ARTICLE I

GENERAL TERMS

Section 1.1. The Loan; Fees; Term.

(a) On the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Initial Lender shall make an advance (the “Closing Date Advance”) to Borrower in an amount equal to the Closing Date Advance Amount. The Loan shall be represented by Notes that shall bear interest as described in this Agreement at a per annum rate equal to the Interest Rate. Interest payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the related Interest Accrual Period. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to the Initial Lender an origination fee in an amount equal to 1.00% of the Loan Amount.

(b) Provided no Event of Default is continuing, at Borrower’s request from time to time prior to the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, Lender shall make one or more additional advances (each, a “Delayed Advance”), which advances shall not in the aggregate exceed the Maximum Delayed Advance Amount and shall be conditioned on (i) the delivery of Title Insurance Policies reasonably acceptable to the Initial Lender for each of the Properties for which Mortgages were delivered at the time of the Closing Date Advance, (ii) the delivery of Title Insurance Policies reasonably acceptable to the Initial Lender for each of the Delayed Advance Properties for which Mortgages are delivered in connection with the making of the Delayed Advance, (iii) recording of Mortgages encumbering Delayed Advance Properties having Allocated Loan Amounts that, in the aggregate, equal the amount of the applicable Delayed Advance, (iv) the payment of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs (including attorney’s fees) incurred in connection with the origination of the Loan or the making of a Delayed Advance, as the case may be and (v) delivering to Lender the Delayed Advance Officer’s Certificate. Each request for a Delayed Advance shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Delayed Advance requested and (ii) the requested date of such advance, which shall be a Business Day at least six (6) Business Days after the date of such request. Each Delayed Advance shall be made on the requested date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as the Borrower shall specify. Concurrently with the making of the Closing Date Advance, Borrower shall pay the Initial Lender a funding fee in an amount equal to 1.00% of the Closing Date Advance. Concurrently with the making of each Delayed Advance, Borrower shall pay to the Initial Lender a funding fee in an aggregate amount equal to 1.00% of the amount of such Delayed Advance. Interest on each Delayed Advance shall begin to accrue on the date that such Delayed Advance is made to Borrower. Each Delayed Advance is not in the nature of a revolving credit facility, and amounts borrowed and repaid hereunder may not be re-borrowed. Each Delayed Advance shall be in an amount no less than $30,000,000.

(c) The Closing Date Advance together with each Delayed Advance is referred to herein as the “Loan”. The Loan shall be secured by the Collateral pursuant to the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. Upon making the Closing Date Advance, the Loan shall be secured by each of the Properties, except the Delayed Advance Properties, and Lender shall record Mortgages encumbering each of the Properties, except the Delayed Advance Properties. Upon making each Delayed Advance, the Loan shall be further secured by each of the Delayed Advance Properties for which Mortgages are delivered pursuant to Section 1.1(b), and Lender shall record Mortgages encumbering the Delayed Advance Properties.

(d) Borrower may, upon at least 5 Business Days’ written notice to Lender, reduce in whole or in part the remaining Maximum Delayed Advance Amount that has not theretofore been advanced to Borrower.

Section 1.2. Interest and Principal.

(a) On each Payment Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender interest in arrears on each Note for the applicable Interest Accrual Period at the applicable Interest Rate (except that in each case, interest shall be payable on the Indebtedness, including due but unpaid interest, at the Default Rate with respect to any portion of such Interest Accrual Period falling during the continuance of an Event of Default).

(b) The Loan may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, to the extent not prohibited by any agreement governing other Debt of the Borrower. The Loan must be repaid in connection with a release of a Property pursuant to Section 1.6(a), in the amount required thereby. The entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, together with interest through the Maturity Date and all other amounts then due under the Loan Documents, shall be due and payable by Borrower to Lender on the Maturity Date. Interest will cease to accrue on any portion of the Principal Indebtedness that has been repaid to Lender.

(c) Any payments of interest and/or principal not paid when due hereunder shall bear interest at the applicable Default Rate.

(d) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder shall be made without deduction or withholding for any taxes, except as required by law; provided that to the extent any deduction or withholding is so required by law, Borrower shall be entitled to so deduct or withhold the amounts required to be withheld or deducted from any such payment.

Section 1.3. Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, all payments under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made to Lender not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by wire transfer in federal or other immediately available funds to the account specified from time to time by Lender. Any funds received by Lender after such time shall be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day. Lender shall notify Borrower in writing of any changes in the account to which payments are to be made. If the amount received from Borrower is less than the sum of all amounts then due and payable hereunder, such amount shall be applied, at Lender’s sole discretion, either toward the components of the Indebtedness (e.g., interest, principal and other amounts payable hereunder) and the Notes and Note Components, in such sequence as Lender shall elect in its sole discretion, or toward the payment of Property expenses.

Section 1.4. Taxes; Regulatory Change. Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any present or future stamp, documentary or other similar taxes or charges now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority solely by reason of the execution and

delivery of the Loan Documents and any consents, waivers, amendments and enforcement of rights under the Loan Documents, other than any such taxes or charges imposed as a result of a present or former connection between Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such tax or charges (other than connections arising from the Lender having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to or enforced any Loan Document, or sold or assigned an interest in the Loan or any Loan Document).

Section 1.5. Release. Upon (a) payment in full of the Indebtedness, (b) in connection with the replacement of a Property with a Substitution Property or New Property pursuant to Section 2.2, or (c) in connection with the Transfer of a Property permitted by Section 5.2 and upon making the payment required pursuant to Section 1.6(a), Lender shall execute instruments prepared by Borrower and reasonably satisfactory to Lender, which, at Borrower’s election and at Borrower’s sole cost and expense: either, (i) in the case of a repayment of the Indebtedness in full (w) release and discharge all Liens on all Collateral securing payment of the Indebtedness (subject to Borrower’s obligation to pay any associated fees and expenses), or (x) assign such Liens (and the Loan Documents) to a new lender designated by Borrower; or (ii) in the case of (y) the replacement of a Property with one or more Substitution Properties or New Properties pursuant to Section 2.2 or (z) the Transfer of a Property permitted by Section 5.2 and upon making the payment required under Section 1.6, (A) release and discharge the Lien of the applicable Mortgage on the Property being so replaced or subject to a Transfer (which may be in the form of a partial release of mortgage if such Mortgage covers multiple Properties) (the date of the recording of such release and discharge of the Lien of the applicable Mortgage on the Property, the “Release Date”) and (B) if following such replacement or sale, any Borrower (other than Sears or Kmart) that is not then the owner of any Property or Substitution Property requests a release from being “Borrower” under the Loan Documents, release such Borrower from its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and release and discharge all Liens on all Collateral of such Borrower securing payment of the Indebtedness. All Liens on Collateral constituting personal property (but expressly excluding the Land and Improvements as defined in the Mortgage) shall be automatically released upon any transfer of such Collateral permitted under Section 5.2 and Lender shall, upon Borrower’s request and at Borrower’s expense, execute such further documents reasonably acceptable to Lender as Borrower may reasonably request to evidence such release. Any release or assignment provided by Lender pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind.

