(a) (i) In the event that Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then Lender shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination, to Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the last day of the related Interest Period, with a written confirmation of such determination promptly thereafter. If such notice is given, the Loan shall bear interest at the Adjusted Prime Rate beginning on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period. (ii) If, pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.2.3(a), 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 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. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay Lender (within ten (10) days of Lender's written demand therefor), any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any reasonable costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the Loan hereunder. Upon written demand from Borrower, Lender shall demonstrate in reasonable detail the circumstances giving rise to -26- 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. (c) In the event that any change in any requirement of any Applicable Law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance in good faith by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any Governmental Authority, in each such case, which is generally applicable to all Lenders subject to such Governmental Authority's jurisdiction: (i) shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any U.S. office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder; (ii) shall, if the Loan is then bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; or (iii) shall, if the Loan is then bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, hereafter impose on Lender any other condition, the result of which is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender (within ten (10) days of Lender's written demand therefor), any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(c), 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 -27- 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. 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 Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all interest that would accrue on the outstanding 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 Payments after Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan, shall accrue at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the default until the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due). To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default. 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 Pledge Agreement 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 -28- 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 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 -29- 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. In such event, Borrower shall promptly provide to such entity evidence of payment of such Foreign Taxes to the appropriate taxing authority and shall promptly forward to such entity any official tax receipts or other documentation with respect to the payment of the Foreign Taxes as may be issued by the taxing authority. 2.2.9 Extension of Mortgage Loan. Upon Lender's written request to Borrower ("Mortgage Loan Extension Request"), Borrower shall be required to take all steps necessary to cause Mortgage Borrower to extend the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Agreement. If Lender shall have given the Mortgage Loan Extension Request, not later than ten (10) days before the latest date that Mortgage Borrower may effectively give the notice of its exercise of the Mortgage Loan Extension Option under the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to notify Mortgage Lender ("Mortgage Loan Extension Notice") that Mortgage Borrower has elected to exercise the Mortgage Loan Extension Option (with a simultaneous copy to Lender) and Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to take all other steps (and make all other payments) necessary in order to exercise the Mortgage Loan Extension Option. If Lender shall have given the Mortgage Loan Extension Request, the failure of Borrower to cause Mortgage Borrower to give the Mortgage Loan Extension Notice and take all other steps necessary to exercise the Mortgage Loan Extension Option Loan in accordance with this Section and the Mortgage Loan Documents shall be an automatic Event of Default (with no notice, cure or grace period). If Borrower fails to give the Mortgage Loan Extension Notice within such time, Borrower hereby authorizes Lender, and grants Lender an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, to give such Mortgage Loan Extension Notice on behalf of and in the name of Mortgage Borrower, and take all other steps as may be necessary to exercise the Mortgage Loan Extension Option. -30- SECTION 2.3 Prepayments. 2.3.1 Voluntary Prepayments. Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part prior to the Payment Date occurring in November, 2003 (the "Lockout Period"). On any Payment Date occurring after the expiration of the Lockout Period, Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Loan in whole, but not in part, upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (a) Borrower shall provide prior written notice to Lender specifying the date (the "Prepayment Date") upon which the prepayment is to be made, which notice shall be delivered to Lender not less than thirty (30) Business Days prior to such payment; (b) Borrower shall pay to Lender, simultaneously with such prepayment, (i) if such prepayment occurs prior to the Payment Date occurring in May, 2004 (the "Open Date"), a prepayment premium equal to one percent (1%) of the original principal amount of the Loan, (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest calculated at the Applicable Interest Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through and including the Prepayment Date together with an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued at the Applicable Interest Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through the end of the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs, notwithstanding that such Interest Period extends beyond the date of prepayment, (the "Interest Shortfall"), (iii) Breakage Costs, if any, without duplication of any sums paid pursuant to the preceding clause (ii); and (iv) all other sums then due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents; (c) Mortgage Borrower simultaneously prepays the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of Mortgage Loan Agreement; and (d) Junior Mezzanine Borrower simultaneously prepays the Junior Mezzanine Loan in accordance with the provisions of the Junior Mezzanine Loan Agreement. This Section 2.3.1 shall not apply to prepayments made in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.5 hereof. 