the Loan is bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, all payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, Foreign Taxes, excluding, in the case of Lender, Foreign Taxes measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which Lender is resident or organized, or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of Lender, taxes measured by its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of Lender's lending office or any political subdivision thereof or in which Lender is resident or engaged in business. If any non-excluded Foreign Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to -32- yield to Lender (after payment of all non-excluded Foreign Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any non-excluded Foreign Tax is payable pursuant to Applicable Law by Borrower, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt showing payment of such non-excluded Foreign Tax or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender which may result from any failure by Borrower to pay any such non-excluded Foreign Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, provided, however, in the event that Lender or any successor and/or assign of Lender is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof Lender agrees that, prior to the first date on which any payment is due such entity hereunder, it will deliver to Borrower (i) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying in each case that such entity is entitled to receive payments under the Note, without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, or (ii) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or successor applicable form, as the case may be, to establish an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each entity required to deliver to Borrower a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or Form W-9 pursuant to the preceding sentence further undertakes to deliver to Borrower two further copies of the said letter and W-8BEN or W-8ECI or Form W-9, or successor applicable forms, or other manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such letter or form expires (which, in the case of the Form W-8ECI, is the last day of each U.S. taxable year of the non-U.S. entity) or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent letter and form previously delivered by it to Borrower, and such other extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by Borrower, certifying in the case of a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI that such entity is entitled to receive payments under the Note without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless in any such case an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such entity from duly completing and delivering any such letter or form with respect to it and such entity advises Borrower that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax, and in the case of a Form W-9, establishing an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such entity fails to provide a duly completed Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or other applicable form and, under Applicable Law, in order to avoid liability for Foreign Taxes, Borrower is required to withhold on payments made to such entity that has failed to provide the applicable form, Borrower shall be entitled to withhold the appropriate amount of Foreign Taxes.

A termination of a Lease (other than a Major Lease) with a tenant who is in default beyond applicable notice and grace periods shall not be considered an action which has a material adverse effect on the value of the applicable Property taken as a whole. Any amendment, modification, waiver, termination, rent reduction, space surrender or term shortening which does not satisfy the requirements set forth in this Subsection shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender and its counsel, at Borrower's expense.

(e) To the extent actually received by Lender, Lender shall hold any and all monies representing security deposits under the Leases (the "Security Deposits") received by Lender, in accordance with the terms of the respective Lease, and shall only release the Security Deposits in order to return a tenant's Security Deposit to such tenant if such tenant is entitled to the return of the Security Deposit under the terms of the Lease. 5.1.18 Management Agreement. (a) The Improvements on the Properties are operated under the terms and conditions of the Management Agreement. In no event shall the base management fees under the Management Agreement exceed (I) with respect to the Properties managed by Six Continents Hotels, the sum of (x) five percent (5%) of total room revenue and (y) two percent (2%) of total revenue; provided, however, Six Continents Hotels shall not charge any additional franchise fees in connection with such Properties and (II) with respect to the Properties managed by any Person other than Six Continents Hotels, four percent (4%) of the gross income derived from the Property (excluding any incentive management fees which are subordinate to the Loan). Borrower shall (or shall cause Operating Lessee to) (i) diligently perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement, on the part of Operating Lessee to be performed and observed to the end that all things shall be done which are necessary to keep unimpaired the rights of Operating Lessee under the Management Agreement and (ii) promptly notify Lender of the giving of any notice by Manager to Operating Lessee of any default by Operating Lessee in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of Operating Lessee to be performed and observed and deliver to Lender a true copy of each such notice. Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall surrender the Management Agreement, consent to the assignment by the Manager of -85- its interest under the Management Agreement, or terminate or cancel the Management Agreement, or modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Management Agreement, in any material respect, either orally or in writing.