Section 1.6. Individual Property Releases.

(a) Provided that no Event of Default is then continuing and all amounts then due and owing to Lender have been paid in full, Borrower shall have the right, at its option, on not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to Lender, to obtain the release of one or more of the Properties from the Liens of the Loan Documents in connection with an arm’s-length Transfer of such Property, provided that the following conditions shall have been satisfied:

CLOSING DELIVERIES; SUBSTITUTION PROPERTIES

Section 2.1. Post-Closing Deliveries.

(a) As a material inducement to Lender making the Loan, Borrower agrees that it shall deliver Appraisals, Title Insurance Policies and Surveys, in each case acceptable to Lender, for each of the Properties on or before January 31, 2017 and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy all other Post-Closing Items to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction by February 15, 2017; provided, however, that in any event Borrower shall satisfy all such Post-Closing Items to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction by February 28, 2017, or such later date as to which Lender may grant its consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (so long as Borrower is diligently pursuing the satisfaction of the applicable Post-Closing Items). Post-Closing Items with respect to any Substitution Property shall be delivered no later than the date that is 45 days following the selection of the Substitution Property, or such later date as to which Lender may grant its consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (so long as Borrower is diligently pursuing the satisfaction of the applicable Post-Closing Items). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the foregoing, the making of any Delayed Advance shall be conditioned on Lender’s receipt of reasonably acceptable Title Insurance Policies for each of the Properties and the payment of all title costs (to the extent any amounts reserved by the title company, if any, are insufficient for paying the premiums for the Title Insurance Policies and other title costs and fees) and Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs (including attorney’s fees) incurred in connection with the origination of the Loan and/or the making of a Delayed Advance, as the case may be.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, on or prior to March 31, 2016, Borrower may deliver one or more supplements to the Exception Report (collectively, the “Supplemental Exception Report”) which may supplement, modify or correct the Exception Report and each such Supplemental Exception Report shall be deemed to have been a part of the Exception Report as in effect on the Closing Date, provided that, following the delivery of any such Supplemental Exception Report, Lender shall have the right (in its sole but reasonable discretion) to require Borrower to substitute one or more of the Properties pursuant to Section 2.2 on the basis of the information contained in any such Supplemental Exception Report or the Exception Report. For the avoidance of doubt, the disclosure of any fact or state of affairs on the Exception Report or any Supplemental Exception Report shall not in any way limit Lender’s right to require Borrower to substitute one or more Properties with one or more Substitution Properties pursuant to this Section 2.2.

(c) If Lender shall receive comments to any Mortgage from local counsel in connection with the delivery of the opinions delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(b), or from the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policies, in each case, regarding the enforceability, validity, effectiveness or insurability of such Mortgage, Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in the preparation, execution and recording of any amendments to such Mortgages necessitated by such comments and the delivery of an appropriate mortgage modification endorsement to the applicable Title Insurance Policy, all at Borrower’s sole cost and expense. In addition, Lender and Borrower acknowledge and agree that the legal descriptions attached to the Mortgages delivered as of the Closing Date may not be up to date, and such legal descriptions shall be amended as necessary to conform to the legal descriptions in the Title Insurance Policies as and when delivered. In such event, an amendment or modification of the respective affected Mortgages shall be executed, acknowledged and recorded by the parties to substitute the amended legal description as contained in the Title Insurance Policies and an appropriate mortgage modification endorsement to the applicable Title Insurance Policy shall be obtained, all at the sole cost and expense of Borrower. In addition, if any Environmental Report delivered to Lender shall recommend the performance of a Phase II Environmental Report other than by virtue of the existence of SAC Conditions, at Lender’s request, Borrower shall promptly obtain such assessment with respect to the applicable Property if (1) Lender has requested a Phase II Environmental Report with respect to the applicable Property, (2) no then-identified Substitution Property or Substitution Properties have a value equal to or greater than the value of the Property for which such request has been made, as determined by reference to the Appraisals delivered to Lender pursuant to this Agreement, and (3) either (x) Borrower has not proposed one or more Substitution Properties to be added to the list of Substitution Properties (pursuant to the proviso of the definition of “Substitution Properties”) that have a value equal to or greater than the value of the Property for which such request has been made or (y) Borrower has made such a proposal and Lender has reasonably rejected the same; provided, however, if Lender shall have the right to require the delivery of a Phase II Environmental Report with respect to any Property pursuant to this sentence, to the extent practicable based on the recommendations of a reputable environmental engineer, any investigation of the Property in connection with the creation of such report shall be limited only to the portions of the Property as may be reasonably necessary to address the recommendations contained in the related Phase I Environmental Report, other than recommendations related to SAC Conditions.

Section 2.2. Substitution Properties.

(a) In the event that information received by Lender in connection with the Exception Report, delivery of any Supplemental Exception Report or the satisfaction of any Post-Closing Item (whether with respect to a Property or a Substitution Property) shall result in the determination by Lender in its sole but reasonable discretion that (i) any material representation in this Agreement with respect to any Property or Substitution Property is untrue (notwithstanding the inclusion of any fact or state of affairs on the Exception Report), provided that, solely for the purposes of this clause (i), any reference to the term “Material Adverse Effect” in any representation in this Agreement shall be deemed to be replaced with “Property Material Adverse Effect”, (ii) any Property or Substitution Property does not constitute acceptable Collateral for the Loan (other than solely by virtue of the existence of SAC Conditions), including by reason of anything contained in any Lease or Material Agreement delivered to Lender (either prior to or after the Closing Date), the results of any searches with

