THE LOAN

Section 2.1. Agreement to Lend and Borrow. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereby agree to make the Loan to Borrowers subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and Borrowers hereby agree to accept the Loan on the Closing Date. All amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Obligations shall be paid in full no later than the Maturity Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Loan is not a revolving loan facility, and any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may not be reborrowed. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the Loan has been fully funded on the Closing Date.

2.1.1. The Note. The Loan shall be evidenced by one or more promissory notes each dated as of the Closing Date, which in the aggregate equal the amount of the Loan executed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, jointly and severally, and payable to the order of each Lender (each, a “Note”). On the Closing Date, Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Lender a Note, payable to such Lender and its successor and assigns, in an amount equal to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s share of the Loan. Each Lender shall have the right to have its Note subdivided, by exchange for promissory notes of lesser denominations or otherwise. In the event that a Note is lost or misplaced, upon delivery of a lost note affidavit by such Lender (or its Custodian), Borrowers shall promptly execute and deliver a replacement Note to such Lender. The Note shall be issued with original issue discount in an amount equal to three percent (3.0%) of the stated principal amount of Loan (the “Original Issue Discount Amount”), payable in full upon the Closing Date without regard to amounts allocated for tax or other purposes. The Original Issue Discount Amount shall be deducted on Borrowers’ behalf by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ from the proceeds of the Loan made on the Closing Date.

2.1.2. Use of Proceeds. Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the Loan (a) to make deposits of the Reserve Funds, (b) to pay costs and expenses related to the closing of the Loan, including fees payable to Lenders and Collateral Agent, (c) to release any Lien encumbering the Collateral, (d) to pay any delinquent Property Taxes, HOA Fees and Other Charges, and (e) if any proceeds remain thereafter, for such lawful purpose as Borrowers shall determine.

2.1.3. Updated BPOs. Required Lenders shall have the right, from time to time, but in no event more frequently than once in any calendar year, at Borrowers’ expense, to obtain reviews (or reconciliations) of BPO Values from any of the Approved BPO Providers with respect to up to fifteen percent (15%) (by number) of the Properties (expressly excluding the Excess Collateral Properties). Any BPO Value discrepancies of greater than ten percent (10%) with respect to any reviewed Property may be provided to Borrowers for review. Borrowers may, at their option, accept the updated BPO Values for purposes of the definition of BPO Value or order a separate BPOs from another Approved BPO Provider not previously used for such Property by Borrowers or Lenders. In the event Borrowers elect to order a third BPO, the BPO Value shall be the average of the two lower values. If during any sampling, the aggregate value of all BPO Values of the sampled Properties is adjusted downward by more than ten percent (10%) pursuant to this Section 2.1.3, Required Lenders may, at Borrowers’ expense, increase the review sample size to one hundred percent (100%) of all Properties (expressly excluding the Excess Collateral Properties). In the event that BPO Values decline such that the Outstanding Principal Balance would exceed the Aggregate Collateral Value, Borrowers shall prepay the Loan in accordance with Section 2.4.2(a)(iv). In addition to, and not in limitation of, the foregoing, any BPO obtained after the initial BPO with respect to any Property collateralizing the Loan will be delivered to Lenders promptly following receipt by Borrowers regardless of purpose or purchaser of such BPO.

(b) Default Rate. For so long as any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance and all other portions of the Debt shall be calculated at the Default Rate. Interest at the Default Rate shall be paid immediately upon demand, which demand may be made as frequently as Required Lenders shall determine.

(c) Interest Calculation. Interest on the Loan and other Obligations shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the actual number of days in the Interest Period or other period for which the calculation is being made by (ii) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year (i.e., the Interest Rate expressed as an annual rate divided by 360) by (iii) (A) in the case of scheduled interest on the Loan payable on any Payment Date, the Outstanding Principal Balance; (B) in the case of interest payable in connection with a prepayment of any portion of the Loan principal, the amount of such principal being prepaid; and (C) in the case of other Obligations, the amount of such other Obligations.

(a) A Borrower may Transfer any Property (other than an Excess Collateral Property which is the subject of Section 2.5(b) below) (each, a “Release Property”), and Required Lenders shall direct Collateral Agent in writing to execute and deliver to such Borrower a release of Collateral Agent’s interest in the Release Property from the applicable Mortgage and a release of its Lien on any Collateral located at such Property and provide such Borrower, at such Borrower’s sole cost and expense, with any documents prepared by such Borrower and delivered to Collateral Agent and Lenders necessary to evidence the release of Collateral Agent’s Liens on such Release Property, if the following conditions are satisfied (the “Release Conditions”):

(i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of the relevant Transfer, other than if such Release Property is a Disqualified Property and each Qualified Release Property Default applicable to such Disqualified Property would be cured as a result of the release of the Disqualified Property;

(ii) the applicable Borrower shall submit to Lenders, not less than ten (10) nor more than thirty (30) days prior to the Transfer Date, a Request for Release, together with all attachments thereto and evidence reasonably satisfactory to Required Lenders that the Release Conditions will be satisfied upon the consummation of such Transfer; provided, however, that as to any release of a Disqualified Property to cure a Qualified Release Property Default, such notice shall be given within ten (10) Business Days after the occurrence of the first Qualified Release Property Default with respect to such Property, and the Transfer Date shall be not later than ten (10) Business Days thereafter;

(iii) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio as of the most recent Calculation Date, after giving pro forma effect for the elimination of the Underwritten Net Cash Flow for the applicable Release Property (if applicable) and reduction of Debt Service as calculated by Lender pursuant to this Section 2.5(d), is at least equal to the greater of (A) the Required DSCR and (B) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio as of the most recent Calculation Date;

