Any excess proceeds may be used for any lawful purpose. Borrowers shall receive only one borrowing hereunder in respect of the Loan and no amount repaid in respect of the Loan may be reborrowed. The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note and shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents.

2.2 Interest; Monthly Payments.

2.2.1 Generally. From and after the date hereof, interest on the outstanding Principal shall accrue at the Interest Rate and be payable as hereinafter provided. On the date hereof, Borrowers shall pay interest on the Principal from the date hereof through and including March 31, 2024. On May 1, 2024 and each Payment Date thereafter for the remainder of the Term, the Principal and interest thereon at the Interest Rate shall be payable in equal monthly installments of $759,109.05 (the “Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount”); which amount is based on the Interest Rate and a thirty (30)-year amortization schedule. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount due on any Payment Date shall first be applied to the payment of interest accrued during the preceding Interest Period and the remainder of such Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount shall be applied to the reduction of the Principal. All accrued and unpaid interest and Principal shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. All monthly payments required hereunder shall be paid by pre-authorized ACH debit from a bank account established and maintained by Borrowers specifically for such purpose.

2.2.2 Default Rate. During the continuance of an Event of Default, the entire unpaid Debt shall bear interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due or such underlying Default shall have occurred without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein, and shall be payable upon demand from time to time, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

2.2.3 Taxes. Any and all payments by Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on Lender’s income, and franchise taxes imposed on Lender by the law or regulation of any Governmental Authority (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to in this Section 2.2.3 as “Applicable Taxes”). If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Applicable Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, the following shall apply: (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.2.3), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

Payments pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 shall be made within ten (10) days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor.

2.3 Loan Repayment.

2.3.1 Repayment. Borrowers shall repay the entire outstanding principal balance of the Note in full on the Maturity Date, together with interest thereon to (but excluding) the date of repayment and any other amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents. Borrowers shall have no right to prepay or defease all or any portion of the Principal except in accordance with Sections 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 hereof.

If prior to the Stated Maturity Date the Debt is accelerated by reason of an Event of Default, operation of law or otherwise, then Lender shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the Principal and accrued interest and other sums due under the Loan Documents, an amount equal to the Prepayment Premium applicable to such Principal so accelerated. During the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of repayment, including any payment or recovery on one or more of the Properties (or any portion thereof) (whether through foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise) shall, unless otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, be applied in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect in Lender’s discretion.

Provided that no Event of Default is continuing, any such mandatory prepayment under this Section 2.3.2 shall be without the payment of the Prepayment Premium. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment shall be applied in inverse order of maturity and shall not extend or postpone the due dates of the monthly installments due under the Note or this Agreement, or change the amounts of such installments.

2.3.3 Voluntary Prepayments. Provided no Event of Default shall be continuing, Borrowers shall have the right to voluntarily prepay the Loan in whole (but not in part) provided that (i) if such prepayment or repayment is made on or prior to the Permitted Prepayment Date, such payment is accompanied by the Prepayment Premium applicable thereto, (ii) the prepayment is received by Lender on a Business Day and (iii) Borrowers gives Lender at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof.

shall not be entitled to any deduction of interest due under this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents). All such payments shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction, set-off or counterclaim whatsoever and are payable without relief from valuation and appraisement laws and with all costs and charges incurred in the collection or enforcement thereof, including attorneys’ fees and court costs.

2.5.2 Computations. Interest payable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 30-day month over a 360-day year.

2.5.3 Late Payment Charge. If any Principal, interest or other sum due under any Loan Document is not paid by Borrowers on the date on which it is due (other than the outstanding Principal due on the stated Maturity Date), Borrowers 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 (the “Late Payment Charge”), 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. Such amount shall be secured by the Loan Documents. The acceptance of a Late Payment Charge hereunder shall not constitute a waiver by Lender of any Default or Event of Default then existing pursuant to the Loan Documents. Lender’s failure to collect a Late Payment Charge at any time shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right thereafter, at any time and from time to time (including upon acceleration of the Note or upon payment in full of the Loan), to collect such previously uncollected Late Payment Charge or to collect subsequently accruing Late Payment Charges.

3. CASH MANAGEMENT/RESERVES.

3.1 Cash Management Arrangements.

(a) Borrowers shall at all times cause all Rents (including Rents in the nature of sums payable by issuers of credit cards accepted at the Properties to be transmitted directly into an Eligible Account (the “Clearing Account”) established and maintained by Borrowers at a local bank selected by Borrowers and reasonably approved by Lender, which shall at all times be an Eligible Institution (the “Clearing Bank”) as more fully described in the Clearing Account Agreement. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, if any Borrower or Manager receives any Rents, then (i) such amounts shall be deemed to be collateral for the Loan and shall be held in trust for the benefit, and as the property, of Lender, (ii) such amounts shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrowers or Manager, and (iii) Borrowers or Manager shall deposit such amounts into the Clearing Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt. Funds deposited into the Clearing Account shall be swept by the Clearing Bank on a daily basis into Borrowers’ operating account at the Clearing Bank, unless a Cash Management Period is continuing, in which event such funds shall be swept on a daily basis into an Eligible Account at the Cash Management Bank controlled by Lender (the “Cash Management Account”) and applied and disbursed in accordance with this Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement (provided that, if the Cash Management Account is not open on the date that the first Cash Management Period commences, then such funds shall, at the election of Lender, be swept by the Clearing Bank into an account as directed by Lender or retained in the Clearing Account, in either case, until such time that the Cash Management Account is opened). Lender will also establish subaccounts of the Cash Management Account, and/or, if applicable, the Servicer’s account, which shall at all times be Eligible Accounts

(and may be ledger or book entry accounts and not actual accounts) (such subaccounts are referred to herein as “Subaccounts”). The Cash Management Account and any Subaccounts will be under the sole control and dominion of Lender, and no Borrower shall have any right of withdrawal therefrom. Borrowers shall pay for all expenses of opening and maintaining all of the above accounts.

(b) Within one (1) Business Day after the Closing Date, Borrowers or Manager shall deliver a notice in the form of Schedule 11 attached hereto to each existing Tenant at the Properties (the “Tenant Direction Letter”), directing such Tenants to remit their rent checks directly to the Clearing Account in accordance with such Tenant Direction Letter, and shall also deliver a Tenant Direction Letter to each future Tenant at the Properties.

(c) Promptly following the opening of the Cash Management Account, Borrowers shall, at its sole cost and expense, deliver to Lender a customary legal opinion with respect to the perfection of Lender’s security interest in the Cash Management Account in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender.

3.2 Property Cash Flow Allocation.

(a) During the continuance of a Cash Management Period, all amounts deposited into the Cash Management Account during the immediately preceding Interest Period shall be applied on each Payment Date as follows in the following order of priority:

(i) First, to make payments into the Insurance Subaccount if and as required under Section 3.3 hereof;

(ii) Second, to pay the monthly portion of the fees charged by the Cash Management Bank;

(iii) Third, to Lender to pay the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount due on such Payment Date (plus, if applicable, interest at the Default Rate and all other amounts, other than those described under other clauses of this Section 3.2(a), then due to Lender under the Loan Documents);

(iv) Fourth, funds in an amount equal to the Monthly Operating Expense Budgeted Amount (including, without limitation, an amount for the payment of management fees to Manager in an amount not to exceed the Management Fee Cap) and any then-current Approved Additional Operating Expenses shall be disbursed to Borrowers (or to an account designated by Borrowers); and

(v) Lastly, all amounts remaining after payment of the amounts set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above (the “Available Cash”) on such Payment Date shall be deposited into the Cash Collateral Subaccount in accordance with Section 3.5 hereof.

(b) The failure of Borrowers to make all of the payments required under clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 3.2(a) above in full on each Payment Date shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement; provided, however, if adequate funds are available in the Cash

Management Account for such payments, the failure by the Cash Management Bank to allocate such funds into the appropriate Subaccounts shall not constitute an Event of Default.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.2 or elsewhere in the Loan Documents, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply all Rents deposited into the Cash Management Account and other proceeds of repayment in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply any of the foregoing funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under the Loan Documents.