respect to the Borrower or the Properties received by Lender or any exception contained in the Exception Report or any Supplemental Exception Report or (iii) if Borrower does not provide a Phase II Environmental Report with respect to any Property or Substitution Property following a request by Lender to provide such Phase II Environmental Report (if obtaining such a Phase II Environmental Report is indicated by a Phase I Environmental Report with respect to such Property or Substitution Property for any reason other than the existence of SAC Conditions), then, in each such case, Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require that the applicable Property or Substitution Property be replaced by a Substitution Property, which Substitution Property may be selected by Borrower (but subject to Lender’s reasonable approval) so long as (1) such Substitution Property has a value no less than the value of the Property being replaced, as determined by reference to the final Appraisals for both such Substitution Property and the Property being replaced, in each case, delivered to Lender pursuant to this Agreement (which final Appraisals, for the avoidance of doubt, shall reflect matters contained in the Title Insurance Policies as reasonably requested by Lender) and (2) Borrower shall certify that each of the representations in Article III hereof are true with respect to the applicable Substitution Property (collectively, the “Replacement Qualifications”), subject to any exceptions to such representations contained in any such certification (which exceptions shall be deemed to be a part of the Exception Report); provided, however, the Replacement Qualifications shall not be deemed satisfied if Lender shall reasonably determine that such exceptions to such representations are not acceptable and provided, further that Lender may exercise its rights to require that a Property or Substitution Property be replaced by a Substitution Property pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) only until 120 days following full satisfaction by Borrower of the Post-Closing Items with respect to such Property or Substitution Property. If Borrower is required to replace one or more Properties pursuant to this Section 2.2(a), (A) any individual Property may be replaced by multiple Substitution Properties, so long as the aggregate value of such Substitution Properties is no less than the value of the individual Property so replaced (in each case, based on the Appraisals delivered to Lender pursuant to this Agreement) and (B) up to two Properties may be replaced by a single Substitution Property, so long as the value of such Substitution Properties is no less than the aggregate value of the Properties so replaced (in each case, based on the Appraisals delivered to Lender pursuant to this Agreement).

(b) In addition to the election by Lender to require a Property to be replaced by a Substitution Property pursuant to Section 2.2(a), (i) if the aggregate valuation of the Properties constituting Collateral based on final Appraisals delivered to Lender (which final Appraisals, for the avoidance of doubt, shall reflect matters contained in the Title Insurance Policies as reasonably requested by Lender) pursuant to this Agreement following delivery of such Appraisals pursuant to Section 2.1 or on the date of any Delayed Advance (including any Property for which Borrower is delivering a new Mortgage in connection with any such Delayed Advance) is less than 140% of the Principal Indebtedness, Borrower shall (at its option) either replace one or more Properties with one or more Substitution Properties or another real property owned by Borrower or any affiliate of Borrower (a “New Property”) or add as additional Collateral one or more Substitution Properties or a New Property selected by Borrower, in each case, that satisfies the Replacement Qualifications, such that following such replacement or addition the appraised value of the Properties is at least 140% of the Principal Indebtedness; and (ii) Borrower may until the 75^th day following the Closing Date replace a Property with one or more Substitution Properties or a New Property, in each case that satisfies the Replacement Qualifications; provided, however, that Borrower may not replace a Property pursuant to the

foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) if such Property is the subject of a Transfer in connection with such replacement or is the subject of an executed agreement or letter of intent pursuant to which Borrower or any of its affiliates intends to Transfer such Property.

(c) In connection with any replacement of a Property by a Substitution Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (w) Borrower shall satisfy the Replacement Qualifications, (x) Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in executing and recording a Mortgage securing the applicable Substitution Property and shall provide to Lender such other then-existing information and documentation in Borrower’s possession or control with respect to such Substitution Property as was provided to Lender in connection with the other Properties, together with all documentation and information necessary to satisfy each of the items in Section 2.3 and (y) upon the recordation of a Mortgage securing such Substitution Property, Lender shall fully release of record the Property being so replaced from the Lien of the applicable Mortgage in accordance with Section 1.5. In the case of clause (i) of the first sentence of Section 2.2(a), such replacement shall constitute the sole remedy of Lender for such misrepresentation, so long as Borrower did not intentionally cause such misrepresentation to occur. Notwithstanding anything herein, it shall be a condition to any replacement of a Property with a Substitution Property (or a New Property) that Lender shall have received final Appraisals for such replaced Property and Substitution Property (or New Property, as applicable) that in each case is dated within 90 days of the replacement of such Property.

(a) Title. Lender shall have received a marked, signed commitment to issue, or a signed pro-forma version of, a Title Insurance Policy in respect of each Property, listing only such exceptions as are reasonably satisfactory to Lender, subject to all Permitted Encumbrances (with the exception of clause (ii)(A) thereof). If any Title Insurance Policy is to be issued by, or if disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan are to be made through, an agent of the actual insurer under such Title Insurance Policy (as opposed to the insurer itself), the actual insurer shall have issued to Lender for Lender’s benefit a so-called “Insured Closing Letter.”

(b) Opinion of Local Counsel. Lender shall have received, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, a legal opinion as to the enforceability of each Mortgage under the laws of the state in which the applicable individual Property is located, the good standing, foreign qualification, valid existence or other comparable concept under applicable law of the applicable Borrower in such state and the other matters described in the form local counsel opinion delivered to Borrower as of the Closing Date (it being understood that the formulation of such opinions shall be subject to the policies of the counsel providing such opinions and qualifications required by the various jurisdictions in which the Properties are located).

(c) Lien Search Reports.

(vii) shall not contain provisions that would make Lender liable for any insurance premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder;

(viii) shall contain a waiver of subrogation against Lender, as applicable;

(ix) may be in the form of a blanket or umbrella policy; and

(x) shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and shall contain such other provisions as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to protect its interests; provided, that nothing in this clause (x) shall require Borrower to obtain types of coverage that it does not typically carry, or coverage in an amount greater than it typically carries, each case in the ordinary course of its business.

(c) Borrower shall pay the premiums for all Policies as the same become due and payable. Complete copies of such Policies shall be delivered to Lender reasonably promptly upon request. Not later than 30 days prior to the expiration date of each Policy, Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Lender, of its renewal. Borrower shall reasonably promptly forward to Lender a copy of each written notice received by Borrower of any modification, reduction or cancellation of any of the Policies or of any of the coverages afforded under any of the Policies.

(d) Borrower shall not procure any other insurance coverage that would be on the same level of payment as the Policies or would adversely impact in any way the ability of Lender or Borrower to collect any proceeds under any of the Policies, unless the foregoing provisions (a)-(c) are applicable to such other insurance coverage. If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all Policies are in full force and effect when and as required hereunder, upon notice to Borrower Lender shall have the right to take such reasonable action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Properties, including the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate (but limited to the coverages and amounts required hereunder). All premiums, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

(e) Borrower or Guarantor shall provide Lender with at least 30 days’ prior written notice of cancellation by Borrower or Guarantor or any of their respective affiliates of any property insurance policies relating to any Property.