(iv) the Release Property shall be Transferred to a Person who is not a Relevant Party or an Affiliate of a Relevant Party, pursuant to a bona fide all-cash sale on arms‑length terms and conditions; except that if the Transfer and release is to cure a Qualified Release Property Default, then the Release Property may be Transferred to a Person who is an Affiliate of Borrowers or Equity Owner but is not a direct or indirect subsidiary of either of them, for consideration then paid in cash equal to not less than the BPO Value of the Property, as determined by a BPO commissioned by Required Lenders;

(v) on the Transfer Date, the applicable Borrower shall pay to Lenders the applicable Release Amount together with the amounts required by Section 2.4.4, which aggregate amount shall be transferred directly to Lenders by the closing title company or escrow agent for the Transfer; for the avoidance of doubt, the applicable release Amount shall be zero for any Excess Collateral Property;

(vi) the applicable Borrower shall submit to Collateral Agent and Lenders not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior to the Transfer Date, a draft release for the applicable Mortgage (and, in the event the Mortgage applicable to the Release Property encumbers other Property(ies) in addition to the Release Property, such release shall be a partial release that relates only to the Release Property and does not affect the Liens and security interests encumbering or on the other Property(ies)) in form and substance appropriate for the jurisdiction in which the Release Property is located and which shall contain standard provisions protecting the rights of Collateral Agent and Lenders; and in addition, the applicable Borrower shall provide all other documentation of a ministerial or administrative nature that Collateral Agent or Required Lenders reasonably require to be delivered by such Borrower in connection with such release or assignment, and Collateral Agent, at the written direction of Required Lenders, at such Borrower’s sole cost and expense, shall deliver to the applicable Borrower all documents which such Borrower prepares and delivers to Collateral Agent and Lenders and which documents are necessary for the release of all Liens on the Release Properties;

(vii) the applicable Borrower shall pay all Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of Lenders, Collateral Agent and/or Servicer in connection with the release and, in addition, the current reasonable and customary fee being assessed by Servicer to effect the release; and

(i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of the relevant Transfer;

(ii) the applicable Borrower shall submit to Collateral Agent and Lenders not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior to the Transfer Date, a draft release for the applicable Mortgage (and, in the event the Mortgage applicable to the applicable Excess Collateral Property encumbers other Property(ies) in addition to the applicable Excess Collateral Property, such release shall be a partial release that relates only to the applicable Excess Collateral Property, and does not affect the Liens and security interests encumbering or on the other Property(ies)) in form and substance appropriate for the jurisdiction in which the applicable Excess Collateral Property is located and which shall contain standard provisions protecting the rights of Collateral Agent and Lenders; and in addition, the applicable Borrower shall provide all other documentation of a ministerial or administrative nature that Collateral Agent or Required Lenders reasonably require to be delivered by such Borrower in connection with such release or assignment, and Collateral Agent, at the written direction of Required Lenders, at such Borrower’s sole cost and expense, shall deliver to the applicable Borrower all documents which such Borrower prepares and delivers to Collateral Agent and Lenders and which documents are necessary for the release of all Liens on the applicable Excess Collateral Property;

(iii) the applicable Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of Lenders, Collateral Agent and/or Servicer in connection with the release and, in addition, the current reasonable and customary fee being assessed by Servicer to effect the release; and

(iv) no later than the close of business on the Transfer Date, the applicable Borrower shall provide written notice of the Transfer of the applicable Excess Collateral Property to Lenders.

If a Disqualified Property is released in accordance with the conditions set forth in this Section 2.5, then the release of such Property shall be deemed to cure each potential Event of Default that relates solely to such Disqualified Property (a “Qualified Release Property Default”).

Section 2.6. Increased Costs. If as a result of any Regulatory Change or compliance of a Lender therewith, the basis of taxation of payments to a Lender or any company in Control of a Lender of the principal of or interest on the Loan is changed or a Lender or the company in Control of a Lender shall be subject to (i) any Tax (other than Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; (ii) any reserve, special deposit, capital, liquidity or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit

or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities, of such Lender or any company in Control of such Lender is imposed, modified or deemed applicable; or (iii) any amount receivable by such Lender or any company in Control of such Lender hereunder in respect of any portion of the Loan to Borrowers is reduced, in each case by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender in good faith to be material (such increases in cost and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Increased Costs”), then such Lender shall provide notice thereof to Borrowers and Borrowers agree that Borrowers will, jointly and severally, pay to such Lender within ten (10) Business Days following such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s written request such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or any company in Control of such Lender for such Increased Costs to the extent such Lender reasonably determines that such Increased Costs are allocable to the Loan; provided, that such Lender seeks equivalent payments on a generally uniform basis from all similarly situated borrowers and extensions of credit. If a Lender requests compensation under this Section 2.6, such Lender shall, if requested by notice by Borrowers to such Lender, furnish to Borrowers a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof; provided, that in any event such Lender’s method for determining any amount payable to such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be substantially similar to the method used by such Lender in implementing similar provisions for similarly situated borrowers and extensions of credit.

Section 2.7. Taxes.

2.7.1. Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrowers under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Legal Requirements. If any Legal Requirement (as determined in the good faith discretion of Borrowers) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by Borrowers, then Borrowers shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Legal Requirements and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrowers shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.7) each Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

2.7.2. Indemnification by Borrowers. Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each Lender, within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.7) payable or paid by such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender and any reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. If Borrowers have reimbursed such Lender for the amount withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender and such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ later receives reimbursement from the relevant Governmental Authority of such indemnified amount, then such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall credit the amount reimbursed to the Debt, if any part of the Debt is outstanding at such time.

2.7.3. Payment of Indemnified Taxes.

(a) Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, pay (i) to the applicable Governmental Authority as and when due all Indemnified Taxes, in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, and (ii) to each applicable Lender, within ten (10) Business Days after written request by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇, all other

Indemnified Taxes. Promptly following written request by a Lender, Borrowers shall deliver to such Lender evidence, reasonably satisfactory to such Lender, of payment of Indemnified Taxes.

