With respect to Taxes and Insurance Premiums payable with respect to the Property from December 9, 2009 through but not including February 9, 2010, the parties hereto agree that the Second B Piece Tax and Insurance Escrow Advance shall be used by Lender to make such payments.

To the extent sufficient amounts have been deposited into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund with Lender in compliance with this Section 2.7.1(e), Section 2.7.2(e) and this Section 7.1, it shall not be an Event of Default if the Insurance Premiums and/or the Taxes are not paid due to Lender’s failure to apply such amounts to the payment of the Insurance Premiums or Taxes on the respective dates on which each are due provided that Borrower has not impeded Lender’s attempt to pay such Insurance Premiums or Taxes. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower and when returning such excess amounts, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property.”

“ARTICLE XII
INTENTIONALLY OMITTED”

(ii) The following provisions are hereby added to the Loan Agreement as a new Article XIII:

“ARTICLE XIII
DEED IN LIEU OF FORECLOSURE

Section 13.1 Deed in Lieu Documents and Consensual Foreclosure Documents. Lender and Borrower are parties to the Deed in Lieu Event Agreement and, as more particularly set forth therein, Lender and Borrower have irrevocably and unconditionally delivered to Escrow Agent those certain duly executed Escrowed Documents to be released from escrow by Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. Subject to Section 13.2 below, upon the occurrence of any Deed in Lieu Event, Lender shall have all rights and remedies available to it hereunder, under the other Loan Documents and under the Deed in Lieu Event Agreement.

Section 13.2 Deed in Lieu Event; Release from Escrow; Election of Remedies. At any time after the occurrence of a Deed in Lieu Event, Lender shall deliver a notice of the same to Escrow Agent and Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement (a “Deed in Lieu

Notice”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement and the Deed in Lieu Event Agreement, upon receipt of a Deed in Lieu Notice, the Escrowed Documents shall be released from escrow to Lender or Lender’s Designee and Borrower (as applicable) by Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement and the Deed in Lieu Event Agreement, after the occurrence of a Deed in Lieu Event, Lender or Lender’s Designee shall have the right to elect whether to record the Deed and/or pursue a Consensual Foreclosure. It is acknowledged and agreed that none of Lender or Lender’s Designee shall have any obligation to record the Deed, and title to the Property shall not be deemed to have been transferred to Lender or Lender’s Designee, unless and until such party makes the election referred to in the prior sentence and the Deed is recorded or the Consensual Foreclosure is consummated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lender or Lender’s Designee has not (i) elected to either pursue a Consensual Foreclosure or record the Deed within twelve (12) months after the occurrence of a Deed in Lieu Event and (ii) actually taken title to the Property pursuant to the Deed or the Consensual Foreclosure Documents or otherwise within such twelve (12) month period, then, subject to the Deed in Lieu Event Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, if the Deed in Lieu Documents have not theretofore been released, Escrow Agent shall automatically release such Deed in Lieu Documents to Lender or Lender’s Designee on the date that is twelve (12) months after such Deed in Lieu Event and, unless the failure of Lender or Lender’s Designee to take title pursuant to subclause (ii) above was caused by the existence of an intervening lien (other than a Permitted Encumbrance) or other action or inaction of Borrower in violation of this Agreement, Lender or Lender’s Designee shall promptly thereupon effectuate the taking of title to the Property by way of the Deed or otherwise. Nothing in the preceding sentences shall limit the right of Lender to exercise any other remedies available to Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or, if Lender has elected to (i) pursue but has not consummated a Consensual Foreclosure, to thereafter record the Deed or (ii) record the Deed and, after title to the Property has been transferred to Lender or Lender’s Designee, to thereafter elect to pursue the Consensual Foreclosure; provided, however, that upon (A) conveyance of title to the Property to Lender or Lender’s Designee pursuant to the election and completion of remedies under the Deed in Lieu Event Agreement and (B) the expiration of any right of redemption in favor of Borrower with respect to the Property, Lender or Lender’s Designee shall no longer have the right to pursue any other rights and remedies granted to such party under the Loan Documents other than as set forth in Section 13.4 hereof with respect to the continuing liability of Guarantor under the Non-Recourse Guaranty (if applicable) and other than the pursuit of the Consensual Foreclosure pursuant to the Consensual Foreclosure Documents and, provided further, that following the delivery

by Lender to Borrower of the Deed in Lieu Notice, as long as Borrower is complying with the Deed in Lieu Event Agreement (including without limitation the cooperation of Borrower and Guarantor, as applicable, with Lender pursuant to the Deed in Lieu Event Agreement to the extent required by the Deed in Lieu Event Agreement), Lender shall forebear from pursuing any other remedy provided for in the Loan Documents, other than with respect to Lender’s right to make claims under the Non-Recourse Guaranty, subject to any limitations on Guarantor’s continuing liability under the Non-Recourse Guaranty as set forth in Section 13.4 hereof. Lender shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses associated with the transfer of title to the Property from Borrower to Lender or Lender’s Designee.