If Operating Lessee shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the Management Agreement on the part of Operating Lessee to be performed or observed, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of Operating Lessee to be performed or observed to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Operating Lessee to the end that the rights of Operating Lessee in, to and under the Management Agreement shall be kept unimpaired and free from default. Lender and any Person designated by Lender by written notice to Borrower shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the applicable Property at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action. If the Manager shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice sent to Borrower and/or Operating Lessee of default under the Management Agreement, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender in good faith, in reliance thereon. Borrower and Operating Lessee shall not, and shall not permit the Manager to, sub-contract all or any material portion of its management responsibilities under the Management Agreement to a third-party without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Borrower shall, from time to time, cause Operating Lessee to request of Manager and deliver to Lender upon receipt such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by Operating Lessee with the terms of the Management Agreement as may be reasonably requested by Lender. Borrower and/or Operating Lessee shall exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of the Management Agreement to the extent required to continue it in full force and effect until after the Maturity Date, and Borrower hereby authorizes and appoints (and shall cause Operating Lessee to authorize and appoint) Lender their attorney-in-fact to exercise any such option in the name of and upon behalf of Borrower and/or Operating Lessee, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest. Any sums expended by Lender pursuant to this paragraph (i) shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such cost is incurred to the date of payment to Lender, (ii) shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt, (iii) shall be secured by the lien of the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents and (iv) shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor. -86- (b) Without limitation of the foregoing, Borrower shall cause Operating Lessee, upon the request of Lender and in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Assignment of Management Agreement, to terminate the Management Agreement and replace the Manager, without penalty or fee, if at any time during the Loan: (a) the Manager shall become insolvent or a debtor in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, (b) there exists an Event of Default or (c) there exists an event of default by Manager under the Management Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.4(a) to the contrary, Borrower may request Lender to obtain (and Lender shall promptly order) new Appraisals for one or more Properties; provided, (i) Borrower shall be obligated to pay all costs and expenses in connection with such Appraisals and (ii) Borrower may not request Lender to obtain such Appraisals more than one (1) time with respect to each Property in any consecutive twelve (12) month period.

The initial $30,000,000 of insurance required pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i), (iii) and (vi) hereof (the "Initial Tier") may be with (1) one or more primary insurers having (or 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), a claims paying ability rating by S&P not lower than "AA-" and an A.M. Best rating of at least "A:IX" (a "Initial Tier Insurer") and (2) the balance of the coverage is with one or more carriers having a claims paying ability rating by S&P not lower than "BBB-" and an A.M. Best rating of at least "A:IX"; provided, however, Endurance Specialty Insurance, Ltd. shall be deemed a Initial Tier Insurer so long as it (x) maintains an A.M.

All other insurance companies must have a claims paying ability/financial strength rating of "A" (or its equivalent) or better by all of the Rating Agencies and have an A.M.

In the event Borrower desires to obtain the insurance required hereunder from an insurer not meeting the requirements of this Section 6.1(b), Borrower may request, in writing, Lender's approval of such insurer, which approval may be given or withheld in Lender's sole discretion. (c) Borrower shall not obtain (i) any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy unless, in each case, such Policy is at least equal in scope of coverage as if a "stand-alone" Policy meeting all of the requirement noted above is provided as such Policy is approved in advance in writing by Lender and Lender's interest is included therein as provided in this Agreement and such Policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer, or (ii) separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in Section 6.1(a) to be furnished by, or which may be reasonably required to be furnished by, Borrower. In the event Borrower obtains separate insurance or an umbrella or a blanket policy, Borrower shall notify Lender of the same and shall cause certified copies of each Policy to be delivered as required in Section 6.1(a). Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a).

(f) Borrower shall furnish to Lender, on or before thirty (30) days after the close of each of Borrower's fiscal years, a statement certified by Borrower or a duly authorized officer of Borrower of the amounts of insurance maintained in compliance herewith, of the risks covered by such insurance and of the insurance company or companies which carry such insurance and, if requested by Lender, verification of the adequacy of such insurance by an independent insurance broker or appraiser acceptable to Lender. (g) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, with prior notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Properties, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate, and all expenses 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 shall be secured by the Security Instruments and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. SECTION 6.3 CONDEMNATION. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of all or any part of any Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its 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. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If any Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall, promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the applicable Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4. If any Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.

All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant's fees, shall be paid by Borrower.