(b) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Taxes with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrowers, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrowers, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrowers as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, a Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrowers shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements or reasonably requested by Borrowers as will enable Borrowers to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.7.3(b)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrowers on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrowers), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrowers (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrowers), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Taxes pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Taxes pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate in such form as requested by Borrowers to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of a Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner or is a partnership, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate and/or other certification documents in such form as requested by Borrowers, from or on behalf of each beneficial owner, or IRS Form W-9;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrowers (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Taxes, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements to permit Borrowers to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed by FATCA if such 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 Borrowers at the time or times prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrowers such documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrowers as may be necessary for Borrowers to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has complied with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrowers in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(d) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.7.3 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.7.3), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (d) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (d), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (d) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Taxes subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Taxes had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(e) For purposes of this Section 2.7.3, the term “applicable Legal Requirements” includes FATCA.

2.7.4. Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.7 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Lenders shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. Net Proceeds from a Condemnation shall be applied as follows:

(a) If a partial Condemnation of a Property does not interfere with the use of such Property as a residential rental property (as determined by Required Lenders), then the Net Proceeds thereof paid by the condemning authority shall be applied to the prepayment of the Debt in accordance with Section 2.4.2(a)(ii).

Borrower has delivered to Collateral Agent and Lenders a draft release (and, in the event the Mortgage applicable to the Fully Condemned Property encumbers other Property(ies) in addition to the Fully Condemned Property, such release (i) shall be a partial release that relates only to the Fully Condemned Property, (ii) shall be in form and substance appropriate for the jurisdiction in which such Fully Condemned Property is located, (iii) shall contain standard provisions protecting the rights of Collateral Agent and Lenders, and (iv) shall not affect the Liens and security interests encumbering or on the other Property(ies)) and (B) such Borrower shall file and record such release and shall pay all costs, Taxes and expenses associated with such release (including cost to file and record the release and Collateral Agent’s and Lenders’ reasonable attorneys’ fees) and (y) Required Lenders shall direct Collateral Agent in writing to cause Cash Management Account Bank to disburse to the applicable Borrower the Net Proceeds paid by the condemning authority and held in the Cash Management Account in excess of the Fully Condemned Property Prepayment Amount for such Property; provided that, during the continuance of a Trigger Period, such excess Net Proceeds shall instead be delivered to the Cash Collateral Reserve and disbursed in accordance with Section 7.3.7.

In lieu of complying with the provisions set forth above, not later than thirty (30) days after the occurrence of any Condemnation, the applicable Borrower may prepay the portion of the Loan allocated to the Property which suffered such Condemnation together with accrued and unpaid interest on such portion of the Loan but without any Yield Maintenance Premium.

Section 2.4.2(a)(ii) in an amount equal to the Release Amount for the applicable Property, together with interest and other amounts required to be paid in connection therewith under Section 2.4.4 (collectively, the “Casualty Prepayment Amount”), (iv) the applicable Borrower shall prepay the Loan in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Casualty Prepayment Amount over such Net Proceeds, and (v) following such Borrower’s written request after receipt by Lenders of the Casualty Prepayment Amount, (x) Required Lenders shall direct Collateral Agent in writing to execute and deliver to the applicable Borrower a release prepared by such Borrower to release the affected Properties from the applicable Mortgages and related Liens, provided that (A) the applicable Borrower has delivered to Collateral Agent and Lenders draft releases (and, in the event any of the Mortgages applicable to any of the affected Properties encumber other Property(ies) in addition to the affected Properties, such release shall (i) be a partial release that relates only to the affected Property(ies), (ii) be in form and substance appropriate for the jurisdiction in which such Property(ies) is located, (iii) contain standard provisions protecting the rights of Collateral Agent and Lenders and (iv) not affect the Liens and security interests encumbering or on the other Properties), and (B) the applicable Borrower shall file and record such release and pay all costs, Taxes and expenses associated with such release (including cost to file and record the release and the reasonable attorneys’ fees of Collateral Agent’s and Lenders’ counsel) and (y) Required Lenders shall direct Collateral Agent in writing to cause Cash Management Account Bank to disburse to the applicable Borrower the Net Proceeds paid by the applicable insurance company and held by or for the benefit of Lender in excess of the Casualty Prepayment Amount for such Property; provided that, during the continuance of a Trigger Period, such excess Net Proceeds shall instead be delivered to the Cash Collateral Reserve and disbursed in accordance with Section 7.3.7.

(d) If a Borrower is required to conduct the Restoration of affected Properties under Section 6.4(a) or (b) then (i) such Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than ninety (90) days after such Casualty occurs) and shall diligently pursue the Restoration to satisfactory completion; (ii) such Borrower shall cause the affected Property and the use thereof after the Restoration to be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements and such Property, after Restoration, shall be of the same character as prior to such damage or destruction; (iii) the Restoration shall be done and completed by such Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and (iv) such Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lenders a signed detailed budget approved in writing by such Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be reasonably acceptable to Required Lenders. If at any time the Net Proceeds or the unused portion thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Required Lenders, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by Required Lenders to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, the applicable Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) into the Cash Management Account before any further use or disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency shall be deposited into the Casualty and Condemnation Reserve and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(e), and until so disbursed, shall constitute additional security for the Obligations.