3.3 Insurance Reserve.

(a) Generally. Subject to the provisions of subsection (c) below, Borrowers shall deposit with Lender, (i) $0 on the date hereof on account of Insurance Premiums, and (ii) on each Payment Date, one-twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable (initially $0 per month) 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. Such amounts will be transferred by Lender to a Subaccount (the “Insurance Subaccount”).

(b) Disbursements. Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender will (a) apply funds in the Insurance Subaccount to payments of Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrowers pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, provided that Borrowers have promptly supplied Lender with notices of all Insurance Premiums due, or (b) reimburse Borrowers for such amounts upon presentation of evidence of payment. In making any payment relating to Insurance Premiums, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate insurer or agent, without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate. If Lender determines in its reasonable judgment that the funds in the Insurance Subaccount will be insufficient to pay (or in excess of) the Insurance Premiums next coming due, Lender may increase (or decrease) the monthly contribution required to be made by Borrowers to the Insurance Subaccount.

(c) Acceptable Blanket Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 3.3(a)(ii), for so long as an Acceptable Blanket Policy is in effect with respect to the Policies required pursuant to Section 7.1.2, Borrowers shall not be required to make monthly deposits on account of Insurance Premiums into the Insurance Subaccount; provided, however, Borrowers’ obligations to make the payments required under Section 3.3(a)(ii) hereof shall immediately resume and shall continue until the end of the Term if any of the following occur: (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (2) Borrowers fail to furnish to Lender receipts for the payment of all Insurance Premiums (in each case, promptly following the applicable due dates) or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender, (3) Borrowers fail to furnish to Lender evidence of the renewal of any expiring Policy promptly following the expiration thereof, or (4) such Acceptable Blanket Policy is no longer in effect with respect to the Policies required pursuant to Section 7.1.2 hereof.

3.4 Required Repairs Reserve.

(a) Generally. Borrowers shall deposit with Lender on the date hereof the aggregate amount set forth on Schedule 4 hereto and Lender shall cause such amount to be transferred to a Subaccount (the “Required Repairs Subaccount”). Borrowers shall perform and complete (or shall cause the applicable tenants to perform and complete) each item of the repairs at the Property described on Schedule 4 hereto (the “Required Repairs”) by no later than June 13, 2024; provided, however, if Borrowers are using diligent efforts to satisfy such obligations (including by exercising their remedies including self-help remedies under the applicable Leases) but are unable to satisfy such obligations by such date, Borrowers shall have an additional ninety (90) days (i.e., until September11, 2024) to satisfy such obligations. The Borrowers and Lender shall cooperate in good faith, including having conference calls upon the other party’s request, to resolve and close out the Required Repairs.

(b) Disbursements. Provided no Default or Event of Default is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Required Repairs Subaccount to Borrowers, within fifteen (15) days after the delivery by Borrowers to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least $5,000 (or such lesser amount equal to the remaining balance of the Required Repairs Subaccount), and, with respect to any particular disbursement for any portion of the Required Repairs, in an amount not to exceed the amount set forth on Schedule 4 with respect to such particular portion or item of the Required Repairs, accompanied by the following items (which items shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender): (a) an Officer’s Certificate (i) certifying that the Required Repairs or any portion thereof which are the subject of the requested disbursement have been completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, (ii) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with such Required Repairs or any portion thereof and (iii) stating that each such Person has been or, upon receipt of the requested disbursement, will be paid in full with respect to the portion of the Required Repairs which is the subject of the requested disbursement; (b) copies of appropriate lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender; (c) at Lender’s option, a title search for the Properties indicating that it is free from all Liens not previously approved by Lender; (d) a copy of each License required to be obtained with respect to the portion of the Required Repairs which is the subject of the requested disbursement; and (e) such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Required Repairs which are the subject of the requested disbursement have been completed and paid for. Provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, upon Borrowers’ completion of all Required Repairs in accordance with this Section 3.4, Lender shall release any funds remaining in the Required Repairs Subaccount, if any, to Borrowers.

3.5 Cash Collateral Subaccount. If a Cash Management Period shall have commenced, then on the immediately succeeding Payment Date and on each Payment Date thereafter during the continuance of such Cash Management Period, all Available Cash shall be paid to Lender, which amounts shall be transferred by Lender into a Subaccount (the “Cash Collateral Subaccount”) as cash collateral for the Debt. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, to apply all sums then on deposit in the Cash Collateral Subaccount to the Debt, in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect, including to make a prepayment of Principal (together with the applicable Prepayment Premium applicable thereto).

3.6 Grant of Security Interest; Application of Funds. As security for payment of the Debt and the performance by Borrowers of all other terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents, Borrowers hereby pledges and assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender a security interest in, all Borrowers’ right, title and interest in and to all Rents and in and to all payments to or monies held in the Clearing Account, the Cash Management Account and all Subaccounts created pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the “Cash Management System Accounts”). Borrowers hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest in, and agrees to hold in trust for the benefit of Lender, all Rents in its possession prior to the (a) payment of such Rents to Lender or (b) deposit of such Rents into the Cash Management System Account. Borrowers shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Cash Management System Account, or permit any Lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. This Agreement is, among other things, intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the UCC. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any sums in any Cash Management System Account in any order and in any manner as Lender shall elect without seeking the appointment of a receiver and without adversely affecting the rights of Lender to foreclose the Lien of any Mortgage and/or the Pledge Agreement or exercise its other rights under the Loan Documents. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply any of the foregoing funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under the Loan Documents. Cash Management System Accounts shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. All interest which accrues on the funds in any Cash Management System Account (other than the Insurance Subaccount) shall accrue for the benefit of Borrowers and shall be taxable to Borrowers and shall be added to and disbursed in the same manner and under the same conditions as the principal sum on which said interest accrued. Upon repayment in full of the Debt, all remaining funds in the Cash Management System Accounts, if any, shall be promptly disbursed to Borrowers.

3.7 Security Deposits. Borrowers shall keep and hold all security deposits under Leases in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements and at a separately designated account under any Borrower’s control (and in the case of a letter of credit, assigned with full power of attorney and executed sight drafts to Lender) so that the security deposits shall not be commingled with any other funds of any Borrower. At any time during the existence of an Event of Default, Borrowers shall, upon Lender’s request, if permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, turn over to Lender the security deposits (and any interest theretofore earned thereon) under Leases, to be held in an account by Lender (the “Security Deposit Subaccount”) subject to the terms of the Leases. Security deposits held in the Security Deposit Subaccount will be released by Lender upon notice from Borrowers together with such evidence as Lender may reasonably request that such security deposit is required to be returned to a tenant pursuant to the terms of a Lease or may be applied as Rent pursuant to the rights of a Borrower under the applicable Lease. Any letter of credit or other instrument that any Borrower receives in lieu of a cash security deposit under any Lease entered into after the date hereof shall (i) be maintained in full force and effect in the full amount unless replaced by a cash deposit as hereinabove described and (ii) if permitted pursuant to any Legal Requirements, name Lender as payee or mortgagee thereunder (or at Lender’s option, be fully assignable to Lender).

4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

4.1 Organization; Special Purpose.

(a) Each Borrower is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation, with requisite power and authority, and all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to own its properties and to transact the business in which it is now engaged. Each Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in the jurisdiction in which the applicable Property is located and duly qualified in each other jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, business and operations.

(b) Each Borrower and Sole Member has at all times since its formation been, and as of the date hereof is, a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity.