2.3.2 Liquidation Events. (a) In the event of (i) any Casualty to all or any portion of any Individual Property, (ii) any Condemnation of all or any portion of any Individual Property, (iii) a Transfer of any Individual Property in connection with realization thereon by the Mortgage Lender following an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, including without limitation a foreclosure sale, or (iv) any refinancing of any Individual Property or the Mortgage Loan (each, a "Liquidation Event"), Borrower shall cause the related Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service to be deposited directly into an account designated by Lender. On each date on which Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service, if such date is a Payment Date, such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service shall be applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Note in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service, together with interest that would have accrued on such -31- amount through the next Payment Date and all other sums then due. In the event Lender receives a distribution of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service on a date other than a Payment Date, such amounts shall be held by Lender as collateral security for the Loan in an interest bearing account, with such interest accruing to the benefit of Borrower, and shall be applied by Lender on the next Payment Date. (b) Borrower shall immediately notify Lender of any Liquidation Event once Borrower has knowledge of such event. Borrower shall be deemed to have knowledge of (i) a sale (other than a foreclosure sale) of any Individual Property on the date on which a contract of sale for such sale is entered into, and a foreclosure sale, on the date notice of such foreclosure sale is given, and (ii) a refinancing of any Individual Property, on the date on which a commitment for such refinancing is entered into. The provisions of this Section 2.3.2 shall not be construed to contravene in any manner the restrictions and other provisions regarding refinancing of the Mortgage Loan or Transfer of the Property or the Collateral set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 2.3.3 Prepayments After Default. If, following an uncured Event of Default, Borrower tenders payment of all or any part of the Debt, or if all or any portion of the Debt is recovered by Lender after such Event of Default such tender or recovery shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment of the Loan prior to the expiration of the Lockout Period and Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt, (i) all accrued and unpaid interest calculated at the Applicable Interest Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through and including the Prepayment Date together with an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued at the Applicable Interest Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through the end of the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs, notwithstanding that such Interest Period extends beyond the date of prepayment, (ii) if such prepayment occurs prior to the expiration of the Open Period, a prepayment consideration equal to five percent (5%) of the amount being prepaid, (iii) the Interest Shortfall, if applicable, with respect to the amount prepaid, (iv) Breakage Costs, if any, without duplication of any sums paid pursuant to the preceding clause (iii); and (v) all other sums due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents in connection with a partial or total prepayment. 2.3.4 Making of Payments. Each payment by Borrower hereunder or under the Note shall be made in funds settled through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System or other funds immediately available to Lender by 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on or prior to the date such payment is due, to Lender by deposit to such account as Lender may designate by written notice to Borrower. Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day succeeding such scheduled due date. -32- 2.3.5 Application of Prepayments. All prepayments received pursuant to this Section 2.3 and Section 2.5 shall be applied first, to interest on the outstanding principal balance being prepaid that accrued through and including the Prepayment Date, second, to interest on the outstanding principal balance being prepaid that would have accrued through the end of the Interest Period in which the prepayment occurred, notwithstanding that such Interest Period extends beyond the date of prepayment, and third, to the payments of principal due under the Loan in the inverse order of maturity. SECTION 2.4 Interest Rate Cap Agreement. (a) Borrower shall obtain, or cause to be obtained, and shall thereafter maintain in effect, an Interest Rate Cap Agreement with an Acceptable Counterparty, which shall be coterminous with the Loan, as the same may be extended in accordance with the terms hereof and have a notional amount which shall not at any time be less than the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and which shall at all times have a strike rate equal to the Strike Rate. The Counterparty shall be obligated under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to make monthly payments equal to the excess of one (1) month LIBOR over the Strike Rate, calculated on the notional amount. The notional amount of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement may be reduced from time to time in amounts equal to any payment of the principal of the Loan in accordance with the terms hereof. (b) Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender pursuant to an Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A, all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (and any related guarantee, if any) and shall deliver to Lender an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement and notify the Counterparty of such collateral assignment (either in such Interest Rate Cap Agreement or by separate instrument). The Counterparty shall agree in writing to make all payments it is required to make under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement directly to an Account specified by Lender. At such time as the Loan is repaid in full, all of Lender's right, title and interest in the Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall terminate and Lender shall promptly execute and deliver at Borrower's sole cost and expense, such documents as may be required to evidence Lender's release of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and to notify the Counterparty of such release. (c) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be deposited immediately into the Lockbox Account or if the Lockbox Account is not then required to be in effect, into such Account as specified by Lender. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Borrower's and Lender's rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder. (d) In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Counterparty below "AA-" (or the equivalent) by the Rating Agencies, Borrower shall replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement with an -33- Acceptable Counterparty not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice from Lender or Servicer of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification. (e) In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any Replacement Interest Cap Agreement as and when required hereunder, Lender may purchase such Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Lender in purchasing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such cost is paid by Borrower to Lender. (f) In connection with an Interest Rate Cap Agreement, if requested by Mortgage Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Lender an opinion of counsel from counsel for the Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, that: (1) the Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement; (2) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent Organizational Documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property; (3) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Counterparty of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and (4) the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Counterparty, enforceable against the Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law). -34- SECTION 2.5 Release of Property. 2.5.1 Release of Individual Property. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, after the expiration of the Lockout Period, Borrower may cause Mortgage Borrower to obtain a release from the Lien of a Security Instrument pursuant to Section 2.5.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement: (a) Borrower shall provide Lender with at least thirty (30) days but no more than ninety (90) days prior written notice of its request to obtain a release of such Security Instrument; (b) Borrower shall have delivered evidence satisfactory to Lender that (i)(A) Mortgage Borrower complied with all of the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.5.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement with respect to a release of the Security Instrument thereunder and Mortgage Lender has delivered (or is simultaneously delivering) such release to Mortgage Borrower and (ii) Junior Mezzanine Borrower complied with all of the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.5.1 of the Junior Mezzanine Loan Agreement with respect to a release (if any) of the security interest corresponding to the release requested pursuant to this Section 2.5.1 and (B) Junior Mezzanine Lender has granted such release to Junior Mezzanine Borrower; (c) Lender shall have received a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds in an amount equal to the Release Price for the applicable Individual Property, together with (i) all accrued and unpaid interest calculated at the Applicable Interest Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through and including the Prepayment Date, (ii) if such release occurs on or prior to the Open Date, a prepayment premium equal to one percent (1%) of the applicable Release Price, (iii) the Interest Shortfall, if applicable, with respect to the amount prepaid, (iv) Breakage Costs, if any, without duplication of any sums paid pursuant to the preceding clause (iii); and (v) all other sums due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents in connection with a partial prepayment; (d) Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release by Mortgage Borrower, together with an Officer's Certificate certifying that the release will not impair or otherwise adversely affect the Liens, security interests and other rights of Lender under the Loan Documents not being released (or as to the parties to the Loan Documents and Collateral); (e) After giving effect to such release, Lender shall have determined that the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Properties then remaining subject to the Lien of a Security Instrument (not including the Individual Property to be released) (but for the purpose of this calculation only, assuming a Release Price equal to the Allocated Loan Amount) shall be at least equal to the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for all of the Properties (including the Individual Property to be released) for the twelve (12) full calendar months immediately preceding the release of the Individual Property; and (f) Lender shall have received payment of all Lender's reasonable costs and expenses, including due diligence review costs and reasonable counsel fees and disbursements -35- incurred in connection with the review and approval of the documents and information required to be delivered in connection with this Section 2.5.1. 2.5.2 Release on Payment in Full. Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of all principal and interest due on the Loan and all other amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note and this Agreement, release the Lien of the Pledge Agreement or the Collateral not theretofore released. SECTION 2.6 Substitution of Properties.

(d) Mortgage Borrower shall own the Substitute Property. (e) Lender shall have received a certificate of Borrower certifying, together with other evidence satisfactory to Lender that, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the substitution with respect to the Substitute Property is at least equal to the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the twelve (12) full calendar months immediately preceding the date of the proposed substitution with respect to the Release Property, which Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall be based upon the Allocated Loan Amounts of the Substitute Property and the Release Property.

If such Affiliate Agreement is not terminated in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, Lender shall have the right, and Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender and irrevocably appoints Lender as Borrower's attorney-in-fact coupled with an interest, at Lender's sole option, to terminate such Affiliate Agreement on behalf of and in -72- the name of the applicable Loan Party, and Borrower hereby releases and waives any claims against Lender arising out of Lender's exercise of such authority. 5.2.10 Transfers.