Amounts so deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender in accordance with Section 7.7 hereof. Amounts so deposited -106- shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower's "Required Repair Fund." Borrower shall perform the repairs at all of the Properties, including, without limitation, the Reserve Properties, as more particularly set forth on EXHIBIT Z hereto (such repairs hereinafter referred to as "Required Repairs"). Borrower shall provide evidence to Lender that all Required Repairs have been completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all Legal Requirements on or before the date which is three hundred sixty five (365) days from the date such Property is encumbered by the Lien of a Security Instrument.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account and Lender may apply such funds either to completion of the Required Repairs at one or more of the Properties or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender's right to withdraw and apply Required Repair Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 7.1.2 Release of Required Repair Funds. With respect to the Reserve Properties only, Lender shall disburse to Borrower the Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account from time to time upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (a) Borrower shall submit a written request for payment to Lender at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made and specifies the Required Repairs to be paid, (b) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, (c) Lender shall have received an Officers' Certificate (i) stating that all Required Repairs at the applicable Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in good and workmanlike manner and, to the best of Borrower's knowledge, in accordance with all Legal Requirements and Environmental Laws, such certificate to be accompanied by a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required to commence and/or complete the Required Repairs, (ii) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs performed at such Property with respect to the reimbursement to be funded by the requested disbursement, and (iii) stating that each such Person has been paid in full upon such disbursement, such Officers' Certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender, (d) at Lender's option, a title search for such Property indicating that such Property is free from all Liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender, and (e) Lender shall have received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Required Repairs at such Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for upon such disbursement to Borrower. Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Required Repair Account with respect to any Property unless such requested disbursement is in an amount greater than $25,000 (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the Required Repair Account is less than $25,000, in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made). Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Required Repair Account with respect to a Property in excess of the amount allocated for such Property. Upon Lender's receipt of evidence of completion of all -107- Required Repairs for all Reserve Properties in accordance with the terms hereof, any remaining Required Repair Funds shall be disbursed to Borrower. SECTION 7.2 TAX AND INSURANCE ESCROW FUND. With respect to the Reserve Properties only (unless Lender has agreed to waive such requirement with respect to one or more such Reserve Properties), Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes (the "Monthly Tax Deposit") that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates; and (b) at the option of Lender, if the liability or casualty Policy maintained by Borrower covering the Properties shall not constitute an approved blanket or umbrella Policy pursuant to Section 6.1(c) hereof, or Lender shall require Borrower to obtain a separate Policy pursuant to Section 6.1(c) hereof, one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums (the "Monthly Insurance Premium Deposit") that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the "Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund"). In the event Lender shall elect to collect payments in escrow for Insurance Premiums pursuant to clause (b) above, Borrower shall pay to Lender an Initial Deposit to be determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, to increase the amounts in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to an amount which, together with anticipated Monthly Insurance Premium Deposits, shall be sufficient to pay all Insurance Premiums as they become due. The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note and this Agreement, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), 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. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Properties. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be. -108- SECTION 7.3 REPLACEMENTS AND REPLACEMENT RESERVE. 7.3.1 Replacement Reserve Fund. With respect to the Reserve Properties only (unless Lender has agreed to waive such requirement with respect to one or more such Reserve Properties), Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date, the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit for Capital Expenditures required to be made to such Reserve Properties during the calendar year, as may be necessary to maintain and operate first class, reputable hotels in the manner and quality of the hotels operated at the Properties on the date hereof (collectively, the "Replacements"). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower's "Replacement Reserve Fund". 7.3.2 Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account. (a) Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower only for the costs of the Replacements. Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance (other than Replacements) to a Property or for costs which are to be reimbursed from the Required Repair Fund. (b) Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to reimburse Borrower for the actual costs of Replacements. In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account if an Event of Default exists. (c) Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to Lender and shall specify (i) the specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested, (ii) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if the Replacement includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (iii) the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Replacement other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, and (iv) the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each Replacement for which the disbursement is requested. With each request Borrower shall certify that, to the best of Borrower's knowledge, all Replacements have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the applicable Property to which the Replacements are being provided. Upon request of Lender in connection with each request for disbursement in excess of $200,000, Borrower shall provide Lender with copies of invoices for amounts in excess of $100,000 for items or materials purchased or contracted labor or services. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of completion satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment. (d) Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Replacements with respect to each request for disbursement prior to submitting such request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account or, at the request of Borrower, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to Borrower and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due in connection with a Replacement. In -109- the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment prior to Lender's disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than $100,000 for completion of its work or delivery of its materials. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of Applicable Law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the applicable Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current reimbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request). (e) Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with the final disbursement) the total cost of all Replacements in any request shall not be less than $25,000. 