4.2 Proceedings; Enforceability. Each Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by it, and has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform under the Loan Documents and all the transactions contemplated thereby. The Loan Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each Borrower that is a party to such Loan Document and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such Borrower, enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by Borrowers or Guarantor including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable, and none of Borrowers or Guarantor have asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

4.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by each Borrower and the transactions contemplated hereby will not conflict with any provision of any law or regulation to which any Borrower is subject, or conflict with, or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property of any such Borrower pursuant to the terms of, any agreement or instrument to which any such Borrower is a party or by which its property is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over any Borrower or any of its properties. No Borrower’s rights under the Licenses and the Management Agreement will be adversely affected by the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, any Borrower’s performance thereunder, the recordation of the Mortgages, or the exercise of any remedies by Lender. Any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by any Borrower of, or compliance by any Borrower with,

the Loan Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, has been obtained and is in full force and effect.

4.4 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or other proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or threatened against or affecting any Borrower, Guarantor, Sole Member, any Key Principal, Manager or any Property, in any court or by or before any other Governmental Authority, which, if adversely determined, might have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.5 Agreements. No Borrower is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower is not in default with respect to any order or decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any Governmental Authority, which default might have a Material Adverse Effect. No Borrower is in default, and no Borrower has received notice of any event or condition that with the giving of notice or the passage of time would constitute a default, in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any Permitted Encumbrance or any other agreement or instrument to which any Borrower is a party or by which any Borrower or any Property is bound, and to Borrowers’ knowledge, there are no defaults under any such agreement by any other party thereto.

4.6 Title. Borrowers have good, marketable and indefeasible title in fee to the real property and good title to the balance of the Properties, free and clear of all Liens except the Permitted Encumbrances. All transfer Taxes, deed stamps, intangible Taxes or other amounts in the nature of transfer Taxes required to be paid by any Person under applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the transfer of each Property to a Borrower have been paid or are being paid simultaneously herewith. The Mortgages when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any UCC Financing Statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (i) a valid, perfected first priority lien on Borrowers’ interest in the Properties and (ii) valid and perfected first priority security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances. All mortgage, mortgage recording, stamp, intangible or other similar Taxes required to be paid by any Person under applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the execution, delivery, recordation, filing, registration, perfection or enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, including the Mortgages, have been paid or are being paid simultaneously herewith. All Taxes and governmental assessments due and owing in respect of any of the Properties have been paid, or an escrow of funds in an amount sufficient to cover such payments has been established hereunder or are insured against by the Title Insurance Policies. The Permitted Encumbrances, individually or in the aggregate, do not (a) materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgages and this Agreement, (b) materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of any of the Properties, or (c) impair Borrowers’ ability to repay the Loan. No Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to any Borrower’s best knowledge, is contemplated with respect to all or any portion of any of the Properties or for the relocation of roadways providing access to any of the Properties. There are no mechanics’, materialman’s or other similar Liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or materials affecting any of the Properties which are or may become a Lien on any Property. There are no outstanding options to purchase or rights of first refusal affecting all or any portion of any Property. The Surveys do not fail to reflect any

material matter affecting such Property or the title thereto. Except as may be disclosed on the Surveys, all of the Improvements which were included in determining the appraised value of each Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon such Property, and no easements or other encumbrances affecting such Property encroach upon any of the Improvements, so as to affect the value or marketability of such Property, except those which are set forth on the Surveys and insured against by the Title Insurance Policies. Each parcel comprising each Property is a separate tax lot and is not a portion of any other tax lot that is not a part of such Property. There are no pending or proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting any Property, nor are there any contemplated improvements to any Property that may result in such special or other assessments. In addition, the Pledge Agreement, together with any UCC financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith and the delivery of the original Certificate (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) to Lender, will create a valid, first priority, perfected Lien on Sole Member’s interest in the Collateral, all in accordance with the terms thereof

4.7 No Bankruptcy Filing. No Borrower nor any of such Borrower Owner Person are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency law or the liquidation of all or a major portion of such Borrower’s assets or properties (a “Bankruptcy Proceeding”), and Borrowers have no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against any Borrower or such constituent Persons. In addition, none of Borrowers, Sole Member, Guarantor nor any principal nor Affiliate of any Borrower or Sole Member has been a party to, or the subject of a Bankruptcy Proceeding for the past ten (10) years.

4.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by any Borrower in any Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to any Borrower that has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, or, as far as any Borrower can foresee, might have a Material Adverse Effect. All financial data, including the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in respect of Borrowers, Guarantor and the Properties (i) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) accurately represent the financial condition of each Borrower, Guarantor and each Property as of the date of such reports, and (iii) to the extent prepared by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. No Borrower has any contingent liabilities, liabilities for Taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments, unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments or any liabilities or obligations not expressly permitted by this Agreement. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of any Borrower, Guarantor or any Property from that set forth in said financial statements.

4.9 Tax Filings. To the extent required, each Borrower has filed (or has obtained effective extensions for filing) all federal, state, commonwealth, district and local Tax returns required to be filed and has paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all federal, state, commonwealth, district and local Taxes, charges and assessments payable by such Borrower. Each Borrower’s Tax returns (if any) properly reflect the income and Taxes of such Borrower for the periods covered thereby, subject only to reasonable adjustments required by the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable tax authority upon audit.

4.10 ERISA; No Plan Assets. As of the date hereof and throughout the Term (i) Borrowers, Guarantor or any ERISA Affiliate do not sponsor, are not obligated to contribute to, and are not themselves an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA or a “plan” as defined in Section 4975 of the Code, (ii) none of the assets of Borrowers or Guarantor constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, as modified in application by Section 3(42) of ERISA, (iii) Borrowers and Guarantor are not and will not be a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (iv) transactions by or with Borrowers or Guarantor are not and will not be subject to state statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans. As of the date hereof, neither Borrowers, Guarantor nor any ERISA Affiliate maintains, sponsors or contributes to, or has any obligations with respect to, a “defined benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(35) of ERISA) or a “multiemployer pension plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(37)(A) of ERISA). Neither Borrowers nor Guarantor has engaged in any transaction in connection with which it could be subject to either a material civil penalty assessed pursuant to the provisions of Section 502 of ERISA or a material Tax imposed under the provisions of Section 4975 of the Code.

4.11 Compliance. Except as set forth in the Post-Closing Letter, each Borrower and each Property (including the Improvements) and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements (including with respect to parking, building and applicable zoning and land use laws, codes, regulations and ordinances). No Borrower is in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority, the violation of which might have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower has not committed any act which may give any Governmental Authority the right to cause such Borrower to forfeit the Property owned by such Borrower or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of such Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Each Property is used exclusively for industrial, retail, office or garage use and other appurtenant and related uses. In the event that all or any part of the Improvements at any Property are destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without violating any zoning or other ordinances applicable thereto and without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special permits. No legal proceedings are pending or, to the knowledge of Borrowers, threatened with respect to the zoning of any Property. Neither the zoning nor any other right to construct, use or operate any Property is in any way dependent upon or related to any property other than such Property. All certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including certificates of completion and occupancy permits required of each Borrower for the legal use, occupancy and operation of the Properties for its current use (collectively, the “Licenses”), have been obtained and are in full force and effect. The use being made of each Property is in conformity with the certificate of occupancy issued for such Property and all other restrictions, covenants and conditions affecting such Property.

4.12 Physical Condition. Except as may be expressly set forth in the Physical Conditions Reports, each Property, including all buildings, improvements, parking facilities, sidewalks, storm drainage systems, roofs, plumbing systems, HVAC systems, fire protection systems, electrical systems, equipment, elevators, exterior sidings and doors, landscaping, irrigation systems and all structural components, are in good condition, order and repair in all material respects; there exists no structural or other material defects or damages to any Property, whether latent or otherwise. No Borrower has received notice from any insurance company or

bonding company of any defects or inadequacies in any Property, or any part thereof, which would adversely affect the insurability of the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or any termination or threatened termination of any policy of insurance or bond. No portion of any Property is located in an area as identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood hazards, or, if so located the flood insurance required pursuant to Section 7.1.1 hereof is in full force and effect with respect to such Property. The Improvements have suffered no material casualty or damage which has not been fully repaired and the cost thereof fully paid.