(e) If a Borrower is required to conduct the Restoration of affected Properties under Section 6.4(b), then Required Lenders may impose such reasonable requirements on the use or expenditure of Net Proceeds as Required Lenders may require, in accordance with Required Lenders’ standard construction lending practices or in any other manner approved by Required Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Required Lenders may, at their option, condition disbursement of Net Proceeds

on (i) delivery of an Expenditures Certificate reasonably satisfactory to Required Lenders, (ii) completion of a property inspection reasonably satisfactory to Required Lenders, (iii) Lender’s approval of plans and specifications of an architect satisfactory to Required Lenders; (iv) the identity, experience, reputation and financial condition of contractors and subcontractors; (v) contractor’s cost estimates; (vi) architect’s certificates; (vii) waivers of Liens; (viii) sworn statements of mechanics and materialmen and such other evidence of costs; (ix) percentage completion of construction; (x) frequency of disbursements; (xi) application of payments; (xii) customary retainage and satisfaction of Liens, in each case, as Required Lenders may reasonably require. The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited in the Cash Management Account after the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(e), and the receipt by Lenders of evidence satisfactory to Required Lenders that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted to the applicable Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing.

(f) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, (i) in the event that a single Casualty causes damage or destruction to one Property which would cost more than such Property’s Allocated Loan Amount to restore or repair such Property, written consent of Required Lenders shall be required prior to any restoration or repair of such Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and (ii) in the event that a single Casualty causes damage or destruction to any part of two or more Properties which in the aggregate would cost more than Two Hundred Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($200,000.00) to restore or repair, written consent of Required Lenders shall be required prior to any restoration or repair of such Properties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(g) All reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lenders in connection with any Restoration including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, shall be paid by Borrowers within ten (10) days of Required Lenders’ written request therefor.

Section 6.5. Insurance Proceeds and Awards. Each Borrower shall cooperate with Lenders, in accordance with this Agreement, to enable Lenders to receive the benefits of any Insurance Proceeds or Awards payable in connection with any Property, and Lenders shall be reimbursed for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and the payment by the applicable Borrower of the reasonable expense of an Approved BPO Provider on behalf of Lenders in case of Casualty or Condemnation affecting any Property or any part thereof) out of such Insurance Proceeds or Awards.

Article 7

CASH MANAGEMENT; SECURITY INTEREST; RESERVES

Section 7.1. Cash Management Arrangements.

7.1.1. Cash Management Account. Borrowers will cooperate with Lenders’ opening, maintaining, and, if Required Lenders so elect, changing, a Cash Management Account, which shall be an Eligible Account as to which Borrowers, Collateral Agent and the Cash Management Account Bank shall have entered into a Cash Management Agreement. The Cash Management Account shall be under the sole control and dominion of Collateral Agent for the benefit of Lenders, with Class A Lender designated as the “directing lender” thereunder, and none of Borrowers nor Manager shall have any right of access thereto or to withdraw funds therefrom. Each Borrower covenants and agrees, upon demand of Required Lenders, to pay (or if applicable reimburse Lenders for) any and all amounts that Lenders may be obligated to pay, or shall have paid, to the Cash Management Account Bank pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Cash Management Agreement. Funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall be applied and disbursed in accordance with this Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement. All funds in the Cash Management Account (including any Reserves) shall be held in cash or may be invested in Permitted Investments. During the continuance of an Event of Default, all funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account may be applied by Lenders in such order and priority as Required Lenders shall determine.

7.1.2. Operating Account and Rent Deposit Account.

(a) Borrower shall establish and at all times maintain the Operating Account, which shall be an Eligible Account in Borrower’s name. Borrower shall, or shall cause Manager to, establish and at all times maintain, the Rent Deposit Account, which shall be an Eligible Account in Borrower’s name as to which Borrower, Collateral Agent and the Rent Deposit Account Bank shall have executed and delivered a Rent Deposit Account Control Agreement.

(b) Each Borrower shall cause all payments of Rents from Tenants at its respective Properties to be remitted into the applicable Rent Deposit Account within three (3) Business Days of receipt from Tenants. Each Borrower shall require the applicable Manager to deposit all Collections (other than security deposits which shall be handled as set forth in Section 5.14 above) deposited into the Rent Deposit Account, which have posted to the Rent Deposit Account as funds available for transfer or withdrawal, into the Cash Management Account within five (5) Business Days after such funds are available for transfer or withdrawal, and to the extent Manager does not comply with such Borrower’s directions, such Borrower shall enforce its rights under the applicable Management Agreement that requires such Manager to comply with this Section 7.1.2. To the extent a Borrower or any Affiliate (other than any affiliated Manager) shall receive any Rent or other Collections, such Borrower shall, and such Borrower shall cause such Affiliates to, promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days after receipt) deposit all such Collections (other than security deposits, which shall be handled as set forth in Section 5.14 above) into the Cash Management Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Borrower or a Manager receives from a Tenant a check or other payment in an amount that is less than the Tenant then owes, then the applicable Borrower or the applicable Manager may return the same to the Tenant, without first depositing the same into the Cash Management Account or the Rent Deposit Account, as applicable, solely in order to preserve its right of eviction, provided that in any month, the aggregate of such returned amounts shall not exceed two percent (2.0%) of the Rents collected in the immediately preceding month. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, all Rents and other Collections shall be collateral for the Obligations and shall be

held by the applicable Borrower and such Manager in trust for the benefit, and as the property, of Collateral Agent for the benefit of Lenders, and such amounts shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of such Borrower or such Manager. Except for security deposits that are deposited into the Cash Management Account as described in Section 5.14 above, no Borrower shall deposit and no Borrower shall suffer to be deposited into the Cash Management Account any funds of any Person other than a Borrower.

(c) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Required Lenders may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lenders, direct Collateral Agent or Servicer in writing to apply any sums then present in the Rent Deposit Account to the payment of the Debt in any order in their sole discretion.