7.3.3 Performance of Replacements. (a) Borrower shall make Replacements when required in order to keep each Property in condition and repair consistent with other first class, full service hotels in the same market segment and under the same franchisor in the metropolitan area in which the respective Property is located, and to keep each Property or any portion thereof from deteriorating. Borrower shall complete all Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of making each such Replacement. (b) Intentionally Omitted. (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, Lender shall have the option, without providing any prior notice to Borrower, to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under existing contracts or, upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice to Borrower, to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement and to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder. (d) In order to facilitate Lender's completion or making of the Replacements pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c) above, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto any Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make the Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect such Property from damage. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced under -110- the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Security Instruments. For this purpose, Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the Replacements in the name of Borrower. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Borrower empowers said attorney-in-fact as follows: (i) to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve Account for the purpose of making or completing the Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to the Replacements as shall be necessary or desirable to complete the Replacements; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against any Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the Replacements, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with any Property or the rehabilitation and repair of any Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement. (e) Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing the Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Replacement Reserve Fund to make or complete any Replacement; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with the Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Replacement. (f) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender's agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lender's engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties making Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 to enter onto each Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Replacements and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Replacements which are or may be kept at each Property, and to complete any Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3. Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender's representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.3.3(f) or the completion of Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3. (g) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may require an inspection of a Property at Borrower's expense prior to making a monthly disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account, with respect to each Property, in order to verify completion of the Replacements for which reimbursement is sought. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional. -111- (h) The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic's, materialmen's or other Liens. (i) Before each disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account relating to actual physical work on the Improvements in excess of $200,000 with respect to each Property, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the applicable Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic's or materialmen's Liens or other Liens of any nature have been placed against the applicable Property since the date of recordation of the related Security Instrument and that title to such Property is free and clear of all Liens (other than the Lien of the related Security Instrument and other Permitted Encumbrances). (j) All Replacements shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the applicable Property and applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters. (k) In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workmen's compensation insurance, builder's risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under Applicable Law in connection with a particular Replacement. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed. Certified copies of such policies shall be delivered to Lender 7.3.4 Failure to Make Replacements. (a) It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Section 7.3 and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice from Lender. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may use the Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to completion of the Replacements as provided in Sections 7.3.3(c) and 7.3.3(d), or for any other repair or replacement to any Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender's right to withdraw and apply the Replacement Reserve Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. (b) Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of Default to payment of the Debt or in any specific order or priority. 7.3.5 Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents. -112- SECTION 7.4 GROUND LEASE ESCROW FUND. With respect to the Reserve Properties only (unless Lender has agreed to waive such requirement with respect to one or more such Reserve Properties), Borrower shall pay to Lender, together with the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, an amount (the "Monthly Ground Rent Deposit") that is estimated by Lender to be due and payable by Borrower under the Ground Lease for all rent and any and all other charges (the "Ground Rent") which may be due by Borrower under the Ground Lease in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all sums payable under the Ground Lease at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the dates due (said amounts, hereinafter called the "Ground Lease Escrow Fund"). The Ground Lease Escrow Fund is for the purpose of paying all sums due under the Ground Lease. Upon Borrower's failure to pay any Ground Rents after the receipt of any notice and at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of any cure period available to Borrower pursuant to the Ground Lease, Lender may, in its discretion, apply any amounts held in the Ground Lease Escrow Fund to the payment of such Ground Rent; provided however, that the provisions of this Section 7.4 shall not be deemed to create any obligation on the part of Lender to pay any such Ground Rent from amounts on deposit in the Ground Lease Escrow Fund. Such deposit may be increased by Lender in the amount Lender deems is necessary in its reasonable discretion based on any increases in the Ground Rent due under the Ground Lease. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7.4 to the contrary, Lender may, in its sole discretion, require Borrower to post a cash reserve in an amount equal to one payment of Ground Rents due under each Ground Lease (the "Ground Lease Cash Reserve") in lieu of Borrower making the Monthly Ground Rent Deposit. Borrower shall have no right to a withdrawal of (and Lender shall have no obligation to disburse and/or apply) any portion of the Ground Lease Cash Reserve. SECTION 7.5 RESERVE FUNDS, GENERALLY. (a) Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Funds and the related Accounts and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund and related Account as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds and the related Accounts shall constitute additional security for the Debt. (b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion. (c) The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. (d) The Reserve Funds shall be held in interest bearing accounts and all earnings or interest on a Reserve Fund shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Fund and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in such Reserve Fund, except that earnings or interest on the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall not be added to or become a part thereof and shall be the sole property of and shall be paid to Lender. -113- (e) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or related Account or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. (f) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds or the related Accounts or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds or the related Accounts were established, except to the extent arising from the fraud, illegal acts, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender, its agents or employees. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds or the related Accounts; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured VIII.