4.13 Leases.

(a) The rent rolls attached hereto as Schedule 3 (collectively, the “Rent Rolls”) is true, complete and correct in all material respects and no Property is subject to any Leases other than the Leases described in the Rent Rolls.

(b) There are no defaults by any Borrower under the existing Leases. To the knowledge of Borrowers, there are no defaults by any Tenants under the existing Leases nor by any guarantors under the existing Lease Guaranties. The existing Leases, including the existing Lease Guaranties, are in full force and effect.

(c) To the knowledge of Borrowers, none of the Tenants now occupying 10% or more of the rentable space at any Property or having a current Lease affecting 10% or more of such rentable space is the subject of any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding or any other debtor-creditor proceeding.

(d) No Existing Lease may be amended, terminated or canceled unilaterally by a Tenant, and no Tenant may be released from its obligations, except in the event of material casualty or Condemnation.

(e) Except only for rent and additional rent for the current month, Borrowers have not accepted any payment of rent more than one month in advance of its due date, nor any security deposit in an amount exceeding one month’s rent.

(f) Borrowers have delivered to Lender true, correct and complete copies of all existing Leases, including all existing modifications and amendments, and including all existing Lease Guaranties). All agreements between the landlord and Tenant or between the landlord and any guarantor pertaining to any of such Leases are set forth in writing and are included in such copies that have been so delivered.

(g) Neither the Leases nor the Rents have been assigned or pledged except to Lender or except to any prior unaffiliated lender in connection with any prior loan that has been repaid in full and the obligations under which have been fully and finally extinguished, and no other Person has any interest therein except the tenants thereunder.

4.14 Fraudulent Transfer. No Borrower has entered into the Loan or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and each Borrower has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of

each Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed such Borrower’s total probable liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of each Borrower’s assets is, and immediately following the making of the Loan will be, greater than such Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Each Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. No Borrower intends to, and believes that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by such Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of the obligations of such Borrower).

4.15 Ownership of Borrower. Borrowers’ exact legal name is: as set forth on Schedule 1. Each Borrower is of the following organizational type (e.g., corporation, limited liability company): limited liability company, and the jurisdiction in which each Borrower is organized is: Delaware. Each Borrower’s U.S. federal tax I.D. number and Delaware Organizational I.D. number is as set forth on Schedule 1. The sole member of each Borrower is Sole Member. The membership interest in Borrowers are each owned free and clear of all Liens, warrants, options and rights to purchase. No Borrower has any obligation to any Person to purchase, repurchase or issue any ownership interest in it.

5. COVENANTS

Until the end of the Term, Borrowers hereby covenant and agree with Lender that:

5.1 Existence. Each Borrower shall (i) do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, and franchises, (ii) continue to engage in the business presently conducted by it, (iii) obtain and maintain all Licenses and all

applicable governmental authorizations, and (iv) qualify to do business and remain in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction, in each case as and to the extent required for the ownership, maintenance, management and operation of the Property owned by such Borrower.

Borrowers shall pay or cause to be paid all Property Taxes and Other Charges no later than five (5) Business Days before the dates on which the same would become delinquent and Borrowers shall produce to Lender receipts of the imposing authority, or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender, evidencing the payment of the Property Taxes and Other Charges in full. Borrowers may elect by appropriate legal action to contest any Property Tax or Other Charge, provided, however, Borrowers shall first deposit cash with Lender as a reserve in an amount which Lender reasonably determines is sufficient to pay the Property Tax or Other Charge plus all fines, interest, penalties and costs which may become due pending the determination of the contest. If a Borrower deposits this sum with Lender, such Borrower shall not be required to pay the applicable Property Tax or Other Charge provided that the contest operates to prevent enforcement or collection of the applicable Property Tax or Other Charge, and the sale and forfeiture of, the applicable Property, and is prosecuted with due diligence and continuity. Upon termination of any proceeding or contest, such Borrower shall pay the amount of the imposition as finally determined in the proceeding or contest. Provided that there is not then an Event of Default, the monies which have been deposited with Lender pursuant to this Section shall be applied toward such payment and the excess, if any, shall be returned to such Borrower.

5.3 Access to Properties. Each Borrower shall permit agents, representatives, consultants and employees of Lender to inspect the Properties or any part thereof at reasonable hours upon reasonable advance notice (unless an Event of Default exists) (which may be given verbally), subject to the rights of tenants under Leases; provided, that so long as no Event of Default exists and no Secondary Market Transaction is then contemplated, Lender shall endeavor to inspect the Properties not more than twice per calendar year. Lender or its agents, representatives, consultants and employees as part of any inspection may take soil, air, water, building material and other samples from the Properties, subject to the rights of tenants under Leases.

5.4 Repairs; Maintenance and Compliance; Alterations.

5.4.2 Alterations. Borrowers shall abstain from, and not permit the commission of waste to any Property and shall not remove or alter in any substantial manner, the structure or character of any Improvements without the prior written consent of Lender, subject to the rights

of tenants under Leases. For the purposes hereof, any alteration that (i) affects the structural elements of any Property or (ii) will cost in excess of $250,000 shall be considered to be a substantial alteration requiring Lender’s consent. Lender may condition its consent to any such alteration on (a) receipt of acceptable plans and specifications, (b) review and approval of contractors and architects and (c) Borrowers posting security with Lender, in an amount estimated by Lender as necessary to cover the costs and expenses of the alteration. Borrowers shall reimburse Lender upon demand for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees of any architect, engineer or other professional engaged by Lender) incurred by Lender in reviewing plans and specifications or in making any determinations necessary to implement the provisions of this Section 5.4.2.

If requested by Borrowers, Lender will review and grant conditional approvals of Proposed Leases or proposed renewals, extensions or modifications of existing Leases at any stage of the leasing process, from initial “term sheet” through negotiated lease drafts, provided that Lender shall retain the right to disapprove any such Proposed Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Lease, if subsequent to any preliminary approval material changes are made to the terms previously approved by Lender, or additional material terms are added that had not previously been considered and approved by Lender in connection with such Proposed Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Borrower shall enter into a proposed Lease with a tenant that intends to use its demised premises for the production, distribution or sale of marijuana, cannabis or their byproducts (including, but not limited to, cannabidiol) or a proposed renewal (other than and except for a renewal as of right by the underlying tenant), extension or modification of an existing Lease with such a tenant without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender.

If at any time Lender consents to the appointment of a new manager, such new manager and Borrowers shall, as a condition of Lender’s consent, execute a consent and subordination of management agreement substantially in the form of the Consent and Subordination of Manager of even date herewith executed and delivered by Manager to Lender.

Each Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender, prior to or contemporaneously with the effective date of any such change, any financing statement or financing statement change required by Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest granted herein.

(c) Liability insurance with no exclusion for terrorism including (i) commercial general liability insurance; (ii) liquor liability insurance, if any Property is a hotel and liquor is sold anywhere on the premises; and (iii) excess liability/umbrella insurance. Such commercial general liability insurance shall provide minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate (with a “per location” aggregate if other locations are covered under the same policy) for each policy year, with a maximum deductible or self-insured retention of $25,000; with at least $25,000,000 excess liability/umbrella insurance for any and all covered claims. The policies described in this clause (c) shall include coverage for “Personal and Advertising Injury,” “Contractual Liability” (covering, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Borrowers’ obligation to indemnify Lender as required under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), and “Products and Completed Operations.” All liability policies shall name Lender as Additional Insured on a primary and non-contributory basis for ongoing and completed operations (as applicable).

(d) Loss of rents or business income insurance (i) with Lender being named as “Lender Loss Payee”, (ii) in an amount equal to 100% of the estimated gross income (for loss of rents exposures) or the projected lost net profit, continuing expenses and necessary payroll (for business income exposures) for a period of at least twelve (12) months for the initial period of restoration, plus a six-month Extended Period of Indemnity which provides that after the physical loss to the subject Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or until the limit for such coverage as required above is exhausted, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period. The amount of such loss of rents or business

income insurance shall be increased each year at renewal during the Term, as and when the estimated or actual Rents or business income exposure increases.