7.1.3. Tenant Direction Letters. During the continuance of a Trigger Period, Required Lenders may, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Lenders, require that each Borrower notify and advise each current and future Tenant via an instruction letter in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto (a “Tenant Direction Letter”) and any other sources of Collections (including, without limitation, credit card companies) that Required Lenders deem necessary to send all payments of Rent and other Collections (whether by cash, check or electronic means) directly to the Cash Management Account, subject to a lockbox services agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Required Lenders. Without the prior written consent of Required Lenders, no Borrower nor a Manager shall terminate, amend, revoke or modify any Tenant Direction Letter or other direction letter in any manner whatsoever, or direct or cause any Tenant or other source of Collections to pay any amount in any manner other than as provided in such Tenant Direction Letter or other direction letter, whether or not a Trigger Period is continuing. Each Borrower hereby grants to Lenders an irrevocable power of attorney, coupled with an interest, to execute and deliver to Tenants and other sources of Collections such Tenant Direction Letters and other direction letters during the continuance of a Trigger Period. Funds deposited into the Cash Management Account shall be applied and disbursed in accordance with this Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, Required Lenders shall have the right, at any time following the occurrence and continuance of a Trigger Period, to direct each Borrower and each Manager, and to directly notify Tenants and any other Person, to deposit any Collections directly into the Cash Management Account, or to any other deposit account established by Required Lenders from time to time. No Borrower shall deposit and each Borrower shall cause Manager not to deposit into the Cash Management Account any funds of any Person other than Borrower. Funds deposited into the Cash Management Account shall be applied and disbursed in accordance with this Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement.

7.1.4. Expenses. Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, pay for all expenses of opening and maintaining the Cash Management Account, the Rent Deposit Account, the Operating Account and any Security Deposit Account.

Section 7.2. Security Interest. As security for the Obligations, each Borrower hereby grants to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, a first-priority security interest in the Rent Deposit Account, each Reserve, the Cash Management Account and any other Account and all amounts at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof and will take all actions necessary to maintain in favor of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, a perfected first priority security interest therein, including executing and delivering to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, deposit account control agreements and filing UCC‑1 financing statements and continuations thereof. Each Borrower further authorizes Collateral Agent, at the direction of Required Lenders, to file such UCC‑1 financing statements and amendments and

continuations thereof to maintain a first priority, perfected security interest in the Collateral. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein and in the Collateral Document or may describe the Collateral as “all of the debtor’s personal property and other assets, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising, together with all products and proceeds thereof, substitutions and replacements therefor, and additions and accessions thereto” or words of similar meaning. Required Lenders shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Trigger Period that occurs (i) as result of an Event of Default, to direct the applicable banks to deliver all funds then held in the Cash Management Account, the Rent Deposit Account, and any Reserve, to an account established by Collateral Agent at the written direction of Required Lenders, for the benefit of all Lenders, to be applied to the payment of any portion of the Debt, as determined by Required Lenders, in their sole discretion, without seeking the appointment of a receiver and without adversely affecting the rights of Collateral Agent, at the written direction of Required Lenders, to foreclose the Lien of any Collateral Document or Lenders to exercise their rights under the Loan Documents, and (ii) as a result of the commencement of a Low Debt Service Period, to apply all Available Cash as provided in the first sentence of Section 7.3.7.

Section 7.3. Reserves.

7.3.1. Tax Reserve. On the Closing Date, Borrowers shall deposit in the Cash Management Account an amount sufficient to pay four (4) months of all Property Taxes (estimated as set forth in Section 7.3.11) that will be payable with respect to the Properties during the next ensuing twelve (12) months following the Closing Date. The reserves required to be maintained under the immediately preceding sentence are referred to collectively as the “Tax Reserve,” and the amounts deposited into the Tax Reserve are referred to herein as the “Tax Funds.” The Tax Reserve and all Tax Funds on deposit therein shall be held as additional collateral security for the payment and performance of the Obligations.

7.3.2. HOA Reserve. On the Closing Date, Borrowers shall deposit in the Cash Management Account an amount sufficient to pay four (4) months of all homeowner association dues (“▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇”) (estimated as set forth in Section 7.3.11) that will be payable with respect to the Properties during the next ensuing twelve (12) months following the Closing Date. The reserves required to be maintained under the immediately preceding sentence are referred to collectively as the “HOA Reserve,” and the amounts deposited into the HOA Reserve are referred to herein as the “HOA Funds.” The HOA Reserve and all HOA Funds on deposit therein shall be held as additional collateral security for the payment and performance of the Obligations.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.3.3 (b) below, on the Closing Date, Borrowers shall deposit in the Cash Management Account an amount sufficient to pay four (4) months of the Insurance Premiums (estimated as set forth herein) that will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months following the Closing Date. The reserves required to be maintained under the immediately preceding sentence are referred to collectively as the “Insurance Reserve,” and the amounts deposited into the Insurance Reserve are referred to herein as the “Insurance Funds.” Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.3.3 (b) below, the Insurance Reserve and all Insurance Funds on deposit therein shall be held as additional collateral security for the payment and performance of the Obligations.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.3.3, in the event that an Acceptable Blanket Policy is in effect with respect to the Policies required pursuant to Section 6.1, deposits into the Insurance Reserve required for Insurance Premiums pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 shall be suspended to the extent that Insurance Premiums relate to such Acceptable Blanket Policy. As of the date hereof, an Acceptable Blanket Policy is in effect with respect to the Policies required as of the Closing Date pursuant to Section 6.1.

7.3.4. Capital Expenditures Reserve. Borrowers shall deposit in the Cash Management Account on the Closing Date an amount equal $500.00 multiplied by the number of Properties as a reserve for the completion of maintenance work and capital projects at such Properties. The reserves required to be maintained under the immediately preceding sentence are referred to collectively as the “Capital Expenditures Reserve,” and amounts deposited into the Capital Expenditures Reserve are referred to herein as the “Capital Expenditures Funds.” The Capital Expenditures Reserve and all Capital Expenditures Funds on deposit therein shall be held as additional collateral security for the payment and performance of the Obligations.