(f) Borrower shall have the right to replace any Policy with one or more additional Policies providing substantially similar or better coverage.

Section 4.13. Casualty and Condemnation.

(a) Upon learning thereof, Borrower shall give reasonably prompt notice to Lender of any Casualty or Condemnation or of the actual or threatened commencement of proceedings that would result in a Condemnation.

(b) Lender may participate in any proceedings for any taking by any public or quasi-public authority accomplished through a Condemnation or any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of a Condemnation, to the extent permitted by law. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments reasonably requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Borrower shall not consent or agree to a Condemnation or action in lieu thereof without the prior written consent of Lender in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned in the case of a taking of an immaterial portion of any Property.

(c) Lender may (x) jointly with Borrower settle and adjust any insurance claims, (y) following the commencement of a foreclosure action, settle and adjust any insurance claims without the consent or cooperation of Borrower, or (z) allow Borrower to settle and adjust any insurance claims; except that if no Event of Default is continuing, Borrower may settle and adjust such claims aggregating not in excess of the Threshold Amount if such settlement or adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, but Lender, at its election, shall be entitled to collect and receive (as set forth below) any and all Loss Proceeds. The reasonable expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of Loss Proceeds shall become part of the Indebtedness and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender upon demand therefor.

(d) All Loss Proceeds from any Casualty or Condemnation shall be immediately deposited into an account under the sole dominion and control of Lender. So long as no Event of Default exists and is continuing, Loss Proceeds after receipt thereof by Lender and reimbursement of any reasonable expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith shall be applied promptly to the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding such Property or part thereof subject to the Casualty or Condemnation, in the manner set forth below (and Borrower shall commence, as promptly and diligently as practicable, to prosecute such restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding of such Property in a workmanlike fashion and in accordance with applicable law to a status at least equivalent to the quality and character of such Property immediately prior to the Condemnation or Casualty). Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be then continuing, Lender shall disburse such Loss Proceeds to Borrower upon Lender’s being furnished with (i) evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the estimated cost of completion of the restoration, (ii) if the cost of completion of the restoration plus payment of debt service on the Loan during the period of restoration exceeds the amount then contained in the Loss Proceeds Account, funds in an amount equal to such excess, which funds shall be remitted into the Loss Proceeds Account as additional Collateral for the Loan, and (iii) such architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey and such other evidences of cost, payment and performance as Lender may reasonably request; and Lender may, in any event, require that all plans and specifications for restoration reasonably estimated by Lender to exceed the Threshold Amount be

submitted to and approved by Lender prior to commencement of work (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). If Lender reasonably estimates that the cost to restore will exceed the Threshold Amount, Lender may retain a local construction consultant to inspect such work and review Borrower’s request for payments and Borrower shall, on demand by Lender, reimburse Lender for the reasonable fees and expenses of such consultant (which fees and expenses shall constitute Indebtedness). No payment shall exceed 90% of the value of the work performed from time to time until such time as 50% of the restoration (calculated based on the anticipated aggregate cost of the work) has been completed, and thereafter, 100% of the value of the work shall be disbursed, and amounts retained prior to completion of 50% of the restoration shall not be paid prior to the final completion of the restoration. Funds other than Loss Proceeds shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such Loss Proceeds, and at all times the undisbursed balance of such proceeds remaining in the Loss Proceeds Account, together with any additional funds irrevocably and unconditionally deposited therein or irrevocably and unconditionally committed 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, subject to all Permitted Encumbrances.

(e) Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Loss Proceeds lawfully or equitably payable to Lender in connection with the Properties. Lender shall be reimbursed for any expenses reasonably incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and, if reasonably necessary to collect such proceeds, the expense of an Appraisal on behalf of Lender) out of such Loss Proceeds or, if insufficient for such purpose, by Borrower.

Section 4.14. Compliance with Encumbrances and Material Agreements. Borrower covenants and agrees as follows:

(i) Borrower shall comply with all material terms, conditions and covenants of each Material Agreement and each material Permitted Encumbrance, including any reciprocal easement agreement, ground lease, declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions, and any condominium arrangements.

(ii) Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a true and complete copy of each and every notice of default or event of default received by Borrower with respect to any obligation of Borrower under the provisions of any Material Agreement and/or Permitted Encumbrance.

(iii) Borrower shall deliver to Lender copies of any written notices of default or event of default relating to any Material Agreement and/or Permitted Encumbrance served by Borrower.

(iv) Without the prior written consent of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Borrower shall not grant or withhold any material consent, approval or waiver under any Material Agreement or Permitted Encumbrance, unless no Event of Default is continuing and the same is not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(v) Borrower shall deliver to each other party to any Permitted Encumbrance and any Material Agreement notice of the identity of Lender and each assignee of Lender of which Borrower is aware if such notice is required under the terms of such Material Agreement or Permitted Encumbrance in order to protect Lender’s interest thereunder.

(vi) Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to enforce, short of termination thereof, the performance and observance of each and every material term, covenant and provision of each Material Agreement and Permitted Encumbrance to be performed or observed, if any, if and to the extent the failure to do so would have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.15. FATCA. If a payment made to the Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to such Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower as may be necessary for such Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that the Lender has complied with the Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

(b) Borrower shall not engage in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code, or substantially similar provisions under federal, state or local laws, rules or regulations or in any transaction that would cause any obligation or action taken or to be taken hereunder (or the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Notes, this Agreement, the Mortgages or any other Loan Document) to be a non-exempt prohibited transaction under such provisions assuming that the source of the funds for the Loan by Lender does not constitute Plan Assets.

Borrower shall not perform, undertake, contract to perform or consent to any Material Alteration without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent (in the absence of the continuation of an Event of Default) shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, but may be conditioned on the delivery of additional collateral in the form of cash or cash equivalents acceptable to Lender in respect of the amount by which any such Material Alteration exceeds the Threshold Amount. If Lender’s consent is requested hereunder with respect to a Material Alteration, Lender may retain a construction consultant to review such request and, if such request is granted, Lender may retain a construction consultant to inspect the work from time to time. Borrower shall, on demand by Lender, reimburse Lender for the reasonable fees and disbursements of such consultant.