(g) During any period of restoration, renovation or construction, and if such work is excluded under the property and/or general or excess/umbrella liability insurance policies, builder’s risk or course of construction insurance on a so called completed value basis in an amount equal to not less than 100% of the full replacement cost of the Properties, and liability insurance coverage on terms consistent with the coverage requirements set forth in Section 7.1.1(a) and (c) above, in form and substance acceptable to Lender.

(h) Ordinance and law coverage covering the value of the undamaged portion, demolition and debris removal and the increased cost of construction in amounts satisfactory to Lender.

(i) Such other insurance (including but not limited to pollution legal liability insurance, earthquake insurance, mine subsidence insurance, and windstorm insurance if windstorm insurance is excluded under the “all risk” or “special form” policy) as may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender in order to protect its interests.

(j) Notwithstanding anything in clauses (a) and (d) above to the contrary, Borrowers shall be required to obtain and maintain coverage as part of its property insurance Policies against loss or damage by terrorist acts, both foreign and domestic, in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost” of such Borrower’s Property plus loss of rents and/or business income insurance required in clause (d) above; provided that such coverage is available. There shall also be no exclusion for acts of terrorism under the general liability and excess liability/umbrella Policies. In the event that such coverage with respect to terrorist acts is not included as part of the policies required by clauses (a) and (d) above and/or the general liability and excess liability/umbrella Policies required by clause (c) above, Borrowers shall, nevertheless be required to obtain coverage for terrorism (as stand-alone coverage) in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost” of such Borrower’s Property under clause (a) above, the loss of rents and/or business interruption coverage under clause (d) and general liability and excess liability/umbrella coverage under clause (c) above; provided that such coverage is available.

Borrowers shall pay the premiums for such Policies (the “Insurance Premiums”) as the same become due and payable and furnish to Lender evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies together with (unless such Insurance Premiums have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof) receipts for or other evidence of the payment of the Insurance Premiums reasonably satisfactory to Lender. If any Borrower does not furnish such evidence and receipts at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of any expiring Policy, then Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, procure such insurance and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrowers shall reimburse Lender for the cost of such Insurance Premiums promptly on demand, with interest accruing at the Default Rate. Each Borrower shall deliver to Lender a certified copy of each Policy within ten (10) days after request by Lender. Within thirty (30) days after request by Lender, Borrowers shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and practices, and the like. Lender agrees that the Policies may be in the form of a blanket policy provided that (A) such blanket policy otherwise meets the requirements set forth in this Section 7.1, (B) Lender shall be satisfied by evidence required by Lender that the blanket

policy provides the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Properties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (C) Borrowers shall, upon written request of Lender, provide Lender with a complete schedule of locations and values for properties associated with such blanket policy (any such blanket policy that satisfies the foregoing conditions, an “Acceptable Blanket Policy”).

7.2 Casualty.

7.2.1 Notice; Restoration. If any Property is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrowers shall give prompt notice thereof to Lender. Following the occurrence of a Casualty, Borrowers, regardless of whether insurance proceeds are available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the affected Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction.

7.2.2 Insurance Proceeds.

(a) If a Casualty covered by any of the Policies (an “Insured Casualty”) occurs, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such Casualty does not occur at any time during the twelve (12) months preceding the Maturity Date, Borrowers may settle and adjust any claim, (A) with respect to any Casualty where the loss does not exceed the Restoration Threshold, without the prior consent of Lender or (B) with respect to any Casualty where the loss equals or exceeds the Restoration Threshold (a “Significant Casualty”), with the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner and completed within six (6) months of the occurrence of such Casualty, and Borrowers are hereby authorized to collect and receipt for the insurance proceeds (the “Proceeds”), provided any such Proceeds with respect to a Significant Casualty shall be promptly paid by Borrower to Lender and held by Lender in the Cash Management and disbursed in accordance herewith. If an Insured Casualty occurs (i) during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, (ii) at any time during the twelve (12) months preceding the Maturity Date, or (iii) with respect to which Borrower has commenced the settlement and adjustment of the claim related thereto but failed to complete such settlement and adjustment within six (6) months of the occurrence of such Casualty, Lender may, in its reasonable discretion (or, if an Event of Default then exists, in its sole discretion), settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Borrowers and agree with the insurer(s) on the amount to be paid on the loss, and the Proceeds shall be due and payable solely to Lender and held by Lender in the Cash Management System Account and disbursed in accordance herewith. If any Borrower or any party other than Lender is a payee on any check representing Proceeds with respect to a Significant Casualty, such Borrower shall immediately endorse, and cause all such third parties to endorse, such check payable to the order of Lender. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to endorse such check payable to the order of Lender. The actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender in the settlement, adjustment and collection of the Proceeds shall become part of the Debt and shall be reimbursed by Borrowers to Lender upon demand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in connection with a Casualty any insurance carrier makes a payment under a property insurance Policy that Borrowers propose be treated as business or rental interruption insurance, then, notwithstanding any designation (or lack of designation) by the insurance carrier as to the purpose of such payment, as

between Lender and Borrowers, such payment shall not be treated as business or rental interruption insurance proceeds unless Borrowers have demonstrated to Lender’s satisfaction that the remaining net Proceeds that will be received from the property insurance carriers are sufficient to pay one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of fully restoring the Improvements or, if such net Proceeds are to be applied to repay the Debt in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, that such remaining net Proceeds will be sufficient to pay the Debt in full.

(b) Each Borrower assigns to Lender all Proceeds which each Borrower is entitled to receive in connection with a Casualty whether or not such insurance is required under this Agreement. In the event of any Casualty, and provided (1) an Event of Default does not currently exist, and (2) Lender has determined in good faith that (i) there has not been an Impairment of the Security, and (ii) the Restoration can be accomplished in full compliance with all Legal Requirements to the same condition, character and general utility as nearly as possible to that existing prior to the casualty and at least equal in value as that existing prior to the casualty, the Net Insurance Proceeds shall be applied to the Restoration in accordance with the terms of Section 7.4 hereof. Lender shall hold and disburse the Net Insurance Proceeds to the Restoration. Upon Borrowers’ satisfaction and completion of the Restoration and upon confirmation that there is no Event of Default then existing, Lender shall pay any remaining Net Insurance Proceeds then held by Lender to Borrowers. In the event that the conditions for applying Net Insurance Proceeds to Restoration set forth in this Section 7.2.2 have not been met, Lender may, at its option, apply the Net Insurance Proceeds to the reduction of the Debt in such order as Lender may determine and Lender may declare the entire Debt immediately due and payable. After payment in full of the Debt, any remaining Net Insurance Proceeds shall be paid to Borrowers.

7.3 Condemnation.

7.3.1 Notice; Restoration. Borrowers shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding affecting any Property (a “Condemnation”) and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrowers, regardless of whether an Award is available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the affected Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to the extent practicable to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character (and to have the same utility) as prior to such Condemnation.

7.3.2 Collection of Award.

(a) (i) During the continuance of an Event of Default and (ii) at all times in connection with any Condemnation the loss of which exceeds Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), Lender shall be irrevocably appointed as each Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any award or payment in respect of a Condemnation (an “Award”) and to make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with such Condemnation.

(b) Notwithstanding any Condemnation (or any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of such Condemnation), Borrowers shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for in the Loan Documents, and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and until

any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender to expenses of collecting the Award and to 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 in the Note. If such Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of such Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall be recoverable or shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive all or a portion of the Award sufficient to pay the Debt. Borrowers shall cause any Award that is payable to any Borrower to be paid directly to Lender. Lender shall disburse such Award in accordance with the terms hereof.