SECTION 8.2 REMEDIES. (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any Property or any other Collateral. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by Applicable Law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any "one action" or "election of remedies" law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Properties and the other Collateral and each Security Instrument has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full. (b) With respect to Borrower and the Properties, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any Property or Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other Property or Collateral, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Properties or any other Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Security Instruments in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Security Instruments then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower -118- defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Security Instruments to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Security Instruments to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by one or more of the Security Instruments as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Properties shall remain subject to the Security Instruments to secure payment of sums secured by the Security Instruments and not previously recovered. (c) 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 make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender's intent to exercise its rights under such power. 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. SECTION 8.3 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; WAIVERS. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender's rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender's sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one or more Defaults or Events of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. -119- IX. SPECIAL PROVISIONS SECTION 9.1 CONVERSION TO FIXED RATE CMBS LOANS. 9.1.1 Conversion. On or before the Maturity Date, but subject to the Conversion Limitations, Lender may, in one or a series of transactions, convert all or any portion of the outstanding balance of the Loan to one or more Fixed Rate CMBS Loans (each, a "Conversion") subject to the terms and conditions set forth below; provided, however, Lender shall not give notice to Borrower of its intent to consummate a Conversion for a period of sixty (60) days beginning on the date Lender actually receives a Floating Rate Conversion Notice. Upon Lender's exercise of the Conversion and the execution of the Conversion Documents, the portion of the Loan that is the subject of such Conversion shall automatically convert into a Fixed Rate CMBS Loan and the Property secured thereby shall no longer be deemed a Property hereunder. Lender shall not have the right to exercise a Conversion unless and until the conditions in subsection (i), (ii) and (iii) below have been satisfied. (i) Lender shall have given notice (a "Conversion Notice") to Borrower of the date of Conversion (the "Conversion Date"); which notice shall be given to Borrower at least thirty (30) days prior to the Conversion Date unless Lender has waived Borrower's obligation to comply with the provisions of Section 9.1.1(iv)(A), (C) and (D) hereof. (ii) Prior to any Conversion, Lender shall consult with Borrower with respect to the selection of the Property which will be the collateral for such Fixed Rate CMBS Loan (the "Fixed Rate CMBS Collateral"), but in no event shall Lender be bound by any recommendation or request of Borrower pertaining to such Fixed Rate CMBS Collateral and Lender shall select the Fixed Rate CMBS Collateral in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that (A) the Fixed Rate CMBS Collateral shall not be comprised of more than one (1) Property and (B) the original principal balance of the Fixed Rate CMBS Loan shall be equal to the maximum amount in order for the Fixed Rate CMBS Loan to achieve (i) a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.30:1.00 and (ii) a ratio, expressed as a percentage, of (I) the original principal balance of the Fixed Rate CMBS Loan divided by (II) the Property Value of the Fixed Rate CMBS Collateral, of not more than sixty percent (60%) (the "Conversion Parameters").