DEFAULTS

Section 6.1. Event of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall be, and shall constitute the commencement of, an “Event of Default” hereunder (any Event of Default that has occurred shall continue unless and until waived by Lender in writing in its sole discretion):

(a) Payment.

(i) Borrower shall default in the payment when due of any principal or interest owing hereunder or under the Notes (including any mandatory prepayment required hereunder); or

(ii) Borrower shall default, and such default shall continue for at least five Business Days after notice to Borrower that such amounts are owing, in the payment when due of fees, expenses or other amounts owing to Lender hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents (other than principal and interest).

(b) Representations. Any representation made by Borrower in any of the Loan Documents, or in the Officer’s Certificate shall have been false or misleading in any material respect (or, with respect to any representation that itself contains a materiality qualifier, in any respect) as of the date such representation was made; provided, however, if the falsity of any such representation is first determined by information received by Borrower or Lender in connection with the satisfaction of any Post-Closing Item or delivery of a Substitution Exception Report, and Borrower did not have actual knowledge of such falsity as of the Closing Date, the same shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder (and the replacement of the applicable Property with a Substitution Property shall constitute Lender’s exclusive remedy for such falsity of such representation), unless Borrower fails to cooperate with Lender in providing a Substitution Property pursuant to Section 2.2.

(c) Other Loan Documents. Any Loan Document shall fail to be in full force and effect or to convey the material Liens, rights, powers and privileges purported to be created thereby and Borrower shall fail to promptly remedy such failure in accordance with Section 4.9.

(i) Any Borrower or Guarantor shall commence a voluntary case concerning itself under any Title of the United States Code concerning bankruptcy or insolvency (as amended, modified, succeeded or replaced, from time to time, the “Bankruptcy Code”);

(ii) any Borrower or Guarantor shall commence any other proceeding under any reorganization, arrangement, adjustment of debt, relief of creditors, dissolution, insolvency or similar law of any jurisdiction whether now or hereafter in effect relating to such Borrower or Guarantor, or shall dissolve or otherwise cease to exist;

(iv) any Borrower or Guarantor is adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt by a court of competent jurisdiction;

(v) any Borrower or Guarantor suffers appointment of any custodian or the like for it or for any substantial portion of its property and such appointment continues unchanged or unstayed for a period of 90 days after commencement of such appointment;

(vi) any Borrower or Guarantor makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

(vii) any Borrower or Guarantor takes any action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing.

(e) Prohibited Change of Control. A Prohibited Change of Control shall occur.

(f) Insurance. Borrower shall fail to maintain in full force and effect all Policies required hereunder.

(g) Negative Covenants. A default shall occur in the due performance or observance by Borrower of any term, covenant or agreement contained in Article V, provided that such default shall not constitute an Event of Default unless and until it shall remain uncured for 30 days after Borrower receives written notice thereof.

(h) Legal Requirements. Borrower shall fail to cure properly any violations of Legal Requirements affecting all or any portion of any Property that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect within 30 days after Borrower first receives written notice of any such violations; provided, however, if any such violation is reasonably susceptible of cure, but not within such 30 day period, then Borrower shall be permitted up to an additional 30 days to cure such violation provided that Borrower commences a cure within such initial 30 day period and thereafter diligently and continuously pursues such cure.

(i) Other Covenants. A default shall occur in the due performance or observance by Borrower of any material term, covenant or agreement (other than those referred to in any other subsection of this Section or those, if any, that expressly provide for a notice and cure period other than as set forth in this clause (i)) contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, except that in the case of a default that can be cured by the payment of money, such default shall not constitute an Event of Default unless and until it shall remain uncured for 10 days after Borrower receives written notice thereof; and in the case of a default that cannot be cured by the payment of money but is susceptible of being cured within 30 days, such default shall not constitute an Event of Default unless and until it remains uncured for 30 days after Borrower receives written notice thereof, provided that if such non-monetary default is not cured within such 30 day period despite Borrower’s diligent efforts but is susceptible of being cured within 90 days of Borrower’s receipt of Lender’s original notice, then Borrower shall have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to effect such cure, but in no event in excess of 90 days from Borrower’s receipt of Lender’s original notice, provided that Borrower promptly delivers written notice to Lender of its intention and ability to effect such cure prior to the expiration of such 90 day period.

Section 6.2. Remedies.

(a) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may by written notice to Borrower, in addition to any other rights or remedies available pursuant to this Agreement, the Notes, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, at law or in equity, declare by written notice to Borrower all or any portion of the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable, whereupon all or such portion of the Indebtedness shall so become due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower and the Collateral (including all rights or remedies available at law or in equity); provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(d) shall occur, then (except as specified in Section 6.2(f) below) the Indebtedness shall immediately become due and payable without the giving of any notice or other action by Lender. Any actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents.

(b) If Lender forecloses on any Collateral, Lender shall apply all net proceeds of such foreclosure to repay the Indebtedness, the Indebtedness shall be reduced to the extent of such net proceeds and the remaining portion of the Indebtedness shall remain outstanding and secured by the remaining Collateral. At the election of Lender, the Notes shall be deemed to have been accelerated only to the extent of the net proceeds actually received by Lender with respect to the Properties and applied in reduction of the Indebtedness.

(c) During the continuance of any Event of Default (including an Event of Default resulting from a failure to satisfy the insurance requirements specified herein), Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder, take any action to cure such Event of Default. Lender may enter upon any or all of the Properties upon reasonable notice to Borrower for such purposes or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Collateral or to foreclose the Mortgages or collect the Indebtedness. The costs and expenses incurred by Lender in exercising rights under this paragraph (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), with interest at the Default Rate for the period after notice from Lender that such costs or expenses were incurred to the date of payment to Lender, shall constitute a portion of the Indebtedness, shall be secured by the Mortgages and other Loan Documents and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand therefor.

(d) Interest shall accrue on any judgment obtained by Lender in connection with its enforcement of the Loan at a rate of interest equal to the Default Rate.

(e) Notwithstanding the availability of legal remedies, Lender will be entitled to obtain specific performance, mandatory or prohibitory injunctive relief, or other equitable relief requiring Borrower to cure or refrain from repeating any Default

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an event specified in Section 6.1(d) occurs solely in respect of Guarantor and not any Borrower, then such event shall not constitute an Event of Default or result in an acceleration of the Loan unless, in each case, Lender so determines in its sole discretion by written notice to Borrower.