7.3.5. Reserved.

7.3.6. Casualty and Condemnation Reserve. Borrowers shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the Cash Management Account all Insurance Proceeds and Awards in accordance with and to the extent required by the provisions of Section 6.2, Section 6.3 and Section 6.4 (the “Casualty and Condemnation Reserve”). Amounts deposited into the Casualty and Condemnation Reserve are referred to herein as the “Casualty and Condemnation Funds.” All Casualty and Condemnation Funds shall be held, disbursed and/or applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.3 or Section 6.4, as applicable.

7.3.7. Cash Collateral Reserve. During any Trigger Period, but subject to Collateral Agent’s and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’ respective paramount rights during an Event of Default described in Section 7.4.2, all Available Cash (after payment of the Monthly Budgeted Amount and any Approved Extraordinary Operating Expenses) shall be deposited in the Cash Management Account to be held for the benefit of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, as cash collateral for the Obligations (the “Cash Collateral Reserve”). Amounts deposited into the Cash Collateral Reserve are referred to as the “Cash Collateral Funds.” Required Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, in the sole and absolute discretion of Required Lenders, to direct Collateral Agent in writing to direct the Cash Management Account Bank to disburse any Cash Collateral Funds (and any other Collateral) to the Obligations, in such order and in such manner as Required Lenders shall determine. Following written request by Borrowers after a Trigger Period ends, and provided that no new Trigger Period then exists, Required Lenders shall direct the Cash Management Account Bank to release Cash Collateral Funds to, or at the direction of, Borrowers.

7.3.8. Interest Reserve. On each Payment Date, Borrowers shall deposit in the Cash Management Account an amount sufficient to pay all interest payable, or reasonably estimated by Required Lenders to be payable with respect to the Debt during the next ensuing thirty (30) days (the “Interest Reserve”). Amounts deposited into the Interest Reserve are referred to herein as the “Interest Funds.” Any Interest Funds remaining after the Debt has been paid in full in cash shall be returned to Borrowers.

7.3.9. Eligibility Reserve.

(a) Deposit of Eligibility Funds. If a Borrower shall be required to make a prepayment in respect of any Property pursuant to Section 2.4.2(a)(iii)(A) (other than in the case of any Property that constitutes a Disqualified Property due to the occurrence of a Voluntary Action in respect thereof), such Borrower shall have an option to deposit into a subaccount established at the Cash Management Account Bank to hold such funds (the “Eligibility Reserve”) an amount equal to, in any case, one hundred percent (100%) of the Allocated Loan Amount for any such Property (“Eligibility Reserve Funds”); provided that such Borrower provides Lenders and Servicer with written notice of any such Eligibility Funds and, no later than the due date for the prepayment required under Section 2.4.2(a)(iii)(A), delivers such Eligibility Funds to the Cash Management Account for transfer to the Eligibility Reserve.

(b) Release of Eligibility Funds. Provided no Default or Event of Default exists, Servicer, at the direction of Required Lenders, shall disburse the Eligibility Funds with respect to a Property to the applicable Borrower (i) upon the sale of such Property and prepayment of the Debt in an amount equal to the Release Amount for such Property, (ii) upon such Property becoming an Eligible Property or (iii) upon the substitution of a Substitute Property for such Property.

7.3.10. Transfer of Certain Reserves. Upon request of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Required Lenders agree to direct Collateral Agent in writing to transfer one or more of the Tax Reserve, the Insurance Reserve, and the Interest Reserve from the Cash Management Account to an account at another Eligible Institution reasonably acceptable to Required Lenders and under the sole dominion and control of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, subject to a control agreement satisfactory to Required Lenders (the “Alternate Reserve Account”).

7.3.11. Reserves Reporting Requirements. Not earlier than thirty (30) days and not later than ten (10) days prior to each Payment Date, Borrowers shall provide to Lenders estimates reasonably acceptable to Required Lenders together with appropriate supporting documentation of (i) Property Taxes payable with respect to the Properties during the twelve month period commencing on such Payment Date, (ii) ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ payable with respect to the Properties during the twelve month period commencing on such Payment Date and (iii) Insurance Premiums payable with respect to the renewal or replacement of the Policies during the twelve month period commencing on such Payment Date.

7.3.12. Minimum Balance Cure. If at any time the Tax Reserve, HOA Reserve, Capital Expenditures Reserve, or Insurance Reserve falls below the respective minimum balance described in this Section 7.3, Required Lenders shall notify Borrowers in writing, and Borrowers shall have fifteen (15) Business Days to deposit into the respective Reserve an amount sufficient to cause such Reserve to rise above the respective required minimum balance (the “Reserve Cure Deposit”). If Borrowers make the Reserve Cure Deposit the failure to maintain the respective Reserve minimum balance shall not be a Default or Event of Default under this Agreement.

Section 7.4. Property Cash Flow Allocation.

7.4.1. Order of Priority of Funds in Cash Management Account. Unless otherwise directed by Required Lenders during the continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.4.2, on each Payment Date, Collections on deposit in the Cash Management Account (less any fees and expenses of the Cash Management Account Bank then due and payable) on such day shall be applied on such Payment Date in the following order of priority:

(a) first, to the Security Deposit Account, the amount of any security deposits that have been deposited into the Cash Management Account by Borrowers during the calendar month ending immediately prior to such Payment Date;

(l) twelfth, to Lenders, pro rata based on their applicable Lender Percentages, any other fees, costs, expenses or indemnities then due or payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including without limitation, payment of the monthly servicing fee of any Servicer, if a Servicer is then being retained;

(m) thirteenth, if no Trigger Period is in effect, all amounts remaining after payment of the amounts set forth in clauses (a) through (l) above (the “Available Cash”) to one or more Operating Accounts of each Borrower; and

7.4.2. Application During an Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including in this Article 7) or elsewhere in the Loan Documents, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Required Lenders, at their option, may apply any Collections then in the possession of Servicer or the Cash Management Account Bank and any Reserve Funds on deposit in the Reserves to the payment of the Obligations sequentially first to any fees, expenses or indemnities then owed to Collateral Agent under the Collateral Agency Agreement, and second, in such order, proportion and priority as Required Lenders may determine. The right to withdraw and apply any of the foregoing funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender pursuant to any Legal Requirements and the Loan Documents.