(c) Each Borrower assigns to Lender all Awards which such Borrower is entitled to receive. In the event of any Condemnation, and provided (1) an Event of Default does not currently exist, and (2) Lender has determined that (i) there has not been an Impairment of the Security, and (ii) the Restoration of any portion of the affected Property that has not been taken can be accomplished in full compliance with all Requirements to the same condition, character and general utility as nearly as possible to that existing prior to the taking and at least equal in value as that existing prior to the taking, then the Net Condemnation Proceeds shall be applied to the Restoration in accordance with the terms of Section 7.4 hereof such Borrower shall commence and diligently pursue to completion the Restoration. Lender shall hold and disburse the Net Condemnation Proceeds to the Restoration.

(d) In the event the Net Condemnation Proceeds are to be used for the Restoration, the affected Borrower shall comply with the requirements for Restoration as set forth in Section 7.4 hereof. Upon such Borrower’s satisfaction and completion of the Restoration and upon confirmation that there is no Event of Default then existing, Lender shall pay any remaining Net Condemnation Proceeds then held by Lender to Borrowers.

(e) In the event that the conditions for applying Net Condemnation Proceeds to Restoration set forth in this Section 7.3.2 have not been met, Lender may, at its option, apply the Net Condemnation Proceeds to the reduction of the Debt in such order as Lender may determine and Lender may declare the entire Debt immediately due and payable. After payment in full of the Debt, any remaining Net Condemnation Proceeds shall be paid to Borrowers.

7.4 Application of Proceeds or Award.

7.4.1 Application to Restoration. If the Net Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds are to be used for the Restoration pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof, then the Net Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds, as the case may be, shall be applied to reimburse the affected Borrower for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the affected Property (the “Restoration”), in the manner set forth herein. Such Borrower shall commence and diligently prosecute such Restoration, subject to rights of tenants under Leases. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Lender be obligated to apply the Net Insurance Proceeds or Award to reimburse such Borrower for the cost of Restoration unless, in addition to satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, both (x) such Borrower shall pay (and if required by Lender, such Borrower shall deposit with Lender in advance) all costs of such Restoration in excess of the net amount of the Net Insurance Proceeds or the Award made available pursuant to the terms hereof; and (y) Lender shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that during the

period of the Restoration, the Rents for such Property will be at least equal to the sum of the operating expenses and Debt Service for such Property and other reserve payments required hereunder, as reasonably determined by Lender.

7.4.2 Procedure for Application to Restoration. If any Borrower is entitled to reimbursement out of the Net Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds held by Lender, such Net Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds shall be disbursed from time to time upon Lender being furnished with (i) evidence satisfactory to Lender of the estimated cost of completion of the Restoration, (ii) a fixed price or guaranteed maximum cost construction contract for Restoration satisfactory to Lender, (iii) prior to the commencement of Restoration, all immediately available funds in addition to the Net Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds that in Lender’s judgment are required to complete the proposed Restoration, (iv) such architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey, permits, approvals, licenses and such other documents and items as Lender may reasonably require and approve in Lender’s discretion, and (v) all plans and specifications for such Restoration, such plans and specifications to be approved by Lender prior to commencement of any work. Lender may, at Borrowers’ expense, retain a consultant to review and approve all requests for disbursements, which approval shall also be a condition precedent to any disbursement. No payment made prior to the final completion of the Restoration shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the work performed from time to time; funds other than the Net Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such Net Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds; and at all times, the undisbursed balance of such Net Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds remaining in the hands of Lender, together with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to the satisfaction of Lender by or on behalf of Borrowers for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Lender to pay for the cost of completion of the Restoration, free and clear of all Liens or claims for Lien.

8. DEFAULTS

(h) any Borrower breaches any covenant contained in Sections 5.11.1(a) - (e), Sections 5.12, 5.13, 5.14, 5.19, 5.20, 5.23, 5.25, or 5.26 hereof;

8.2 Remedies.

8.2.1 Acceleration. During the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8.1 above) and at any time and from time to time thereafter, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to the Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand except to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements (and each Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand), that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against any Borrower and in and to the Properties; including declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, Prepayment Premium and any other amounts owing by Borrowers), without notice or demand except to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements; and upon any Event of Default described in paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8.1 above, the Debt (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, Prepayment Premium and any other amounts owing by Borrowers) shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrowers hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained in any Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

8.2.2 Remedies Cumulative. During the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrowers under the Loan Documents or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared, or be automatically, 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. 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 discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing, (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, 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, the Mortgages and the Pledge Agreement have been foreclosed, the Properties have been sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full. To the extent permitted by applicable law, nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any particular Property or any portion of any Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other portion, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all or less than all of the Properties or any part of any Property, in its discretion.

8.2.3 Severance.

(a) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose any Mortgage and/or the Pledge Agreement in any manner and for any amounts secured by any Mortgage and/or the Pledge Agreement then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, including the following circumstances: (i) in the event any Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of Principal and interest, Lender may foreclose any Mortgage and/or the Pledge Agreement to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding Principal, Lender may foreclose any Mortgage and/or the Pledge Agreement to recover so much of the Principal as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by such Mortgage and/or the Pledge Agreement as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, (i) the Properties shall remain subject to the Mortgages to secure payment of the sums secured by the Mortgages and not previously recovered and (ii) the Collateral shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreement to secure payment of the sums secured by the Pledge Agreement and not previously recovered.

(b) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents in such denominations and priorities of payment and liens as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Each 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. Each 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 such severance, each Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof.

8.2.4 Delay. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default, or the granting of any indulgence or compromise by Lender shall impair any such remedy, right or power hereunder or be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim in connection with the foreclosure of any Mortgage and/or the Pledge Agreement to the extent necessary to foreclose on all or any portion of any Property, the Rents, the Cash Management System Accounts or any other collateral.

8.2.5 Lender’s Right to Perform. If any Borrower fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) Business Days after such Borrower’s receipt of written notice thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all actual out-of-pocket costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable

by Borrowers to Lender upon demand and if not paid shall be added to the Debt (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Mortgages and other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to any Borrower of any such failure.

9. SPECIAL PROVISIONS

9.1 Sale of Mortgages. Subject to Section 9.4 below, Lender shall have the right (i) to sell or otherwise transfer the Loan or any portion thereof as a whole loan, (ii) to sell participation interests in the Loan, or (iii) to securitize the Loan or any portion thereof in a single asset securitization or a pooled loan securitization, and which may also include the issuance of collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations and collateralized mortgage obligations (the transactions referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are each hereinafter referred to as a “Secondary Market Transaction” and the transactions referred to in clause (iii) shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Securitization”. Any certificates, notes or other securities issued in connection with a Securitization are hereinafter referred to as “Securities”). At Lender’s election, each note and/or component comprising the Loan may be subject to one or more Secondary Market Transactions. Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant, or investor in the Loan or in the Securities (collectively, the “Investor”) or any prospective Investor or any Rating Agency rating the Securities, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Loan, Borrowers, any Guarantor and the Properties, whether furnished by Borrowers, any Guarantor or otherwise, as Lender determines necessary or desirable.

9.2 Cooperation. Subject to Section 9.4 below, Borrowers shall cooperate with Lender, prospective Investors, and the Rating Agencies in furnishing such information and providing such other assistance, reports and legal opinions as Lender may reasonably request in connection with any such transaction. In addition, each Borrower acknowledges that Lender may release or disclose to prospective Investors and the Rating Agencies originals or copies of the Loan Documents, the Guaranty, if any, title information, engineering reports, financial statements, operating statements, appraisals, Leases, rent rolls, and all other materials, documents and information in Lender’s possession or which Lender is entitled to receive under the Loan Documents, and the Guaranty, if any, with respect to the Loan, any Borrower, any Guarantor or any Property. Borrowers shall also furnish to prospective Investors or the Rating Agencies any and all information concerning any Property, the Leases, the financial condition of any Borrower or any Guarantor as may be requested by Lender, any prospective Investor or any Rating Agency in connection with any sale, transfer or participation interest.