(g) Upon the occurrence and 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 (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to execute the Severed Loan Documents (Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof); provided, however, that Lender shall not make or execute any such Severed Loan Documents under such power until the expiration of three days after written notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under the aforesaid power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents. The Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents, and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

Section 6.3. Application of Payments after an Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts received by Lender in respect of the Loan shall be applied at Lender’s sole discretion either toward the components of the Indebtedness (e.g., Lender’s expenses in enforcing the Loan, interest, principal and other amounts payable hereunder) and the Notes or Note Components in such sequence as Lender shall elect in its sole discretion, or toward the payment of Property expenses.

(c) Borrower and Guarantor shall, at their sole and cost and expense, if so requested by the Initial Lender, amend the Note and the other Loan Documents, to the extent necessary, to divide the Loan into multiple tranches (each of which may be evidenced by a separate Note), which tranches may be pari passu and/or senior/subordinate to one another and may bear different interest rates, so long as the weighted average of all such interest rates equals the Interest Rate (except following the application of principal during an Event of Default); provided, however, in connection with this Section 7.7(c), in no event shall Borrower or Guarantor be required to pay any commitment or other fee (other than any fees expressly

provided for in this Agreement), provide any additional security or modify any existing mortgage, deed of trust, or other security document, deliver or pay for any new Title Insurance Policies or endorsements to any new or existing Title Insurance Policies or incur additional liability or obligation whatsoever in connection with any Loan Transfer, other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, after a Loan Transfer, the transferring Lender (in addition to the Loan Transferee) shall continue to have the benefits of any indemnifications contained in this Agreement that such transferring Lender had prior to such Loan Transfer with respect to matters occurring prior to the date of such Loan Transfer. If, pursuant to this Section, any interest in this Agreement or any Note is transferred to any Loan Transferee, such Loan Transferee shall, promptly upon receipt of written request from Borrower, furnish to Borrower a Form W-9, Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI, as applicable.

(e) As a condition to any Loan Transfer, the applicable Loan Transferee shall expressly agree that the Initial Lender shall (i) serve as agent for such Loan Transferee with respect to the administration of the Loan, and (ii) be the sole party to whom notices, requests and other communications hereunder shall be required to be addressed and the sole party authorized to grant or withhold consents hereunder or take other actions contemplated by Section 7.3 on behalf of such Loan Transferee (subject, in each case, to (x) appointment of a Servicer, pursuant to Section 7.21, to receive such notices, requests and other communications and/or to grant or withhold consents, as the case may be and (y) any intercreditor, participation or co-lender arrangements among the Initial Lender and, if applicable, one or more Loan Transferees).

(f) Any Loan Transferee may, in its sole discretion, accept an interest rate lower than the Interest Rate, in which case, the amount payable by Borrower to such Loan Transferee hereunder as interest shall be commensurately reduced; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such acceptance of a lower interest rate by a Loan Transferee (i) shall not result in a reduction or other adjustment of the amounts payable by Borrower hereunder to any Initial Lender or any other Lender (and Borrower shall continue to pay interest to the Initial Lender and such other Lenders based on the Interest Rate, notwithstanding any such acceptance of a reduced interest rate by any Loan Transferee) and (ii) shall not result in a reduction in the amount payable by Borrower in respect of interest hereunder, to the extent that such Loan Transferee is accepting such lower interest rate to effectuate a senior/subordinate structure meeting the requirements of Section 7.7(c)(v). In addition, subject to the consent of each Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), any Loan Transferee may, in its sole discretion, agree to increase the Maximum Delayed Advance Amount, provided that (i) prior to such increase, the Initial Lender and each Loan Transferee are granted the right (but shall not have the obligation) to participate in such increase in the Maximum Delayed Advance Amount, (ii) only a Loan Transferee that has expressly agreed in writing to such increase in the Maximum Delayed Advance Amount shall be liable for funding such increased amount (and neither Initial Lender nor any other Lender shall have any liability for funding such increased amount), (iii) Borrower shall provide such additional Collateral for the Loan in respect of such increased Maximum Delayed Advance Amount as shall be necessary to maintain a loan-to- value ratio of the Loan that is no less than the loan-to-value ratio of the Loan immediately prior to any such increase (and such Collateral shall otherwise be reasonably acceptable to Initial

Lender and each other Lender) and (iv) such increased amount shall be subordinate to all other amounts payable by Borrower to Lender hereunder. Borrower and each Lender shall reasonably cooperate to amend the Loan Documents to effectuate the purposes of this clause (f), provided that any such amendment shall not increase the obligations and liabilities, or decrease the rights and remedies, of any Lender hereunder (except for the rights and obligations of any Lender that agrees, in its sole discretion, to accept a lower interest rate or increase the Maximum Delayed Advance Amount, and then, only to the extent necessary to effectuate the same).

(g) If following the Closing Date, one or more third-parties (in each case that is not an affiliate of Borrower or the Initial Lender) submits in writing to either Borrower or the Initial Lender an indication of interest that such third party is interested in purchasing an interest in the Loan, then the Initial Lender shall effect a Loan Transfer to such third party for such portion of the Loan; provided, that (x) the Initial Lenders shall be entitled to proceeds from such Loan Transfer equal to no less than the portion of the Loan subject to such Loan Transfer (together with any accrued and unpaid interest), (y) the Initial Lenders shall have the right to approve any potential Loan Transferee, the terms of such Loan Transfer and the documentation related thereto, in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (z) after giving effect to any Loan Transfer, one or both of the Initial Lenders and/or their respective affiliates shall hold, in the aggregate, no less than 40% of the Loan and the Note or Note Components evidencing the same.

Section 7.8. 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. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

Section 7.9. Preferences; Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. Lender shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the obligations of Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the Loan Documents. If any payment to Lender is 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 the obligations hereunder or portion thereof intended to be satisfied by such payment shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment had not been made. Borrower hereby waives any legal right otherwise available to Borrower that would require the sale of any Collateral either separate or apart from other Collateral, or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Collateral before proceeding against any other Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby waives and shall not assert any rights in respect of a marshalling of Collateral, a sale in the inverse order of alienation, any homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters

whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof in any sequence and any combination as determined by Lender in its sole discretion.

Section 7.10. Remedies of Borrower. If a claim is made that Lender or its agents have unreasonably delayed acting or acted unreasonably (including unreasonable refusal of, or unreasonable conditioning of, of any consent or approval of Lender required hereunder) in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents any of such Persons has an obligation to act promptly or reasonably, Borrower agrees that no such Person shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an action seeking specific performance, injunctive relief and/or declaratory judgment. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against Lender and/or its affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable Legal Requirement) arising out of, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any such claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Section 7.11. Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction for, any offsets, counterclaims or defenses. Borrower waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender arising out of or in any way connected with the Notes, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Indebtedness. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in the Loan shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses against the assigning Lender.