Section 13.3 Absolute Conveyance. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the conveyance of the Property to Lender or Lender’s Designee pursuant to the conveyances provided for in the Escrowed Documents and/or the Consensual Foreclosure Documents shall be an absolute transfer, assignment and conveyance of all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Property in fact as well as in form and is not now and shall not be intended as a mortgage, trust conveyance, deed of trust or security instrument of any kind; that the consideration for such conveyance is and shall be exactly as recited herein and in the Escrowed Documents and/or the Consensual Foreclosure Documents and Borrower shall have, from and after the transfer of title to the Property to Lender or Lender’s Designee, of record, pursuant to the Deed and/or the Consensual Foreclosure Documents as provided for herein, no further right, title or interest, including right of redemption or claims, in and to the Property (or any portion thereof) or to the proceeds and profits which may be derived therefrom of any kind whatsoever. Upon release of the Escrowed Documents from escrow to Lender or Lender’s Designee and/or execution of the Consensual Foreclosure Documents by the appropriate parties thereto, to the extent that Borrower receives any Gross Income from Operations, Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered all such Gross Income from Operations, immediately upon receipt by Borrower, to Lender or Lender’s Designee, as applicable, and all such Gross Income from Operations shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender or Lender’s Designee, until so delivered.

Section 13.4 Release of Borrower from Liability; Limited Release of Guarantor. Lender has executed and delivered, as one of the Escrowed Documents, a release of Borrower and Guarantor from their respective obligations under the Loan Documents, however, it is acknowledged and agreed that the liability of Guarantor under the Non-Recourse Guaranty shall continue for any actions or inaction of Borrower or its Affiliates or conditions arising or occurring prior to the date upon which Lender or Lender’s Designee acquires title to the Property in accordance with the Deed in Lieu Event Agreement and all redemption

rights of Borrower have expired, provided, however, that Guarantor shall have no continuing liability under Section 1.2(ix) of the Non-Recourse Guaranty solely as such Section would be applicable to a Transfer of the Property to Lender or Lender’s Designee pursuant to a Deed granted in favor of Lender or Lender’s Designee or a Consensual Foreclosure, each in accordance with the Deed in Lieu Event Agreement, or under Sections 1.2(xvi) and 1.2(xvii) of the Non-Recourse Guaranty, in each case following (A) transfer of title to the Property to Lender or Lender’s Designee pursuant to the Deed in Lieu Event Agreement and (B) the expiration of any right of redemption in favor of Borrower with respect to the Property. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence and the release, the liability of Guarantor under the Non-Recourse Guaranty shall continue for a period of twelve (12) months following the date Lender or Lender’s Designee acquires title to the Property and all redemption rights of Borrower have expired, and after such twelve (12) month period shall be deemed fully released (other than with respect to claims or actions commenced prior to the expiration of such twelve (12) month period which shall continue beyond such twelve month period until fully adjudicated) in accordance with the release delivered by Lender in accordance with the Deed in Lieu Event Agreement.”

(jj) The following provisions are hereby added to the Loan Agreement as a new Article XIV:

“ARTICLE XIV
APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS FROM A SALE OF THE PROPERTY

Section 14.1 Net Sale Proceeds. If Borrower sells the Property, or any interest therein prior to the Maturity Date or acceleration of the Loan, Borrower shall pay all Net Sale Proceeds received by Borrower as follows:

(b) second, to B Piece Holder to prepay in full the B Piece Percentage of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Loan plus all accrued and unpaid interest at the Applicable B Interest Rate and all other fees, payments of interest at the Default Rate or other penalties that are

otherwise payable to B Piece Holder as a result of an Event of Default or the late payment of any amounts required to be paid under the Loan Documents, if any.”