The Title Insurance Policy issued with respect to the Fixed Rate CMBS Loan shall (1) provide coverage in the amount of the original principal amount of the Fixed Rate CMBS Loan, (2) insure Lender that the relevant mortgage creates a valid first lien on the Fixed Rate CMBS Collateral encumbered thereby, free and clear of all exceptions from coverage other than Permitted Encumbrances and standard exceptions and exclusions from coverage (as modified by the terms of any endorsements), (3) contain such endorsements and affirmative coverages as are then available and are reasonably required by Lender, and (4) name Lender as the insured.

(b) The applicable interest rate for each Fixed Rate CMBS Loan (the "Fixed Rate CMBS Rate") shall be fixed on the Conversion Date and shall be determined by Lender based upon the greater of (i) 5.55% and (ii) the sum of (A) the yield to maturity for the "on-the-run" 10-year U.S. Treasury note; plus (B) the offered side of the 10-year swap rate; plus (C) 160 basis points; plus (D) the Spread Adjustment. -122- (c) No Fixed Rate CMBS Loan shall be cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any additional loan or indebtedness and, the applicable Borrower shall be released by Lender from any and all indebtedness, obligations or other liabilities with respect to the Loan.

BORROWER AND LENDER ARE HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER AND LENDER, AS APPLICABLE. -131- SECTION 10.8 HEADINGS. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose. SECTION 10.9 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 10.10 PREFERENCES. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, 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. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part 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 part 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. SECTION 10.11 WAIVER OF NOTICE. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower. SECTION 10.12 REMEDIES OF BORROWER. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower's sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. -132- SECTION 10.13 EXPENSES; INDEMNITY. (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender within five (5) days of receipt of written notice from Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including without limitation any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Properties); (ii) Borrower's ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower's respective 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, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) Lender's ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iv) 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 Lender; (v) securing Borrower's compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) 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, the Properties, or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Properties or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a "work-out" or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Lockbox Account. (b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan -133- Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under Applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender. (c) Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless Lender and the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all losses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense, and settlement of losses incurred in correcting any prohibited transaction or in the sale of a prohibited loan, and in obtaining any individual prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA, the Code, any State statute or other similar law that may be required, in Lender's sole discretion) that Lender may incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of a default under Sections 4.1.8 or 5.2.8 hereof. (d) Other than in connection with a Securitization, Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, (i) any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating Agency review of the Loan, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or (ii) any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation. SECTION 10.14 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 10.15 OFFSETS, COUNTERCLAIMS AND DEFENSES. Any assignee of Lender's interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to the Loan Documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of the Loan Documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower. SECTION 10.16 NO JOINT VENTURE OR PARTNERSHIP; NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. (a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint -134- tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Properties other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender. (b) 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 and Borrower (or an Affiliate of either of the foregoing acting on behalf of Borrower or Lender, as applicable) 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 10.17 PUBLICITY. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or their Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, JPMorgan Chase, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, disclosure required by any federal or State securities laws, rules or regulations, as determined by Borrower's counsel, shall not be subject to the prior written approval of Lender. SECTION 10.18 CROSS-DEFAULT; CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION; WAIVER OF MARSHALLING OF ASSETS. (a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of its collective interest in the Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each Property taken separately. Borrower agrees that the Security Instruments are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Security Instruments shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Security Instruments which secure the Note; (ii) an Event of Default under the Note or this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under each Security Instrument; (iii) each Security Instrument shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Properties as security for the Note; and (iv) such cross-collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance. (b) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower and of the Properties, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Security Instruments, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws -135- 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 Properties for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Security Instruments, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of the Properties or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Property or any combination of the Properties before proceeding against any other Property or combination of Properties; 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 Properties. SECTION 10.19 WAIVER OF COUNTERCLAIM. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents. SECTION 10.20 CONFLICT; CONSTRUCTION OF DOCUMENTS; RELIANCE. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender's exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates. SECTION 10.21 BROKERS AND FINANCIAL ADVISORS. Borrower and Lender hereby 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 hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising -136- from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt. SECTION 10.22 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, between Borrower and/or its Affiliates and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. SECTION 10.23 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals and each duplicate original shall be deemed to be an original. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed an original instrument and all of which together shall constitute a single Agreement. SECTION 10.24 LIABILITY. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns forever. SECTION 10.25 BORROWER/MAKER. In the event that the Maryland Guaranty is released as security for the Loan, all references herein to "Borrower" shall refer solely to "Maker".