7.4.3. Annual Budget. Within fifteen (15) days after the commencement of any Trigger Period and for so long as any Trigger Period continues, each Borrower shall submit to Lenders the Annual Budget for the succeeding twelve (12) calendar month period. Required Lenders shall have the right to approve each Annual Budget (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as no Event of Default is continuing). Required Lenders shall grant or deny, in writing to the applicable Borrower(s) with a reasonable explanation of any objections, any consent required hereunder within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of the applicable proposed Annual Budget. In the event that Required Lenders fail to respond within such period, a Borrower may resubmit such request. If Required Lenders again fail to respond within ten (10) Business Days of such resubmission, such failure shall be deemed to be the consent and approval of Required Lenders. Annual Budgets approved by Required Lenders shall hereinafter be referred to as an “Approved Annual Budget.” Until such time that any Annual Budget has been approved by Required Lenders, the prior Approved Annual Budget shall apply for all purposes hereunder (with such adjustments as reasonably determined by Required Lenders to reflect actual increases in Property Taxes, Insurance Premiums and utilities expenses) or, if no applicable Approved Annual Budget exists during any period when an Annual Budget is required, then any distribution pursuant to Section 7.4.1(n) shall be subject to Required Lenders’ discretion for each applicable Payment Date. Neither a Borrower nor a Manager shall change or modify any Approved Annual Budget without the prior written consent of Required Lenders. The “Monthly Budgeted Amount” for each Payment Date means the monthly amount

set forth in the Approved Annual Budget for Operating Expenses for the calendar month that includes such Payment Date, but excluding management fees, Property Taxes, and Insurance Premiums.

7.4.4. Extraordinary Operating Expenses. During any Trigger Period, if a Borrower incurs or is required to incur any Operating Expense not set forth in the Approved Annual Budget (each an “Extraordinary Operating Expense”), then such Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lenders a reasonably detailed explanation of such proposed Extraordinary Operating Expense for Required Lenders’ approval. Any Extraordinary Operating Expense approved by Required Lenders is referred to herein as an “Approved Extraordinary Operating Expense.” Any funds distributed to a Borrower for the payment of Approved Extraordinary Operating Expenses pursuant to Section 7.4.1 shall be used by such Borrower only to pay for such Approved Extraordinary Operating Expenses or reimburse such Borrower for such Approved Extraordinary Operating Expenses, as applicable, and the distribution thereof shall be subject to the satisfaction of conditions determined by Required Lenders.

Section 7.5. Release of Reserve Funds Generally. No Borrower shall be entitled to any earnings or interest on funds deposited into the Cash Management Account or the Reserves other than the Interest Reserve which shall be credited with interest or earnings, if any, obtained by Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, thereon. Any funds remaining in any Reserve (other than earnings or interest on those Reserves other than the Interest Reserve) after the Obligations have been paid in full shall be returned to such Borrower.

Section 8.2. Remedies.

8.2.1. Acceleration, Other Remedies. Without the necessity of notice or demand to any Person (which notice and demand each Borrower hereby expressly waives), (a) all Obligations shall be accelerated and shall become immediately due and payable automatically upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 8.1(g), and (b) such Obligations as Required Lenders may designate shall be accelerated and shall become immediately due and payable at the election of Required Lenders at any time upon or after the occurrence of any other Event of Default (and also as to any Event of Default described in clause (a) of this Section 8.2.1 to the extent that automatic acceleration is prevented by any lawful stay). Upon and at all times following the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lenders may suspend performance of any and all of its obligations under the Loan Documents, and Collateral Agent and Lenders shall have all rights and remedies available to them pursuant to the Loan Documents, and pursuant to all Legal Requirements, and Lenders may take, or direct Collateral Agent in writing to take, any action, without notice or demand (which notice and demand each Borrower hereby expressly waives) that Required Lenders elect to protect and enforce their rights against any Relevant Party and in and to the Collateral.

8.2.2. Remedies Cumulative. Each of the rights, powers and remedies of Collateral Agent and Lenders under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, applicable Legal Requirements and at equity shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other such right, power or remedy. Collateral Agent’s and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’ respective rights, powers and remedies may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such times and from time to time and as often and in such order as Required Lenders may determine, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting any of the other such rights, powers and remedies of Collateral Agent and Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing and to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, (a) neither Collateral Agent nor any Lender shall be subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, (b) all Liens and other rights, powers and remedies provided to Collateral Agent for the benefit of Lenders shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Obligations have been paid in full and (c) Lenders may pursue, or Required Lenders may direct Collateral Agent in writing to pursue, any

right, power or remedy against any Person or Collateral with or without accelerating the Obligations or pursuing any other right, power or remedy against any other Person or Collateral. No delay or omission of the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall limit or impair the same or any other right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed as a waiver thereof. A waiver of any Default or Event of Default with respect to any Person or Collateral shall not be construed to be a waiver as to any other Person or Collateral, nor of any subsequent Default or Event of Default with respect to the same Person or Collateral.