Section 7.12. No Joint Venture. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender, nor to grant Lender any interest in any Property other than that of mortgagee or lender.

Section 7.13. Conflict; Construction of Documents. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail. The parties acknowledge that they were each represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution 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 same.

Section 7.14. Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower represents that neither it nor Guarantor has dealt with any financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders (other than the Broker) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all

claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Indebtedness.

Section 7.15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Copies of originals, including copies delivered by facsimile, pdf or other electronic means shall have the same import and effect as original counterparts and shall be valid, enforceable and binding for the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 7.16. Estoppel Certificates.

(a) Borrower shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender, within five days after receipt of Lender’s written request therefor at any time from time to time, a statement in writing setting forth (A) the Principal Indebtedness, (B) the date on which installments of interest and/or principal were last paid, (C) any offsets or defenses to the payment of the Indebtedness, (D) that the Notes, this Agreement, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents are valid, legal and binding obligations and have not been modified or if modified, giving particulars of such modification and (E) that neither Borrower nor, to Borrower’s knowledge, Lender, is in default under the Loan Documents (or specifying any such default). Any Loan Transferee shall be permitted to rely on such certificate.

(b) Upon Lender’s written request, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from each Tenant and thereafter promptly deliver to Lender duly executed estoppel certificates from any one or more Tenants specified by Lender, attesting to such facts regarding the Leases as Lender may reasonably require, including attestations that each Lease covered thereby is in full force and effect with no material defaults thereunder on the part of any party, that rent has not been paid more than one month in advance, except as security, and that the Tenant claims no defense or offset against the full and timely performance of its obligations under the Lease.

Section 7.17. General Indemnity; Payment of Expenses.

(a) Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall protect, indemnify, reimburse, defend and hold harmless Lender and its officers, partners, members, directors, trustees, advisors, employees, agents, sub-agents, affiliates, successors, participants and assigns of any and all of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) for, from and against any and all Damages of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties, in any way relating to or arising out of Lender’s interest in the Loan; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder to the extent that such Damages have been found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.

(b) If for any reason (including violation of law or public policy) the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section are unenforceable in whole or in part or are otherwise unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold it harmless, then Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any Damages the maximum amount Borrower is permitted to pay under Legal Requirements. The obligations of Borrower under this Section will be in addition to any liability that Borrower may otherwise have hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

(c) To the extent any Indemnified Party has notice of a claim for which it intends to seek indemnification hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice thereof to Borrower, provided that failure by Lender to so notify Borrower will not relieve Borrower of its obligations under this Section, except to the extent that Borrower suffers actual prejudice as a result of such failure. In connection with any claim for which indemnification is sought hereunder, Borrower shall have the right to defend the applicable Indemnified Party (if requested by the applicable Indemnified Party, in the name of such Indemnified Party) from such claim by attorneys and other professionals reasonably approved by the applicable Indemnified Party. Upon assumption by Borrower of any defense pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Borrower shall have the right to control such defense, provided that the applicable Indemnified Party shall have the right to reasonably participate in such defense and Borrower shall not consent to the terms of any compromise or settlement of any action defended by Borrower in accordance with the foregoing without the prior consent of the applicable Indemnified Party, unless such compromise or settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of the applicable Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party. The applicable Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel if (i) Borrower shall have failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Indemnified Party in a timely manner, or (ii) the applicable Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there are actual or potential material conflicts of interest between Borrower and the applicable Indemnified Party, including situations in which there are one or more legal defenses available to the applicable Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to Borrower. So long as Borrower is conducting the defense of any action defended by Borrower in accordance with the foregoing in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner, Lender and the applicable Indemnified Party shall not compromise or settle such action defended without Borrower’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon demand, Borrower shall pay or, in the sole discretion of the applicable Indemnified Party, reimburse the applicable Indemnified Party for the payment of reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, engineers, environmental consultants, laboratories and other professionals retained by the applicable Indemnified Party in accordance with this Section in connection with defending any claim subject to indemnification hereunder.

(d) Any amounts payable to Lender by reason of the application of this Section shall be secured by the Mortgages and shall become immediately due and payable and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date Damages are sustained by the Indemnified Parties until paid.

(e) The provisions of and undertakings and indemnifications set forth in this Section shall survive the satisfaction and payment in full of the Indebtedness and termination of this Agreement.

(f) Borrower shall reimburse Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender (or any of its affiliates) in connection with the origination of the Loan (whether incurred before or after the Closing Date), including legal fees and disbursements, accounting fees, and the costs of the Engineering Reports, the Title Insurance Policies, the Surveys, the Environmental Reports and any other third-party diligence materials; (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender (or any of its affiliates) in connection with (A) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters relating hereto (including Leases, Material Agreements, and Permitted Encumbrances), (B) filing, registration and recording fees and expenses and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including the filing, registration or recording of any instrument of further assurance) and all stamp, court, recording, filing, documentary or other similar taxes (including, if applicable, intangible taxes), search fees, title insurance premiums, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, any mortgage supplemental thereto, any security instrument with respect to the Collateral or any instrument of further assurance (other than any such taxes or charges resulting from any present or former connection between Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such tax or charges (other than connections arising from the Lender having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to or enforced any Loan Document, or sold or assigned an interest in the Loan or any Loan Document)) and (C) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any Collateral; and (iii) all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred by Lender (or any of its affiliates) in connection with the enforcement of any obligations of Borrower, or a Default by Borrower, under the Loan Documents, including any actual or attempted foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, refinancing, restructuring, settlement, protective advance or workout and any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings (including any applicable transfer taxes).

Section 7.18. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower, and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender, Borrower and Indemnified Parties any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender, and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof, and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

Section 7.19. Right of Set-Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind (all of such rights being hereby expressly waived), set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by Lender (including branches, agencies or affiliates of Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against the obligations and liabilities of Borrower to Lender hereunder, under the Notes, the other Loan Documents or otherwise, irrespective of whether Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although such obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured, and any such set-off shall be deemed to have been made immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default even though such charge is made or entered on the books of Lender subsequent thereto.