9.3 Severance of Loan. Subject to Section 9.4 below, Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to, in connection with, or after any Secondary Market Transaction), with respect to all or any portion of the Loan, to modify, split and/or sever all or any portion of the Loan as hereinafter provided. Without limiting the foregoing, Lender may (i) cause the Notes and the Mortgages to be split into a first and second mortgage loan, (ii) create one or more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure), (iii) create multiple components of the Note or Notes (and allocate or reallocate the principal balance of the Loan among such components), (iv) otherwise sever the Loan into two (2) or more loans secured by mortgages and by a pledge of

partnership or membership interests (directly or indirectly) in any Borrower (i.e., a senior loan/mezzanine loan structure), in each such case described in clauses (i) through (iv) above, in whatever proportion and whatever priority Lender determines, and (v) modify the Loan Documents with respect to the newly created Notes or components of the Note or Notes such that the pricing and marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of Securities and the rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum rating levels for the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment described above shall (i) modify or amend any material economic term of the Loan, or (ii) materially increase the obligations, or decrease the rights, of Borrowers under the Loan Documents; provided, however, in each such instance the outstanding principal balance of all the Notes evidencing the Loan (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all such Notes (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification (provided, however, that it is agreed that partial prepayments of principal, including resulting from a Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment may cause the weighted average Interest Rate to change over time due to the non-pro rata allocation of such prepayments between any such separate notes, participations or counterparts). If requested by Lender, Borrowers (and each Borrower’s constituent members, if applicable, and Guarantor) shall execute within two (2) Business Days after such request, such documentation as Lender may reasonably request to evidence and/or effectuate any such modification or severance. At Lender’s election, each note comprising the Loan may be subject to one or more Securitizations. Lender shall have the right to modify the Note and/or Notes and any components in accordance with this Section 9.3 and, provided that such modification shall comply with the terms of this Section 9.3, it shall become immediately effective.

9.4 Costs and Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 9, Borrowers shall not be required to incur (i) any material costs or expenses in the performance of its obligations under Section 9.1, other than expenses of Borrowers’ counsel or (ii) any material costs or expenses in the performance of its obligations under Section 9.3 in excess of $25,000.

10. MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of any Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against such Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest and rights under the Loan Documents, or in all or any of the Properties, the Rents or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against a Borrower only to the extent of such Borrower’s interest in the Properties, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender. The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall not, however, (i) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any Loan Document; (ii) impair the right of Lender to name one or more Borrowers as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under any Mortgage and/or the Pledge

Agreement; (iii) affect the validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (iv) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (v) impair the enforcement of the assignments of leases and rents; (vi) constitute a prohibition against Lender to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to fully realize the security granted by any Mortgage and/or the Pledge Agreement or to exercise its remedies against all or any of the Properties; or (vii) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrowers, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following but specifically excluding any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages except to the extent actually payable to a third party (all such liability and obligation of Borrowers for any or all of the following being referred to herein as “Borrowers’ Recourse Liabilities”):

(e) all Rents of any Property received or collected by or on behalf of any Borrower after an Event of Default and not deposited into the Cash Management Account, applied to payment of Principal and interest due under the Notes, or applied to the payment of actual and reasonable operating expenses of any Property, as they become due or payable (except to the extent that such application of such funds is prevented by bankruptcy, receivership, or similar judicial proceeding in which such Borrower is legally prevented from directing the disbursement of such sums);

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) Lender’s agreement not to pursue personal liability of Borrowers as set forth above SHALL BECOME NULL AND VOID and shall be of no further force and effect, and the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrowers in the event that one or more of the following occurs (each, a “Springing Recourse Event”):

(iii) any Borrower files a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or files a petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding pursuant to any other Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law;

(x) if Guarantor, any Borrower or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, in connection with any enforcement action or exercise or assertion of any right or remedy by or on behalf of Lender under or in connection with the Notes, the Mortgages or any other Loan Document, seeks a defense, judicial intervention or injunctive or other equitable relief of any kind or asserts in a pleading filed in connection with a judicial proceeding any defense against Lender or any right in connection with any security for the Loan; excluding any such defense, judicial intervention or other equitable relief that is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been raised by any Borrower, Guarantor or any Affiliate of the foregoing in good faith;

(i) any of Borrowers, Sole Member, Guarantor or any Affiliate of any of them causes any Borrower to amend or otherwise modify its organizational documents in order to amend or repeal its election to be governed by Article 8 of the UCC, or any termination or cancellation of the limited liability company membership certificate evidencing Sole Member’s one hundred percent (100%) ownership interest in each Borrower, as delivered to Lender on the Closing Date in connection with the Pledge Agreement; and/or

(xi) if any Borrower, Sole Member, Guarantor or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing asserts any defense to, or seeks to delay, interfere with, restrain, enjoin or prevent (including by seeking a temporary restraining order or other injunctive relief or any declaratory judgement) Lender’s exercise of any remedies under the Pledge Agreement (including the conducting of any UCC sale of the Collateral) in whole or in part on the basis that the exercise of such remedy by Lender should not be permitted because Lender holds a mortgage lien on the property to secure the Loan and the exercise of such remedy violates or is inconsistent with any Borrower’s right to redeem the Property under applicable New York statutes governing the foreclosure of mortgages or under common law (including under any so called “equity of redemption” under common law) or any public policy relating to any of the foregoing.

10.2 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Each Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the Loan other than KeyBank Real Estate Capital (“Broker”) whose fees shall be paid by Borrowers pursuant to a separate agreement. Borrowers shall indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, whether incurred in connection with enforcing this indemnity or defending claims of third parties) of any kind in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person (including Broker) that such Person acted on behalf of Borrowers in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.2 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Debt.

10.3 Retention of Servicer. Lender reserves the right to retain Servicer to act as its agent hereunder with such powers as are specifically delegated to Servicer by Lender, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Borrowers shall pay any reasonable fees and expenses of Servicer (i) in connection with a release of any Property (or any portion thereof), (ii) from and after a transfer of the Loan to any “master servicer” or “special servicer” for any reason, including as a result of a decline in the occupancy level of any Property, (iii) in connection with an assumption or modification of the Loan, (iv) in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents or (v) in connection with any other action or approval taken by Servicer hereunder on behalf of Lender (which shall not include ongoing regular servicing fees relating to the day-to-day servicing of the Loan, for which Borrowers shall not be charged).

10.4 Survival; Successors and Assigns. 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 any of the Debt is unpaid or such

longer period if expressly set forth in this Agreement. 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 of Borrowers’ covenants and agreements in this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the respective legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.

10.5 Lender’s Discretion.

(a) Whenever pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or consent or withhold consent, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender or is to be in Lender’s discretion, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove, to consent or withhold consent, or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, or acceptable or unacceptable or in Lender’s discretion shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender and shall be final and conclusive. Additionally, whenever in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or consent or withhold consent, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender in Lender’s reasonable discretion, or Lender agrees to not withhold, condition or delay its consent, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove, to consent, condition, delay or withhold consent, or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, or acceptable or unacceptable or in Lender’s discretion shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender while an Event of Default is continuing unless otherwise specifically herein provided.

(b) Prior to a Securitization, if Lender does not have a separate and independent approval right with respect to the matter in question, then the term Rating Agency Confirmation shall be deemed instead to require the prior written consent of Lender.

10.7 Modification, Waiver in Writing. No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party or parties against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on, any Borrower shall entitle any Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right,

power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under any other Loan Document, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under any 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 the Loan Documents, or to declare an Event of Default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount. Lender shall have the right to waive or reduce any time periods that Lender is entitled to under the Loan Documents in its sole and absolute discretion.

EITHER PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS SECTION 10.8 IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY THE OTHER.

10.9 Headings/Schedules. 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. The Schedules attached hereto are hereby incorporated by reference as a part of this Agreement with the same force and effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

10.10 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.