8.2.3. Severance.

(a) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Required Lenders shall have the right from time to time to direct Collateral Agent in writing to partially foreclose any Mortgage or the Lien of any of the other Collateral Documents in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Collateral Documents then due and payable as determined by Required Lenders, including the following circumstances: (i) if Borrowers default beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Required Lenders shall have the right to direct Collateral Agent in writing to foreclose one or more of the Mortgages or other Collateral Documents to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) if Required Lenders elect to accelerate less than the entire Debt, Required Lenders may direct Collateral Agent in writing foreclose one or more of the Mortgages or other Collateral Documents to recover so much of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Loan as Required Lenders may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgages and the other Collateral Documents as Required Lenders may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Mortgages and the other Collateral Documents to secure payment of the sums secured by the Collateral Documents and not previously recovered.

(b) During the continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever its Note into one or more separate notes, in such denominations as such Lender shall determine for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its respective rights and remedies provided under the Loan Documents. Borrowers shall execute and deliver to each Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of such Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as such Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Lender. Each Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints each Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, each Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, no Lender shall make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrowers by such Lender of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s intent to exercise its rights under such power.

(c) During the continuance of an Event of Default, any amounts recovered from the Collateral may be applied by Required Lenders toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents, in such order, priority and proportions as Required Lenders determine.

8.2.4. Lenders’ Right to Perform. If any Relevant Party fails to pay or perform any obligation under any Loan Document or the Management Agreement beyond the expiration of any applicable cure period, Required Lenders may, but shall have no obligation to, pay, perform, or cause the performance of, such obligation, in which case all costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), liabilities, penalties and fines incurred or paid by Lenders in connection therewith shall be paid

or reimbursed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, jointly and severally, to Lenders upon demand, and shall bear interest from such demand at the Default Rate. Lender need not give advance notice of any such action if Required Lenders determine in good faith that Lenders would incur risk of adverse consequences by doing so, and otherwise Required Lenders shall give five (5) Business Days’ advance notice of any such action. Any such payment or performance by Lender shall not limit Lenders’ other rights and remedies under the Loan Documents or under any Legal Requirement and shall not be deemed to waive or release any Borrower from performing any such obligation or its Obligations under the Loan Documents.

All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lenders for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

Section 9.25. Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees that any statements relating to a Relevant Party and any proprietary information relating to the business of Borrowers or the Properties received from Borrowers (the “Borrower Confidential Information”) and each Borrower agrees that any information relating to the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (the “Lender Confidential Information” and, together with Borrower Confidential Information, the “Confidential Information”) shall be maintained by a Lender or a Borrower, as applicable, as confidential, except that Confidential Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions no less restrictive than those of this Section to (i) any assignee of or participant in, or

any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of a Lender’s rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty, servicer, rating agency or trustee (or their respective advisors) to any swap, derivative transaction or securitization transaction relating to Borrowers and their obligations, (f) with the written consent of each Borrower (in the case of Borrower Confidential Information) or with the written consent of Required Lenders (in the case of Lender Confidential Information) or (g) to the extent such Confidential Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Borrower, a Manager or their respective Affiliates (in the case of Borrower Confidential Information) or from a source other than a Lender or its respective Affiliates (in the case of Lender Confidential Information).

In the event that a Lender or a Borrower receives a request to disclose all or any part of the Confidential Information under the terms of a subpoena or other order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by another governmental agency, including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any stock exchange or any similar organization or regulatory or quasi-regulatory body, such Person may comply with the order, however before complying such Person shall, to the extent practicable and legally permitted, (i) promptly notify the other party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such a request, (ii) consult with the other party on the advisability of taking reasonable steps to resist or narrow such request, at the other party’s expense (iii) if disclosure of such Confidential Information is required, furnish only such portion of the Confidential Information as such Person are advised by counsel (which may be an in-house counsel) is legally required to be disclosed, and (iv) provide the other party sufficient opportunity and reasonably cooperate, at such other party’s expense, with any action reasonably requested by such other party in its efforts to obtain an order preventing such disclosure or providing reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed.

Section 9.26. Principles of Construction. All references to sections, schedules and exhibits are to sections, schedules and exhibits in or to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Unless otherwise specified, the words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall refer to this Agreement or such other Loan Document as a whole and not to any particular provision hereof or thereof. When used in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the word “including” means “including, but not limited to.” Unless otherwise specified, all meanings attributed to defined terms herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms so defined. References herein to any Loan Document include such document as the same may be amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time. Each Borrower shall be deemed to have knowledge of a fact or matter if any officer, director or manager of any Relevant Party has actual (and not constructive) knowledge thereof.

Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and not investments in a business enterprise or securities.

Section 10.2 Each Lender, by signing this Agreement (i) represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and has, independently and without reliance upon any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold its portion of the Loan hereunder and (ii) expressly acknowledges that neither any other Lender nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any other Lender hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Relevant Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Lender. Each Lender shall, independently and without reliance upon any other Lender and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning a Borrower and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder.

Any successor Collateral Agent appointed pursuant to the Collateral Agency shall be entitled to all the rights, interests and benefits of Collateral Agent hereunder.

Lenders agree that they shall not have the right individually to seek to realize upon the security granted by any Collateral Document, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by Collateral Agent (for the benefit of Lenders) upon the terms of the Collateral Documents. In the event that any Collateral is hereafter pledged by any Person as collateral security for the Obligations, pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Agency Agreement, Collateral Agent shall be authorized, and shall be granted a power of attorney, to execute and deliver on behalf of Lenders any Collateral Documents necessary or appropriate to grant and perfect a Lien on such Collateral in favor of Collateral Agent on behalf of Lenders. Lenders have authorized Collateral Agent to release any Lien granted to or held by Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (i) as expressly described herein; (ii) as permitted by, but only in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Loan Document; or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (unless such release is required to be approved by all of Lenders hereunder). Upon request by Collateral Agent at any time, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will confirm in writing Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant hereto.