Section 7.20. Exculpation of Lender. Lender neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower or any other party to select, review, inspect, examine, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrower or any third party of (a) the existence, quality, adequacy or suitability of Appraisals of the Properties or other Collateral, (b) any environmental report, or (c) any other matters or items, including engineering, soils and seismic reports that are contemplated in the Loan Documents. Any such selection, review, inspection, examination and the like, and any other due diligence conducted by Lender, is solely for the purpose of protecting Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents, and shall not render Lender liable to Borrower or any third party for the existence, sufficiency, accuracy, completeness or legality thereof.

Section 7.21. Servicer. Lender may delegate any and all rights and obligations of Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to the Servicer upon notice by Lender to Borrower, whereupon any notice or consent from the Servicer to Borrower, and any action by Servicer on Lender’s behalf, shall have the same force and effect as if Servicer were Lender.

Section 7.22. No Fiduciary Duty.

(a) Borrower acknowledges that, in connection with the Loan, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated thereby , Lender has relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial, legal, regulatory, accounting, tax and other information provided to, discussed with or reviewed by Lender for such purposes, and Lender does not assume any liability therefor or responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or independent verification thereof. Lender, its affiliates and their respective equityholders and employees (for purposes of this Section, the “Lending Parties”) have no obligation to conduct any independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities (including any contingent, derivative or off-balance sheet assets and liabilities) of Guarantor, Borrower or any other Person or any of their respective affiliates or to advise or opine on any related solvency or viability issues.

(b) It is understood and agreed that (i) the Lending Parties shall act under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as an independent contractor, (ii) the Loan, the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby represent an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Lending Parties, on the one hand, and Borrower, on the other, (iii) each Lending Party is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of Borrower, Guarantor or their respective affiliates, stockholders, employees or creditors or any other Person and (iv) nothing in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby shall be deemed to create (A) a fiduciary duty (or other implied duty) on the party of any Lending Party to Guarantor, Borrower, any of their respective affiliates, stockholders, employees or creditors, or any other Person or (B) a fiduciary or agency relationship between Guarantor, Borrower or any of their respective affiliates, stockholders, employees or creditors, on the one hand, and the Lending Parties, on the other. Borrower agrees that neither it nor Guarantor nor any of their respective affiliates shall make, and hereby waives, any claim against the Lending Parties based on an assertion that any Lending Party has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to Borrower, Guarantor or their respective affiliates, stockholders, employees or creditors. Nothing in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is intended to confer upon any other Person (including affiliates, stockholders, employees or creditors of Borrower and Guarantor) any rights or remedies by reason of any fiduciary or similar duty.

(c) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated thereby and the process leading thereto.

Section 7.23. Borrower Information. Borrower shall make available to Lender all information concerning its business and operations that Lender may reasonably request. Lender agrees that it shall maintain in confidence any information relating to Borrower, Guarantor, any of their subsidiaries, their businesses or the Properties furnished to it by or on behalf of Borrower, Guarantor or any of their subsidiaries; provided that Lender shall have the right to disclose any and all such information (i) to affiliates of Lender and to Lender’s agents and advisors (so long as each such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 7.23), (ii) to any actual or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation of all or any portion of the Loan or any participations therein and their respective advisors and agents, or to any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations, or to any Person that is a party to a repurchase agreement with respect to the Loan (so long as each such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 7.23) and (iii) to any governmental agency, if requested by such governmental agency or otherwise required to comply with the applicable rules and regulations of such governmental agency or if required pursuant to legal or judicial process. In addition, Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to Lender in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each party hereto (and each of their respective affiliates, employees, representatives or other agents) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and

tax structure of the Loan, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated thereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions and other tax analyses) that are provided to any such party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. For the purpose of this Section, “tax structure” means any facts relevant to the federal income tax treatment of the Loan, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated thereby but does not include information relating to the identity of any of the parties hereto or any of their respective affiliates.

Section 7.24. Prior Agreements. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS CONTAIN THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO IN RESPECT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY, AND ALL PRIOR AGREEMENTS AMONG OR BETWEEN SUCH PARTIES, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, INCLUDING ANY TERM SHEETS, CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENTS AND COMMITMENT LETTERS, ARE SUPERSEDED BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (EXCEPT THAT ANY ORIGINATION FEE SPECIFIED IN ANY TERM SHEET, COMMITMENT LETTER OR FEE LETTER SHALL BE AN OBLIGATION OF BORROWER AND SHALL BE PAID AT CLOSING, AND ANY INDEMNIFICATIONS, FLEX PROVISION, EXIT FEES AND THE LIKE PROVIDED FOR THEREIN SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING).

Section 7.25. Delay Not a Waiver. 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, under any other Loan Document, or under any other instrument given as security therefor, 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 hereunder or under any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

Section 7.26. Schedules and Exhibits Incorporated. The Schedules and Exhibits annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

Section 7.27. Joint and Several Liability. The representations, covenants, warranties and obligations of Borrower hereunder are joint and several. In the event of (a) any payment by any one or more of the Borrowers of any amount in excess of its respective Proportional Amount, or (b) the foreclosure of, or the delivery of deeds in lieu of foreclosure relating to, any of the Collateral owned by one or more of the Borrowers, each Borrower (the “Overpaying Borrower”) that has paid more than its Proportional Amount or whose Collateral or assets have been utilized to satisfy obligations under the Loan or otherwise for the benefit of one or more other Borrowers shall be entitled, after payment in full of the Indebtedness and the satisfaction of all the Borrowers’ other obligations to the Lender under the Loan Documents, to contribution from each of the benefited Borrowers (i.e., the Borrowers, other than the

Overpaying Borrower, who have paid less than their respective Proportional Amount or whose Collateral or assets have not been so utilized to satisfy obligations under the Loan) for the amounts so paid, advanced or benefited, up to such benefited Borrower’s then current Proportional Amount. Such right to contribution shall be subordinate in all respects to the Loan. As used herein, the “Proportional Amount” with respect to any Borrower shall equal the amount derived as follows: (a) the ratio of the aggregate amount of the Loan allocable to the Property or Properties in which such Borrower has an interest to the then outstanding Principal Indebtedness; times (b) the aggregate amount paid or payable by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents (including interest).

Section 7.28. Survival or Representations. All of the representations of Borrower set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents shall survive for so long as any portion of the Indebtedness is outstanding. All representations, covenants and agreements made by Borrower in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Lender notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by Lender or on its behalf.

Section 7.29. Certain Tax Forms. Upon request of Borrower, Lender shall provide to Borrower a duly completed and executed Form W-9, Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI, as applicable.