10.11 Preferences. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrowers to any portion of the Debt. To the extent Borrowers make a payment to Lender, or Lender receives proceeds of any collateral, which is in whole or part 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 Debt 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. This provision shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Debt.

10.12 Waiver of Notice. No Borrower shall be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or any other

Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to such Borrower and except with respect to matters for which such Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Each Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which no Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to such Borrower.

10.13 Remedies of Borrowers. If a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or any of its agents, including Servicer, has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under any Loan Document, Lender or any such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrowers agree that neither Lender nor its agents, including Servicer, shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrowers’ sole remedy shall be to commence an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Each Borrower specifically waives any claim against Lender and its agents, including Servicer, with respect to actions taken by Lender or its agents on any Borrower’s behalf. Additionally, and without limiting any of the other provisions contained herein, each Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any rights it may have to claim or recover against Lender in any legal action or proceeding any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

10.14 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, understandings and negotiations among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Each Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against one or more Borrowers by Lender or its agents, including Servicer, or otherwise offset any obligations to make payments required under the Loan Documents. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to the Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which one or more Borrowers may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such offset, counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by one or more Borrowers in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents, and any such right to interpose or assert any such offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrowers.

10.16 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by any Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public, which refers to the Loan Documents, the Loan, Lender or any of Lender’s Affiliates, a loan purchaser, Servicer or the trustee in a Secondary Market Transaction, shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender. Lender shall have the right to issue any of the foregoing without any Borrower’s approval. The foregoing shall not preclude Borrowers, Guarantor or any of their Affiliates from making any public filings required by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

10.17 No Usury. Borrowers and Lender intend at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Lender to contract

for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under state law) and that this Section 10.17 shall control every other agreement in the Loan Documents. If the applicable law (state or federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Note or any other Loan Document, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Debt, or if Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Loan or any prepayment by Borrowers results in Borrowers having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Borrowers’ and Lender’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited against the Principal and all other Debt (or, if the Debt has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrowers), and the provisions of the Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of 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 Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.

10.18 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 each is represented by separate counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party that drafted them. Borrowers acknowledge that, with respect to the Loan, Borrowers 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 Borrowers, and Borrowers hereby irrevocably waive 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. Borrowers acknowledge 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 Borrowers or its Affiliates.

10.19 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

(a) Borrowers and Lender intend that the relationships created under the Loan Documents be solely that of a borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common or joint tenancy relationship between Borrowers and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in any of the Properties other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.

(b) The Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrowers and nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrowers any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.

10.20 Prepayment Premium. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that (a) Lender is making the Loan in consideration of the receipt by Lender of all interest and other benefits intended to be conferred by the Loan Documents and (b) if payments of Principal become due and owing to Lender on or prior to the Permitted Prepayment Date (including any payments due under the Guaranty, to the extent applicable), for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary, including as a result of any acceleration of the Loan pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise or after an Event of Default, Lender will not receive all such interest and other benefits and may, in addition, incur costs. For these reasons, and to induce Lender to make the Loan, Borrowers agree that, except as expressly provided in Section 2.3.2 or Article 7 hereof, during the continuance of an Event of Default and/or at any time from and after the acceleration of the Debt by the terms of this Agreement, operation of law or otherwise, any payments of Principal and accrued interest and other sums due under the Loan Documents, shall include the Prepayment Premium applicable to such Principal; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to imply that the Loan may be voluntarily prepaid in any manner or under any circumstance other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Such Prepayment Premium shall be required together with such repayment of Principal whether payment is made by Borrowers, Guarantor (if applicable pursuant to the terms of the Guaranty) or any other Person on behalf of one or more Borrowers or Guarantor, or by the purchaser at any foreclosure sale, and may be included in any bid by Lender at such sale. Each Borrower further acknowledges that (A) it is a knowledgeable real estate developer and/or investor; (B) it fully understands the effect of the provisions of this Section 10.20, as well as the other provisions of the Loan Documents; (C) the making of the Loan by Lender at the Interest Rate and other terms set forth in the Loan Documents are sufficient consideration for Borrowers’ obligation to pay a Prepayment Premium (if required); and (D) Lender would not make the Loan on the terms set forth herein without the inclusion of such provisions. Each Borrower also acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement limiting the right of prepayment and providing for the payment of the Prepayment Premium and other charges specified herein were independently negotiated and bargained for, and constitute a specific material part of the consideration given by Borrowers to Lender for the making of the Loan except as expressly permitted hereunder.

10.21 Assignments and Participations.

(a) In addition to any other rights of Lender hereunder, the Loan, the Notes, the Loan Documents and/or Lender’s rights, title, obligations and interests therein may be sold, assigned, participated or otherwise transferred by Lender and any of its successors and assigns to any Person at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law (pursuant to a merger or other successor in interest) or otherwise without notice to or consent from Borrowers or any other Person. Upon such assignment, all references to Lender in this Agreement and in any Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such assignee or successor in interest and such assignee or successor in interest shall thereafter stand in the place of Lender in all respects. Except as expressly permitted herein, no Borrower may assign its rights, title, interests or obligations under this Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents.

(b) If Lender sells a participation interest in the Loan, Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that Lender shall not have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(c) Lender or its designee, acting for this purpose solely as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender, and the commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrowers and each Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

10.22 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of such Borrower, such Borrower’s members or partners, as applicable, and others with interests in such Borrower, and of the Property owned by such Borrower, and shall not assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property owned by such Borrower 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 such Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

10.23 Joint and Several Liability. If more than one Person has executed this Agreement as “Borrower,” the representations, covenants, warranties and obligations of all such Persons hereunder shall be joint and several.

10.24 Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Agreement and by law, Lender shall have the right in its sole discretion, without prior notice to any Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by any Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing

by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrowers. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrowers after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

10.25 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which, together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. Documents executed, scanned (in .PDF or similar reprographic format), and/or executed electronically using electronic signature software in accordance with the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, Title 15, United States Code, Sections 7001 et seq., the Uniform Electronic Transaction Act and any applicable state law (collectively, the “E-Signature Laws”) (each a method of “Electronic Execution”) and transmitted electronically shall be deemed original signatures for purposes of this Agreement and all matters related thereto, with such Electronic Execution having the same legal and binding effect as original signatures. Any document accepted, executed or agreed to in conformity with such E-Signature Laws will be binding on all parties as if the same were physically executed. Therefore, the Parties (a) consent to the Electronic Execution of this Agreement and the use of electronic signatures, (b) intend to be bound by the signatures on any document delivered via Electronic Execution, (c) are aware that the other party will rely on such Electronic Execution and (d) waive any defenses to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement based on an Electronic Execution of this Agreement.

10.26 Negation of Implied Right to Cure Events of Default. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents providing that certain rights, remedies or privileges are only available to Lender during the “continuance” of an Event of Default (or words of similar import), each Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that it does not have the right to cure an Event of Default once the same has occurred under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender has delivered Borrowers written notice of such Event of Default, in each case without the consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld, delayed or denied by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion.

10.27 Cross-Default; Cross-Collateralization. Each Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrowers 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 the Properties taken separately. Each Borrower agrees that the Mortgages are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Mortgages shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Mortgages which secure the Note; (ii) an Event of Default under the Note or this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under each Mortgage; and (iii) each Mortgage shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Properties as security for the Note.

10.28 Other Business Activities. Each Borrower acknowledges that (a) Lender is an Affiliate of The Blackstone Group L.P., each of which have interests in a variety of investment vehicles and portfolio companies, some of whom may have business relationships with Borrowers or their respective Affiliates, (b) none of the provisions of this Agreement shall in any way limit the activities of The Blackstone Group L.P. and its Affiliates, investment vehicles or portfolio companies who are not parties to this Agreement (collectively, the “Other Entities”), and (c) the

business activities of the Other Entities shall not affect any Borrower’s obligations and liabilities hereunder.