(e) On the first Payment Date of each Fiscal Year, Borrower shall pay to Lender the sum of $1,500.00 to compensate Lender for administrative costs associated with Lender's review of Borrower's required insurance.

SECTION 6.5 Rights of Lender.

If the Mortgage Lender does not require the deposit by the Mortgage Borrower of the "Net Proceeds Deficiency" pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vi) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Lender shall have the right to demand that Borrower make a deposit of said "Net Proceeds Deficiency" in accordance with the terms of such Section (as if each reference therein to "Borrower" and "Lender" referred to Borrower and Lender, respectively). -78- VII. RESERVE FUNDS SECTION 7.1 Required Repairs. Borrower shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to, perform the Required Repairs in accordance with all of the terms and conditions set forth in Section 7.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. SECTION 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. (a) 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 Mortgage Borrower covering the Properties shall not constitute an approved blanket or umbrella Policy pursuant to Section 6.1(c) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, or Lender shall require Borrower to cause Mortgage Borrower to obtain a separate Policy pursuant to Section 6.1(c) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, 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 -79- thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be. Any Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums paid by Lender from the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall be deemed to be a capital contribution from Borrower to Mortgage Borrower. (b) Borrower shall be relieved of its obligation under Section 7.2(a) above provided that Mortgage Borrower is required to and does make monthly deposits to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund under the Mortgage Loan and Lender receives evidence acceptable to Lender of the making of such deposits and the payment of such Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges. SECTION 7.3 Replacements and Replacement Reserve. 7.3.1 Replacement Reserve Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date, the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit for Capital Expenditures required to be made to the 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 an Individual 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 Individual 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. -80- (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 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 Individual 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. (f) If the Replacement Reserve Funds are disbursed to the Borrower, then Borrower shall make a capital contribution to Mortgage Borrower in an amount equal to such Replacement Reserve Funds disbursed to Borrower as and when such disbursements are made pursuant to this Section 7.3.2 and Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to pay for the related Replacement. 7.3.3 Performance of Replacements. (a) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to make Replacements when required in order to keep each Individual 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 Individual Property is located, and to keep each Individual Property or any portion thereof from deteriorating. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to 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) If the Mortgage Loan is paid in full and the Loan remains outstanding, then, 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 -81- 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, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to grant Lender the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to enter onto any Individual Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make the Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect such Individual 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 the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Pledge Agreement. For this purpose, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to constitute and appoint Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the Replacements in the name of Mortgage Borrower. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to empower 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 Individual 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 Mortgage Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with any Individual Property or the rehabilitation and repair of any Individual 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 cause Mortgage Borrower to 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 Individual 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 Individual Property, and to complete any Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender's representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.3.3(f) or the completion of Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3. -82- (g) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may require an inspection of an Individual Property at Borrower's expense prior to making a monthly disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account, with respect to each Individual 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 or cause Mortgage Borrower to pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional. (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 Individual Property, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the applicable Individual 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 Individual Property since the date of recordation of the related Security Instrument and that title to such Individual 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 Individual Property and applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters. (k) If the Mortgage Loan is paid in full and the Loan remains outstanding, in addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall 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.

(b) If Ground Lease Escrow Funds are disbursed to Borrower, then Borrower shall make a capital contribution to Mortgage Borrower in an amount equal to such Ground Lease Escrow Funds disbursed to Borrower as and when such disbursements are made pursuant to this Section 7.4 and Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to pay the related Ground Rent.

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 the 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 all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in -90- full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Collateral and the Collateral 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 Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Collateral or any other Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt.

Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreement to secure payment of sums secured by the Pledge Agreement 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, pledges 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. (d) Any amounts recovered from the Collateral after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine. SECTION 8.3 Right to Cure Defaults. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and -91- without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder, make any payment or do any act required of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property for such purposes, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys' fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 8.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after notice from Lender that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor. (b) Lender shall have the right, but shall not have the obligation, to exercise Borrower's rights under the Organizational Documents of Mortgage Borrower (a) to cure a Mortgage Loan Event of Default and (b) to satisfy any Liens, claims or judgments against the Properties (except for Liens permitted by the Mortgage Loan Documents), in the case of either (a) or (b), unless Borrower or Mortgage Borrower shall be diligently pursuing remedies to cure to Lender's sole satisfaction. Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for any and all costs incurred by Lender in connection with curing any such Mortgage Loan Event of Default or satisfying any Liens, claims or judgments against any Individual Property. SECTION 8.4 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. SECTION 8.5 Power of Attorney. For the purpose of carrying out the provisions and exercising the rights, powers and privileges granted in this Section 8, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and do and perform any acts such as are referred to in this subsection in the name and on behalf of Borrower. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. -92- IX. SPECIAL PROVISIONS SECTION 9.1 Sale of Notes and Lender Transactions.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.4 to the contrary, Borrower shall be personally liable to Lender for the Losses Lender incurs to the extent due to: (i) fraud or material misrepresentation in connection with the execution and the delivery of this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any Mortgage Loan Document; (ii) Borrower's or Pledgor's or Operating Lessee's or Mortgage Borrower's misapplication or misappropriation of Rents received by Borrower, Pledgor, Operating Lessee or Mortgage Borrower after the occurrence of an Event of Default; (iii) Borrower's, Pledgor's, Operating Lessee's or Mortgage Borrower's misapplication or misappropriation of Security Deposits or Rents collected more than thirty (30) days in advance; (iv) Borrower's, Pledgor's, Operating Lessee's or Mortgage Borrower's misapplication or the misappropriation of Insurance Proceeds or Awards; (v) Borrower's, Pledgor's, Operating Lessee's or Mortgage Borrower's misapplication or the misappropriation of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service or any distributions or other payments made in respect of any part of the Property or any part of the Collateral; (vi) Borrower's making a distribution to its equity owners after the occurrence of an Event of Default; (vii) Mortgage Borrower's failure to pay Taxes, Other Charges (except to the extent that sums sufficient to pay such amounts have been deposited in escrow with Mortgage Lender pursuant to the terms of Section 7.2 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement), charges for labor or materials or other charges that can create Liens on the Properties; (viii) Borrower's or Pledgor's failure to return or to reimburse Lender for all Personal Property taken from any Properties by or on behalf of Mortgage Borrower or Operating Lessee and not replaced with Personal Property of comparable utility and value; (ix) any act of intentional waste or arson to the Collateral by Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Operating Lessee SPE Entities, the Pledgor SPE Entities or Principal or any Affiliate or thereof or by any Indemnitor or Guarantor; (x) any fees or commissions paid by Borrower to Principal, Mortgage Borrower, the Pledgor SPE Entities, the Operating Lessee SPE Entities or any Affiliate of Borrower, Principal, the Pledgor SPE Entities, the Operating Lessee SPE Entities, Indemnitor, or Guarantor in violation of the terms of this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (xi) Borrower's failure to comply with the provisions of Sections 4.1.40 and 5.1.19 of this Agreement. (xii) any Loss resulting from a Casualty due to Borrower's or Mortgage Borrower's failure to obtain the insurance required pursuant to Section 6.1; (xiii) Borrower's default under Section 5.1.10 hereof (after ten (10) Business Days prior -95- written notice to Borrower); (xiv) if any Ground Lease is modified or terminated by Mortgage Borrower or any Affiliate thereof other than in accordance with the terms hereof and (xv) all amounts contemplated under Section 5.1.12 hereof and any real estate or other transfer tax incurred to transfer title to the Collateral following the occurrence of an Event of Default, including, without limitation, any transfer tax or similar tax incurred by Lender in the exercise of the option to purchase the fee estate contained in a Ground Lease, (xvi) any Loss resulting from the Jacksonville Property's failure to comply with applicable zoning ordinances relating to density or number of hotel rooms and (xvii) any Loss paid to Hilton Inns, Inc. or any Affiliate thereof (including, without limitation, any termination or similar fees by, or on behalf of, Operating Lessee) resulting from a termination of the franchise license agreement(s) relating to the Hilton Franchised Properties. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the agreement of Lender not to pursue recourse liability as set forth in Subsection (a) above SHALL BECOME NULL AND VOID and shall be of no further force and effect and the obligation to repay the Debt shall become a personal recourse obligation of Borrower (i) in the event of Borrower's or Principal's default under Section 4.1.36 hereof or Pledgor's default under Section 12 of the Operating Lease Subordination Agreement (such that such failure was considered by a court as a factor in the court's finding for a consolidation of the assets of Borrower, Principal and/or Pledgor with the assets of another Person) or any Transfer in violation of the provisions of Section 5.2.10 hereof, (ii) if any Individual Property, the Collateral, or any part thereof shall become an asset, or if Borrower, Principal, Ground Lessor, an Operating Lessee SPE Entity, a Pledgor SPE Entity, Mortgage Borrower, Mortgage Principal, Junior Mezzanine Borrower or Junior Mezzanine Principal shall be a debtor, in (A) a voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or (B) an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding commenced by any Person (other than Lender, Mortgage Lender or Junior Mezzanine Lender) and, with respect to such involuntary proceeding, Borrower consents or fails to object to such proceedings) or if Borrower, Principal, Ground Lessor, an Operating Lessee SPE Entity, a Pledgor SPE Entity, Mortgage Borrower, Mortgage Principal, Junior Mezzanine Borrower, Junior Mezzanine Principal or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing has acted in concert with, colluded or conspired with the party to cause the filing of such involuntary proceeding, (iii) the event that fee title to any applicable Individual Property is not promptly transferred by Ground Lessor to Mortgage Borrower in accordance with the terms of the option to purchase such fee title contained in each Ground Lease or (iv) an Event of Default contemplated by Section 8.1(xi)(b), 8.1(xi)(c) or 8.1(xxiv)(b) hereof has occurred (unless caused by, or at the request of, Lender, Mortgage Lender of Junior Mezzanine Lender); provided, however, with respect to this Section 9.4(c)(iii) and (iv) only, Borrower shall only be liable on a recourse basis for the Allocated Loan Amounts (plus interest thereon and costs and expenses relating thereto) of the Individual Properties that were the cause of such Event of Default. (d) Nothing herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code against Borrower and Principal to file a claim for the full amount of the indebtedness secured by the Pledge Agreement or to require that all Collateral shall continue to secure all of the indebtedness owing to Lender in accordance with this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents. -96- SECTION 9.5 Mortgage Loan Defaults. (a) Without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, if there shall occur any Default under the Mortgage Loan Documents or if Mortgage Lender asserts in writing that Mortgage Borrower has defaulted in the performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition of the Mortgage Loan Documents (whether or not the same shall have continued beyond any applicable notice or grace periods, whether or not Mortgage Lender shall have delivered proper notice to Mortgage Borrower, and without regard to any other defenses or offset rights Mortgage Borrower may have against Mortgage Lender), Borrower hereby expressly agrees that Lender shall have the immediate right, without notice to or demand on Borrower or Mortgage Borrower, but shall be under no obligation: (i) to pay all or any part of the Mortgage Loan, and any other sums, that are then due and payable and to perform any act or take any action on behalf of Mortgage Borrower, as may be appropriate, to cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Documents on the part of Mortgage Borrower to be performed or observed thereunder to be promptly performed or observed; and (ii) to pay any other amounts and take any other action as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall deem advisable to protect or preserve the rights and interests of Lender in the Loan and/or the Collateral. Lender shall have no obligation to complete any cure or attempted cure undertaken or commenced by Lender. All sums so paid and the costs and expenses incurred by Lender in exercising rights under this Section (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and other professional fees), with interest at the Default Rate, for the period from the date of demand by Lender to Borrower for such payments to the date of payment to Lender, shall constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and shall be due and payable to Lender within two (2) Business Days following demand therefor. In the event that Lender makes any payment in respect of the Mortgage Loan, Lender shall be subrogated to all of the rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents against the Property and Mortgage Borrower in addition to all other rights Lender may have under the Loan Documents or applicable law. (b) Subject to the rights of tenants, Borrower hereby grants, and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to grant, Lender and any Person designated by Lender the right to enter upon the Property at any time for the purpose of carrying out the rights granted to Lender under this Section 9.5. Borrower shall not, and shall not cause or permit Mortgage Borrower or any other Person to impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, any effort or action on the part of Lender to cure any default or asserted default under the Mortgage Loan, or to otherwise protect or preserve Lender's interests in the Loan and the Collateral, including the Property in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. (c) Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all out-of-pocket liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and other professional fees, whether or not suit is brought, and settlement costs), and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Lender as a result of the foregoing actions described in Section 9.10(a). Lender shall have no obligation to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or any other party to make any such payment or performance. -97- (d) If Lender shall receive a copy of any notice of default under the Mortgage Loan Documents sent by Mortgage Lender to Mortgage Borrower, 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. As a material inducement to Lender's making the Loan, Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally release and waive all claims against Lender arising out of Lender's exercise of its rights and remedies provided in this Section other than claims arising out of the fraud, illegal acts, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. (e) Any Default under the Mortgage Loan which is cured by Lender, whether or not such cure is prior to the expiration of any applicable grace, notice or cure period under the Mortgage Loan Documents, shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under this Agreement without any notice, grace or cure period otherwise applicable under this Agreement. SECTION 9.6 Intercreditor Agreement. (a) Lender and Mortgage Lender are parties to a certain intercreditor agreement dated as of the date hereof (the "Intercreditor Agreement") memorializing their relative rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the Loan, Mortgage Borrower, Borrower and the Properties. Borrower and Mortgage Borrower hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) such Intercreditor Agreement is intended solely for the benefit of Lender and Mortgage Lender and (ii) Borrower and Mortgagor are not intended third-party beneficiaries of any of the provisions therein and shall not be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein. Lender and Mortgage Lender have not disclosed and shall have no obligation to disclose to Borrower the contents of the Intercreditor Agreement. Borrower's obligations hereunder are independent of such Intercreditor Agreement and remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof. (b) In the event Lender is required pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement to pay over any payment or distribution of assets, whether in cash, property or securities which is applied to the Debt, including, without limitation, any proceeds of the Properties previously received by Lender on account of the Loan to the Mortgage Lender, then Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender for any amounts so paid, and any amount so paid shall continue to be owing pursuant to the Loan Documents as part of the Debt notwithstanding the prior receipt of such payment by Lender. SECTION 9.7 Discussions with Mortgage Lender. In connection with the exercise of its rights set forth in the Loan Documents, Lender shall have the right at any time to discuss the Properties, the Mortgage Loan, the Loan or any other matter directly with Mortgage Lender or Mortgage Lender's consultants, agents or representatives without notice to or permission from Borrower or any other Loan Party, nor shall Lender have any obligation to disclose such discussions or the contents thereof with Borrower or any other Loan Party. SECTION 9.8 Independent Approval Rights. If any action, proposed action or other decision is consented to or approved by Mortgage Lender, such consent or approval shall not be binding or controlling on Lender. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the risks of Mortgage Lender in making the Mortgage -98- Loan are different from the risks of Lender in making the Loan, (ii) in determining whether to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval Mortgage Lender and Lender may reasonably reach different conclusions, and (iii) Lender has an absolute independent right to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval based on its own point of view. Further, the denial by Lender of a requested consent or approval shall not create any liability or other obligation of Lender if the denial of such consent or approval results directly or indirectly in a default under the Mortgage Loan, and Borrower hereby waives any claim of liability against Lender arising from any such denial. SECTION 9.9 Reinstatement. This Agreement and each other Loan Document shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Debt or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by Borrower, whether as a "voidable preference," "fraudulent conveyance," or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Debt shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. X. MISCELLANEOUS SECTION 10.1 Survival. This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as all or any of the Debt is outstanding and unpaid unless a longer period is expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the legal representatives, successors and assigns of such party. All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf of Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender, and all covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf of Lender, shall be binding upon the legal representatives successors and assigns of Lender. SECTION 10.2 Lender's Discretion. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement, Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion of Lender and shall be final and conclusive.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. SECTION 10.5 Delay Not a Waiver. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender or Borrower 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 any other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor -100- 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 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 -102- 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. 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 -103- 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, UCC 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 Collateral, 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 Collateral 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, at Lender's option, be payable to Lender's designee. (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 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 4.1.9 or 5.2.8 hereof. 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. -104- 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 and Lender does not have any fiduciary relationship to Borrower. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and 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, 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 Collateral and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Collateral being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of any portion of the Collateral taken separately. Borrower agrees that the Pledge Agreements are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Pledge Agreements shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Pledge -105- Agreements which secure the Note; (ii) an Event of Default under the Note or this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under each Pledge Agreement; (iii) each Pledge Agreement 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, Junior Mezzanine Borrower, and of the Collateral, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Pledge Agreement, 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 Collateral 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 the Pledge Agreement, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of the Collateral or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any portion of the Collateral before proceeding against any other portion of the 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 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.
